There are many causes of moral degradation, including poor parenting, influence of media, family breakdowns and influence of neoliberalism
ideology. Approximately half of the US population thinks that the morality of the society is poor.
Lack of consideration for others, sense of entitlement and rampart narcissism also contribute to moral degradation. Family breakdowns
contribute to moral degradation because they cause children to lose both self-respect and respect for others.
Media contributes to moral degradation because it presents uncensored messages and images to the public. Most of neoliberl MSM broadcast
violence, crime and obscenity to raise the revenue.
Moral degradation is also revealed by dishonesty among business and government leaders and a the complete lack of accountability
of the elite. Most people are disgusted at the perceived greed of the top 1 percent.
In evolutionary terms, "moral degradation" is simply proliferation of antisocial behavior. This would be the opposite of
"prosocial" behavior, which many researchers have proposed is an evolved trait that has helped us survive as a species since we started
walking upright.
As to the factors that have contributed most to moral degradation, I suspect the following have been the most influential:
The elevation of greed, acquisitiveness, selfishness, indifference and exploitation that is so feverishly celebrated in
market capitalism.
Institutions that enforce dogmatic, tribalistic groupthink to maintain their own power.
Self-absorbed individualism (atomism) that does not appreciate the social context in which it exists (and without which
it wouldn't exist at all).
The persisting confusion and ignorance about the relationship (or lack thereof) between highly destructive and disingenuous
"religiosity," and highly constructive authentic spirituality.
Affluence that has not been earned, has no awareness of the negative externalities that have sustained it, and sidesteps
moral accountability because of its position of privilege in society.
Resource scarcity without any hope of changing the situation.
The standard for the measurement of moral degradation for individuals is the same for societies, just on a larger scale.
For individuals it is called morals, and for societies it is called ethics.
Ethics is where multiple individuals with multiple senses of what is moral disagree, interface, and do agree.
Ethics deemed to be important enough, and are allegedly agreed upon enough, are legislated and we have laws for. Laws are
written and enforced by government.
There are also many ethical topics that are not legislated, and people have to tolerate others when there is a difference
between individuals sense of morality, and no law is being broken.
Moral degradation is corruption. Ethical corruption at the societal level is expressed as unjust legislation. Moral corruption
at the individual level is expressed as breaking the just laws, with the exception of breaking an unjust law.
The paradox is when the entity that writes and enforces the law becomes corrupt.
The intended solution to this paradox is citizen participation by voting and communicating with elected officials.
One measure of moral degradation is when only approximately half of the population that could vote does vote.

Thank you for the A2A. T Collins Logan gives a more thoughtful answer than I can conjure up today, but I'll add to it. As
commonly used, it usually simply means change, in a manner that the speaker does not approve of. And it doesn't usually refer
to actual morals, it refers to behavior, with underlying unstated assumptions that often may themselves be immoral. Breastfeeding,
say. Objecting to that has some puritanical (not bad in itself) underpinnings that says "breasts are naughty" (a dehumanizing
statement) and so "babies should not be fed that way" (an unhealthy, very fucked-up thought). It's hard for me to think of a
less immoral act - yet we have had a breakdown in our morality that has turned that immoral.
So, in a sense, I say that it is immorality couched in morality - that we can benefit from the misfortune of others as long
as we don't "want" the misfortune of others directly. Which... is our economic system. When you have a system that insists very
strongly on treating people a certain way, they will conform and act that certain way. So if we are objects (not people), without
basic human rights (to eat, to be healthy), naturally subject to exploitation (capitalism), then we ACT that way. One is something
of an outcast if one promotes the opposite, and one has a harder life. It is a harder life to be openly gay - yet, one is acting
quite naturally. Why? Ultimately I think because it makes people think of S-E-X, which is dirty because passion is dirty because
it's an emotion. And, that our bodies are dirty because they get involved in passion. And we dig deeper, and we find it's because
people want to "own" others, most prominently men wanting to own women, moreso, own their passion - almost a form of slavery.
What does this have to do with being gay? Nothing. But you can see that the roots run very deep, and "moral degradation" comes
when we don't consider the roots of things, and so way on the top - we are disrespecting the right of people to be human, to
have privacy, to love for crissakes. It's easy to say "it's wrong because of x, y, z" but it wrongER to disrespect those other
rights.
Someone can starve, because I have the right to earn my money. A mother can't breastfeed her baby, because sex is uncontrollable.
And... I can rob and steal, because in our world, people are trying to rob and steal every day (using those terms to include
more than the materialistic). As you can see, this is using lesser morals to disregard higher morals. That's where the degradation
comes. Morality and ethics, ultimately, involves being able to balance and evaluate and do the "righter" thing - not just find
the one truism that happens to fit your own selfishness.

"... That Isabel and Christine Maxwell were able to forge close business ties with Microsoft after having been part of the front company that played a central role in PROMIS-related espionage and after explicitly managing their subsequent companies with the admitted intention to "rebuild" their spy father's work and legacy, strongly points to the probability of at least some Microsoft products having been compromised in some fashion, likely through alliances with Maxwell-run tech companies. The lack of mainstream media concern over the documented ties of the Epstein network to other top Microsoft executives of the past, such as Nathan Myhrvold, Linda Stone, and Steven Sinofsky, makes it clear that, while it may be open season on the relationship between Bill Gates and Epstein, such is not the case for Microsoft and Epstein. ..."

One of the architects of this "revolution," Klaus Schwab, said earlier this year that rebuilding and maintaining trust with the public was critical to that project.

It further appears that Bill Gates, then head of Microsoft, made a personal investment in
CommTouch at the behest of Isabel Maxwell. In an October 2000
article published in the Guardian , Isabel "jokes about persuading Bill Gates to
make a personal investment" in CommTouch sometime during this period.
The Guardian article then oddly notes, regarding Isabel Maxwell and Bill Gates:
"In a faux southern belle accent, [Isabel] purrs: 'He's got to spend $375m a year to keep
his tax-free status, why not allow me to help him.' She explodes with laughter."
Given that individuals as wealthy as Gates cannot have "tax-free status" and that this
article was published soon after the creation of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation,
Isabel's statements suggest that it was the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust, which
manages the foundation's endowment assets, that made this sizable investment in CommTouch.
Furthermore, it is worth highlighting the odd way in which Isabel describes her dealings
with Gates ("purring," speaking in a fake Southern accent), describing her interactions with
him in a way not found in any of her numerous other interviews on a wide variety of topics.
This odd behavior may be related to Isabel's previous interactions with Gates and/or the
mysterious relationship between Gates and Epstein during this time.
Isabel Maxwell as
CommTouch President
After 2000, CommTouch's business and clout expanded rapidly, with Isabel Maxwell
subsequently crediting investments from Microsoft, led by Gates, and Paul Allen for the
company's good fortune and the success of its effort to enter the US market. Maxwell, as quoted
in the 2002 book Fastalliances , states that Microsoft viewed CommTouch as a key "distribution
network," adding that "Microsoft's investment in us put us on the map. It gave us instant
credibility, validated our technology and service in the marketplace." By this time,
Microsoft's ties to CommTouch had deepened with new partnerships, including
CommTouch's hosting of Microsoft Exchange .
Though Isabel Maxwell was able to secure lucrative investments and alliances for CommTouch
and saw its products integrated into key software and hardware components produced and sold by
Microsoft and other tech giants, she was unable to improve the company's dire financial
situation, with CommTouch netting a loss of
$4.4 million in 1998 and similar losses well into the 2000s, with net losses totalling $24 million in 2000 (just one
year after the sizable investments from Microsoft, Paul Allen and Gates). The losses continued
even after Isabel formally left the company and became president emeritus in 2001. By 2006, the
company was over $170 million in debt. Isabel Maxwell left her position at CommTouch in 2001
but for years retained a sizable amount of CommTouch stock valued at the time at around $9.5
million . Today, Isabel Maxwell is, among other things, a " technology pioneer " of the World
Economic Forum.
Another indication of a relationship between Epstein and Gates prior to 2001 is Epstein's
cozy ties with Nathan Myhrvold, who joined Microsoft in the 1980s and became the company's
first chief technology officer in 1996. At the time, Myhrvold was one of Gates's closest
advisers, if not the closest, and cowrote Gates's 1996 book, The Road Ahead , which
sought to explain how emerging technologies would impact life in the years and decades to
come.
In December of the same year that he became Microsoft's CTO, Myhrvold traveled on Epstein's
plane from Kentucky to New Jersey, and then again in January 1997 from New Jersey to Florida.
Other passengers accompanying Myhrvold on these flights included Alan Dershowitz and "GM,"
presumably Ghislaine Maxwell. It is worth keeping in mind that this is the same period when
Gates had a documented relationship with Ghislaine's sister Isabel.
In addition, in the 1990s, Myhrvold traveled with Epstein in Russia alongside Esther Dyson , a digital
technology consultant who has been called "the most influential woman
in all the computer world." She currently has close ties to Google as well as the DNA testing
company 23andme and is a member of and
agenda contributor to the World Economic Forum. Dyson later stated that the meeting with
Epstein had been planned by Myhrvold. The meeting appears to have taken place in 1998, based on
information posted on Dyson's social media accounts.
One photo features Dyson and Epstein, with a time stamp indicating April 28, 1998, posing
with Pavel Oleynikov, who appears to have been
an employee of the Russian Federal Nuclear Center. In that photo, they are standing in front of
the house of the late Andrei Sakharov, the Soviet nuclear scientist and dissident, who is
alleged to have had ties to US intelligence.
Sakharov and his wife, Yelena Bonner, were supporters of Zionist causes
.
The photos were taken in Sarov, where the Russian Federal Nuclear Center is based. That same
day, another photo was taken that
shows Epstein inside a classroom full of teens, apparently also in Sarov, given the time
stamp.
Another Dyson
image , one without a visible time stamp but with a caption stating the photo was taken "at
Microsoft Russia in Moscow" in April 1998, shows Nathan Myhrvold. Dyson's caption further
states, "This was the beginning of a three-week trip during which Nathan and a variety of
hangers-on (including a bodyguard) explored the state of post-Soviet science." Epstein appears
to be one of the "hangers-on," given the photographs, dates, and the described purpose of the
trip.
Myhrvold and Epstein apparently had more in common than an interest in Russian scientific
advances. When Myhrvold left Microsoft to cofound Intellectual Ventures,
Vanity Fair reported that he had received Epstein at the firm's office with "young
girls" in tow who appeared to be "Russian models." A source close to Myhrvold and cited by
Vanity Fair claimed that Myhrvold spoke openly about borrowing Epstein's jet and
staying at his homes in Florida and New York. Vanity Fair also noted that Myhrvold has
been accused of having sex with minors provided by Epstein by none other than Harvard law
professor Alan Dershowitz, who stands accused of the same crime and who had previously flown
with Myhrvold on Epstein's private plane.
In addition, a former colleague of Myhrvold's at Microsoft later developed her own ties to
Epstein. Linda Stone , who joined
Microsoft in 1993 and worked directly under Myhrvold, eventually became a Microsoft vice
president. She introduced Epstein to Joi Ito of the MIT Media Lab after Epstein's first arrest.
"He has a tainted past, but Linda assures me that he's awesome," Ito later said in an email to
three MIT staffers. In Epstein's famous little black book, there are several phone numbers for
Stone, and her emergency contact is listed as Kelly Bovino, a former model and alleged Epstein
coconspirator. After Epstein's 2019 arrest, it emerged that Epstein
had "directed" Bill Gates to donate $2 million to the MIT lab in 2014. Epstein also
allegedly secured a $5 million donation from Leon Black for the lab. Ito was forced to resign
his post as the lab's director shortly after Epstein's 2019 arrest.
Nathan Myhrvold , Linda Stone , Joi Ito, Esther Dyson , and Bill Gates were all members of the Edge
Foundation community (edge.org website), alongside several other Silicon Valley icons. Edge,
which is described as an exclusive organization of intellectuals " redefining who and what we are ," was created by John
Brockman, a self-described "cultural impresario" and noted literary agent. Brockman is best
known for his deep ties to the art world in the late 1960s, though lesser
known are his various "management consulting" gigs for the Pentagon and White House during
that same period. Edge, which
the Guardian once called "the world's smartest website," is an exclusive online
symposium affiliated with what Brockman calls "the Third Culture." Epstein appears to have
become involved with Brockman as early as 1995, when he helped to finance and rescue a
struggling book project that was managed by Brockman.
Edge, however, is more than just a website. For decades, it was also instrumental in
bringing together tech executives, scientists who were often Brockman's clients, and Wall
Street financiers through its Millionaires' Dinner, first held in 1985. In 1999, this event
rebranded as the Billionaires' Dinner, and Epstein became intimately involved in these affairs
and the Edge Foundation itself. Epstein was photographed attending several of the dinners as
was Sarah Kellen, Ghislaine Maxwell's chief "assistant" and coconspirator in the
Epstein/Maxwell-run sex trafficking and blackmail scheme.

Jeffrey Epstein at the 2000 Edge Billionaires' Dinner Source: https://www.edge.org/igd/1200
From 2001 to 2017, Epstein
funded $638,000 out of a total of $857,000 raised by Edge. During this period, there were
several years when Epstein was Edge's only donor. Epstein stopped giving in 2015, which was
incidentally the same year that Edge decided to discontinue its annual Billionaires' Dinner
tradition. In addition, the only award Edge has ever given out, the $100,000 Edge of
Computation prize, was awarded in 2005 to Quantum computing pioneer David Deutsch -- it was
funded entirely by Epstein. A year before he began donating heavily to Edge, Epstein had
created the Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation to "fund and support cutting edge science around the
world."
Since the Epstein scandal, regular attendees of the Billionaires' Dinner, sometimes called
the Edge annual dinner, have referred to the event as an "influence operation." If one follows
the money, it appears it was an influence operation largely benefitting one man, Jeffrey
Epstein, and his network. The evidence points toward Myhrvold and Gates as being very much a
part of that network, even before Epstein's involvement in Edge increased
significantly.
It is worth exploring the ties between the "philanthropic" endeavors of Bill Gates and Bill
Clinton in the early 2000s, particularly given Epstein's and Ghislaine Maxwell's ties to the
Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative during that period. According to
former Israeli intelligence operative Ari Ben-Menashe, Bill Clinton
had been the main focus of Epstein's sexual blackmail operation in the 1990s,
a claim supported by Epstein victim testimony and Epstein's intimate involvement with
individuals who were close to the former president at the time.
Bill Gates at the White
House Conference on the New Economy in 2000, Source: LA Times
Despite tensions arising from the Clinton administration's pursuit of Microsoft's
monopoly in the late 1990s, the Gates and Clinton relationship had thawed by April 2000, when
Gates attended the White House " Conference on
the New Economy ." Attendees besides
Gates included close Epstein associate Lynn Forester (now Lady de Rothschild) and then
secretary of the treasury Larry Summers, who has also come under fire for his Epstein
ties. Another attendee was White House chief of staff Thomas "Mack" McLarty, whose special
assistant Mark Middleton met with Epstein
at least three times at the Clinton White House. Middleton was fired after press reports
surfaced detailing his ties to illegal donations linked to foreign governments that had been
made to Clinton's 1996 re-election campaign. Another participant in the conference was Janet
Yellen, Biden's current Secretary of the Treasury.
Gates spoke at a conference panel entitled "Closing the Global Divide: Health, Education and
Technology." He discussed how the mapping of the human genome would result in a new era of
technological breakthroughs and discussed the need to offer internet access to everyone to
close the digital divide and allow the "new" internet-based economy to take shape. At the time,
Gates was backing a
company , along with American Telecom billionaire Craig McCaw, that hoped to establish a
global internet service provider monopoly through a network of low-orbit satellites. That
company, Teledesic, shut down between 2002 and 2003 and is credited as being the
inspiration for Elon Musk's Starlink.
Bill Clinton and Bill Gates entered the world of philanthropy around the same time, with the
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation launching in 2000 and the Clinton Foundation, in 2001. Not
only that but Wired described the
two foundations as being "at the forefront of a new era in philanthropy, in which decisions --
often referred to as investments -- are made with the strategic precision demanded of business
and government, then painstakingly tracked to gauge their success."
Other media outlets, however, such as the Huffington
Post , challenged that these foundations engaged in "philanthropy" and asserted that
calling them such was causing "the rapid deconstruction of the accepted term." The
Huffington Post further noted that the Clinton Global Initiative (part of the Clinton
Foundation), the Gates Foundation, and a few similar organizations "all point in the direction
of blurring the boundaries between philanthropy, business and non-profits." It noted that this
model for "philanthropy" has been promoted by the World Economic Forum and the Milken
Institute. It is also worth noting that several of Epstein's own "philanthropic" vehicles were
also created just as this new era in philanthropy was beginning.
The Milken Institute was founded by
Michael Milken , the notorious Wall Street "junk bond king," who was indicted on 98 counts
of racketeering and securities fraud in 1989. He served little prison time and was ultimately
pardoned by Donald Trump. Milken committed his crimes while working alongside Leon Black
and Ron Perelman at Drexel
Burnham Lambert before its scandalous collapse. Black was deeply tied to Epstein, even
having Epstein manage his personal
"philanthropic" foundation for several years, even after Epstein's first arrest.
Perelman was a major Clinton donor whose 1995 fundraiser for the then president was attended by
Epstein and whose companies offered jobs to Webster Hubbell and Monica Lewinsky after their
respective scandals in the Clinton administration. Like Gates, Milken has transformed his
reputation for ruthlessness in the corporate world into one of a "prominent philanthropist."
Much of his "philanthropy" benefits the Israeli military and illegal Israeli settlements in
occupied Palestine.
Years after creating their foundations, Gates and Clinton discussed how they have "long
bonded over their shared mission" of normalizing this new model of philanthropy. Gates
spoke to
Wired in 2013 about "their forays into developing regions" and "cites the close
partnerships between their organizations." In that interview, Gates revealed that he had met
Clinton before he had become president, stating, "I knew him before he was president, I knew
him when he was president, and I know him now that he's not president."
Also in that interview, Clinton stated that after he left the White House he sought to focus
on two specific things. The first is the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), which he
stated exists "thanks largely to funding from the Gates Foundation," and the second is the
Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), "where I try to build a global network of people to do their
own thing."
The Clinton Health Access Initiative first received an $11
million donation from the Gates Foundation in 2009. Over the last twelve years, the Gates
Foundation has donated more than $497 million to CHAI. CHAI was initially founded in 2002 with
the mission of tackling HIV/AIDS globally through "strong government
relationships" and addressing "market inefficiencies." The Gates Foundation's significant
donations, however, began not long after CHAI's expansion
into malaria diagnostics and treatments. Notably, in 2011, Tachi Yamada, the former president
of the Gates Foundation's Global Health program, joined CHAI's board alongside Chelsea
Clinton.
Bill Gates and Bill Clinton at the annual Clinton Global Initiative in 2010
Regarding the CGI, Epstein's defense lawyers argued in
court in 2007 that Epstein had been "part of the original group that conceived of the
Clinton Global Initiative," which was first launched in 2005. Epstein's lawyers described the
CGI as a project "bringing together a community of global leaders to devise and implement
innovative solutions to some of the world's most pressing challenges." The Gates Foundation
gave the CGI a total of $2.5 million between 2012 and 2013 in addition to its massive donations
to the CHAI and an additional $35 million to the Clinton Foundation itself. In addition to the
Gates Foundation donations, Gates's Microsoft has been intimately involved in other
"philanthropic" projects backed by Clinton.
In addition to these ties,
Hillary Clinton established a partnership between the Clinton Foundation and the Gates
Foundation in 2014 as part of the Clintons' No Ceilings initiative. That partnership sought to
"gather and analyze data about the status of women and girls' participation around the world"
and involved the two foundations working "with leading technology partners to collect these
data and compile them." Months before the partnership was announced, Gates and Epstein met for
dinner and discussed the Gates Foundation and philanthropy, according to the
New York Times . During Hillary Clinton's unsuccessful run for president in 2016,
both Bill and Melinda Gates were on her
short list as potential options for vice president.
In addition, Epstein attempted to become involved in the Gates Foundation directly, as seen
by his efforts to convince the Gates Foundation to partner with JP Morgan on
a multibillion-dollar "global health charitable fund" that would have resulted in hefty
fees paid out to Epstein, who was very involved with JP Morgan at the time. Though that fund
never materialized, Epstein and Gates did discuss Epstein becoming involved in Gates's
philanthropic efforts. Some of these contacts were not reported by the mainstream press until
after the Bill and Melinda Gates divorce announcement. Yet, as mentioned, it was known that
Epstein had "directed" Gates to donate to at least one organization -- $2 million in 2014 to
the MIT Media Lab.
Recent revelations about Gates and Epstein meetings that took place between 2013 and 2014
have further underscored the importance Epstein apparently held in the world of billionaire
"philanthropy," with Gates reportedly claiming that Epstein was
his "ticket" to winning a Nobel Prize.
Norwegian media, however, reported in October 2020 that Gates and Epstein had met the Nobel
Committee chair, which failed to make a splash in international media at the time. It is worth
asking if Epstein managed to arrange such meetings with other individuals who also coveted
Nobel Prizes and if any such individuals later received those prizes. If Epstein had such
connections, it is unlikely that he would use them only once in the case of Bill Gates, given
the vastness of his network, particularly in the tech and science worlds.
The year 2013 is also when Bill
and Melinda Gates together met with Epstein at his New York residence, after which Melinda
allegedly began asking her soon-to-be ex-husband to distance himself from Epstein. While the
stated reason for this, in the wake of the Gateses' divorce announcement, was that Melinda was
put off by Epstein's past and his persona, it could potentially be related to other concerns
about Melinda's reputation and that of the foundation that shares her name.
Indeed, 2013 was also the year that the Gates mansion systems engineer, Rick Allen
Jones, began to be investigated by Seattle police for his child porn and child rape collection,
which contained over six thousand images and videos. Despite the gravity of his crime, when
Jones was
arrested at the Gates mansion a year later, he was not jailed after his arrest but was
merely ordered "to stay away from children," according to local media reports. From Melinda's
perspective, this scandal, combined with Bill Gates's growing association with convicted
pedophile Jeffrey Epstein may have posed a threat to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's
reputation, well before Epstein's 2019 arrest.
2013 was also the year that the Maxwells become involved in the Clinton Foundation. That
year, Ghislaine Maxwell's TerraMar Project, which officially supported UN Sustainable
Development Goals as they relate the world's oceans,
made a $1.25 million commitment to the Clinton Global Initiative as part of an effort to
form a Sustainable Oceans Alliance. TerraMar shut down shortly after Epstein's 2019
arrest.
Isabel Maxwell and Al Seckel at the World Economic Forum's 2011 Annual Meeting
Notably, Ghislaine's TerraMar Project was in many ways the successor to Isabel Maxwell's
failed Blue World Alliance, which was also ostensibly focused on the world's oceans. Blue World
Alliance was set up by Isabel and her now deceased husband Al Seckel, who had hosted a
"scientific conference" on Epstein's island. The Blue World Alliance also went under the name
Globalsolver Foundation, and Xavier Malina, Christine Maxwell's son, was listed as
Globalsolver's liaison to the Clinton Foundation. He was previously an intern at the Clinton
Global Initiative.
Malina
later work ed in the Obama administration at the Office of White House Personnel. He now
works for Google. It is also worth noting that during this same period, Isabel Maxwell's son,
Alexander Djerassi ,
was chief of staff at the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs in the Hillary Clinton–run State
Department.
While the Gates Foundation and the Clinton Foundation intermingled, and the latter had ties
to Epstein and Maxwell, it also appears that Epstein had significant influence over two of the
most prominent science advisers to Bill Gates over the last fifteen years -- Melanie Walker and
Boris Nikolic.

Foundation, where she is a fellow. Source: YouTube
Melanie Walker , now a celebrated neurosurgeon, met Jeffrey Epstein in 1992 soon after she
graduated from college, when he offered her a Victoria's Secret modelling job. Such offers were
often made by Epstein and his accomplices when recruiting women into his operation and it is
unclear if Walker ever actually worked as a model for the Leslie Wexner-owned company. She then
stayed at a New York apartment building associated with Epstein's trafficking operations during
visits to New York, but it is unclear how long she stayed there or at other Epstein-owned
properties. After she graduated from medical school in 1998, she became Epstein's science
adviser for at least a year. By 1999, she had grown so close to Prince Andrew that she
attended
a Windsor Castle birthday celebration hosted by the Queen along with Epstein and Ghislaine
Maxwell. During this period, Melanie appears on Epstein's flight logs under her birth name , Melanie
Starnes , though it looks like "Starves" on the flight logs.
The close relationship between Prince Andrew and Melanie Walker came under scrutiny after
Epstein's former housekeeper at the Zorro Ranch property, Deidre Stratton,
stated in an interview that Prince Andrew had been "given" a "beautiful young neurosurgeon"
while he stayed at Epstein's New Mexico property. Given that only one neurosurgeon was both
close to Prince Andrew and a part of Epstein's entourage at the time, it seems highly likely
that this woman "gifted" to Andrew was Melanie Walker. According to Stratton, Andrew "kept
company" with this woman for three days. The arrangement was set up by Epstein, who was not at
the property at the time. The exact timing of the stay is uncertain, but it likely took place
between 1999 and 2001.
"At the time, Jeffrey had this, she supposedly was a neurosurgeon, quite young, beautiful,
young and brilliant, and she stayed in the home with him At one point we had all these
different teas and you could pick the teas that you wanted and she asked me to find one that
would make Andrew more horny.
I'm guessing she understood her job was to entertain him because I guess, the fear, I
don't know; the fear would be that Andrew would say, "No I didn't really find her that
attractive." . . . He would tell Jeffrey that and then she would be on the ropes.
I'm guessing that, another theory is, that Jeffrey probably had her on retainer and she
knew what her job would be, should be, to make these people happy. . . . Sex was all they
thought about. I mean, I know for sure that Jeffrey would ideally like three massages a
day."
Sometime later, Walker moved to Seattle and began living with then Microsoft executive
Steven Sinofsky, who now serves as a
board partner at the venture capital firm Andreesen Horowitz. Andreesen Horowitz notably
backs Carbyne911, the Israel intelligence-linked precrime start-up funded by Epstein and his
close associate, former prime minister of Israel Ehud Barak, as well as another Israeli
intelligence-linked tech company led by Barak,
called Toka . Toka recently won contracts with the governments of Moldova, Nigeria, and
Ghana through the World Bank, where Melanie Walker is currently a director and a former special
adviser to its president. It is unclear when, how and under what circumstances Walker met
Sinofsky.
After moving to Seattle to be with Sinofsky and after a brief stint as a "practitioner in
the developing world" in China with the World Health Organization, Walker was hired as a senior
program officer by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in 2006. Given that the main feature
of Walker's resume at the time was having been a science adviser to another wealthy
"philanthropist," Jeffrey Epstein, her hire by the Gates Foundation for this critical role
further underscores how Bill Gates, at the very least, not only knew who Epstein was but knew
enough about his scientific interests and investments to want to hire Walker. Walker went on to
become deputy director for Global Development as well as a deputy director of Special
Initiatives at the foundation. According to
the Rockefeller Foundation , where she is a fellow, Walker later advised Gates on issues
pertaining to neurotechnology and brain science for Gates's
secretive company bgC3 , which Gates
originally registered as a think tank under the name Carillon Holdings. According to
federal filings,
bgC3's focus areas were "scientific and technological services," "industrial analysis and
research," and "design and development of computer hardware and software."
During her time at the Gates Foundation, Walker introduced Boris Nikolic, Gates's science
adviser, to Epstein. Today, Melanie Walker is the cochair of the World Economic Forum's Global
Future Council on Neurotechnology and Brain Science, having previously been named a WEF Young
Global Leader. She also advises the World Health Organization, which is closely linked to Bill
Gates's "philanthropy."
At the WEF, Walker wrote an article in 2016 entitled "
Healthcare in 2030: Goodbye Hospital, Hello Home-spital ," in which she discusses how
wearable devices, brain-machine interfaces, and injectable/swallowable robotic "medicines" will
be the norm by 2030. Years before COVID-19 and the Great Reset–inspired efforts to change
health care in just this way, Walker wrote that while the dystopian scenario she was painting
"sounds crazy . . . most of these technologies are either almost ready for prime time, or in
development." Of course, a lot of those technologies took shape thanks to the patronage of her
former bosses, Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Gates.
In the case of Boris Nikolic, after being introduced to Epstein through Walker, he
attended
a 2011 meeting with Gates and Epstein where he was photographed alongside James Staley,
then a senior JP Morgan executive, and Larry Summers, former Secretary of the Treasury and a
close Epstein associate. Nikolic was chief adviser for science and technology to Bill Gates at
the time, advising both the
Gates Foundation and bgC3. According to the mainstream narrative, this is supposed to be the
first time that Gates and Epstein had ever met. In addition, this may have been when Epstein
pitched the joint Gates Foundation–JP Morgan "global health charitable fund."
The 2011
meeting at Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan mansion attended by James E. Staley, Larry Summers,
Jeffery Epstein, Bill Gates and Boris Nikolic
In 2014, Nikolic " waxed
enthusiastic " about Epstein's supposed penchant for financial advice ahead of a public
offering for a gene-editing company that Nikolic had
a $42 million stake in . Notably, both Nikolic and Epstein were clients of the same group
of bankers at JP Morgan, with Bloomberg later reporting that Epstein regularly helped those
bankers attract wealthy new clients.
In 2016, Nikolic cofounded Biomatics capital, which invests in health-related
companies at "the convergence of genomics and digital data" that are "enabling the development
of superior therapeutics, diagnostics and delivery models." Nikolic founded Biomatics with
Julie Sunderland, formerly the director of the Gates Foundation's Strategic Investment
Fund.
At least three of the companies backed by Biomatics -- Qihan Biotech , eGenesis , and
Editas -- were cofounded by George Church, a Harvard geneticist with deep ties to Epstein
and also closely associated with the Edge Foundation. Biomatics investment in Qihan Biotech is
no longer listed on the
Biomatics website. Church's Qihan Biotech seeks to produce human tissues and organs inside pigs
for transplantation into humans, while eGenesis seeks to genetically modify pig organs for use
in humans. Editas produces CRISPR gene-editing "medicines" and is also backed by the Gates
Foundation as well as Google Ventures.
After Epstein's death in 2019, it was revealed that Nikolic had been named the "successor
executor" of Epstein's estate, further suggesting close ties to Epstein despite Nikolic's
claims to the contrary. After details of Epstein's will were made public, Nikolic did not sign
a form indicating his willingness to be executor and
did not ultimately serve in that role.
Despite the relatively abrupt shift in the mainstream media regarding what is acceptable to
discuss regarding the Jeffrey Epstein–Bill Gates relationship, many of these same media
outlets refuse to acknowledge much of the information contained in this investigative report.
This is particularly true in the case of the Evening Standard article and Bill Gates's
odd relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell's sister Isabel and CommTouch, the company Isabel
previously led.
The likely reason for the continued cover-up of the true extent of Epstein's ties to
Gates has much more to do with Gates's company Microsoft than with Bill Gates himself. While it
is now permissible to report on ties that discredit Gates's personal reputation, the
information that could tie his relationship with Epstein and the Maxwells to Microsoft has been
omitted.
If, as the Evening Standard reported, Epstein did make millions out of his
business ties with Gates prior to 2001 and if Gates's ties to Isabel Maxwell and the Israeli
espionage–linked company CommTouch were to become public knowledge, the result could
easily be a scandal on a par with the PROMIS software affair. Such a disclosure could be very
damaging for Microsoft and its partner the World
Economic Forum , as Microsoft has become a key player in the WEF's Fourth Industrial
Revolution initiatives that range from digital identity and vaccine passports to efforts to
replace human workers with artificial intelligence.
There are clearly powerful actors with a vested interest in keeping the Epstein-Gates
narrative squarely focused on 2011 and later -- not necessarily to protect Gates but more
likely to protect the company itself and other top Microsoft executives who appear to have been
compromised by Epstein and others in the same intelligence-linked network.
This is hardly an isolated incident, as similar efforts have been made to cover up (or
memory hole) the ties of Epstein and the Maxwells to other prominent Silicon Valley empires,
such as those led by
Jeff Bezos and
Elon Musk . One key reason for this is that the Epstein network's blackmail operation
involved not only sexual blackmail but electronic forms of blackmail , something used to
great effect by Robert Maxwell on behalf of Israeli intelligence as part of the PROMIS
operation. Given its nature, electronic forms of blackmail through illegal surveillance or
backdoored software can be used to compromise those in power with something to hide, but who
were uninclined to engage in the exploitation of minors, such as those abused by Epstein.
That Isabel and Christine Maxwell were able to forge close business ties with Microsoft
after having been part of the front company that played a central role in PROMIS-related
espionage and after explicitly managing their subsequent companies with the admitted intention
to "rebuild" their spy father's work and legacy, strongly points to the probability of at least
some Microsoft products having been compromised in some fashion, likely through alliances with
Maxwell-run tech companies. The lack of mainstream media concern over the documented ties of
the Epstein network to other top Microsoft executives of the past, such as Nathan Myhrvold,
Linda Stone, and Steven Sinofsky, makes it clear that, while it may be open season on the
relationship between Bill Gates and Epstein, such is not the case for Microsoft and
Epstein.
The ties of Epstein and the Maxwells to Silicon Valley, not just to Microsoft, are part
of a broader attempt to cover up the strong intelligence component in the origin of Silicon
Valley's most powerful companies. Much effort has been invested in creating a public perception
that these companies are strictly private entities despite their deep, long-standing ties to
the intelligence agencies and militaries of the United
States and
Israel . The true breadth of the Epstein scandal will never be covered by mainstream media
because so many news outlets are owned by these same Silicon Valley oligarchs or depend on
Silicon Valley for online reader engagement.
Perhaps the biggest reason why the military/intelligence origins and links to the
current Silicon Valley oligarchy will never be honestly examined, however, is that those very
entities are now working with breakneck speed to usher in the Fourth Industrial Revolution,
which would make artificial intelligence, automation, mass electronic surveillance, and
transhumanism central to human society. One of the architects of this "revolution," Klaus
Schwab, said earlier this year that rebuilding and maintaining trust with the public was
critical to that project. However, were the true nature of Silicon Valley, including its
significant ties to serial child rapist and sex trafficker Jeffery Epstein and his network, to
emerge, the public's trust would be significantly eroded, thus threatening what the global
oligarchy views as a project critical to its survival .
I'm always impressed with the vigorous detail and documentation in your articles. What
a menace these philanthropic organizations are to the ordinary and lowly. These billionaire
creeps never stop plotting and figuring out even more ways to stomp on people and push their
creepy agendas, which remain forever hidden.
"...

If there was a conspiracy to assassinate a man who knew compromising information about the
power elite, two of the lowest level conspirators are getting away with no jail time.
The two prison guards who allowed Jeffrey Epstein to die with nobody checking up on his
safety (despite having been on suicide watch), are getting a slap on their wrists: 100 hours of
community service and 6 months of
pretrial supervision . This seems a very light penalty considering that they falsified
documents attesting to their carrying out the duties that they neglected, and the profound
consequences of their perjurious neglect of duty. Public confidence in the integrity of the
Bureau of Prisons and the entire justice system has been tanked.
There is a faint ray of hope, however.
According to a
letter submitted to court seeking approval of the arrangement, the two guards, Michael
Thomas and Tova Noel, "will cooperate with a pending Department of Justice Office of Inspector
General review by providing truthful information related to their employment by the Bureau of
Prisons, including about the events and circumstances described in the Indictment."
Their cooperation will be enforced because the plea is a "deferred prosecution," meaning
that if their cooperation is deemed inadequate, they can be prosecuted to the full extent of
the law, likely meaning prison time. But are the prosecutors in the Southern District of
New York really interested in finding out if someone took advantage of (and possibly
encouraged) the guards' negligence to assassinate Epstein, as so many believe? We have
been told that Epstein had extensive video surveillance of the activities of his guests and
that his New York home was searched. Why has there been no sign of criminal prosecution of sex
with underage girls, as has been almost universally assumed to be taking place at his
mansion?
The guards may have benefited from consideration of their state of overwork due to short
staffing at the Manhattan facility. One was on a second consecutive 8-hour shift while the
other had worked mandatory overtime 5 days in a row. The prosecutors are not pushing a
narrative that would embarrass their fellow Justice Department colleagues at the Federal Bureau
of Prisons.
And that sort of self-protective instinct among federal employees, avoiding
embarrassment, could extend to letting sleeping dogs lie when it comes to getting to the bottom
of Epstein's activities with the rich, powerful, and famous.
A few years ago, I would have been mildly hopeful that the two guards would spill the
beans to prosecutors if Epstein didn't kill himself and there was some sort of conspiracy that
disabled security cameras and kept the guards away as an assassin killed him. But after
witnessing the behavior of the DOJ during the Trump presidency and after, In have no faith
whatsoever in the integrity of its prosecution decisions.
And now Esther Dyson comes into picture: "Myhrvold did, however, take a trip to Russia with tech journalist and conference host
Esther Dyson sometime in the 1990s, and spent time with Epstein there. When reached by The Daily Beast, Dyson said that Epstein
joined her and Myhrvold for a couple of days when their itineraries intersected in Sarov. The Microsoft executive had planned the
meetup with the financier, she said."
Notable quotes:
"... Gates' friendship with Epstein "who for years was accused of molesting scores of underage girls" still haunts Melinda, according to friends of the couple who spoke to The Daily Beast this week in light of the pair's divorce announcement, which had been weeks in the making. ..."
Normally if I want to quote a gossip rag, I go for Page Six.
Nevertheless: "Melinda Gates met
with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein alongside her husband, Bill, in New York City
and soon after said she was furious at the relationship between the two men, according to
people familiar with the situation.
The previously unreported meeting occurred at Epstein's Upper East Side mansion in September 2013, on the same day the
couple accepted the
Lasker-Bloomberg Public Service Award at The Pierre hotel and were
photographed alongside then-Mayor Mike Bloomberg.
The meeting would prove a turning point
for Gates' relationship with Epstein, the people familiar with the matter
say, as Melinda told friends after the encounter how uncomfortable she was in the company of
the wealthy sex offender and how she wanted nothing to do with him.
Gates'
friendship with Epstein "who for years was accused of molesting scores of underage girls" still haunts Melinda, according to friends of the couple who spoke to The
Daily Beast this week in light of the pair's divorce announcement, which had
been weeks in the making.
The split between Bill and Melinda Gates, announced last week, has been in the works for a
long time.
Ms. Gates consulted with divorce lawyers roughly two years before she filed for divorce from
Mr. Gates, saying their marriage was "irretrievably broken," according to people familiar with
the matter and documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
The 56-year-old philanthropist has been working with lawyers at several firms since at least
2019 to unwind the marriage of more than 25 years, according to these people and the
documents.
The couple hasn't said what prompted the split. One source of concern for Ms. Gates was her
husband's dealings with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to the people and a
former employee of their charity, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Ms. Gates's concerns
about the relationship dated as far back as 2013, the former employee said.
... ... ...
In early 2020, Mr. and Ms. Gates surprised many people when they said they wouldn't attend
the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, an annual gathering of business and world
leaders that the power couple had attended for years.
Melinda Gates, whose 'people' are undoubtedly trying to distance her from Bill's
controversies, was reportedly 'furious' after the couple had an uncomfortable 2013 meeting with
Jeffrey Epstein - who by then was a convicted pedophile .
People 'familiar with the matter' tell the Daily
Beast , the previously unreported meeting was held at Epstein's Upper East Side mansion in
September, 2013, the same day the couple was awarded the Lasker-Bloomberg Public Service award
at the Pierre Hotel , where they were photographed with then-Mayor Mike Bloomberg.
According to said 'people', the 2013 meeting would "prove a turning point for the Gates'
relationship with Epstein,' with Melinda telling friends after the encounter how uncomfortable
she was to be hanging around the wealthy sex offender.
According to the New York
Times , Gates and Epstein met at least six times , including visits to Epstein's New York
mansion on 'multiple occasions,' staying at least once into the night.
So - the Gates' had no problem traveling across the country to meet with the convicted
pedophile - who named Gates adviser Boris Nikolic as a fallback executor in a will Epstein
amended just days before his August 2019 death in a Manhattan jail cell.
... ... ...
Gates hilariously claimed that he wasn't aware it was Epstein's plane!
In March 2013, Mr. Gates flew on Mr. Epstein's Gulfstream plane from Teterboro Airport in
New Jersey to Palm Beach, Fla., according to a flight manifest. Ms. Arnold said Mr. Gates --
who has his own $40 million jet -- hadn't been aware it was Mr. Epstein's plane . -
New York
Times
Meanwhile, employees of the Gates foundation also visited Epstein's mansion on multiple
occasions, while Epstein also "spoke with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and JPMorgan
Chase about a proposed multibillion-dollar charitable fund -- an arrangement that had the
potential to generate enormous fees for Mr. Epstein ," according to the Times .
In late 2011, at Mr. Gates's instruction, the foundation sent a team to Mr. Epstein's
townhouse to have a preliminary talk about philanthropic fund-raising, according to three
people who were there. Mr. Epstein told his guests that if they searched his name on the
internet they might conclude he was a bad person but that what he had done -- soliciting
prostitution from an underage girl -- was no worse than "stealing a bagel," two of the people
said.
How Gates and Epstein met , according to the New York Times ;
Two members of Mr. Gates's inner circle -- Boris Nikolic and Melanie Walker -- were close
to Mr. Epstein and at times functioned as intermediaries between the two men.
Ms. Walker met Mr. Epstein in 1992 , six months after graduating from the University of
Texas. Mr. Epstein, who was an adviser to Mr. Wexner, the owner of Victoria's Secret, told
Ms. Walker that he could land her an audition for a modeling job there , according to Ms.
Walker. She later moved to New York and stayed in a Manhattan apartment building that Mr.
Epstein owned. After she graduated from medical school, she said, Mr. Epstein hired her as a
science adviser in 1998.
Ms. Walker later met Steven Sinofsky, a senior executive at Microsoft who became president
of its Windows division, and moved to Seattle to be with him. In 2006, she joined the Gates
Foundation with the title of senior program officer.
At the foundation, Ms. Walker met and befriended Mr. Nikolic , a native of what is now
Croatia and a former fellow at Harvard Medical School who was the foundation's science
adviser. Mr. Nikolic and Mr. Gates frequently traveled and socialized together.
Ms. Walker, who had remained in close touch with Mr. Epstein, introduced him to Mr.
Nikolic, and the men became friendly.
Mr. Epstein and Mr. Gates first met face to face on the evening of Jan. 31, 2011 , at Mr.
Epstein's townhouse on the Upper East Side. They were joined by Dr.
Eva Andersson-Dubin , a former Miss Sweden whom Mr. Epstein had once dated, and her
15-year-old daughter. (Dr. Andersson-Dubin's husband, the hedge fund billionaire Glenn Dubin,
was a friend and business associate of Mr. Epstein's. The Dubins declined to comment.)
The gathering started at 8 and lasted several hours, according to Ms. Arnold, Mr. Gates's
spokeswoman. Mr. Epstein subsequently boasted about the meeting in emails to friends and
associates. "Bill's great," he wrote in one, reviewed by The Times.
"I didn't go to New Mexico or Florida or Palm Beach or any of that," claims Gates. "There
were people around him who were saying, hey, if you want to raise money for global health and
get more philanthropy, he knows a lot of rich people."
And it looks like Gates was one of Epstein's "rich people." According to the report, Gates
donated $2 million to MIT's Media Lab, which university officials described as having been
"directed" by Epstein .
According to Arnold, Gates' spokeswoman, "Over time, Gates and his team realized Epstein's
capabilities and ideas were not legitimate and all contact with Epstein was discontinued."
Perhaps 'Gates and his team' should have steered clear of the known pedophile in the first
place?
Meanwhile Biden's son Hunter, the "smartest guy" his father knows, has his feet firmly in
his mouth in excerpts from an interview this Sunday about his 💻 that was full of
underage porn & business dealings involving his father when VPOTUS.
Epstein is also foreshadowed in the "Turner Diaries" in the person of "Kappy the Kike." On
the subject of Dr. Pierce and his works, the jews and their canp followers deleted hundreds
of hours of videos– first from YT then from every other video site– of Dr.
Pierce's weekly broadcasts set to some very skillful video editing.
One in particular named Wexner, Victoria's Secret, and how after buying Abercrombie and Fitch
he introduced "thongs for pre-teens" into their clothing line.
If you have never seen the aforementioned videos of dr. Pierce's broadcasts set to video,
highly recommend scouring various torrents until you find them
The FBI/SDNY reported they had seized DVD's from Epstein's Manhattan townhouse that were
labeled "Young [name] + name."
Why hasn't the FBI/SDNY arrested anyone found on the videotapes? Why haven't they
confirmed or denied future prosecutions? If they have the tapes, they can prosecute.
So what's the hold up?
According to former FBI Sibel Edmonds, the FBI and everyone else knew about Dennis Hastert
and they had video evidence. But the Clinton administration refused to prosecute because it
was better for them to use it as blackmail and political leverage.
Why hasn't Glenn Dubin andEva Andersson been arrested and charged for human trafficking?
There is already eyewitness testimony they had confiscated the passport of an underage girl
they had kidnapped and were holding against he will.

ated software that was then sold to governments and companies throughout the world. That
plot's success was largely due to the role of a close associate of then-President Ronald
Reagan and an American politician close to Maxwell, who later helped aid Reagan in the
cover-up of the Iran Contra scandal.
Perhaps the best illustration of how the connections between many of these players often
meld together can be seen in Ronald Lauder: a Mega Group member, former member of the Reagan
administration, long-time donor to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel's
Likud Party, as well as a long-time friend of Donald Trump and Roy Cohn.
@restless94110
Mega Group members -- and B'nai B'rith, particularly its spin-off known as the Anti-Defamation
League (ADL). The Bronfman brothers were major donors to the ADL, with Edgar Bronfman serving
as the ADL's honorary national vice-chair for several years.
In addition, Max Fisher of the Mega Group founded the National Jewish Coalition, now known
as the Republican Jewish Coalition -- the main pro-Israel neoconservative political lobbying
group, known for its support of hawkish policies, and whose current chief patrons, Sheldon
Adelson and Bernard Marcus, are among Donald Trump's top donors.
It is now going on a year and a half since "financier" and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein died,
allegedly by hanging himself in a New York City prison. Since that time it has surfaced that
there were a number of "administrative" errors in the jail, meaning that Epstein was not being
observed or on suicide watch even though he had reportedly attempted to kill himself
previously. The suspicion that Epstein was working for Israel's external intelligence agency
Mossad or for its military intelligence counterpart also seemed confirmed through both Israeli
and American sources. A recent book
Epstein: Dead Men Tell No Tales written by Ari Ben-Menashe the former Israeli intelligence
officer who actually ran the Epstein operation, described inter alia how Epstein was
blackmailing prominent politicians on behalf of Israeli intelligence. Epstein had been
working directly for the Israeli government since the 1980's and his operation, which was
funded by Israel and also by prominent American Jews, was a classic "honey-trap" which used
underage girls as bait to attract well-known politicians from around the world, a list that
included Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton. The politicians would be photographed and video
recorded when they were in bed with the girls. Afterwards, they would be approached and asked
to do favors for Israel.
It doesn't take much to pull what is already known together and ask the question "Who among
the celebrities and top-level politicians that Epstein cultivated were actually Israeli spies?"
And of course there is a subplot. Assuming that Epstein was in fact involved in recruiting
and/or running high level American agents in an "influence operation" that may have involved
blackmail it is possible to come to the conclusion that he was killed in prison and that the
suicide story was just a convenient cover-up. The Epstein case remains "open" and under
investigation though it doesn't seem that anything is actually happening, the sure sign that
someone powerful in the Establishment is making sure that nothing incriminating surfaces.
Indeed, there already exists some evidence that Epstein was being protected when he was
convicted in Florida of sex crimes in 2008 and was given a sentence that was little more than a
slap on the wrist. After the fact, the U.S. Attorney for Miami Alexander Acosta involved in the
case reported that the arrest and sentencing were above his pay grade, that he had been told
that Epstein "'belonged to intelligence', and to leave it alone" a comment that apparently has
never been pursued by investigators.
That the Epstein investigation appears to be in reverse gear suggests that one or more
powerful Americans are still not implicated in the case but are concerned that that might
change, but there remains an accessory to what went on at the Epstein mansion in Manhattan and
on his private island in the Caribbean. That would be Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently in
prison in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn and will be tried in July. Like the
Epstein story in general, she has largely dropped off the media screen and one has to wonder
what "get out of jail free" card she might be holding.
It has long been assumed that Epstein video recorded the sexual encounters with the underage
girls that he used in his intelligence activity to blackmail prominent politicians among
others. It has been suspected that Ghislaine has at least some of those tapes hidden in a
secret location and may be using them to cut a deal with investigators and prosecutors. It now
appears that she briefly discussed the tapes with CBS News 60 Minutes producer Ira Rosen, also
making clear that there were tapes of both Bill Clinton and
Donald Trump . The conversation took place in 2016 and she reportedly told Rosen that,
given Trump's involvement in the upcoming election, she would not release any information
derived from the tapes relating to Clinton until after the election and she would only do so
while also exposing Trump. Up until now, she has done neither.
It has long been known that Epstein knew both the ex-and future presidents, though both have
denied knowing the sex offender well for obvious reasons. Clinton, for example, flew on
Epstein's Lolita Express private 727 at least 26 times and his presence at Epstein's island
refuge has also been well documented. Trump clearly knew Epstein but has denied having any
contact with him after his registration as a sex offender in 2008.
Ghislaine, for her part, was allegedly recruited young girls for Epstein to exploit and was
a partner in his activity, though she has denied any guilt. Numerous victims say otherwise. Her
lawyers have tried
a number of ploys to free her, including claims that she had been abused by prison staff
and that the jury being selected to try her will be "too white." Her brother Ian claimed
last week that she is enduring "brutal and degrading treatment" in prison with four guards
watching her at all times. He added that she has lost 20 pounds and "ability to
concentrate."
Ghislaine
also offered to post a $28.5 million bail or a $5 million bond for home arrest in which she
would wear an ankle monitor, but the judge decided that given her extensive resources she
constitutes a considerable flight risk even if she turns in her American, British and French
passports. She would also be able to flee to Israel based on her father Robert's religion and
service to that country and Israel does not normally extradite.
The most interesting aspect of the arrest, imprisonment and trial of Ghislaine Maxwell is
what it does not do. She basically is being tried on whether it can be confirmed that she was a
"pimp" for Jeffrey Epstein. Her father was an Israeli intelligence asset and it is believed
that he made the connection between Epstein and the Jewish state's military intelligence. But
no one in that New York court room in July will be asking that. Nor will there be any
revelations about Epstein's "intelligence connection" nor of the possibility that the Israelis
had their hooks in both a former and a future American president. None of that will be on the
table and meanwhile Ghislaine might have those possibly incriminating tapes squirreled away
somewhere. That is the really important stuff that I would like to have the answers to. The
fact that the answers are not forthcoming sounds a bit like a cover-up, doesn't it?

Just imagine how differently the Epstein story would be covered by the media if Epstein
and Maxwell were ethnic Russians, and if Maxwell's father had received a State funeral in
Russia.
A recent book Epstein: Dead Men Tell No Tales written by Ari Ben-Menashe the former
Israeli intelligence officer who actually ran the Epstein operation,
He did that after being cut by the Israelis in the 80s for treason? Or he did
that while working with them on the Iran Contra scandal – must have been busy!
America is notorious for justifying or even undertaking with full knoeldege each and
every illegal activity as a necessity against foreign and domestic threat or for national
seciruty.
But often more than not,the secuirty is ignored and threat is not adderssed . Eptesin tape
,Ghisling – Quisling tapes arent going to disappear even if their lives are erased
from the memories of the victims ,politicians,or from their handlers.
I wonder ifSaudi and UAE royals also flew or if they flew the gilrs to London or Riyadh.
Theur capitulations to Israeli demands could only be explained as results of
manipulations.
I don't see that Epstein was so certainly an Israeli asset. Anyway- what could sex
blackmail achieve? Those politicians were already supportive of Israel. Why bother with
blackmailing them?
... ... ...
The entire affair is something truly- sleazy. And pathetically humiliating. One would
imagine that all those powerful guys could get laid as they wished, in any privately
arranged surroundings, fulfilling their geriatric sex fantasies. And here, all that is an
old-fashioned pimping via some sleazebag to get a piece of meat from runaway girls.
The deal Epstein received in Florida is nothing short of ..world shaking.
This creature's entire life was raping 13 year old girls who were white, poor and had no
fathers. Remember- they legally cannot give consent. It's an old bar exam troupe: Man has
16 year old girl execute notarized statement agreeing to sex , has her mother deposed, buys
her a 5 carat diamond, has a psych eval to make sure she is emotionally sophisticated
enough to have sex and then has sex with her. Legal? Never.
Legally, a human being is incapable of giving consent to have sexual intercourse under
the age of 18 in Florida.
When a few gumshoes and state Detectives began aggressively investigating Epstein-
Epstein hired Private Investigators to harass th em.
Let that sink in. He hired a PI to shine his headlights in a Detective's home at 3AM for
hours and blow his horn. If we did that, we would be getting our head kicked in at the jail
and probably be recorded as accidental death.
The naked brazenness of Epstein is prima facie evidence he was and is being protected
by the US government for the Israeli government . And he still is. His ferret faced
pimp Maxwell thought he would protect her and that is why she foolishly remained in
American -- -because she knew Epstein was alive and believed his power was her
talisman.
Who is that dumb? To believe a man who treated young girls like a masturbation dishrags
was going to be her hero?
@Bardon
Kaldian no sense. If Epstein was as 'connected ' as we are led to believe, why did he
leave Paris and return to the US to face arrest? Surely he would have been tipped off that
he was under investigation.
Then there is the $158 million Epstein was paid by Apollo Capital's Leon Black. As you
note a man with his wealth could rustle up his own stable of teeny boppers if that was his
desire. He had no need for an Epstein. Further the 'fees' he was paying Epstein were
raising eyebrows with other senior managers at Apollo.
Something sinister going on for sure but what could be so valuable for billionaires to
risk their reputations by associating with an Epstein?
The apparently irrational support for Israel and extreme Jewish causes on the part of
those highly placed in society has to be far more to do with blackmail than with mere
financial leverage as is generally believed. This thing is now on an industrial scale and I
should suppose 'they' can now get to just about anybody that they want to 'influence'.
A couple of pervs being useful to foreign intelligence services. The true source of all
his unlimited money doesn't seem to ever have been truly explained so it's quite possible
that the Israeli state was secretly subsidizing him from behind the scenes. Maxwell has
three passports? That's quite unusual. The trial will have a narrow focus on the pimping so
we'll never hear about anything beyond that so I have to agree with Mr Giraldi on that. I
can't agree with this Epstein is alive idea. It's like the mafia: he became just a
liability, knew too much and had outlived his usefulness. Dead people don't talk. They're
not in the business of rescuing people. Murder or suicide, he's dead.
There's been lots of speculation about the sexual depravities of the political class.
Where there's smoke there's fire. It's hard to see, though, what a foreign government could
get through blackmail that they couldn't get with old-fashioned bribery. Perhaps it works
best at the second tier of elites, inducing corporate heads to make investments here and
there, allowing technical knowledge to be transferred, letting them spy through internet
backdoors, etc.
@Bardon
Kaldian ith underage females (no pedophilia) for Anglo & Anglo-American elite with
a strong Jewish presence.
It's possible. But why would he have done that? Probably the business with the girls
costed millions. What would he get back from it? What have politicians payed him for the
service? Why would he do very expensive favours for politicians?
If your idea is right, there would be money involved in the business and there would be
many other "clients". But we never heard about them, only about a few names of politicians.
It seems that the Prince was more or less close to him, but this is apparently not the case
with other possible famous clients.
Mr. Girardi, Given your experience in world of espionage and time spent in the UK, could
you possibly take a shot at answering this?
OK– given who Robert Maxwell was and that his infamy went so far that even a teenage
American pleb like me knew about his raid on the pension funds and his "suicide" 20+ years
ago, how the hell did MI-5 not know?
Assuming MI-5 knew, how could they not call up The Royal Protection Squad and say to them:
" hey, mention to Randy Andy he is bringing mossad spies into the royal palaces and God only
knows what they could be planting in there."
Or is MI-5 so Jewed they dare not even mention the obvious?
The FBI grabbed the safe and its contents that were in Epstein's NYC townhouse that he got
from Leslie Wexner of the New Albany and Columbus Wexners.
The FBI, now in possession of all that Blackmail material, continues J. Edgar Hoover's
tradition of shakedown and manipulation of Gubbamint perverts.
Democracy In Action.
Thanks so much for writing this. Our politicians, business and civic leaders, and young
up-and-coming leading citizens all need to be forewarned that various intel agencies still
run honey-traps using secret recordings.
I imagine they watch a target's online life also. If a business magnate is sneaking around
on a website like Adultfriendfinder, or orders an expensive hooker from a website to come to
a hotel's penthouse in New York, these intel agencies may have ways of knowing this and
setting him up. They could have assets approach hin in the hotel bar also. Im grateful your
colum can serve as a warning, and hope its widely shared.
@anon
l case entails. The police chief did that because Epstein legal and investigative team were
running rings round the state police.
Extremely wealthy men are not what the legal system is set up for dealing with, so Epstein
got off lightly, compared to what the average man would have got. However it must be
borne in mind that his victims got paid very substantial compensation–totaling tens of
millions– as part of the deal, and Epstein was sent to prison as a sex offender and
publicly disgraced. Not a very impressive result for a centi-millionaire who also had high
level Deep State people intervening for him. Ditto Ghislaine.
First, a pedophile is a person who is attracted sexually to prepubescent females. Since
Epstein was not that then he is definitively not a pedophile.
Second, a pimp is a person, almost always male, who has a "stable" of 2 or more girls that
he sends out to have sex for money, all or most of which he takes. Since Maxwell is at most
accused of asking older teenagers–all of them within 18 months of or over the legal age
of consent, depending on the individual state and the individual country–if they would
go take money for sex, and since Maxwell did not take any part of the money the girls
received, and since the girls voluntarily had the sex for the money, it is definitively clear
that Maxwell was not a pimp, and there is no case at all against her.
Third and last, I followed the link referenced in regard to Maxwell saying that she had
tapes on Trump and Clinton, and that's not what she said. The source is murky and weird
anyway, but what there is of it is that it comes from a producer of 60 Minutes who no longer
works there but had a book to sell. He asked her a leading question ("There are tapes aren't
there?") and she gave a couple of noncommittal responses that neither admitted nor revealed
anything. It looks like the guy was trying to pump up his boring book to get more sales.
The fact is that your article is just regurgitated nonsense. Maxwell will walk. She should
have been given bail months ago. She wasn't running and she wasn't hiding before. Obviously
the felt strongly that she had done nothing illegal. And it's clear, she hadn't.
This is a complete waste of time and money. It is obvious that female prosecutors are
behind it. We can only hope and pray for justice. Don't let them get away with their
Stalinist show trials one day longer.
After the fact, the U.S. Attorney for Miami Alexander Acosta involved in the case
reported that the arrest and sentencing were above his pay grade, that he had been told
that Epstein " 'belonged to intelligence' , and to leave it alone" a comment that
apparently has never been pursued by investigators.
This is absolutely key. How has this not been followed up? How is Acosta able to live a
normal life without being hounded day and night to reveal who told him this? Which
intelligence agency? Why isn't this the subject of counter-intelligence investigations? Where
is Acosta now?
I believe the fact that Bill Clinton was recorded to have been on the Lolita Express
approximately 26 times illustrates that he was shown tapes very early on and thought "in for
a penny – in for a pound" and went back for more helpings. I am not surprised at all
that he was compromised as he is known to think with his lower regions, but for others, i.e.
Prince Andrew, surely he would be aware of Ashkenazi tactics – especially with
blackmail.
I think the blackmailed put themselves in a position to be blackmailed because they were
told that that was the way to join the insiders whose careers were guaranteed.
@Curmudgeon
n an act of prostitution at 17, or under the age of 18, even the day before his or her 18
birthday.
Although being a prostitute age 18 and over is legal in the UK; pimping pandering
soliciting for prostitution running a brothel and being the customer of a prostitute is still
illegal in England
If, as you say she was paid by Epstein $5,000 for sex with Andrew, Guiffre committed an
illegal act of prostitution . If Epstein paid her, that was pimping or money for sex; illegal
in the UK. If, as Guiffre claimed, the act of prostitution took place in Maxwell's home, that
was Maxwell committing the crime of running a brothel or house of prostitution.
but for others, i.e. Prince Andrew, surely he would be aware of Ashkenazi tactics
– especially with blackmail.
Question is, what the Hell werePrince Andrew's official "protection officers" doing? These
people are presumably managed by one or other of Britain's security services. They must have
known what Andrew was doing. Why, then, did the security service not intervene and warn
Andrew off Epstein's Island? Or was he doing a job for them -- spying on Epstein's spying
operation?
@Alden
n well and correctly the technicalities of the situation in the UK and that Guiffre, Maxwell
and Epstein were all guilty of some crimes relating to the illicit sex trade. But was Prince
Andrew guilty of anything? Unless he was soliciting for sex with Guiffre? He wasn't offering
her money, but if he knew she was being paid by Epstein and trafficked across borders by
Epstein and Maxwell? Of course he may have been using underage girls of this sex ring
elsewhere that we have not been told about. But you are right, Curmudgeon should know that
even transporting a grandmother across borders to engage in paid sex, i.e prostitution, is
sex/human trafficking and a crime in most countries.
Actually, if you read the 'Chicago Jewish News', October 24, 2008, the article by Pauline
Yearwood, entitled 'Obama and the Jews', you will find that Abner Mikva, Chicago Jewish
society stalwart, former Congressman, judge and Clinton apparatchik, declared Obama 'the
first Jewish President'. Obviously Clinton was just another useful Sabbat Goy idiot.
I ordered this book when Paul Craig Roberts mentioned, and quoted from it, on February 14,
2021. I especially liked PCRs quote halfway through the essay:
The United States isn't a nation any longer . It is a collection of peoples
without a country. A nation requires a unifying spirit of the people, and the United States
has no such unifying spirit. Martyanov observes that there is nothing in common between
a white WASP farm worker from Iowa, a Jewish lawyer from Manhattan, and a black rapper from
the Bronx. They view the world, America and their place in it differently, and those
visions are irreconcilable.
This has been obvious to some of us for decades. Worse yet, there is no mechanism or
movement anyone can imagine that will keep the disintegration process in check. If anything,
the elites are finding new and exciting ways to divide Americans further, and nobody is
happier about it than the social media addicts who enjoy bigger and better rotten egg memes
they can toss at the enemy de jour.
This is interesting too:
Not only is America's crisis systemic, but its elites are uncultured , badly educated
and mesmerized by decades of their own propaganda, which in the end, they accept as a
reality
I do hope the author means "uncultured" in the pejorative, insulting, Russian sense of the
word. They are the "elites" who are revolting, and they are too dumb to know they are kicking
the floorboards out from under their feet.
"People of the United States, your ruling elites are lying to you just like the chamber
orchestra on the Titanic that was playing music while the supposedly "unsinkable" Titanic
was sinking!".
The difference is, the actual American ship was just fine and hadn't hit an iceberg.
Rather, we were being deliberately sunk by a bunch of loons who were punching holes in the
hull of the ship!
But don't go thinking the whole shebang is about to go under. This has been the dream of
preppers on the right, and various anti-American groups on the other side, for generations.
The Big Collapse, in which the whole North American continent, with all its power and wealth,
just vanishes, is a pipe dream.
The most immediate causes of US collapse are, in my opinion, the rise of the predator,
parasite, class to a position of total dominance while the proles have sunk into the shite,
and the rise of China...
For those who read and study history, it has long been known that the CIA has placed their
operatives throughout every agency of the U.S. government, as explained by Fletcher Prouty in
The Secret Team ; that CIA officers Cord Myer and Frank Wisner operated secret programs to get
some of the most vocal exponents of intellectual freedom among intellectuals, journalists, and
writers to be their voices for unfreedom and censorship, as explained by Frances Stonor
Saunders in The Cultural Cold War and Joel Whitney in Finks , among others; that Cord Myer was
especially focused on and successful in "courting the Compatible Left" since right wingers were
already in the Agency's pocket.

They are always leading you. They deal with different levels of awareness with different
narratives.
Did you ever stop and wonder for a single minute if one man, Rockefeller, was really the
single power behind standard oil? Ever hear of front men? Those are the ones meant to be
seen.
How few ever wonder who TF really controlled the CIA and it's precursor?
No, people stop right there. They think they are super informed by knowing Rockefeller and
the CIA. They try to hold the line there.
This suppression of conspiracy theory tactic, of trying to get people to fixate on
operation paperclip, which is a limited hangout nothingburger, is also really over used.
Ever hear of the Mossad Honeypot run by Epstein and other enemy foreign agents? How about
how the whole world watched the FBI cover it up?
Oh, that's way too hot to touch. Let's talk about standard oil and operation
paperclip.
Why was Epstein's island named Little St James? What did the feds bury there with that
heavy equipment? What Intel agency did Robert Maxwell and Mega group work for? Why doesn't
anybody mention that they are all Mossad
Oh yeah, there is the answer to all of it. Now let's go revisit those "anti-Semitic
conspiracy theories" on currency ownership.

As for Roberts, I suspect that, as someone on the "inside" and knowing how things
actually, not theoretically, get done, he sees Trump as a disrupter. Even Reagan, under whom
Roberts served, was frequently hamstrung by a number of these people, and Reagan had the
advantage of being Governor of California. I'm not so sure his enthusiasm is about Trump,
beyond Trump's ripping the mask of US foreign policy and exposing the deep state media for
what it is.
Hunter Biden's laptop. The article is by Peter Van Buren, who indeed is not a nutcase.
Anyone here ever / currently a free lance? You'll love these details:
"for example, on September 28, 2018, Hunter ordered $95,000 transferred without
explanation), a "business" run by Jim Biden out of a residential address. Jim regularly
invoiced Hunter for office expenses and employee costs, as well as a monthly retainer cost of
some $68,000, plus other fees in the tens of thousands of dollars."
Sure: My accountant would have been ga-ga for that. Then there's this little tidbit in
which the CPA seems to believe that paying taxes is voluntary:
"The CPA's concern is that the IRS is sensitive to the fact that some try to conceal
income as loans to be written off as expenses later, especially if the amounts are large.
This can trigger an audit. If the loans are "forgiven," then they are income. If not
declared, that is potential fraud. The same note from the CPA indicates Hunter owes $600,000
in personal taxes and another $204,000 for Owasco and urges him to file a return even if he
is not going to pay the taxes."
The most charitable reading of the sleazy saga is that Joe Biden, one of the most powerful
men in the world, is an incredibly gullible idiot. (By
vasilis asvestas / Shutterstock)
Iread the files on Hunter Biden's laptop. They paint a sleazy picture of multi-million
dollar wire transfers, potential money laundering, and possible tax evasion. They raise serious
questions about the judgment and propriety of Jim Biden, the president-elect's brother, and Joe
himself. Call it smoke not fire, but smoke that should not be ignored. The files were supplied
to TAC by a known source previously established to have access.
Joe Biden is lucky a coordinated media effort kept Hunter out of the campaign. The FBI has
had the laptop since 2019, when they subpoenaed
the files in connection with a money laundering investigation. Federal investigators also
served a round of subpoenas on December 8, a month after the election, including one for Hunter
Biden himself. While the legal thrust of the investigation by the federal prosecutor in
Delaware is taxes, the real focus seems to be on Hunter's Chinese connections. This all comes
after the FBI has had over a year to examine some of the same files TAC looked at.
In the final weeks before the election, Hunter's laptop fell into Republican hands. The
story went public in the New York Post , revealing that Hunter Biden introduced his
father, then vice president, to a top executive at Ukrainian energy firm Burisma less than a
year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor
who was investigating the company. The meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that
Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, sent Hunter Biden about a year after
Hunter himself joined the Burisma board at a salary of $ 83,000
a month with no obvious work duties past making such introductions.
Nice work if you can get it, and to get it your dad better be vice president. If all that
alone does not meet the test of impropriety, we need a new test. Hunter Biden's value to
clients was his perceived access to the White House. His father Joe was at least a passive
participant in the scheme, maybe more than that.
The problem was many Americans never heard this story. Twitter led a social media charge to
not allow the information online. After years of salivating over every bit of Trump family
gossip, the mainstream media claimed the Biden story did not matter, or was Russian disinfo .
Surveys suggest the information could have swung the election if voters had known about it. One
survey showed
that enough people in battleground states would have changed their votes to give Trump 311
electoral votes and reelection.
No mind, really. As soon as it became clear Joe Biden was going to win, the media on all
sides lost interest in the laptop. The story became about the story. It devolved into think
pieces about the Orwellian role of social media and some online giggling about the sex tapes on
the laptop. But our short attention spans have consequences. The laptop still has a lot to tell
us.
00:11 / 01:00 Next Video First Panel, TAC's 7th
Annual Foreign Policy Conference What Does 2020 Mean For Foreign Policy Cancel Autoplay is
paused
Hunter's laptop was chock-a-block with video that appears to show Hunter smoking crack while
engaged in a sex act with a woman, as well as numerous other sexually explicit images. There's
evidence there that Hunter spent money on
escorts , some
$21,000 on cam sites, big plays on all sorts of
depravities . There is also Joe's car insurance information, Hunter's SSN, pages of call
logs, and lots of email addresses, bank account numbers, and personal information of prominent
people. None of the material is encrypted, just dumped on a standard MacBook Pro using the
password "Hunter02." The machine was regularly connected to the internet and might as well have
had an electronic sign on it saying "My dad is important, here's what you'll need to blackmail
me and others to get to him."
But there is more. The laptop shows Hunter, through a number of front companies, accepted
money from Chinese and Ukrainian entities and moved that money to the U.S. where it was
parceled out to other entities, including Joe Biden's brother. Some of it then went back to
Chinese hands. There is no way a simple read-through can tell if the money was legal consulting
fees or illegal money laundering and tax fraud. But it all smells bad: multi-million dollar
transfers to LLCs without employees, residences used as multiple business addresses, legal
tricks from Cyprus and the British Virgin Islands, and even a minor CIA connection.
Ask yourself if this demands more investigation. Ask yourself if voters might not have
benefited from knowing more about Joe Biden's side of all this.
The majority of the contents of the laptop are a jumbled record of Hunter's international
business ventures and financial records. Outstanding in the haystack are a large number of wire
transfers. Those with traceable addresses appear to be mostly anonymous shell companies run out
of lawyers' offices, with no employees and fuzzy public paper trails. One off the top involved
$259,845 traveling on April 2, 2018, from the Hudson West III in New York to a numbered account
held by Cathay Bank. Hudson West was created by Hunter Biden's own law firm, Owasco, with
several Chinese nationals, including a Ye Jianming associate, Gong Wendong. Ye Jianming is
chairman of CEFC China Energy, who reportedly
had close ties to both the Chinese government and the People's Liberation Army. He's been
arrested in China on corruption charges and has conveniently disappeared.
Biden in August 2018 also returned $100,000 back to CEFC in China via its own New York
subsidiary LLC, Hudson West V, whose listed address is 12 Foxwood Road, Great Neck, NY 11024.
That address is not a business office but instead a single family home worth over $6 million.
Phone records
suggest two people live there, including Gong Wendong. Money appears to move from physical
China to virtual Hunter back to virtual China in the U.S., starting and ending in accounts tied
to Gong Wendong after touching base with Hunter, a potential indicator of laundering. Chinese
money in China changed into Chinese money in America. Caution is needed; while what looks like
money laundering at first glance may indeed be so, it may be designed to hide the cash from the
Chinese government while staying inside American law, a quasi-legal service Hunter possibly
supplied.
That 12 Foxwood address shows up again on Biden's laptop as the mailing address for another
Gong Wendong venture, ColdHarbour Capital, which sent and received money to Biden. It is also
listed as the residence of Shan Gao, who appears to control accounts in Beijing tied to Hudson,
CEFC, and 12 Foxwood.
The most significant appearance of 12 Foxwood was as the mailing address for a secured VISA
card in the name of Biden's company, Hudson West III. The card is funded by someone unnamed
through Cathay Bank for $99,000 and guaranteed by someone's checking account held by Cathay
worth $450,000. Shared users of the card are Hunter and Gong Wendong. The card was opened as
CEFC secured a stake in a Russian state-owned energy company. Biden and others subsequently
used the credit card to purchase $101,291.46 worth of extravagant items, including airline
tickets and multiple items at Apple stores, pharmacies, hotels, and restaurants. A Senate
report
characterized these transactions as "potential financial criminal activity." Putting money on a
secured VISA card in lieu of a direct wire transfer to Biden may be seen by some as an attempt
to hide the source of the money and thus allow Biden not to claim it as income.
James Biden and Sara Biden were also authorized users of the credit card, though their
business connection to Hunter and Gong Wendong is unclear. Jim is Joe's brother, Sara his wife.
Jim over the years has been a nightclub owner, insurance broker, political consultant, and
investor. When he ran into financial
trouble having triple mortgaged his home, he was bailed out via loans from Joe and Hunter and
by a series of Joe's donors. Jim also received a loan of $500,000
from John Hynansky, a Ukrainian-American businessman and longtime donor to Joe Biden's
campaigns. This all was in 2015, at the same time the then-vice president oversaw U.S. policy
toward the country. As a senator, Joe Biden made use of a private jet owned by Hynansky's
son.
The 12 Foxwood address also appears on millions of dollars worth of bank transfers among
Cathay Bank, CEFC, and multiple semi-anonymous LLCs and hedge funds. One single transfer to
Hudson West III on August 8, 2017, represented the movement of $5 million from Northern Capital
International, which appears to be a
Chinese government-owned import-export front company.
Switch over to the CDB Bank folder and you see a wire transfer from Burisma for 36,000
euros, run through a bank in Cyprus, to Biden's own account on that island. Burisma is the one
company from the laptop that made the news. Hunter's role, what he actually did besides
introduce his father to other people, is still unclear.
Burisma must be an interesting place. Hunter's laptop partially exposes a complex web of
sub-companies in Cyprus and the British Virgin Islands such that figuring out who owns who is
near impossible. Hunter, speaking to his business partner, speculates about buying a Lithuanian
bank to receive the Ukrainian money, and he also notes that Joseph Cofer Black , former director
of the CIA's Counterterrorism Center, sits on Burisma's board. Black previously served as vice
chairman at mercenary provider Blackwater Worldwide (now Academi).
All just business, right? Not everyone saw it that way. An email from Wells Fargo's
corporate compliance team (Wells Fargo handled many of the international wire transfers) asks
on September 20, 2018, what the actual business of Hudson West is, who its owners are, and
where it is located. Also asked is what the purpose of all the incoming wires is. It notes some
business accounts appear to be for personal expenses. It also questions numerous outgoing wires
to the Lion Hall Group (for example, on September 28, 2018, Hunter ordered $95,000 transferred
without explanation), a "business" run by Jim Biden out of a residential address. Jim regularly
invoiced Hunter for office expenses and employee costs, as well as a monthly retainer cost of
some $68,000, plus other fees in the tens of thousands of dollars.
There is no record of these questions being answered. It is possible to see the disbursal of
funds via credit card to Jim Biden as a way to diffuse the amounts away from Hunter, and via
Jim's invoices, a way to convert income from China into deductible business expenses for Hunter
in America, reducing his tax burden. The involvement of Lion Hall and Jim Biden also spreads
the money around, lowering its profile. If the invoices were shown to be fraudulent (i.e., Jim
did not actually consult for Hunter), the potential for tax fraud exists.
Besides Wells Fargo, others also had questions. Hunter's own CPA, preparing to file 2018
federal taxes, wrote to Hunter asking, "As far as Owasco [Hunter's law firm] is concerned there
were some receipts we classified as loans. Owasco received approximately $550,000 from Burisma
and paid about one half this amount to, I believe, someone named 'Devon.' I am not sure of the
payee The one half payment to 'Devon' was not recorded as income."
Devon is likely Devon Archer , co-founder and managing partner
of Rosemont Capital alongside Hunter. Who else was part of Rosemont? Christopher
Heinz , John Kerry's son. And, small world, Devon Archer sat on the board of Burisma
alongside
Hunter Biden. The CPA's concern is that the IRS is sensitive to the fact that some try to
conceal income as loans to be written off as expenses later, especially if the amounts are
large. This can trigger an audit. If the loans are "forgiven," then they are income. If not
declared, that is potential fraud.
The same note from the CPA indicates Hunter owes $600,000 in personal taxes and another
$204,000 for Owasco and urges him to file a return even if he is not going to pay the taxes.
Besides taxes, things did not always go well for Hunter. On March 6, 2019, he sent an email to
a friend saying, "Buddy do you have a cash app to send me $100 until wire goes. I have no money
for gas and I'm literally stuck at a rest stop on 95." He earlier had sought a $35,000 advance
from his regular "draw" out of Owasco. And keep an eye on Hunter's health -- he pays close to
$9,000 a quarter for life insurance.
Joe Biden is one lucky S.O.B. When the powers that be decided Barack Obama needed someone a
little more, you know, establishment, as his VP to calm voters, there was Joe, as white-bread
as the state he represented, vaulted into the White House that had otherwise eluded him. His
only controversial points came from having supported the status quo for so many years that it
had changed underneath him. Are we tough on crime, or do Black Lives Matter? Didn't matter to
Joe, just point him in the right direction so he knows what to agree with. And so in 2020, when
the Democrats realized exactly what kind of man they needed to wipe away the sins of two
dishonest and chaotic primaries, well, there was Joe again.
Joe was fortunate that the mainstream media memory-holed Hunter's story and conservative
media lost focus looking for a tweetable smoking gun when the truth was a bit too complicated
to parse out in a sentence or two. But there is still a story here.
The short version is there's a lot to suggest money laundering and tax fraud on Hunter's
part. The purpose of the money in and out was always unclear, with invoices for vague expenses
and lots and lots of "consulting." One could invent a legal explanation for everything. One
could imagine many illegal explanations. There is no way anyone could know the difference
without seeing Hunter's taxes, asking him questions, and doing some serious forensic
accounting. It is unlikely any of that will happen now that the election is over. Even to
Guiliani et al., it really doesn't matter any more. They took one shot, missed, and walked
away.
That will leave undigested the bigger tale of president-elect Biden, who ran in part on an
anti-corruption platform following the Trump family escapades. While Joe Biden no doubt regrets
what appears to have been a one-off meeting with the Burisma official, he did indeed take the
meeting as VP. It's always easier to apologize when caught than seek permission in advance in
Joe's world.
A 2017 email chain involving Hunter brokering an ultimately failed deal for a new venture
with old friend CEFC, the Chinese energy company, described a 10 percent set-aside for the "big
guy," whom former Hunter Biden partner Tony Bobulinski publicly identified as Joe Biden
. Joe also took Hunter to China with him on Air Force Two and met with Chinese leaders while
Hunter tried to make deals on his own. Joe also had Hunter and partner Devon Archer to the
White House only two days before they joined Burisma. It was Joe's donors and pals who bailed
out brother Jim over the years with sweetheart loans.
A lot of appearance of improprietous malarkey from a senior statesman who knows better. In
places like China and the Ukraine, where corruption is endemic, it is assumed the sons of rich
and powerful men have access to their father and that access is for sale. Hunter Biden traded
on those assumptions for millions of dollars, and Joe stood by understanding what was
happening. Every father wants to help his son, and Hunter, one can imagine, went to his dad
time after time pleading for just one more little favor to get him clear of his sordid past.
Joe, a decent man at heart, likely nodded. So a meeting. A handshake. An office visit, a posed
photo, whatever would help but was still plausibly deniable. Until the next time. Just one
more, Dad. Please?
Joe's larger role in all things Hunter needs to be questioned. Joe, as well as the Obama
State Department, knew about
Hunter's antics. Joe pretended Hunter's financial windfalls had nothing to do with their
relationship and were simply a constant series of coincidental lucky breaks for a ne'er-do-well
son who happened to fail upward while his dad was VP. Joe says he and his son never talked
about business. Maybe Joe assumed Hunter's Porsche was just a lucky find (his car payments are
on the laptop).
While, of course, Hunter is an adult with his own mind, his father was one of the most
powerful men in the world and yet apparently did nothing to stop what was going on among
Hunter, his brother Jim, the Chinese, the Ukrainians, and himself -- at minimum, the gross
appearance of impropriety over a period of years. Biden's defense has always been sweeping :
"My son did nothing wrong." That alone raises questions of judgment on the part of Joe Biden.
Not least because in a few weeks he becomes president of the United States. And if the
president does it, it's not illegal, right?
Maybe you can offer information that contradicts the assertions and alleged facts in
this article? Please make the effort to enlighten the rest of us. It'll force you to
seriously read the article and learn its contents in order to refute them. If you can't do
that then you haven't the courage to try and support your own assertions. It's hard to face
the possibility that you're wrong, but if you build a case maybe you'll actually change a
few minds here and there. As things stand right now you seem guilty to me of being "just
deluded enough to (not) believe it (the article) because it's what you want to (not)
believe."
That's exactly how I would have felt if Trump's kids had a strong appearance of selling
their father's influence for tens of millions of dollars! And if the Trump kids business
partners turned on them and gave testimony under oath to the FBI about it, and volumes of
documentary evidence supported it!
Nothingburger! I'm sure you and the media would have agreed with how I felt, and
completely ignored Trump corruption before the election. 'Cause that's the fair and
balanced media we all enjoy!
Silly vet. Trump's kids HAVE A STRONG APPEARANCE OF SELLING THEIR FATHER'S
INFLUENCE.
Have you been living under a rock? Why did Ivanka get several Chinese patents AT THE
SAME TIME Daddy was letting a Chinese company off the hook and hosting the Chinese leader
at Mar-A-Lago? Why is Jared Kushner jetting off to ME countries looking for investment
money while an active advisor in the West Wing? Why are Beavis and Butthead (Don Jr and
Eric) looking for foreign properties while Daddy is president?
Trump's children were actively involved in international business concerns long before
Trump ran for office. Hunter Biden is a low-life crack head who never achieved anything
until his daddy was VP. If you can't acknowledge the difference, you are incapable of
reason.
@Joe_Hubris Quite right, we all heard that donkey jr met with the Russians at Trump
Tower. There was ample evidence, before he let it out himself. But that wasn't exactly
conducting business, that was trying to steal an election.
Honest, Ivanka seems rather smart. Of course, Midlle Eastern money into Jared's businesses
will dry up, still, they'll save the furniture.
But, as soon as they are given the chance, Beavis and Butthead will do their best to blow
Trump Inc to smithereens and burn all that remains of it to the ground.
Oh, Hunter was in on the grift long before Joe became VP. He was brought into MBNA's
"Executive Training" program and made a member of the Board of AMTRAC while his daddy was
in the Senate.
I'm awake. Whenever there have been allegations of corruption against Trump's family,
I've tried to track the facts down (same as I've done with Biden, and before either of them
other candidates/Presidents).
There is one difference. My perception of major media the past four years is that with
Democrats, they've worked to minimize the damage on any story harmful to the left (Hunters'
laptop and Tara Reades' allegations of rape being prime examples), while any story
involving Trump they've exaggerated, left important facts out of their coverage, or
outright lied. So I believe that if there was any real corruption involving Trump, the MSM
would have covered it endlessly, just like they did with the bogus allegations of Trump
collaborating with the Russians to steal the election, and many other examples.
I'm not hiding from facts involving Trump family corruption. I just haven't seen
anything supporting it yet. I don't know if Jared Kushner was soliciting investment money
in the ME; that has been rumor and innuendo by his political enemies with no factual basis
so far. Ivanka having a fashion line and protecting it globally seems normal to me (China
is a huge market - bigger than the U.S.). Don Jr. and Eric seem like they're doing the same
things they were doing before DJT sought office, which is managing a normal business.
Everything about Hunter and Joe's brothers' business activities seem incredibly
suspicious to me, on the other hand.
Right! For example, I'm sure that Ivanka Trump got all of those lucrative licensing
deals in China SOLELY because of her amazing financial and business acumen!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Well,cwe know "covid"Joe isn't shy about doing business with them,bright? He said he had
more time with Chinese leaders than any modern president. And, using those chinese
connections,he had a virus made, and crazy Nancy Pelosi helped him spread it on her end of
the country. They used the impeachment, then the antics of the democratic socialists kicked
in, with Nancy calling him fat. And, when he tried to restrict flights from china, they
called him xenophobic and racist. Then distracted him more by inviting people to Chinese
new year! Before the virus, Trump was unstoppable. With ultra low unemployment rates, and
factories going strong, not to mention the legislation"Alzheimer's" Joe got going, causing
at least one man twenty years in prison for stealing a shovel! No one really considered
Biden to be a serious rival to trump then once they got the virus going, they used the
lowering of the presidents ratings and the virtual emptying of every other candidates, plus
the virus allowed them to get that mail in voting going, which is easier to tamper with
than electronic voting machines. Did you notice,with all the super sick people,we had the
highest turnout in history? Before you say it can't be true, another nugget to chew:right
before the election, about 90% of the bad things"Dirty" Joe did just know kinda "vanished
from social media!! We all know, if it shows up there, it never goes away, right? Wrong
when the democratic socialists control them...so in honoring Joe's greatest accomplishment,
I give to you....the JOVID virus...it's kinda...catchy, eh?but we need to shout out loud,
so he can hear, that everyone knows what he did last year! JOVID! JOVID! Put your hands in
the air like you just don't care and, with half the country hating this Biden clown we
should be as loud as Metallica in a phone booth!! Don't let them get away with it!!!!
Unlike Joe Biden's grifting clan, Trump's offspring had successful enterprises well
before their father entered into politics. And yes, in China and a number of international
countries also. Like their father, and unlike the Biden's, the Trump family didn't strike
it rich from political office. In fact, President Trump donated his entire presidential
salary of $400k/yr to charities all four years. Imagine Joe Biden doing that.
It is a sad state we find ourselves in today. Democrats whine about "white privilege"
against people who had nothing to do with slavery and in fact lost ancestors fighting it.
Meanwhile in a more real and present instance of privilege at the expense of other humans,
current vaccinations against Covid19 were developed using cell lines derived from aborted
human children. To my knowledge not a single vaccine is being offered that does not rest on
this heinous recipe.
By now, most people know that Leon Black has stepped down as CEO of Apollo Global Management
after ties to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, including paying the late Epstein $158 million for
"tax advice". We documented the details of Black's departure in
this piece , out earlier this week.
Now the question becomes: how deep does the rabbit hole continue to go?
Edwin Dorsey, founder of The
Bear Cave newsletter , posted an epic Tweet thread (you can follow Dorsey here ) back in December 2020 that - if
accurate - shows that more Epstein-related bombs could soon be going off.
"John J. Hannan, Apollo's cofounder and senior partner, donated $166k to Epstein in 1999.
Hannan also replaced Epstein on the Black Foundation Board in 2013," he notes.
Dorsey concludes: "If Harry Beller, Epstein's longtime notary/accountant, worked closely
with Black, Rowan, or Hannan this would take the story to a whole new level. My guess is there
is much more that has not been reported yet."
But thanks to Dorsey's digging, there may very well be more on the way.
Recall, the announcement of Black's departure came as Apollo revealed the conclusion of a
review by law firm Dechert into Black's relationship with Epstein, which reportedly "cleared"
Black and Apollo of any "involvement in criminal activities" with Epstein.
"I have advised the Apollo board that I will retire as C.E.O. on or before my 70th birthday
in July and remain as chairman, " Black said in a statement.
Over the past year and a half, Apollo CEO and founder Leon Black had been caught in a web of
allegations that he was "too close" to Epstein after it emerged Black had paid Epstein $158
million after he was released from jail.
And while Black published a letter in which he admitted that "it was a terrible mistake" to
associated with Epstein and "like many people I respected, I decided to give Epstein a second
chance," Black said last October, it wasn't nearly enough as some asset managers froze their
new capital allocations to Apollo. It eventually prompted Apollo to hire Dechert to conduct an
"independent review" of Black's dealings with Epstein to clear Black's - and Apollo's -
name.
Among the key findings of the Dechert report:
Apollo never retained Epstein for any services and Epstein never invested in any
Apollo-managed funds
Dechert found no evidence that Black was involved in any way with Epstein's criminal
activities at any time
Black "believed, and witnesses generally agreed, that Epstein provided advice that conferred
more than $1 billion and as much as $2 billion or more" in tax savings, the report states,
which - needless to say - is ridiculous for a person who was already surrounded by the biggest
tax experts on earth who also happened to be Black's employees. 11,410 33 NEVE

This is awesome, he nails the dilemma which our owners are confronted with;
I'll put it this way: It is not as though the American ruling class is intelligent,
competent, and patriotic on most important matters and happens to have a glaring blind spot
when it comes to appreciating the threat of China. If this were the case, it would make
sense to emphasize the threat of China above all else.
But this is not the case. The American ruling class has failed on pretty much every
issue of significance for the past several decades. If China were to disappear, they would
simply be selling out the country to India, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, or some other country
(in fact they are doing this just to a lesser extent).
Our ruling class has failed us on China because they have failed us on everything. For
this reason I believe that there will be no serious, sound policy on China that benefits
Americans until there is a legitimate ruling class in the United States. For this reason
pointing fingers at the wickedness and danger of China is less useful than emphasizing the
failure of the American ruling class. The bottom line is the true enemies of the
American people are no foreign nation or adversary---the true enemy of the American people
are the people who control America.
This way of thinking points to a dilemma for the American ruling class. Contrary to
a lot of the rhetoric you hear, much of the American ruling class, including the "deep
state" is actually quite anti-China. To fully account for this would take longer than I
have here. But the nutshell intuitive explanation is that the ruling class, particularly
Wall Street, was happy for the past several decades to enrich both themselves and China by

@102 karlof1 - "By deliberately setting policy to inflate asset prices, the Fed has
priced US labor out of a job, while as you report employers sought labor costs that allowed
them to remain competitive."
I never heard it said so succinctly and truly as this before. That is what happened isn't
it? The worker can't afford life anymore, in this country.
And if the worker can't afford the cost of living - who bears the cause of this, how
follows the remedy of this, and what then comes next?
I really appreciate your point of view, which is the only point of view, which is that the
designers of the economy, the governors of the economy, have placed the workers of the
economy in a position that is simply just not tenable.
No wonder they strive to divide in order to rule - because they have over-reached through
greed and killed the worker, who holds up the society.
How long can the worker flounder around blaming others before the spotlight must turn on
the employer?
You have to remember these people really do think they are better. They do think in class
terms even if they avoid that rhetoric in public. The problem is they thought they could
control China like they did Japan. That was dumb then and it looks even dumber now. You can
see similar dumbness in their lack of grip on any realisitic view of Russia. Provincials
really. Rich peasants.
Thank you, they certainly DO think in class terms ALWAYS. + Rich peasants is perfect
:))
Thankfully they are blinded by hubris at the same time. The USA destroyed the Allende
government in Chile in 1973. After the Nixon Kissinger visit to China in 1979 they assumed
they could just pull a color revolution stunt when they deemed it to be the right time.
Perhaps in their hubris they thought every Chinese worker would be infatuated with capitalism
and growth.
They tested that out in the People Power colour (yellow) revolt in the Filipines in 1986
following a rigged election by Marcos. In 1989 only 16 years after China had been buoyed up
with growth and development following the opening to USA capitalism, they tried out the same
trick in Tienanmen square in China but those students were up against the ruling party of the
entire nation - not the ruling class. BIG MISTAKE. The ruling party of China was solidly
backed by the peasant and working class that was finally enjoying some meager prosperity and
reward a mere 40 years after the Chinese Communist Party and their parents and grandparents
had liberated China from 100 years of occupation, plunder, human and cultural rapine and
colonial insult. Then in 2020 it was tried on again in Hong Kong. FAIL.
The hubris of the ruling class and its running dogs is pathetic.
We see the same with Pelosi and the ruling class in the Dimoratss today. They push Biden
Harris to the fore, piss on the left and refuse to even hold a vote on Medicare for All in
the middle of a pandemic. Meanwhile the USAi ruling class has its running dogs and hangers on
bleating that "its wrong tactic, its premature, its whatever craven excuse to avoid exposing
the ruling class for what they are - thieves, bereft of compassion, absent any sense of
social justice, fakes lurking behind their class supposition.
They come here to the bar with their arrogant hubris, brimming with pointless information
some even with emoji glitter stuck on their noses. Not a marxist or even a leftie among them.
Still its class that matters and its the ruling class that we must break.

That viewpoint indeed explains method of operation to accomplish the results I observed.
When Nixon was forced to default on Bretton Woods use of Gold Exchange Standard* [the USD is
as good as gold], then printing fiat solved the problem [threat to US inventory of
gold]....but printing fiat [no longer redeemable as a promise convert to gold] became the new
problem [no way to extinguish the promises to redeem/pay].
So how to proceed? Aha! Steal from the workers; squeeze 'em, entertain and dazzle 'em!..
Such an elegant solution...slow, certain and hardly noticeable...like slow-boiling frogs...an
on-going project as we blog.
Prince Andrew's chief
accuser was a prostitute who lied about her age and was paid "half a million" by disgraced
businessman Jeffrey Epstein, new court papers allege, according to the Telegraph.
Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who is now an advocate for victims of sex trafficking, has claimed
she had sex with the royal at least three times in 2001, when she was 17.
Giuffre claims this happened after she met with American financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was
charged with procuring underage and young women for powerful clients, together with his close
associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
According to the
report , Sharon Churcher, the journalist who first revealed that Giuffre was among
Epstein's victims, told New York publisher Tony Lyons that Giuffre lied about her age when she
met Epstein.
"She took a year off [her age]. Apparently she was 16, not 15, when she was recruited [by
Epstein]. But she'd been on the game for about a year then. Epstein's women were – he
basically had prostitutes," the paper quoted Churcher as saying about Giuffre, citing a
transcript of her conversation with Lyons.
Churcher was quoted as saying that Giuffre was "suing everybody," including Epstein's
lawyer, Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz. "The idea is that he will then pay her off. This
really is blackmail," she said, adding that Giuffre would "just move on to other
people" and that Epstein had "paid her off."
"She had settled with Epstein. She'd taken half a million, I think it was."
The journalist also reportedly suggested that Giuffre may have produced fake emails that
were later presented as having been written by Churcher.
In a comment to the Telegraph, Giuffre's lawyer, Chuck Cooper, said: "We are looking
forward to taking Ms. Churcher's deposition under oath."
Prince Andrew has denied ever having sex with Giuffre. He admitted to having been friends
with Epstein but claimed he had no idea at the time that the businessman was involved in sex
trafficking. In 2001, the prince was photographed wrapping his hand around Giuffre's waist in
Maxwell's London apartment.
Epstein was found dead in August 2019 inside a prison cell in New York, where he was
awaiting trial. Maxwell was arrested in July and charged with helping Epstein to procure
underage girls for sex trafficking.

Bill Clinton's former top aide and
Chelsea Clinton nemesis Doug Band has told
Vanity Fair that former
President Bill Clinton did visit Jeffrey Epstein's infamous "pedo island" in January 2003, and that he was unable to push Epstein
out of Clinton's orbit since they flew to Africa together in 2002 aboard the the pedophile's (Epstein's) private 727, dubbed the
"Lolita Express."
Band said he had no idea about Epstein's sex crimes back then but got enough bad vibes that he advised Clinton to end the relationship. But Clinton continued to socialize with Epstein and take his money. In 2006 Epstein donated $25,000 to the Clinton Foundation.
Clinton made more than two dozen trips on Epstein's jet around this time, Epstein's flight logs show. In January 2003, according
to Band, Clinton visited Epstein's private Caribbean island, Little St. James. Band said it was one of the few trips he declined
to go on in his time with Clinton. -
Vanity Fair
Band - who revealed the Clinton Foundation's
'for-profit' activity and accused Chelsea Clinton of tapping Foundation funds to
pay for her wedding (known only because of WikiLeaks) - also says Chelsea Clinton had a relationship with Epstein and his alleged
co-conspirator in an underage sex trafficking ring, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Chelsea had ties to Epstein and Maxwell, Band said; he showed me a photo of Bill and Chelsea posing with Epstein and Maxwell
at the King of Morocco's wedding. Chelsea remained friends with Maxwell for years after the press revealed Maxwell was a close
associate of Epstein's. For instance, Chelsea invited Maxwell to her 2010 wedding at the Brooke Astor estate in Rhinebeck, New
York, after Epstein had pleaded guilty in Florida to procuring sex from a minor. -

"Ghislaine had access to yachts and nice homes. Chelsea needed that ," said Band.
Band notably created the
now-defunct
Clinton Global Initiative, which has helped to raise $74 billion for Clinton global charities, according to
Newsmax . Thanks again
to WikiLeaks, we also know that Band was
soliciting donations for Clinton through his PR and investment firm, Teneo in an sordid example of "pay for play" which most
of the mainstream media refused to cover - which he worried about in an email to John Podesta, saying: "
If this
story gets out, we are screwed ."
In response to Band's claims about Chelsea, a family spokesperson said that " Chelsea was on friendly terms with Maxwell because
of a mutual friend (Gateway computer founder Ted Waitt) and only took one yacht trip with Maxwell in 2009: "It wasn't until 2015
that Chelsea became aware of the horrific allegations against Ghislaine Maxwell and she hopes that all the victims find justice."
In 2011, Band says he instructed Bill Clinton's staffers to ban Maxwell 'from all Clintonworld events' to try and drive a wedge
between Chelsea and Ghislaine .
"I knew in telling everyone to stop including Ghislaine that Chelsea and her father would be very angry. It made it harder for
them to justify being close to her," said Band.
Ghislaine Maxwell was a voracious photographer who "constantly" snapped photos of topless
girls at Jeffrey Epstein's mansion and kept the pictures in an album, according to freshly
released court documents.
A former butler at Epstein's Florida home told lawyers that Maxwell was an "avid"
photographer who routinely took photos of scantily clad girls with a "special
camera".
Most of the images were taken poolside and were of "topless" young women, which
Maxwell would later store in an album she kept on her desk, according to former employee John
Alessi.
"She was very avid with photographs," Alessi said in federal court papers unsealed on
Saturday. "She had this high-tech camera. She was constantly taking photographs."
Alessi said most of the girls were European and some were American.
British socialite Maxwell is in a New York jail awaiting trial on multiple counts of
procuring girls as young as 14 for Epstein to abuse, and of allegedly abusing some of the girls
herself. The 58-year-old has denied all the charges she faces.
Alessi's statements to lawyers were made in June 2016 and were unsealed by a judge on
Saturday. They relate to a settled defamation case between Maxwell and Virginia Roberts
Giuffre, who claims she was coerced into having sex with Prince Andrew from the British royal
family.
The FBI wants to interview Prince Andrew but he has denied all claims of wrongdoing. A
lawyer representing Epstein's victims branded it "outrageous" that a year has passed
since the queen of England's second-eldest son publicly promised to cooperate with the US
authorities.
Lisa Bloom called on the royal to submit to an interview with the FBI, saying "it is
never too late to do the right thing."
Disgraced businessman Epstein was found dead in a New York jail in August 2019 while
awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. His death was officially ruled a suicide,
and intense speculation has surrounded the circumstances.

Even Maxwell is still a fall guy for the many people who used Epstein's services. People like
Alan Dershowitz (who benefitted from the deal he made Epstein MORE than Epstein did) and well
known politicians who are said to include a British Prime Minister (they don't actually say
it's Blair) and other well known US Clintons called Bill. There had been no appetite under
Obama to pursue this and as Biden is about to take the reins I'm sure that this will not be
pressed as hard as it should be. I still think Maxwell will be convicted, but it will be left
there, as though she obtained the girls purely for Epstein to abuse and not any of the
hundreds of others who have walked away due to Dershowitz's deal. Enough money and you have
the power to buy your way out of anything..

I'm sure trump loved them! He, like many celebrities and politicians, was good friends with
epstein. In 2009, when an employee leaked epstein's personal address book it showed multiple
phone numbers for trump and his wife. Additionally, was uncovered that he left two phone
messages for epstein in November 2004 on a message pad obtained by investigators from
epstein's home. Republicans and democrats alike were and still are involved shows how broken
the system is

Female pedophiles are very,very common but mostly they fly under the radar.
On Trumps friend: Many among the USAi elite have been maliciously trapped by the
Wexner/Epstein/Maxwell foreign agent team. Les Wexner - not yet arrested for his role - was
Epsteins mentor and is chairman of L Brands, which owns retailers including Victoria's
Secret. There are allegations circling of the use of Wexners air services company to import
children from eastern europe.
Wexner purchased the New York mansion for $13M and appears to have gifted it to Epstein
fully wired for sound and video. The New York mansion is currently valued at over $80M. The
New York Times reports the property was formally transferred in 2011 from a trust controlled
by Wexner & Epstein to a Virgin Islands-based entity controlled by Epstein.
These three people Wexner/Epstein/Maxwell worked as a team - that is clear from all the
photographs and their associations let alone the testimonies and evidence.
The entrapment of the elite is either direct through child prostitution entrapment or by
association as more and more images are revealed of the elite set joyfully seeking to be
photographed alongside the Wexner/Epstein/Maxwell gliterati. Maxwell managed a stable of
photographers and journalists to get their happy snaps in leading New York mags. Take a
lesson in all of this from Whitney
Webb at Unlimited hangout. So Trump and his over-hyped ego could not possible have
resisted the joint photographs but they prove NOTHING other than pathetic gullibility. (If
you can bear to analyse it go to Amazing Polly on utoob as she has mapped the journalists and
the web of entrapment that Maxwell used to manage them. beware AP is a Qanon mouthpiece so
you will suffer some.)
The same goes for a vast tranche of the USA elite -guilty by association! That has them
all neatly neutered and controllable ;)
On your last point. I don't see how you arrived at that conclusion. I read b's general

Exclusive: How The Bidens Made Off With Millions In Chinese Cash
New
documents show that as regulators closed in, Hunter struck a fresh deal with his Chinese partners

Award Ceremony at Organization of American States on April 12, 2016 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Paul Morigi/Getty Images for

The Senate's
report
on
Hunter Biden's activities released several months ago, which was
spun
by
the New York Times as having shown "no evidence of wrongdoing," nevertheless had several important gaps in the business
activities of the troubled son of the former vice president.
Draft legal documents and 2017 bank records obtained by The American Conservative show at least $5 million was transferred to
Hunter and Jim Biden from companies associated with the Chinese conglomerate CEFC, with millions coming after the company had
come under legal scrutiny both in the United States and China.
CEFC official Patrick Ho was arrested in November 2017 and charged by the Southern District of New York with corruption, and
was convicted last year. In addition, on or about March 1, 2018, CEFC Chairmen Ye Jianming was arrested in China for economic
crimes and hasn't been seen since. CEFC assets in China were seized by Chinese state agencies. In the U.S., major
beneficiaries were Hunter and Jim Biden.
What the following documents show is that as regulators moved to seize CEFC's assets, Hunter Biden attempted to take control
of the company founded in partnership with it. Instead, after striking a deal with two CEFC employees in the U.S., the funds
were disbursed over the next six months to his and his uncle's companies until it was all gone, in total at least $5 million.
2017 Bank Records
On August 5, 2017, the Bidens and CEFC entered into a 50-50 limited liability company agreement (Hudson West III) between
Owasco, Hunter Biden's company, and Hudson West V (CEFC). The Sep 22, 2020 report from the Senate Judiciary Committee (the
"HGSAC Report") surmised an agreement like this, but a copy can be seen, for the first time
here
.
In early 2017, CEFC was ranked as one of the top 500 corporations in the world.
Hudson West III set up two bank accounts with Cathay Bank, with the first set up on or about August 5.
A
company associated with CEFC deposited $5 million into the account on August 8; no contribution was made by the Bidens.
On
Nov 2, 2017, CEFC Limited deposited a further $1 million into the account. (Subsequently, the Hudson West III account shows a
wire of $1 million back to CEFC Limited on Nov 21, followed a few days later on Nov 27 by a credit memo for $999,938. The
HGSAC Report interpreted the Nov 21 wire transfer as a return of the $1 million, but appear to have omitted consideration of
the credit memo apparently reversing the return).
The
net result is that CEFC and its affiliates deposited almost exactly $6 million into Hudson West III in 2017.
In the 5 months between August 8 and Dec 31, 2017, Hudson West III disbursed almost $1.6 million to Owasco (Hunter Biden) in
wire transfers and credit card binges by the Bidens. The transfers appear to have been structured as $165,000 in monthly
payments, plus two other payments of $400,000 and $220,387.
Collated
screengrabs from Hudson West III bank statements showing payments to Owasco (Wells Fargo Clearing Services LLC)
The HGSAC Report reported on the $99,000 credit card spree by the Bidens in early September 2017, but, in addition to that
spree, there was an additional $77,700 in credit card sprees, making a total of $176,700 for the five month period.
Figure
2. Screengrab from Hudson West III bank statements showing credit card disbursements
Total expenditures by Hudson West III in the five months were $1,947,439, of which $1,522,000 went to the Bidens (via Owasco
and credit cards).
Hudson
West III bank accounts contained more than $4 million in cash at the end of 2017.
March 2018 Deal
Shortly after the arrest of CEFC Chairman Ye Jianming on March 1, 2018, there appears to have been a rolling seizure of CEFC
assets. Even with the profligate spending by the Bidens, Hudson West III would still have had about $3.5 million in cash in
March.
On March 26, a Chinese-American employee who was fiercely loyal to Hunter suggested to him that Hunter and the two CEFC
employees in the U.S. (Mervyn Yan and Kevin Dong) figure out a way to appropriate the Hudson West III cash before it was
frozen by Chinese regulators or receivers:
you guys (You/Mervyn/Kevin)
figure out a way to have the money transferred to the right U.S. account before any restriction levied by Chinese
regulators or appointed new boss in charge of manage the enterprise Ye left behind.
In fact, Hunter had already begun the process of appropriating Hudson West III cash before a receiver could arrive. On March
18, Hunter's lawyer sent a letter to Mervyn Yan proposing that Hudson West V (the proximate CEFC entity) assign its interest
in Hudson West III to Owasco (Hunter), a transaction which would give control of all the cash to Hunter (see
here
,
and
here
).
On or about March 30, 2018, Hunter and the two Chinese appear to have worked out a different arrangement. Among the newly
available documents are redlined versions of an assignment agreement in which Hudson West V assigned its 50% interest in
Hudson West III to Coldharbour Capital Inc., with Kevin Dong the proposed signatory for Hudson West V, Mervyn Yan for
Coldharbour Capital and Hunter signatory for Owasco's consent to the assignment.
The HGSAC Report does not appear to have had access to these documents: they noted that ownership of Hudson West III at some
point was 50% Coldharbour, but does not appear to have been aware of the prior ownership of this interest by Hudson West V or
the assignment to Coldharbour in late March 2018.
During the next six months, the cash was completely drained into the accounts of Owasco and Coldharbour, spent on consulting
fees and expenses. According to the HGSAC Report, total payments from Hudson West III to Owasco amount to an astonishing
$4,790,375 by September 2018, when the Hudson West III accounts were totally depleted. In November 2018, Hudson West III was
dissolved by Owasco and Coldharbour.
From the 2017 bank records, we know that $1,444,000 had been transferred to Owasco in 2017 (excluding direct payment of credit
card sprees); thus, transfers to Owasco in the first eight months of 2018 were approximately $3,345,000.
The assignment of Hudson West V's interest in Hudson West III to Coldharbour and the dissipation of cash to the Hudson West
III managers would probably not have stood up to a determined receiver appointed by the Chinese parent company, but there
doesn't appear to have been any attempt by the parent company to stop or control the dissipation of Hudson West III's cash
reserves.
Lion Hall (Jim Biden)
Invoices
Included in the newly available material are invoices to Owasco and, separately, to Hudson West III from Jim Biden doing
business as Lion Hall Group. The HGSAC Report stated that, between Aug 14, 2017 and Aug 3, 2018, Owasco sent 20 wires totaling
$1,398,999 to Lion Hall Group. The newly available documents show that Jim Biden charged Owasco $82,500 per month as a
"monthly retainer for international business development":
Readers will recall that Hudson West III bank statements showed regular monthly payments of $165,000 for the last 5 months of
2017. The corollary is that Hunter split this regular monthly payment from Hudson West III 50:50 with Jim Biden. The HGSAC
Report notes that the payments to Lion Hall Group had been flagged by Owasco's bank (Wells Fargo) for potential criminal
activity. The new documents contain an inquiry email from Wells Fargo compliance, together with a reply from Hunter which was
unresponsive on the key compliance questions. By the time that Wells Fargo raised its compliance concerns, the Hudson West III
cash had been exhausted and with it, presumably the stream of 50-50 payments to Uncle Jim.
As noted above, in addition to the regular $165,000 monthly payments, Owasco received other large transfers in 2017 and
presumably in 2018. It is not known whether Uncle Jim split these 50-50 as well, or whether this was a side transaction by
Hunter.
Concurrent with this flood of
money from CEFC, Hunter continued to receive a lavish stipend from Burisma. Nonetheless, by the end of 2018, Hunter had
hundreds of thousands in tax liens. In March 2019, despite having received millions from Chinese business interests, Hunter
even had to plead with former partner Jeffrey Cooper to email him $100 for gas so that he wouldn't be stranded on the highway.

Not by the Conservative press. But certainly by the Liberal press. I was born in a country
where all the news sources were owned by one of the political parties. Now I live in a
country where we have the
de facto
situation. In
America we are very good at setting the standard as the
de
jure
state of affairs, while ignoring the
de facto
state
of affairs. Every country has its share of hypocrisy. But there are few places, if any, where
it is institutionalized as America. We need to do much better. Despite what the Conservatives
say, the Liberal press used to try to do journalism. But they have given up.
I'm old enough to remember when CNN was a pretty middle of the road news organization.
But Fox came along and proved that naked partisanship, half-truths, innuendo, and
brightening up the hate centers of the brain was a far more profitable way of doing
business. CNN just had to compete.
We do have the Fox "News" Network (Most watched cable news channel, or so the
continually brag, and with TV/cable being where most Americans get their news from that
makes them a pretty big player) and One America "News" Network. Ad in the Sinclair
Broadcasting Network--they have no problem sending out canned od-eds supporting Trump
so they should have no ideological objection to pursuing this story. Perhaps they could
do some investigating and reporting instead of filling their airtime with
unsubstantiated accusations made by others that they take at face value.
Not to mention there are some print sources--The Washington Times, the NY Post, the
Orange County Register, Des Moines Register, etc.
Right? Between Fox News, the Murdoch owned papers, Breitbart, the Daiky
Caller/Wire, and Sinclair, the idea that right isn't represented in the media is
frankly insane. Even Q Anon has a better reach in Facebook than the NYT and they
are a pure distillation of conservatism.
"There is no conservative media" is an idea about as tethered to reality as
conservative media is in general.
This is news. Hunter Biden is most likely a crook. And a well-known watchdog group has just filed a
12-page complaint with DOJ requesting an investigation. Also check out this TV appearance on
Newsmax.
Hunter Biden is most likely a crook. But what a person "most likely is" is not news. I used
to watch Newsmax because it is good to hear about stories that the liberal press doesn't
cover. And it is good to get varying perspectives on news events even if the liberal press
covers them. But I can't take tv news any more. They are all mostly useless for people like
me who detest both political parties. I watch only Newsy. You should try if you are really
interested in news.
"watchdog group" you say? And that is supposed to me make me think that there is a difference
between that and the Republican Party? The liberals pioneered that trick. Now everyone uses
it. That is, name (effectively) an arm of the Democratic Party a "watchdog" and that is
supposed to give it credibility. But the trick is subject to our First Law of Politics.
Whatever tactic one party deploys, as long as it is successful, the other party will deploy
it. No matter how much they denounced it previously. At best, they will rename it. But
usually, they don't bother.
In any case, unless this "watchdog group" is alleging a crime there is no basis for a DOJ
investigation. What is the criminal accusation?
I'm not gonna lie, I didn't even waste my time reading this piece. Arthur seems to have all of a
sudden become interested in corruption (which likely didn't even happen) in a way he expressed no
interest in for the last 4 years. Forgive me if I don't vote him as an honest broker.
It's just so weak. This isn't an October surprise -- this is like a turkey surprise casserole
served two weeks after Thanksgiving. Even if this were a game-changing piece of reporting, it
seems a dubious tactic to release it on the morning of the election on a website that
probably gets less views than some random 16 year old dancing on Tik-Tok.
TAC's pivot over the last couple years into Brietbart territory is embarrassing. A lot of rightwing
media and personalities held out for awhile on Trump, but eventually saw where the wind was blowing
and jumped in the deep end. I hope no one on the principled right or left ever lets them forget it.
No shelter for scoundrels....
Thanks for publishing this. I hope more such pieces appear here in the next few weeks. TAC's regular
readers from the Left don't like it. Good. Rub their noses in it.
I was mentioning Hunter Biden and his Ukraine dealings back in 2014 but I don't have a public forum
outside email and social media and no one thought it of interest till his dad was running for
president against a man who by many accounts has been a crook his entire adult life, and proud of
it.
So Hunter failed to register as a foreign agent. Isn't that what Mike Flynn got busted for
along with some other Trump campaign officials? And hasn't Trump demanded his people all be
forgiven for their transgressions cause it wasn't really a bad thing?
Out of curiosity, among the hundreds if not thousands of websites you could be reading right now,
apart from thousands of decent monographs and works of fiction, why are you spending time this
morning at this "nutjob site," going so far as to login to the comments section to express to the
other presumably "nut job" readers that you're better than them?
This speaks VOLUMES about your worth as a human being. When you wake up around 3 AM over the next
few nights, it'll hit you. Let it sink in. Let it marinate. From such truths character is built.
It's pretty extreme. TAC comment section has become unusable bickering and taunts even after
blocking half the content. I don't know what they are hoping to accomplish other than
confirming our worst guesses about their character.
Exclusive? Of course! No one in their right mind would print it. And the enemy of the state-fake news
outlets are all looking for scoops and looking to win major awards and prizes for breaking a
story-----and for some reason all of these thousands of journalists did not get this "exclusive."
all unproved nonsense.Where is the indictment, when, after all Trump and Barr woprk hand in hand...simply
BS stuff to support Trump. Should Trump lose, watch the legal stuff that he will confront. Now worry
about that
When did this site turn into The Tucker Carlson show ? Please return to the thoughtful conservative
thought that you are know for. Sign of the times I guess and how internet culture can demean us all.
It's the same delusion they engaged in with Trump. They overweight the feelings of their in
group and underweight the population as a whole. Tucker doesn't actually have many viewers in
the scheme of winning a national election. He couldn't appeal to moderates.
An email from the famous hard drive indicates a Chinese state-owned company wanted an
introduction from Rosemont Seneca Hunter Biden, from ABC News Nightline one year ago (
Source )
Back in March, I wrote a
column in these pages about the Chinese business entanglements of major media companies in
the U.S. By far the most seriously entangled is Comcast, the owner of NBCUniversal, parent
company of NBC and MSNBC, which is in the process of opening a Universal Studios theme park in
Beijing.
Portions of Hunter Biden's hard drive have now been shared with TAC. On the drive is an
email from president of Rosemont Seneca Eric Schwerin, a company co-founded by Hunter and John
Kerry's stepson, saying that Chinese state-owned enterprise CITIC was hoping they would make
introductions with Universal employees and propose the Beijing theme park.
"They'd like an introduction to Universal (Comcast) as they'd like to open a Universal
Studios China theme park outside of Beijing," Schwerin writes. "As I said, that one should be
easy via Melissa Mayfield/David Cohen [two Comcast executives]."
"She said they'd like to pay us for our help on these -- I told her we'd discuss whether we
could do that -- but were sure we could figure something out even if it was success fee based
on the US side but that I would talk to you," Schwerin added.
To what extent this was followed up on is at this point unclear. However, what it indicates
is that a company founded by two Democratic political scions was willing to facilitate a deal
for their friendliest media network, a network that has been unrelentingly hostile to Trump and
more or less completely ignored recent Hunter Biden disclosures. If Hunter helped facilitate a
sweet deal like this, it's only fair that they scratch his back too.

Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop contained a 'treasure trove of top-secret material,
including his father's private emails and mobile phone numbers,' and was protected by the
password "Hunter02", according to the
Daily Mail .
The younger Biden's MacBook Pro was full of 'classic blackmail material' between
compromising sexual material and the private information of not only the Bidens, but also Bill
and Hillary Clinton.
Hunter's passport, driver's license, social security and credit card numbers were also on
the laptop, which revealed that he spent $21,000 on a 'live cam' porn website (while claiming
he was too broke to pay his stripper baby-mama child support?).
Via the Mail :
The material, none of which was encrypted or protected by anything as basic as two-factor
authentication, includes:
Joe Biden's personal mobile number and three private email addresses as well as the
names of his Secret Service agents;
Mobile numbers for former President Bill Clinton, his wife Hillary and almost every
member of former President Barack Obama's cabinet;
A contact database of 1,500 people including actress Gwyneth Paltrow, Coldplay singer
Chris Martin, former Presidential candidate John Kerry and ex-FBI boss Louis Freeh;
Personal documents including Hunter's passport, driver's licence, social security card,
credit cards and bank statements;
Details of Hunter's drug and sex problems, including $21,000 spent on one 'live cam'
porn website and 'selfies' of him engaging in sex acts and smoking crack cocaine;
The article does not that while Hunter may have used his family name to boost deals with
Chinese and Ukrainian firms, there is nothing implicating Joe Biden in any wrongdoing (just a
massive like that he 'never spoke with Hunter' about his business dealings).
"'It's a data breach and dangerous to have this type of material floating around," one
former police commander told the Mail . "For someone prominent, there is not only a risk of
great reputational damage but also a risk of blackmail should the material fall into the wrong
hand s."
Hunter's laptop was filled with 11 gigabytes of material covering the period from when his

Too many people succumb to the psychological warfare that has been raging against us for 5

that overcomes all logic and reason. It is HATE. Today it is called by the gentle name of

They have power, they are corrupt, but such things are not absolute. Which is why people
are made examples of in law (pour encourager les autres ), but enforcement is minimal. Number
of Federal employees 2 million, population 330 million, number of FBI employees 35,000 of
which we can say only a 3rd will be available some are office staff, sick and others have
long term commitments. So these riots would have meant FBI would have been deployed even if
not used etc or would have been at the Mexican border since the wall closing has allowed a
much tougher border regime.

Certainly more likely than anyone with the last name Biden getting in trouble. MSM has
already declared that there is no evidence that Joe had any involvement in Hunter's business
deals, which is demonstrably false. There's the "Big Guy" emails; there's the fact that these
foreign entities kept paying Hunter millions for his "name," and they would not have
continued to do so if they were getting nothing in return; there's the fact that Bobulinksi
has proof that Joe attended meeting with Hunter's employers; and that's just scratching the
surface with what we know now.

Crack is not purified, it is just changed to a base form which lowers it melting point
allowing someone to smoke it, hence the term free base. Smoking allows for a faster uptake
into the body giving more or a rush. The only way you can get the same rush with coke is to
shoot it up. The closest you could come your statement of it being true is to perform an
acid/base extraction by turning it into crack and then filtering contaminants and then using
an acid to drop the carbon back off and returning it to cocaine.

Note that the FBI investigation into Hunter is for "money laundering," as opposed to
anything involving public corruption or influence peddling. That tells me that they are
carefully avoiding anything that would involve Joe. And we all know that a year or two from
now or whenever this story settles down, there will be a page 8 newspaper article about how
the FBI found insufficient evidence of any criminal activity by Hunter to justify
charges.
They keep using the same script, and it always ends in a twist ending involving anyone
you've ever heard of doing nothing wrong other than "poor judgment."

"9). Treachery: The deepest circle of Hell, where Satan resides. As with the last two
circles, this one is further divided, into four rounds. The first is Caina, named after the
biblical Cain, who murdered his brother. This round is for traitors to family. The second,
Antenora -- from Antenor of Troy, who betrayed the Greeks -- is reserved for
political/national traitors. The third is Ptolomaea for Ptolemy, son of Abubus, who is known
for inviting Simon Maccabaeus and his sons to dinner and then murdering them. This round is
for hosts who betray their guests; they are punished more harshly because of the belief that
having guests means entering into a voluntary relationship, and betraying a relationship
willingly entered is more despicable than betraying a relationship born into. The fourth
round is Judecca, after Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Christ. This round is reserved for
traitors to their lords/benefactors/masters. As in the previous circle, the subdivisions each
have their own demons and punishments."
Not to take all of this literally, but it shows the wisdom of our ancestors and the
intense acrimony they felt towards this most nefarious act.

I wonder if Hunter ever held a government job, or appointment, which involved the handling
of classified information? I have no idea.
But, exactly how did Hunter get TS information on his computer?
No matter. The National Security Act of 1947 applies. Since it does, multiple felonies
have been committed. How many people are involved in the commission of these felonies,
besides Hunter?
Just like Hillary's illegal servers...the existence of which automatically gives rise to
dozens of felonies...Hunter's felonies are automatic with the existence of ANY TS classified
information, found outside of officially controlled, and authorized, locations.
If anyone planned to deliberately deliver such information to unauthorized individuals,
additional felonies are involved.
There is simply no excuse, or defense.

Hunter Biden's Story Could Help Hillary Clinton To Become Vice President
The recently revealed business deals of Hunter Biden will strongly influence politics after
an eventual Joe Biden win in tomorrows election.
On October 15 the New York Post published a story on Hunter Biden based on data from
a laptop Joe Biden's son had left with a repair shop. The Biden family has not disputed that
the laptop or the data on it is genuine. Next to
the porn on the laptop there were thousand of emails which
describe shady deals with a (now defunct) large Chinese energy company , CEFC.
Twitter , Facebook and other media
like the Intercept tried to prevent the distribution of the story. They falsely
claimed that the information was 'hacked' or unproven. The censorship inevitably made the story
more prominent and increased the number of people who learned of it.
A week after the NY Post story ran Tony Bobulinski, a former business partner of
Hunter Biden,
went public with further allegations against him:
Tony Bobulinski, a former business associate of Hunter Biden, said Wednesday night that he
can confirm details regarding his overseas business dealings, including that a reference to a
"Big Guy" in a May 13, 2017 email did, in fact, refer to Democratic presidential nominee Joe
Biden.
In a lengthy statement, Bobulinski identified himself as the CEO of Sinohawk Holdings, a
firm he described as "a partnership between the Chinese operating through CEFC/Chairman Ye
and the Biden family." He added that Hunter Biden and James Gilliar, another business
associate, brought him on as CEO of the venture.
"Hunter Biden called his dad 'the Big Guy' or 'my Chairman,' and frequently referenced
asking him for his sign-off or advice on various potential deals that we were discussing,"
Bobulinski said. "I've seen Vice President Biden saying he never talked to Hunter about his
business. I've seen firsthand that that's not true, because it wasn't just Hunter's business,
they said they were putting the Biden family name and its legacy on the line."
A number of outlets have each carried various snippets of the whole story of Hunter Biden's
very profitable dealings with foreign companies. That has created a confusing picture. Stephen
McIntyre, who has done useful investigative research on climate change, Russiagate, and the OPCW shenanigans in Syria, has
thankfully created a 19 pages long
timeline with all the Biden-China evidence that has so far seen the daylight. He
writes:
The Biden family was involved in two major Chinese deals:
a carried stake in Bohai Harvest Partners Investment Fund. Their interest in this deal
began in 2013. Hunter Biden, Devon Archer and James Bulger each had 10% interests. This
fund is still active. Bobulinski was not involved in this deal.
a second deal initiated in 2017 in which the Bidens received $5 million from Chinese
energy company CEFC and/or its officers. CEFC had, in a short period, become a huge company
and, even more quickly, disintegrated. This second deal was the one involving Patrick Ho,
who was arrested in Nov 2017 in US for corruption, Gongwen Dong and its chairman Ye
Jianming, who was arrested in China and/or disappeared in March 2018.
Nearly all of the interesting texts and emails from 2017 and Bobulinski's information
are limited to this second deal. These were only a small fraction of sleazy transactions by
Hunter Biden, Devon Archer and associates. Concurrent with this affair were transactions in
Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Russia as well as participation in major frauds by John Galanis and
Jason Sugarman in which Archer (but not so far, Hunter Biden) have been convicted. The texts
and emails have been released in a piecemeal and disorganized way. In this article, I'll
attempt to re-assemble a narrative of events for the CEFC affair.
...
Another timeline of the Hunter Biden affairs with slightly different material
has been collected by Seamus Bruner and John Solomon. They write:
The New York Post
broke news last week that Joe Biden himself may have benefited from his son's dealings.
The Post quoted a cryptic message from one of Hunter's partners, saying that "10 [percent]
held by H for the big guy?" The recipient of that message, Tony Bobulinski, says "there is no question"
that "H" stands for Hunter and the "big guy" is Joe Biden.
We gain further insight into the operations of Biden Inc. in emails provided to us by
Bevan Cooney, a former business associate of Hunter Biden. Cooney, who is currently in prison
for his role in the Indian Bond Scheme that is sending Hunter Biden business partner Devon
Archer also to jail, shared 26,000 emails that show what Hunter's role was in their business
ventures. The Biden name was considered "currency" for their foreign business ventures, and
was a "direct pipeline" to the Obama-Biden administration. Deals involving Hunter benefited
from the "Biden lift," the help that the name would provide in overseas dealings.
What might the Bidens' foreign benefactors have expected in return for all this largesse?
We can't say. But some may see a correlation between that foreign money and Joe Biden's
policy posture toward the sources of that money.
Stephen McIntyre has promised to update his timeline with the material revealed by the other
authors. As McIntyre is always diligent in his work his timeline can be taken as an
authoritative source.
While I am still digging through the above collections here my first thoughts on why these
matter.
The facts show that Hunter Biden and other traded on and profited from Joe Biden's position
by selling his 'influence' to foreign companies. It is likely that Joe Biden at least
indirectly also profited from that work.
A federal judge named Joe Biden as a possible "witness" along with his son Hunter in a
criminal fraud case last year that ended in the convictions of two of Hunter's business
partners, according to little-noticed court documents. The Democratic presidential
candidate's appearance on a witness list casts new doubt on his claims he knew nothing about
his son's shady business dealings.
As revenge for Russiagate the Republicans will use the affair to their utmost advantage.
There are only two ways for Joe Biden to prevent Republicans and independent media from
further digging into the affair and all the potentially illegal issues it reveals.
If Joe Biden loses the election the scandal will likely vanish as soon as he retreats
from the public view.
If Joe Biden wins the election the scandal will fester until he resigns.
The second case is especially interesting. Vice President candidate Kamala Harris has been
groomed by Hillary Clinton's inner circle since
2017 :
The Democrats' "Great Freshman Hope," Sen. Kamala Harris, is heading to the Hamptons to meet
with Hillary Clinton's biggest backers.
The California senator is being fêted in Bridgehampton on Saturday at the home of
MWWPR guru Michael Kempner, a staunch Clinton supporter who was one of her national-finance
co-chairs and a led fund-raiser for her 2008 bid for the presidency. He was also listed as
one of the top "bundlers" for Barack Obama's 2012 re-election campaign, having raised $3
million.
Should the somewhat demented Joe Biden leave 'for health reasons' soon after he has been
sworn into office Kamala Harris would become President. She then could use the 25th Amendment
to select Hillary Clinton as the new Vice President.
If, after a Biden win in the election, Hillary Clinton supporters in the liberul media stop
censoring the Hunter Biden affair or even start to further expose it we can be sure that such a
scheme is on the verge of being implemented.

Bingo. The Clintons are never too far away from all political shenanigans that go on in the
US. They and their cohorts were called the Southern Mafia for a reason.
A Joe Biden impeachment if guilty of payouts from China would be a victory of our
system of checks and balances. Still not voting for Trump.
Steele Dossier update I read that the primary source for Steele was Ms. Galkina,
basically a nobody creating fiction for pay and not a 'a high ranking Kremlin official'. Does
this mean that the Trump Shills like Don Jr, Hannity, Ingraham, et al will stop calling it
Russian misinformation sent to the Democrats to attack Donald Trump?
It explains why they chose Joe Biden as presidential candidate even though he is clearly not
up to the job. He is to be the expendable Trojan horse through which some very unpalatable to
the public people will gain power they otherwise would not have been able to.
This should worry those who will vote for Biden. What they are voting for and what they
are going to get is not the same thing.
Useful clarity, b, as always.
Not sure I can agree that Republican reps will drag this into the light post election.
My impression was that they didn't go into Ukraine defense at impeachment was that the
campaign finance / money laundering / influence peddling gravy train there, as elsewhere,
probably, was and is bipartisan.
I can buy everything B is saying, but who exactly will investigate President Biden if D's win
both Houses of Congress?
Bill Barr could start an investigation, if one has not already been started, but
government moves slowly so it is hard to see the Trump administration bringing charges before
Biden is sworn in.
But if Hillary wants to throw Biden under the bus after the election, well she could
probably do so.
The best arguments against life extension science are people like Clinton, Biden, and Pelosi.
Imagine them as speaker or senator or Supreme Court justice for the next 1000 years.
Wouldn't the 25th amendment be the desired method of transferring power to Harris? Although
it has always struck me a wee bit odd that the computer repairman called the FBI after making
a copy, which in turn he gave to Rudy Giuliana. Do all computer repairmen have Rudy on speed
dial by any chance? Sadly the weird of the whole scenario is very Clintonian. How long til an
Arkancide or two happens. Can't the Clintons just go away for good?
The democrats will investigate and kick Biden out. The democrats knew all along that this
stuff about Biden was real but they had no chance to win with the other losers. So, the order
was given to the others to drop from the race and let strawman Biden beat Bernie. If Biden
gets elected, they will bring all his dirt up, impeach him and govern from the shadows
through Kamala who has no principles and questionable character (e.g., slept with Willie to
move her career up).
Or maybe Harris poisons Biden to speed things up and invites Micky Mouse to become her vice
president.
Come on B, this is really clumsy, below your standard. We all know that Biden is corrupt,
but we also know that Tronald is even more corrupt, that he is a fascist who has filled every
post in his administration with the most disgusting reactionary you can find in the country.
And that means something. The man belongs to scrap iron. One cannot reject the bad in favor
of the even worse. That is irrational.
Yes, this has been hinted on by my local conservative radio host since Pelosi introduced
legislation re: removing unfit presidents about a month ago.
It was always about removing Biden, if he were elected, not Trump.
Biden has never struck me during his whole campaign of a genuine interest in the
presidency.
It has always seemed more like he was doing it begrudgingly for "the cause."
Contrast this to the emotion Trump exhibited during his 2016 run when he gripped and
nearly ripped his notes in anger after a debate with Hillary Clinton ended. Or how he sat
stone-faced during Obama's speech during a white house correspondence dinner where Obama tore
into Trump and the audience roared with laughter. Trump just stared right back.
These are pieces any sane person can put together with the understanding that these men
are all still subject to egoism and revenge. It is not all elites against us as some
simpletons wish to boil it down to. It is much more subtle and so you must use discernment
and study their tells and what gives their true desires away.
Hillary is so unlikely to have authored the Foreign Affairs article. Staff work. Whose staff?
Uninteresting to pursue. Other than that appearance Hills has been very quiet. Suspiciously
quiet. Could be that Obama or whoever succeeded in shutting her up, that would have been
daunting and just plain hard. Better bet is her health is failing.
In short, Mark Simon took initiative and gave $10,000 to a guy called
Crhistopher Balding , an associate professor at Beijing University and late moved to
Vietnam on Fulbright Scholarship, to prepare and disseminate the "Aspen dossier"
detailing supposed Chinese influence ops targeting the Biden family basing an the
"info/disinformation" from a supposed Swiss investigator Martin Aspen.
After NBC article exposes Martin Aspen is actually an AI-created persona, Jimmy Lai, who
depends on the support from USG to continue his anti-China activities in HK, publicly
distance himself from the whole operation, and his trusted lieutenant Mark Simon, a possible
CIA agent, announced his resignation from Apple Daily after Balding exposed his involvement.
Detail
here
Okay, sleazy and yet very normal (one might say habitual) corruption in a US political
family. But by 2017, Joe Biden was out of office, and there is nothing that suggests that he,
rather than his repulsive son, was profiting before that.
The stake in the Bohai Harvest Partners Investment Fund (2013) does not name Joe Biden as an
investor at all.
This may be why the FBI, the media, and even Glenn Greenwald in his article, say that
there is nothing in this pile of dog crap that implicates Joe Biden at this point.
All very plausible, all very Byzantine and decadent. The "United States of America" is in the
midst of decay and breakup, which will occur no matter who is "elected" or otherwise gains
power, legally or militarily. It is only a question of which "gang in power" -to use Murray
Rothbard's phrase- is running your successor state.
According to The New Yorker, in June 2013, "[Jonathan] Li, Archer, and other business
partners signed a memorandum of understanding to create the fund, which they named BHR
Partners, and, in November, they signed contracts related to the deal. Hunter became an
unpaid member of BHR's board but did not take an equity stake in BHR Partners until after
his father left the White House →".
The Aspen Dossier was peddled by Balding to right wing websites, which then first
published in mid-Sept and now got the momentum.
The notion that the Democrats will allow their party name to be associated with a deposed
Democrat President seems more than far-fetched.
Far more likely is that the "investigation" will drag on long enough to fade from public
view, then quietly pardon everyone.
This Biden to Harris to HRC seems much more like a plot for a fantasy/spy novel.
Meanwhile...we are being distracted by the Huntergate ...an autum of terror in being
prepared in Europe...
At least 150 private military contractors have been transported to Europe on
Pentagon-chartered flights over the last weeks, including from Benghazi, #Libya via #Malta
to Sofia, #Bulgaria
Harris could simply resign some weeks after Clinton II gets the VP, Harris could do so for
any reason but if it was me writing the script I would cook up some mumbo jumbo about "clean
slate", "not yet ready", "for the sake of blah-blah" and so on.
That way Harris can come back and fill the gap between Clinton II and Clinton III (no
prizes for guessing who).
Not that I don't think the US won't be gone long before that can happen or won't be in a
civil war if any of it does or maybe from Biden or the "election" alone.
I agree with many here: looks like a typical political elite family corruption (Roman-style
corruption).
But I have a theory: with Reagan's hegemony (1980-1992), the old Democrat elites were
wiped out. The Democratic Party came near to extinction, the USA almost becoming a
single-party nation. Reagan looked invincible, the consensus he commanded among the American
people incontestable. He easily elected his successor (George H. W. Bush).
The Democrats were reborn, like a Phoenix, thanks to a huge transformation: the rise of
the so-called "Southern Democrats". This newly-born faction, much more conservative, had one
clear leadership: Bill Clinton, from Arkansas.
Bill Clinton then surprisingly won against George H. W. Bush and got extremely lucky: he
got the USSR in tatters, ready for the sack. The ransacking of the Soviet Sphere marked the
only time after the post-war miracle (1945-1974) when the USA registered a trade surplus
(+38%).
This ransacking, in my theory, generated the rise of a new set of families of a new
Democrat elite. All of then are vassals to the Clinton family (as we can deduce from the de
facto fusion between the Clinton Foundation and the DNC), but each got the right to a piece
of the ex-Soviet cake. Victoria Nuland, for example, got the telecommunication industries of
the ex-Yugoslavia through her husband. My guess is the Bidens are part of this new, "Southern
Democrat" elite, hence their casual connections with ex-Soviet states and mafias.
Everything must have been done quickly and hastily, as Bill Clinton wasn't able to elect
his successor (Al Gore). This realization that "time was short" may explain the apparent
amateurish partition of the ex-socialist cake by those families. Hence the laptop
episode.
The Obama phenomenon may be easily explained: the crisis of 2008 prompted Wall Street to
enter the field because they needed the bailout (Bush's Congress blocked the bailout in
November 2008, putting the Texan on his knees) to pass as soon as January 2009. Hilary
Clinton was senator for New York (you cannot be elected in NY without Wall Street's consent),
so it wasn't that she was in any position to rig the DNC at that moment. Penny Pritzker
somehow convinced Wall Street moguls Obama (senator from Illinois, USA's second financial
center) was the better candidate to the task. Even then, Hilary competed with Obama, and
there were primaries, so the process wasn't as smooth as many alt-rightists like to tell us
today. Plus, Hilary was still young, so she had time: she may have calculated Obama would be
left to clean the shit from the crisis and she would reap the economic recovery as his
successor; that Obama survived and easily got reelected is merely one of those windfalls of
destiny.
Anyhow, the fact is that Obama disappeared after his second term and the Clintons came
back to the forefront of the Democratic Party. This is an indication he was more of a detour
on the party's project, the Southern Democrats never really losing grip. I don't think the
Bidens are, therefore, part of Obama's entourage, but of the Clinton's.
- When I read that Hillary Clinton has put out a job application then I almost want Trump to
win the presidential election of 2020.
- There was one person who said that the choice between Clinton and Trump (in 2016) and Biden
and Trump (in 2020) was the choice between having typhoid and having cholera.
Its aim is to use Shanghai FTA to covert Chinese Yuan to dollar to invest overseas.
(Somehow, I personally doubt this kind of funds could be used by rich Chinese tycoons and
corrupt officials to shift their illegal gains out of China.)
Obviously, it looks rather nepotism, but isn't it the fact that lots of relatives of the
American (Chinese, European, Japanes, etc.) politicians have been doing these kind dubious
business deals all the time?
"Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall
nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of
both Houses of Congress," Section 2 of the amendment explains.
Penny Pritzker? Where do you come up with this stuff? She's a nasty piece of work all
right but that she moved Wall Street or played kingmaker is just absurd.
Penny couldn't even manage basic South Side real estate swindles without buckets of help.
Including from Obama. Who has a long family pedigree and outranks Pritzkers in every way.
I read that the primary source for Steele was Ms. Galkina, basically a nobody creating
fiction for pay and not a 'a high ranking Kremlin official'. Does this mean that the Trump
Shills like Don Jr, Hannity, Ingraham, et al will stop calling it Russian misinformation
sent to the Democrats to attack Donald Trump?
You might have missed this, but it has been established by U.S. scientists that Russians
are not animals. Russians is a giant fungal mycelium that may form animal mimic fruiting
bodies colloquially known as "Russian individuals". Thus, while it may appear to you that
Galkina is a separate organism, in reality "she" is a mere outgrowth of Russians. Any action
taken by "her" is an action of the entire organism. That is why any time a Russian fruiting
body misbehaves, the sanctions are imposed on the entire mycelium. Hope this helps.
Suddenly , some of the woke liberals and MSM journos start to doubt the corrupt Chinese
billionaire Guo Wengui aka Miles Kwok, a fugitive, and MSM's mostly beloved master of Chinese
"leaker", is working for CCP(!) and begin to expose his undemocratic behavour:
I think Biden was chosen, because no one wanted him, as a 'consensus candidate' against
Bernie Sanders. Sanders is a much more existential threat to the 'establishment' than Donald
Trump. And yeah, sheep dog etc. the point is the ideas behind Sanders - to begin mitigation
of corporate power - is the enemy.
Hillary Clinton? If the plan is to seal the deal for a third party movement to actually
rival the two-party monopoly, then good plan.
Yeah, no doubt they suckered Hunter, then saved the laptop for October while making up a
story for how they got it. I have always felt - I won't say thought - that the whole story
stunk, it was just too convenient, the timing too perfect, the scandal too juicy, and Trump
is a vindictive person, it's payback. Perhaps they enhanced the contents a bit too. If there
is an investigation, it could be interesting.
B's prediction that Joe Biden being pushed out early during his first term as President,
either because of Hunter Biden's scandals or his own worsening dementia, to be replaced by
Kamala Harris as President who would then nominate The Klintonator as her VP, will depend on
Biden winning the Presidency.
The way the election seems to be going - I have seen some news that an Australian news
reporter in the US, monitoring the news polls and speaking to people, is confused because
while the polls predict a Biden win, the majority of the people he talks to (I presume he
travels quite a lot and speaks to people of very different backgrounds and communities) are
voting for Trump - the results may be very close, they will depend on votes coming from US
voters casting votes overseas or mail-in votes, the Electoral College voting may be very
close and I hazard that the final result may not be known until December.
Plenty of time then for both Democrats and Republicans to accuse each other of stalling on
the results, for fighting to break out all around the nation, and cities to try to enforce
lockdowns to the extent of calling in the military. Perhaps when civil war breaks out,
someone will propose some kind of unity government, Congress in its panic will agree and
somehow The Klintonator manages to wangle her way into the Presidency or a position as
Secretary of Defense or Secretary of State.
here is a post from someone at sst - jersey jeffersonian - quoting from a website... i don't
know if or how much of this is true, but it goes with all of this..
"It seems now that Chris Wray's FBI was sitting on the Hunter Biden laptop, too.
And probably, beyond permitting the whole impeachment farago to plow ahead by hiding
evidence supportive of President Trump's actions, or lack thereof, in Ukraine, because
certain activities in which Wray had been involved earlier might come back to haunt him. Here
is a passage quoted from James Kunstler's blog post of this morning on this point:
"...here's a strange Swamp sidelight to all this: CEFC's main exploit during the Biden
hook-up years was the purchase of a 14 percent stake in Russia's oil-and-gas giant, Rosneft,
to help China circumvent US sanctions on Russia's oil sales. Guess who was one of the lawyers
working for Rosneft: Christopher Wray, just before he became FBI director. And guess who has
been sitting on Hunter Biden's laptop since at least December of 2019. Oh, the FBI. And guess
what else: the Rosneft files have since been deleted by Mr. Wray's old law firm, King and
Spalding."
Recall here Biden's negotiations with the head of CEFC, Ho Chiping, to establish a
humongous LPG facility in Louisiana (see the referenced blog post for more information)."
here is the website link as well for the specific quote - The Awful Reckoning
When the last serious dispute about who had won a presidential election occurred, in 1876,
they had four months between the election and the inauguration of the new president to
resolve the matter, and then the dispute was only resolved at the last moment, just before
the inauguration date.
Now, with the inauguration date moved back from March to December, they will have
considerably less time to resolve a dispute.

I am posting here the most recent draft of my article about Joe and Hunter Biden -- the
last one seen by Intercept editors before telling me that they refuse to publish it
absent major structural changes involving the removal of all sections critical of Joe Biden,
leaving only a narrow article critiquing media outlets. I will also, in a separate post,
publish all communications I had with Intercept editors surrounding this article so you can see
the censorship in action and, given the Intercept's denials, decide for yourselves (this is the
kind of transparency responsible journalists provide, and which the Intercept refuses to this
day to provide regarding their conduct in the Reality Winner story). This draft obviously would
have gone through one more round of proof-reading and editing by me -- to shorten it, fix
typos, etc -- but it's important for the integrity of the claims to publish the draft in
unchanged form that Intercept editors last saw, and announced that they would not "edit" but
completely gut as a condition to publication:

TITLE: THE REAL SCANDAL: U.S. MEDIA USES FALSEHOODS TO DEFEND JOE BIDEN FROM HUNTER'S
EMAILS
Publication by the New York Post two weeks ago of emails from Hunter Biden's laptop,
relating to
Vice President Joe Biden's work in Ukraine , and subsequent articles from other outlets
concerning the Biden family's pursuit of
business opportunities in China , provoked extraordinary efforts by a de facto union
of media outlets, Silicon Valley giants and the intelligence community to suppress these
stories.
One outcome is that the Biden campaign concluded, rationally, that there is no need for the
front-running presidential candidate to address even the most basic and relevant questions
raised by these materials. Rather than condemn Biden for ignoring these questions -- the
natural instinct of a healthy press when it comes to a presidential election -- journalists
have instead led the way in concocting excuses to justify his silence.
After the Post's first article, both that newspaper and other news outlets have published
numerous other emails and texts purportedly written to and from Hunter reflecting his efforts
to induce his father to take actions as Vice President beneficial to the Ukrainian energy
company Burisma, on whose board of directors Hunter sat for a monthly payment of $50,000, as
well as proposals for lucrative business deals in China that traded on his influence with his
father.
Individuals included in some of the email chains have confirmed the
contents' authenticity . One of Hunter's former business partners, Tony Bubolinski, has
stepped forward on the record to confirm the authenticity of many of the emails and to insist
that Hunter along with Joe Biden's brother Jim were planning on including the former Vice
President in at least one deal in China. And GOP pollster Frank Luntz, who appeared in one of
the published email chains, appeared to confirm the
authenticity as well, though he refused to answer follow-up
questions about it.
Thus far, no proof has been offered by Bubolinski that Biden ever consummated his
participation in any of those discussed deals. The Wall Street Journal
says that it found no corporate records reflecting that a deal was finalized and that "text
messages and emails related to the venture that were provided to the Journal by Mr. Bobulinski,
mainly from the spring and summer of 2017, don't show either Hunter Biden or James Biden
discussing a role for Joe Biden in the venture."
But nobody claimed that any such deals had been consummated -- so the conclusion that one
had not been does not negate the story. Moreover, some texts and emails whose authenticity has
not been disputed state that Hunter was adamant that any discussions about the involvement of
the Vice President be held only verbally and never put in writing.
Beyond that, the Journal's columnist Kimberly Strassel reviewed a stash of
documents and "found correspondence corroborates and expands on emails recently published
by the New York Post," including ones where Hunter was insisting that it was his connection to
his father that was the greatest asset sought by the Chinese conglomerate with whom they were
negotiating. The New York Times on Sunday reached a similar
conclusion : while no documents prove that such a deal was consummated, "records produced
by Mr. Bobulinski show that in 2017, Hunter Biden and James Biden were involved in negotiations
about a joint venture with a Chinese energy and finance company called CEFC China Energy," and
"make clear that Hunter Biden saw the family name as a valuable asset, angrily citing his
'family's brand' as a reason he is valuable to the proposed venture."
These documents also demonstrate, reported the Times, "that the countries that Hunter Biden,
James Biden and their associates planned to target for deals overlapped with nations where Joe
Biden had previously been involved as vice president." Strassel noted that "a May 2017
'expectations' document shows Hunter receiving 20% of the equity in the venture and holding
another 10% for 'the big guy' -- who Mr. Bobulinski attests is Joe Biden." And the independent
journalist Matt Taibbi published an
article on Sunday with ample documentation suggesting that Biden's attempt to replace a
Ukranian prosecutor in 2015 benefited Burisma.
All of these new materials, the authenticity of which has never been disputed by Hunter
Biden or the Biden campaign, raise important questions about whether the former Vice President
and current front-running presidential candidate was aware of efforts by his son to peddle
influence with the Vice President for profit, and also whether the Vice President ever took
actions in his official capacity with the intention, at least in part, of benefitting his son's
business associates. But in the two weeks since the Post published its initial story, a union
of the nation's most powerful entities, including its news media, have taken extraordinary
steps to obscure and bury these questions rather than try to provide answers to them.
The initial documents, claimed the New York Post, were obtained when the laptops containing
them were left at a Delaware repair shop with water damage and never picked up, allowing the
owner to access its contents and then turn them over to both the FBI and a lawyer for Trump
advisor Rudy Giuliani. The repair store owner confirmed this narrative in
interviews with news outlets and then (under penalty of prosecution)
to a Senate Committee; he also provided the receipt purportedly signed by Hunter. Neither
Hunter nor the Biden campaign has denied these claims.
Publication of that initial New York Post story provoked
a highly unusual censorship campaign by Facebook and Twitter. Facebook, through a long-time
former Democratic Party operative, vowed to suppress the story pending its "fact-check," one
that has as of yet produced no public conclusions. And while Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey apologized
for Twitter's handling of the censorship and reversed the
policy that led to the blocking of all links the story, the New York Post, the nation's
fourth-largest newspaper, continues to be locked out of its Twitter account, unable to post as
the election approaches, for almost two weeks.
After that initial censorship burst from Silicon Valley, whose workforce and oligarchs
have
donated almost entirely to the Biden campaign, it was the nation's media outlets and former
CIA and other intelligence officials who took the lead in constructing reasons why the story
should be dismissed, or at least treated with scorn. As usual for the Trump era, the theme that
took center stage to accomplish this goal was an unsubstantiated claim about the Kremlin
responsibility for the story.
Numerous news outlets, including the Intercept ,
quickly cited a public letter signed by former CIA officials and other agents of the security
state claiming that the documents have the "classic trademarks" of a "Russian disinformation"
plot. But, as media outlets and even intelligence agencies are now slowly admitting, no
evidence has ever been presented to corroborate this assertion. On Friday, the New York Times
reported that "no
concrete evidence has emerged that the laptop contains Russian disinformation" and the paper
said even the FBI has "acknowledged that it had not found any Russian disinformation on the
laptop."
The Washington Post on Sunday published
an op-ed -- by Thomas Rid, one of those centrists establishmentarian professors whom media
outlets routinely use to provide the facade of expert approval for deranged conspiracy theories
-- that contained this extraordinary proclamation: "We must treat the Hunter Biden leaks as if
they were a foreign intelligence operation -- even if they probably aren't."
Even the letter from the former
intelligence officials cited by The Intercept and other outlets to insinuate that this was
all part of some "Russian disinformation" scheme explicitly admitted that "we do not have
evidence of Russian involvement," though many media outlets omitted that crucial
acknowledgement when citing the letter in order to disparage the story as a Kremlin plot:
Despite this complete lack of evidence, the Biden campaign adopted this phrase used by
intelligence officials and media outlets as its mantra for why the materials should not be
discussed and why they would not answer basic questions about them. "I think we need to be
very, very clear that what he's doing here is amplifying Russian misinformation," said Biden
Deputy Campaign Manager Kate Bedingfield about the possibility that Trump would raise the Biden
emails at Thursday night's debate. Biden's senior advisor Symone Sanders similarly warned on
MSNBC : "if the president decides to amplify these latest smears against the vice president
and his only living son, that is Russian disinformation."
The few mainstream journalists who tried merely to discuss these materials have been
vilified. For the crime of simply noting it on Twitter that first day, New York Times reporter
Maggie Haberman had her name trend all morning along
with the derogatory nickname "MAGA Haberman." CBS News' Bo Erickson was widely attacked even by
his some in the media simply
for asking Biden what his response to the story was. And Biden himself refused to answer,
accusing Erickson of spreading a "smear."
That it is irresponsible and even unethical to mention these documents became a pervasive
view in mainstream journalism. The NPR Public Editor, in an anazing
statement representative of much of the prevailing media mentality, explicitly justified
NPR's refusal to cover the story on the ground that "we do not want to waste our time on
stories that are not really stories . . . [or] waste the readers' and listeners' time on
stories that are just pure distractions."
To justify her own show's failure to cover the story, 60 Minutes' Leslie Stahl resorted to
an entirely different justification . "It can't be verified," the CBS reporter claimed when
confronted by President Trump in an interview about her program's failure to cover the Hunter
Biden documents. When Trump insisted there were multiple ways to verify the materials on the
laptop, Stahl simply repeated the same
phrase : "it can't be verified."
After the final presidential debate on Thursday night, a CNN panel mocked the story as
too complex and obscure for anyone to follow -- a self-fulfilling prophecy given that, as the
network's media reporter Brian Stelter noted with pride , the story
has barely been mentioned either on CNN or MSNBC. As the New York Times noted on
Friday : "most viewers of CNN and MSNBC would not have heard much about the unconfirmed
Hunter Biden emails.... CNN's mentions of "Hunter" peaked at 20 seconds and MSNBC's at 24
seconds one day last week."
On Sunday, CNN's Christiane Amanpour barely pretended to be interested in any journalism
surrounding the story, scoffing during an interview at requests from the RNC's Elizabeth
Harrington to cover the story and verify the documents by telling her: "We're not going to do
your work for you." Watch how the U.S.'s most mainstream journalists are openly announcing
their refusal to even consider what these documents might reflect about the Democratic
front-runner:
These journalists are desperate not to know. As Taibbi wrote on Sunday
about this tawdry press spectacle: " The least curious people in the country right now appear
to be the credentialed news media, a situation normally unique to tinpot authoritarian
societies."
All of those excuses and pretexts -- emanating largely from a national media that is all but
explicit in their eagerness for Biden to win -- served for the first week or more after the
Post story to create a cone of silence around this story and, to this very day, a protective
shield for Biden. As a result, the front-running presidential candidate knows that he does not
have to answer even the most basic questions about these documents because most of the national
press has already signaled that they will not press him to do so; to the contrary, they will
concoct defenses on his behalf to avoid discussing it.
The relevant questions for Biden raised by this new reporting are as glaring as they are
important. Yet Biden has had to answer very few of them yet because he has not been asked and,
when he has, media outlets have justified his refusal to answer rather than demand that he do
so. We submitted nine questions to his campaign about these documents that the public has the
absolute right to know, including:
whether he claims any the emails or texts are fabricated (and, if so, which specific
ones);
whether he knows if Hunter did indeed drop off laptops at the Delaware repair store;
whether Hunter ever asked him to meet with Burisma executives or whether he in fact did
so;
whether Biden ever knew about business proposals in Ukraine or China being pursued by
his son and brother in which Biden was a proposed participant and,
how Biden could justify expending so much energy as Vice President demanding that the
Ukrainian General Prosecutor be fired, and why the replacement -- Yuriy Lutsenko, someone
who had no
experience in law ; was a crony of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko; and himself
had a history of corruption allegations -- was acceptable if Biden's goal really was to
fight corruption in Ukraine rather than benefit Burisma or control Ukrainian internal
affairs for some other objective.
Though the Biden campaign indicated that they would respond to the Intercept's questions,
they have not done so. A statement they released to
other outlets contains no answers to any of these questions except to claim that Biden "has
never even considered being involved in business with his family, nor in any business
overseas." To date, even as the Biden campaign echoes the baseless claims of media outlets that
anyone discussing this story is "amplifying Russian disinformation," neither Hunter Biden nor
the Biden campaign have even said whether they claim the emails and other documents -- which
they and the press continue to label "Russian disinformation" -- are forgeries or whether they
are authentic.
The Biden campaign clearly believes it has no need to answer any of these questions by
virtue of a panoply of media excuses offered on its behalf that collapse upon the most minimal
scrutiny:
First , the claim that the material is of suspect authenticity or cannot be verified -- the
excuse used on behalf of Biden by Leslie Stahl and Christiane Amanpour, among others -- is
blatantly false for numerous reasons. As someone who has reported similar large archives in
partnership with numerous media outlets around the world (including the Snowden archive in 2014
and the
Intercept's Brazil Archive over the last year showing corruption by high-level
Bolsonaro officials ), and who also covered the reporting of similar archives by other
outlets (the Panama Papers, the WikiLeaks war logs of 2010 and DNC/Podesta emails of 2016), it
is clear to me that the trove of documents from Hunter Biden's emails has been verified in ways
quite similar to those.
With an archive of this size, one can never independently authenticate every word in every
last document unless the subject of the reporting voluntarily confirms it in advance, which
they rarely do. What has been done with similar archives is journalists obtain enough
verification to create high levels of journalistic confidence in the materials. Some of the
materials provided by the source can be independently confirmed, proving genuine access by the
source to a hard drive, a telephone, or a database. Other parties in email chains can confirm
the authenticity of the email or text conversations in which they participated. One
investigates non-public facts contained in the documents to determine that they conform to what
the documents reflect. Technology specialists can examine the materials to ensure no signs of
forgeries are detected.
This is the process that enabled the largest and most established media outlets around the
world to report similar large archives obtained without authorization. In those other cases, no
media outlet was able to verify every word of every document prior to publication. There was no
way to prove the negative that the source or someone else had not altered or forged some of the
material. That level of verification is both unattainable and unnecessary. What is needed is
substantial evidence to create high confidence in the authentication process.
The Hunter Biden documents have at least as much verification as those other archives that
were widely reported. There are sources in the email chains who have verified that the
published emails are accurate. The archive contains private photos and videos of Hunter whose
authenticity is not in doubt. A former business partner of Hunter has stated, unequivocally and
on the record, that not only are the emails authentic but they describe events accurately,
including proposed participation by the former Vice President in at least one deal Hunter and
Jim Biden were pursuing in China. And, most importantly of all, neither Hunter Biden nor the
Biden campaign has even suggested, let alone claimed, that a single email or text is fake.
Why is the failure of the Bidens to claim that these emails are forged so significant?
Because when journalists report on a massive archive, they know that the most important event
in the reporting's authentication process comes when the subjects of the reporting have an
opportunity to deny that the materials are genuine. Of course that is what someone would do if
major media outlets were preparing to publish, or in fact were publishing, fabricated or forged
materials in their names; they would say so in order to sow doubt about the materials if not
kill the credibility of the reporting.
The silence of the Bidens may not be dispositive on the question of the material's
authenticity, but when added to the mountain of other authentication evidence, it is quite
convincing: at least equal to the authentication evidence in other reporting on similarly large
archives.
Second , the oft-repeated claim from news outlets and CIA operatives that the published
emails and texts were "Russian disinformation" was, from the start, obviously baseless and
reckless. No evidence -- literally none -- has been presented to suggest involvement by any
Russians in the dissemination of these materials, let alone that it was part of some official
plot by Moscow. As always, anything is possible -- when one does not know for certain what the
provenance of materials is, nothing can be ruled out -- but in journalism, evidence is required
before news outlets can validly start blaming some foreign government for the release of
information. And none has ever been presented. Yet the claim that this was "Russian
disinformation" was published in countless news outlets, television broadcasts, and the social
media accounts of journalists, typically by pointing to the evidence-free claims of ex-CIA
officials.
Worse is the "disinformation" part of the media's equation. How can these materials
constitute "disinformation" if they are authentic emails and texts actually sent to and from
Hunter Biden? The ease with which news outlets that are supposed to be skeptical of
evidence-free pronouncements by the intelligence community instead printed their assertions
about "Russian disinformation" is alarming in the extreme. But they did it because they
instinctively wanted to find a reason to justify ignoring the contents of these emails, so
claiming that Russia was behind it, and that the materials were "disinformation," became their
placeholder until they could figure out what else they should say to justify ignoring these
documents.
Third , the media rush to exonerate Biden on the question of whether he engaged in
corruption vis-a-vis Ukraine and Burisma rested on what are, at best, factually dubious
defenses of the former Vice President. Much of this controversy centers on Biden's aggressive
efforts while Vice President in late 2015 to force the Ukrainian government to fire its Chief
Prosecutor, Viktor Shokhin, and replace him with someone acceptable to the U.S., which turned
out to be Yuriy Lutsenko. These events are undisputed by virtue of a video of Biden boasting in front of an
audience of how he flew to Kiev and forced the Ukrainians to fire Shokhin, upon pain of losing
$1 billion in aid.
But two towering questions have long been prompted by these events, and the recently
published emails make them more urgent than ever: 1) was the firing of the Ukrainian General
Prosecutor such a high priority for Biden as Vice President of the U.S. because of his son's
highly lucrative role on the board of Burisma, and 2) if that was not the motive, why was it so
important for Biden to dictate who the chief prosecutor of Ukraine was?
The standard answer to the question about Biden's motive -- offered both by Biden and his
media defenders -- is that he, along with the IMF and EU, wanted Shokhin fired because the U.S.
and its allies were eager to clean up Ukraine, and they viewed Shokhin as insufficiently
vigilant in fighting corruption.
"Biden's brief was to sweet-talk and jawbone Poroshenko into making reforms that Ukraine's
Western benefactors wanted to see as,"
wrote the Washington Post's Glenn Kessler in what the Post calls a "fact-check." Kessler
also endorsed the key defense of Biden: that the firing of Shokhin was bad for Burima, not good
for it. "The United States viewed [Shokhin] as ineffective and beholden to Poroshenko and
Ukraine's corrupt oligarchs. In particular, Shokin had failed to pursue an investigation of the
founder of Burisma, Mykola Zlochevsky," Kessler claims.
But that claim does not even pass the laugh test. The U.S. and its European allies are not
opposed to corruption by their puppet regimes. They are allies with the most corrupt regimes on
the planet, from Riyadh to Cairo, and always have been. Since when does the U.S. devote itself
to ensuring good government in the nations it is trying to control? If anything, allowing
corruption to flourish has been a key tool in enabling the U.S. to exert power in other
countries and to open up their markets to U.S. companies.
Beyond that, if increasing prosecutorial independence and strengthening anti-corruption
vigilance were really Biden's goal in working to demand the firing of the Ukrainian chief
prosecutor, why would the successor to Shokhin, Yuriy Lutsenko, possibly be acceptable?
Lutsenko, after all, had "no legal background as general prosecutor," was principally known
only as a lackey of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, was forced in 2009 to "resign as
interior minister after being detained by police at Frankfurt airport for being drunk and
disorderly," and "was subsequently jailed for embezzlement and abuse of office, though his
defenders said the sentence was politically motivated."
Is it remotely convincing to you that Biden would have accepted someone like Lutsenko if his
motive really were to fortify anti-corruption prosecutions in Ukraine? Yet that's exactly what
Biden did: he personally told Poroshenko that Lutsenko was an acceptable alternative and
promptly released the $1 billion after his appointment was announced. Whatever Biden's motive
was in using his power as U.S. Vice President to change the prosecutor in Ukraine, his
acceptance of someone like Lutsenko strongly suggests that combatting Ukrainian corruption was
not it.
As for the other claim on which Biden and his media allies have heavily relied -- that
firing Shokhin was not a favor for Burisma because Shokhin was not pursuing any investigations
against Burisma -- the evidence does not justify that assertion.
It is true that no evidence, including these new emails, constitute proof that Biden's
motive in demanding Shokhin's termination was to benefit Burisma. But nothing demonstrates that
Shokhin was impeding investigations into Burisma. Indeed, the New York Times in 2019 published
one of the most comprehensive investigations to date of the claims made in defense of Biden
when it comes to Ukraine and the firing of this prosecutor, and, while noting that "no evidence
has surfaced that the former vice president intentionally tried to help his son by pressing for
the prosecutor general's dismissal," this is what its reporters concluded about Shokhin and
Burisma:
[Biden's] pressure campaign eventually worked. The prosecutor general, long a target of
criticism from other Western nations and international lenders, was
voted out months later by the Ukrainian Parliament .
Among those who had a stake in the outcome was Hunter Biden , Mr. Biden's younger son, who
at the time was on the board of an energy company owned by a Ukrainian oligarch who had been
in the sights of the fired prosecutor general .
The Times added: "Mr. Shokhin's office had oversight of investigations into [Burisma's
billionaire founder] Zlochevsky and his businesses, including Burisma." By contrast, they said,
Lutsenko, the replacement approved by Vice President Biden, "initially continued investigating
Mr. Zlochevsky and Burisma, but cleared him of all charges within 10 months of taking
office."
So whether or not it was Biden's intention to confer benefits on Burisma by demanding
Shokhin's firing, it ended up quite favorable for Burisma given that the utterly inexperienced
Lutesenko "cleared [Burisma's founder] of all charges within 10 months of taking office."
The new comprehensive report from journalist Taibbi on Sunday also strongly supports the
view that there were clear antagonisms between Shokhin and Burisma, such that firing the
Ukrainian prosecutor would have been beneficial for Burisma. Taibbi, who reported for many
years while based in Russia and remains very well-sourced in the region, detailed:
For all the negative press about Shokhin, there's no doubt that there were multiple active
cases involving Zlochevsky/Burisma during his short tenure. This was even once admitted by
American reporters, before it became taboo to describe such cases untethered to words like
"dormant." Here's how Ken Vogel at the New York
Timesput it in May of
2019:
"When Mr. Shokhin became prosecutor general in February 2015, he inherited several
investigations into the company and Mr. Zlochevsky, including for suspicion of tax evasion
and money laundering. Mr. Shokin also opened an investigation into the granting of lucrative
gas licenses to companies owned by Mr. Zlochevsky when he was the head of the Ukrainian
Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources."
Ukrainian officials I reached this week confirmed that multiple cases were active during
that time.
"There were different numbers, but from 7 to 14," says Serhii Horbatiuk, former head of
the special investigations department for the Prosecutor General's Office, when asked how
many Burisma cases there were.
"There may have been two to three episodes combined, and some have already been closed, so
I don't know the exact amount." But, Horbatiuk insists, there were many cases, most of them
technically started under Yarema, but at least active under Shokin.
The numbers quoted by Horbatiuk gibe with those offered by more recent General Prosecutor
Rulsan Ryaboshapka, who last year said there were at one time or another "
13 or 14 " cases in existence involving Burisma or Zlochevsky.
Taibbi reviews real-time reporting in both Ukraine and the U.S. to document several other
pending investigations against Burisma and Zlochevsky that was overseen by the prosecutor whose
firing Biden demanded. He notes that Shokhin himself has repeatedly said he was pursuing
several investigations against Zlochevsky at the time Biden demanded his firing. In sum, Taibbi
concludes, "one can't say there's no evidence of active Burisma cases even during the last days
of Shokin, who says that it was the February, 2016 seizure order [against Zlochevsky's assets]
that got him fired."
And, Taibbi notes, "the story looks even odder when one wonders why the United States would
exercise so much foreign policy muscle to get Shokin fired, only to allow in a replacement --
Yuri Lutsenko -- who by all accounts was a spectacularly bigger failure in the battle against
corruption in general, and Zlochevsky in particular." In sum: "it's unquestionable that the
cases against Burisma were all closed by Shokin's successor, chosen in consultation with Joe
Biden, whose son remained on the board of said company for three more years, earning upwards of
$50,000 per month."
The publicly known facts, augmented by the recent emails, texts and on-the-record accounts,
suggest serious sleaze by Joe Biden's son Hunter in trying to peddle his influence with the
Vice President for profit. But they also raise real questions about whether Joe Biden knew
about and even himself engaged in a form of legalized corruption. Specifically, these newly
revealed information suggest Biden was using his power to benefit his son's business Ukrainian
associates, and allowing his name to be traded on while Vice President for his son and brother
to pursue business opportunities in China. These are questions which a minimally healthy press
would want answered, not buried -- regardless of how many similar or worse scandals the Trump
family has.
But the real scandal that has been proven is not the former Vice President's misconduct but
that of his supporters and allies in the U.S. media. As Taibbi's headline put it: "With the
Hunter Biden Exposé, Suppression is a Bigger Scandal Than the Actual Story."
The reality is the U.S. press has been planning for this moment for four years -- cooking up
justifications for refusing to report on newsworthy material that might help Donald Trump get
re-elected. One major factor is the undeniable truth that journalists with national outlets
based in New York, Washington and West Coast cities overwhelmingly not just favor Joe Biden but
are desperate to see Donald Trump defeated.
It takes an enormous amount of gullibility to believe that any humans are capable of
separating such an intense partisan preference from their journalistic judgment. Many barely
even bother to pretend: critiques of Joe Biden are often attacked first not by Biden campaign
operatives but by political reporters at national news outlets who make little secret of their
eagerness to help Biden win.
But much of this has to do with the fallout from the 2016 election. During that campaign,
news outlets, including The Intercept, did their jobs as journalists by reporting on the
contents of newsworthy, authentic documents: namely, the emails published by WikiLeaks from the
John Podesta and DNC inboxes which, among other things, revealed corruption so severe that it
forced the resignation of the top five officials of the DNC. That the materials were hacked,
and that intelligence agencies were suggesting Russia was responsible, not negate the
newsworthiness of the documents, which is why media outlets across the country repeatedly
reported on their contents.
Nonetheless, journalists have spent four years being attacked as Trump enablers in their
overwhelmingly Democratic and liberal cultural circles: the cities in which they live are
overwhelmingly Democratic, and their demographic -- large-city, college-educated professionals
-- has vanishingly little Trump support. A
New York Times survey of campaign data from Monday tells just a part of this story of
cultural insularity and homogeniety:
Joe Biden has outraised President Trump on the strength of some of the wealthiest and most
educated ZIP codes in the United States, running up the fund-raising score in cities and
suburbs so resoundingly that he collected more money than Mr. Trump on all but two days in
the last two months....It is not just that much of Mr. Biden's strongest support comes
overwhelmingly from the two coasts, which it does.... [U]nder Mr. Trump, Republicans have
hemorrhaged support from white voters with college degrees. In ZIP codes with a median
household income of at least $100,000, Mr. Biden smashed Mr. Trump in fund-raising, $486
million to only $167 million -- accounting for almost his entire financial edge....One Upper
West Side ZIP code -- 10024 -- accounted for more than $8 million for Mr. Biden, and New York
City in total delivered $85.6 million for him -- more than he raised in every state other
than California....
The median household in the United States was $68,703 in 2019. In ZIP codes above that
level, Mr. Biden outraised Mr. Trump by $389.1 million. Below that level, Mr. Trump was
actually ahead by $53.4 million.
Wanting to avoid a repeat of feeling scorn and shunning in their own extremely
pro-Democratic, anti-Trump circles, national media outlets have spent four years inventing
standards for election-year reporting on hacked materials that never previously existed and
that are utterly anathema to the core journalistic function. The Washington Post's Executive
Editor Marty Baron, for instance,
issued a memo full of cautions about how Post reporters should, or should not, discuss
hacked materials even if their authenticity is not in doubt.
That a media outlet should even consider refraining from reporting on materials they know to
be authentic and in the public interest because of questions about their provenance is the
opposite of how journalism has been practiced. In the days before the 2016 election, for
instance, the New York Times received by mail one year of Donald Trump's tax returns and --
despite having no idea who sent it to them or how that person obtained it: was is stolen or
hacked by a foreign power? -- the Times reported on its
contents .
When asked by NPR why they would report on documents when they do not know the source let
alone the source's motives in providing them, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner David Barstow
compellingly
explained what had always been the core principle of journalism: namely, a journalist only
cares about two questions -- (1) are documents authentic and (2) are they in the public
interest? -- but does not care about what motives a source has in providing the documents or
how they were obtained when deciding whether to reporting them:
The U.S. media often laments that people have lost faith in its pronouncements, that they
are increasingly viewed as untrustworthy and that many people view Fake News sites are more
reliable than established news outlets. They are good at complaining about this, but very bad
at asking whether any of their own conduct is responsible for it.
A media outlet that renounces its core function -- pursuing answers to relevant questions
about powerful people -- is one that deserves to lose the public's faith and confidence. And
that is exactly what the U.S. media, with some exceptions, attempted to do with this story:
they took the lead not in investigating these documents but in concocting excuses for why they
should be ignored.
As my colleague Lee Fang put it on Sunday : "The partisan
double standards in the media are mind boggling this year, and much of the supposedly left
independent media is just as cowardly and conformist as the mainstream corporate media.
Everyone is reading the room and acting out of fear." Discussing his story from Sunday, Taibbi
summed up
the most important point this way: "The whole point is that the press loses its way when it
cares more about who benefits from information than whether it's true."
Glen, I just paid for a subscription so that I can say this one FACT. The PODESTA EMAILS
WERE NOT THE RESULT OF A HACK.
Please stop reporting this nonsense. The cover story was all part of the plan (approved by
HRC) to shift attention to a Trump-Russia collusion narrative that has always been fiction.
Guccifer 2.0 was created out of this same scheme. The meta data on the files prove that it's
impossible that those emails were hacked, they had to be downloaded on a local device
(thumbdrive most likely).
The FISA Abuse, the spying on Trump, The plan to implicate collusion, the Flynn frameup, the
Impeachment, The Mueller investigation were not the base crimes, those were all part of a cover
up. By you insinuating that the DNC server got hacked (which there is zero evidence for), you
are wittingly or unwittingly complicit in perpetuating the lie that it was. You're missing a
much, much bigger story here. The biden laptop isn't even the tip of the icebeg here.
Ask yourself this; "Why would dozens of high level DOJ, FBI, CIA and Whitehouse officials in
the Obama Administration put their careers on the line and commit literally hundreds of
felonies all in an effort to obstruct/neutralize Trump?" That is first question any true journo
should be asking right now.
I became a fan of yours when I was in law school at UC Hastings in 2003. Your the best, for
sure. But fuck...
I got to be honest...I'm glad the press is ignoring this story. There's just too much at
stake. Biden might be losing his edge, his family might be trading in his name, but who gives a
shit? The alternative is worse by light years.
And yeah, I don't trust the "people" out there to get it right. The "people" are rubes.
Those idiots voted for this piece of shit once before, they'll do it again, in a heartbeat.
More importantly, you really want to do Rudy Giuliani's work for him? I don't know, I don't
get it...why so eager to make the campaign's case for them? It's not a rhetorical question. I
just don't get it.
The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee confirmed Wednesday the
information exposed by former Hunter
Biden business associate
Tony Bobulinski that connects the former Vice President to companies and ventures in China.
But you wouldn't know it by following the main stream press.
Bobulinski's bombshell interview with Fox News host
Tucker Carlson Tuesday, along with Carlson's follow up exclusive on Wednesday, revealed
that Democratic candidate Joe Biden was aware of his son's business questionable overseas
business dealings. It should be a huge story. After all, Joe Biden has publicly denied knowing
about his son's business ventures in China, Ukraine and other parts of the world.
So why isn't this story on the front page of every newspaper and covered by every cable
network?
How is it possible that the majority of main stream media outlets, newspapers and cable
networks had no problem running unsubstantiated stories about President Donald Trump, his
family and his businesses only to find out later – without corrections- that the
information they published was bogus.
Here, there is an eye witness to the Biden family operations: Bobulinski. He has come
forward and shown his credibility. He has verified documents, photos, receipts from Hunter
Biden's hard drive that the FBI had obtained, along with President Trump's friend and personal
lawyer former New York City Mayor Rudy
Giuliani.
Why hasn't the FBI done anything with this before the election? The bureau has had it for
almost a year. Giuliani then did the only thing he could do – he turned over the
documents to The New York Post. Those documents obtained from Hunter Biden's laptop are the
massive breadcrumbs to a real political scandal.
These documents raise serious questions as to whether or not our possible future president
really is compromised by foreign adversaries, or whether or not he was using his position in
government to profit his family.
Still, it's only crickets from the main stream media. At the same time, big tech giants like
Twitter, Google and Facebook are also working diligently to squash the story and keep the truth
from the American people.
Tucker Carlson had the highest ratings – historic ratings – at Fox News Tuesday
night with more than 7 million viewers tuning in for the Bobulinski story. Yet, the Bobulinski
interview wasn't trending on Twitter, and in fact, it appeared that his story was non-existent
on the other networks.
Not even the Senators, who held a hearing on Wednesday, could get a straight answer from
Twitter's CEO
Jack Dorsey on why his platform banned The New York Post stories.
Sen. Ted Cruz said on Twitter "What @Jack told the Senate, under oath, is false."
"I just tried to tweet the @nypost story alleging
Biden's CCP corruption. Still Blocked."
Censorship in full force. However, this is not like the old
Soviet censorship – this is a bizarre new self-censorship by elitist leftists who
believe they know what's best for the American people.
Think about this – what if this story was about information these news agencies
discovered on Donald Trump Jr. or Eric Trump. How would they treat it?
Let's start with the most widely discussed and central to the issue of alleged corruption
was Hunter Biden's paid position on the board of Ukrainian energy giant Burisma Holdings.
Despite the fact Hunter Biden had no background in energy he was being paid more than $50,000 a
month and in some instances as much as $83,000 a month.
What about the most concerning connection for the Biden's with China's CEFC, an energy giant
that is compared to Goldman Sachs. It is directly connected to the Chinese Communist Party and
according to Bobulinski, as well as senior lawmakers investigating, possible used as leverage
against the Bidens by the communist government.
"Joe Biden and the Biden family are compromised" said Bobulinski in Tuesday night's hour
long interview with Carlson. He said he turned over evidence to the FBI and openly spoke about
his alleged meetings with then Vice President Joe Biden. Biden is referred to by his son Hunter
Biden in emails obtained by the FBI and first published by The New York Post as the 'Big Guy'
and or 'the Chairman.'
Bobulinski revealed that he "held a top-secret clearance from the NSA and the DOE. I served
this country for four years in one of the most elite environments in the world, the Naval
Nuclear Power Training Command, and to have a congressmen out there speaking about Russian
disinformation or Joe Biden at a public debate referencing Russian disinformation when he knows
he sat face-to-face with me, I traveled around the world with his son and his brother. To say
that and associate that with my name is absolutely disgusting to me ."
Joe Biden, however, has publicly denied having any financial gain from his son's, Hunter,
business ventures. He said at the second Presidential debate, "I have not taken a penny from
any foreign source ever in my life." However, Biden has refused to answer any questions
regarding the allegations or address some of the accusations against him or his son.
The American public has the right to know if their next president has been compromised by
their families business dealings with the communist Chinese. Moreover, many of the business
ventures his son was connected with were during his tenure as Vice President.
Our nation has been divided but not by President Trump. It's been divided by an army of
bureaucrats, liberal elites, the New Democratic socialists, special interests and more
importantly a biased partisan media.

Receive a daily recap featuring a curated list of must-read stories.
For now, Americans will be left in the dark. On Wednesday committee Chairman Sen. Ron
Johnson, R- WI, told The Daily Caller, that Bobulinski will not be called to testify before the
Nov. 3 elections. He said the committee is working to review all the information that has been
provided to the committee by Bobulinski.
The information has to be verified, as it is subject to the same false information to
Congress laws that verbal or written testimony does.
However, a Johnson spokesperson told the Caller that all the material provided by Bobulinski
to the committee is legitimate and verified .
The committee has "also" not come across any "signs" or evidence to suggest the content
Hunter Biden and Bobulinksi content is false , the spokesperson added.
It's tragic to think that if by chance – a small remote chance – that Biden
actually wins the election justice will never be served and our nation will fundamentally
change.
America will be at a crossroads on November 3. The main stream media is doing its part to
ensure that the American people are not informed, so it is up to you to vote your conscience
and seek out the truth.
Col. Leghorn CSA , 9 hours ago
I suggest enabling RICO charges against any media that conspires to hide the truth.
"... If you want a quick rundown of the Burisma op and Hunter's role in it, check out this 2019 report in the Wall Street Journal. This respectable news outlet might not have called what he did there as "corruption" or "graft," but that's exactly what it was: Hunter traded his dad's name and access for money. ..."
What's
truly scandalous about this whole Hunter thing is that it shows just how normalized elite
corruption is in our imperial society and how little anyone at the top cares.
Last week I stepped away from the Internet for 24 hours and came back to find the most
ridiculous thing took place: Twitter decided to just straight up censor a New York Post story that
weaponized Hunter Biden's boring rich kid degenerate life and his corrupt dealings in Ukraine.
This crude attempt at
censorship only inflamed interest in this obvious h
Glenn, was curious for your take on Yasha Levine's piece on the matter. As far as the
censorship angle goes, I think you are both in agreement, but as far as just how big a story
this really is, he seems to be a little more jaded. https://yasha.substack.com/p/yes-hunter-biden-is-corrupt-its-one
It's unclear at this point how much Joe knew about what was going on. For my part, I suspect
he knew but was not actually directing Hunter's activities. I actually also doubt that he has
any idea that a piece of the China deal was being held for him, if indeed it was.
That said, I think it is clear that he knew that Hunter was throwing the Biden name around
to gin up business deals and he didn't tell him to stop it.
I think it's also clear that the media in general is desperate to avoid any mention of the
story...which is, in my mind at least, the best argument to vote for Trump. A lapdog media is
no check on the crazy stuff that happens in DC
If you want a quick rundown of the Burisma op and Hunter's role in it, check out this
2019 report in the Wall Street Journal. This respectable news outlet might not have called what
he did there as "corruption" or "graft," but that's exactly what it was: Hunter traded his
dad's name and access for money.
So it's strange that people have been getting so worked up over this New York Post story.
Even if the emails end up being fake or some details were fudged, it's doesn't change anything
because they're riffing on something real. If Hunter hadn't sold his access to a Ukrainian
oligarch, there would be no story here -- fake emails or no. And that's what's truly scandalous
about this whole Hunter Biden thing: It shows just how normalized elite corruption is in our
imperial society and how little anyone at the top cares about it.
Watching liberals deflect this reality by screaming about some devious foreign plot to
subvert democracy well, it's hard to be shocked or outraged anymore. All you can do now is mock
it and laugh.
-- Yasha Levine
PS: Aside from all the other problems, screaming about "the Russians" every time Hunter's
corruption comes up is yet another example of the xenophobia and racism that's become totally
normalized among our liberal elite.
Each time I read about Hunter's scandal in Ukraine, I have to think of VP Joe Biden and his
family! They all, in this way, traded in VP Biden's name and position! So the real question is,
why is this behavior so widespread amongst these family members?! Honestly...without
cooperation from the VP, would that have happened to the degree it did?!
Let's see...."If you don't fire the prosecutor, you're not getting the one billion
dollars!"
Also, I see that you brushed on the fact that it might be corruption, but it's been
legalized: "But they also raise real questions about whether Joe Biden knew about and even
himself engaged in a form of legalized corruption."
So what Levine is saying is that - yeah it's bad, but it's not only legal - it's been going
on for years and across both parties.
from a purely political standpoint, the reason once credible liberal/mainstream sources seek
to suppress/malign right wing and conservative voices is simple: these voices would inform
policy as most americans would embrace those voices. most people want to hear tucker carlson
call looters...looters - especially when no one else is saying it. and want to see fair and
impartial handling of media. so every viewpoint is ignored, or derided...this isnt to say that
righwing voices are always correct - just that they appeal to a deep seated need that is
missing on the left: simplicity. not everything has to be analyzed to death. not everything has
shades of white supremacy. not everything reeks of...the list goes on and on. some things are
just simple. we need safety. we need a good economy. the truth is multiplex and evolving, and
not everything is just because a dark web of college educated journalist elitist say so. trump
and his supporters exist because of msm. they enabled him, they created this massive nationwide
gaslighting of simple straight forward policies and ideas that most people have held peacefully
for decades (like the fact that censorship is indeed bad). and if he wins, it'll be because of
the deeply corrupt media elites. and i hope he wins. they deserve it.
on this article, it looks like hunter did some shady stuff, but as for this story, it lacks
real credibility, and as a consumer of news in america, i'd ask the question why msm ran with
russiagate for 3 years with zero credible evidence but is silent now. the truth is simple. we
don't need to go further.
UPS has found
documents that went missing in transit to Tucker Carlson, putting to rest questions about the
whereabouts of a trove that the Fox News host had called "damning" of presidential candidate
Joe Biden's family.
"After an extensive search, we have found the contents of the package and are arranging
for its return," a UPS spokesman told the
Daily Beast on Thursday. "UPS will always focus first on our customers and will never
stop working to solve issues and make things right."
While the successful search resolved the issue of the documents' whereabouts, questions
remain about how they disappeared from a package sent to Carlson in California from a producer
in New York -- and who, if anyone, was behind it. Without naming the company involved or
specifically saying the papers were purposely targeted and stolen, Carlson suggested on his
show on Wednesday night that the disappearance wasn't coincidental.
"As of tonight, the [shipping] company has no idea and no working theory even about what
happened to this trove of material – documents that are directly relevant to the
presidential campaign just six days from now," Carlson said. The company's executives
"seemed baffled and deeply bothered by this, and so are we."
Carlson described the package as containing confidential documents about the Biden family
and said they were "authentic, real and damning." He said he asked a Fox producer in New
York to send the documents to him in Los Angeles, where he had traveled to interview former
Biden business associated
Tony Bobulinski on Tuesday. The package didn't show up on Tuesday morning, prompting UPS to
begin an exhaustive search.
Mainstream media critics mocked Carlson for saying the documents had disappeared, including
some who suggested that they never existed. HuffPost said Carlson "concocted yet another
conspiracy
theory " to explain the disappearance of documents related to what they called his
"conspiracy theory" about Biden's son, Hunter.
Carlson devoted his entire show on Tuesday night to the Bobulinski interview, which provided
more specific allegations about the Biden family's business dealings in China following an Oct.
14
New York Post report on the ventures. Although Bobulinski provided legal documents, text
messages and recordings to back up his claims, the interview was largely ignored by other
mainstream media outlets.
Tuesday night, we heard at length and on camera from one of the Biden family's former
business partners. His name is Tony Bobulinski. He's a very successful businessman and a Navy
veteran.
Bobulinski spoke to "Tucker Carlson Tonight" for a full hour. He told us he met two
separate times with Joe Biden himself. Not just with Joe
Biden's son or his brother, but with Joe Biden -- the former vice president and the man now
running for president -- to discuss business deals with the communist government of China .
That's a very serious claim, and whatever your political views, it's hard to dismiss it when
Tony Bobulinski makes it because Bobulinsky is an unusually credible witness. He's not a
partisan, he's not seeking money, he's not seeking publicity. He did not want to come on our
show.
But when Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and the Biden campaign accused Tony Bobulinski of
participating in a Russian disinformation effort, he felt he had no choice. That was a slander
against him and against his family. So Bobulinski came to us. He arrived with heaps of evidence
to bolster the story he was telling. He brought contemporaneous audio recordings, text
messages, e-mails, many financial documents.
By the end of the hour, it was very clear to us that Tony Bobulinski was telling the truth
and that Joe Biden was lying. We believe that any honest person who watched the entire hour
would come to the same conclusion.
Well, on Wednesday, a
Senate committee confirmed it . The Senate Homeland Security Committee reported that all of
Tony Bobulinski's documents are, in fact, real. They are authentic. They are not forgeries.
This is not Russian disinformation. It is real.
Bobulinski told a remarkable story. Joe Biden -- who, once again, could be president of the
United States next week, was planning business deals with America's most formidable global
opponent. And when he was caught doing it, Joe Biden lied. And then he went further. He
slandered an innocent man as a traitor to his own country. It is clear that Joe Biden did that.
That's not a partisan talking point uttered in bad faith on behalf of another presidential
campaign. It's true.
So the question is, what is Joe Biden's excuse for doing that? What is his version of this
story? Everyone has a version and we'd like to hear it, but we don't know what Joe Biden's
version of the story is, because no one in America's vast media landscape has pressed Joe Biden
to answer the question. Instead, reporters at all levels and their editors and their publishers
have openly collaborated with Joe Biden's political campaign. That is unprecedented. It has
never happened in American history.
Wednesday morning, the big papers completely ignored what Tony Bobulinski had to say. So did
the other television networks. Not a single word about Bobulinski appeared on CNN or anywhere
else. Newsweek decided to cover it, but came to the conclusion that the real story was about
QAnon somehow. This is Soviet-style suppression of information about a legitimate news story.
Days before an election, the ramifications of it are impossible to imagine. But we do know the
media cannot continue in the way that it has.
No one believes the media anymore and no one should. You should be offended by this, not
because the media are liberal, but because this is an attack on our democracy. You've heard
that phrase again and again, but this is what it looks like. In a self-governing country,
voters have a right -- an obligation -- to know who they're voting for. In this case, they have
the right to know the Democratic nominee for president was a willing partner in his family's
lucrative influence-peddling operation, an operation that went on for decades and stretched
from China and Ukraine all the way to Oman, Romania, Luxembourg and many other countries. This
is not speculation once again, and it's not a partisan attack. It's true, and Tony bobulinski
confirmed it.
Bobulinski met with Joe Biden at a hotel bar in Los Angeles in early May of 2017, and when
he did, Joe Biden's son introduced Bobulinski this way: "Dad. Here's the individual I told you
about that's helping us with the business that we're working on and the Chinese."
Now, written documents confirmed this is real. At one point, Joe Biden's son texted Tony
Bobulinski to say that Joe Biden, his father, was making key decisions about their business
deals with China.
CARLSON: When Hunter Biden said his chairman, he was talking about his dad.
BOBULINSKI: Correct, and what Hunter is referencing there is, he spoke with his father
and his father is giving an emphatic 'no' to the ask that I had, which was putting proper
governance in place around Oneida Holdings.
CARLSON: So, Joe Biden is vetoing your plan for putting stricter governance in the
company. I mean, and it's it's right here in the email.
BOBULINSKI: Yes, Tucker, I want to be very careful in front of the American people. That
is not me writing that. That is not me claiming that. That is Hunter Biden writing on his own
phone. Typing in that 'I spoke with my chairman,' referencing his father.
All this is spelled out in the clearest possible language in documents that Bobulinski
provided us, documents that subsequently federal authorities have authenticated as real.
On May 13, 2017, for example, Hunter Biden got an email explaining how his family would be
paid for their deal with the Chinese energy company. His father, Joe Biden, was getting
10%.
BOBULINSKI: In that email, there's a statement where they go through the equity, Jim Biden's
referenced as, you know, 10%. It doesn't say Biden, it says Jim. And then it has 10% for the
big guy held by H. I 1,000% sit here and know that the big guy is referencing Joe Biden. It's,
that's crystal clear to me because I lived it. I met with the former vice president in person
multiple times.
That was three years ago, and we still don't know where all that money went, because the
media haven't forced Joe Biden to tell us. But Tony, Bobulinski did add a telling detail. Joe
Biden's brother, Jim, saw his stake in the deal double from 10% to 20%. Was Jim Biden getting
his brother's share again? It might be worth finding out.
We also know that according to an email from a top Chinese official, this one written on
July 26, 2017, the Chinese proposed a $5 million dollar interest-free loan to the Biden family,
"based on their trust on [sic] BD [Biden] family." The e-mail continued, "Should this Chinese
company, CEFC, keep lending more to the family?" And indeed, CEFC was supposed to send another
$5 million dollars to the Bidens' business ventures. Apparently, that money never made it to
the business. Where did it go? A recent Senate report suggests it went to Hunter Biden
directly. And from there, who knows? Again, no one's asked.
Tony Bobulinski also told us he learned Hunter Biden became the personal attorney to the
chairman of CEFC, Ye Jianming, just as they were tendering 14% of a Russian state-owned energy
company. That was a deal valued at $9 billion dollars. It's pretty sleazy. It's pretty amazing,
actually, that this happened and no one noticed.
We're not going to spend the next six months leading you through a maze of complex financial
transactions. This isn't that complicated: Millions of dollars linked directly to the Communist
Party of China went to Joe Biden's family, and not because they're capable businessmen. Jim
Biden's one business success appears to have been running a nightclub in Delaware that
ultimately went under.
No, the Bidens were cut in on the world's most lucrative business deals, massive
infrastructure deals in countries around the world for one reason: Because Joe Biden was a
powerful government official willing to leverage his power on behalf of his family.
Now, if that's not a crime, it's very close to a crime and it's certainly something every
person voting should know about. The Bidens didn't do this once. They did it for decades. So
the question is, how did they get away with it for so long? Tony Bobulinski asked Jim Biden
that question directly. To his credit Jim Biden answered that question honestly.
BOBULINSKI: And I remember looking at Jim Biden and saying, 'How are you guys getting
away with this?' Like, 'Aren't you concerned?' And he looked at me and he laughed a little bit
and said, 'Plausible deniability.'
CARLSON: He said that out loud.
BOBULINSKI: Yes, he said it directly to me. One on one, in a cabana at the Peninsula
Hotel.
"Plausible deniability." In other words, "we lie." We get away with selling access to the
U.S. government, which we do not own, because we lie about what we're doing. And as we lie, we
try to make those lies plausible. That's why we call it "plausible deniability." That is the
answer that Joe Biden's brother gave when asked directly.
So the question is, what is Joe Biden's answer to that question? We wish we
knew.
ForFoxSake!!! 1 hour ago Everything that is happening right now is because Trump was
right about the swamp, the media, and the ruling class families who have been selling out
America for decades. ohhappyday657 1 hour ago Tucker is doing this country a great service. The
FBI doesn't seem to want to engage. Mr. Bobulinski is a patriot and we are lucky he came
forward. The Bidens need to be called out for their high crimes and misdemeanors. Joe should be

You can smell the desperation on the Trump supporters. The lies, the distortions and the
grasping, pathetic search for the proverbial Hail Mary to salvage the quickly sinking ship. If
Mr. Bobulinski is the best you have the Democrats will 'trump' you with: 227,000 dead
Americans, close to 9 million more infected and an economy in tatters. The day of reckoning is
approaching and a dozen Bobulinskis won't change that. Trump and his unseemly administration
are doomed.
On Tuesday night, Tucker Carlson did something he'd never done before: he dedicated his
entire show to a single interview. The person he interviewed was Tony Bobulinski, an
experienced international businessman who found himself working with Hunter Biden, James Biden,
and others on a deal between the Biden group and CEFC, a Chinese energy company with ties to
the communist government and the military. Bobulinski powerfully confirms that Joe Biden was
deeply involved in the transaction, which had its beginnings when Joe was still vice
president.
Fox News has not yet uploaded (and may never upload) the interview in its entirety. However,
the four videos below bring together almost everything from the interview.
Tucker opened by making the point that he was dedicating his show to the Bobulinski
interview because the rest of the American media are assiduously ignoring the story,
downplaying it, or claiming it's a Russian smear. The leader of the Russian smear approach is,
naturally, Rep. Adam Schiff, a man who has all the hallmarks of a conscienceless psychopath.
Ironically, it was Schiff's smear about Hunter Biden's hard drive that led Bobulinski, a
Democrat, to go public with his story.
If you can't watch the interview, here's a brief overview:
Bobulinksi is a former naval officer with a Q clearance. That's an extremely high clearance
level for people working in the Department of Energy -- and Bobulinski worked in the Navy's
nuclear program. He comes from a military family and is very proud of that legacy.
After leaving the Navy, Bobulinski became an international businessman. His expertise led to
Hunter Biden and his people wooing Bobulinski to give them the business expertise they needed
to get their partnership up and running.
The partnership, SinoHawk, was intended to bring together CEFC and the Biden family. Both
Hunter and James Biden, after all, brought nothing to the table other than their last name and,
with it, the promise that China would have access to political influence at the highest level
of American government.
Bobulinski's name recently became public knowledge when James Gilliar, another businessman
working on SinoHawk, sent an email to Tony Bobulinski, setting out the terms Gilliar had been
negotiating with CEFC. What caught everyone's interest was the statement that Hunter would hold
"10[%] for the Big Guy." Bobulinski confirmed that Joe Biden was the "Big Guy."
At this point, Schiff, the media, and Joe Biden, none of whom ever denied the legitimacy of
the email, claimed that the whole thing was a Russian smear. This unfounded accusation got
Bobulinski's dander up. As a naval officer from a military family and a true patriot, being
smeared as a Russian agent was beyond the pale.
Bobulinski demanded that Schiff retract the insult, and when Schiff failed to do so, he went
public and did a full document dump. Bobulinski had saved everything -- every document, every
email, and every text.
That's the quick background to the interview with Carlson, during which Bobulinski said
that
Hunter and James Biden brought nothing to the deal other than the Biden family name.
What China wanted was the Biden family name.
Joe Biden was involved in the business deal, so much so that he had veto power over
negotiations.
In 2017, Bobulinski met Joe Biden twice when the Biden side of SinoHawk was courting him
to step in and act as CEO.
Bobulinski also spoke at length with James Biden, Joe's brother.
When Bobulinski asked James how they could get away with this kind of deal, which seemed
to be falling into dangerous territory, given that Joe could run again for president, James
announced, "Plausible deniability."
The Biden group stiffed Bobulinski, leaving him out of pocket for all his expenses while
channeling CEFC's money into another entity that did not involve Bobulinski.
If we had a decent media establishment, this story would be on every front page and at the
top of every news hour. Instead, Bobulinski is trying desperately to get Americans to know that
he is not a Russian agent and that Joe Biden was in bed with the communist Chinese government,

We've always known that Joe Biden is an odd bird. Just think of the lies, the egotistical
boasting, the offers to fight people, the skinny-dipping, and the way he fondles and sniffs
little girls. He is a genuinely creepy man.
It speaks volumes about Washington, D.C. and the Democrat party that Joe spent 47 years in
the swamp and rose to the second highest office in the land. What we've learned now, though,
irrefutably and without any Russian hokum, is that Joe Biden is also a profoundly corrupt man
who willingly sold out America and her allies to enrich himself and his sleazy, incompetent
family.
Fox News has not yet uploaded (and may never upload) the interview in its entirety. However,
the four videos below bring together almost everything from the interview.
Tucker opened by making the point that he was dedicating his show to the Bobulinski
interview because the rest of the American media are assiduously ignoring the story,
downplaying it, or claiming it's a Russian smear. The leader of the Russian smear approach is,
naturally, Rep. Adam Schiff, a man who has all the hallmarks of a conscienceless psychopath.
Ironically, it was Schiff's smear about Hunter Biden's hard drive that led Bobulinski, a
Democrat, to go public with his story.
If you can't watch the interview, here's a brief overview:
Bobulinksi is a former naval officer with a Q clearance. That's an extremely high clearance
level for people working in the Department of Energy -- and Bobulinski worked in the Navy's
nuclear program. He comes from a military family and is very proud of that legacy.
After leaving the Navy, Bobulinski became an international businessman. His expertise led to
Hunter Biden and his people wooing Bobulinski to give them the business expertise they needed
to get their partnership up and running.
The partnership, SinoHawk, was intended to bring together CEFC and the Biden family. Both
Hunter and James Biden, after all, brought nothing to the table other than their last name and,
with it, the promise that China would have access to political influence at the highest level
of American government.
Bobulinski's name recently became public knowledge when James Gilliar, another businessman
working on SinoHawk, sent an email to Tony Bobulinski, setting out the terms Gilliar had been
negotiating with CEFC. What caught everyone's interest was the statement that Hunter would hold
"10[%] for the Big Guy." Bobulinski confirmed that Joe Biden was the "Big Guy."
At this point, Schiff, the media, and Joe Biden, none of whom ever denied the legitimacy of
the email, claimed that the whole thing was a Russian smear. This unfounded accusation got
Bobulinski's dander up. As a naval officer from a military family and a true patriot, being
smeared as a Russian agent was beyond the pale.
Bobulinski demanded that Schiff retract the insult, and when Schiff failed to do so, he went
public and did a full document dump. Bobulinski had saved everything -- every document, every
email, and every text.
That's the quick background to the interview with Carlson, during which Bobulinski said

In the aftermath of the widespread blowback amid Apollo clients, many of whom
have frozen their new capital allocations to the private equity giant in
response to recent reports that co-founder Leon Black had paid "suicided" pedophile Jeffrey
Epstein $50 million after he was released from jail, during a conference call on Thursday
morning discussing Apollo's third-quarter results, Black said he regretted doing business with
sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, even though other prominent people had done the same.
"Like many people I respected, I decided to give Epstein a second chance," Black said
Thursday during a conference call to discuss Apollo's third-quarter results.
"This was a terrible mistake", the former Drexel banker added pointing out the obvious,
although it still remains unclear just what "second chance" services Epstein provided to Black
that was worth a whopping $50 million in compensation, but we are confident we will find out
soon enough.
And in what may be the greatest example of "whataboutism" in modern history, Black said that
Epstein worked with many prominent individuals after he was released from jail, and that "the
distinguished reputations of these individuals gave me misplaced comfort."
In other words, if everyone is going to "picnics" on Epstein's underage girl island in their
private jets, it's all cool.
Laughably, Black - who is surrounded by the most brilliant financial minds of his generation
24/7 - has said he sought advice from Epstein for matters such as taxes, estate planning and
philanthropy.
Apollo hired law firm Dechert LLP to conduct a review that's expected to take 60 to 90 days,
according to people familiar with the matter.
That said, we doubt their reputations will be just as "distinguished" once it emerges just
what "services" underage girls Epstein was providing them.
Also on the call we learned that despite the posturing, Apollo's clients were not really
turned off by the ongoing scandal, and the PE giant raised another $4 billion in the third
quarter even though it expects fundraising to slow, co-founder Joshua Harris said on the
call.
October 28, 2020 Tucker Carlson's interview with Tony Bobulinski is must-see TV By
Andrea
Widburg
On Tuesday night, Tucker Carlson did something he'd never done before: he dedicated his
entire show to a single interview. The person he interviewed was Tony Bobulinski, an
experienced international businessman who found himself working with Hunter Biden, James Biden,
and others on a deal between the Biden group and CEFC, a Chinese energy company with ties to
the communist government and the military. Bobulinski powerfully confirms that Joe Biden was
deeply involved in the transaction, which had its beginnings when Joe was still vice
president.
Fox News has not yet uploaded (and may never upload) the interview in its entirety. However,
the four videos below bring together almost everything from the interview.
Tucker opened by making the point that he was dedicating his show to the Bobulinski

A collection of confidential documents related to the Biden family mysteriously vanished
from an envelope sent to Fox News host Tucker Carlson , the host said on
Wednesday night.
Carlson's team allegedly received the documents from a source on Monday. At the time,
Carlson was on the West Coast filming an interview with Tony Bobulinski, the former business
partner of Hunter Biden and James Biden. Carlson requested the documents to be sent to the West
Coast.
According to Carlson, the producer shipped the documents overnight to California using a
large national package carrier. He didn't name the company, saying only that it's a "brand name
company."
"The Biden documents never arrived in Los Angeles. Tuesday morning we received word from our
shipping company that our package had been opened and the contents were missing," Carlson said.
"The documents had disappeared."
The company took the incident seriously and immediately began a search, Carlson said. The
company traced the package from when it was dropped off in New York to the moment when an
employee at a sorting facility reported that the package was opened and empty.
" The company's security team interviewed every employee who touched the envelope we sent.
They searched the plane and the trucks that carried it. They went through the office in New
York where our producers dropped the package off. They combed the entire cavernous sorting
facility. They used pictures of what we had sent so that searchers would know what to look
for," Carlson said.
"They far and beyond, but they found nothing."
"Those documents have vanished," he added.
"As of tonight, the company has no idea and no working theory even about what happened to
this trove of materials, documents that are directly relevant to the presidential campaign
just six days from now."
Executives at the shipping company were "baffled" and "deeply bothered" by the incident,
Carlson said.
Carlson's interview with Bobulinski aired on Tuesday night. In the interview, Bobulinski
opined that Joe Biden
and the Biden family are compromised by China due to the business dealings of Hunter Biden and
James Biden. Joe Biden has not publicly responded to Bobulinski's allegations, but during a
presidential debate on Oct. 22 said he had "not taken a penny from any foreign source ever in
my life."

Bobulinski provided more than 1,700 pages of emails and more than 600 screenshots of text
messages to Senate investigators and handed over to the FBI the smartphones he used during his
business dealings with the Bidens. The documents detailed a failed joint venture between a
billionaire tied to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and a company owned by Hunter Biden,
James Biden, Bobulinski and two other partners.
While the corporate documents don't mention Biden by name, emails sent between the partners
suggest that either James Biden or Hunter Biden held a 10 percent stake for the former vice
president. In the email, the stake is assigned to "the big guy," who Bobulinski says is Joe
Biden.

I heard Tucker talk about this earlier tonight and realized we are FULLY controlled now.
Whatever the **** is going on, whether this is true or not doesn't matter. We are just
unwitting participants in some kind of TV reality show now. Everything is meaningless.
lwilland1012 , 5 minutes ago
Please tell me he was smart enough to make copies...
CatInTheHat , 1 minute ago
Ok.
What was IN the documents and from whom?
This is an inside job. Probably a never Trumper at Fox. There are a few.
quanttech , 3 minutes ago
If Trump loses, Fox will go full Dem. Trump will start TrumpTV, and Tucker will need a
job....
btw, Tucker should get the Nobel Peace Prize for keeping us out of Iran for the last 3.5
years.
Nona Yobiznes , 4 minutes ago
This story doesn't make sense. You sent confidential, highly sensitive documents via post?
Because Tucker was on the west coast? You couldn't scan them in? Were they originals, and are
there copies? This doesn't smell right.
icolbowca , 6 minutes ago
Takes a special kind of moron to send something like that via mail...
"... Biden's campaign earlier this month said Biden never had a meeting with an executive at a shady Ukrainian gas company, Burisma Holdings, while he was the vice president and his son sat on the board of the firm. A report from the New York Post, citing alleged Hunter Biden emails, suggested Hunter Biden had arranged a meeting between him, the executive, and Joe Biden. ..."
Delivery giant UPS
confirmed Thursday it found a lost trove of documents that Fox News' Tucker Carlson said would
provide revelations in the ever-growing scandal involving Joe Biden 's son Hunter and his overseas
business dealings.
UPS Senior Public Relations Manager Matthew O'Connor told Business Insider on Thursday
afternoon that the documents are located and are being sent to Carlson.
"After an extensive search, we have found the contents of the package and are arranging
for its return," he said in a statement.
"UPS will always focus first on our customers, and will never stop working to solve issues
and make things right. We work hard to ensure every package is delivered, including essential
goods, precious family belongings and critical healthcare."
It came after Glenn Zaccara, UPS's corporate media relations director, confirmed Carlson
used the company to ship the materials before they were lost.
"The package was reported with missing contents as it moved within our network," Zaccara
said before they were located. "UPS is conducting an urgent investigation."
During his Wednesday night broadcast, Carlson said that a UPS employee notified them that
their package "was open and empty apparently, it had been opened."
"The Biden documents never arrived in Los Angeles. Tuesday morning we received word from
our shipping company that our package had been opened and the contents were missing," Carlson
also remarked. "The documents had disappeared."
On Tuesday night, Carlson interviewed former Hunter Biden associate Tony Bobulinski, who
claimed that the former Democratic vice president could be compromised by the Chinese Communist
Party due to Hunter and brother James Biden's business dealings in the country.
Joe Biden has not responded to Bobulinski's allegations. Last week during his debate with
President Donald Trump, he said he had "not taken a penny from any foreign source ever in my
life."
Biden's campaign earlier this month said Biden never had a meeting with an executive at a
shady Ukrainian gas company, Burisma Holdings, while he was the vice president and his son sat
on the board of the firm. A report from the New York Post, citing alleged Hunter Biden emails,
suggested Hunter Biden had arranged a meeting between him, the executive, and Joe Biden.
It's now possible that a special counsel will investigate Joe Biden should he win the
presidency.
"You know, I am not a big fan of special counsels, but if Joe Biden wins the presidency, I
don't see how you avoid one," Senate Homeland Security Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.)
said . "Otherwise, this is going to be, you know, tucked away, and we will never know
what happened. All this evidence is going to be buried."
UPS did not provide further details about the apparent mishap.
"... Hunter Biden is the modern equivalent of the pre-Reformation papacy selling indulgences. Cash in exchange for unfettered passage into the promised land ..."
"Former Biden insider Tony Bobulinski allegedly has a recording of Biden family operatives
begging him to stay quiet , or he will "bury" the reputations of everyone involved in Hunter's
overseas dealings.
According to The Federalist 's Sean Davis, Bobulinski will play the tape on Fox News'
"Tucker Carlson Tonight" on Tuesday , when Carlson will devote his show 'entirely' to an
interview with the Biden whistleblower."
"According to a source familiar with the planning, Bobulinski will play recordings of Biden
family operatives begging him to stay quiet and claiming Bobulinski's revelations will "bury"
the reputations of everyone involved in Hunter's overseas deals."
As The Federalist notes:
The Federalist confirmed with sources familiar with the plans that Bobulinski, a retired
Navy lieutenant and Biden associate, will be airing tapes of Biden operatives begging
Bobulinski to remain quiet as former Vice President Joe Biden nears the finish line to the
White House next week.
Bobulinski
flipped on the Bidens following a Senate report which revealed that they received a $5
million interest-free loan from a now-bankrupt Chinese energy company .
According to the former Biden insider, he was introduced to Joe Biden by Hunter, and they
had an hour-long meeting where they discussed the Biden's business plans with the Chinese, with
which he says Joe was "plainly familiar at least at a high level." " Zerohedge

First of all, Bobulinski is NOT a "retired Navy lieutenant." He is a former Navy
Lieutenant.
Well, folks, it's up to you to watch TC's show tonight if you want to learn about this.
Tucker's show is the most watched news show in the history of cable television, so the pain
should not be too great, pl
I don't watch cable TV so I'll have to depend on the objectivity of observers. I'll be
curious who / what is a "family operative"? are they traceable like a military
chain-of-command?
in related news, we can get a fix on the play between private / public behaviors & the
pace of Justice winding.
Tucker Carlson's show is my favorite news/commentary show. I try not to miss it. Because
of the fact that he seems to try hard to verify his sources--and the people he interviews, I
trust him. He also tries to provide guests from the left in an attempt to be fair.
He's definitely not a Hannity, who is the one who turns many off of FOX (though Hannity
comes right after Tucker).
Hunter Biden is the modern equivalent of the pre-Reformation papacy selling
indulgences. Cash in exchange for unfettered passage into the promised land .
Thank goodness the Federal Judge has allowed the lawsuit by the private citizen and
writer, based on the 1990s allegation, to procede without government interference. I'm sure
nobody will do that to democrats in the future. Meanwhile in the Flynn case the DOJ confirms
that the govenment documents and discovery exhibits are ture and correct. I'm sure Judge
Sullivan will procede expeditiously with granting the unopposed motion to dismiss that
case.
This story interests me because I believe he is the first to leave the sinking ship but
not the last.
There would be no reason for this if he thought Joe would win and the investigation would be
snuffed out.
If Trump wins there will most likely be a new version of "Let's Make A Deal" being aired on
the nightly news.
I am down to one package of popcorn. I need to restock.
Actually, indulgences were more akin to BitCoins. Especially after 1567, when His Holiness
the Pope finally officially banned them... but they had been still produced and sold in large
quantities. In France only Richeliue put a stop to this con.
Serve me my plate a Crow. Maybe.
He is saying now that he is 2nd generation military and that they pissed him off claiming he
was a Russian asset.
That is plausible.
Maybe it is both?
Regardless it seems he has a great deal of proof.
I was convinced during the interview. Bobulinsky seemed pretty convincing in his concern
for his own reputation, having been associated with the Biden "Mafia" in the first place.
It was clear during the interview that he had provided Tucker verification for his
claims.
I am more concerned that this revelation comes too late and that many, many people have
voted early. He referenced some hearings that will be held in Congress. I doubt that will
affect the election, given the slow pace of anything getting done in Congress. I voted early,
but I am not personally concerned because I did NOT vote for Biden; however, I am concerned
that those who voted early for Biden could not now change their votes.
SO, if I understand the situation correctly, Bobulinski was essentially sought after, used
and then screwed by the Bidens, which seems risky on the part of the clan. But I guess if Joe
wins the election, they will have gotten away with it as I can't imagine, in spite of any
damning evidence, the Bidens will suffer the same punishing rectal examination-like scrutiny
and vilification the Trump family's been subjected to.
Col Lang,
Hoping you write about your assessment of B and what he had to say.
I found him to be generally credible. All of his motives for singing largely make sense to
me. I think he's a patriot. Some good supporting evidence. He's sharp. I liked him. He's the
kind of guy I'd enjoy working with.
I don't know anything about the realm of international deal making and finance. I'm
wondering how a Navy O3 works his way to enjoying yachts in Monaco while making $millions. Is
he an Annapolis guy? Tight with the right classmates? Not a lot to be found on him via
Google.
He was no longer in the navy when he was messing around with the Biden familia. He was
probably in the Navy three or four years. He ought to lay off on that. I'll think it over
tonight.
Once Wray's FBI gets done with the Rusty Wallace Noose Case they'll have time to deep dive
the laptop he's had for almost a year.
Col.,
Bobulinski seemed awful polished during that interview. Almost too good to be true. Hunter
being a druggy and Burisma payments being real certainly lend an air to credibility.
Turns out Patrick Ho Hunters partner in CEFC had a FISA warrant on him when he was nabbed
in New York awhile back. His first call was to Hunter to seek legal advice and Hunter
represented him. So them scumbags in the FBI have been sitting on this for awhile and will
use it on Joe (if elected) when needed. Must be modus operandi at the FBI in gathering dirt
on all politicians via FISA's, Hoover is still there.
As with all of us Bobulinski is not lily white but is making an effort to clean his act and
those around him. Lily White always comes in degrees. Not much in the NY Times, Wash Post or
WSJ this morning but the WSJ deserves a little credit with McBurn's editorial.
Bobulinski obviously comes from a military family thus his harping on his Navy creds. Guess
when your in that much sunshine you fall back strongly on anything available.
I don't doubt his credibility and it's good that he at least got on Tucker Carlson to
provide some much needed answers, but he's not a known quantity and I have hard time
imagining his revelations will change minds.
I think the FBI sandbagging the whole affair is what holds back this story getting the
attention it deserves from the public. The president I'm sorry to say has been badly served
by Wray, Haspel, and company. I think he should have replaced them months ago and waiting
until reelection to do it may have been a mistake.
Tuesday night, we heard at length and on camera from one of the Biden family's former
business partners. His name is Tony Bobulinski. He's a very successful businessman and a Navy
veteran.
Bobulinski spoke to "Tucker Carlson Tonight" for a full hour. He told us he met two separate
times with Joe
Biden himself. Not just with Joe Biden's son or his brother, but with Joe Biden -- the
former vice president and the man now running for president -- to discuss business deals with
the communist government of China .
That's a very serious claim, and whatever your political views, it's hard to dismiss it when
Tony Bobulinski makes it because Bobulinsky is an unusually credible witness. He's not a
partisan, he's not seeking money, he's not seeking publicity. He did not want to come on our
show.
But when Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and the Biden campaign accused Tony Bobulinski of
participating in a Russian disinformation effort, he felt he had no choice. That was a slander
against him and against his family. So Bobulinski came to us. He arrived with heaps of evidence
to bolster the story he was telling. He brought contemporaneous audio recordings, text
messages, e-mails, many financial documents.
By the end of the hour, it was very clear to us that Tony Bobulinski was telling the truth
and that Joe Biden was lying. We believe that any honest person who watched the entire hour
would come to the same conclusion.
Well, on Wednesday, a
Senate committee confirmed it . The Senate Homeland Security Committee reported that all of
Tony Bobulinski's documents are, in fact, real. They are authentic. They are not forgeries.
This is not Russian disinformation. It is real.
Bobulinski told a remarkable story. Joe Biden -- who, once again, could be president of the
United States next week, was planning business deals with America's most formidable global
opponent. And when he was caught doing it, Joe Biden lied. And then he went further. He
slandered an innocent man as a traitor to his own country. It is clear that Joe Biden did that.
That's not a partisan talking point uttered in bad faith on behalf of another presidential
campaign. It's true.
So the question is, what is Joe Biden's excuse for doing that? What is his version of this
story? Everyone has a version and we'd like to hear it, but we don't know what Joe Biden's
version of the story is, because no one in America's vast media landscape has pressed Joe Biden
to answer the question. Instead, reporters at all levels and their editors and their publishers
have openly collaborated with Joe Biden's political campaign. That is unprecedented. It has
never happened in American history.
Wednesday morning, the big papers completely ignored what Tony Bobulinski had to say. So did
the other television networks. Not a single word about Bobulinski appeared on CNN or anywhere
else. Newsweek decided to cover it, but came to the conclusion that the real story was about
QAnon somehow. This is Soviet-style suppression of information about a legitimate news story.
Days before an election, the ramifications of it are impossible to imagine. But we do know the
media cannot continue in the way that it has.
No one believes the media anymore and no one should. You should be offended by this, not
because the media are liberal, but because this is an attack on our democracy. You've heard
that phrase again and again, but this is what it looks like. In a self-governing country,
voters have a right -- an obligation -- to know who they're voting for. In this case, they have
the right to know the Democratic nominee for president was a willing partner in his family's
lucrative influence-peddling operation, an operation that went on for decades and stretched
from China and Ukraine all the way to Oman, Romania, Luxembourg and many other countries. This
is not speculation once again, and it's not a partisan attack. It's true, and Tony bobulinski
confirmed it.
Bobulinski met with Joe Biden at a hotel bar in Los Angeles in early May of 2017, and when
he did, Joe Biden's son introduced Bobulinski this way: "Dad. Here's the individual I told you
about that's helping us with the business that we're working on and the Chinese."
Now, written documents confirmed this is real. At one point, Joe Biden's son texted Tony
Bobulinski to say that Joe Biden, his father, was making key decisions about their business
deals with China.
CARLSON: When Hunter Biden said his chairman, he was talking about his dad.
BOBULINSKI: Correct, and what Hunter is referencing there is, he spoke with his father
and his father is giving an emphatic 'no' to the ask that I had, which was putting proper
governance in place around Oneida Holdings.
CARLSON: So, Joe Biden is vetoing your plan for putting stricter governance in the
company. I mean, and it's it's right here in the email.
BOBULINSKI: Yes, Tucker, I want to be very careful in front of the American people. That
is not me writing that. That is not me claiming that. That is Hunter Biden writing on his own
phone. Typing in that 'I spoke with my chairman,' referencing his father.
All this is spelled out in the clearest possible language in documents that Bobulinski
provided us, documents that subsequently federal authorities have authenticated as real.
On May 13, 2017, for example, Hunter Biden got an email explaining how his family would be
paid for their deal with the Chinese energy company. His father, Joe Biden, was getting
10%.
BOBULINSKI: In that email, there's a statement where they go through the equity, Jim Biden's
referenced as, you know, 10%. It doesn't say Biden, it says Jim. And then it has 10% for the
big guy held by H. I 1,000% sit here and know that the big guy is referencing Joe Biden. It's,
that's crystal clear to me because I lived it. I met with the former vice president in person
multiple times.
That was three years ago, and we still don't know where all that money went, because the
media haven't forced Joe Biden to tell us. But Tony, Bobulinski did add a telling detail. Joe
Biden's brother, Jim, saw his stake in the deal double from 10% to 20%. Was Jim Biden getting
his brother's share again? It might be worth finding out.
We also know that according to an email from a top Chinese official, this one written on
July 26, 2017, the Chinese proposed a $5 million dollar interest-free loan to the Biden family,
"based on their trust on [sic] BD [Biden] family." The e-mail continued, "Should this Chinese
company, CEFC, keep lending more to the family?" And indeed, CEFC was supposed to send another
$5 million dollars to the Bidens' business ventures. Apparently, that money never made it to
the business. Where did it go? A recent Senate report suggests it went to Hunter Biden
directly. And from there, who knows? Again, no one's asked.
Tony Bobulinski also told us he learned Hunter Biden became the personal attorney to the
chairman of CEFC, Ye Jianming, just as they were tendering 14% of a Russian state-owned energy
company. That was a deal valued at $9 billion dollars. It's pretty sleazy. It's pretty amazing,
actually, that this happened and no one noticed.
We're not going to spend the next six months leading you through a maze of complex financial
transactions. This isn't that complicated: Millions of dollars linked directly to the Communist
Party of China went to Joe Biden's family, and not because they're capable businessmen. Jim
Biden's one business success appears to have been running a nightclub in Delaware that
ultimately went under.
No, the Bidens were cut in on the world's most lucrative business deals, massive
infrastructure deals in countries around the world for one reason: Because Joe Biden was a
powerful government official willing to leverage his power on behalf of his family.
Now, if that's not a crime, it's very close to a crime and it's certainly something every
person voting should know about. The Bidens didn't do this once. They did it for decades. So
the question is, how did they get away with it for so long? Tony Bobulinski asked Jim Biden
that question directly. To his credit Jim Biden answered that question honestly.
BOBULINSKI: And I remember looking at Jim Biden and saying, 'How are you guys getting
away with this?' Like, 'Aren't you concerned?' And he looked at me and he laughed a little bit
and said, 'Plausible deniability.'
CARLSON: He said that out loud.
BOBULINSKI: Yes, he said it directly to me. One on one, in a cabana at the Peninsula
Hotel.
"Plausible deniability." In other words, "we lie." We get away with selling access to the
U.S. government, which we do not own, because we lie about what we're doing. And as we lie, we
try to make those lies plausible. That's why we call it "plausible deniability." That is the
answer that Joe Biden's brother gave when asked directly.
So the question is, what is Joe Biden's answer to that question? We wish we
knew.

You can smell the desperation on the Trump supporters. The lies, the distortions and the
grasping, pathetic search for the proverbial Hail Mary to salvage the quickly sinking ship. If
Mr. Bobulinski is the best you have the Democrats will 'trump' you with: 227,000 dead
Americans, close to 9 million more infected and an economy in tatters. The day of reckoning is
approaching and a dozen Bobulinskis won't change that. Trump and his unseemly administration
are doomed.
" ... the former CEO of SinoHawk Holdings, which he said was the partnership between the
CEFC Chairman Ye Jianming and the two Biden family members.
"I remember saying, 'How are you guys getting away with this?' 'Aren't you concerned?'" he
told Carlson.
He claims that Jim Biden chuckled.
"'Plausible Deniability,' he said it directly to me in a cabana at the Peninsula Hotel," he
said.
In the interview, he outlines how an alleged meeting with Joe Biden took place on May 2,
2017.
Fox News first reported text messages that indicated such a meeting. Bobulinski said that
it was the Bidens, not him, who had pushed the meeting.
"They were sort of wining and dining me and presenting the strength of the Biden family to
get me engaged and to take on the CEO role to develop SinoHawk in the U.S. and around the world
in partnership with CEFC," he said.
He went at length into how Joe Biden arrived for a Milken conference, partly held at the
Beverly Hilton Hotel, and how he was introduced by Jim and Hunter Biden to the former vice
president.
"I didn't request to meet with Joe" Biden, he said. "They requested that I meet with Joe
[Biden ]. They were putting their entire family legacy on the line. They knew exactly what they
were doing."" FN

Bobulinski is a successful international business hustler. I know the type well. The Biden
familia wanted him in this China deal for the purpose of having him hold the reins of this
enterprise even as they looted it for the purpose of quickly enriching the fam.
A TV commentator remarked last night after watching the interview that this defection from
the Biden camp is reflective of an old business truth which can be stated as "don't screw your
partner if he has enough material to sink you."
I am unimpressed with selfless patriotism as Bobu's most basic motivation in sticking it to
Joe, Jimmy and Hunter Biden. A sense of betrayal in a business deal wrecked by the Bidens'
overwhelming greed and their desire to consolidate family riches as fast as they could is a
more plausible. motivation.
This does not mean that Bobu is not telling the truth. His collection of e-mails addressed
to him and incriminating memoranda is most impressive.
IMO, what has been revealed is a truth with regard to the Biden crime family. They are
nouveau riche grifters who will have a much grander stage for their efforts if Joe is elected
as a presidential figurehead. pl
Did Hunter Biden's young business partners bring anything of value to the table, or were
they just name brand ride-alongs too. Archer, Conley, Heinz, etc. Biden was running a very
leaky ship, with such a large but relatively unsophisticated and compromised entourage.
I am, and I'm sure this is not an original observation, because it's as the Col notes,
singularly unimpressed with the entire lot of them. Bobo, Jim B, Hunter B, Duncan Hunter, Joe
B, Bulger's nephew, I've seen more gravitas among bookies, juicemen, and fences, that I grew
up with in NYC. And I mean that. Not a throw away line. And THESE guys will run the show? And
Harris I find singularity creep, artificial, and somehow just down right inappropriate. I
would not select any of them to run a post office.
I got a little tired of the man making so much of his "service to his country." Not that
it isn't worth quite a lot and I respect him for it, but four years... I served six years,
and what I dwell on is how much I loved serving in submarines and the enormous degree that it
contributed to building my character. The degree to which my service benefited my country was
trivial. It benefited me enormously.
Like you, I think he is telling the truth in that interview.
After 4 plus years of the intelligence agencies and MSM looking under every conceivable
rock, you think that there is anything left to find about Trump? You are delusional and
headed for a massive case of buyer's remorse if swiss-cheese-for-brains gets in.
Thank you for asking that question. I was about to ask it myself. My understanding is that
Trump's children are working for him as he is President for little pay. They may be still
handling Trump business accounts; but it seems they work for his White House office and its
many functions--and for his campaign.
I still believe in the American middle class, the people who make American run. These are
the people at his rallies, wearing MAGA hats, and showing up in overflow numbers.
They are not people who are easily swayed by "false prophets."
Trump keeps pointing out how well our economy was doing UNTIL China sent the virus (and, I
DO believe they sent it). He promises the return of that economy.
That is why Biden now is totally into frightening people about COVID and pushing masks and
social distancing. He is afraid that Trump will indeed be able to bring back a good economy.
He doesn't know how to do that, as is clear by this desperate attempt to cover up his shady
dealings with first Ukraine and now China.
Where I live, a large percentage of our population are clearly very tired and bored with
the COVID scare. We still do as our DEMOCRAT Governor, who hails from the People's Republic
of Boulder, Colorado, and the University of Colorado, where Socialist, Marxist, and Ultra
Feminists rule in the Arts and Humanities. We call Boulder "forty square miles surrounded by
reality." Unfortunately, the Boulder/Denver triangle contains the largest voting block. We
used to be able to count on Colorado Springs, but the universities in that area and into
Pueblo have also been taken over by the leftists.
What is also clear is that Biden's real hope was to build his own family dynasty by using
the Presidency as nothing but a cash cow for him and his inept and useless son.
I don't care really what Bobulinski's motives were for coming forward with his documents
and emails, I'm just thankful that he did. I hope it wasn't too late. And I'm thankful he
chose Tucker Carlson's show as the place to do it.
Joe Biden doesn't seem to be the brightest bulb for someone with a JD. To wit: why didn't
he just offer that he's given his son some fatherly advice about business now and then?
Instead, he's repeatedly and categorically denied discussing ANYTHING with his son about his
business dealings, which we now know is provably false. I'm no lawyer but I'd think Joe's
repeated lying infers a tacit admission of guilt. Deniability doesn't seem plausible in this
case.
I'd even go so far as to infer that Joe's gotten away with business dealings of this
sordid sort for SO long that he's become sloppy (e.g., the braggadocio ON VIDEO of
withholding US aid to Ukraine until its solicitor investigating Burisma, which was paying his
son $50-80 thousand per month, was fired.) He obviously has the [justifiable] expectation of
never being held accountable.
Did anyone else clock his comment that he wasn't being paid, not even expenses, for all
these trips. He said he was funding them himself, presumably until the $5M arrived.
Then it didn't but the Bidens got their $5M. The Bidens arrogance just piles onto their
stupidity. Did they really think that kind of operator would take it lying down?
With one foot in Colorado Springs, I'd like to suggest that you may be overstating the
weight of the local colleges in ColSpr's growing Democrat numbers. El Paso county election
results have remained fairly reliably Republican, if not by as sure a margin as once.
Population growth may be more significant mover, the high rate of in-migration to
Colorado, esp Denver. The seven county Greater Denver-Boulder area, with a population of 3.3
million, grew 1.1% last year, and has grown as fast or faster in the previous ten years. In
number, the Denver population has grown faster than anywhere else in the state. In the past
ten years the population of Denver Co alone increased 21%.
Colorado Springs/ El Paso Co. has grown quickly in the same period, but not as much as
Denver. The current population of 720,000 increased 16% from ten years ago. A good part of
this growth has been driven by Denver's growth and skyrocketing housing prices. A house costs
much less in El Paso County.
Too many Denverites are choosing to commute an hour+ from ColSpr to Denver, as seen by the
explosion of new housing at the north end of El Paso County and the now-daily traffic crawl
at rush hour on I-25 between ColSpr and Denver. Just try to get up to the speed limit on that
stretch. The state is adding extra lanes as fast as it can. It appears that Denver attitudes
move in with many of these commuters. Is ColSpr fated to become a bedroom community?
Finally, Colorado appears to be one of the places attracting migrants from the blighted,
overbuilt, overdetermined coasts. Again, newcomers arrive with attitudes from the places they
left.
I am hoping that the open skies and spaces, the particular self-reliance of rural
Colorado, and the more democratic openness to citizen initiatives via the ballot will mellow
their views.
This level of population growth and shifting politics, lacking a concommitant growth in
productivity of local biz and industry, is not viewed with equanimity by older inhabitants of
ColSpr. IMO It would be best if Colorado remained independent, with reasonable political
compromise and collaboration between parties, as before it has been.
Is a comparable dynamic underway north of Denver in your direction?
In reference to Trump's reputation as a grifter, I offer the following sample:
- He paid $2 million in fines and had to close down the Trump Foundation for using it as a
personal piggy bank.
- The Eric Trump Foundation was forced to close for similar grift. It was funneling money
into Trump family businesses and accounts. It's wasn't like the family directly stole money
from kids with cancer, but it ended up doing just that.
- His friend Bannon's recent grift with his Build the Wall Foundation, along with Manafort's
tax and bank fraud convictions, and Cohen's conviction for paying hush money for Trump's
sexual escapades.
- The sham Trump University was forced to close with a $25 million settlement to two class
action lawsuits and a NY civil lawsuit.
None of this sunk Trump. What it did do was inure the American public to the increasing
shittyness of our politician's behavior. Hunter's antics would have caused Joe to withdraw
from public life ten years ago, but today it's just par for the course.

My friend, as I have told you before, you have no real knowledge of practice in the business
world. Nobody says Trump has sold the US for his family's profit.
RNC's national spokesperson Liz Harrington battled CNN's Christiane Amanpour for
refusing to engage with allegations of corruption against Joe Biden and his family after years
of hyping unverified Trump-Russia allegations.
"Why don't you want to report this? This is one of the most powerful families in
Washington," she asked. "And you're okay with our interests being sold out to profit Joe Biden
and his family, while we're suffering during a pandemic from communist China?"
Former Hunter Biden business associate Tony Bobulinski is going to turn over his electronic
devices and business records to the FBI and appear Friday before two Senate committees
investigating accusations centered on content from a laptop linked to Hunter.
"Tony Bobulinski will announce that he will turn his electronic devices and records of
business dealings with Hunter and Jim Biden over to the FBI"
Bobulinski, a retired Navy lieutenant and CEO of Sinohawk Holdings, will hold a briefing in
Nashville, Tennessee, as he attends Thursday night's debate as a guest of President Donald
Trump, Roberts also reported.
And both the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and Senate Finance
Committee will hear testimony from Bobulinski in their investigations into a purported
pay-for-play scheme that some have alleged also benefited former Vice President Joe Biden.
Committee Chairmen Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, issued the
following statement Thursday, announcing Bobulinski's cooperation Friday:
"As part of the committees' efforts to validate the authenticity of recently publicly
released emails involving the Biden family's international financial entanglements, we sent
letters to five individuals identified in the emails. Those letters were sent [Wednesday],
and the deadline is Oct. 23, 2020. So far, the committees have received a response only from
Mr. Tony Bobulinski, who appears to be willing to fully cooperate with our investigation.
"In fact, Mr. Bobulinski has already agreed to appear for an informal interview by the
committees tomorrow, Friday, Oct. 23, 2020."
Ted Crus: "This whole issue is not about Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden by all appearances has
led a troubled and challenging life. This whole inquiry is about Joe Biden who wants to be
President and whether Joe Biden was personally corrupt," Cruz said. "One of the most striking
things is what Joe Biden isn't saying... Biden has not denied that he personally met with the
Ukrainian oligarch he repeatedly swore he never met.
Former Vice President Joe Biden used his son Hunter Biden as a "bag man" and got 50% of the
"bribe money" from foreign entities, Rudy Giuliani told Newsmax TV .
Appearing Tuesday on "Greg Kelly Reports,"
Giuliani, who says he is in possession of a copy of a hard drive purportedly belonging to
Hunter Biden, said the current Democrat presidential nominee could have used several "flunkies"
as a "bag man" rather than his own son, but instead involved Hunter in a purported bribery
scheme with Chinese businesses.
"Ten percent of the money that was being whacked up, that was $10 million a year, and then
50% of the profits with three Chinese Communists, one of whom was a Chinese intelligence
operative -- that 10% of that was going to H. for 'the big guy,'" Giuliani said.
"The big guy" has been identified by a Fox News source as Joe Biden, and Giuliani said his
team has identified Joe Biden by other means as well.
Pressed by host Greg Kelly for more revelations, Giuliani demurred, saying he has only been
able to look through about half the hard drive so far.
Giuliani said the hard drive -- which he noted has never been denied as authentic by Joe or
Hunter Biden -- contains evidence of about "five major federal crimes" and "$30-40 million"
going to the Biden family as bribes.
The hard drive is said to have come from a laptop left at a Delaware repair shop by a man
described by the owner of the shop as Hunter Biden. It was never picked up, and the original
drive was given to the FBI.
In one purported email, Hunter Biden complains he receives no respect for his work, but
tells his family he will not make them pay him "half your salary" like "Pop" did.
"This is not about Hunter," Giuliani said, but about what a criminal and "horrible father"
Joe Biden is.
"These are major bribes in which he sold out the United States to China."

A few days ago, the MSM and their political allies in the Democratic Party celebrated the
release of a "compromising" photo
appearing to show former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani with his hands down his pants. Giuliani
claimed that he was merely retucking in his shirt after removing some recording equipment, but
nevertheless, the whole news cycle played out in full view of the public as social media giants
like Twitter and Facebook looked the other way, allowing the photo, and links to news stories
covering the controversy (orchestrated by "Borat" prankster Sasha Baron Cohen) to circulate
widely.
However, just days later, a Chinese digital media company has published footage showing a
man who looks identical to Hunter Biden engaging in a sex fetish act with an unidentifiable
woman (along with a photo purporting to show what appears to be the same man engaging in sex
with a Ukrainian prostitute). But instead of allowing discussion and links to the video to
circulate, Twitter has scrubbed all links and photos related to the video and story, and is
suspending accounts that appear to be trying to spread the video or screenshots from the
footage.
Some background: Late Saturday afternoon, a mysterious link surfaced on Reddit purporting to
be the vaunted Hunter Biden sex tape - or at least, one of the Hunter Biden sex tapes (whispers
about more footage have so far gone unsubstantiated).
In it, a naked Hunter Biden can be seen, smoking crack, and laying with an unidentified
woman, possibly a prostitute. The woman's face is blurred out, making it impossible to tell
whether or not she appeared to be underage.
Footage of the sex act is preceded by footage of Guo Wengui at the national press club
raging over a Chinese takeover of the US, "9/11 times a thousand," he says, before
transitioning to a screed slamming Western politicians who collaborate with the CCP, and
warning about the dangers of American kleptocrats falling sway to CCP "influence" (blackmail
etc).
During the opening minutes if the video, Hunter can be heard complimenting the woman on her
technique. "That's so professional," Hunter exclaims. "You can't even find that on there," he
laughs as he gestures toward something off camera.
A few minutes in, the man who is allegedly Hunter Biden can be seen firing up a crack
pipe.
The reaction on Twitter was swift. Users who tried to share the link and photos were quickly
blocked (even though Twitter famously allows porn and nudity). Some cracked jokes about Hunter
Biden receiving what appeared to be a 'footjob', while shrugging off the video as simply
evidence that Biden has been victimized by revenge porn.
Others simply noted the disparity in treatment between the Hunter Biden story and the
"Borat" revelations about Giuliani, and wondered aloud how Twitter might be handling this if
those photos were of Donald Trump Jr., not Hunter Biden.
Of course, twitter didn't simply ignore the Giuliani photo; the news became one of the top
trending topics (thanks to the fact that Twitter's user-base skews toward young leftists).
At any rate, the group that released the footage and the above-mentioned screenshot are
promising to release more compromising material, while the MSM and Big Tech rallies to Hunter
Biden's defense.

It is not like you were not warned before hand and could have investigated how Biden stole
the primary through postal votes, when Gabbard by proposing new legislation to block that
electoral fraud. The corporate Democrats are utter ****e, worse than the Republicans and the
Libertarians are way better than the Republicans and of course in the USA the Greens are by
far the best of them all (what a real political party should look and of course be like and
just corruptly and ruthlessly attacked by the corporate Democrats showing how truly evil the
corporate Demcrats are, denying Americans democracy).

It's safe to say that Hunter Biden, the son of former vice president and current
presidential candidate Joe Biden, is having a rough time. After the contents of his laptop,
including details of his international business dealings, came into the public domain, it
transpired that the computer had been the
subject of a subpoena in a money-laundering investigation. Now, former business partners
are beginning to turn on him, and one of them has said that he's turning "
everything " over to the FBI and the Senate. Another one claimed that Biden was
consulted with regard to Hunter's foreign deals.
During the second and final presidential debate, Biden made a key mistake when it came to
addressing these issues. Instead of simply stating that he had no comment to make, he decided
to
blame Russia for the fact that Hunter's emails had been leaked from the laptop's hard
drive. Ah yes. So we're back to that old 'reliable' narrative. I'm assuming that Joe may have
missed the embarrassment that was the Mueller
investigation .
Maybe Biden doesn't like Russia. Whether he does or doesn't is inconsequential. It is a very
bad idea to blame his problems on a foreign power. In fact, it's not the proper behavior of
someone who wants to be president. Here's the truth. Hunter Biden's dealings across the pond
likely had some issues. It's hard to say exactly what these might be, because there's an
ongoing investigation. I don't think that Biden is so dumb that he doesn't realize that this
hurts his chances of the presidency. However, there is a big lack of responsibility here.
Blaming what's happening on anyone except Hunter is a bit silly. I'd even argue that it's
incredibly irresponsible.
What's even more obvious is the desperation. Biden and the Democrats in general want this
story, whatever it is, to be squashed. It's why you have seen so little coverage on
left-leaning TV networks. If Donald Trump Jr was in a similar situation it would be a story on
every single one of them, and likely the subject of a Don Lemon lecture or five.
What Biden may not realize is that when voters see something being blamed on Russia, they
tend to roll their eyes. It invokes the image of Boris and Natasha grabbing a laptop in the
hopes of finally grabbing the moose and squirrel. It's cartoonish. And what happens if the
worst-case scenario for Biden comes true and his son is indicted for something? Well, at that
point it's more than just a ' Russian disinformation campaign' . It's very real
indeed.
And this is where Biden could end up with plenty of egg on his face. If he and his son are
in trouble, then no amount of blaming another country is going to change that. And it wouldn't
surprise me if this becomes a major factor in the upcoming election. Why would you vote for
someone who can't, or won't, take responsibility for what is going on with their own
family?
What Biden needs to do at this point is come clean on what his level of involvement was, and
simply be a dad to his son instead of a politician. Then again, Biden has been a politician
longer than he's been a father, so it's hard saying which hat he plans on wearing for the next
two weeks.

Joe is running against another regular Republican politician, Hunter Biden's corruption would
have been a non-issue. The US politics is a cesspool of corruption, money laundering, sex and
all forms of moral decay. Each politician is in it for self-serving purposes. Position, power,
money, etc etc. A big section of naive Americans believe their politicians are there to serve
the people's interests. Politicians from both sides of the aisle have a tacit understanding NOT
to cross a red line. They will never accuse their opponents of corruption. 'You make your
money, I make mine.' is their omerta. They put up huge shows of debating with each other in
public purportedly in defense of the people's welfare and benefits. Behind closed door, they
celebrate their loots from the nation's tax money and illegal brides from businesses in
camaraderie together. I don't like Trump. But his exposure of the alleged crimes of the Biden

Excerpted from the book: 'Hidden Hand: Exposing How the Chinese Communist Party Is Reshaping
the World'
In 2018 the well-connected
Washington Post columnist Josh Rogin pointed out that China had been building networks of influence in
the United States over many years, and that the U.S. government "is preparing for the
possibility that the Chinese government will decide to weaponize" them to get what it wants.
(Although Beijing is not known to use Russian-style "active measures" in the West, deploying
them is only a matter of political calculation.)
One of the CCP's most audacious penetration operations, Chinagate in 1996, saw a top
intelligence operative meeting a naive President Clinton in the White House, along with
donations to the Clinton campaign made through people with ties to the Chinese military.
Beijing has been working to gain influence in the U.S. Congress since the 1970s. Through the
activities of the CCP's International Liaison Department, and Party-linked bodies like the
China Association for International Friendly Contact, China has made some influential friends.
Nevertheless, Congress has for the most part remained skeptical of China, although its voice
has been muted at times by the influence of "pro-China" members. The president, the White
House, the bureaucracy, think tanks, and business lobby groups have all been targeted by
Beijing, to good effect.

Until recently, almost all players in Washington D.C. and beyond were convinced by the
"peaceful rise of China" trope, and the value of "constructive engagement." The common belief
was that as China developed economically, it would naturally morph into a liberal state. This
view was not without foundation, because the more liberal factions within the CCP did struggle
with the hardliners, but in the U.S. it reinforced a kind of institutional naivety that was
exploited by Beijing. Many of those who stuck to this view even after the evidence pointed
firmly to the contrary had a strong personal investment in defending Beijing.
The billionaire businessman and former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg was a late entrant in
the contest to become the 2020 Democratic Party candidate for U.S. president. He is the most
Beijing-friendly of all aspirants. With extensive investments in China, he opposes the tariff
war and often speaks up for the CCP regime.

after announcing that he will be ending his campaign, in New York City, on March 4, 2020.

His media company has suppressed stories critical of CCP leaders, and Bloomberg himself
claimed in 2019 that "Xi Jinping is not a dictator" because he has to satisfy his
constituency.
The
Washington Post 's Josh Rogin argued that "his [Bloomberg's] misreading of the Chinese
government's character and ambitions could be devastating for U.S. national security and
foreign policy. He would be advocating for a naive policy of engagement and wishful thinking
that has already been tried and failed."
In May 2019 Joe Biden distinguished himself from all of the other candidates for the
Democratic Party's presidential nomination by ridiculing the idea that China is a strategic
threat to the United States. "China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man," he told a
campaign crowd in Iowa City. Biden had for years adopted a soft approach to China. When
President Obama's secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, was taking a tougher position towards
China's adventurism in Asia, Vice President Biden was urging caution. Biden had formed a warm
personal relationship with Xi Jinping when Xi was vice president and president-in-waiting.

game at the Verizon Center in Washington on Jan. 30, 2010. (Mitchell Layton/Getty Images)
In his second term, Obama replaced Clinton as secretary of state with the more accommodating
John Kerry. The dynamics help to explain why Obama's 2012 "pivot to Asia" was a damp squib. The
United States stood back while China annexed islands and features in the South China Sea and
built military bases on them, something Xi had promised Obama he would not do. Breaking the
promise has given China an enormous strategic advantage.
Joe Biden cleaves to the belief, now abandoned by many China scholars and most Washington
politicians, that engagement with China will entice it into being a responsible stakeholder.
The University of Pennsylvania's D.C. think tank -- named, for him, the Penn Biden Center for
Diplomacy and Global Engagement -- aims to address threats to the liberal international order,
yet China is absent from the threats identified on its website
: Russia, climate change and terrorism. Biden has spoken about China's violation of human
rights but still clings to the idea of China's "peaceful rise."
So does it matter if Joe Biden has a different view of China? It does, because there is
evidence that the CCP has been currying his favor by awarding business deals that have enriched
his son, Hunter Biden. One account of this is given by Peter Schweizer in his 2019 book "Secret
Empires." Some of his key claims were subsequently challenged
and Schweizer refined them in an op-ed in the
New York Times (famous for fact-checking). In short, when Vice President Biden travelled to
China in December 2013 on an official trip, his son flew with him on Airforce Two. While Biden
senior was engaging in soft diplomacy with China's leaders, Hunter was having other kinds of
meetings. Then, "less than two weeks after the trip, Hunter's firm which he founded with two
other businessmen [including John Kerry's stepson] in June 2013, finalized a deal to open a
fund, BHR Partners, whose largest shareholder is the government-run Bank of China, even though
he had scant background in private equity."
The Bank of China is owned by the state and controlled by the CCP. Hunter Biden's exact role
in the company is disputed, but one expert has said that his share in it would be worth around
$20 million.

(This is the first in a series of articles exploring Hunter Biden and Chris Heinz's
business dealings with Chinese entities. Additional reporting and research have been provided
by RedState's Scott
Hounsell . Links to additional pieces are at the bottom.)
A nearly 60-page intelligence report dated October 2 and provided to RedState late
Wednesday, October 21 details the relationship between multiple Chinese State-Owned Entities
(SOE's) and companies owned by Hunter Biden, Chris Heinz (stepson of former Secretary of State
John Kerry), Devon Archer, James Bulger, and suspected Chinese intelligence asset Michael Lin.
Despite what Hunter Biden's attorney claimed in 2019 , Hunter started traveling to China
shortly before the Big Guy became Vice President and signed contracts with SOE's while the Big
Guy was Vice President.
According to Christopher Balding, Associate Professor at Peking University HSBC School of
Business Shenzhen – who notes that he did not vote for Donald Trump in 2016 and will not
be voting for him this year – who reviewed the report before publication:
Lost among the salacious revelations about laptop provenance is the more mundane reality
of influence and money of major United States political figures. Ill-informed accusations of
Russian hacking and disinformation face the documented reality of a major Chinese state
financial partnership with the children of major political figures. A report by an Asian
research firm raises worrying questions about the financial links between China and Hunter
Biden.
Beginning just before Joe Biden's ascendancy to the Vice Presidency, Hunter Biden was
traveling to Beijing meeting with Chinese financial institutions and political figures would
ultimately become his investors. Finalized in 2013, the investment partnership included money
from the Chinese government, social security, and major state-owned banks a veritable who's
who of Chinese state finance.
It is not simply the state money that should cause concern but the structures and deals
that took place. Most investment in specific projects came from state-owned entities and
flowed into state-backed projects or enterprises.
According to the report Hunter Biden made incredible profits for essentially doing nothing,
including a tidy sum off of a copper mine in the Congo and another healthy bundle for allowing
the Bank of China to allocate its share of an IPO in Hong Kong to his venture capital firm,
BHR. So he's either the world's savviest investor or there are some
shenanigans/influence-peddling going on.
These activities were directed by people at the highest levels of the Chinese Communist
Party, according to the report.
The entire arrangement speaks to Chinese state interests. Meetings were held at locations
that in China speak to the welcoming of foreign dignitaries or state to state relations. The
Chinese organizations surrounding Hunter Biden are known intelligence and influence
operatives to the United States government. The innocuous names like Chinese People's
Institute for Foreign Affairs exist to " carry out government-directed policies and
cooperative initiatives with influential foreigners without being perceived as a formal part
of the Chinese government."
Balding, an American who lived in China for nine years, says of the report's veracity:
I did not write the report and I am not responsible for the report. I have gone over the
report with a fine-tooth comb and can find nothing factually wrong with the report.
Everything is cited and documented. Arguably the only weakness is that we do not have
internal emails between Chinese players or the Chinese and Bidens that would make explicit
what the links clearly imply.
Hunter Biden still owns a 10% share of BHR, (conservatively) estimated value $50
million
Hunter Biden served on the board of Heinz and Archer's Rosemont Realty, a large US-based
commercial real estate firm that was then sold to a Chinese company
A Chinese company affiliated with Hunter Biden acquired electric vehicle technology and
assets from two US companies that were in bankruptcy and which had defaulted on
government-backed loans
Suspected Chinese intelligence asset – and Hunter Biden business partner and
frequent travel partner – Michael Lin had official meetings with Joe Biden while he was
Vice President
Balding says this information is easily discoverable, that "there is no secret method for
discovering this data other than actually looking," and that knowing how the Chinese government
operates, the links between Beijing and the Bidens are very worrisome:
Having lived in China for nine years throughout the Xi regime's construction of
concentration camps and having witnessed first hand their use of influence and intelligence
operations, the Biden links worry me profoundly.
Whether Joe Biden personally knew the details, a very untenable position, it is simply
political malpractice to not be aware of the details of these financial arrangements. These
documentable financial links simply cannot be wished away.
Arizona Republican Rep. Paul Gosar has called for defunding National Public Radio after the
outlet officially refused to cover the Hunter Biden laptop scandal (while happily peddling
anti-Trump rumors for years) - calling it a ' waste of
time. '
"It's time to defund @NPR. This is appalling. #DefundNPR," Gosar tweeted on Thursday.
Gosar joins a growing chorus of conservative voices who are furious over the outlet's
decision to censor perhaps the biggest political bombshell in decades .
NPR public editor Kelly McBride
published an inquiry on its website Thursday from a listener who did not understand why the
outlet was ignoring the story.
"Someone please explain why NPR has apparently not reported on the Joe Biden, Hunter Biden story in the last
week or so that Joe did know about Hunter's business connections in Europe that Joe had
previously denied having knowledge?" listener Carolyn Abbott asked.
McBride responded in saying there are "many, many red flags" in an investigation carried out
by the New York Post, which last week published reports that were sourced from the alleged
laptop hard drive. NPR then went on to repeat claims that Russia is attempting to interfere in
the election.
" Even if Russia can't be positively connected to this information, the story of how Trump
associates Steve Bannon and Rudy Giuliani came into a copy of this computer hard drive has not
been verified and seems suspect. And if that story could be verified, the NY Post did no
forensic work to convince consumers that the emails and photos that are the basis for their
report have not been altered," McBride said, adding: "But the biggest reason you haven't heard
much on NPR about the Post story is that the assertions don't amount to much."
Her response included a statement from NPR managing editor Terence Samuel.
" We don't want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories , and we don't want
to waste the listeners' and readers' time on stories that are just pure distractions. And quite
frankly, that's where we ended up, this was a politically driven event and we decided to treat
it that way," Samuel said.
The claims that the reports are part of a Russian disinformation plot were dismissed by
Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe.
The FBI, meanwhile, did not dispute Ratcliffe's statements earlier this week.
FBI Assistant Director Jill C. Tyson sent a letter to Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairman of
the Senate Homeland Security Committee, in response to Johnson's request for more information
about the emails, reports around which have alleged that Hunter Biden tried to introduce a
Ukrainian businessman to his father when he served as vice president in the Obama
administration. The law enforcement agency
said it has "nothing to add at this time" to Ratcliffe's statement.
A number of conservatives and allies of President Donald Trump criticized NPR following its
decision to publish the inquiry .

" Wow. Foreign corruption from a major party is not considered news for taxpayer-funded
#fakenews NPR, " wrote the America First PAC on
Twitter in response.
It came as Twitter and Facebook also announced they would either block or limit the reach of
the NY Post's reports. White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany's account and a Trump
campaign account were also blocked. The Senate Judiciary Committee, as a result, voted to issue
subpoenas on Thursday to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to appear
before the committee after raising concerns about censorship and election interference.
Biden's campaign has
denied that he ever met with a Ukrainian gas company official, which was allegedly revealed
in a trove of emails that purportedly were found on a laptop hard drive belonging to his son,
Hunter, who sat on the company's board while his father was the vice president. The NY Post
also obtained a hard drive containing the emails from former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Other allegations have surfaced in recent reports over the days,
including from a former Hunter Biden associate who confirmed the legitimacy of an
email.
"The Attorney General of Delaware's office indicated that the FBI has 'ongoing
investigations regarding the veracity of this entire story.' And it would be unsurprising for
an investigation of a disinformation action involving Rudy Giuliani and those assisting him to
involve questions about money laundering, especially since there are other documented inquiries
into his dealings," the campaign said.

During the years that Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. was helping the credit card industry win
passage of a law making it harder for consumers to file for bankruptcy protection, his son
had a consulting agreement that lasted five years with one of the largest companies pushing
for the changes...
It was a savage piece of legislation, and Joe Biden even worked to block an amendment that
would have offered bankruptcy protection to people with medical debt. The bill also blocked
people from discharging private student loan debt under bankruptcy. Total student loan debt
was under $400 billion in 2005; it surged in the wake of the law's passage and is now over
$1.5 trillion.
The bank was MBNA. I know from personal experience that MBNA charged a late penalty on
online payments for their credit card on the last day due, illegally calling the payment late
even though the Federal Reserve Bank has a rule that if you make payment before the cut-off
time on the last date due, your payment must be considered as processed that date. MBNA also
kept funds that should have been transferred to the state's Abandoned Property Fund, to boost
its bottom line while its criminal owners were trying to sell the bank to Bank of
America.

5. LIN is a POI for his work on behalf of China, as confirmed by SOURCE В and
SOURCE С (at two separate national intelligence agencies).
6. BHR is a state managed operation. Leading shareholder in BHR is a Bank of China
and BHR's partners are SOEs that funnel revenue/assets to BHR.
7. HUNTER continues to hold 10% in BHR. He visited China in 2010 and met with
major Chinese government financial companies that would later back BHR.
8. HUNTER's BHR stake (purchased for $400,000) is now likely be worth approx.
$50 million (fees and capital appreciation based on BHR's $6.5 billion AUM).
9. HUNTER also did business with Chinese tycoons linked with the Chinese military
and against the interests of US national security.
10. BIDEN's foreign policy stance towards China (formerly hawkish), has since turned
positive despite China's country's rising geopolitical assertiveness.

Former Hunter Biden business partner Tony Bobulinski has confirmed that an email published
in the
New York Post 's bombshell exposé is indeed genuine - something the Biden camp
hasn't disputed, and that the "Big Guy" described in one of those emails is none other than Joe
Biden himself . Bobulinski also says Joe Biden was lying when he said he and Hunter never
discussed business dealings.
"My name is Tony Bobulinski. The facts set forth below are true and accurate; they are not
any form of domestic or foreign disinformation. Any suggestion to the contrary is false and
offensive. I am the recipient of the email published seven days ago by the New York Post,
which showed a copy to Hunter Biden and Rob Walker. That email is genuine .'
-New York Post
Bobulinski issued the statement late Wednesday, affirming that, contrary to Joe Biden's
claims that he never discussed business dealings with Hunter, the former Veep actually profited
from his son's dealings, which were undertaken with the full support of the Biden family.
Bobulinski claims cash and equity positions and 10% stakes in dealings were set aside for "
the big guy ," - aka Joe Biden .
Bobulinski said: "I've seen Vice President Biden saying he never talked to Hunter about
business" - "I've seen firsthand that that's not true."
" I've seen firsthand that that's not true, because it wasn't just Hunter's business, they
said they were putting the Biden family name and its legacy on the line."
According to Bobulinski, he was the CEO of Sinohawk Holding, a holding company partnership
between now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Co. and the Biden family. He said the Chinese weren't in
partnership for any kind of commercial purpose: they were there to pay for "influence" in the
US.
"I realized the Chinese were not really focused on a healthy financial ROI. They were
looking at this as a political or influence investment. Once I realized that Hunter wanted to
use the company as his personal piggy bank by just taking money out of it as soon as it came
from the Chinese, I took steps to prevent that from happening"
In the final weeks of the presidential campaign, Joe Biden has labeled Hunter Biden's emails
as a "smear" campaign against him, and Democrats like Adam Schiff have accused these reports of
being linked to a Russian intelligence operation, even though intelligence officials have said
there's no evidence that this is true.

Government Affairs and the Senate Committee on Finance requesting all documents relating to
my business affairs with the Biden family as well as various foreign entities and
individuals. I have extensive relevant records and communications and I intend to produce
those items to both Committees in the immediate future.
I am the grandson of a 37 year Army Intelligence officer, the son of a 20+ year career
Naval Officer and the brother of a 28 year career Naval Flight Officer. I myself served our
country for 4 years and left the Navy as LT Bobulinski. I held a high level security
clearance and was an instructor and then CTO for Naval Nuclear Power Training Command. I take
great pride in the time my family and I served this country. I am also not a political
person. What few campaign contributions I have made in my life were to Democrats.
If the media and big tech companies had done their jobs over the past several weeks I
would be irrelevant in this story . Given my long standing service and devotion to this great
country, I could no longer allow my family's name to be associated or tied to Russian
disinformation or implied lies and false narratives dominating the media right now.
After leaving the military I became an institutional investor investing extensively around
the world and on every continent. I have traveled to over 50 countries. I believe, hands
down, we live in the greatest country in the world.
What I am outlining is fact . I know it is fact because I lived it. I am the CEO of
Sinohawk Holdings which was a partnership between the Chinese operating through CEFC/Chairman
Ye and the Biden family . I was brought into the company to be the CEO by James Gilliar and
Hunter Biden. The reference to "the Big Guy" in the much publicized May 13, 2017 email is in
fact a reference to Joe Biden. The other "JB" referenced in that email is Jim Biden, Joe's
brother.
Hunter Biden called his dad 'the Big Guy' or 'my Chairman,' and frequently referenced
asking him for his sign-off or advice on various potential deals that we were discussing .
I've seen Vice President Biden saying he never talked to Hunter about his business. I've seen
firsthand that that's not true, because it wasn't just Hunter's business, they said they were
putting the Biden family name and its legacy on the line.
I realized the Chinese were not really focused on a healthy financial ROI. They were
looking at this as a political or influence investment. Once I realized that Hunter wanted to
use the company as his personal piggy bank by just taking money out of it as soon as it came
from the Chinese, I took steps to prevent that from happening.
The Johnson Report connected some dots in a way that shocked me -- it made me realize the
Bidens had gone behind my back and gotten paid millions of dollars by the Chinese, even
though they told me they hadn't and wouldn't do that to their partners.
I would ask the Biden family to address the American people and outline the facts so I can
go back to being irrelevant -- and so I am not put in a position to have to answer those
questions for them.
I don't have a political ax to grind; I just saw behind the Biden curtain and I grew
concerned with what I saw. The Biden family aggressively leveraged the Biden family name to
make millions of dollars from foreign entities even though some were from communist
controlled China.
God Bless America!!!!

There's nothing "dirty" about exposing your competitor's misdeeds.
It is "fighting dirty" to accuse your competitor of things he didn't actually do .
There doesn't seem to be much dispute that the emails are genuine.
Also, the media seems to be starting up a counter-narrative that Trump should be
focusing on policy disputes rather than Biden's corruption. But Biden himself has been
avoiding policy issues because his party is split between far-left extremists and
moderates, and he can't afford to alienate either one. He has flip-flopped over and over
trying to appease both constituencies. Instead, his strategy has been to present a choice
of personalities, in the hope that the public is so fatigued from the constant hostility
directed towards Trump and the president's rough style that they will opt for him
instead, regardless of his policy positions.

BOOM! Rudy Giuliani Drops a Bomb -- Joe Biden Broke the Law by NOT Notifying Officials of
Hunter's Naked Crack Smoking and Sexual Abuse of Minors (VIDEO
In a Tuesday interview, former Vice President Joe Biden claimed that there was no basis
"whatsoever" to claims that his son, Hunter, profited off the family name .
When asked local Wisconsin TV station WISN if there was any legitimacy to comments by Sen.
Ron Johnson (R-WI) that Hunter " together with other Biden family members, profited off the
Biden name ," the former Vice President replied " None whatsoever, " adding (without finishing
the sentence) " This is the same garbage Rudy Giuliani, Trump's henchman... "
"It's the last ditch effort in this desperate campaign to smear me and my family."
Except, Hunter admitted he profited off his family name!
"If your last name wasn't Biden, do you think you would've been asked to be on the board of
Burisma?" asked ABC News ' Amy Robach in an October 15, 2019 interview.
"I don't know. I don't know. Probably not, in retrospect," said Hunter. " I don't think that
there's a lot of things that would have happened in my life if my last name wasn't Biden ," he
added, " because my dad was Vice President of the United States. "
"There's literally nothing, as a young man or as a full-grown adult that -- my father in
some way hasn't had influence over."
What's more, the former President of Poland and Burisma board member Aleksander Kwasniewski
said last
November that Hunter was picked to sit on the company's board because of his name .
"I understand that if someone asks me to be part of some project it's not only because I'm
so good, it's also because I am Kwasniewski and I am a former president of Poland. ... Being
Biden is not bad. It's a good name ," he said.

Let's also not glaze over the fact that both Joe and Hunter said that Joe had 'no knowledge'

according to emails released by imprisoned ex-Hunter business associate, Bevan Cooney.

Joe Biden was the architect of a 1986 crime bill that specifically targeted Blacks with
very stiff sentences for small amounts of crack cocaine. Biden is the spawn of the KKK and a
long time racist. Look up his vile comments over the years including recently. That BLM
supports this scumbag is proof they care little about the well being of Black people.
Things just took a very dark turn in the Hunter Biden laptop scandal.
While the alleged crack, cronyism, corruption was enough to spark the biggest media
suppression in history, and no denials whatsoever from the Biden camp, the bombshell that Rudy
Giuliani just dropped, if true, is egregious to say the least (not just with regard Hunter
Biden but the law enforcement authorities who have allegedly had this information since before
Trump's impeachment but done nothing about it).
In an interview this evening with Newsmax TV, former NYC Mayor and current attorney to
President Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani announces he has turned over Hunter Biden's laptop
hard-drive to Delaware State Police due to pictures of underage girls and inappropriate text
messages.
In one of the texts, Hunter Biden allegedly says to his sister-in-law (also his lover) that
he face-timed a 14-year-old girl while naked and doing crack - "she told my therapist that I
was sexually inappropriate."
Giuliani adds, "this would be with regard an unnamed 14 year old girl," adding that "this is
supported by numerous pictures of underage girls."
Watch the full interview below (the above exchange begins around 5:20):
https://www.youtube.com/embed/coFx3ZDXWrg
Furthermore,
JustTheNews' John Solomon reports that former New York Police Department commissioner
Bernard Kerik joined him when he delivered photographs and text messages to the New Castle
County Police Department.
"I told them other details about what appears to be an inappropriate sexual relationship,"
he said in an interview. "They told me it would be investigated."
Law enforcement officials in Delaware told
Just the News that Giuliani's concerns have been forwarded to the state Department of
Justice.
"The FBI has had this for a long time," Giuliani said.
"No indication they did anything about this, so I went to the local police and said, 'What
are you going to do about this?'"
Perhaps the most damning statement from Giuliani, with regard the election, was the former
mayor alleging that:
"I will tell you the evidence I gave them states it was reported to Joe Biden. What did he
do about it?"
Before this is wholly dismissed as yet more Russian disinformation or 'Giuliani' lies, we
remind readers that
we previously reported that Hunter Biden's alleged laptop contents included a curious piece
of evidence - a photograph of an FBI subpoena which bears the signature of the agency's top
child porn investigator, special agent Joshua Wilson.
FBI agent Wilson's identity was confirmed by both
Western Journal and
Business Insider , the latter of which compared his signature to a 2012 criminal complaint
and concluded that it "clearly matches the unreversed signature on the subpoena published by
the New York Post ."
As BI notes:
It's unclear whether the FBI employs more than one agent named Joshua Wilson. But the
available evidence seems to show **the Joshua Wilson who signed the subpoena for Hunter
Biden's laptop, and the Joshua Wilson who investigates child pornography for the FBI, are the
same person**. This raises the possibility, not explored by the Post, that the FBI issued the
subpoena for reasons unrelated to Hunter Biden's role in Ukraine and Burisma.

So why is the FBI's top child porn lawyer involved in the Hunter Biden laptop case? OANN 's
Chanel Rion says she's seen the contents of the hard drive, which includes "Drugs, underage
obsessions, power deals," which make "Anthony Weiner's down under selfie addiction look normal
. "
All of which now makes some sense, given Giuliani's alleged findings, and raises a stunning
question: if there is/was incriminating child porn on Hunter's computer, what has the FBI been
doing about it?

Well, pilgrims, he sure looks comfy in the tub. I still wonder who took the pictures. Was it
the gal in California who later sued him over paternity of her child/fetus, whatever.
Did he take the pictures himself? Interestingly, the Bidens have not denied the implicit
charge of corruption, bribery, etc., etc. that is the mass of incriminating e-mail traffic on
the hard drive. And then, there are the disgusting sex videos. Does anyone think that these
were faked?
SWMBO says that the Bidens have set a new standard for depraved and addled stupidity. As
usual, she is right. pl
It's interesting that Bidens, Epsteins, Clintons, Hollywood types, Weiners, et al engage
in all of the sordid behaviors that they accused Trump of in the "Steele Dossier" (and then
some).
I always thought the Steele Dossier was poor trade craft; way too over the top. An

Rudy Guiliani and Steve Bannon stated this morning that more information will be

advocate. Things are getting interesting to say the least.

The Bidens are not involved, one Biden is. Joe Biden is not responsible for his son's
idiocy. I do believe he has massive addiction issues but I need a lot more proof that he took
all 3 of his computers in for work and the bill was only $85.00. I need the name of that
repair shop it is much more expensive where I live.
"Don't worry about investors," [James Biden] said, according to the executive,

You think Joe is innocent of all that has been done by his family? You think druggy Hunter
deserved to get a senior vice president position at MBNA straight after graduating from
college at $100k a year or that seat at Burisma at $50k a month? Do you think he deserved all
of that not because of his dad's influence but because he was so smart and because he
graduated from yale? If you believe all of that, you must be smoking some strong stuff.
Here is something you can read to improve your knowledge. This is not how a normal cv
looks like, for sure.
Brats like Hunter don't get these amazing deals because they are smart or create value for
their employers because of their work. He got these deals because it is a way of paying off
his father, the guy who then bats for these employers in the senate or the white house.
@ NancyK.. true - biden senior is not responsible for biden junior... however it seems
junior got the gig thanks daddys connections and willingness to fire the prosecutor so that
junior could continue to have the job! that is the part you appear to be turning a blind eye
to.... senior has major dirt on him due all this.. either you think it is a made up russian
propaganda set up, or you think it isn't... there is enough info at present to show that it
isn't a set up, but that daddy was using his position as vp unscrupulously or criminal
depending on how you want to filter it.. the fact the media want to push it under the carpet
with whatever excuse they provide, doesn't change any of it..
14 House seats in California GOP districts flipped a few weeks after the GOP "won" on
election night. It took that long for all the third party "harvested votes" to go through the
government employee union dominated election office verification procedures.
This election when the GOP turned tables and did their own "vote-harvesting" the Democrat
AG and Secy of State cried foul, sent the GOP a cease and desist letter to stop or face fines
and punishment. GOP said go pound sand. And the Dems had to back down since the law was too
vague to even be enforced.
Unfortunately this means the Democrats in this state will only double down on their "vote
harvesting". As if winning or losing California matters - except in the House. One guesses,
after the 2020 census California will lose a few House seats anyway, due to the state's
outflow of population and the reluctance of illegals to participate in the census in the
first place.
Don't forget, it was "term limits" that led to this one-party, one agenda domination of
this state. Never ever think "term limits" is an answer for anything.
Term limits only created a huge power vacuum, and in swooped the Democrat back public
sector unions running a steady string of revolving door talking head flunkies out of the
public sector union world, who immediately passed super-majority legislation that only
solidified their permanent domination. It happened so fast since 2000, few in the state knew
what hit them.
In 2016, they added "vote- harvesting" - allowing third parties to help fill out and
collect mail-in ballots and drop them off by the car loads, which technically must be checked
and verified, but in such volumes as to overwhelm the election offices - Cloward-Pivens on
steroids- a favorite technique of Barry Soetoro.

the other, they are a match.
Going back to the '50 former senior intelligence officials' and their latest Russia
fixation, one has to wonder - do they think Putin was able to compromise Biden's
former business associate , Bevan Cooney, who gave investigative journalist Peter Schweizer
his gmail password - revealing that Hunter and his partners were engaged in an
influence-peddling operation for rich Chinese who wanted access to the Obama
administration?
Did Putin further hack Joe Biden in 2011 to make him take a meeting with a Chinese
delegation with ties to the CCP - arranged by Hunter's group, two years they secured a massive
investment of Chinese money?
The implications boggle the mind.
Here's the clarifying sentences from the '50 former senior intelligence officials' that
exposes the utter farce of it all:
While the letter's signatories presented no new evidence , they said their national
security experience had made them "deeply suspicious that the Russian government played a
significant role in this case" and cited several elements of the story that suggested the
Kremlin's hand at work.
"If we are right," they added, "this is Russia trying to influence how Americans vote in
this election, and we believe strongly that Americans need to be aware of this."
"Hunter Biden's laptop is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign."
And then there's the fact that no one from the Biden campaign has yet to deny any of the
'facts' in the emails. lay_arrow jin187 , 2 hours ago
Totally ridiculous. This ******** beating around the bush for both sides pisses me off.
Dump all the laptop contents on Wikileaks if it's real. Let the people sort it out. If you
say it's not real, prove it. If Biden wants me to believe it's not real, then stand behind a
podium, and say clear as day into a pile of cameras that's it's all a forgery, and that
you've done nothing wrong.
Instead we have Giuliani swearing he has a smoking gun, but as far as I can tell he's just
pointing his finger underneath his shirt. Biden on the other hand, keep using weasel words to
imply it's fake, but never denies it outright. It's almost like he's trying to hedge his bet
that no one will manage to prove it's real before he gets into office, and makes it
disappear.

To play the "Russian Card" yet again should be beyond embarrassing. An insult to the

A signal that say's "guilty as charged - we got nothin' but lies and BS over here".

So... let me get this straight.
50, that's 10 times five, fifty former intelligence officials are going with a convoluted
narrative about a ludicrously complicated Russian Intelligence disinformation campaign
involving planted laptops and at least half a dozen patsies when the two words "crack

I'm not sure what's more terrifying; That these people think everyone else is dumb enough
to believe this or that they're actually retired intelligence officials

The FBI and DOJ constantly hide behind self-serving excuses to refuse the release of
documents and, when forced to do so, they release heavily redacted files. They offer up the
usual pretexts to fend off public disclosure such as: the information you seek cannot be
disclosed because it involves an ongoing investigation, or the information you seek involves
national security, or our methods and sources will be jeopardized if the information you seek
is divulged to the public. But it seems the ones who would be most harmed by public
disclosure are the corrupt FBI and DOJ officials themselves

You mean, the 2 Bozos who under the threat of perjury said there was NO evidence of

'Putin's puppet' on CNN.............
Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said on Monday that the information
published by The New York Post that allegedly came from Hunter Biden's laptop
is not part of a "Russian disinformation campaign."
Ratcliffe's comments came after Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the House Intelligence Committee
chairman, said the scandal surrounding the Bidens and a Ukrainian gas company is a "smear"
coming "from the Kremlin."
"Hunter Biden's laptop is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign," Ratcliffe said
in an interview with Fox Business . "Let me be clear: The intelligence community doesn't
believe that because there is no intelligence that supports that. And we have shared no
intelligence with Adam Schiff, or any member of Congress."
Ratcliffe said the FBI is now in possession of the laptop. He said the FBI's investigation
is "not centered around Russian disinformation."
Issues have been raised concerning the chain of custody of the laptop since two allies of
President Trump were involved, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and former White House
strategist Steve Bannon. But besides speculation from Schiff and the media, nothing ties the
laptop to Moscow.
The first email published by the Post last week purports Hunter Biden introduced his
father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive of the Ukrainian company Burisma
Holdings in 2015. Joe Biden has previously said that he never spoke with Hunter about his
overseas business dealings.
Rudy Giuliani talks about "sensitive" material on the laptop of Hunter Biden including
"numerous pictures" of underage girls and an alleged text message exchange he had with his
father where he admits to a relationship with a 14-year-old girl and creating an unsafe
environment for his children.
The former New York City mayor said he turned the laptop over to police in Delaware with
Bernard Kerik because he felt "uncomfortable" with it in his possession in an interview Monday
with Newsmax TV's Greg Kelly.
Giuliani narrated the text message in which Hunter talks about his former sister-in-law and
lover with the elder Biden:

American?

She told my therapist that I was sexually inappropriate. (Giuliani: This would be with an
unnamed 14-year-old girl.)
When she says that I Facetime naked with [the unnamed 14-year-old girl] and the reason I
can't have her out to see me is because I walk around naked smoking crack talking... girls on
face time. When she was pressed she said that [the unnamed 14-year-old girl] never said
anything like that but the bottom line is that I created and caused a very unsafe environment
for the kids.
"This is supported by numerous pictures of underage girls," Giuliani said after reading the
message.
"Bernie Kerik and I turned it over to the Delaware State Police because I'm very
uncomfortable with this. And I'm very uncomfortable with the fact that these underage girls
were not protected," he said.
Giuliani later said that this is not about Hunter Biden but exposing Joe Biden as
incompetent. "This is not about Hunter," Giuliani said, but about what a criminal and "horrible
father" Joe Biden is. Related Videos
When Bevan Cooney -- the former "junior" business partner to Hunter Biden and Devon Archer
-- went to jail in 2019, investigative reporter and New York Times bestselling author Peter
Schweizer thought he'd never gain access to the damning emails Cooney had promised. That all
changed three weeks ago when Schweizer was given complete access to Cooney's gmail
account.
POLL: Did you watch any of the 2020 Presidential Town Halls last night?
Schweizer joined Glenn Beck on the radio program Tuesday to describe just some of the
business deals revealed within these emails -- like Hunter working with an alleged Russian
criminal and with Chinese communists to secure their assets, or to secure one-on-one time with
his dad, then-Vice President Joe Biden. And all of this new information is completely separate
from the emails allegedly discovered on
Hunter Biden's laptop recently reported by the
New York Post.
"So, I want to make this clear. This [Cooney's emails] has nothing to do with what's on the
laptop It didn't come from [Rudy] Giuliani. It didn't come from anybody else, right?" Glenn
asked Schweizer.
That's absolutely correct," Schweizer confirmed.
He briefly explained how Cooney, a former Los Angeles nightclub owner, is currently serving
a prison sentence for his involvement in a fraudulent business bond scheme with Biden and
Archer. From prison, Cooney gave Schweizer written permission to access his Gmail account.
"This is really important," he noted. "We're not looking at printouts. Not looking at PDFs.
We're actually in his Gmail accounts themselves, sifting through these emails. And there's a
shocking amount of information about deals involving China, involving Russia, involving
all sorts of things they were trying to pull off ."

Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer told FNC's Sean Hannity
on Friday that evidence will be released before the election proving that Hunter Biden and
Russian oligarch Elena Baturina have more of a relationship than previously admitted.

American?

HANNITY: All right. So, we can bifurcate for people. This is all separate from what The New
York Post was reporting this week. This is separate from what we knew earlier, and it's
separate from Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley's report that they put out, 87 pages, which
talked about, well, Russian oligarchs, Kazakh oligarchs, the $3.5 million payment with the
former first lady of Moscow, Chinese nationals, $100,000 shopping spree, Russian nationals,
Kazakhs nationals, Ukrainian nationals.
How much money are we talking about here, and were all three of them involved in all of
these endeavors?
SCHWEIZER: Well, it kind of jumps around, but let me just make clear, these are all
separate emails from The New York Post and what the Senate did, but they all reinforce the
same.
I mean, to take, for example, Ms. Baturina, the Russian oligarch links to organized crime
that the Senate sent $3.5 million based on Treasury Department documents, we will be rolling
out a story in a couple of days demonstrating that their relationship, meaning Hunter and
Devon Archer's relationship with Elena Baturina goes way back and they were performing a
number of banking and other financial services for her, services that they had trouble doing,
by the way, because several banks did not want to work with her because the money was seen as
dirty.
HANNITY: So, literally, these nationals were allowed access to Biden inside the White
House according to these emails. I guess my next question is if both of Hunter's business
partners are convicted, how did he go scot-free?
SCHWEIZER: Well, that's the question, Sean. There was a trial in 2016, and we actually,
I've gone through the notes of that trial, and what it demonstrates is that Hunter Biden's
fingerprints are all over this. He has named repeatedly in the court trials, but he was never
charged by the prosecutors in New York.
A top Republican senator acknowledged the possibility that the FBI investigated whether
there was child pornography on a laptop and hard drive that allegedly belonged to Hunter
Biden.
Journalist Maria Bartiromo asked Sen. Ron Johnson, the chairman of the Senate Homeland
Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, about
a Business Insider report that described faint handwriting on a subpoena served last
year to a Delaware business that was given a water-damaged MacBook Pro to repair but was never
retrieved and a hard drive with its contents. The hardware purportedly contained data about
foreign business dealings and other matters related to the son of former Vice President Joe
Biden.
The subpoena appeared to show the FBI agent who served it was someone named
"Joshua Wilson." There was a Joshua Wilson, according to a Star-Ledger report published
last year , who was an FBI agent based in New Jersey who spent nearly five years
investigating child pornography, but it remains unclear if this is the same Wilson and what
exactly the bureau was investigating.
Bartiromo twice asked Johnson, a lead congressional investigator, if he knows of any
connection on her Fox News program, Sunday Morning Futures .
"I think you just made the connection. Again, this is what the FBI, I think, has to come
clean about," the Wisconsin Republican said in his first reply. Johnson was
alluding to his letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray about the laptop sent last
week.
Pressed a second time after his initial response, the senator said he could not comment any
further.
"I don't want to speculate, other than to say that -- what I said publicly before. Our
report uncovered so many troubling connections, so many things that need to be investigated,
that I really think we're just scratching the surface," Johnson said. "And, yes, I have heard
all kinds of things that I think will probably be revealed over the next few days."
Republicans, including President Trump, have repeatedly raised the younger Biden's foreign
business ventures as being ripe for corruption that could stem all the way to his father, who
is now running for president. Joe Biden called the reporting on the emails and photos that
purportedly come from his son's laptop, a story that was
broken by the New York Post last week , a
"smear campaign." Still, neither Hunter Biden nor the Biden campaign have disputed the
validity of the data that has generated a wave of headlines in recent days.
John Paul Mac Isaac, the computer store owner in Delaware who claims he copied the hard
drive of the laptop that he later gave to former Mayor Rudy Giuliani's lawyer, Robert Costello,
told reporters last week he "did not see" child pornography on the hardware.
In two bombshell reports, Emma-Jo Morris and Gabrielle Fonrouge of the New York Post have
leveled damning allegations of Hunter Biden' s murky financial dealings with Ukrainian and
Chinese oligarchs. As expected, $50,000 remuneration paid by Burisma Holdings of Ukraine
annually for Hunter's "consultancy job" was only the tip of the iceberg. Hunter was paid
millions of dollars bribes that sustained his "rockstar lifestyle" over the years.
Although it was the
first report [1] published on Thursday, October 14, and titled "Smoking-gun email reveals
how Hunter Biden introduced Ukrainian businessman to VP dad" that gained most attention on the
mainstream media, it was the
second report [2] published on Friday, October 15, in which the authors have furnished
documentary evidence of Hunter Biden's dealings, amounting to millions of dollars and stakes in
equities and profits of a private Chinese oil company doing business in Africa, with a Chinese
billionaire Ye Jianming that raises serious questions whether the loyalty of the Biden campaign
to the American electorate has been compromised due to Hunter Biden's illicit financial
transactions with the representatives of the Chinese government.

It's noteworthy that the name of Ye Jianming came up in the Johnson-Grassley report released
last month, too.
"The Suspicious Activity Reports of the Treasury Department flagged millions of dollars in
transactions from the Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings, a Russian oligarch named Yelena
Baturina, and a Chinese businessmen with ties to Beijing's communist government," the Senate
report said.
The Johnson-Grassley report further alleged:
"Hunter Biden had business associations with Ye Jianming, Gongwen, and other Chinese
nationals linked to the communist government and the People's Liberation Army. Those
associations resulted in millions of dollars in cash flow."
Corroborating the Senate investigation, Emma-Jo Morris and Gabrielle Fonrouge noted in the
second report of the New York Post:
"Another email -- sent by Biden as part of an Aug. 2, 2017, chain -- involved a deal he
struck with the since-vanished chairman of CEFC, Ye Jianming, for half-ownership of a holding
company that was expected to provide Biden with more than $10 million a year 'for
introductions alone.'
"'The chairman changed that deal after we me[t] in MIAMI TO A MUCH MORE LASTING AND
LUCRATIVE ARRANGEMENT to create a holding company 50% percent [sic] owned by ME and 50% owned
by him,' Biden wrote.
"A photo dated Aug. 1, 2017, shows a handwritten flowchart of the ownership of 'Hudson
West' split 50/50 between two entities ultimately controlled by Hunter Biden and someone
identified as 'Chairman.'
"According to a report on Biden's overseas business dealings released last month by Sens.
Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), a company called Hudson West III opened a
line of credit in September 2017.
"Biden's email was sent to Gongwen Dong, whom the Wall Street Journal in October 2018 tied
to the purchase by Ye-linked companies of two luxury Manhattan apartments that cost a total
on $83 million.
"The documents obtained by The Post also include an 'Attorney Engagement Letter' executed
in September 2017 in which one of Ye's top lieutenants, former Hong Kong government official
Chi Ping Patrick Ho, agreed to pay Biden a $1 million retainer for 'Counsel to matters
related to US law and advice pertaining to the hiring and legal analysis of any US Law Firm
or Lawyer.'
"In December 2018, a Manhattan federal jury convicted Ho in two schemes to pay $3 million
in bribes to high-ranking government officials in Africa for oil rights in Chad and lucrative
business deals in Uganda. Ho served a three-year prison sentence and was deported to Hong
Kong in June."
"Ye Jianming had made inroads with Joe Biden's brother James Biden, as well as Hunter
Biden, as the Chinese tycoon sought to build influence in the United States. In early 2018,
Hunter Biden was paid $1 million to represent Ye's aide while he was facing the federal
bribery charges in the United States.
"In August 2017, a subsidiary of Ye's company wired $5 million into the bank account of a
US company called Hudson West III, which over the next 13 months sent $4.79 million marked as
consulting fees to Hunter Biden's firm, the report said. Over the same period, Hunter Biden's
firm wired some $1.4 million to a firm associated with his uncle and aunt, James and Sara
Biden."
Ironically, it was the mainstream media that first broke the story of the illicit financial
transactions between the Biden family and Chinese billionaire Ye Jianming in December 2018,
though that was a year before Joe Biden was chosen as the Democratic presidential candidate in
April.
Giving a detailed biographical account of Ye Jianming from his rapid ascent to a sudden fall
from grace in 2017, as the FBI closed in on the Chinese billionaire's company and aides, a
December 2018 New
York Times report [4] revealed:
"Ye Jianming, a fast-rising Chinese oil tycoon, ventured to places only the most
politically connected Chinese companies dared to go. But what he wanted was access to the
corridors of power in Washington -- and he set out to get it.
"Soon, he was meeting with the family of Joseph R. Biden Jr., who was then the vice
president. He dined with R. James Woolsey Jr., a former Central Intelligence Agency director
and later a senior adviser to President Trump. He bestowed lavish funding on universities and
think tanks with direct access to top Washington leaders, looking for the benefits access can
bring.
"'This is a guy who courted and maintained networks with the People's Liberation Army and
took the strategy of 'friends in high places,' said Jude Blanchette, a senior adviser and
China head at Crumpton Group, a business intelligence firm.
"He seemed to have the blessings of Beijing. State banks offered CEFC billions of dollars
in loans. The company also hired a large number of former military officers, whom Mr. Ye told
visitors he prized for their organizational skills. He was deputy secretary of a Chinese
military organization from 2003 to 2005 that congressional researchers called a front for the
People's Liberation Army unit that has 'dual roles of intelligence collection and conducting
People's Republic of China propaganda.'
"From 2009 to 2017, CEFC's revenue jumped from $48 million to $37 billion. [a time period
incidentally coinciding with Joe Biden's vice presidency.]
"'It's been clear for some time that this is not just a Chinese commercial company, that
they had some intelligence ties,' Mr. Martin Hala, an academic based in Prague, said. 'People
from the U.S. intelligence agencies should have known something was going on.'
"Five years ago, CEFC approached Bobby Ray Inman, a retired admiral and national security
adviser to President Jimmy Carter, about setting up a joint venture, Mr. Inman said in an
interview. The company promised it would pay him $1 million a year, without specifying what
business they would go into. He turned down the offer.
"On a 2015 trip to the United States Ye met with Alan Greenspan, the former Federal
Reserve chairman, to discuss the economy, according to CEFC.
"CEFC also donated at least $350,000 to the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security,
a politically connected think tank, according to court testimony. The think tank counts
Robert C. McFarlane, the Reagan-era national security adviser, as its president and Mr.
Woolsey, a Clinton-era C.I.A. director, as its co-chairman.
"Mr. Ye also further loosened CEFC's purse strings, donating as much as $100,000 to the
Clinton Foundation. Outside the Beltway, a CEFC foundation donated at least $500,000 to a
Columbia University research center.
"CEFC also organized forums in Hong Kong and Washington that brought together retired
American and Chinese military officers, among other events.
"By 2015, Mr. Ye had begun working on perhaps his most politically connected quarry yet:
the family of Mr. Biden, the vice president.
"An aide to Mr. Ye met the vice president's second son, Hunter Biden, in Washington. Mr.
Ye then met privately with Hunter Biden at a hotel in Miami in May 2017. Mr. Ye proposed a
partnership to invest in American infrastructure and energy deals.
"During this period, the vice president's son was managing Rosemont Seneca Partners, an
investment firm he formed with Chris Heinz, the stepson of John Kerry, the former secretary
of state.
"The trial and conviction in New York in December 2018 of one of his top lieutenants,
Patrick Ho, showed that company officials used bribery to win oil and energy contracts in
Africa.
"In 2017, as American authorities closed in on Mr. Ye's company, the first call made by
one of his emissaries in custody was to Mr. Biden's brother.
"James Biden, a financier and brother of the former vice president, was in a hotel lobby
in November 2017 when he got a surprise call on his cellphone. The call was from Patrick Ho,
Mr. Ye's lieutenant. Mr. Ho, 69, was in trouble.
"In a brief interview, James Biden said he had been surprised by Mr. Ho's call. He said he
believed it had been meant for Hunter Biden, the former vice president's son. James Biden
said he had passed on his nephew's contact information.
"'There is nothing else I have to say,' James Biden said. 'I don't want to be dragged into
this anymore.'
"Federal agents who had monitored CEFC's rise since at least the summer of 2016 had sprung
into action, arresting Mr. Ho in New York on allegations that he had bribed African officials
in Chad and Uganda.
"Mr. Ye, meanwhile, has disappeared into the custody of the Chinese authorities. He was
last seen in February, 2018, when his private jet touched down in the Chinese city of
Hangzhou. CEFC is struggling under $15 billion in debt, and was dissolved early this
year."
After reading all this revelatory information regarding suspicious financial transactions
between prominent former officials of the US government and the "disappeared" Chinese
billionaire, it becomes abundantly clear that Ye Jianming, most likely a pseudonym, was a
frontman for the Chinese government who was sent on a clandestine mission to nurture business
relations with the Beltway elites, and later made to disappear after his cover was blown once
his aides were charged with criminal offenses in the US courts.
China is known to follow the economic model of "state capitalism," in which although small
and medium enterprises are permitted to operate freely by common citizens, large industrial and
extraction companies, especially a multi-billion dollar corporation the size of CEFC, are run
by the Communist Party stalwarts masquerading as business executives.
In addition, China is alleged to practice "debt-trap diplomacy" for buying entire
governments through extending financial grants and loans, and what better way to buy the rival
government of the United States than by financing the Biden campaign through bestowing
financial largesse on the profligate son of the former vice president and current presidential
candidate.
Notwithstanding, in a tit-for-tat response to the New York Post's explosive report alleging
Hunter Biden introduced a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm he was working for to his
vice president dad, the Daily Beast
came up with a scoop [5] on Friday, October 16, that the hard disks in which Hunter's
emails were found were provided to Rudy Giuliani by a Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui on behalf
of dissident members of the Chinese Communist Party.
According to the report,
"Weeks before the New York Post began publishing what it claimed were the contents of Hunter
Biden's hard drive, a Sept. 25 segment on a YouTube channel run by a Chinese dissident
streamer, who is linked to billionaire and Steve Bannon-backer Guo Wengui, broadcast a bizarre
conspiracy theory.
"According to the streamer, Chinese politburo officials had 'sent three hard disks of
evidence' to the Justice Department and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi containing damaging
information about Joe Biden as well as the origins of the coronavirus in a bid to undermine the
rule of Chinese President Xi Jinping
"While Guo's ties to Steve Bannon have long been known -- Bannon was arrested for defrauding
donors in August on a 152-foot-long yacht reportedly owned by Guo -- the billionaire appears to
have also joined forces with Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani in the former New York
mayor's relentless anti-Biden dirt-digging crusade."
Besides posting pictures of Rudy Giuliani and Guo Wengui "cavorting and smoking cigars
together" and leveling unsubstantiated allegations that Giuliani has stakes in Guo's fashion
lineup, the Daily Beast hasn't challenged the authenticity of Hunter's emails but only
questioned the source of origin of hard disks containing irrefutable evidence of the Biden
family's murky financial dealings and made a paradoxical claim that dissident members of
Chinese Communist Party are trying to sabotage Joe Biden's electoral campaign on Trump's
behalf.
Nevertheless, the report raises startling questions that why Chinese dissidents would form
"a government-in-exile" in the United States and allegedly support the Trump campaign against
Joe Biden's bid for the presidency unless the Biden campaign had received financial support
from the government of People's Republic of China whom the Chinese dissidents want to
subvert.
The report further alleges:
"Guo Wengui has been in the Trumpworld orbit pretty much from the beginning, paying the
$200,000 initiation fee to become a member of the president's Florida golf resort Mar-a-Lago,
which Trump has dubbed the 'Southern White House.' But Guo's membership soon became a
headache for the administration in the run-up to Trump's first summit meeting with Chinese
President Xi Jinping in 2017, due to Guo's fugitive status in China.
"At one point, Trump had reportedly considered deporting Guo after the Chinese government
called for his extradition in a letter delivered to Trump by casino mogul Steve Wynn in 2017.
After presenting the letter during a policy meeting, the president reportedly said, 'We need
to get this criminal out of the country,' only for aides to remind him that Guo was a
Mar-a-Lago member, eventually talking him out of the decision and ensuring the deportation
was scuttled
"Guo has framed himself as a stalwart critic of the CCP and China's corrupt elite, but his
efforts have divided China's exile community. Guo has enthusiastically attacked other critics
of Beijing as jealous poseurs, including most recently a Texas Christian pastor and Tiananmen
protester named Bob Fu -- who was imprisoned in China for his faith before escaping to the
U.S. -- whom Guo accuses of being a secret agent for the CCP. Fu has lobbed the same charge
back at Guo and his followers."
Instead of debunking Trump's witty remarks following the publishing of Hunter Biden's emails
that "the Biden family treated the vice presidency as a for-profit corporation," the
information contained in the Daily Beast article lends further credence to the investigative
reporting by Emma-Jo Morris and Gabrielle Fonrouge for the New York Post exposing Hunter
Biden's sleazy financial dealings with Ukrainian and Chinese oligarchs.
In an
exclusive report [6] for the Breitbart New on Friday, October 16, Peter Schweizer and
Seamus Bruner allege that newly obtained emails from a former business associate of Hunter
Biden's inner-circle reveal that Hunter and his colleagues used their access to the Obama
administration to peddle influence to potential Chinese clients and investors -- including
securing a private, off-the-books meeting with the former vice president.
The never-before-revealed emails, unconnected to the Hunter Biden emails being released by
the New York Post, were provided to Schweizer by Bevan Cooney, a one-time Hunter Biden and
Devon Archer business associate. Cooney is currently in prison serving a sentence for his
involvement in a 2016 bond fraud investment scheme.
Cooney believes he was the "fall guy" for an investment scheme in which Hunter and business
associate Devon Archer avoided responsibility. He reached out to Schweizer after the journalist
published a book "Secret Empires" in 2018. Archer was initially spared jail and handed a second
trial, however, a federal appeals court reinstated Archer's fraud conviction in the case last
week.
The report notes:
"On November 5, 2011, one of Archer's business contacts forwarded him an email teasing an
opportunity to gain 'potentially outstanding new clients' by helping to arrange White House
meetings for a group of Chinese executives and government officials.
"The group was the China Entrepreneur Club (CEC) and the delegation included Chinese
billionaires, Chinese Communist Party loyalists, and at least one 'respected diplomat' from
Beijing. Despite its benign name, CEC has been called 'a second foreign ministry' for the
People's Republic of China -- a communist government that closely controls most businesses in
its country. CEC was established in 2006 by a group of businessmen and Chinese government
diplomats.
"CEC's leadership boasts numerous senior members of the Chinese Communist Party, including
Wang Zhongyu (vice chairman of the 10th CPPCC National Committee and deputy secretary of the
Party group), Ma Weihua (director of multiple Chinese Communist Party offices), and Jiang
Xipei (member of the Chinese Communist Party and representative of the 16th National
Congress), among others.
"'I know it is political season and people are hesitant but a group like this does not
come along every day,' an intermediary named Mohamed A. Khashoggi wrote on behalf of the CEC
to an associate of Hunter Biden and Devon Archer. 'A tour of the white house and a meeting
with a member of the chief of staff's office and John Kerry would be great.'
"The email boasted of CEC's wealthy membership: CEC's current membership includes 50
preeminent figures such as: Liu Chuanzhi, Chairman of the CEC, Legend Holdings and Lenovo
Group; Wu Jinglian, Zhang Weiying, and Zhou Qiren, China's esteemed economists; Wu Jianmin,
respected diplomat; Long Yongtu, representative of China's globalization; Wang Shi (Vanke);
Ma Weihua (China Merchants Bank); Jack Ma (Alibaba Group); Guo Guangchang (Fosun Group); Wang
Jianlin, (Wanda Group); Niu Gensheng (LAONIU Foundation); Li Shufu (Geely); Li Dongsheng (TCL
Corporation); Feng Lun (Vantone) and etc.
"The gross income of the CEC members' companies allegedly 'totaled more than RMB 1.5
trillion, together accounting for roughly 4% of China's GDP.' The overture to Hunter Biden's
associates described the Chinese CEC members variously as
'industrial elites,' 'highly influential,' and among 'the most important private sector
individuals in China today,' dubbed as the China Inc.
"Hunter Biden and Devon Archer apparently delivered for the Chinese Communist
Party-connected industrial elites within ten days The Obama-Biden Administration archives
reveal that this Chinese delegation did indeed visit the White House on November 14, 2011,
and enjoyed high-level access.
"The visitor logs list Jeff Zients, the deputy director of Obama's Office of Management
and Budget (OMB), as the host of the CEC delegation. Obama had tasked Zients with
restructuring and ultimately consolidating the various export-import agencies under the
Commerce Department -- an effort in which the Chinese delegation would have a keen
interest.
"Curiously, the Obama-Biden visitor logs do not mention any meeting with Vice President
Joe Biden. But the Vice President's off-the-books meeting was revealed by one of the core
founders of the CEC. In an obscure document listing the CEC members' biographies, CEC
Secretary General Maggie Cheng alleges that she facilitated the CEC delegation meetings in
Washington in 2011 and boasts of the Washington establishment figures that CEC met with. The
first name she dropped was that of Vice President Joe Biden."
Schweizer suggests that the meeting may have opened the door for Hunter and Devon Archer
down the road -- as just two years later they formed the Chinese government-funded Bohai
Harvest RST (BHR) investment fund which saw Chinese money pour into it for investments in
CEC-linked businesses.
According to the report,
"One of BHR's first major portfolio investments was a ride-sharing company like Uber
called Didi Dache -- now called Didi Chuxing Technology Co. That company is closely connected
to Liu Chuanzhi, the chairman of the China Entrepreneur Club (CEC) and the founder of Legend
Holdings -- the parent company of Lenovo, one of the world's largest computer companies. Liu
is a former Chinese Communist Party delegate and was a leader of the 2011 CEC delegation to
the White House. His daughter was the President of Didi."
The report adds:
"Liu has long been involved in CCP politics, including serving as a representative to the
9th, 10th, and 11th sessions of the National People's Congress of the PRC and as a
representative to the 16th and 17th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party. Liu was
the Vice Chairman of the 8th and 9th Executive Committee of All-China Federation of Industry
and Commerce (ACFIC), an organization known to be affiliated with the Chinese United
Front."
After reading the names of these high-profile Chinese business and political elites visiting
the White House and cultivating personal friendships and commercial relationships in the
highest echelons of the Obama-Biden administration, one wonders whether the latter devised
trade and economic policies serving the interests of the American masses or took care of
financial stakes of global power elites.
With his anti-globalist and protectionist agenda, Trump represents a paradigm shift in the
global economic order. Trump withdrawing the United States from multilateral treaties,
restructuring trade agreements and initiating a trade war against China are a revolution
against globalization and free trade of which China is the new beneficiary with its strong
manufacturing base and massive export potential.
Thus, it's only natural for the Chinese government to be "anti-Trump", while supporting his
neoliberal Democratic rivals, who favor globalization and free trade, in the upcoming US
presidential elections.

"... "What we're in possession of contains 1,000, maybe more, photographs that are highly, highly – anywhere from inappropriate to illegal – and have to be possessed by the Chinese government," Giuliani said. ..."
"... If there is "underage" material on the hard drive allegedly belonging to Hunter, the FBI will have to answer some questions as well. ..."
A tweet published by One America News Network's Chief White House Correspondent Chanel Rion
claims the hard drive from Hunter Biden's laptop contained "underage obsessions."
"Just saw for myself a behind the scenes look at the Hunter Biden hard drive: Drugs,
underage obsessions, power deals " she wrote "Druggie Hunter makes Anthony Weiner's down under
selfie addiction look normal. Biden Crime Family has a
lot of apologizing to do. So does Big Tech."
Perhaps also referring to "underage" content, Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani told Steve Bannon
on the War Room
Pandemic podcast on Wednesday that the hard drive contains "sensitive stuff."
"What we're in possession of contains 1,000, maybe more, photographs that are highly, highly
– anywhere from inappropriate to illegal – and have to be possessed by the Chinese
government," Giuliani said.
Only a portion of the data in the hard drive has been released so far, so an even bigger
October Surprise could be awaiting the Democrat Party.
If there is "underage" material on the hard drive allegedly belonging to Hunter, the FBI
will have to answer some questions as well.
According to the computer repairman who obtained the laptop, "The FBI first made a forensic
copy of the laptop, then returned a few weeks later with a subpoena and confiscated it."
However, the agency did not know the repairman also made a copy in case anything suspicious
took place.
ZeroHedge reports , "After he stopped hearing back from the FBI, Isaac said he contacted
several members of Congress, who did not respond, at which point his intermediary reached out
to Rudy Giuliani's attorney, Robert Costello."
"... Meanwhile, back on ABC, Joe Biden skated on answering any questions of substance about his son or Antifa or BLM.

TUCKER CARLSON, FOX NEWS: If you flipped the channel during our show Thursday night, you may
have seen the president and his challenger making their respective cases to voters. But
President Trump and Joe Biden weren't debating each other. That would have been too risky.
There's a massive public health crisis underway, you may have heard.
So to avoid what doomsday hobbyists on Twitter like to call a "superspreader event," Trump
and Biden held separate indoor town halls surrounded by people. They talked to partisan
moderators instead of each other. That might seem like a loss to the country three weeks before
a presidential election. But unfortunately, the science on this question is clear: Nothing
could be more dangerous to America than a televised in-person debate between Joe Biden and
Donald Trump.
So the so-called debate commission made certain a debate couldn't happen. Who benefitted
from that decision? Well, not voters. America has held regularly scheduled presidential debates
for decades and we have them for a reason. The more information voters can get directly from
the candidates rather than the media, the better our democracy functions, not that anyone's
interested in democracy anymore.
Joe Biden doesn't care either way. He just didn't want to talk about Burisma. That's the
scandal that vividly illustrates how, as vice president, Biden subverted this country's foreign
policy in order to enrich his own family. The good news for Biden Thursday night was that he
didn't have to talk about it. No one from ABC News asked him about that scandal for the entire
90 minutes.
As we've been telling you this week, the New York Post and a few other news outlets,
including "Tucker Carlson Tonight," have published e-mails taken from Hunter Biden's personal
laptop. They show that Hunter Biden was paid by foreign actors to change American foreign
policy using access to his father, then the vice president. This is a big story. It is also a
real story.
Friday afternoon, we received nonpublic information that proves conclusively this was indeed
Hunter Biden's laptop. There are materials on the hard drive of that computer that no one but
Hunter Biden could have known about or have replicated. This is not a Russian hoax. Again,
we're saying this definitively. We're not speculating. The laptop in question is real. It
belonged to Hunter Biden. So there is no excuse for not asking about it.
But they didn't ask about it. It was a cover-up in real time. No matter what happens in the
election next month, the American media will never be the same after this. It cannot continue
this way. It is too dishonest.
Nevertheless, we did learn a few things Thursday night. (It's hard not to learn when you
watch Joe Biden try to speak for 90 minutes.) At one point, an activist told Joe Biden that she
has an eight-year-old transgender daughter. She asked Joe Biden what he thought about that.
Here's how he responded:
BIDEN: The idea that an eight-year-old child or a 10-year-old child decides, 'You know,
I've decided I want to be transgender. That's what I think. I'd like to be a -- make my life a
lot easier.' There should be zero discrimination. What's happening is too many transgender
women of color are being murdered. They're being murdered. I mean, I think it's up to now 17,
don't hold me to that number.
So if an eight-year-old biological boy decides one day that he's really a girl, that's final
and you'd have to be a bigot to pause and say, "Wait a minute, you're eight years old, you're a
small child. Maybe let's think about this for a minute." That's what a normal person who has
kids would say. People with kids know that children grow and change. They change their minds
about a lot of things, including themselves. That's the reality of it.
But if you're a crazed ideologue, you don't care about reality. So you would tell the rest
of us that an eight-year-old is entitled to hormone therapy on demand and permanent,
life-altering surgery. That's what Biden is telling us.
It doesn't matter how fashionable talk like this is right now, and it is very fashionable,
it is crazy and it's destructive and it's having a profound effect. No one wants to say it, but
it's true. We know that between 2016 and 2017, the number of gender surgeries for biological
females in this country quadrupled. We also know that many people who get those surgeries
regret them later, deeply regret them. We'd have a lot more data on that, but universities are
actively punishing researchers who follow that line of inquiry. So much for science.
In the end, mania like this will end. The left is at war with nature. Inevitably, they will
lose that war, because nature always prevails. But in the meantime, many children are being
hurt irreparably. Biden doesn't care. It's the new thing, and so he's for it. In fact, Biden is
now busy rewriting his entire life story to pretend that he has been woke for 60 years.
Thursday night, he told us he became a gay rights supporter during the Kennedy administration,
sometime around 1962, when he and his father saw two gay men kissing.
When asked about police brutality, the former vice president speculated that maybe people
like George Floyd would be alive today if the police had just shot him in the leg a few
times.
BIDEN: There's a lot of things we've learned and it takes time. But we can do this. You
can ban chokeholds ... But beyond that, you have to teach people how to deescalate
circumstances, deescalate. So instead of anybody coming at you and the first thing you do shoot
to kill, shoot him in the leg.
How much would you have to know about firearms or human biology to wonder if maybe there
could be some unintended consequences there? People do have arteries in their legs, after all,
and sometimes bullets do miss their targets. So why did no one point out how demented Biden's
answer was?
Well, we have some clarity on the question of why no one pointed it out. It turns out George
Stephanopoulos, the moderator of last night's ABC town hall, was not the only political
operative in the room. One supposedly uncommitted voter was, in fact, a former Obama
administration speechwriter called Nathan Osburn. Osburn repeated Biden campaign talking points
to the letter, at one point referring to court-packing as a safeguard "that'll help ensure more
long-term balance and stability" on the Supreme Court.
BIDEN: I have not been a fan of court-packing because I think it just generates, what
will happen ... Whoever wins, it just keeps moving in a way that is inconsistent with what is
going to be manageable.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So you're still not a fan?
BIDEN: Well, I'm not a fan ... It depends on how this turns out, not how he wins, but how
it's handled, how it's handled. But there's a number of things that are going to be coming up
and there's going to be a lot of discussion about other alternatives as well.
So we did learn something new last night: Joe Biden isn't a fan of court-packing.
Court-packing has had a few off years, and Joe Biden started to lose his faith in it, even sold
his "Court-Packing" jersey. But at the end of the day, Joe Biden is still open to court-packing
and can get back on the court-packing bandwagon depending on how things are "handled." Got
it?
Biden was allowed to answer non-questions like this because he was surrounded by sycophants
and former employees of his party. Over at NBC, by contrast, the sitting president didn't have
that luxury, to put it mildly. (By the way, it's not good for you to be sucked up to too much.
It's good to get smacked around a little bit. It makes you sharper.)
During the president's one-hour event, moderator Savannah Guthrie asked him dozens more
questions than the voters in the room got to ask. And when Trump began speaking, Guthrie
interrupted him over and over again. Joe Biden wasn't there, so the moderator played stand-in
for Joe Biden.
The good news about all of this is it's so bad and so transparent that it can't continue.
All their stupid little morning shows and their dumb Sunday shows and their even dumber cable
shows -- all of that's going away when the smoke clears from this election. There will be a
massive realignment in the media no matter who wins, because they've showed who they are and
it's so unappealing, so far from journalism, that it can't continue.
Meanwhile, back on ABC, Joe Biden skated on answering any questions of substance about his
son or Antifa or BLM. On NBC, Guthrie pushed Donald Trump to condemn QAnon and White supremacy,
and he did it dutifully. But it wasn't enough. The point of demanding performative disavowals
isn't to get the disavowal, it's to smear the person you're asking to disavow the group by
association with the group.
GUTHRIE: You were asked point-blank to denounce White supremacy [at the first debate]. In
the moment, you didn't ... A couple of days later on a different show, you denounce White
supremacy --
TRUMP: You always do this. You've done this line -- I denounce White supremacy,
OK?
GUTHRIE: You did two days later.
TRUMP: I've denounced White supremacy for years. But you always do, you always start off
with the question. You didn't ask Joe Biden whether or not he denounces Antifa ... Are you
listening? I denounce White supremacy. What's your next question?
NBC was under a lot of pressure from Democrats to make Thursday night's town hall look like
this, and just like Facebook and Twitter delivered earlier this week, NBC delivered,
too.
whatmeworry? 1 day ago The only difference between the "news" media today, and, say a
decade ago, is that they no longer try to conceal their bias. They've dropped the cloak of
objectivity and come out as democrat activists. It's sort of refreshing. We no longer have to

Liberals are more an enemy of the free press than Donald Trump is--we know that for sure after
the NY Post incident. For all the times Trump has trashed the press, he has never shut them
down (he can't), but the liberals at Facebook and Twitter did just that to the New York Post,
because they didn't like a story of theirs. The story should never have been banned anywhere.
In a free society, bogus stories are debunked by other free speech outlets and press agencies.
They are not banned. Trump is not a friend of the press, but liberals are a worse enemy than he
is, to press freedom. Leftists have a strong totalitarian streak, and they continually work to
create environments where only one viewpoint is permitted, whether in academia, television, the
press or elsewhere. Liberals believe more in shutting down dissent than in discrediting it,
through argument. Gadsden_1968 2.0 1 day ago 90% of the media is now formally known as the
Democratic Party propaganda ministry. Arm yourselves, it appears the majority of people are
100% controlled by the Democratic Party's propaganda ministry. If Biden wins, his propaganda
ministry will make Pravda look like a high school news paper. Architech 1 day ago Why is the
crackhead Hunter Biden a taboo subject? Nobody mentions that Hunter is The Train Wreck of the
Century. Even on right wing news they don't tell you what a drop dead irresponsible loser low
life that Hunter is. He sleeps with his dying brothers wife while he is still alive. Red flag.
Plenty of other girls, but no, your sister in law. But that is nothing. Nada. Kicked out of the
Navy for drug use. Banged 1000 strippers in Wash DC, knocked one up, denied the child, was
proven he was the dad, denied child support and was forced to pay. Nice. Dead beat dad deluxe.
There are about 100 things like that. Too long to list. And nobody mentions is. They act like
Hunter is just another guy.... Calling out the Loser of the Century is not off limits in my
book. Calling out stupidity, no self control, no personal responsibility, corruption, unethical
behavior, outright crimes....not off limits. It's actually illegal to be a crack addict did you
know that?

Glenn Greenwald appeared on Tucker Carlson's FOX News show Monday night to criticize
the media for its lack of response to the Hunter Biden laptop story. Greenwald also criticized
intel community activity in domestic elections and posed the question that even if Russians are
behind the story it just requires journalistic investigation in case Biden is compromised.
"Adam Schiff is seriously the most pathological liar in all of American politics that I've seen in all of my time covering
politics and journalism," Greenwald said on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.' "He just fabricates accusations at the drop of the hat at
the other people change underwear. He's simply lying when he just asserts over and over that the Russians or the Kremlin are
behind the story. He has no idea whether or not that is true. There is no evidence to support it."
"And what makes it so much worse is that the reason that the Bidens aren't answering basic
questions about the story," Greenwald said. "Basic questions like did Hunter Biden drop that
laptop off of the repair shop? Are the emails authentic? Do you know denied that they are. Do
you claim that any have been altered or are any of them fabricated? Did you in fact meet with
Barisma executives? The reason they don't answer the questions is because the media has
signaled that they don't have to. That journalists will be attacked and vilified simply for
asking."

is a union of journalists who have decided that their only goal is to defend Joe Biden and
election him president of the United States working with the FBI, CIA, NSA not to manipulate
our adversaries or foreign governments, but to manipulate the American people for their own
ends. It's been going on for four straight years now and there's no sign of it stopping anytime

Update (1930ET) : In yet another death blow to Adam Schiff and the '50 former senior
intelligence officers' "Russia, Russia, Russia" claims, the FBI and DOJ have told a Fox News
producer that they do not believe that Hunter Biden's laptop and its contents are part of a
Russian disinformation campaign , confirming that the 'current' intelligence community agrees
with DNI Ratcliffe's comments yesterday.
We look forward to the reporting from other mainstream media news agencies now that federal
law enforcement has confirmed this is not a 'hoax' and we assume that the NYPost will once
again be allowed to tweet since this is now as 'factual' as anything thrown at Trump for the

"former" -- Meaning they are mostly looking from the outside in and have no clue.
I don't use Social Media myself, but near the end of the 2016 presidential campaign, I
gradually began seeing more and more Trump supporters referring to something called
"Pizzagate," a burgeoning sexual scandal that they claimed would bring down Hillary Clinton and
many of the top leaders of her party, with the chatter actually increasing after Trump was
elected. As near as I could tell, the whole bizarre theory had grown up on the far-right fringe
of the Internet, with the utterly fantastical plot having something to do with stolen secret
emails, DC pizza parlors, and a ring of pedophiles situated near the top of the Democratic
Party. But given all the other strange and unlikely things I'd gradually discovered about our
history, it didn't seem like something I could necessarily dismiss out of hand.
At the beginning of December, a right-wing blogger produced a lengthy exposition of the
Pizzagate charges, which finally gave me some understanding of what was actually under
discussion, and I soon made arrangements to republish his article. It quickly attracted a great
deal of interest, and some websites pointed to it as the best single introduction to the
scandal for a general audience.
A couple of weeks later, I republished an additional article by the same writer, describing
a long list of previous pedophilia scandals that had occurred in elite American and European
political circles. Although many of these seemed to be solidly documented, nearly all of them
had received minimal coverage by our mainstream media outlets. And if such political pedophile
rings had existed in the relatively recent past, was it so totally implausible that there might
be another one simmering beneath the surface of today's Washington DC?
Those interested in the details of the Pizzagate Hypothesis are advised to read these
articles, especially the first one, but I might as well provide a brief summary.
John Podesta had been a longtime fixture in DC political circles, becoming chief of staff to
President Bill Clinton in 1998, and afterward remaining one of the most powerful figures in the
Democratic Party establishment. While serving as as chairman of Hillary Clinton's 2016
presidential campaign, his apparent carelessness with the password security of his Gmail
account allowed it to easily be hacked, and tens of thousands of his personal emails were soon
published on WikiLeaks. A swarm of young anti-Clinton activists began scouring this
treasure-trove of semi-confidential information, seeking evidence of mundane bribery and
corruption, but instead they came across some quite odd exchanges, seemingly written in coded
language.
Now use of coded language in a supposedly secure private email account raises all sorts of
natural suspicions regarding what might have been under discussion, with the most likely
possibilities being illegal drugs or sex. But most of the references didn't seem to fit the
former category, and in our remarkably libertine era, in which political candidates compete for
the right to be Grand Marshal at an annual Gay Pride Parade, one of the few sexual activities
still discussed only in whispers would seem to be pedophilia, with some of the very strange
remarks possibly hinting at this.
The researchers also soon discovered that his brother Tony Podesta, one of the wealthiest
and most successful lobbyists in DC, had extremely odd taste in art. Major items of his very
extensive personal collection seemed to represent tortured or murdered bodies, and one of his
favorite artists was best known for paintings depicting young children being held captive,
lying dead, or suffering under severe distress. Such peculiar artwork obviously isn't illegal,
but it might naturally arouse some suspicions. And oddly enough, arch-Democrat Podesta had long
been a close personal friend of former Republican Speaker and convicted child-molester Dennis
Hastert, welcoming him back into DC society after his release from prison.
Furthermore, some of the rather suspiciously-worded Podesta emails referred to events held
at a local DC pizza parlor, greatly favored by the Democratic Party elite, whose owner was the
gay former boyfriend of David Brock, a leading Democratic activist. The public Instagram
account of that pizza-entrepreneur apparently contained numerous images of young children,
sometimes tied or bound, with those images frequently labeled by hashtags using the traditional
gay slang for underage sexual targets. Some photos showed the fellow wearing a tee-shirt
bearing the statement "I Love Children" in French, and by a very odd coincidence, his possibly
assumed name was phonetically identical to that very same French phrase, thus proclaiming to
the world that he was "a lover of children." Closely connected Instagram accounts also included
pictures of young children, sometimes shown amid piles of high-value currency, with queries
about how much those particular children might be worth. None of this seemed illegal, but
surely any reasonable person would regard the material as extremely suspicious.
DC is sometimes described as "Powertown," being the seat of the individuals who make
America's laws and govern our society, with local political journalists being closely attuned
to the relative status of such individuals. And oddly enough, GQ Magazine had ranked that gay
pizza parlor owner with a strange focus on young children as being one of the 50 most
powerful people in our national capital, placing him far ahead of many Cabinet members,
Senators, Congressional Chairmen, Supreme Court justices, and top lobbyists. Was his pizza
really that delicious?
These few paragraphs provide merely a sliver of the large quantity of highly-suspicious
material surrounding various powerful figures at the apex of the DC political world. A vast
cloud of billowing smoke is certainly no proof of any fire, but only a fool would completely
ignore it without attempting further investigation.
I usually regard videos as a poor means of imparting serious information, far less effective
and meaningful than the simple printed word. But the overwhelming bulk of the evidence
supporting the Pizzagate Hypothesis consists of visual images and screen shots, and these are
naturally suited to a video presentation.
Some of the best summaries of the Pizzagate case were produced by a young British YouTuber
named Tara McCarthy, whose work was published under the name of "Reality Calls," and her videos
were viewed hundreds of thousands of times. Although her channel was eventually banned and her
videos purged, copies were later reloaded to other accounts, both on YouTube and BitChute. Some
of the evidence she presents seemed rather innocuous or speculative to me and other elements
were probably based upon her unfamiliarity with American society and culture. But a great deal
of extremely suspicious material remains, and I would suggest that people watch the videos and
decide for themselves.
Around the same time that I first became familiar with the details of the Pizzagate
controversy, the topic also started reaching the pages of my morning newspapers, but in an
rather strange manner. Political stories began giving a sentence or two to the "Pizzagate
hoax," describing it as a ridiculous right-wing "conspiracy theory" but excluding all relevant
details. I had an eery feeling that some unseen hand had suddenly flipped a switch causing the
entire mainstream media to begin displaying identical signs declaring "Pizzagate Is False --
Nothing To See There!" in brightly flashing neon. I couldn't recall any previous example of
such a strange media reaction to some obscure Internet controversy.
Articles in the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times also suddenly appeared denouncing
the entirety of the alternative media -- Left, Right, and Libertarian -- as
"fake news" websites promoting Russian propaganda , while urging that their content be
blocked by all patriotic Internet giants such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google. Prior to that
moment, I'd never even heard the term "fake news" but suddenly it was ubiquitous across the
media, once again almost as if some unseen hand had suddenly flipped a switch.
I naturally began to wonder whether the timing of these two strange developments was
entirely coincidental. Perhaps Pizzagate was indeed true and struck so deeply at the core of
our hugely corrupted political system that the media efforts to suppress it were approaching
the point of hysteria.
Not long afterward, Tara McCarthy's detailed Pizzagate videos were purged from YouTube. This
was among the very first instances of video content being banned despite fully conforming to
all existing YouTube guidelines, another deeply suspicious development.
I also noticed that mere mention of Pizzagate had become politically lethal. Donald Trump
had selected Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, as his
National Security Advisor, and Flynn's son served as the latter's chief of staff. The younger
Flynn happened to Tweet out a couple of links to Pizzagate stories, pointing out that the
accusations hadn't yet been actually investigated let alone disproven, and very soon afterward,
he was
purged from the Trump transition team, foreshadowing his father's fall a few weeks later.
It seemed astonishing to me that a few simple Tweets about an Internet controversy could have
such huge real-life impact near the top of our government.
The media continued its uniform drumbeat of "Pizzagate Has Been Disproven!" but we were
never told how or by whom, and I was not the only individual to notice the hollowness of such
denunciations. An award-winning investigative journalist named Ben Swann at a CBS station in
Atlanta broadcast a short television segment summarizing the Pizzagate controversy and noting
that contrary to widespread media claims, Pizzagate had neither been investigated nor debunked.
Swann was almost immediately purged by CBS but a copy of his television segment remains
available for viewing on the Internet.
There is an old wartime proverb that enemy flak is always heaviest over the most important
target, and the remarkably ferocious wave of attacks and censorship against anyone broaching
the subject of Pizzagate seems to raise obvious dark suspicions. Indeed, the simultaneous waves
of attacks against all alternative media outlets as "Russian propaganda outlets" laid the basis
for the continuing regime of Social Media censorship that has become a central aspect of
today's world.
Pizzagate may or may not turn out to be true, but the ongoing Internet crackdown has
similarly engulfed topics of a somewhat similar nature but with vastly stronger
documentation. Although I don't use Twitter myself, I encountered the obvious implications of
this new censorship policy following McCain's death last August.
The senator had died on a Saturday afternoon, and readership of Sydney Schanberg's long
2008 expose quickly exploded, with numerous individuals Tweeting out the story and a large
fraction of our incoming traffic therefore coming from Twitter.
This continued until the following morning, at which point the huge flood of Tweets
continued to grow, but all incoming Twitter traffic suddenly and permanently vanished,
presumably because "shadow banning" had rendered those Tweets invisible.
My own article on McCain's very doubtful war record simultaneously suffered the same fate,
as did numerous other articles of a controversial nature that we published later that same
week.
BREAKING NEWS: Here's Why the Mayor of Moscow's Wife Paid Hunter Biden $3.5 Million And
Likely More!
According to US treasury documents provided by the Senate Finance and Homeland Security
Committees, Hunter Biden was paid $3.5 million from the Mayor of Moscow's wife.
The report by the Senate Finance and Homeland Security Committees was released last month
and it was devastating.
Hunter Biden received a $3.5 million wire transfer from Yelena Baturina, the wife of the
former mayor of Moscow.
Until today we didn't know why Yelena Baturina paid Hunter millions of dollars.
According to emails and documents, Yelena Baturina laundered funds into the US in
avoidance of sanctions, Devon Archer claimed the firm received $200 million.
Emails provided by Matthew Tyrmand come directly from Hunter associate's Gmail account.
They are still hosted on Google's servers. Bevan Cooney flipped and gave his login info.
The sky is blue, water is wet and women have secrets.
Might as well add: " Politicians are dishonest." That is not an "October Surprise". More
like ....duuuuuh.
Not sure where the moral contest lies between Biden and Trump. Perhaps that Trump wears
his corruption on his sleeve?
truth or go home , 26 minutes ago
Anyone who was paying attention knew all about this at least 5 years ago. It's not an
October surprise.
Biden has been successfully playing the political game for almost 50 years. He should know
better than to put his hand in the cookie jar for his son over and over, and yet he did it.
It shows you all you need to know about his character.
But you already knew that too. The fact that he is even in the position to run for
President at his age and with clear mental decline beginning to show means he is fully
beholden to the deep state. He is and will be a total puppet of the machine.
The election is down to this: Do you want a nice guy who is a sellout and a puppet and
will do and say whatever the money masters want him to? or do you want a complete ******* who
tells the truth, but gets shut down at every turn?
HarryKallahan , 4 minutes ago
Looks like Hunter's job has always been being the 'bag man'.

Breaking news
Holy ****. The Biden's received 3.5 million dollars in a wire transfer from Yelena
Baturina, the wife of the former mayor of Moscow , to launder Russian funds into the US in
order to avoid US sanctions. The fund that was laundered this way was 200 million dollars,
and for this job, the Biden's was compensated with the net sum of 3.5 million dollars. If
this is not a crime , what is?
Hunter Biden profited from his father's political connections long before he struck
questionable deals in countries where Joe Biden was undertaking diplomatic missions as vice
president. In fact, virtually all the jobs listed on his resume going back to his first
position out of college, which paid a six-figure salary, came courtesy of the former six-term
senator's donors, lobbyists and allies , a RealClearInvestigations examination has found.
Hunter Biden: Through a lawyer, he maintained he and his father dutifully avoided "conflicts
of interest." Democratic National Convention/YouTube
One document reviewed by RCI reveals that a Biden associate admitted "finding employment"
for Hunter Biden specifically as a special favor to his father, then a Senate leader running
for president. He secured a $1.2 million gig on Wall Street for his young son, even though it
was understood he had no experience in high finance. Many of his generous patrons, in turn,
ended up with legislation and policies favorable to their businesses or investments, an RCI
review of lobbying records and legislative actions taken by the elder Biden confirms.
That the 50-year-old Hunter has been trading on his Democratic father's political influence
his entire adult life raises legal questions about possible influence-peddling, government
watchdogs and former federal investigators say. In addition, the more than two-decades-long
pattern of nepotism casts fresh doubt on Joe Biden's recent statements that he "never
discussed" business with his son, and that his activities posed "no conflicts of interest."
No fewer than three committees in the Republican-controlled Senate have opened probes into
potential Biden family conflicts. Investigators are also poring over Treasury Department
records that have flagged suspicious activities involving Hunter's banking transactions and
business deals that may be connected to his father's political influence.
U.S. ethics rules require all government officials to avoid even the appearance of a
conflict of interest in taking official actions. The Bidens have denied any wrongdoing.
While most of the attention on Hunter has focused on his dealings in Ukraine and China when
his father was in the White House, he also cashed in on cushy jobs and sweetheart deals
throughout his dad's long Senate career, records reveal.
"Hunter Biden's Ukraine-China connections are just one element of the Biden corruption
story," said Tom Fitton, president of the Washington-based watchdog group Judicial Watch, who
contends Biden used both the Office of the Vice President and the Senate to advance his son's
personal interests.
In each case, Hunter Biden appeared under-qualified for the positions he obtained. All the
while, he was a chronic abuser of alcohol and drugs, including crack cocaine, and has cycled in
and out of no fewer than six drug-rehab treatment programs, according to published reports.
He's also been the subject of at least two drug-related investigations by police, one in 1988
and another in 2016, according to federal records and reports. A third drug investigation
resulted in his discharge from the U.S. Navy Reserve in 2014.
This comprehensive account of Hunter Biden's "unique career trajectory," as one former
family friend gently put it, was pieced together through interviews with more than a dozen
people, several of whom insisted on anonymity to describe private conversations, and after an
in-depth examination of public records, including Securities and Exchange Commission filings,
court papers, campaign filings, federal lobbying disclosures, and congressional documents.
Hunter Biden's resume begins 24 years ago. Here is a rundown of the plum positions he has
managed to land since 1996, thanks to his politically connected father and his
boosters:
1996-1998: MBNA Corp.
Fresh out of college, credit-card giant MBNA put him on its payroll as "senior vice
president" earning more than $100,000 a year, plus an undisclosed signing bonus. Delaware-based
MBNA at the time was Biden's largest donor and
lobbying the Delaware senator for bankruptcy reforms that would make it harder for consumers to
declare bankruptcy and write off credit-card debt.
When Tom Brokaw asked Biden in 2008 about whether his son's job was a conflict of interest,
he snapped "Absolutely not." It was an answer he'd repeat many times in the future. NBC
News/YouTube
Besides a job for Hunter, bank executives and employees gave generously to Joe Biden's
campaigns – $214,000 total, federal records show – and one top executive even
bought Biden's Wilmington, Del., home for more than $200,000 above the market value, real
estate records show. The exec paid top dollar – $1.2 million – for the old house
even though it lacked central air conditioning. MBNA also flew Biden and his wife to events and
covered their travel costs, disclosure forms show.
Sen. Biden eventually came through for MBNA by sponsoring and whipping votes in the Senate
to pass the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention Act.
When NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw
asked Biden during the 2008 presidential campaign whether it was wrong "for someone like
you in the middle of all this to have your son collecting money from this big credit-card
company while you were on the (Senate) floor protecting its interests," Biden gave an answer he
would repeat many times in the future: "Absolutely not," he snapped, arguing it was completely
appropriate and that Hunter deserved the position and generous salary because he graduated from
Yale.
1998-2001: Commerce Department
Hunter also capitalized on the family name in 1998 when he joined President Clinton's
agency. In spite of having no experience in the dot-com industry, he was appointed "executive
director of e-commerce policy coordination," pulling down another six-figure salary plus
bonuses.
He landed the job after his father's longtime campaign manager and lawyer William Oldaker
called then-Commerce Secretary William Daley, who'd also worked on Biden's campaigns, and put
in a good word for his son, according to public records.
2001-2009: Oldaker, Biden &
Belair
After Republican President George W. Bush took over the Commerce Department, Hunter left the
government and joined Oldaker to open a lobbying shop in Washington, just blocks from Congress,
where he gained access to exclusive business and political deals.
Robert Skomorucha: Hunter had "a very strong last name that really paid off in terms of our
lobbying efforts." LinkedIn
Federal disclosure forms show Hunter Biden
and his firm billed millions of dollars while lobbying on behalf of a host of hospitals and
private colleges and universities, among other clients. In a 2006 disclosure statement
submitted to the Senate, Hunter said his clients were "seeking federal appropriations
dollars."
Hunter won the contract to represent St. Joseph's University from an old Biden family friend
who worked in government relations at the university and proposed he solicit earmarks for one
of its programs in Philadelphia. The friend, Robert Skomorucha, remarked in a press
interview that Hunter had "a very strong last name that really paid off in terms of our
lobbying efforts."
These clients, like MBNA, also favored bankruptcy reforms to make it harder for patients and
students to discharge debt in bankruptcy filings. At the same time Hunter was operating as a
Beltway lobbyist, he was receiving "consulting
payments" from his old employer MBNA, which was still courting his father over the bankruptcy
reforms.
In 2007, Hunter also dined with a private prison lobbyist who had business before a Senate
Judiciary subcommittee Joe Biden chaired, according to published reports. Senate rules bar
members or their staff from having contact with family members who are lobbyists seeking to
influence legislation.
William Oldaker: Did not just make Hunter a rich lobbyist, but secured him a $1 million loan
that went sour. ldaker & Willison
Hunter's lawyer-lobbyist firm was embroiled in a conflict-of-interest controversy in 2006
when it was criticized for representing a lobbyist under investigation by the House ethics
committee. The lobbyist was still taking payments from his old K street firm while working as a
top aide on the House Appropriations Committee. Hunter at the time was lobbying that same
committee for earmarks for his clients.
William Oldaker did not just make Hunter a rich lobbyist. Oldaker also secured a $1 million
loan for him through a bank he co-founded, WashingtonFirst, that Hunter sought for an
investment scheme, which later went sour.
Joe Biden deposited hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign and political action
committee donations at WashingtonFirst, while funneling hundreds of thousands in campaign and
PAC expenditures to Oldaker, Biden & Belair. Joe Biden's payments to Hunter's lobbying
firm, including more than $143,000 in 2007 alone, were listed as "legal services" in Federal
Election Commission filings.
Oldaker did not respond to a request for comment left at his office.
National Group: Hunter won earmarks for the University of Delaware and other Biden
constituents. thenationalgroup.net
2003-2005: National Group
LLP
While serving as a partner at Oldaker, Biden & Belair, Hunter also registered as a
lobbyist for National Group, a lobbying-only subsidiary which shared offices with OB&B and
specialized in targeted spending items inserted into legislation known as "earmarks."
Hunter represented his father's alma mater, the University of Delaware, and other Biden
constituents and submitted requests to Biden's office for earmarks benefiting these clients in
appropriations bills.
2006-2007: Paradigm Companies LLC
In 2005, when Joe Biden was thinking about making another run at the White House, after a
1987 bid that ended in plagiarism charges, his lobbyist son was looking for a new line of work
too.
In early 2006, Wall Street executive and Biden family friend Anthony Lotito said, Biden's
younger brother, Jim, phoned him on behalf of the senator. He said Biden wanted his youngest
son – whom he still called "Honey" – to get out of the lobbying business to avoid
allegations of conflicts of interest that might dog Biden's presidential bid.
"Biden was concerned with the impact that Hunter's lobbying activities might have on his
expected campaign [and asked his brother to] seek Lotito's assistance in finding employment for
Hunter in a non-lobbying capacity," according to a January 2007
complaint that Lotito filed in New York state court against Hunter over alleged breach of
contract in a related venture. (Jim and Hunter Biden denied such a phone call took place as
described.)
Lotito told the court he agreed to help Hunter as a favor to the senator, who had served on
the powerful banking committee. He figured "the financial community might be a good starting
place in which to seek out employment on Hunter's behalf," the court
documents state. But he quickly found that Wall Street had "no interest" in hiring
Biden.
So the Bidens hatched a scheme to buy a hedge fund, "whereby Hunter would then assume a
senior executive position with the company." And Lotito helped broker the deal. Despite having
no Wall Street experience, Biden was appointed interim CEO and president of the Paradigm
investment fund and given a $1.2 million salary, according to SEC filings
. Lotito joined the enterprise as a partner, and agreed to shepherd Hunter, still in his
mid-thirties, through his new role in high-finance.
"Given Hunter Biden's inexperience in the securities industry," the
complaint states, it was agreed that Lotito would maintain an office at the new holding
company's New York headquarters "in order to assist Biden in discharging his duties as
president."
After the venture failed, Lotito sued the Bidens for fraud. The Bidens countersued and the
two parties settled in 2008.
2006-2009: Amtrak
During this same period, Hunter was appointed vice chairman of the taxpayer-subsidized rail
line, thanks to the sponsorship of powerful Democratic Sen. Harry Reid, a political ally of his
father.
Joe Biden: The "senator from Amtrak" had a son from Amtrak too. Michael Perez/AP for
Siemens
In a 2006 statement
submitted to the Senate during his confirmation, Hunter asserted that he was qualified for the
Amtrak board because "as a frequent commuter and Amtrak customer for over 30 years, I have
literally logged thousands of miles on Amtrak."
Amtrak has been a major supporter of Joe Biden, donating to both his Senate and presidential
campaigns and even naming a train station after him in Wilmington. In return, Biden has
supported taxpayer subsidies for the government railroad throughout his political career.
In his testimony, Hunter denied his Amtrak appointment pushed conflict-of-interest
boundaries.
2009- : Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC
Hunter co-founded the investment firm five months after his father moved into the White
House and incorporated it in his father's home state of Delaware, which has strict corporate
secrecy rules.
At the time, Obama had tapped Vice President Biden to oversee the recovery from the
financial crisis. Three weeks after Rosemont was incorporated, Hunter and his partners set up a
subsidiary called Rosemont TALF and got $24 million in loans from the federal program known as
the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility. TALF was designed to help bail out banks and
auto lenders hit by the crisis.
Within months, Rosemont had secured a total of $130 million from the program. Some of the
government cash was then funneled into an investment fund incorporated in the Cayman Islands,
SEC records show. Such offshore
accounts are commonly used to evade taxes.
The move raised ethical flags with government watchdogs who suspected the bailout cash was
used to benefit a well-connected insider.
Other records reveal that another subsidiary created years later – Rosemont Realty
– touted to its investors that board adviser Hunter was politically connected. It
highlighted in a company prospectus that he was the "son of
Vice President Biden."
2009-2012: Eudora Global
On his resume, Hunter also lists himself as "founder" of yet another investment firm. But
Eudora's articles of incorporation show it was actually set up by a major Biden donor, Jeffrey
Cooper, who put Hunter on his board after his father became vice president.
A self-described "friend of the Biden family," Cooper also happened to run one of the
largest asbestos-litigation firms in the country -- SimmonsCooper LLC -- and had courted Biden
to make it easier to file asbestos lawsuits by defeating tort reforms. As a leader on the
Senate Judiciary Committee, Biden had blocked reform
of asbestos litigation every time bills reached the Senate floor.
Cooper's law firm, which directly lobbied the Delaware senator's office to kill such bills,
donated more than $200,000 to Biden's campaigns over the years, as well as his Unite Our States
PAC, FEC records show. In fact, SimmonsCooper was one of Biden's biggest donors
during his failed 2007-2008 run for president, pumping $53,000 into his campaign.
The firm also put up $1 million in investment capital to help his son buy out the Paradigm
hedge fund as part of the arrangement brokered by another Biden family friend, Lotito, to find
non-lobbying work for Hunter.. Thanks in large part to Biden's effort to kill bills reining in
asbestos trial lawyers, SimmonsCooper has hauled in more than $1 billion for alleged asbestos
victims.
Attempts to reach Cooper for comment were unsuccessful.
2009-2016: Boies Schiller
Flexner LLP
When Joe Biden became Vice President, Hunter landed a high-paying, no-show job at the New
York-based law firm, a Democrat shop long tied to the Clintons. Another major Biden donor, the
firm gave him the title "of counsel."
Boies Schiller Flexner: Got Fraud charges against Hunter Biden dismissed, then brought him
aboard. Boies Schiller Flexner
Boies Schiller brought Hunter aboard in 2009 after the Bidens hired the firm to defend
Hunter against charges he defrauded partners in the Paradigm investment venture. Boies Schiller
managed to get the case
dismissed .
In 2014, a corrupt Ukrainian oligarch, who was under investigation and looking to repair his
reputation to attract Western investors, started sending large payments to Boies to support
Hunter for unspecified work. It's unclear what Hunter did for the oligarch, who ran the gas
giant Burisma, but $283,000 showed up at the same time his father was tapped by Obama to play a
central role in overseeing U.S. energy policy in Ukraine.
Boies Schiller has pumped more than $50,000 into Biden's campaigns, Federal Election
Commission records show.
2013-2019: BHR Partners
After Obama named Biden his point man on China policy, Rosemont Seneca set up a joint
venture worth $1 billion with the Bank of China called BHR – and Hunter was named
vice-chairman and director of the new concern.
BHR Partners: Hunter arranged for one of his Chinese partners to shake hands with his
father, the vice president. Beijing approved a business license shortly afterward. BHR
Partners
Following in the shadow of his father's political trajectory, Hunter's new venture won the
first-of-its-kind investment deal with the Chinese government at the same time Biden was
jetting to Beijing to meet with top communist leaders. Secret Service records reveal Hunter
flew to China on Air Force Two with his father while brokering the December 2013 deal. He
arranged for one of his Chinese partners to shake hands with the vice president. BHR was
registered 12 days later. Beijing OK'd a business license shortly afterward.
"No one else had such an arrangement in China," said Peter Schweizer, president of the
Government Accountability Institute.
Hunter resigned from the board of the Beijing-backed equity firm earlier this year as his
father faced growing criticism on the campaign trail over what critics called a glaring
conflict of interest. He did not, however, divest his 10% equity stake in the Chinese fund,
which is estimated to be worth tens of millions of dollars.
Schweizer, whose books include
"Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America's Progressive Elites," said Biden went
"soft" on the Chinese communists so his son could "cash in" on China business deals. Biden
insists he did not discuss the venture with his son before, during or after his official visit
to Beijing. But others see obvious hypocrisy at play in the Biden family's self-dealing in
notoriously corrupt China.
"Biden was one of the most vocal champions of anti-corruption efforts in the Obama
administration. So when this same Biden takes his son with him to China aboard Air Force Two,
and within days Hunter joins the board of an investment advisory firm with stakes in China, it
does not matter what father and son discussed," said Sarah Chayes, author of
"Thieves of State: Why Corruption Threatens National Security." "Joe Biden has enabled this
brand of practice."
2013-2014: U.S. Navy Reserve
Hunter was selected for a direct commission as a public affairs officer in a Virginia
reserve unit.
He clearly received special treatment in securing the part-time post. Officers had to issue
him two waivers – one for his age and one for a previous drug offense.
His vice president father swore him in at the White House in a small, private ceremony.
Barely a year later, authorities booted Hunter from the Navy for cocaine use after he tested
positive from a urine test. The reason for his discharge was withheld from the press for
several months.
2014-2019: Burisma Holdings
The Ukrainian gas giant added Hunter to its board soon after Obama named his father his
point man on Ukraine policy, focusing on energy. The company paid his son as much as $83,000 a
month, even though he had no energy experience to bring to the table and was required to attend
just one board meeting a year.

partner Devon Archer, far left, on April 16, 2014. Burisma put Archer on its board shortly
thereafter, followed by Hunter, far right, the next month. Fox News
At the time, the vice president was steering U.S. aid to Kiev to help develop its gas
fields, which stood to benefit Burisma as the holder of permits to develop natural gas in three
of Ukraine's most lucrative fields. Biden promised Ukrainian officials the US would pump more
than $1 billion into their energy industry and economy during a visit to Kiev in late April
2014. He urged leaders to increase the country's gas supply and to rely on Americans to help
them. Less than three weeks later, Burisma appointed his son to the board, after already
retaining him for undisclosed services through Boies Schiller.
Burisma was run by an oligarch, Mykola Zlochevsky, who was under investigation at the time
and seeking Western protection from prosecution. In a move observers suspect was intended to
send a message to prosecutors, the company sent out a news release in May 2014 claiming,
falsely, that Hunter would be in charge of its "legal unit." Burisma also trumpeted the fact
that Hunter was "the son of the current U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden."
Biden's office was aware Burisma was under investigation. The administration had tried to
partner with the gas company through U.S. aid programs, but the outreach project was blocked
over corruption concerns lodged by career diplomats.

leading a wide-ranging corruption probe into Burisma, and Joe Biden's son was a member of the
board," he said in a recent sworn affidavit

In early 2016, Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees if Ukraine
did not dismiss the country's top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Burisma. "If
the prosecutor is not fired," Biden recalled telling Ukraine's leader, "you're not getting the
money."
Biden's muscling worked: Shokin was sacked in March 2016.
The former vice president says he was carrying out official U.S. policy that sought to
remove an ineffective prosecutor. But Shokin had raided the home of Burisma's owner and seized
his property.
In addition, Shokin said that as part of his probe he was making plans to interview Hunter
about millions of dollars in fees he and his partners had received from Burisma. He insists he
was fired because he refused to close the investigation.
"The truth is that I was forced out because I was leading a wide-ranging corruption probe
into Burisma, and Joe Biden's son was a member of the board," Shokin said in a recent sworn
affidavit
prepared for a European court. "I assume Burisma had the support of Joe Biden because his son
was on the board." He added that the vice president himself had "significant interests" in
Burisma.
The prosecutor who replaced Shokin shut down the Burisma probe within 10 months. Burisma's
founder was also taken off a U.S. government visa ban list.

Biden claims he only learned of his son joining the Burisma board from the news media. But
there is evidence Biden had been consulted in advance. White House visitor logs show that Biden
met with Hunter's business partner Devon Archer on April 16, 2014. Burisma put Archer on its
board shortly thereafter, followed by Hunter the next month. (Both Archer and Hunter maintain
Burisma never came up during the private visit in Biden's office, which lasted late into the
night.)
The day after Joe Biden's meeting with Hunter's partner in the White House, Burisma
executive Vadym Pozharskyi reportedly emailed Hunter to thank him for inviting him to
Washington and "giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent[sic] some time together."
The Biden campaign asserts it cannot find a meeting with Pozharskyi on the former vice
president's "schedule," though it did not deny such a meeting could have taken place. The
Ukrainian official mentioned going out for coffee with Hunter on April 17, 2014, which
indicated he was physically in D.C. at the time. RCI has not confirmed the authenticity of the
April 17 email document, first disclosed by the New York Post after obtaining it from a hard
drive allegedly copied from a laptop of Hunter Biden left at a computer repair shop in
Wilmington, Del. Pozharskyi did not respond to emails seeking comment.
Hunter stepped down from Burisma's board in April 2019, a month before his father announced
his White House bid and after critics made an issue of the conflicts his sinecure posed. He has
since kept a very low profile. Unlike Trump's children, Biden's son is not out on the trail
campaigning for him.
1,850 Boxes Sealed Until After Election
"Hunter Biden had no experience in the field, but he did have a notable connection to the
vice president, who publicly has bragged about making clear to the Ukrainians that he alone
controlled U.S. aid to the country," noted Jonathan Turley, a public-interest law professor at
George Washington University.
Retired FBI official I.C. Smith, who led public corruption investigations in Washington and
Little Rock, Ark., said both father and son should have known joining Burisma was a bad idea,
adding that it gives at least the appearance he was leveraging his name for payoffs from shady
clients abroad.
I.C. Smith, ex-FBI official: "I would think, given Hunter's past, the father would have
asked more questions." icsmith.com
"Clearly he's led a troubled life and would be the sort of person susceptible to becoming
engaged in this sort of rather sordid deal," Smith said of Hunter.
"When he said his father asked if the deal was on the up and up and was assured it was, I
would think, given Hunter's past, the father would have asked more questions," he added.
Hunter acknowledged in an ABC News interview last year that he lacked experience in both
energy and Ukraine, but maintained that Burisma was impressed by other things on his
resume.
"Ironically, Hunter highlighted his work at MBNA and his work on the board of Amtrak as
evidence of his qualifications for the Burisma gig," said Fitton of Judicial Watch. "But both
the MBNA and Amtrak jobs, under any sensible analysis, were obvious favors for Joe Biden."
Fitton argued that Biden's claim he never discussed his son's jobs and business deals rings
hollow against the lengthy record of something-for-nothing nepotism.
"That's campaign spin," he said. "Hunter has already admitted to having at least one
conversation on the Ukraine issue with Vice President Biden."
Biden defenders argue that many relatives of politicians are often involved in government
and politics. Ivanka Trump and Don Trump Jr., for instance, have cozy relationships with, or
financial stakes in, companies that may benefit from those decisions. They also point out that,
while they may look bad, there's nothing illegal about such arrangements.
Fitton isn't so sure. He said Judicial Watch is demanding Obama administration documents
related to Hunter's Ukraine and China deals, as well as other business arrangements potentially
monetizing Biden's political power.
"We can't be sure if the arrangements were legal," he said. "If any payments or jobs were
neither ordinary nor customary, there may be legal issues."
It's a federal crime to provide a government benefit or favorable change in policy in
exchange for something of personal value. At a minimum, argued former federal prosecutor Andrew
McCarthy, Biden "had a conflict of interest with the position his son had" on the Burisma
board, noting that at the time, Biden was pushing energy policies that favored the gas
giant.

Not all of Hunter Biden's critics are coming from the right, either.
"It's hard to avoid the conclusion that Hunter's foreign employers and partners were seeking
to leverage Hunter's relationship with Joe, either by seeking improper influence or to project
access to him," said Robert Weissman, president of Public Citizen, a liberal watchdog group
based in Washington.
The Biden Institute: Maggie Haberman, New York Times White House correspondent, was a

While Joe Biden insists "there's been no indication of any conflict of interest from Ukraine
or anywhere else," Senate investigators are seeking a number of related emails and memos
generated during the Obama administration, as well as his 36-year Senate career. That period,
spanning from 1973 to 2009, coincides with a large chunk of his son's resume.
However, Biden has sealed the bulk of the records at the University of Delaware Library,
which
refuses to release any of his papers until after the election. It maintains more than 1,850
boxes of Biden records, including his speeches, voting records, position papers and notes from
confidential interviews he's conducted with foreign leaders, among other documents. The
papers the
university is keeping a lid on could shed light on Biden's thinking behind foreign policies and
controversial bills he sponsored.
A spokeswoman said the library will not release any of Biden's papers to the public until
they are "properly processed and archived." Until then, "access is only available with Vice
President Biden's express consent," she said, while declining to answer whether the university
would comply if the Senate subpoenaed documents as part of its investigation of the Bidens.
The university houses the Biden Institute, which is part of the Joseph R. Biden, Jr. School
of Public Policy and Administration.
Through a lawyer, Hunter maintained he and his father dutifully avoided "conflicts of
interest" -- or even "the appearance of such conflicts." In every business pursuit, he
asserted, they acted "appropriately and in good faith."
However, in a moment of candor during a recent ABC News interview, Hunter confessed: "I
don't think that there's a lot of things that would have happened in my life if my last name
wasn't Biden," before adding, "There's literally nothing my father in some way hasn't had
influence over."
Still, the elder Biden argues it's the Trump family who has the nepotism problem. In a
recent CBS "60 Minutes" interview, he slammed the president for letting his daughter and
son-in-law "sit in on Cabinet meetings."
"It's just simply improper because you should make it clear to the American public that
everything you're doing is for them," he intoned. "For them."

Crickets from the MSM on the biggest political scandal in history. They can't refute it,
so they simply refuse to cover it.
I'm afraid the American Experiment is over either way, but if Biden and the Dems are
successful in stealing the election, we are destined to be the next Venezuela.
It appears the "Russia, Russia, Russia" cries from Adam Schiff and his dutiful media peons
is dead (we can only hope) as Director of National Intel John Ratcliffe just confirmed to Foxx
Business' Maria Bartiromo that:
"Hunter Biden's laptop is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign."
As Politico's Quint Forgey details
(@QuintForgey) , DNI Ratcliffe is asked directly whether accusations leveled against the
Bidens in recent days are part of a Russian disinformation effort.
He says no:
"Let me be clear. The intelligence community doesn't believe that because there is no
intelligence that supports that."
" We have shared no intelligence with Chairman Schiff or any other member of Congress that
Hunter Biden's laptop is part of some Russian disinformation campaign. It's simply not true.
"
"And this is exactly what I said would I stop when I became the director of national
intelligence, and that's people using the intelligence community to leverage some political
narrative."
"And in this case, apparently Chairman Schiff wants anything against his preferred
political candidate to be deemed as not real and as using the intelligence community or
attempting to use the intelligence community to say there's nothing to see here."
"Don't drag the intelligence community into this. Hunter Biden's laptop is not part of
some Russian disinformation campaign. And I think it's clear that the American people know
that."
So "the emails are Russian" narrative serves the interests of political convenience,
partisan media ratings, and the national security state's pre-planned agenda to continue
escalating against Russia as part of its
slow motion third world war against nations which refuse to bow to US dictates, and
you've got essentially no critical mainstream news coverage putting the brakes on any of it.
This means this narrative is going to become mainstream orthodoxy and treated as an
established fact, despite the fact that there is no actual, tangible evidence for it.
Joe Biden could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and the mainstream
press would crucify any journalist who so much as tweeted about it. Very
little journalism is going into vetting and challenging him, and a great deal of the
energy that would normally be doing so is going into ensuring that he slides right into the
White House.
If the mainstream news really existed to tell you the truth about what's going on,
everyone would know about every questionable decision that Joe Biden has ever made,
Russiagate would never have happened, we'd all be acutely aware of the fact that powerful
forces are pushing us into increasingly aggressive confrontations with two nuclear-armed
nations, and Trump would be grilled about
Yemen in every press conference.
But the mainstream news does not exist to tell you the truth about the world. The
mainstream news exists to advance the interests of its wealthy owners and the status quo upon
which they have built their kingdoms. That's why it's
so very, very important that we find ways to break away from it and share information
with each other that isn't tainted by corrupt and powerful interests.
As we detailed previously, as the Hunter Biden laptop scandal threatens to throw the 2020
election into chaos with what appears to be solid, undisputed evidence of high-level corruption
by former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, the same crowd which peddled the
Trump-Russia hoax is now suggesting that Russia is behind it all .
To wit, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, who swore on National television
that he had evidence Trump was colluding with Russia - now says that President Trump is handing
the Kremlin a "propaganda coup from Vladimir Putin."
Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) has gone full tin-foil , suggesting that Giuliani was a 'key
target' of 'Kremlin constructed anti-Biden propaganda.'
2/ Russia knew it had to play a different game than 2016. So it built an operation to cull
virulently pro-Trump Americans as pseudo-assets, so blind in their allegiance to Trump that
they'll willingly launder Kremlin constructed anti-Biden propaganda.
Yet, if one looks at the actual facts of the case - in particular, that Hunter Biden appears
to have dropped his own laptops off at a computer repair shop, signed a service ticket , and
the shop owner approached the FBI first and Rudy Giuliani last after Biden failed to pick them
up, the left's latest Russia conspiracy theory is quickly debunked .
This is the story of an American patriot, an honorable man, John Paul Mac Issac, who tried
to do the right thing and is now being unfairly and maliciously slandered as an agent of
foreign intelligence, specifically Russia. He is not an agent or spy for anyone. He is his own
man. How do I know? I have known his dad for more than 20 years. I've known John Paul's dad as
Mac. Mac is a decorated Vietnam Veteran, who flew gunships in Vietnam. And he continued his
military service with an impeccable record until he retired as an Air Force Colonel. The crews
of those gunships have an annual reunion and Mac usually takes John Paul along, who volunteers
his computer and video skills to record and compile the stories of those brave men who served
their country in a difficult war.
This story is very simple – Hunter Biden dropped off three computers with liquid
damage at a repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware on April 12, 2019. The owner, John Mac Issac,
examined the three and determined that one was beyond recovery, one was okay and the data on
the harddrive of the third could be recovered. Hunter signed the service ticket and John Paul
Mac Issac repaired the hard drive and down loaded the data . During this process he saw some
disturbing images and a number of emails that concerned Ukraine, Burisma, China and other
issues . With the work completed, Mr. Mac Issac prepared an invoice, sent it to Hunter Biden
and notified him that the computer was ready to be retrieved. H unter did not respond . In the
ensuing four months (May, June, July and August), Mr. Mac Issac made repeated efforts to
contact Hunter Biden. Biden never answered and never responded. More importantly, Biden stiffed
John Paul Mac Issac–i.e., he did not pay the bill.
When the manufactured Ukraine crisis surfaced in August 2019, John Paul realized he was
sitting on radioactive material that might be relevant to the investigation. After conferring
with his father, Mac and John Paul decided that Mac would take the information to the FBI
office in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Mac walked into the Albuquerque FBI office and spoke with an
agent who refused to give his name. Mac explained the material he had, but was rebuffed by the
FBI. He was told basically, get lost . This was mid-September 2019.
Two months passed and then, out of the blue, the FBI contacted John Paul Mac Issac. Two FBI
agents from the Wilmington FBI office–Joshua Williams and Mike Dzielak–came to John
Paul's business . He offered immediately to give them the hard drive, no strings attached.
Agents Williams and Dzielak declined to take the device .
Two weeks later, the intrepid agents called and asked to come and image the hard drive. John
Paul agreed but, instead of taking the hard drive or imaging the drive, they gave him a
subpoena. It was part of a grand jury proceeding but neither agent said anything about the
purpose of the grand jury. John Paul complied with the subpoena and turned over the hard drive
and the computer.
In the ensuing months, starting with the impeachment trial of President Trump, he heard
nothing from the FBI and knew that none of the evidence from the hard drive had been shared
with President Trump's defense team.

ZEROHEDGE DIRECTLY TO YOUR INBOX
Receive a daily recap featuring a curated list of must-read stories.
The lack of action and communication with the FBI led John Paul to make the fateful decision
to contact Rudy Giuliani's office and offer a copy of the drive to the former mayor. We now
know that Rudy accepted John Paul's offer and that Rudy's team shared the information with the
New York Post.
John Paul Mac Issac is not responsible for the emails, images and videos recovered from
Hunter Biden's computer. He was hired to do a job, he did the job and submitted an invoice for
the work. Hunter Biden, for some unexplained reason, never responded and never asked for the
computer. But that changed last Tuesday, October 13, 2020. A person claiming to be Hunter
Biden's lawyer called John Paul Mac Issac and asked for the computer to be returned. Too late.
That horse had left the barn and was with the FBI.
John Paul, acting under Delaware law, understood that Hunter's computer became the property
of his business 90 days after it had been abandoned.
At no time did John Paul approach any media outlet or tabloid offering to sell salacious
material . A person of lesser character might have tried to profit. But that is not the essence
of John Paul Mac Issac. He had information in his possession that he learned, thanks to events
subsequent to receiving the computer for a repair job, was relevant to the security of our
nation. He did what any clear thinking American would do–he, through his father,
contacted the FBI. When the FBI finally responded to his call for help, John cooperated fully
and turned over all material requested .
The failure here is not John Paul's . He did his job. The FBI dropped the ball and, by
extension, the Department of Justice. Sadly, this is becoming a disturbing, repeating
theme–the FBI through incompetence or malfeasance is not doing its job.
Any news outlet that is publishing the damnable lie that John Paul is part of some
subversive effort to interfere in the United States Presidential election is on notice. That is
slander and defamation. Fortunately, the evidence from Hunter Biden's computer is in the hands
of the FBI and Rudy Giuliani and, I suspect, the U.S. Senate. Those with the power to do
something must act. John Paul Mac Issac's honor is intact. We cannot say the same for those
government officials who have a duty to deal with this information.
"In this episode of Common Sense, Rudy Giuliani, who was the trailblazer for RICO
prosecutions in the 1980s, demonstrates how the thirty years of the Biden Family selling public
office, and many other crimes, makes a perfect RICO case." RICO case
Rudy lays out a solid case in the video. I'd say damning. I like the cigar ad too!
Biden has gone silent for four days. He apparently won't re-emerge until the debate
Thursday. That's what they say anyhow. How weird for this point in the election cycle! IMO,
he will probably dodge the debate because he knows Trump will hit him hard with this
material. I even think that at least one Biden will be leaving us, permanently, in the near
future.
Just when I thought the media couldn't defile themselves any further, they will sink to
the bottom of the abyss of unethical behavior to try to save the Democrats. They must either
accept defeat or go full on dictatorship, with all that implies. We are standing at the
crossroads.
The movement to discredit/disqualify any commentary on this story is intesifying. Biden's
cowering in the bunker and Obama's bringing what's left of his reputation to Philly. Lord
knows who'll attend that speech in person unless Covid, like in all the George Floyd events,
is declared risk free for his appearance. The real polling numbers must be horrendously bad
for the left.
What is your confidence that a second term Trump administration will bring those at the
highest levels of government to account unlike the current Trump administration?
What do you believe will change in a second Trump administration? Will Trump hire once
again the same types of people like Rosenstein, Wray, Kelley, Mattis, Bolton, Barr, et
al?
The recent
New York Post bombshell reports on Hunter Biden's alleged laptop contents included a
curious piece of evidence - a photograph of an FBI subpoena which bears the signature of the
agency's top child porn investigator, special agent Joshua Wilson .
According to the Post , a laptop was dropped off at a Delaware computer repair shop by a man
believed by the owner, John Paul Mac Isaac, to be Hunter Biden . The shop owner made a copy of
the hard drive before turning it over to the FBI, which includes incriminating emails detailing
alleged Biden family corruption in Ukraine and China, as well as a 'raunchy, 12-minute video
that appears to show Hunter smoking crack while engaged in a sex act with an unidentified
woman,' as well as ' numerous other sexually explicit images .'
FBI agent Wilson's identity was confirmed by both
Western Journal and
Business Insider , the latter of which compared his signature to a 2012 criminal complaint
and concluded that it "clearly matches the unreversed signature on the subpoena published by
the New York Post ."
As BI notes:
It's unclear whether the FBI employs more than one agent named Joshua Wilson. But the
available evidence seems to show **the Joshua Wilson who signed the subpoena for Hunter
Biden's laptop, and the Joshua Wilson who investigates child pornography for the FBI, are the
same person**. This raises the possibility, not explored by the Post, that the FBI issued the
subpoena for reasons unrelated to Hunter Biden's role in Ukraine and Burisma.
So why is the FBI's top child porn lawyer involved in the Hunter Biden laptop case? OANN 's
Chanel Rion says she's seen the contents of the hard drive, which includes "Drugs, underage
obsessions, power deals," which make "Anthony Weiner's down under selfie addiction look normal
. "

This week, the New York Post
dropped a veritable bombshell smack in the middle of the 2020 presidential battlefield with
a story so explosive it should have reverberated from sea to shining sea for many weeks.
Instead, the news was duly squashed under the jackboot of Twitter and Facebook. The effort to
smother the news backfired, though, instead kicking up a discussion of the social media giants
having too much control over the spread of information that could be of interest to
millions.
As most readers probably know by now, the Post reported this week that Hunter Biden had
introduced his father, Joe Biden, the current Democratic presidential contender, to the head of
Burisma, the Ukrainian energy firm where Hunter was a paid board member. What makes this
revelation so significant is that not only was Joe serving as vice president at the time of the
alleged introduction, but he has gone on record as saying he knew nothing about his prodigal
son's overseas business dealings.
The rabbit hole travels much deeper, however, considering that Joe Biden publicly bragged
about withholding one billion dollars from the Ukrainian government unless it removed a
prosecutor who was investigating Burisma at the time. And deeper still when it is remembered
that Donald Trump was impeached for simply asking the Ukrainian president to investigate Joe
Biden's activities in the country.
Had the social media monsters had no political 'dog in the fight,' so to speak, the Post
story would have lit up Twitter and Facebook like Saturday night at the amusement arcade.
Instead, both platforms quickly yanked the plug on the story, preventing even the Post from
tweeting it out. Twitter explained its decision by saying the article had violated its policy
with regard to "hacked material."
That excuse does not hold a drop of water. According to the Post, Hunter Biden's emails were
found in a laptop delivered to a computer repair shop in Delaware back in April 2019 –
allegedly by Hunter Biden himself. When the laptop was never retrieved, however, the shop owner
assumed legal ownership of the device as was his right. In other words, there was no
illegal hacking of the device, as suggested by Twitter. In fact, the computer repairman was
sufficiently concerned with what he had found on the laptop that he promptly handed the device
over to the FBI, also providing a copy of the hard drive to Rudy Giuliani, a member of Trump's
legal team.
If Twitter was genuinely concerned about the origins of the Biden email story, going so far
as to block even the
government's ability to retweet the Post story, then how does one explain the company's
decision not to interfere with the New York Times and its exposé on Donald Trump's tax
status? After all, the Times never mentioned who provided the US president's financial
documents, which have still not seen the light of day. Think about that. The Post story was
censored over documents it can actually produce, while the Times story was put on the fast lane
to public consumption with zero physical evidence to support its claims.
Why was Twitter not suspicious that the New York Times
had received hacked material, as very well could have been the case? It would be very difficult
to explain that as anything other than naked political interference and meddling, which Silicon
Valley and the Democratic Party, by the way, would have us believe is the sole purview of
Russia.
Should Twitter and Facebook lose Section 230 immunity?
Needless to say, the Republicans, forever whining that they have been unfairly targeted by
Big Tech, have called on Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to appear before the Senate as early as next
week. But we've been down this dead-end road before. Every several months, the Silicon Valley
CEOs make their star-studded photo-ops in Washington, swearing up and down before Congress that
they are detached, apolitical animals, with the end result being that absolutely nothing
changes. Maybe this time around, concerned Republicans (and Democrats) should finally do what
they've been promising for so long, and that is to deprive Big Tech of its immunity by
rescinding Section 230 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
For the uninitiated, Section 230 grants social media companies such as Twitter and Facebook
immunity from legal action taken as a result of bad information posted to its platforms. This
frees Big Tech from having to perform the grueling fact-checking demanded of regular
publishers; rather, they are simply supposed to serve as a free flow of information.
Yet ever since the defeat of Hillary Clinton in the 2016 elections, and the concomitant rise
of Russiagate, Big Tech went against the spirit of Section 230, creating algorithms in its
alleged battle against 'fake news' as a back door to creating its desired narrative. At the
same time, it
outsourced fact-checking to third-party organizations, among them ABC News, Snopes,
Associated Press, and the Atlantic Council, each of which naturally has its own political ax to
grind. With unsettling frequency, however, the ax has an uncanny way of dropping on the
right-leaning creators.
In fact, back in May, Twitter even marked one of Donald Trump's tweets as potentially
misleading. And now it seems that more than just the Republicans have noticed.
This week, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai promised to "move forward
with a rulemaking to clarify" the meaning of Section 230.
Judging by Pai's past record, this may signal a new dawn for social media, in which people
are granted access to platforms that do not censor their content based on political
considerations, as the First Amendment demands. Instead of taking away Big Tech's immunity from
legal responsibility, however, it would be best to keep it intact, on condition there would be
no more monkey business with users' accounts. Nothing less than total free speech. Is this a
dream too far? Possibly.
In any case, it would be poetic justice if the outcome of the 2020 presidential race between
Trump and Biden ultimately comes down to the actions of a Delaware computer repairman, for
repairs are certainly in order at this critical stage in US political history, dependent as it
now is on Big Tech.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) is calling on the FBI to 'come clean' over the agency's involvement
with Hunter Biden's laptop , after refusing to 'confirm or deny' certain details contained in a
whistleblower complaint by a Delaware computer shop owner.
" The FBI has a duty to inform us . If they believe this was maybe Russian disinformation,
they should give us a defensive briefing," Johnson told Fox News ' "Sunday Morning
Futures."
"If, for example, they also believe that what information this whistleblower gave us is
fraudulent, that would also be a crime, and FBI should tell us that."
Host Maria Bartiromo brought up a salient point - that the FBI was allegedly in possession
of Hunter Biden's laptop which contains apparent evidence of pay-for-play corruption in
Ukraine, at the same time Congressional Democrats were impeaching President Trump for asking
Ukraine to investigate exactly that.
"If the FBI was in possession of these emails from Hunter Biden's computer indicating all
of these payouts, why did they not make this public, as President Trump was being impeached
in the Senate about Ukraine?"
Johnson replied: "the larger question really is; if they had this information - and these
are genuine emails which would probably reveal all kinds of things that would have been very
relevant to the impeachment case, why did they sit out? Are they covering up because Hunter
Biden might be engaged in things that also maybe should have been investigated and possibly
prosecuted? Dow we have two systems of justice? One for Democrats, one for Republicans, one for
the well connected, vs. one for the rest of the Americans."
Bartiromo then steered the conversation to national security risks - noting that the
signature of the FBI's top child porn lawyer appeared on the subpoena for Hunter's laptop.
"The subpoena was served by an FBI agent whose name is Joshua Wilson, and over the last five
years he has been working on child pornography issues. Connect the dots - if an FBI agent is
working on child pornography issues for five years, why is he subpoenaing the laptop of Hunter
Biden? Is there a connection here? Should this suggest that there's a child pornography issue
here on that laptop?"
"Well, I think you just made the connection ," Johnson replied. "This is what the FBI has to
come clean about . This isn't a standard investigation... this is something that, as we were
talking about, relates to national security. And if there's criminal activity involved that can
be tied to Hunter Biden or his business associates, or even possibly tied back to members of
the Biden family - well some of these emails indicate that Joe Biden is fully aware of this
."
As we noted on Friday, FBI agent Wilson's identity was confirmed by both
Western Journal and
Business Insider , the latter of which compared his signature to a 2012 criminal complaint
and concluded that it "clearly matches the unreversed signature on the subpoena published by
the New York Post ."

Hunter Biden has most likely been compromised by tapes of him with young girls while he
was in China. When I was traveling back and forth to China a few years ago, I was told by our
Chinese attorney to be very cautious because Americans were always recorded in their hotel
rooms.
It was the policy of the Chinese government. Privacy laws are non existent. All Americans
were taped in the event that any American could be utilized for the benefit of the CCP in the
future.
Also, there are many high end "Karaoke" parlors in China where horizontal refreshment can
be procured. Many Americans frequent these establishments. The girls are beautiful. The
places have cameras everywhere.

The timing of all this is what connects the dots. 3 Laptops were dropped off in early 2019
to the computer repair shop. Work was done and technician tried to get paid for 3-4 months
and have the laptops picked up. This is now fall 2019. Then the Russian Mueller Hoax
Impeachment hits the news, and the technician realizes he is holding dynamite with a lit
fuse, so he contacts the FBI. The coverup begins by December 2019.
NOTE - this is when the Dem Primary Season is kicking off. Bernie is the leader, but no
establishment demorat can stop him and are winnowed out, especially the big donor favorite
Kamalho early on. When Bernie is feared to be the nominee, a full court press for Senile Joe
is made by the establishment to stop him. Pretty obvious now that the establishment was being
extorted by the Chicoms with the original information on these hard drives. Who would be
video taping a PASSED OUT HUNTER, and sex romps by Hunter with chinese girls, other then the
CCP? The message was install compromised Joe...or we take down your party. And Lordy...look
what happened...Senile Joe steamrolled Bernie, and Kamalho became the fallback position. I
could never figure out the reason for the demorats to rig the system for Senile Joe, who was
clearly one of the weakest candidates. It all makes sense when you realize HE was the CCP
Favorite.
They thought the only people that had the blackmail info was the CCP and the demorat
establishment and swamp. The fix was in. They never figured on an idiot crackhead giving the
hard drive evidence to a 3rd party. That wrinkle is now beyond their control and is going to
blow up DC. The Mutual Assured Destruction card has just been played. The ***-puckering on

I could never figure out the reason for the demorats to rig the system for Senile
Joe
Remember Obama stating he wanted a "continuation" of his administration?
It didn't surprise the informed, and understandably a bit cynical, to hear that the FBI
sat on Hunter Biden's laptop instead of seeking justice. The bureau was previously involved
in an illegal plot to take down Donald Trump, after all, and its Deep State elements would
assuredly love to see Joe Biden succeed him in January. So why would they reveal damning
information on their establishment hope? Yet suppressing Huntergate perhaps provided a
secondary benefit:
The information could be used against Biden once he was in office.
This wouldn't be anything new. It's believed that longtime, legendary FBI director J.
Edgar Hoover used "dirt files" on politicians for leverage; for one thing, it's said, this
enabled him to remain bureau head for as long as he wished. William Sullivan, once the number
three official under Hoover,
put it this way: From the moment the director got damning information on a senator, the
man would be "right in his pocket."
So not only could suppressing Huntergate get Biden in office, but then maybe it's, "Nice
presidency you've got there, Mr. Biden -- I'd hate to see anything happen to it."
Didn't Guiliani tell the FBI that they had a copy of Humper's hard drive - or the owner of
the computer business? It all sounds so convenient. No wonder Biden went into hiding, his son
probably told dad what he did and that 50% of the take was too much. Humper maybe gave dad an
ultimatum. Drug addicts are like that "you bring me down, you go down lower." Blackmail can

"more interesting to me and my family ..." NY Post
"Hunter Biden pursued lucrative deals involving China's largest private energy company --
including one that he said would be "interesting for me and my family,"
emails obtained by The Post show .
One email sent to Biden on May 13, 2017, with the subject line "Expectations," included
details of "remuneration packages" for six people involved in an unspecified business
venture.
Biden was identified as "Chair / Vice Chair depending on agreement with CEFC," an apparent
reference to the former Shanghai-based conglomerate CEFC China Energy Co.
His pay was pegged at "850 " and the email also noted that "Hunter has some office
expectations he will elaborate."
In addition, the email outlined a "provisional agreement" under which 80 percent of the
"equity," or shares in the new company, would be split equally among four people whose initials
correspond to the sender and three recipients, with "H" apparently referring to Biden ."
------------
Well, you can see why the Chinese wanted and needed Hunter's expertise. He had demonstrated
his worth with the Ukrainian companies.
And who is the "big guy" for whom Hunter is said to be holding 1o M? pl
Well I expect by the end of next week all them Biden voters via mail will be running to
their Supervisor of Elections offices to retract their votes. Hopefully they are allowed to,
if not, run to the courts.
As to the "Big Guy" It's Pop, you know the one who gets 50% of everything. I read that in one
of Hunters texts to his daughter that Rudy is holding.
The not so widely read Breitbart has a doozy out about Hunter's early business associate
Devon Archer, one going back to 2011. If true it's another on-target salvo to the Biden
family reputation.
...You have undoubtablely heard about the Weineresque hard drive discovery involving Hunter
Biden and his emails. You probably didn't see it on Twitter or Facebook.
Censor the press? Why yes, that's exactly what was done here. Questions from other
competitors in the press? Well those aren't banned; however, it sure looks like the Biden
campaign supplies those to the fake news reporters. Let me suggest one.
Tor, IPFS, and I2P are still available for the moment. If a serious Iron Curtain descends,
uninformed Americans can ask their friends who pirate Internet content to teach them how to
use basic anonymity and pseudonymity tech. That should work for a while, at least.
Eventually, if any hardcore privacy tech attracts mainstream users, we can expect that every
nosy private detective and her cat will have exploits to defeat it, so the march of software
development is never-ending.
However, we are not at the stage where we must teach our neighbors how to use 8kun.top.

All good points and a very timely reminder. How does this Biden total media blackout
control comport with Democrat claims Trump is a dictator, that we will lose America if Trump
is re-elected and we must all end Trump's reign of authoritarian control?
So glad I never signed up for Twitter, do not have a Facebook account and don't even own a
cell phone. Yet the Biden "news" still broke through the high-tech censorship Wall. Democrats
are patently schizophrenic about "open borders".
regarding C-Span: " In related news C-SPAN suspends political editor Steve Scully. Yes, he
was going to be the presidential debate moderator at the second debate; now he admits he lied
about his Twitter feed being hacked. Blue, check."
I watch C Span online; have done so for years. I think C Span is one of the more insidious
of the media outlets, precisely because people think it is so "fair and balanced," "not like
Fox or CNN" that have an obvious bias.
C Span's unobvious bias is what you don't hear -- never, ever hear, and that is any word
that disparages ADL, AIPAC, or the narratives they and their myriad associated organizations
hold dear.
Steve Scully has been one of the fiercest defenders of that invisible protective barrier,
their Golden Boy for most of his career and most of C Span's existence. Maybe Scully is
becoming too expensive: C Span has begun posting advertisements before granting access to
live stream programs.
Or perhaps he's aging out. The people who ensure the above-mentioned policies prevail are
unabashed about their practice of hand-picking people like Scully: Irish, Catholic, innocent
choir-boy appearance.
As Plaintiff's Exhibit #1 I offer statements from Anita Weiner's Expanding Historical
Consciousness: The Development of the Holocaust Education Foundationhttps://tinyurl.com/y5q7eg5v
a book describing how, in the late-1980s and early 1990s Zvi Weiss proceeded step-by-step to
include "holocaust education" first at Northwestern University, where Weiss selected Irish
Catholic scholar of German history Peter Francis Hayes, spent $3000 for a substitute teacher
for Hayes's classes while he spent the semester in Israel being prepped to spearhead Weiss's
agenda. Weiss's success at Northwestern propelled him next to Notre Dame, then to
universities across the country, and then to US military academies. In 2013 a department of
holocaust studies became fully integrated into Northwestern University; it's reasonable to
assume Northwestern is not alone in this.
With respect to this hard drive, the Washington Post has an article saying that the White
House was warned last year that Rudy Giuliani was "the target of an influence operation by
Russian intelligence." The source of that information is, of course, "sources who
demanded anonymity to discuss sensitive information" and some "intercepted
communications."
So from that we are to assume that the Hunter Biden hard drive is not real, but is a
subterfuge created by the FSB, or the GRU, or perhaps by Putin himself.
The absolutely dumbest part of it all was that, by banning the Post, Twitler and Faceplant
have created more interest in the story than had they ignored it. Even NPR had to cover the
reaction to the ban, whilst curiously omitting mention of the details of the EMails.
With respect to the reporters, did anyone call the referenced person in Ukraine? Did
anyone call the local FBI and ask what happened? Did anyone ask any of the Bidens? With
respect to discrediting anyone associated with Trump, including Guliani, where have you been
since 2016?

Attorney Adam Mueller urged the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in New York on Tuesday to
reverse an earlier federal court ruling to unseal Maxwell's deposition. The British socialite
is charged with enabling Epstein's sexual abuse of underage girls – some allegedly as
young as 14 years old – but denies any wrongdoing.
The revelation of "intimate, sensitive, and personal" details in the deposition will
violate Maxwell's right against self-incrimination, Mueller argued, adding that those facts may
also imperil a fair trial as jurors may show prejudice towards his client.
We're concerned about preserving the status quo. There's going to be a public criminal
trial, and this will all be aired in open court... We think that vindicates the public
interest as well.
Maxwell's 418-page testimony was provided during a civil defamation suit brought by Virginia
Giuffre, who claims Epstein kept her as a "sex slave" and that the British socialite
acted as an accomplice. The deposition was filled with suggestive questions, her lawyer said,
arguing that some of Maxwell's answers could be just as "revealing" as an admission of
wrongdoing.
Meanwhile Giuffre's lawyer, David Boies, insists the deposition should be unsealed in an
"even-handed way" to ensure no context is lost, arguing there is a "substantial
presumption" of public access to the material.
Financier Jeffrey Epstein, who had many friends among US elites, died in an apparent suicide
at a Manhattan jail last year as he was awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. His former
confidant Maxwell was arrested in July and remains in custody, as the 58-year-old was deemed an
unacceptable flight risk. Mickey Mic 17 hours ago The judge ruled that the documents should be
unsealed. Ms. Maxwell has yet again sought to muddy the water as the clock clicks closer to
midnight. The federal agents who arrested Maxwell found a cellphone wrapped in tin foil inside
of her New Hampshire home in "a misguided effort to evade detection," prosecutors said Monday.
Prosecutors revealed new details of what took place the day Maxwell was arrested and argued
they underscore the risks of allowing her out of detention. They also pointed to her wealth,
saying she controls a Swiss trust worth $4 million and has an account in England that has at
times held over $2 million. "To the extent the defendant now refuses to account for her
ownership of or access to vast wealth, it is not because it does not exist it's because she is
attempting to hide it," prosecutors wrote. She shouldn't be able to delay the unsealing of
anything. Just put her on trial and let us see the court see the evidence (or lack thereof). If
she truly has nothing to hide...then why is she always trying to hide things? Maxwell former
girlfriend of Epstein; believes the convicted pedophile was murdered while awaiting trial and
fears the same ? Notice how the story was swept under the rug as quick as facts started to
emerge ? Covid, Riots kept the heat off the MSM who was found guilty of suppressing the facts

"It is a film that is very misunderstood with some audiences, uniquely within the United
States,"
Deadline quoted Sarandos as saying on Monday at the Mipcom online trade show for
entertainment content distributors. "The film speaks for itself."
The statement marked Sarandos' first public comments on the controversy since a grand jury
in Tyler County, Texas last month indicted Netflix for promoting "lewd exhibition"
of the genitals or pubic area of underage children. The indictment said the material
"appeals to the prurient interest in sex and has no serious literary, artistic, political or
scientific value."
Netflix said last week that the charge was "without merit" and that ' Cuties' was "social commentary against the
sexualization of young children."
But lawmakers called for a federal investigation of whether Netflix violated
child pornography laws by distributing the film, and Democrat US Representative Tulsi
Gabbard said ' Cuties' would "whet the appetite of pedophiles and fuel the child
sex-trafficking trade." Republican senator from Texas Ted Cruz, meanwhile, has asked US
attorney general to investigate whether Netflix violated federal laws against child
pornography. A boycott campaign to cancel Netflix subscriptions erased $8 billion of Netflix's
market value as a publicly traded company in two days.
Sarandos didn't expect such intense controversy, especially after the film was shown in
Europe without much pushback. "It's a little surprising in 2020 America that we're having a
discussion about censoring storytelling," he said.
Ironically, Netflix was criticized in August for using a promotional poster that sexualized
underage girls in ' Cuties,' while the poster used for the film in Europe was relatively
innocuous.
The storytelling in ' Cuties' included sexualized dance routines by preteen girls and
a scene in which a girl pulls down her underwear and takes a picture of her
genitals to post online. Other storytelling in the movie includes close-up shots of the girls'

misunderstanding. Lets start with the fact that the main actors are 13 years old. Nothing
inherently wrong with having 13 year old actors, but lets take a look at what they are doing in
the movie. "Twerking : The rhythmic gyrating of the lower fleshy extremities in a lascivious
manner with the intent to elicit sexual arousal." And perhaps now you see the problem. But
perhaps I still do not understand, I don't understand how the sexual objectification of 13 year
old children can possibly be construed as anything but wrong. Before this movie came out, if a
convicted sex offender had footage of this type on his phone he would be rapidly sentenced to
another jail term as a repeat sex offender, and rightly so. Now he or his lawyer can argue that
whatever footage he has on his phone that has 13 year olds acting with the intent to elicit
sexual arousal is just art, that it's being misunderstood. After all, there is an entire movie
doing it, so why can't he. Anyone who was involved in this movie, who thought it was a "Jolly
good idea" to make it, anyone who decided to release it into the public domain, and anyone who
attempts to defend it and label those who have issues with it as not being able to understand
it should be locked up. It's child pornography. If they don't understand this, me and a couple
hundred thousand fathers will help them understand it, with baseball bats to the part they seem
to be thinking with. Reply 3 ivyp 13 hours ago cancelling netflix as we speak Reply 15 1 Show 2

Art, as an expression of human emotion and imagination, is so timeless that it evades
definition. No two people can agree on what constitutes "good art," or even what art is at all.
Art can be beautiful or ghastly, sublime or pedestrian, simple or complex, affirming or
contentious. But in these wide and diverse interpretations, should any action or image be
permitted in the name of art?
That is the far-reaching question that ought to be asked following the contested release of
the film Cuties . A French film being distributed through the streaming service Netflix,
Cuties tells the story of an eleven-year old French-Senegalese Muslim girl whose
identity is split between her traditionally minded heritage and her interest in joining an
adult-style dance troupe.
While the film carries an overall message that the sexualization of young girls leads to
negative, unhealthy results, it does so by presenting the viewer with unconscionable, extended
camera shots of the girls' butts and groins as they perform provocative, sexualized dance
routines. The director's choice to go beyond visual necessity, and compel the film's audience
to ogle the girls, is wholly unethical.
Additionally, it was a purposeful decision by Netflix executives to utilize the sexual
exploitation of children in the marketing of the film. The American poster, unlike its French
counterpart, shows the girls in their skimpiest outfits while in dramatic, adult poses. The
trailer, edited by Netflix, portrays the film as an inspiring story of liberation, with none of
the anti-sexualization themes found in the full-length feature. The Netflix brand has become
synonymous with the promotion of children as sex objects.
Besides the immense pushback Cuties has received from the American public, its
distribution may also come under review by the Justice Department. Multiple members of Congress
have separately sent letters to the U.S. Attorney General asking, in the
words of Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), whether the "filming and production of 'Cuties' violated
any federal laws against the production and distribution of child pornography." The possibility
of legal consequences has already been
described as a baseless overreaction.
What today's culture warriors don't realize is that they've already settled into battle
lines drawn over thirty years ago.
Robert Mapplethorpe was a photographer who specialized in black-and-white images and was
known for including risqué elements of the underground gay sex scene into his work. In
1988, with the assistance of the Institute of Contemporary Art at the University of
Pennsylvania, he coordinated a new exhibit entitled "The Perfect Moment." It was partially
funded by a $30,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), a government agency
founded in 1965 to provide financial support to American art initiatives. It was the last show
he organized before his death in March 1989 of AIDS. He was 42 years old.
"The Perfect Moment" was composed of 175 photographs, most ranging from celebrity portraits
to flowers. Seven of the photos, however, gained infamy in public life as particularly obscene.
Five of them, dubbed the "X-Portfolio," featured homosexual and sadomasochistic behavior and
acts. The two others, titled "Jesse McBride" and "Rosie," were of exposed children. The first
was of an eight-year-old boy, sitting on an overstuffed chair in the nude. The second was of a
three-year old girl in a dress sitting on a bench outdoors; her right leg is propped up, making
her vagina fully visible.
When arch-conservative Senator Jesse Helms of North Carolina became aware of the exhibition,
which was set to be showcased at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., he went on a
crusade against indecency. Helms photocopied pictures of the photographs and distributed them
to other members of Congress in folders marked "personal and confidential." Over one hundred
signatures were collected by congressmen who were outraged that the exhibit had received NEA
funding.
Under scrutiny from both Congress and the public, the Corcoran Gallery cancelled the exhibit
three weeks before opening day. The artist community and gay rights groups were infuriated.
They organized a 900-person protest outside the Corcoran and used high-powered projectors to
cast fifty-foot enlargements of Mapplethorpe's photographs over the side of the building. The
crowd applauded and whistled as giant pictures of children's genitals overlooked 17th
street.
Later that summer, Jesse Helms introduced an amendment to an appropriations bill stipulating
that no federal money would be used to "promote, disseminate, or produce obscene or indecent
materials, including but not limited to depictions of sadomasochism, homoeroticism, the
exploitation of children, or individuals engaged in sex acts." Passed in 1990 with toned-down
language, the "obscenity" clause remains in force today.
Artists, bohemians, and counter-culture enthusiasts objected that Helms was motivated only
by bigotry, a homophobe possessed of a small mind that sought to censor art and limit freedom
of expression.
"I do not propose that Congress censor artists," the senator insisted. "I do propose that
Congress put an end to the use of federal funds to support outrageous 'art' that is clearly
designed to poison our culture. Those who insist on producing such garbage should be required
to do it on their own time and with their own money. Taxpayers should not be required to pay
for it."
"Mapplethorpe was a talented photographer. He took some good photographs," Helms conceded.
"But the ones we are talking about, and the ones we have been talking about, are pictures that
deliberately promoted homosexuality and child molestation, and other activities that I cannot
even discuss on the floor of the Senate."
Rep. Bob Dornan of California was less polite in his characterization. "Robert Mapplethorpe
took pictures of little children He was a child pornographer. He lived his homosexual, erotic
lifestyle and died horribly of AIDS," the Congressman said.
The authorities of Cincinnati, Ohio certainly agreed. In April 1990, when "The Perfect
Moment" was mounted at the city's Contemporary Arts Center, both the museum and its director
were charged with pandering obscenity and child pornography. It marked the first criminal
prosecution of a museum for one of its exhibits in U.S. history. That fall, following a ten-day
trial, a Cincinnati jury acquitted the center of all charges.
But that wasn't the end of litigation. In 2014, Mark Bolles was arrested in Texas for
viewing pictures of nude children on a public library computer. A search of his phone revealed
an image of Mapplethorpe's "Rosie," and a second cropped image that was zoomed in on the
three-year old's vagina. Bolles was convicted of possessing child pornography and was sentenced
to two years in prison; a decision later upheld by the Texas
court of criminal appeals.
Today, Mapplethorpe and his photographs have become martyrs for the anti-bourgeois. The
Washington Post , for instance, has waged a thirty-year campaign celebrating Mapplethorpe
against what it sees as provincial and prudish conservatives. In 2016 the Post
called the protest outside the Corcoran "dazzling" and "stunning," while last year it
lovingly
described Mapplethorpe's photographs as "innocent" and "childlike." So when the corporate
press defends Cuties by labeling its critics "
scandal-mongers " who are "
terrified of child sexuality ," it's all within the same pattern of behavior.
"There is in the professional art world a sentimental attachment to the idea that art is at
its best when it is most extreme and disruptive," wrote
Hilton Kramer, chief art critic of the New York Times , in 1989. "In lieu of an
authentic avant-garde in art, we now have something else -- that famous 'cutting edge' that
looks more and more to an extra-artistic content for its fundamental raison-d'etre."
The same problem continues today. "A lot of times, unfortunately, I think people get lost in
thinking something's art and they don't realize how inappropriate it is," commented Grace Randolph, film
critic and entertainment journalist, regarding Cuties . "I feel like a lot of times
critics, artists, they get so lost in pushing the edge of the envelope."
The art establishment must stop viewing itself as separate from, or even above, the
respectable standards of our society. "Controversial" and "offensive" cannot continue to be
synonyms for "good art." When people defend Mapplethorpe's photographs of children, or the
marketing of Cuties , they step too closely to the cinematic line of Jack Nicholson's
Joker in defense of his own cruelty: "I make art until someone dies."

The US Virgin Islands Attorney General has subpoenaed 21 years' worth of deceased pedophile
Jeffrey Epstein's flight logs, reportedly striking fear in the hearts of high-profile
passengers not yet exposed as Lolita Express riders.
Passenger logs for Epstein's four helicopters and three planes have been subpoenaed by
Virgin Islands AG Denise George, who recently sued the disgraced financier's estate for 22
counts including human trafficking, child abuse, neglect, prostitution, aggravated rape, and
forced labor, according to a Sunday report by the UK Mirror.
In addition to the passenger lists, George has requisitioned " complaints or reports of
potentially suspicious conduct " and any " personal notes " the pilots made while
flying Epstein's alleged harem of underage girls around the world. She also wants the names and
contact information of anyone who worked for the pilots – or who " integrated with or
observed " Epstein and his passengers.
Epstein pilot David Rodgers previously provided a passenger log in 2009 tying dozens of
politicians, actors, and other celebrities to the infamous sex offender – including
former US President Bill Clinton, actor Kevin Spacey, and model Naomi Campbell.
However,
lawyers for Epstein's alleged victims have argued that list did not include flights by
Epstein's chief pilot, Larry Visoski, who allegedly worked for him for over 25 years.
" The records that have been subpoenaed will make the ones Rodgers provided look like a
Post-It note ," a source told the Mirror over the weekend, claiming that George's subpoena
had triggered a " panic among many of the rich and famous. "
Epstein's private plane, nicknamed the Lolita Express, counted among its passengers such
luminaries as the UK's Prince Andrew, celebrity lawyer Alan Dershowitz, actor Chris Tucker,
Harvard economist Larry Summers, Hyatt hotel mogul Tom Pritzker, and model agency manager
Jean-Luc Brunel along with Campbell, Spacey, and Clinton (who the logs show flew with Epstein
over two dozen times). However, the passengers who enjoyed his other aircraft have not been
made public – yet.
George has also subpoenaed more than 10 banks – including JPMorgan, Citibank, and
Deutsche Bank – in her quest to get to the bottom of the financial edifice Epstein built
up before he died. The financial institutions have been ordered to submit documents related to
some 30 corporations, trusts, and nonprofit entities tied to the predatory playboy.
Epstein supposedly committed suicide last year in a Manhattan jail facility, while his
accused madam Ghislaine Maxwell remains imprisoned in a Brooklyn detention center awaiting
trial on charges related to child trafficking and perjury after her arrest earlier this year.
Maxwell's lawyers have struggled to keep documents introduced as part of a recent defamation
suit by one of Epstein's alleged victims under seal, insisting the information would deny her a
fair trial.
Private Equity Billionaire Leon Black To Receive Subpoena Over Decades-Long Relationship
With Jeffrey Epstein by Tyler Durden Sun, 08/23/2020 - 16:50
Twitter Facebook Reddit EmailPrint
Officials in the US Virgin Islands plan to subpoena billionaire investor Leon Black over his
decades-long relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to the
New
York Times .
Epstein served as a director on the Leon Black Family Foundation for over a decade, while
the pedophile accepted a $10 million donation for his Gratitude America foundation from Black's
"BV70 LLC" charity.
Meanwhile, after Epstein got out of prison for pedophilia , Black met with the financier at
his company's New York offices. Black also dispatched Apollo co-founder Marc Rowan to attend a
meeting at Epstein's Manhattan mansion with representatives of Edmond de Rothschild Group to
discuss how the two firms could work together more closely, people with knowledge of the
meeting told
Bloomberg in July, 2019.
On Thursday, US Virgin Islands attorney general Denise N. George notified a local court that
she would issue civil subpoenas to Black, founder of Apollo Global Management, as well as
several entities he's tied to, according to the chief clerk of the court.
The subpoenas, copies of which were filed with the court, seek financial statements and
tax returns for a number of entities , including Black Family Partners and Elysium
Management, which oversee some of Mr. Black's $9 billion fortune. Subpoenas will also go to
Apollo and entities that help manage Mr. Black's extensive art collection.
Mr. Black has said Mr. Epstein provided him with advice on tax strategy, estate planning
and philanthropy, but has provided no details. A representative for Mr. Black said the
financier had no further comment.
Mr. Black and his companies paid millions in fees to Southern
Trust Company , which Mr. Epstein set up in the Virgin Islands in 2013 , according to
three people briefed on the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were
not authorized to speak publicly. - New
York Times
According to territorial officials, Epstein claimed that Southern Trust was creating a DNA
data-mining service, and would have a "financial arm." It collected $184 million in fees from
2013 - 2018, though the Times notes that it is unclear how much of that came from Black - who
claims Epstein did no work for Apollo.
Some of the firms about to receive subpoenas include companies which Black has used to build
a staggering art collection which includes works by Pablo Picasso, Edgar Degas and Henri
Matisse.

The requests represent a significant step in Ms. George's efforts to unravel the
mystery of how Mr. Epstein amassed an estate valued at more than $600 million. They are
part of a civil forfeiture suit she filed against his estate in January, claiming Mr. Epstein
had misled government officials in the Virgin Islands to secure lucrative tax breaks for his
businesses while engaging in sex trafficking and the abuse of underage girls.
Ms. George has also sent subpoenas to banks that handled Mr. Epstein's money, including
JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank . Some of the payment information involving Mr. Black
surfaced during a review by Deutsche Bank, according to one of the people briefed on the
matter. Deutsche Bank recently reached
a settlement with regulators in New York who found the bank had done little to vet Mr.
Epstein's financial dealings. - New
York Times
Black claims that he was "completely unaware" of Epstein's alleged sex-trafficking ring.
I highly doubt it. Little girls wouldn't be Trump's style. He likes flashy women, tall,
arm candy.
Clinton? Oh, yeah, he'd be in there. He's sleazier.
Trump was born rich and handsome, he never had any problem getting laid. Clinton was poor,
but handsome and smart – he used Epstein for the private jet, the flashy friends, etc.
I'd be very surprised if either one of them was drawn into Epstein's mossad honey-pot.
Epstein's targets were the powerful men who were neither rich enough nor handsome enough
to have a shadow of a hope for nailing the high school cheerleaders. Guys very much like
Epstein himself or his patrons like Wexner or Dershowitz.
Yeah, Trump's completely uncompromised by Israel, which is why he's been a Zionist dream
president while shirking nearly all of his campaign promises to actual Americans.
Did Bill slept with Maxwell? You can expect anything from this sex addict...
Notable quotes:
"... During a fueling stop at a small airport in Portugal, Epstein confidante Ghislaine Maxwell urged Davies to give the former president a massage. ..."
As if it weren't awkward enough for the party that bills itself as a defender of women to feature Bill Clinton at its
convention, photos of the ex-president with one of Jeffrey Epstein's victims surfaced on the day of his speech.
The UK's Daily Mail
published exclusive pictures on Tuesday showing Clinton receiving a massage in 2002 from 22-year-old Chauntae Davies, who was
allegedly raped by billionaire Epstein repeatedly over a period of four years. The
massage
occurred
while Clinton, along with actors Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker, flew with Epstein on the pedophile's infamous
private jet, nicknamed the Lolita Express, on a humanitarian trip to Africa.
According to the
newspaper, Clinton complained of having a stiff neck after falling asleep on the plane. During a fueling stop at a small
airport in Portugal, Epstein confidante Ghislaine Maxwell urged Davies to give the former president a massage. Clinton, who
was 56 at the time, then allegedly said to Davies,
"Would you mind giving it a crack?"
The
photos show Davies massaging Clinton's neck and shoulders as he leans back in his seat at what looks to be a small airport
lounge.
Davies, who worked for
Epstein as a masseuse, said Clinton was a
"perfect gentleman during the trip and I saw
absolutely no foul play involving him."
Nevertheless, the images serve as an untimely reminder of the many sexual misconduct allegations made against Clinton during
his years in politics and of his relationship with Epstein, a convicted sex offender who allegedly
killed
himself
last year at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York while awaiting trial on new sex trafficking charges.
A Clinton spokesman has
said the former president knew nothing about Epstein's crimes and flew on the financier's jet only four times, but
flight
logs
showed that he traveled on the plane dozens of times in 2002 and 2003. Davies and other alleged victims said in a
2020
Netflix
documentary
on Epstein that he had secret surveillance cameras at his properties to gather blackmail-worthy dirt on his
powerful friends.
"The question is, why were they taking pictures of Bill Clinton receiving a massage?"
UK
journalist Paul Joseph Watson said on Tuesday on Twitter.
"And we already know the
answer."
The Daily Mail didn't say
where it obtained the exclusive photos. Maxwell is currently in jail in New York awaiting trial on charges that she
facilitated
Epstein's abuse
of girls as young as 14.
Other Twitter users suggested that far more incriminating pictures are being held back.
"Epstein
took pics and videos of everything, and the FBI has it all,"
one said. Another said:
"If
they took pictures of this, there are most definitely worse things recorded just waiting to come out against people."
Others said Clinton should
be kept away from the Democratic National Convention, including one who tweeted:
"Bruh,
no way they can let this man speak tonight."
Another said:
"And this guy is
headlining the DNC tonight. Can't make this up."
Trump is clean. Well, after laundering so much money for Russian/israeli mafia , yeah,
maybe.
He has known and palled around with Epstein since Epstein was with Bear Stearns in 1978 ,
being hired after his stint at Dalton School where he taught Ace Greensbergs daughter.
Barrs father hired Epstein to teach at Dalton School in 1974 despite him only having a HS
degree. Barr Jr. was working at CIA at the time.
Trumps mentor was a homosexual named Roy Cohn who also ran a sex ring to entrap people,
prostitutes included young boys at parties held in his suite at the Plaza Hotel. After Roy
died in 1986 of AIDS , Trump bought the Plaza Hotel in 1988 and held his own parties, the
nature of which are unknown.
Clinton was attracted to girls like Monica , but who knows, maybe he found younger girls
hot too. When Donald Trump was watching his 16-year-old daughter Ivanka host the 1997 Miss
Teen USA pageant, he turned to the then-Miss Universe and asked: "Don't you think my
daughter's hot? She's hot, right?"
Epstein had a falling out with Trump over a real estate deal in Palm Beach. From some
accounts he tried to trap Trump but got caught. Trump knew what is MO was. Shortly after that
he gets charged. Trump had his own plane and his own property. I doubt he ever needed to go
to the island to sample Epstein's product, unlike Clinton. Besides he knew what Epstein was
up too, knowing Robert and Ghislaine Maxwell like he did before Clinton even ran for
President
Its curious , Trump, Kushners and Epstein all did their banking at Deutsche Bank, famous
for laundering Russian money and playing fast and loose with banking regulations. Deutsche
Banks largest shareholder is Chinese. Trump and Kushners personal wealth manager Rosemary
worked for Epsteins wealth manager at Deutsche (he hired her) who committed suicide a couple
month after Epstein. Deutsche Bank , being sued by shareholders for not being careful enough
dealing with their wealthy clients. That trial may have lead to Trump/Kushner
transactions.
So a guy who used to work for Kroll Moscow kills the judges son. Then suiciding himself.
Kroll was in charge of security for WTC and was owned by AIG. Deutsche Bank incidentally was
the bank that placed PUTS on AA and UA and was connected to Buzzy Krongard at the CIA , which
was connected to Kroll. Deutsche Bank had bought Bankers Trust while Krongard was there , and
it was this arm of Deutsche Bank that placed the PUTS.
Trumps AG Barr says he will investigate the murder. Its curious that Barr was counselor of
the law firm that handled Epsteins case and negotiated the sweet heart deal in 2008. The guy
signing off on the deal was Acosta who then joins the Trump team in 2017
Looking at Barr again. Barrs father hired Epstein in 1974 with his HS degree to teach at
Dalton School while he is at CIA. One of his students was Bear Stearns CEO daughter. Ace
Greenberg was the head of Bear Stearns, and friend of Trump, and hires Epstein in 1978.
Barr and the Clintons reportedly go way back to when Clinton was providing protection for
Bushs Iran-Contra Operation run out of a AK .
Lets look closer at Trumps Barr. He was counsel for the law firm representing Epstein in
2008, not to mention working for law firms handling CIA's Southern Air Transport (Wexner and
Epstein helped them move to Ohio to handle business out of HK in mid 90's) and the head of a
BCCI connected US bank in the 80's (First General) that the Clinton/Bush backer Stevens
attempted to buy on behalf of BCCI. Stevens ran Systematics and used and distributed the
backdoored PROMIS and also hired Foster and Hillary's law firm, and no doubt was a key to
laundering the drug money out of Mena using Clintons bond program set up for that purpose
Last time Barr was AG under Bush Sr. lots of guys were getting snuffed out and
investigations slowed , stonewalled or stopped (BCCI, Inslaw. Iran-Contra).
The same year that Casolaro died for investigating the Octopus, there were several other
suspicious deaths involving people directly connected to the Promis scandal or involved in
Casolaro's investigation of "the Octopus" -- including Alan Standorf, one of Casolaro's
sources; Robert Maxwell, father of Ghislaine Maxwell, Mossad operative, and salesman of the
bugged Promis software; and John Tower -- the former Texas senator who assisted Maxwell in
selling the bugged Promis software to the Los Alamos laboratories, and John Heinz, senator of
PA
John Heinz chaired a three-man presidential review board that probed the Iran-Contra
affair and had in his possession all the damning documents from that affair, while John Tower
led the infamous Tower Commission that investigated a variety of different CIA criminal
activities and dirty dealings and was working on a tell all book. John Heinz and John Tower
died in plane wrecks on successive days in 1991 – Tower in Georgia, and Heinz in
Montgomery County, Pa. John Kerry then marries Heinz widow, a reward perhaps for his role in
the coverup of Bush crimes.
Craig Spence, after his trafficking and exploitation of minors was exposed, died under
mysterious circumstances on 11/11/89. His death was quickly labeled a suicide, not unlike
Jeffrey Epstein's. This was the first year of the Bush administration with Barr working at
the Justice Department
Barr also advised Bush on stonewalling investigations of the CIA when Bush was CIA
Director in the 70's following his stint in China. It was Bush who began the privatization of
the CIA operations after Carter came in and pushed him out and then purged much of the CIA.
He formalized this privatization as VP under Reagan when Barr mysteriously returns to his
side and entities like the CIA front NED were created.
Maybe I am making Barr out to be more than he was but he was connected with so much stuff.
He actually signed off on spying on Americans telephone calls (international) as Bush's AG
before leaving and working for telecom industry before retiring from Verizon in 2009. So no
doubt he was involved in the domestic surveillance that was ramped up after 9/11.
By 1993, after Billy Barr leaves as AG, prosecutors in Illinois and New York who had spent
years investigating Hoffenberg's Towers Financial were able to proceed. In front of a grand
jury in Chicago, federal prosecutor Edward Kohler walked Hoffenberg, who had just agreed to
cooperate with the government, through the design of the scam. In the narrative Kohler laid
out, Epstein was the technical wizard who kept the money moving around to support
Hoffenberg's various schemes.
Epstein was never charged. Curiously Rudy Giuliani was the attorney for Towers
Financial
Food for thought, yah think? Or maybe people cant think anymore,
I think you have Barr about right, but I don't see what you think we are supposed to do
about it? I don't remember anybody here much defending him. It's true I don't read long rants
much, so there might be some. We do have a few Trumpists here, I think, but given the low
quality of the alternatives to Trump, I'm not willing to criticize them.
But your post brought Poppy back to mind, he just runs all through the political
fecklessness in this country these last 70 years or so, he brings to mind LBJ too. But
anyway, now that Poppy has gone to meet his reward, that got me thinking about the changes
that must have take place in his wake. Who is running the governments criminal underground
these days, now that Poppy is gone?

Thank you for that excellent summary of the Epstein, Maxwell racket inc background.
That's MOA At it's best. This entire post is first rate. I in tend to just listen and
learn.
It's on thing knowing about the curuption, another thing being able to do something about it
!
This is why I beleave the only true politics now is street politics, wheather we like it or
not.
There is more now that unites us than devides us. Left Right politics will include a lot of
mistrust.
Media misinformation being the deliberate course of that. Along with media self-censorship.
Until we resolve that. Civil war is enevitable!
Reed was a Vietnam vet, Air Force pilot, then recruited into CIA, worked with private
companies connected with CIA, then continued to tangle himself into training pilots in Mena
AK in the early 80s. The book is an autobio which they always leave a ton of stuff out-- I
will when I write mine (LOL)- but Reed tells the story of the Contra cocaine/arms ratline
running through Bill Clinton's Arkansas, names names: Barr, HW Bush, Barry Seal, HW's friend
Felix (he killed Che)Rodriguez,the drug addled--and involved-- Bush boys (W and Jeb). At one
point in his story Barr appears in Arkansas and threatens Clinton.
If anyone can refute this story please do. I have not been able to in over 20 years. The book
is hard to get now, very expensive, but might be in some libraries. disappeared from
mine.
Here's a youtube clip on him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H01_dY6atfc
Bottom line, my guess is that Reed was like many, ambitious young up and comer who used his
position and skills to climb until he found himself in a tangled web: a mafia cell that
easily could have snuffed him. Barr, Clintons, Bush's,... they're all players and they play
by mafia rules.
Barr...
He's in way deeper than Trump. I suspect that he is connected with the highest levels in the
CIA which means the people who want Trump to go away along with the few remaining who think
Trump is a useful idiot.
If you watch the mainstream media watch how they portray Barr. My prediction: he will not be
harmed.
Bottom line... Trump's "friends" are squirming, moving and re-positioning.
when we talk about mena arkansas, don't forget that clinton was kissing reagan's butt on
that drug smuggling/terrorist supply network, i don't think he was that addled at that point,
so the buck stops with him, being president and making a career of supporting terrorists in
central and south america.
Let me know when you actually get to any dirt. All I see is innuendo and tying together
his acquaintances.
Seems like an awful lot of brain power spent on something unlikely to bear any good fruit.
But maybe it just needs more time to ripen.
In the mean time, my comment stands. Trump was probably not engaged in any of that
activity involving innocents. His dip into Stormy Daniels is proof enough to me that he has
simple taste and worlds apart from the more refined and cultivated taste of whisking minors
to secret islands to have your way. /sarc
IMO, he continually seats himself at a different table for elites. His breakup with
Epstein probably also follows this logic: Epstein was trying harder and harder things, as
elites do, and POTUS probably sought better ties or not to be acquainted with such scum.
Truly excellent rebuttal to NemesisCalling and everyone else that thinks that Trump is
"looking clean" wrt Epstein.
Trump is not the "populist outsider" that his fans, sycophants, and apologists claim him
to be. He's an insider that has been around a long, long time. I see him as more of an
opportunist and social climber though. Qualities instilled in him by his over-bearing father.
As such, he's an enabler.
Multiple posts about Bill Barr's insider status. Don't see one that mentions he was born
CIA. His father Donald Barr was OSS and original 1947 CIA. His career move to be an
"educator" only meant that he worked in recruitment.
The CIA has factions. We are not privileged to know much about them. Barr's loyalty is
more likely with the company than withTrump.
In recently unsealed court documents involving dead child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein
and his alleged accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, a woman named Virginia Giuffre, who publicly
accused Epstein of sex trafficking, said that she once saw former Democratic President Bill
Clinton on Epstein's island with "two young girls" from New York.
In the questioning by lawyer Jack Scarola, Guiffre was asked, "Do you have any
recollection of Jeffrey Epstein's specifically telling you that 'Bill Clinton owes me
favors?'"
"Yes, I do," Guiffre answered. "It was a laugh though. He would laugh it off. You know, I
remember asking Jeffrey what's Bill Clinton doing here [on Epstein's island] kind of thing,
and he laughed it off and said well he owes me favors."
Interesting extract from Xymphora's July 31 blog entry...
Tweet (trappedpatriot):
"So they screwed up bigtime on the redactions for the Ghislaine Maxwell release today.
You can literally copy and paste the redacted pages into notepad and read them. Check out
document #143 for a great example. #Epstein #Maxwell"
The trick works (I'd like to think it is not a mistake but some direct action by a
court employee who is tired of all the lies). From document #143 (a deposition of Maxwell
where her lawyer instructs her not to answer most, but not all, questions:
...
I can wait for the Official Version but I'd be interested to hear if any of MoA's resident
sleuths have found the copy/paste assertion to be true?
It looks like they highlighted what was to be redacted in adobe instead of scanning
redacted documents manually.
Somebody screwed up? Intentionally? Mistrial for Maxwell?
Looks like Clinton "dicking (underage) blondes." I am shocked!
Trump is looking clean and I would have already guessed it with his foray into the porn
industry w/ Stormy Daniels. Whereas with paedophiles, it is about power and domination, when
you are into a chick like Daniels, you are staying simple and "keeping your cart wheel in
worn ruts." (Tao Te Ching)
Newly unsealed files tied to the Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking case imply that former US President Bill Clinton visited the
investor's private island along with "young girls," and that the FBI knew well about the minors' abuse.
Comprising hundreds of pages of documents, the trove was released on Thursday night following a judge's order last week to have
it unsealed, over the objections of Ghislaine Maxwell, a former girlfriend to Epstein who has recently been charged as an accomplice
in his alleged sex-trafficking operation.
The records stem from a 2015 defamation suit filed by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, which was placed under lock and key after
the case was settled in 2017, but was recently unsealed, as a result of a lawsuit brought last year by conservative blogger Mike
Cernovich and the Miami Herald newspaper.
Among other revelations, the documents indicate that former US president Bill Clinton consorted with "young girls" during
at least one visit to Epstein's private resort in the Virgin Islands, where the billionaire was said to host regular "sex orgies."
"When you were present with Jeffery Epstein and Bill Clinton on the island, who else was there?" one witness – presumably
Giuffre – was asked during an interview, to which she replied that Epstein, Maxwell, an unidentified woman named "Emmy" and
"2 young girls" had been on the island with the former POTUS. The witness did not elaborate on Clinton's interactions with
the girls, however.
The same witness also told her attorney in 2011 that she had overheard Epstein saying that Clinton owed him "favors," but
noted she couldn't tell whether he was joking.
"He would laugh it off. You know, I remember asking Jeffrey 'What's Bill Clinton doing here?' and he laughed it off and said
'well he owes me a favor,'" she said. "He never told me what favors they were. I never knew. I didn't know if he was serious."
He told me a long time ago that everyone owes him favors. They're all in each other's pockets.
One of America's top law enforcement agencies was also apparently aware that underage girls were still being abused at Epstein's
properties as far back as 2011 – years after he was sentenced for similar crimes in his first criminal case. During her defamation
suit, Giuffre said she had provided the FBI a now widely circulated photo of herself and the UK's Prince Andrew – where he is pictured
smiling with an arm around her bare waist.
In 2014, moreover, Giuffre contacted the FBI to request evidence they had previously seized from Epstein's residences to aid her
civil case, suggesting the bureau had for long been informed of her allegations regarding Epstein and his continued involvement with
minor girls.

an interview that Trump "never" stayed overnight while visiting Epstein's Palm Beach estate, and that he did not receive any
"massages" there, as "he's got his own spa." An alleged victim also maintained that while Trump and Epstein were
"good friends," Trump made no attempts to "flirt" with her.

"good friends," Trump made no attempts to "flirt" with her.
Despite repeatedly insisting he had no ties to Epstein's sex-trafficking ring, legal scholar and former Harvard Law School professor
Alan Dershowitz is directly accused in the documents of having "sexual relations" with an underage girl. He is also said to
have witnessed "the sexual abuse of many other minors by Epstein and several of Epstein's co-conspirators," and would later
help to negotiate an undisclosed immunity deal for himself during Epstein's first criminal case.
More than 1,000 pages of documents from Giuffre's civil defamation case had previously been released in August 2019, indicating
that a long list of wealthy and powerful figures regularly spent time with Epstein at his lavish properties. One day after that trove
was unsealed, Epstein was found hanging in his Manhattan prison cell, dead from an apparent suicide after being charged with sex
trafficking and imprisoned some weeks previously.
Maxwell was arrested and charged with procuring minors for sexual abuse earlier this month, after keeping a low profile in the
period following Epstein's death. She has pleaded not guilty to six criminal counts and remains in custody without bail, after prosecutors
had labeled her an "extreme" flight risk.
"... Epstein was a Mosad Operation run by the Mega Group. ..."
"... These allegations are shocking, bombshell, ghastly, and just about any other adjective that could possibly describe a once-in-a-lifetime event of such wide-reaching and horrific proportions. Yet the mainstream media is completely silent at this time. This doesn't make any sense. Is this because the owners of the mainstream media are also complicit in a giant pedophilia conspiracy? I am struggling to come to terms with the deafening silence of the mainstream media. But, it's the only explanation that makes sense going forward. ..."
"... Let me guess how many inside the MSM made trips to Pedo Island? Yes, that would explain their silence as you suggest. ..."
"... The CIA runs American Media, ever since the ban on propaganda was lifted in 2012. ..."
Dozens of exhibits related to Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein were
unsealed Thursday evening , providing insight into allegations against the financier and
his purported 'madam,' as well as other high-profile individuals, including Bill Clinton, Alan
Dershowitz and several other people whose names one can only guess (and the internet has).
The documents, related to a 2015 civil defamation lawsuit against Maxwell by Epstein accuser
Virginia Giuffre, were ordered to be released on July 23 by US District Judge Loretta Preska -
which also included flight logs from Epstein's private jets , as well as police reports from
the multiple locations where Epstein maintained residences.
Alan Dershowitz is mentioned several times (and has gone to
great lengths to defend himself - suggesting on multiple occasions that this very document
release would in exonerate him).

Just imagine the amount on influence this pedovore - blackmail ring has had on the lives
of each of us individually. It is hard to phantom if you add up everything. The selling of
military secrets, the selling of IP, the setting of policies including wars and all that has
been the result of those, the misappropriation of public funds and the following
self-enrichment of them, the abuse of corrupt parts of the intelligence agencies to crush
dissent and achieve their goals, the shaping of public opinion with twisted logic of what is
supposed to be the right by corrupting and controlling MSM and pop-culture, the suffering of
victims of the criminal networks used to procure their "merchandise", etc
The extent of this whole horrific saga has shaped global human life for at least 2 decades
and most likely more. There is hardly a way to grasp the scope of what these power hungry
self serving bunch of perverted degenerates have made each global citizen undergo. I agree
there is no way we will ever get to know more than perhaps 20% of the story

The Compromising Epstein Association with Supreme Court Justice Roberts Is Gaining
Momentum and Explains Many of Roberts Mystery Rulings
Submitted by Dave Hodges on Tuesday, July 28, 2020
The Forbes investigation also found that "Kennedy and Scalia wrote the bulk of the
conservative dissent, and that dissent was not originally written as a majority opinion. It's
that the conservative Justices held Roberts' opinion in such contempt that they did not want
to dignify it with a response "
Forbes also mentioned the prominent role that Justice Scalia played in attempting to reign
in Roberts on this obvious miscarriage of justice. And what happened to Scalia? He was lured
to Texas and was subsequently murdered, or should I say Scalia's body found on a Texas farm
known for its child-sex trafficking activities. What's not known was if Scalia was murdered
elsewhere and then And let's not forget that Scalia was found with a pillow case over his
face and then this devout Catholic was cremated with no autopsy performed in violation of
Texas law. Subsequently, the Obama administration never ordered an investigation into the
very suspicious death of a senior level official in the government. This behavior was
inexcusable and wreaks of coverup.
With the arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein is back in the news.[1],[2]
Allegations that for decades, Maxwell obtained underage girls for Epstein and his
high-profile guests to exploit -- for purposes including blackmail -- are widely known. Is
blackmail why it took 24 years from the time the FBI knew of the allegations until the
arrest? [9] But the problem runs much deeper.
It's a touchy subject. Adults using children and infants for sexual gratification is a
repugnant topic. Let's not gloss over it: pedophiles are predators. No just society can
excuse the predatory behavior of the sexual deviants who term themselves "child lovers" in a
vain hope that society will overlook their cruel -- and sometimes deadly -- abuses. We will
not.
The scope of the problem is uncertain, but according to the National Center for Missing
and Exploited Children, some 800,000 children are reported missing each year in the United
States -- about 2,000 daily.[3],[4] Estimates vary domestically and internationally, and few
reliable statistics are available.[5] We do know that under the Trump administration, law
enforcement task forces have increased prosecutions at the state and federal level.[6] The
Children's Bureau estimates that the United States had over 678,000 cases of child abuse -- 9
per 1,000 -- in 2018.[7]
Many pedophiles even select careers giving access an endless stream of young victims.
These include occupations most would never suspect -- clergy, coaches, counselors, teachers,
scout leaders -- those we have trusted with our kids' safety.
But what happens to these babies and kids? Where are they now? What happens when they are
"used up"–too physically damaged and psychologically traumatized to satisfy adult
perverts?
Does there really exist a black market for child sex slaves? Is there any truth to the
allegations that sometimes Child Protective Services, foster care, and Amber Alerts are
accessories to these crimes?
Yet a shocking 2005 study showed that 79% of abusers were children's own parents, followed
by the parent's unmarried partners. A whopping 40% of child victims (counting all forms of
abuse) were abused by their mothers alone, and 17% by both parents. The study found that
substance abuse accompanies 70% of child maltreatment cases.[8] Should child abuse prevention
efforts focus on solving substance abuse? What about broader social trends that cause
dissolution of families?
Parents shouldn't be complacent. Turning a blind eye or downplaying the problem will not
save our children. We all need to become more vigilant.
What is child *********** but depictions of abuse? Both those who create, and those who
consume, digital depictions of child sex abuse should be severely punished. Demand for the
"genre" has surged with the advent of broadband internet.
Sweeping the problem under the rug hasn't worked. We need accurate statistics, education,
and public awareness. The solution isn't to normalize perversion, but to prosecute the
deviants -- both producers and consumers.
We don't need new laws either. There are plenty of statutes which -- if robustly enforced
-- could quickly end the menace of child sex abuse. We need adequate funding for law
enforcement to investigate and prosecute the crimes, a commitment to equal justice,
transparency, and harsh sentencing for those found guilty of violating the laws of God and
mankind.
Not possible to flush the corruption from a 100% corrupt society.
Inevitable end is revolution for a 100% corrupt society (as in the political class) ...
for ordinary people it is just going to get a whole lot worse.

Trump was never on the plane or on the island.
If she thought he was "flirting" with her, I'm not surprised, she was young and obviously
had a hard life, and Donald Trump was very charismatic and was a big star back in the
day.
They've been trying to pin this **** on Trump for years, and all they have is he attended
a party at Epstein's once, and banned Epstein from his club for hitting on the girls. That
doesn't sound like "good friends" to me.
Everything that went on in Epstein's NY house was video taped. If you think Trump did
anything and they are suppressing the video, you are out of your mind. If they'd frame Trump
for colluding with Russians, they'd use the tape to get rid of him.
Ask yourself, how did Donald Trump even come up in this interview? Epstein knew thousands
and thousands of people. The answer is the very same people who eventually FRAMED him in an
attempted coup, the FBI, were fishing for dirt and brought his name up with the victim.

"Trump could've saved umpteen hundred young girls from their horrible fates if he did so"
they'll say.
You have to think like the opposition. Again, my point is that he is not "cleared" as was
stated because he will have to deal with this canard... i can almost guarantee it.
Personally, i do not believe for a minute he'd get himself involved in any kind of thing
like Epstein/Maxwell/Mossad was running. Maybe egotistical, but smarter than falling into a

Here's his speech on secret societies. Interesting how when you put in a search for "JFK
speech secret societies" on YouTube that they bury it far down the results, because they
don't want people to hear it.
There is little doubt this was one of the great motivations for JFK's killing, but there
are others that are equally as plausible. Including the 'shatter them to a million pieces'
line. JFK took on THE most powerful and paid the unltimate price.

JFK was not trying to dismantle the Fed. The 2 EOs he issued regarding silver certificates

It may turn out that Trump is the most decent US president of last 30 years. Who
Nah - Trump should explain why his name was on Epstein's plane manifest. Trump is friends
with Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwel and attended Epstein's kid-rape island 23 times,
sometimes with Bill Clinton. Lawsuit Charged Donald Trump with Raping a 13-Year-Old Girl in
CA.
Trump and Epstein accused of raping 13-year-old girl in complaint filed with United States
District Court for the Southern District http://stateofthenation2012.com/?p=71156
Trump's excuse, he didn't know that the girl(s) were underage & he claims that his
encounter with the girls, in 2 occasions with his body Epstein in Lolita Island (1993), was a
CIA/Dyncorp operation with 12 low-light cameras.
Trump also claims the Epstain put the girls in the room. This is the kind of dirt that
Eptain & Ghislaine Maxwell have on Trump. Is these gossip, fabrication, expostulation or
it should be investigated (:
DA Alexander Acosta was the lawyer for Jeffery Epstein for child rapist charges where
Trump was on witness list (FL court records). Case dropped in deal. DA Alexander Acosta gave
Epstien a sweat heart deal to avoid Trump having to take the stand and face charges.
Anyone with Google can look up Trump involvement with Jeffrey Epstein and his court cases
and nomination of Alexander Acosta as Labor Secretary

These allegations are shocking, bombshell, ghastly, and just about any other adjective
that could possibly describe a once-in-a-lifetime event of such wide-reaching and horrific

Is this because the owners of the mainstream media are also complicit in a giant pedophilia
conspiracy? I am struggling to come to terms with the deafening silence of the mainstream
media. But, it's the only explanation that makes sense going forward.

swept under the rug. It has to happen now. All these people will be at home in August. It
makes sense to do a nation wide sweep and indict them at home. The indictments are spread far

I must have made 200 posts on Epstein and Maxwell. I bet in 30 of these posts I mentioned
the fact that Virginia Roberts gave the original photo of her and Prince Andrew to FBI agents
... years ago.
Not only did she give these agents the photo, she gave them details of what she actually
did for Epstein and Maxwell.
This, to me, has always been a huge detail.
Basically: The FBI - and by extension DOJ - knew everything at least nine years ago
(probably 20 years ago). This is not just a case involving seedy behavior of hundreds of VIP
"johns," It's also a case where numerous agencies of our own government covered up these
crimes and did nothing to stop this operation for who knows how many years or decades.
This scandal is so much larger than "Watergate" ... and the press won't even pursue these
angles, which tells us that they must be complicit in concealing the full truth.

"... In the testimony that has been made public, Maxwell acknowledged hiring Giuffre as a 17-year-old massage therapist for Epstein at his Palm Beach estate but denied knowledge of any sexual abuse. ..."
(Bloomberg) -- A federal judge is considering making public a trove of previously sealed
records from a 2015 lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell, who is now facing charges that she
trafficked girls as young as 14 for her former boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein.
U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska in New York scheduled a Thursday conference to discuss
the possible unsealing of five different sets of documents relating to a defamation lawsuit
against Maxwell by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, whom Maxwell had said was lying.
The possible release is coming as Maxwell's lawyer are trying to tamp down statements about
her criminal case, in which she has pleaded not guilty. On Tuesday, they asked the judge in
that case, U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan, to issue a gag order on prosecutors, FBI agents
and lawyers for Maxwell and Epstein's alleged victims.
The documents Preska is considering unsealing appear to be partly related to deposition
testimony Maxwell, 58, gave in the case in April and July 2016. One of her lawyers said in a
recent court filing that one of the documents included "intrusive questioning" about Maxwell's
sex life that she had answered based on her expectation of confidentiality.
A federal appeals court in New York unsealed 40 of the 613 pages of Maxwell's testimony last
August. Her sworn denials of knowledge about Epstein's abuse of underage girls are the basis
for two perjury counts that accompanied the sex-trafficking charges in the indictment unsealed
against her on July 2 by Manhattan federal prosecutors.
The record of Giuffre's lawsuit was sealed in 2017 after the parties reached a confidential
settlement. The partial unsealing last year followed Epstein's arrest on sex-trafficking
charges. He was found dead of an apparent suicide in his Manhattan jail cell on Aug. 10, a day
after parts of Maxwell's testimony first became public.
Maxwell's lawyer Laura Menninger didn't immediately return voicemail and email messages
seeking comment about the conference.
Menninger in June argued against further unsealing, saying one document pertained to
Giuffre's efforts "to compel Ms. Maxwell to answer intrusive questions about her sex life"
during her deposition. Menninger said Maxwell answered the questions because she had "a strong
expectation of continued confidentiality."
The lawyer also cited the then ongoing criminal investigation of Maxwell, saying any
disclosures from the Giuffre lawsuit could "inappropriately influence potential witnesses or
alleged victims."
Sigrid McCawley, a lawyer for Giuffre, couldn't be immediately reached for comment about
Preska's planned conference.
In the testimony that has been made public, Maxwell acknowledged hiring Giuffre as a
17-year-old massage therapist for Epstein at his Palm Beach estate but denied knowledge of any
sexual abuse.
"You can be a professional masseuse at 17 in Florida, so as far as I am aware, a
professional masseuse showed up for a massage," Maxwell said. "There is nothing inappropriate
or incorrect about that."
Lex Wexler name surfaces in way too many places connected to Epstein VIP brothel, Why he is
not arrested like Maxwell?
Notable quotes:
"... Hazell, now known as Lady Iveagh, worked for Epstein 'Madam' Ghislaine Maxwell according to accuser Maria Farmer , who says she also interacted with Iveagh at the Ohio estate of Victoria's Secret boss Leslie Wexner. Farmer said that Hazell "liked having nice drinks, piles of cash and nice outfits." She was listed in Jeffrey Epstein's famous Black Book as "Clare Hazell-Iveagh." ..."
"... Much like Epstein pal Prince Andrew, Hazell has not been charged with any of the crimes she's been accused of, however we somehow doubt she'll be speaking with US prosecutors anytime soon. ..."
Clare Hazell - an interior designer who became the Countess of Iveagh after her 2001
marriage to the 4th Earl of Guinnes (of the brewing dynasty) - took 32 flights on Epstein's
infamous airplane between 1998 and 2000, which included "trips to his homes in New York,
Florida, the Caribbean and New Mexico," according to the
Daily Mail . Epstein accompanied Hazell on all but one of the trips aboard the plane, per
flight logs.
Ms Hazell was studying at Ohio State University in the 1990s and reportedly had a
modelling agency and an apartment in Columbus, Ohio.
The friend described her as being at Epstein's 'beck and call', saying how mutual plans
would be cancelled immediately if she was needed by Epstein and Maxwell. -

a farm, growing root vegetables and cereals on the 22,000 acre property.

Everything you need to know about Scott Borgerson, the tech CEO tied to Jeffrey Epstein's
alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell
Scott Borgerson, the CEO of a maritime analytics company, is back in the news for his
ties to Jeffrey Epstein's inner circle.
The Daily Mail reported last summer that Borgerson was dating and housing Ghislaine
Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend and alleged madam. Authorities arrested
Maxwell on July 2 , and she remains
behind bars without bail until she stands trial in 2021 to face allegations she
recruited underaged girls for Epstein.
The relationship between Borgerson and Maxwell is still not clear, but the CEO's name
has resurfaced after prosecutors recently alleged in court that
Maxwell is secretly married . Maxwell has declined to provide the name of her spouse,
but
news outlets have
suggested it could be Borgerson...
...Scott Borgerson, 44, is the CEO of CargoMetrics, a data-analytics company for
maritime trade and shipping. He cofounded the Boston-based company in 2010, and it was most
recently valued at $100 million in 2016.
Borgerson's company has raised nearly $23 million from investors, which include former
Google CEO Eric Schmidt. Schmidt led a $10 million funding round for CargoMetrics in August
2017, according to PitchBook.
Borgerson owns an oceanfront property, reportedly worth $3 million, in
Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts. Manchester-by-the-Sea is a small town north of Boston
with a population of just over 5,000 people.
The Daily Mail reported in August 2019 that Borgerson was dating and housing Ghislaine
Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's alleged madam who had largely remained out of the public eye.
Maxwell was close to Epstein, and reportedly recruited underage girls for Epstein and
participated in their abuse.
The Daily Mail also reported Maxwell had become a "homebody" who was "hiding out" at
Borgerson's home, and that the pair have been dating for around five years. However,
Borgerson denied the report to Business Insider at the time, and said Maxwell was a "former
friend."...
Anyone involved with Ghislaine Maxwell must automatically be suspected of being involved
in underage prostitution, pedophilia, money laundering, and sex slavery.
Many have also totally missed – or are afraid to notice – the big picture:
Israeli intelligence agencies and especially Mossad seem to be running pedophile rings that
blackmail Western political, business and scientific leaders.

Are you going to point the finger at the J3wish nature of the operation?
What about Maxwell's parties hosted at your hotel Donald and your ex-wife's involvement
of the recruitment of White women into the (((International))) blackmail operation?
What about Les Wexner?
While we're at it, let's talk of your friendship with your mentor, Roy Cohen.
Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite charged with aiding the late Jeffrey Epstein in the
sex trafficking of minors, employed former British military personnel as security at the New
Hampshire estate where she was arrested earlier this month, federal prosecutors said in a court
filing Monday.
The office of the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York said Maxwell, in
addition to the security detail, wrapped her cell phone in aluminum foil to avoid detection.
FBI agents had to break down the door of the facility and found her hiding inside a room in its
interior, prosecutors said,
according to The Washington Post.
The FBI added that Maxwell sent the security personnel out to make "purchases for the
property" with a credit card, and that the guards worked in rotating shifts.
The U.S. attorney's office has argued Maxwell is a flight risk, citing her citizenship in
three countries, including her birthplace of France, which does not extradite citizens.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Alison Moe cited these precautions as further evidence Maxwell, who
has denied the charges, is a flight risk. "As these facts make plain, there should be no
question that the defendant is skilled at living in hiding," Moe wrote, according to the
Post.
Since Maxwell's indictment, Moe wrote, investigators "have been in touch with additional
individuals who have expressed a willingness to provide information regarding the defendant,"
who have given the U.S. attorney's office further information that "has the potential to make
the Government's case even stronger," according to the newspaper.
Federal prosecutors have charged Maxwell on six counts, including sex trafficking, perjury
and enticement of minors. She is due to appear in court Tuesday.
Maxwell's lawyers have claimed she was estranged from Epstein at the time of his death and
that her precautions were against the media rather than law enforcement.
Ghislaine Maxwell - who's facing six charges in New York over her alleged role in Jeffrey
Epstein's pedophile sex-trafficking ring, is also under investigation in the US Virgin Islands
.
The revelation comes in a July 10 filing to intervene in a lawsuit Maxwell filed against
Epstein's estate seeking reimbursement for legal fees, and claiming that Epstein had repeatedly
promised to support her financially, according to
The Sun .
The Island's Justice Department is "investigating Maxwell's participation in Epstein's
criminal sex trafficking and sexual abuse conduct," read the court papers.
Epstein infamously owned Little St. James island, dubbed 'pedo island' over accusations that
he would fly underage girls there to fulfill his sexual desires and those of his associates.
Famous guests reportedly include Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Stephen Hawking, Les Wexner and
others.
One accuser, Chaunte Davies, says she was raped by Epstein over the course of several years
before finally parting ways with him in 2005.
Now 40, Chaunte says the ex-Wall Street banker performed a sex act on himself during their
first massage session - and that she was "manipulated" into staying in their circle by Maxwell
. "Within weeks she was jetting round the world on his private jet and on to his island of
Little Saint James," according to the report.
"The government's need to intervene is further fueled by Maxwell's inappropriate use of the
Virgin Islands courts to seek payment and reimbursement from the Epstein criminal enterprise,
while she circumvents the service of process of government subpoenas related to her involvement
in that criminal enterprise ," reads the filing.

Receive a daily recap featuring a curated list of must-read stories.
Island officials have also subpoenaed Maxwell to try and compel her to appear before a local
court - a bid which may prove difficult considering her current status as an inmate awaiting
trial at a New York detention center following her July 2 arrest in New Hampshire. Maxwell has
evaded Virgin Islands officials since March.
Maxwell is set to appear for a virtual bail and arraignment hearing on Tuesday. Her legal
team has requested that she be freed on $5 million bail, arguing that she's not a flight risk
and may catch coronavirus in jail. Prosecutors for the US Justice Department strongly
disagreed, pointing to Maxwell's opaque finances and global contacts that pose a significant
flight risk.
"She has demonstrated her ability to evade detection, and the victims of the defendant's
crimes seek her detention," said DOJ prosecutors in their filing. "Because there is no set of
conditions short of incarceration that can reasonably assure the defendant's appearance, the
government urges the Court to detain her ."
According to the filing, one of Maxwell's security guards told agents that that the British
socialite's brother had hired former members of the British military to guard her 24-7. As
Bloomberg reports, Maxwell gave one of the guards a credit card in the name of the same LLC
which bought her luxury New Hampshire bugout last year. According to the guard, Maxwell hadn't
left the property in the time he'd been working there, and had been ordered to buy things for
the estate.
Federal prosecutors detailed the lengths Maxwell went to in order to evade US law
enforcement in order to argue that she's a flight risk who has access to "extraordinary
financial resources" and would flee the country if allowed free on bail. A federal judge will
decide on Tuesday whether to grant Maxwell's request to post $5 million bond so she can live
under house arrest until her trial.
"She has demonstrated her ability to evade detection, and the victims of the defendant's
crimes seek her detention," said DOJ prosecutors in their filing. "Because there is no set of
conditions short of incarceration that can reasonably assure the defendant's appearance, the
government urges the Court to detain her."
Maxwell wouldn't be extradited if she fled to France where she has citizenship, argued the
prosecution, as the country does not extradite its own citizens to the US for prosecution,
according to the report.
The government also argued Maxwell has been hiding from authorities, living in a secluded
156-acre estate in Bradford, New Hampshire, since late last year.
Maxwell is accused of luring girls as young as 14 for sexual encounters with Epstein and
engaging in some of the abus e. Prosecutors argued she could face as long as 35 years in
prison if convicted. Epstein died in a Manhattan lockup last August of an apparent suicide
while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges.
While Maxwell's lawyers said in a separate court filing that she has six people willing to
co-sign her bond, prosecutors argued she hasn't identified these people, whether any are even
in the U.S. or have the sufficient finances to pay if she does flee. -

Maxwell's defense team also cited her long ties to the US, where she has lived for decades.
They're also arguing that Maxwell was covered by Epstein's controversial 2007
non-prosecution agreement which allowed the convicted pedophile to avoid federal sex
trafficking charges.
Federal prosecutors called that "absurd," arguing that the current case involved evidence
from two new accusers who weren't involved in the prior prosecution - and that their case could
become "even stronger" as additional witnesses have come forward to offer evidence against
Maxwell.

Jeffrey Epstein, sought to evade FBI detection by using former British military personnel as
personal security and wrapping her cellphone in tin foil in an apparent anti-tracing attempt,
federal prosecutors alleged Monday.
When the FBI moved on Maxwell at her estate in New Hampshire about two weeks ago, agents had
to break down the door and found Maxwell hiding in a room in the interior of the home,
according to a new court filing from the government opposing her release on bail.
The details of her arrest were disclosed as Maxwell, 58, is expected to face a Manhattan
judge for the first time on Tuesday for a ruling on the
$5 million bail bond package -- with home confinement and GPS monitoring -- that her
lawyers proposed last week.
The U.S. attorney's office for the Southern District of New York has maintained that
Maxwell, who has citizenship in three countries including the United States, is a flight risk.
She was tracked down at the secluded estate in Bradford, N.H., and arrested July 2.
She was born in France, which does not extradite its own citizens, raising fears among
prosecutors that she could leave the country if released and never return to face charges.
Authorities have accused her of recruiting underage girls for Epstein to abuse and occasionally
participating in criminal sex acts alongside him, saying she "normalized" the idea of having
sex with Epstein, her longtime companion, causing lasting psychological and emotional damage to
the victims.
Maxwell has denied the allegations, and her attorneys recently said she was estranged from
Epstein for a decade before his suicide in August while awaiting trial on sex trafficking
charges. She faces up to 35 years in prison.
Maxwell, the wealthy daughter of a deceased British media mogul, was so intent on not being
located that she never left her house, sending the security staff out "to make purchases for
the property" using a credit card they were provided, a guard there allegedly told the FBI,
according to Monday's court filing. The guards were hired by Maxwell's brother and worked in
"rotations," prosecutors wrote.
"As these facts make plain, there should be no question that the defendant is skilled at
living in hiding," Assistant U.S. Attorney Alison Moe wrote.
The U.S. attorney's office noted in its filing that since Maxwell's indictment,
investigators "have been in touch with additional individuals who have expressed a willingness
to provide information regarding the defendant." The evidence provided by those individuals,
who were not identified in the filing, "has the potential to make the Government's case even
stronger," it says.
Maxwell's bail proposal involves posting "a multi-million dollar property" in the United
Kingdom as collateral -- which prosecutors have deemed essentially useless because the U.S.
government could not seize it -- and she has refused to reveal the true extent of her assets to
investigators, the filing says.
Maxwell's attorneys argued last week that she was hiding from the media, not the FBI, before
her arrest and that she should not be subjected to the risk of contracting the novel
coronavirus at the Brooklyn federal jail where she has been held since her transfer from New
Hampshire.

Whether one believes an anonymous ex-jewel thief's exclusive interview with
The
Sun
is up to the reader. That said, Epstein accuser Maria Farmer claimed there was a '
secret
media room
' in the dead pedophile's New York mansion which was full of recording equipment.
What's more, former Israeli spy Ari Ben-Menashe - alleged "handler" of Ghislaine's father, Robert
Maxwell, told the authors of
Epstein:
Dead Men Tell No Tales
, that the Epstein was operating a "complex intelligence operation" at
the behest of Mossad, and 'filmed US politicians and power players having sex with underage girls
to blackmail them.'
Jumping into the salacious claims
by the jewel thief, who goes by the name William Steel,
the story begins in the mid-1990s when Steel claims he met Epstein in the "upstairs room at a very
high-end diamond dealer, the kind of place where only a few people are allowed in at a time."
"I was there doing what I do. I was meeting my fence.
"
I
saw Jeff with a young girl who looked only about 13 or 14 and he had his hand in the back of her
shorts.
"That's what first got my attention.
"She was so young and he was much older. That's when I knew that he was dirty.
"
I
had about 200,000 dollars worth of jewellery that I was getting rid of and later I struck up a
conversation with him
.
"He later said the girl he was with was his niece but I called bulls**t on that, telling him I
saw what he was doing with her. -
The
Sun
At some point later, Steel says he met Ghislaine Maxwell - who he says he had
sex
with on multiple occasions
- and wanted to see how she could use him to help Epstein.
Steel says he was trying to do the same thing:
"I wouldn't say it was a relationship -- it was all about what she could use me for to help them. Me
being a cocky young guy from New York City, seeing their arrogance and their wealth -- I just looked
at it as an opportunity to milk them for what I could.
I used to brag about what I was capable of to them."
Steele added that "
When
I wanted to impress or scare somebody, I'd get my briefcase out and it would have police scanners
in it, gloves, lock picks, guns with silencers,
" adding "I even owned an ultra-thermic
torch which would burn a hole into anything in seconds."
"
That
impressed Ghislaine and Jeff.
"
SEX, LIES AND VIDEOTAPE:
Steel claims that he saw a parade of underage girls 'coming and going' from Epstein's Palm Beach
oceanfront mansion, but that he never participated in pedophilic sex acts.
"I only ever had sex with Maxwell and threesomes with her and other adult females," he said. "I
suspected what they were doing with the under-age girls, I knew their routine, so when they tried
to get me involved, I said, 'No, I'm not into that -- you're not getting me on video doing any of
that'."
Steel also says Ghislaine is a
"nymphomaniac"
who
would try "everything and anything in bed."
...he was shown footage involving
two
high-profile US politicians having sex with minors and two high society figures having a
threesome with an under-age girl.
Steel -- who is not being paid for this interview -- also branded
Maxwell
,
58, who was arrested last week in connection with trafficking young girls, a wild "nymphomaniac"
who would try "everything and anything in bed".
He says: "
I
was forced to watch their videos because they were trying to impress me.
"They wanted to convince me of their power and who they held in their grip.
"
They
boasted about 'owning' powerful people.
"
Ghislaine
was
more into showing me those than Jeff.
"When you're in a situation like that, you have to pretend to be non- judgmental. But it was
shocking. -
The
Sun
"She said to me that she often thought she needed to do something about Epstein, telling me, 'He is
going to be the death of me'" claimed Steel. " So while she protected him and helped him, she was
simultaneously plotting against him and trying to distance herself. "
"She knew they could drag each other down," adding "I think she saw herself as the more respectable
of the two.
She
wanted me to do something about Jeff.
"
Ghislaine allegedly told Steel she had a "Polanski plan," named after disgraced pedophile and film
director Roman Polanski, who fled the US after he was charged with the rape of a 13-year-old girl.
"She told me about her Polanski plan where she would flee to France because they couldn't extradite
her," he said, adding "I was surprised to hear she'd been picked up in New Hampshire."
"I want the authorities to know about her plan before her bail hearing."
Steel claims he absconded with evidence - "discs and things they were trying to get rid of," and
says he "sent them to the authorities, but I don't know if they did anything with them."
Why he wouldn't make copies is anyone's guess.
Steel said
the
pair also asked him to help them find girls -- but he refused.
He adds: "Ghislaine was always talking down to people.
"She tried to pull that on me but I told her straight, '
Don't
speak to me like you speak to your f***ing staff. I'm doing favours for you guys. You're not
talking down to me. I don't give a f how much money you have
'.
"They knew I had connections in various places and
they
offered me money to bring in girls but I never took them up on any of that.
"They told me, 'Whatever the girls want, I can help them with their modelling career if they
want that or pay for their education, and it's just massages'.
"And I said, 'Yeah, I'm pretty sure what your massages turn into'.
"And he would just smirk at me and say that I could have what I wanted.
"I said I didn't want that, it's not fair to take advantage of these young girls. It's not
right.
"
He
wanted me to help him with a plan he had to kidnap or pay 100 young girls and take them to an
island where he would have sex with them, orgies, use them for blackmail and have babies with
them.
"I just told him to shut up. I didn't even realise he was serious until years later.
"For him, at that time, his focus was getting girls that were not from the United States.
"
He
wanted girls from abroad because he felt they wouldn't know how the criminal justice system in
the US works and would be less likely to report him.
"He said he would help look after their families but I said, 'I'm not going to help you ruin a
teenage girl's life'. -

And that, is the rest of the ex-jewel thief's sordid tale.
The Epstein Pedoscandal Mossad
Timeline shows in detail how Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were working for the
Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad.
The timeline generated many comments at Unz.com but surprisingly most of them dealt whether
Epstein was a pedophile or not. This despite the overwhelming evidence of pedophilia.
Many have also totally missed – or are afraid to notice – the big picture:
Israeli intelligence agencies and especially Mossad seem to be running pedophile rings that
blackmail Western political, business and scientific leaders.
Furthermore, it seems that Ghislaine Maxwell was and still is the master mind behind many of
these pedophile rings.
One of the reasons Epstein and Ghislaine were able to continue sex trafficking with impunity
for so long was the appearance that Epstein was a victim of jealous people and overzealous
police. Many people thought that Epstein had only had sex with a 17-year old girl who had lied
about her age.
This excuse worked well because in Florida the age of consent is 18 while in most other
American states it is 16.
Epstein was able to play the martyr by not only claiming that unscrupulous girls had lied
their age but also by implying that the age of consent is too high anyway in Florida.
This was also one reason why in New Mexico where Epstein had his Zorro Ranch the officials
refused to register him as a sex offender. In New Mexico the age of consent was 16 until in
2018 it was raised to 18.
Furthermore, unlike in many other states, in New Mexico the courts recognize a mistake of
age defense.
New Mexico courts recognize a mistake of
age defense . The mistake of age defense is basically "I thought she was 17." However,
this is no guarantee that this defense will work in court. Moreover, the mistake of age is
the creation of judges in the absence of a direct statute addressing the defense. State
lawmakers may pass a law overriding the courts on this issue at any time. ( LegalMatch
)
In reality the Epstein-Ghislaine case is not whether it is wrong for an adult to have sex
with a 17 year old. Instead it is about many other things such as prostitution, grooming,
pedophilia and the exploitation of children.
This all is connected to global politics involving sex trafficking, drug and arms trade,
money laundering, Ponzi schemes, spy networks and blackmailing for Mossad.
Epstein's victims were caught in a web of international spy network that used them as pawns
for blackmail operations. The younger the girls were, the more leverage Israel would have over
politicians, billionaires and scientists. Thus Epstein and Ghislaine tried to also recruit
girls who were well under the age of 16.
What is more, they personally enjoyed having sex with these very young girls. Both Epstein
and Ghislaine seem to have been pedophiles who were attracted to prepubescent girls and boys,
i.e. small children.
Note that in order to be a pedophile it is enough to have merely occasional sexual
attraction to prepubescent, i.e. sexually immature children who have not yet developed
secondary
sex characteristics, such as breasts.
Julie Brown from Miami Herald notes that Courtney Wild was only 14 when she was
recruited into Epstein's sex ring.
Wild still had braces on her teeth when she was introduced to him in 2002 at the age of
14.
She was fair, petite and slender, blonde and blue-eyed. (emphasis added. Miami Herald
)
Link to Miami Herald
Julie Brown also notes that Epstein preferred girls who were not only white [and non-Jewish]
but also appeared prepubescent.
Wild, who later helped recruit other girls, said Epstein preferred girls who were
white, appeared prepubescent and those who were easy to manipulate into going further each
time. (Emphasis added. Miami Herald )
For Epstein and Ghislaine it was important that the girls at the very least looked like
small children. This is obviously why they preferred girls who were under 16.
Courtney Wild told the police that she brought Epstein over 70 girls and they were all under
16.
By the time I was 16, I had probably brought him 70 to 80 girls who were all 14 and 15
years old (Emphasis added. Miami Herald )
Some girls were even younger. According to the police many were 13 year old.
The girls -- mostly 13 to 16 -- were lured to his pink waterfront mansion by Wild and
other girls, who went to malls, house parties and other places where girls congregated, and
told recruits that they could earn $200 to $300 to give a man -- Epstein -- a massage,
according to an unredacted copy of the Palm Beach police investigation obtained by the
Herald. (Emphasis added. Miami Herald )
It is also important to note that even 13 was not the minimum age for Epstein and Ghislaine.
In fact, there was no limit to how young the girls could be. Both Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell
emphasized that the younger the better.
Eventually, she said Maxwell trained her to recruit new girls for Epstein.
"Jeffrey was very particular in the kind of girls he wanted. First off, the younger the
better ."
Epstein said that to her, Giuffre claimed, and " Maxwell said that too . During the
training and telling me how to do it, she said 'You always have to go for the
youngest-looking ones .'" (Emphasis added.
The Daily Beast )
Link to The Daily Beast
It seems the primary purpose was not even blackmail since especially Epstein was having sex
with these young girls all the time. On some days Epstein was having sex several times a
day.
Sex games were more important for Epstein than work. Obviously, he was extremely attracted
to these young girls.
In six months, I never saw him do a day's work," Ransome told The Telegraph. "I never
saw him work. He was literally sexually abusing us all day long . (Emphasis added.
Business Insider )
Link to Business Insider
Ghislaine also seemed to be obsessed with sex. Just like her father, Robert Maxwell she was
rumored to be interested in unconventional sex which includes also sex with young children.
As she [Ghislaine] posed for the pics, which ran in a publication meant to promote
Sotheby's vintage fashion collection, she allegedly let slip comments that hinted at a
twisted double life.
"She didn't talk about Epstein, but during the shoot she did tell a story about how she
just hosted a dinner party for a number of young girls, and she put dildos at each place
setting," the source said. "Ghislaine then described how during the dinner two guests, who
were a couple, began demonstrating how to do the perfect fellatio on a man for all at the
table. She was laughing about it."
"A friend of mine has a whole theory about her, that Epstein was like her father Robert
Maxwell, who himself is believed to have had some strange sexual practices." (
Page Six )
Link to PageSix
The Epstein Mossad-Timeline shows how Ghislaine was most probably trained by Mossad to use
sex to gather information. That training would not have been too difficult for her since she
was hypersexual. Many even considered her a nymphomaniac.
In fact, even many Israeli Jews – who usually have much fewer sexual taboos than
puritan English and Americans – were shocked by her raunchy sexuality.
Flirtatious indeed: I understand from a mutual friend that after school she travelled
to Israel and visited a kibbutz; she was immediately ostracised by the other girls for making
a rather-too-obvious beeline for the Adonis-like lifeguard at the kibbutz pool. Very quickly
she got her way, as she would with much in her life. ( Tatler . Emphasis
added.)
Even Ghislaine's friend were sometimes shocked by her open sexuality that so often
contrasted with her otherwise lady-like behavior and position in high society.
Ghislaine was, added Mason, 'fantastically entertaining' and 'saucy' – the paper
said that she talked openly about sex .
In fact, said another acquaintance who saw her often at parties, she was 'obsessed by
sex . She's Sphinx-like, mysterious. The last time I saw her, five, 10 years ago, I said what
are you up to? And she said "I'm selling this product – stainless-steel mini dumb-bells
– that you put up your fanny. For exercising your vaginal muscles, exercise your pelvic
floor, learn the Singapore Grip. I'm giving seminars in LA and they all turn up and I tell
them, this is how you keep your man."' ( Tatler . Emphasis
added.)
Epstein and Ghislaine were both hypersexual. All kind of sex interested them. Little girls
were just part of the menu. Or more specifically, the best – and most profitable –
part.
Epstein and Ghislaine were so attracted to young girls that nothing seemed to satisfy them.
Perhaps this is why Epstein and Ghislaine created the highly risky sexual pyramid scheme. The
girls were offered two alternatives: Either satisfy Epstein and Ghislaine sexually or get more
girls to satisfy them.
In this way Epstein and Ghislaine were able to recruit literally hundreds of young girls.
However, some of these girls went to the police and the sexual pyramid scheme collapsed.
When Epstein got out of jail in 2009 he had half-learned his lesson: American girls are too
risky.
Now Epstein and Ghislaine would only concentrate on East European girls with the help of
their Jewish-Ukrainian friend Peter Listerman.
One of the lesser-known shadowy figures linked to Jeffrey Epstein and his sex ring of
teenage girls and young women is Ukrainian-born Peter Listerman, who has worked as a
businessman and television presenter but is most known for his "match-making"
abilities.
What match-making really means is that Listerman procures women, often underage, for
the jet-set society to use for sexual purposes. His "clients" include Russian oligarchs and
American businessmen and seems to have also
included Jeffrey Epstein. ( Citizen
Truth )
Link to the Citizen Truth.org
Listerman has such a bad reputation that he is shunned even in Ukraine!
Tatiana Savchenko, who founded the first modeling school in Odessa, Ukraine
explained to the Daily Beast the lengths she had to go to keep Listerman from getting his
hands on young women and trafficking them for sex work.
She claimed that he would frequently approach her students and attempt to lure them
with promises of a luxurious lifestyle, and that "It took a lot of work to keep him from
tricking our teen models in his traps." ( Citizen
Truth )
Peter Listerman is the usual suspect. Link to Fishki.net Do you think I am
kidding? I am Peter Listerman! Link to Fishki.net
Both Epstein and Listerman were attracted to very young girls. Neither even tried to hide it
much. In fact, Epstein was quite open about his attraction to tweens.
Just three months ago, as federal prosecutors were closing in with new charges, Mr.
Epstein had a conversation with R. Couri Hay, a publicist, about continuing to improve his
reputation. Mr. Epstein asserted that what he was convicted of did not constitute pedophilia,
said Mr. Hay, who declined to represent him.
The girls he had sex with were "tweens and teens," Mr. Epstein told him. ( The New
York Times )
But what is a tween?
Preadolescent is generally defined as those ranging from age 10 to 13 years.
[4][6] While known
as preadolescent in psychology, the terms preteen, preteenager or tween are common in
everyday use. ( Wikipedia
)
Epstein was right, of course. What he was convicted of in 2007 did not constitute
pedophilia. However, that is precisely one reason why people are so outraged!
Epstein and Ghislaine did not see any problem of recruiting, grooming and having sex also
with tweens. And apparently neither did the Justice Department and the FBI led by
Robert Mueller !
But it gets even worse. As pointed out in the Epstein Pedoscandal Mossad Timeline ,
it seems that Epstein and Ghislaine were after even younger girls.
In 2003 Epstein financed Jean-Luc Brunell's(?) and Jeff Fuller's(J) new modelling agency
MC2 that seemed to have worked with Peter Listerman.
MC2 obviously refers to the famous Einstein equation E = MC2 , the energy-mass
equivalence. Equally obviously, E equals Epstein, the energy, whereas the girls equal MC2, the
mass energized by Epstein.
Despite all this – or for the very reason – Epstein invested in MC2 and became
particularly
close to its founders Brunel and Fuller.
The agency operates in New York, Miami and Tel Aviv. It's in practice half-Israeli.
Many call Israel the capital of human trafficking and organ
harvesting .
Link to
Ynet.com
MC2 concentrates on importing East European girls to Israel and America. The younger the
better.
Marina Lynchuk of MC2 Lolita Lvola from MC2 Linta Lapinda from MC2
Brunel seems to have given 12-year old triplets to Epstein as a birthday present.
'Jeffrey bragged after he met them that they were 12-year-olds and flown over from
France because they're really poor over there, and their parents needed the money or whatever
the case is and they were absolutely free to stay and flew out,' Giuffre said.
She said she saw the three girls with her own eyes and that Epstein had repeatedly
described to her how the girls had massaged him and performed oral sex on him. They were
flown back to France the next day.
Link to Daily Mail
It seems that even tweens were not young enough for Epstein.
According to court papers in 2005 Brunel called Epstein and left a message that "he is
sending him a 16-year-old Russian girl for purposes of sex". However, the written message says
something even worse.
The message, filed as an exhibit in the case, was written on an office message pad,
partly in code, and read: "He [Brunel] has a teacher for you to teach you how to speak
Russian. She is 2×8 years old not blonde. Lessons are free and you can have your 1st
today if you call." ( New
York Post )
Does it mean that two eight year olds are involved? Or does 2 x 8 mean to sex 8 year old?
(2=to, x=sex)
Why would the lessons be free and why is it relevant that the "teacher" is not a blond?
There is no denying that Epstein and Ghislaine sexualised even small children. This became
clear in 2005 when police raided Epstein's Palm Peach mansion.
In one photo that was hanging on the wall a small six or seven year old girl was bending
over in a tiny dress. Police blurred out the photo in the video taken during the raid.

The so called artwork seems to be full of pedophile symbols.
Link to Wikileaks.org
The quality of the photos taken at Ghislaine's home are so good that even more symbols have
been found in her artwork.
For some reason the mainstream media has not picked up on this pedophilia angle. No
mainstream media journalist has even tried to ask why would Ghislaine have such art and symbols
on her home wall.
This despite the fact that Ghislaine is most probably an Israeli superspy just like was her
father, Robert Maxwell. She probably has been trained to use sex – including pedophilia
– as a tool for blackmail and manipulation.
At the time in Israel females molesting little boys was not even considered rape.
Link to
Haaretz.com
Nor have mainstream journalists asked where was Ghislaine when Madeline McCann was
abducted.
That would not be an unreasonable question since one of the E-Fit images looks a lot like
Ghislaine.
Link to Enchanted Life Path.com
Furthermore, two of the E-Fit images (1A, 1B) look like the Podesta brothers. John Podesta was White House
Chief of Staff to Bill Clinton and the Chairman of the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential
campaign.
Ghislaine and Epstein were close to the Clintons and the Podesta brothers have been directly
linked also to Pizzagate.
Was Ghislaine helping to run also Pizzagate and other pedophile rings for Mossad?
At least she seems to be perfectly trained to do just that. First, her own hypersexuality,
family background and possible training by Mossad made it easy for her to master mind the
pedophilia ring she run with Epstein.
Second, Ghislaine and Epstein had all the apparel to help run also other pedophile rings:
Lolita express airplanes and helicopters, Zorro Ranch in New Mexico and luxury mansions in New
York, Palm Peach and Paris.
Even more importantly they had their own island in the Virgin Islands.
In the 90s Epstein bought Little St.
James island from the Virgin islands. It had a mansion which Epstein expanded.
Soon locals started to call it the Pedophile Island.
Little St. James island. Link to
Wall Street Journal article
The island seems to have tunnels with several underground entrances.
Ghislaine has a Helicopter Pilot License and often transported quests to the island.
On the weekends in the 1990s, Maxwell would have her Rollerblades FedExed to Epstein's
island in the Caribbean, and said she got her helicopter's license so she could transport
anyone she liked without pilots knowing who they were .
Maxwell also said the island had been completely wired for video; the friend thought
that she and Epstein were videotaping everyone on the island as an insurance policy, as
blackmail.
A source close to Maxwell says she spoke glibly and confidently about getting girls to
sexually service Epstein, saying this was simply what he wanted, and describing the way she'd
drive around to spas and trailer parks in Florida to recruit them. She would claim she had a
phone job for them, "and you'll make lots of money, meet everyone, and I'll change your
life."
Maxwell had one other thing to tell this woman: "When I asked what she thought of the
underage girls, she looked at me and said, 'they're nothing, these girls. They are trash .'"
(Emphasis added. Vanity
Fair )
Ghislaine was naturally using Epstein's helicopters. Some of them shared their FAA tail
number with a US contractor, Dyncorp . That would have helped Ghislaine and
Epstein to fly drugs and children.
FAA records and Epstein's pilot's flight manifest indicate that Epstein's Bell
helicopter used the same tail number of N474AW . This was the same tail number used until
2006 by State Department contractor Dyncorp for counter-insurgency operations in Latin
America.
The congruence of Epstein's Bell N474AW and Dincorp's Bronco N474AW is noteworthy. In
2002, the year Epstein's aircraft fleet stands accused of flying underage teen girls, some
between the ages of 12 and 15 , coincided with Dyncorp's trafficking in underage females
between the ages of 12 and 15 from Kosovo and Bosnia in the Balkans.
One Dyncorp whistleblower reported to The Washington Times's Insight magazine's Kelly
O'Meara in 2002 the following on one Dyncorp employee in Bosnia:
[he] owned a girl who couldn't have been more than 14 years old. It's a sick sight
anyway to see any grown man [having sex] with a child, but to see some 45-year-old man who
weights 400 pounds with a little girl, it just makes you sick."
Tail number N474AW has been shared between Epstein's Bell helicopter like the one in
this photo. (Emphasis added.

DynCorp's pedophilia ring became internationally infamous with the release of the movie
Whistleblower.

Helicopters can always be seen. However, Ghislaine also has a license to operate
submarines!
In 2012 – three years after Epstein got out of jail – Maxwell founded The
TerraMar Project ,
[51] a nonprofit
organization that advocated protecting ocean waters.
She gave a lecture for TerraMar at the University of Texas at Dallas and a TED talk, at
TEDx Charlottesville in 2014. [52] Maxwell
accompanied Stuart
Beck (J), a 2013 TerraMar board member, to two United Nations meetings to discuss the
project. [17] ( Wikipedia )
In 2014, a
United Nations event featured Maxwell as a speaker. According to her bio in the program,
Maxwell's "web-based non-profit" aimed "to protect the Oceans by empowering a global
community of ocean citizens ." It further described Maxwell as "a private helicopter pilot
and an Emergency Medical Technician and a qualified ROV and Deepworker submarine pilot
."
A former Coast Guard officer, Borgerson was also a fellow at the Council on Foreign
Relations , which featured Borgerson and Maxwell as speakers during one 2014 talk
titled "Governing the Ocean Commons: Growing Challenges, New Approaches." Friends of Maxwell,
according to The
New York Times , said Borgerson became her boyfriend. Maxwell had allegedly described
Borgerson as a " Navy SEAL " to her pals.
Maxwell's dubious charity also roped in the Clinton Global Initiative , the now-defunct
networking platform for the Clinton Foundation. In the fall of 2013, CGI named TerraMar as
one of the "commitments to action" at their annual meeting. (Emphasis added.
Daily Beast )
Did the Pedophile Island have an underground submarine base? Was it a part of global
pedophile network?
And was the Ocean Citizens project an attempt to escape national jurisdictions and thus gain
at least a partial immunity from police investigations and prosecutions?

Project
Interestingly, as late as 2016 Epstein bought also the nearby Great St. James Island. He
started to build on the island without permits.
There were rumors that he was building underground. For some reason the mainstream media has
had no interest in this second island.
Why is the mainstream media not interested in Ghislaine's many links to pedophilia?
Perhaps because Ghislaine has so many powerful friends. The photo of the pedophile artwork
on Ghislaine's wall was taken 13 March 2007 during a party at Ghislaine's New York townhouse.
The guest list included a curious combination of elite Jews, aristocratic Brits and American
WASPs.
The party was in Ghislaine's huge 7000-square-foot townhouse. It is located in the most
opulent and prestigious neighborhood of America, the Upper East Side , New York on East 65th
Street just off Park Avenue. Epstein's townhouse was only 10 blocks away.

story townhouse. Link to Street Easy Ghislaine's townhouse floor plan. Link to Street Easy

There are reports from reliable sources that the townhouse was sold in 2000 to Ghislaine by
Lynn
Forester de Rothschild . The very same woman who had introduced Epstein and Ghislaine to
Alan Dershowits and the Clintons in the 90s.
The Manhattan property, which is close to Epstein's mansion, is owned by Lynn Forester
de Rothschild, wife of British financier Sir Evelyn de Rothschild. (See
The Times and the original article .)
According to Business Insider Forester sold the townhouse to Ghislaine for less than half the
price.
Forester sold the mansion for about $8.5 million less than its assessed market value,
which was more than $13.4 million.
Was this a pay-off to Ghislaine from the King of Jews, the Rothschilds for services
rendered?
Hillary Clinton, Evelyn de Rothschild, Bill Clinton and Lynn Forester de
Rothschild. Link to Mint Press
It probably is also relevant that at the time of the sale of the townhouse the Prime
Minister of Israel was Ehud
Barak. In the 80s he had been the head of Aman, the Israeli Military Intelligence Agency.
As the Epstein Pedoscandal Mossad Timeline revealed, both Epstein and Ghislaine worked
for the Israeli intelligence agencies already in the 80s during the Iran-Contra operation.
Note that it was around year 2000 that Epstein and Ghislaine started the pedophile operation
in earnest. In the 80s and 90s blackmail operations were a side show but now it became the main
show involving hundreds of young girls.
Sexual blackmail – especially involving little children – can be an extremely
efficient way to influence key politicians and even military officials. A successful blackmail
operation can achieve more than several army divisions. No wonder Barak was so close to Epstein
and Ghislaine.
Furthermore, in 2000 the president of Israel was Moshe Katsev who was sexually harassing and
even raping his female subordinates. Later Katsev would be convicted of rape.
It was also in 2000 when the Israeli Vice-Consul of Rio de Janeiro, Arie Scher and Hebrew
language Professor George Schteinberg were running a pedophile ring for Israeli tourists. When
the Brasilian police started to investigate the Israeli consulate Scher managed to flee back to
Israel.
Link to Rodoh.info
In Israel Scher was not prosecuted. Instead in 2005 he was promoted to Consul of Canberra,
the capital of Australia. A spokesman for the Israeli Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem, Mark Regev
explained:
He [Arie Scher] was a young and single man at the time [in Brazil]. Now he is married
and he's six years older and there is no reason why he shouldn't make an excellent diplomatic
appointment in Australia.
Australia refused to let Scher enter the country.
Link to William Bowles Info
The most shocking part of the Arie/Aryeh Scher story is that the mainstream media was not
interested. Either the stories have been scrubbed from the internet or no stories were ever
written by mainstream journalists except one short story by BBC in 2000 and one even smaller
story
by The Sydney Morning Herald in 2005. Even more surprisingly Youtube does not seem to
have any videos about the Scher case.
No wonder Barak was absolutely convinced that the Western mainstream media would never dare
to criticize Israel and its intelligence agencies. Not even when Mossad was running pedophile
rings.
It was probably the Israeli leaders Shimon Peres, Ehud Barak and Moshe Katsev together with
the ultra-Zionist
Mega Group who made sure Epstein and especially the Maxwell family had not only immunity
from prosecution but also all the blackmail apparel necessary including luxury townhouses,
airplanes, yachts, submarines, ranch and a private island. All, of course, bugged to the
hilt.

Here the pedophile artwork at Ghislaine's New York townhouse can be seen behind Lillian von
Staufenberg who in March 2007 together with Ghislaine and Hamish Bowles organized a dinner
party in honor of Allegra Hicks. This at a time when Epstein had already been charged with
abusing young girls.
Why would Ghislaine have such a suspicious artwork on her wall knowing that it would
probably be photographed during the parties?
Why would Ghislaine and her quests take such a huge risk? Or was it a sign meant to be seen?
Was Ghislaine flaunting her power?
Ghislaine and her quests seemed to be absolutely sure that the mainstream media would not
dare to ask embarrassing questions.
They were right, of course. The mainstream media knows its place.
However, occasionally some courageous mainstream journalist or editor does try to give
hints. Some have even reported on Ghislaine's hyper-sexual reputation and her orgies. It is
just that the stories have mostly been scrubbed from the internet.
Fortunately, Whitney Webb from Mintpress has
found many of the scrubbed stories. Some of them mention the Mossad connection and others
note the orgies. For example, in 2003 a British newspaper, The Evening Standardreported
a revealing rumor.
Salacious reports have crossed the Atlantic about Ghislaine hosting bizarre parties at
her house to which she invites a dozen or so young girls, then brandishes a whip and teaches
them how to improve their sexual techniques.
It seems that Ghislaine was not only a madame to Epstein but also to the ruling elite. This
would both explain her popularity and the fact that the media – and especially the
American media – dares not to criticize her too much. Not even after her boyfriend
Epstein was charged with sex trafficking minors!
Ghislaine's friends are just too powerful. After the March 2007 party the British Daily
Mail newspaper was amazed how Ghislaine could still have attracted such creme de la
creme of the highest elite. Even more amazingly, the elite was practically swooning over
her.
The night before the party, the hostess [Ghislaine] had been inundated with calls from
disgruntled socialites, irked that they hadn't received an invitation.
The hostess greeted their objections with her customary charm, but remained unmoved. As
always, her list had been carefully edited, and she intended it to stay that way.
Among the select few were Hollywood star Matthew Modine, Kennedy family member Mrs
Anthony Radziwill, Peggy Siegel, PR consultant to the stars, and Julie Janklow, heir to a
literary dynasty.
There was a Rockefeller on the list, as well as the inevitable countesses, billionaires
and New York luminaries.
Link to Daily Mail
The guests at the party included also Renee Rockefeller who is married to Mark Rockefeller , the son of ex-Vice
President Nelson Rockefeller and nephew of David Rockefeller.
David Rockefeller lived at 146 East on the same 65th Street in the Upper East Side as
Ghislaine. They were practically neighbors. Ghislaine would have to walk only two minutes to
visit David.
David liked to pose for photos in his Beetle Room next to his favorite Picasso painting
depicting a nude child "prostitute".

David was often visited by his close friend Jacob Rothschild, the patriarch of the
Rothschild family.

As shown by the Epstein Pedoscandal Mossad Timeline both Epstein and Ghislaine
continued to move in the highest circles long after Epstein got out of jail. In fact, only last
year Ghislaine was invited to a secret writers' retreat hosted by the richest man in the world,
Jeff Bezos.
Link to The Daily Mail
Not only billionaires but also royalty kept in close contact with Ghislaine.
Prince Andrew was recently interviewed by the BBC about his relationship with Epstein,
Ghislaine and their sex slave Virginia Roberts.
Amazingly, Andrew claimed she has no recollection of Epstein's and Ghislaine's sex slave,
Virginia Roberts. This despite the fact that they were photographed together!
Prince Andrew,
Virginia Roberts and Ghislaine Maxwell. Link to Daily Mail Link to The Sun.com
Hardly anybody believes Andrew. The queen had no choice but to sack his own son.
Link to
Daily Mail
Andrew got sacked because he was caught in a lie.
Andrew claimed he could not have had sex with the 17-year old Virginia in 2001 because he
had stayed with the British consul general.
The problem is the consul general does not recall Andrew staying with him.
Link to Daily
Mail
Curiously, most of the mainstream media has forgotten that it was Ghislaine who recruited
and manipulated Virginia Roberts to become a sex slave.
Even the BBC forgot this crucial fact despite Andrew mentioning Ghislaine many times during
the interview.
Time and again, the Prince invoked his friendship with Maxwell, 57, daughter of
disgraced media tycoon Robert Maxwell, as the reason he came into paedophile Epstein's
orbit.
Asked when he last saw Maxwell, Andrew said his last contact was 'earlier this year,
funnily enough', when she 'was here doing some rally'. (
Daily Mail )
Andrew claimed to have met Ghislaine last spring. In fact, they met in June just after US
prosecutors reopened the case against Epstein.
The Duke of York held a meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell in London two weeks after US
prosecutors announced they wanted to reopen their investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
The meeting took place on or about June 5, the day before Ms Maxwell took part in a
four-day charity motoring rally from London to Monte Carlo.
Did Ghislaine demand that Andrew help make sure that the her own parallel case would not be
reopened?
After meeting Andrew she literally disappeared from the face of the earth.
The ex-socialite has not been seen since although rumours have placed her in Brazil,
France, the American mid-West and even the UK.
'No one knows where she is,' a lawyer for one of Epstein's victims said last night.
'She's done the greatest disappearing act known to man – or woman.' (
Daily Mail )
Link to Daily Mail
Shockingly, during the BBC interview Prince Andrew mentioned Ghislaine many times and seemed
to be proud of their friendship. Despite this the interviewer did not dare to ask questions
about their relationship.
Was this a message to all: Leave Ghislaine alone.
Ghislaine is obviously protected not only by the royal family but also by the whole ruling
elite. No wonder that she has the
Get-Out-of-Jail-Free card .
Ghislaine also tries to protect other Epstein associates.
Link to Daily Mail
Prince Andrew is now afraid to go to the US.
Five women who accuse Jeffrey Epstein of abusing them say Prince Andrew witnessed how
people were given massages at the sex offender's homes.
The lawyer for the women has told BBC
Panorama he plans to serve subpoenas to force the Duke of York to testify as a witness in
all five cases.
He says the prince could have important information about sex trafficking. ( BBC )
Link to BBC story and video
The BBC has now finally zoomed in on Ghislaine.
Another Epstein victim, Sarah Ransome told Panorama Ghislaine Maxwell, one of Prince
Andrew's oldest friends, worked hand in hand with Epstein.
"Ghislaine controlled the girls. She was like the Madam," she said.
"She was like the nuts and bolts of the sex trafficking operation and she would always
visit Jeffrey on the island to make sure the girls were doing what they were supposed to be
doing.
"She knew what Jeffrey liked. She worked and helped maintain Jeffrey's standard by
intimidation, by intimidating the girls, so this was very much a joint effort."
Ms Maxwell could not be reached for comment but has previously denied any involvement
in or knowledge of Epstein's abuse. ( BBC )
But the American media is still not interested in Ghislaine.
What the American mainstream media always willfully forgets is that Ghislaine Maxwell is the
key person and mastermind behind the whole pedo sex trafficking operation.
The key role of Ghislaine is not surprising. After all, her father was an Israeli super spy,
Robert Maxwell.
But perhaps this is the very reason why the American media is not interested.
For years Ghislaine has been at the center of a vast pedophile sex trafficking network. But
still to this day the American police has never dared to even interview her.
"... Ghislaine has to be made to talk. That's just a start. ..."
"... Part of me thinks they could all be scoundrels, one no better than the next. Knowing what I know about Jared Kushner's father has made me believe the worst. I'd like to think. We'll see. ..."
In the wake of - and in spite of - his death, France began a preliminary investigation of
Epstein for rape, etc., last year. He had an apartment in Paris and was returning to the US
from there when he was arrested in New Jersey in July, 2019.
Could this answer speculation as to why Ghislaine Maxwell chose to settle here in the US
instead of France?
I can't make heads from tails here until I see more done. Clayton still has to get
confirmed and Ghislaine has to be made to talk. That's just a start.
Part of me thinks they could all be scoundrels, one no better than the next. Knowing what
I know about Jared Kushner's father has made me believe the worst. I'd like to think. We'll
see.
She has hired Christian Everdell for her defense. "He was named one of New York's 2019
Super Lawyers for white collar criminal defense." He used to be an Assistant US Attorney
for SDNY where he helped convict El Chapo of the Sinaloa drug cartel.
A former colleague says he will do what is in the best interests of the client, but no
doubt he will be talking to her about the benefits of becoming a cooperating witness.
An acquaintance of Ghislaine Maxwell has told reporters that the socialite has secret video footage of Prince Andrew that was
filmed during her time as Jeffrey Epstein's so called 'madam'.
Christina Oxenberg
told The
Sun that Andrew, the British Queen's son, "is one of many johns, all of whom were videotaped by Ghislaine."
"He is not a victim here, but Ghislaine was never his friend, she was taping him," Oxenberg added, noting that "Friends don't
tape friends."
Oxenberg is the daughter of Princess Elizabeth of Yugoslavia, making her Prince Andrew's cousin.
She told reporters that she believes Maxwell is seeking to trade information with the FBI, and possibly the videos to save
herself.
"I think she thinks she can get out, obviously she's planning on trading [information]," Oxenberg said.
Oxenberg says she was interviewed by the FBI last year in regards to the case, and that she is willing to testify against
Maxwell.
The report claims that the royal said Maxwell previously bragged to her about obtaining underage girls under Epstein's influence.
"I will definitely be there to remind her that in '97, she told me copious amounts," Oxenberg said.
It is not clear if Oxenberg is the same person who was cited anonymously in another report this week claiming that Maxwell
has secret sex tapes that "could implicate some twisted movers and shakers."
"If Ghislaine goes down, she's going to take the whole damn lot of them with her," the source
told the Daily Mail .
As we
highlighted last week, a lawyer for one of Epstein's accusers thinks that Ghislaine Maxwell could reveal a "bigger name" involved
in Epstein's pedophile network in order to secure a plea deal following her arrest.
"I'm sure that Ghislaine's attorneys will try to make a deal where she speaks out about a bigger name to get reduced charges
for herself," said Lisa Bloom
"... who set up the dummy LLC through which the property was acquired? A law firm, right? And who found the place? Were they steered to this property by the FBI? ..."
" they also
noted that she had been hiding out on a 156-acre property in Bradford. She lived in an
estate with "a fabulous barn for hoedowns, square dances, and hay rides," according to the
property
site Zillow ." BG
" Maxwell, a citizen of three countries, apparently bought the home in an all-cash purchase
at the end of December through an anonymous LLC, a prosecutor's memo said. The LLC has a
Boston-based mailing address, according to public records.
" We had been discreetly keeping tabs on Maxwell's whereabouts ," said William F. Sweeney
Jr., the assistant director in charge of the FBI's New York office, at a press conference.
"More recently we learned she had slithered away to a gorgeous property in New Hampshire,
continuing to live a life of privilege while her victims live with the trauma inflicted upon
them years ago." The memo said she had been "hiding out in locations in New England" for the
past year ." BG

When I was a kid I used to drive my father back and forth from Sanford, Maine to Grenier,
AFB at Manchester, NH. He had a retirement job at the base (long closed) as the budget analyst
for the facility. He never learned to drive. Central New Hampshire is a forested and somewhat
gloomy land both east and west of Manchester. Bradford looks to be 40 miles NW of Manchester. I
never had any reason to go west of Manchester into the center of the state. All of central NH
is a land of coniferous forest and tiny villages like Bradford. South of Manchester the scene
is dominated by immigrants from Massachusetts centered around a big town, Nashua. The actual
locals in greater NH refer to them as Massholes. They moved to NH to escape MA taxes.
A million bucks for 156 acres of pine and fir with a nice house and the wondrous barn
mentioned above? Sounds like a great deal to me, even in an all cash deal. A million dollars
wouldn't get you anything like that where I live at Alexandria in Occupied, Virginia now ruled
by the Quisling Northam. So, who set up the dummy LLC through which the property was acquired?
A law firm, right? And who found the place? Were they steered to this property by the FBI?
The FBI in NY gave a presser and handed out a memo on the "score." Why the NY City office of
the FBI? My WAG would be that they have had one or more sources on the books in NY City telling
them where she has been since her "disappearance," and keeping them up to date on her
activities and location. Who? There must be at least one lawyer in the mix. A lot of lawyers
would "rat out" a client in a heartbeat if approached by the FBI. They know the cost of
refusing to cooperate.
The FBI brought the NYPD as well as the local flics to make this arrest? Why did they do
that? I just checked in Wikipedia and Bradford has not been ceded to NY City.
My uber WAG would now be that she probably never left the US. In an age of digital passport
controls at frontiers it is not easy to move around internationally without being reported
electronically. I suppose she could have sneaked across the Canada/US border in northern New
England, but she doesn't look the type for spooking around in some little border town or hiking
through the Maine woods. And, the Canadians would have noticed her when she arrived at one of
their airports even by private jet.
No, on balance I would bet that all the stuff about her residence in Israel or France is
probably hot air, but I could be wrong. pl
She could have escaped the country. Carlos Ghosn had escaped prosecution in Japan by
hiding in a box taken aboard a private plane, eventually finding his way to Lebanon.
Perhaps she felt she was untouchable. Or maybe Israel, where she would have been protected
against extradition to the US, wasn't safe for her.
What I still can't grasp is the whole Berman/Clayton situation. There's no question she
could have been arrested sooner. It seems Berman was blocking her arrest. Also there is a lot
of resistance to Clayton's nomination. Even Senator Lindsay Graham, who has become something
of an ally to Trump, has come out in opposition to it. It's very strange.
It has enough irregularity in it to remind me of JFKjr plane crash. If she truly has the
same goods as JE, then it would require days of testimony and corroboration, months even,
along with locating and reviewing said actual physical evidence. It would not take a few days
post-arrest; legal matters simply take forever at this level, and the more lawyers the longer
it takes whether civil or criminal.
This reeks to me of a cover story for someone who had their ears pinned back months or
years ago by one team or the other.
I don't know but I suspect she calculated that she was safer in America than elsewhere. I
think she was probably concerned about the British more than anyone else. Prince Andrew is a
chump, but a Royal one.
I would expect that the FBI and perhaps her lawyers also lulled her into a false sense of
security. - designed to keep her "within range" and perhaps over time she becomes careless
enough to reveal the location of hidden evidence.
In my darkest moods I suspect she now needs to be "dealt with", perhaps to remove spoiling
opportunities with one or more Democratic party candidates.
I am concerned for her safety. I am especially concerned that she be kept totally isolated
from the rest of the prison population. We had a "super grass" crook - Carl Williams in jail
here. He was singing about judicial corruption. He was inexplicably transferred to a unit
shared with two homicidal inmates who murdered him. I say "inexplicable" since the prison
governor responsible then went deer hunting near here and has not been seen since.
"What I still can't grasp is the whole Berman/Clayton situation. There's no question she
could have been arrested sooner." Of course you "grasp it." Democrat big-wigs will be
implicated if she talks. It is amusing how much this affair resembles the TeeVee Series
"Billions."
For the first time in her privileged life, ex-socialite Ghislaine Maxwell is living in
conditions described by one judge in 2016 as similar to a 'prison on Turkey or a Third World
Country.'
The 58-year-old Maxwell was arrested after hiding out in a lavish four-bedroom,
four-bathroom mansion in New Hampshire, which Bloomberg notes sports views of the Mount Sunapee
foothills from every room.
After being initially booked in New Hampshire on multiple charges related to trafficking
underage girls for the sexual gratification of dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, Maxwell was
transferred on Monday to New York's Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) - home to over 1,600
male and female detainees which was built at the turn of the 20th century and used during both
world wars, according to
Bloomberg .
No one wants to go to jail, but the conditions described at the MDC have been the subject
of numerous complaints and scrutiny that rival the rat-infested federal lockup in Lower
Manhattan where Epstein was held.
In early 2019, hundreds of inmates at the MDC were locked shivering in their cells for at
least a week after an electrical fire knocked out power in the building. The inmates spent
some of the coldest days of that winter in darkness, largely without heat and hot water. -
Bloomberg
One inmate, Derrilyn Needham, has been incarcerated at MDC since last November along with 30
other women who slept in bunk beds. Needham said social distancing was difficult, and that for
three days starting April 23, the women were on "lockdown on our bunk beds, not able to leave
our bunks except to use the bathroom or shower.
She added that they hadn't been given gloves, hand sanitizer or disinfectant wipes - and
that despite symptoms of COVID-19, the assistant warden said she couldn't receive a test for
the virus.
According to The
Intercept , " The number of reported coronavirus symptoms far exceeds the number of tests
MDC has performed ." In May, the facility came under fire for allegedly destroying medical
records "as part of a deliberate effort to obscure the number of incarcerated people infected
with the coronavirus."
The
report , filed Thursday as part of a putative class-action lawsuit by people held in
custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, casts doubt on assertions by the
Bureau of Prisons , which runs the jail, and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern
District, which serves as counsel for the bureau. The Bureau of Prisons and federal
prosecutors have insisted in court that the situation at the jail is under control. But the
medical examiner's report -- which contradicted prison assertions that Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention guidelines were being followed -- suggests that the six people in
custody who have tested positive for the disease likely represent the tip of the iceberg . -
The
Intercept
After the pandemic began, the detention center was deemed "ill-equipped" to deal with the
spread of COVID-19 by former chief medical officer for the city's jails, Homer Venters, who
says he's "concerned about the ongoing health and safety of the population," and slammed
administrators for failing to adequately deal with the pandemic.
That said, MDC has been on the receiving end of criticism over its conditions long before
coronavirus was an issue.
Cheryl Pollak, the federal magistrate in Brooklyn, has repeatedly voiced concerns about
the MDC after reviewing a report by the National Association of Women Judges, who visited the
facility and found that 161 female inmates were housed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in
two large rooms that lacked windows, fresh air or sunlight and weren't allowed out to
exercise. -
Bloomberg
"Some of these conditions wouldn't surprise me if we were dealing with a prison in Turkey or
a Third World Country," Pollak said during a 2016 hearing. "It's hard for me to believe it's
going on in a federal prison."
White Nat , 30 minutes ago
Multiple charges related to trafficking underage girls for the sexual gratification of
dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. These charges barely scratch the surface of what Maxwell and Epstein were guilty of.
Anyone who thinks "Barr finally let the hammer down!" needs to ask themselves, if Maxwell
is Public Enemy #1, why would they casually, matter of factly, ho-humly, stick her in the
same lousy facility where 1. her partner Epstein mysterious croaked, and which 2. just
happens to be filled with Corvid-19 cases. Why not stick her in an army base a la Frankie
Five Angels? (Oops, that didn't work out either). Or some cell in Oklahoma? It's an obvious
set up for her demise (though only a real crank would think the whole Corvid-19 was a set-up
for this from the start.....) Oh, and by the way, that obviously isn't Ghislaine Maxwell.
OCnStiggs , 4 hours ago
Think outside the box:
If you wanted TOTAL and complete cooperation from Epstein's close associate, why not
threaten her with the same fate as her boss? In fact, perhaps Epstein was sacrificed simply
to put pressure on Maxwell.
She is the literal walking-talking black book who knows
everything and everyone. She knows more than Epstein. She set everything up. Ever wonder why
she stayed in the states? My guess, the Feds got to her 12 months ago and have been
monitoring her calls since then. They have already worked out a plea bargain with her. And
the woman seen going into a lock up? A double or Maxwell before they walk her out the front
door and into a cab.
NOTHING can stop what is coming. NOTHING.

Clever deceptive wording. She's been arrested on charges "related to" sex trafficking underage kids. Not charges FOR sex trafficking of underage kids. If she got a parking ticket while
kidnapping, raping, and killing a child, that parking ticket would be "related to" the
murder.
Look how she is not charged for the sex trafficking itself! This is obviously a limited
hangout. The documentary got the general public asking why she was living high on the hog,
scot free.
So this is to placate the public more than tighten any screws.

After a life of luxury and then a night in the New York's Metropolitan Detention Center,
you know she's told her lawyer to start wheeling and dealing to get her out of that hellhole.
She'll be giving everybody up and handing over everything she has on the people who came
through all of Epstein's properties. Maxwell couldn't make it through a year at this place or
any federal penitentiary. With the entire world knowing what her proclivities are she'll be
licking the pussies of every inmate locked up where ever she's sent.

We immediately noticed a peculiarity about the indictment
document provided by Strauss. It covered only a brief 4-year period, running from 1994
through 1997. One of the main accusers of Maxwell, Virginia (Roberts) Giuffre, has credibly
indicated in previous court filings that Epstein and Maxwell sexually abused her "between
1999 and 2002." That should lengthen the scope of the indictment by five additional
years.
...
The Southern District of New York, home to some of the biggest and most powerful Wall
Street banks and their attorneys, who cycle in and out of jobs in that office, might have a
strong reason to want to keep Giuffre's claims out of this case. Giuffre has stated the
following in a previous court filing against Epstein:
"In addition to being continually exploited to satisfy Defendant's every sexual whim,
Plaintiff was also required to be sexually exploited by Defendant's adult male peers,
including royalty, politicians, academicians, businessmen, and/or other professional and
personal acquaintances most of these acts of abuse occurred during a time when Defendant knew
that Plaintiff was approximately 15, 16 and 17 years old "
Indicative of how things work in the Southern District of New York, Maxwell's lawyer in
the case is Christian Everdell of Cohen & Gresser. Everdell spent almost a decade as an
Assistant U.S. Attorney in that office before arriving at Cohen & Gresser in 2017.
There is an abundance of evidence to be suspicious of how the U.S. Attorney's office is
handling this case. It is 14 years that the Justice Department has been sitting on the case
against Maxwell.
The Palm Beach, Florida Police Chief, Michael Reiter, handed a deeply investigated case
against Epstein and Maxwell over to the FBI in July of 2006 according to the intrepid
reporting of Julie K. Brown in the Miami Herald in November of 2018. Brown indicated that
it took just eight months of FBI interviews for the U.S. Attorney's office in Florida to have
a 53-page Federal indictment ready to file against Epstein involving sexual assaults against
dozens of underage girls.
But the indictment was never filed. A "deal" was worked out by then U.S. Attorney, Alex
Acosta, and Epstein's well-connected lawyers. Federal charges were dropped against Epstein
and he was allowed to plead guilty to only Florida state charges: one count of soliciting sex
from a minor and one count of soliciting sex from an adult woman. Epstein was able to serve
just 13 months in jail while also given a work release program to sit in his well-appointed
office 12 hours a day, and driven around by his chauffeured limo. The deal was so
outrageously constructed that it even denied his victims knowledge of the terms of the
deal.
It was only because of the public outrage that was unleashed by Brown's reporting in the
Miami Herald and her emotional personal video interviews with Epstein's victims, that the
Justice Department was forced to bring new charges in 2019. Those charges were brought by the
U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, the same office that just
indicted Maxwell.
This whole thing smells... Why wasn't she taken out when Jeffy exited the stage in some
form or another... You can't tell me that nobody knew where she was... Nothing makes sense
about this...

What I genuinely don't understand is that, given Maxwell's power and connections, given
the total corruption of the alphabet agencies, how was she not spirited away to Israel and
given a new identity? Instead she's arrested without trouble on American soil. I truly don't

Ghislaine Maxwell seems to be going through hell right now, only she doesn't want you to
know it danielgbates

'What the flick is going on seriously, what the flick', said the English woman's voice. It
was minutes before the first appearance for Ghislaine Maxwell at federal court in New
Hampshire was due to start and the voice unexpectedly came on the dial-in line for
journalists. The voice appeared extremely upset and said: 'I don't understand'. She repeated
it again but broke down in tears and couldn't finish the word. I heard her say 'I'm trying'
but all you could hear was sobbing. A court officer came on and said: 'Please mute your
lines, people' and she was gone. By the time the hearing began she was a different person,
calm and composed, her working class accent replaced by the familiar cut glass English voice
telling the world: I'm in control.
But what we heard moments before appeared to be Ghislaine Maxwell caught on a hot mic,
unaware that dozens of journalists, including me, were listening in to her. She sounded
confused and in complete disbelief.
For somebody who has lived in privilege her whole life, you can imagine that this did not
compute. Plucked from her $1m, 156-acre New Hampshire estate at 8.30am by FBI agents, she was
now appearing in a federal court via video link from the Merrimack county jail. How could
this happen to me. This isn't right. I don't understand, or as she apparently put it:
'Seriously, what the flick?'
You can't help but feel that Maxwell is having a taste of what her alleged victims have
been going through for years. A feeling that you are no longer in control of your own life, a
feeling that your sense of power has been stripped away from you. Both sound horrible and
like nothing anyone should ever go through but, as her alleged victims no doubt see it, they
couldn't happen to a nicer person.
I really hope that the federal authorities ensure that Maxwell lives to face a trial.
After such a long wait her victims deserve that much, and she deserves due process (an
unpopular view among some, perhaps, but everyone deserves it, even terrorists). Maxwell
denies all the allegations that she was Epstein's 'madam' who arranged underage girls for him
to have sex with, and sometimes took part in the abuse. But the evidence against her is
compelling and you just have to look at the flight logs from Epstein's planes to raise
serious questions. How will she answer this? 'Tell me Miss Maxwell, what were you doing
flying 815 times between 1995 and 2007 on a private jet called the Lolita Express with a man
who in 2009 became a registered sex offender who had admitted having raped underage
girls?'
I suspect that the timing of Maxwell's arrest has to do with the compensation scheme for
Epstein's victims starting taking applications a week before, on June 25. Under the
programme, victims of Epstein can submit their cases for money from his estate with all $650m
apparently up for grabs and no upper cap. But there is one catch: the victims have to stay
any civil action against Epstein's estate in order to get the money. Until Maxwell was
charged it meant they had to make the awful choice between compensation and chasing justice
through the civil courts. That was essentially a re-run of Epstein's 2008 sweetheart plea
deal only this time they had to give their approval to it (which in some ways is worse). But
now Maxwell has been indicted there is no conflict: they can stay their civil cases and watch
as Maxwell's case works its way through the courts. It must be a huge relief for them
all.
The two perjury charges against Maxwell show that her arrogance has been one of the things
that brought her down. Epstein invoked his Fifth Amendment during every deposition and walked
out when asked about the shape of penis (egg shaped, if you're curious -- you have attorney
Spencer Kuvin to thank for that gem). Maxwell wasn't as crafty and at one point banged a
table in frustration at the 'lies' being told about her. She lost her head and lost her cool
and said 'I don't know what you're talking about' when asked if Epstein had a scheme to
recruit underage girls. Asked if she knew Epstein used sex toys in sexual activities, she
said 'no'. According to federal prosecutors, these were both lies, and she was talking under
oath. Why didn't she just keep her mouth shut and plead the Fifth? To me it's baffling.

One of the really sweet ironies about Epstein killing himself (at least, that's what the
autopsy said) is that it almost certainly made Maxwell's arrest more likely. Much has been
written about how Epstein did his best to shaft his victims by setting up a trust to manage
his financial affairs in the USVI two days before he died. That didn't work out because was
we now know they could get all his (declared) money in compensation. But the real kicker is
that with his death the no.1 target of the FBI's investigation became Maxwell. Would she have
been arrested if he was still alive? Maybe, but it was far less likely.
With his final act Epstein stuck a knife in the back of the person who was one his
girlfriend and right hand woman. That's loyalty for you.
Bearing that in mind why wouldn't Maxwell talk to the prosecutors to save herself? It's
not like Epstein is still around for her to protect, and even if he was, do you think she'd
care? And if Maxwell is talking then, oh boy, that makes this case even more interesting. In
a mafia investigation you'd get the guys lower down the ladder first and them to build a case
against the boss. But if you've already got the boss, who do you use her to get?

Ghislaine (S is silent) Maxwell is the youngest of ten siblings (two of whom have passed
away.)
Father was Jewish (non-observant,) her mother, Anglican. All children were raised Anglican
by their not-so-strict mother. The children enjoyed a wildly privileged upbringing akin to
that of the Royals.
Ghislaine's father, the 6'4" Robert Maxwell, led a colorful life but over-reached and his
publishing empire began to crack. He died in 1991 after falling overboard from his 180' motor
yacht, "Lady Ghislaine," (named for his favorite child.) He suffered a heart attack (probably
while struggling to climb back aboard) and drowned.
Ghislaine was said to be the apple of his eye.
The fate of Ghislaine is sad, really. It didn't have to be that way. She fell under the
spell of Epstein. Epstein was the wealthy father figure coveted by Ghislaine to fill in the
void left by her father's death.
Growing up, she was "Daddy's precious girl." After the death of her father in '91 when she
was 29, she longed for that bond of closeness and security which she saw in surrogate
Epstein. But Epstein used her and abused her for his own gratification and surely coerced her
into fulfilling the "pimp" role that Epstein required to live the prurient life he
demanded.
Ghislaine is not without significant guilt but she was not the ringleader; that was
Epstein. I predict she won't be sentenced as severely as many would like. And rightly so
because Epstein prodded her into doing much of, if not all of what she did that was criminal.
She needed Epstein; he was her oxygen.
That said, the crime of pedophilia and corruption of minors is a reprehensible crime for
which she must pay.

I think both Epstein and his Mossad handler Gislane, will have multiple backups of
incriminating evidence on hundreds of politicians, judges, academics, celebrities, and
business leaders ( not the shareholders, but the hired guns ), for exactly this set of
circumstances.
After being arrested in Bradford, New Hampshire last Thursday, before the Fourth of July
weekend, Ghislaine Maxwell, charged with helping Jeffrey Epstein abuse underage girls, may have
her arraignment, initial appearance, and bail hearing in Manhattan, New York City on Friday
afternoon, 10 July.
In a letter dated and filed in the federal court on Sunday, 5 July, the U.S. Attorney's
Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) said that when in New Hampshire Maxwell had
what would have been a brief appearance before a judge. This is required after an arrest, and
is to occur "without unnecessary delay" [1].--
The government asked that Maxwell be detained in custody until a trial, in a paper filed the
day of the arrest. The motion for detention contains a few items of interest. She was born in
France and is a citizen of and appears to have passports for at least France, Britain, and the
U.S. The request for detention says: " Based on the Government's investigation to date, the
Government has identified more than 15 different bank accounts held by or associated with the
defendant from 2016 to the present, and during that same period, the total balances of those
accounts have ranged from a total of hundreds of thousands of dollars to more than $20
million"--
The criminal indictment of Maxwell, which was unsealed the day of the arrest on 2 July,
charges a curious time period of only "at least in or about 1994, up to and including at least
in or about 1997", and refers to only three victims--
The very limited written criminal charge can of course be seen as an opening gambit by the
prosecution, since it can be expanded in a superseding indictment.
The letter filed with the court clerk identifies Christian Everdell as the current attorney
for Maxwell; he had been a federal prosecutor in the SDNY for nearly 10 years [2]. In court
documents a familiar surname appears as one of the SDNY co-prosecutors for the federal
government -- Maurene Comey -- who was in the same role in the aborted prosecution of Jeffrey
Epstein. The legal communities in New York City and Washington D.C. are two little clubs that
sometimes tend to overlap.
If a court hearing takes place Friday, it will probably duplicate some of what happened in
New Hampshire on 2 July. The big issue at this time is whether Ghislaine Maxwell will remain in
custody or be released on bail under some specific conditions. Her arrest was described in an
article in the British Daily Mail newspaper [3].
Documents from the 2 July court proceeding in New Hampshire have now been filed in the SDNY.
Here are three of the 33 pages: the court clerk's docket sheet from Concord, New Hampshire, and
the arrest warrant, which was authorized at the courthouse in White Plains, New York, and not
in Manhattan! The pages that are excluded are the indictment, the order allowing a hearing by
video and telephone conference, the commitment order to send Maxwell to the SDNY, and three
pages that basically duplicate the clerk's docket sheet--
The case is multi-sided. Ghislaine's father, Robert Maxwell, was a publisher who also was
caught up in financial machinations. He died under mysterious circumstances in 1991 when he was
found in the water outside of his large boat in the area of the Canary Islands. There were
rumors he had relationships with government intelligence agencies. He was given a large funeral
in Israel attended by Israeli politicians and was buried in a cemetery there. Ghislaine's close
relationship with Jeffrey Epstein is part of the factual foundation of the pending case.
Epstein had been protected from criminal liability by the U.S. government through the
Department of Justice which became evident in state and federal criminal cases developed
against him in Florida that resulted in a disgraceful plea deal in Florida state court and in
an equally disgraceful and concealed non-prosecution agreement with the federal government.
Only through the determination of Florida attorney Bradley Edwards and Utah lawyer Paul
Cassell, a former federal judge, was the perfidy of the federal government and Justice
Department revealed through their lawsuit against the government under the Crime Victims'
Rights Act--
Jeffery Epstein made some court appearances in his criminal case in the SDNY before he was
said to have been found dead in the Manhattan federal Metropolitan Corrections Center from an
"apparent suicide", when cameras were not working, blah blah blah. That explanation was
rightfully laughed out of town. In terms of probability, Epstein was either murdered in the
jail or was helped to escape.
And now here comes Ghislaine Maxwell.
[1] Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 5. Initial Appearance.
I read that one of the victims listened to the arraignment on the telephone and a woman
with a British accent could be heard sobbing and wailing in background and saying "How could
this happen? How can this be?" Sounds like she thought she had her stay in NH "wired up."
IMO, anyone expecting that the plutocrat pedo ring will be busted will be sorely
disappointed and is not paying attention to justice in contemporary America!
Sir Epstein was reportedly at the epicenter of a pedo ring for decades. He clearly engaged
in all this with impunity for a long while. Including getting a sweetheart deal from the US
attorney in Miami who landed up as Trump's Labor Secretary. This indictment is for the period
1994-97 so far. It would imply that Prince Andrew and Dershowitz are off the hook. Also,
Virginia Roberts Guiffre's sex trafficking claims are not part of this indictment, while a
judge has ordered her to destroy evidence. She also has a defamation case against Ghislaine
Maxwell.
Robert, thanks for keeping us up to speed with the legal details.
Do you have an opinion on whether count three's mention of co-conspirators may be
significant, or the fact that the Public Corruption Unit are handling the case?
Colonel, my first thought when I heard the story of the sobbing woman with a British
accent was that it could easily have be staged, so as to give the impression of justice being
done. Cynicism is hard to escape in this case, though I try to keep an open mind.
We'll find out if Bill Barr is for real or just another swamp creature in sheep's
clothing.
Still waiting on the Durham "investigation" and the election is only 4 months away.
"I can't judge Prince Andrew; we've all been young once," Jordan's Prince Hassan
told an English interviewer. I'm not sure whether that's a barbed comment or not given that
the Duke is scarcely in his first youth.
"Andrew is naive and unworldly, a product of the royal bubble." says another
scandal sheet. I suspect he may well be innocent of everything except naivety.
Naivety in the Epstein circle could lead to a lot of trouble. I'm surprised the Palace
establishment let one of their charges out without a minder. Bit late now.
Let's hope the Federal Detention Center in Brooklyn is more secure than the one in
Manhattan where Epstein was held. What about Epstein's other accomplices that helped to recruit underage girls? Maxwell was
just one of several.
Wiki entry on Maxwell says that she also associated with Kevin Spacey a self-confessed a$$
bandit. So the question arises, was she also pimping out underage poolboys?
I read an interesting point I can't really evaluate on my own, which is that the
prosecution is coming out of the FBI's Public Corruption Unit, which is a department
specifically designed to deal with issues arising from prosecution of politicians. Reportedly
they suss out subtle quid-pro-quos, rarely settle, and indicates there could be more
interesting layers to this case.
Epstein brought CIA drug smugglers Southern Air Transport to Columbus. Epstein at
Bear Stearns ran brokerage errands for the CIA money launderers and pimps of BCCI. Epstein
bragged about being CIA and Ohio state VIPs believed him.
Epstein skated for the Tower Financial ponzi scheme that topped up CIA's
covert-crime slush fund after CIA proprietary BCCI stole everybody's money and blew up. Epstein
got bankrolled by CIA's famous secret agent Adnan Kashoggi. Epstein smuggled an enormously
illegal NYPD shotgun in through British customs, using CIA agent Ed Wilson's old trick for
impressing foreign VIPs. Federal prosecutors convict 99.8% of their perps, but one let Epstein
off the hook for his giant pedo whorehouse because he was told Epstein belonged to
intelligence.
You would not have thought it was possible, but Epstein with his hilariously fake
hedge fund is more blatantly CIA than Imran Awan. So clearly we need six thousand more internet
bullshitters screaming about pervy Mossad blackmailers – CIA is hopelessly busted for
everybody with a 3-digit IQ.
FBI does have strong levers on Trump. This is the essence of the "Deep State" concept --
intelligence agencies became unhinged and work as a powerful political actors.
Notable quotes:
"... Thank you Mina, yes that or the deep state throwing down the gauntlet. I don't think we can assume that Trump actually has control of the FBI. If he did he would likely have deep sixed the Democrazis through the Awan family spy and blackmail scam. But he didn't. They and Debbie Wasserman Shultz were protected/had dirt on DT. ..."
Maxwell's arrest makes me wonder if it is not about Trump throwing down the gauntlet?
Thank you Mina, yes that or the deep state throwing down the gauntlet. I don't think we can
assume that Trump actually has control of the FBI. If he did he would likely have deep sixed
the Democrazis through the Awan family spy and blackmail scam. But he didn't. They and Debbie
Wasserman Shultz were protected/had dirt on DT.
If the kiddy fiddlers get outed following Ghislaine dropping some of her likely thousands
of hours of home movies then that includes Trump and Biden.
In the fetid atmosphere of
accusations against pussy grabbers and finger f#ckers and hair sniffers neither could
survive. The pack will run rabid.
Is there a woman in the house? Yes, they cried AND she has experience!! Plus the campaign will be televised and it would be a virtual campaign because Covid. No
need to rig audience, the polls or the balllot.
The question now is: How do they stop Ghislaine from testifying? Having her "commit
suicide" in her cell with all the cell block cameras off starts to look a little, I don't
know, "blatant", wouldn't one think?
Well, blatant is not a concept that the oligarch class actually feel any problem with.
Update (1215ET): Acting US Attorney Audrey Strauss said that "this case against Ghislaine
Maxwell is a prequel to the earlier case that we brought against Jeffrey Epstein,"
" Maxwell lied because the truth, as alleged, was almost unspeakable. Maxwell enticed
minor girls, got them to trust her, then delivered them into the trap that she and Epstein
had set for them. She pretended to be a woman they could trust..."
" We were working hard on this investigation this past year. It's not easy to put together
a case that goes back that far. There's nothing other than we did the investigation, and we
were ready at this time to proceed."
Strauss said that the firing of Former US Attorney Geoffrey Berman did not affect timing of
this arrest "at all". We will likely never know one way or another but the timing is definitely
interesting.
Finally, asked about a royal connection, Strauss declines to update on the status of anyone
in an investigation but says that she "would welcome Prince Andrew coming in to talk with
us."
"We would like to have the benefit of his statement," Strauss said, adding their doors
remain open.
We will not be holding our breath.
Additionally, FBI New York Assistant Director in Charge William Sweeney, Jr. said
investigators have been discreetly keeping tabs on Maxwell's location and found that she had
"slithered away" to a "gorgeous" home in Bradford, New Hampshire, where she was arrested
Thursday without incident.
Having been decidedly off-the-radar for months since the controversial 'suicide' of Jeffrey
Epstein,
NBC New York reports that Ghislaine Maxwell, has been arrested by the FBI and charged by
federal prosecutors.
Multiple senior law enforcement officials
reportedly said the British socialite and heiress was arrested in New Hampshire on
Epstein-related charges and is expected to appear in a federal court later today .
The long-time friend and confidante of Jeffrey Epstein was alleged to have helped Epstein
groom teen girls for sex with the rich and powerful.
"[Ghislaine] Maxwell assisted, facilitated and contributed to Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of
minor girls by, among other things, helping Epstein to recruit, groom, and ultimately abuse
victims ...
"The victims were as young as 14."
"In particular, between in or about 1994 and in or about 1997, MAXWELL was in an intimate
relationship with Epstein and also was paid by Epstein to manage his various properties."
Ghislaine has been accused by three women of procuring and training young girls to perform
massage and sexual acts on Epstein and his associates.
Virginia Giuffre (previously named Virginia Roberts), one of Epstein's alleged victims,
claimed in a civil lawsuit that Maxwell "recruited" her into Epstein's orbit, where she was
forced to have sex with Epstein and his powerful friends, including Prince Andrew.
Giuffre asserts in her complaint that Maxwell, the sole defendant in the suit and the
daughter of late publishing magnate Robert Maxwell, routinely recruited underaged girls for
Epstein and was doing so when she approached the $9-an-hour locker room attendant at
Mar-a-Lago in 1999 about giving massages to the wealthy investment banker.
Giuffre alleges that Maxwell ultimately trained her in how to give "massages" to Epstein
that involved sex acts and, essentially, prostitution . When Maxwell publicly denied the
allegations and called Giuffre a liar in 2015, that gave her the opening to head to federal
court and file the defamation suit now headed for trial. -
Politico
In May
we noted that the accused 'madam' was reportedly holed up in a luxury apartment on Paris's
Avenue Matignon - just a five minute drive from the dead pedophile's $8.6 million flat.
Maxwell "is moving locations every month to keep private investigators off her tail and is
staying at the residences of trusted colleagues and contacts," according to a
source.
"She wants to remain in France for as long as she can to take advantage of extradition
laws and has a huge network of contacts willing to keep her hidden," they added. " Under
French law anyone born on French soil is safe from extradition to another country, regardless
of the alleged crime. "
As Esquire's Gabrielle Bruney explained in May, Maxwell is the youngest of Elisabeth and
Robert Maxwell's nine children, and was born in
France in 1961 . The family lived in an English mansion, and her father was the founder of
a media empire and served in Parliament .
Maxwell attended one of the UK's most
exclusive boarding schools and then Oxford University. As members of British high society,
Maxwell mingled with some of the nation's most celebrated families, and became
friends with Prince Andrew .
Her father died in 1991, after falling off his yacht and drowning. It's been speculated that
his
death may have been a suicide , as on the day he died he was due to meet with the
Bank of England over the matter of his
being in default on millions in loans. After his death, the British media dubbed him the "
crook of the century ," when it was revealed that he'd taken hundreds of millions of pounds
from his employees pension funds. Maxwell told one news outlet after her father's death that
she felt
he was murdered .
She moved to the United States the year of her father's death, and soon met Jeffrey Epstein.
The relationship marked a second reversal of fortunes for Maxwell, whose family lost much of
its wealth after her father's death. In 2000, she moved into a $4.95 million Manhattan
townhouse purchased "by an anonymous limited liability company, with an address that
matches the office of J. Epstein & Co. Representing the buyer was Darren Indyke, Mr.
Epstein's longtime lawyer." She was his companion for years, managing his households and
introducing him to her society friends
Maxwell and her father in 1984.
According to a lawsuit she filed this year in hopes of winning funds from the late
financier's estate, "While under Epstein's employ, Maxwell was responsible for managing
Epstein's properties located in New York, Paris, Florida, New Mexico, and the U.S. Virgin
Islands."
"During the course of their relationship, including while Maxwell was in Epstein's
employ,"
the lawsuit reads , "Epstein promised Maxwell that he would support her financially.
Epstein made these promises to Maxwell repeatedly, both in writing and in conversation."
However, a 2003 Vanity Fair profile of Epstein denied that Maxwell
was an employee.
After Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from an underage girl, the two
appeared to end their public association. In 2009, accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre
filed a civil suit against Epstein accusing him and Maxwell of grooming her into their
alleged sex trafficking ring. However, Maxwell remained a fixture in New York society until
around 2015. In 2012, she founded an environmental nonprofit called The TerraMar project, which
folded in late
2019.
Epstein with Maxwell in 1995
Though multiple survivors have alleged that Maxwell participated in Epstein's alleged
crimes, she's never been criminally charged. One thing that could stymie
potential efforts to level charges against Maxwell is the infamous 2008 plea deal that
Epstein struck with the US Attorney for Miami, Alexander
Acosta , which found him serving just 13 months in prison after initially facing charges
that could have garnered him a life sentence. Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich producer Joe
Berlinger described the deal to Esquire as "unprecedented, unheard of sweetheart deal" that
"included a non-prosecution agreement for named and unnamed co-conspirators."
In April, an
appeals court upheld the 2007 deal, writing in its opinion that the decision was "not a
result we like, but it's the result we think the law requires."

Maxwell is currently suing Epstein's estate for money for her legal fees, and for the price
of private security, alleging that her "
prior employment relationship " with Epstein has caused to her be subjected to death
threats.
As
Jonathan Turley notes , frankly, as a criminal defense lawyer, I am surprised that Maxwell
risked returning to the United States. She was believed to be living in Paris. It was
well-known that the Justice Department was pursuing the case, including demands to interview
Prince Andrew.
Her arrest may be unnerving for figures like Prince Andrew. She would be the ultimate
cooperating witness if she decided to cooperate on broader criminal inquiries. Giuffre and
others have alleged that she was the primary procurer of young girls for Epstein to abuse.
Such prosecutions are not easy given the passage of time. However, the government clearly
has live witnesses like Giuffre who might have a significant impact on a jury. The government
would have to show more than her mere presence at these homes or parties.
Interestingly, Turley
notes that the improper role played by the Justice Department in the original Epstein case
deal may actually help it now with any prosecution of Maxwell.
"... Will we go from Epstein-gate, to Ukraine-gate, to Impeachment-gate, to Corona911-gate, to BLM-gate and now to Maxwell-gate – with perhaps a not so subtle attempt to piss all over Bill Clinton, since these alleged crimes were when he was commander in chief? ..."
"... This mean Maxwell can be jailed for contempt of court, should she continue to run and hide; that is: ignore court orders in this civil lawsuit. ..."
"... With today's jailing of her by the DOJ, on what looks like the same facts as in the civil case, [though it may not be; even if the 1994 to 1997 time period is the same] --- Maxwell's concerns about the civil case now pale in comparison with the new, criminal case against her. That is, assuming DOJ gets conviction. ..."
"... So one question I don't know answer to is: why did she remain in the US? ..."
"... We'll see if Maxwell-gate can trump BLM-gate, and all manner of other sorts of Hang Outs happening before our eyes. ..."
"... I am reminded of Don Corleone's speech: ..."
"... I'm a superstitious man, and if some unlucky accident should befall Michael - if he is to be shot in the head by a police officer, or be found hung dead in a jail cell... or if he should be struck by a bolt of lightning - then I'm going to blame some of the people in this room; and then I do not forgive. But with said, I pledge - on the souls of my grandchildren - that I will not be the one to break the peace that we have made today. ..."
Southern District of New York US Attorney Audrey Strauss says crimes they are prosecuting
are for years
1994 to 1997
Bill Clinton was president.
Don't laugh.
There is little information on how long the feds knew where she was, that they say was
Bedford, NH.
According to NYMAG.com: [["An eye was being kept" on Maxwell was about all that Audrey
Strauss]] said.
That is past tense, was being kept, assuming this is accurate information.
For how long, months, days, years, decades, all the way back to the 1970s?
CNN framed it this way:
[[FBI New York Assistant Director in Charge William Sweeney said that bureau officials "have
been discreetly keeping tabs" on Maxwell who had "slithered away to a gorgeous property" in
New Hampshire.
"We learned she had slithered away to a gorgeous property in New Hampshire, continuing to
live a live a life of privilege while her victims continue to live with the trauma inflicted
upon them years ago. We moved when we were ready and Ms. Maxwell was arrested without
incident," he said.
Sweeney said that the FBI, along with the NYPD, arrested Maxwell in Bradford, New
Hampshire, this morning without incident.
Audrey Strauss, acting US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, explained the
process that led to Maxwell's arrest: "an eye was being kept, and information was being
collected and then the indicted was just recently voted and filed and that is when we were
able and prepared to move to arrest her."
Sweeney said that indictment alleges that from 1994 until 1997, Maxwell assisted Epstein
in committing crimes against minors.]]
Strauss said and the indictment of Maxwell says, numerous times: 1994 to 1997 alleged
crimes, aiding and abetting Epstein.
What is interesting, at least to me, in a news report by The Guardian – this report
say that the DOJ said that Maxwell had the ability to get out of the US.
Which begs the questions: Then why the hell didn't she? The feds don't explain that
part.
The Guardian:
The sprawling property in Bradford where she was arrested was purchased
"through a carefully anonymized LLC", federal prosecutors said. Maxwell also has the money to flee if let out on bail, they maintained
Will we go from Epstein-gate, to Ukraine-gate, to Impeachment-gate, to Corona911-gate, to
BLM-gate and now to Maxwell-gate – with perhaps a not so subtle attempt to piss all
over Bill Clinton, since these alleged crimes were when he was commander in chief?
One other thing that may be related to the timing of this apprehension of her.
One of the alleged victims of Maxwell, who, according to a civil lawsuit filed against her
in federal court in January. . . well, there was a "tiny problem."
The lawyer for the plaintiff, a Jane Doe, who claims to have been a young teen –
when: "It all started in 1994 when 13-year-old Jane Doe met Epstein and Defendant Ghislaine
Maxwell at a summer camp in Michigan. . . ."
This civil complaint says: "In 1997, while at Epstein's townhouse on 9 East 71st Street in
the city of New York, Epstein asked the 17-year old Doe if she had a boyfriend. Doe replied
that she did not. Epstein responded that when she did have a boyfriend she would want the sex
to be 'good' and that she should 'get it over with already' meaning lose her virginity.
Despite Doe's resistance, Epstein then pushed Doe down onto her stomach and raped her. From
that point forward for several years in New York, Epstein raped Doe on multiple occasions.
During Doe's time in New York, Maxwell also regularly facilitated Epstein's abuse of Doe and
was frequently present when it occurred."
Any ways, the little problem was that: despite numerous times the Jane Doe lawyer tried to
serve Maxwell, many times, this lawyer always came up empty.
But on June 15, the presiding federal judge ruled that. . . that because of certain
judicial rules and because of the numerous attempts, the judge deemed that Maxwell had been
served.
Doe's lawyer, the judge ruled, had done enough to demonstrate service; and thus the
service attempts were deemed to have been "reasonably calculated to place Maxwell on notice
of this suit and to constitute sufficient service under the circumstances presented
here."
Thus Maxwell must respond, in a federal civil lawsuit brought by an alleged rape victim,
that this plaintiff claims the pair [her and Epstein] betook against her.
This mean Maxwell can be jailed for contempt of court, should she continue to run and
hide; that is: ignore court orders in this civil lawsuit.
With today's jailing of her by the DOJ, on what looks like the same facts as in the civil
case, [though it may not be; even if the 1994 to 1997 time period is the same] --- Maxwell's
concerns about the civil case now pale in comparison with the new, criminal case against her.
That is, assuming DOJ gets conviction.
The judge's June 15 order deeming her served in the civil case, however, meant that
Maxwell would have been facing jail if she failed to appear according to any court orders
requiring her to.
So one question I don't know answer to is: why did she remain in the US? [Or did she
actually flee, and we just ain't being told that? I D K]
Would no other country take her, did she attempt to leave and was rebuffed [by who?] or
did she want to stay here and take her chances, knowing that she could run, assuming she
tried to, that is; but could not hide forever?
We'll see if Maxwell-gate can trump BLM-gate, and all manner of other sorts of Hang Outs
happening before our eyes.
Lastly, I'm not saying it's a weak case; but, why her and why now, since they obviously
had no trouble locating her, assuming they did not always have tabs on Maxwell.
If anyone actually has an actual photo of her being taken out of her New Hampshire house,
I'd like to see them. For Roger Stone, we don't have to ask this question. Perhaps Judge Amy Berman should handle this case and/or share it with Judge Gilbert and
Sullivan.
The FBI already has all kinds of evidence on a lot of people from their raids on Epstein
residences. Now they just need Maxwell so they can squeeze her a little to tie up any loose
ends. She will then die and the loose ends will be taken care of and the democrat/globalists
will be safe from prosecution. FBI destroys some of the evidence they obtained and uses other
evidence against their enemies (e.g. Trump associates, democrats gone off the reservation,
like Dershowitz)
It seems likely to me that she was Epstein's Mossad controller. Walrus is right. It will
be difficult to keep her alive. Why she fled to NH escapes me so far.
Count Three in the indictment interests me, as it is the only one mentioning third party
defendants. If it wasn't for this I'd assume the whole thing was scoped so as to limit any
fallout beyond Ghislaine herself.
"GHISLAINE MAXWELL, the defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, and others known and unknown ,
willfully and knowingly did combine, conspire, confederate, and agree together and with each
other to commit an offense against the United States, to wit, transportation of minors, in
violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2423 (a)." (emphasis mine)
I'd like to hear Robert Willmann's view on the significance of this, combined with the
pertinence of the fact that the SDNY's Public Corruption Unit is handling the case.
This, combined with the fact that she was arrested in the US, is (as of the time of
writing) still alive and Barr's urgency in sacking Berman, gives me some hope that there is a
real intention to go after someone else, perhaps higher up the food chain (Wexner?). Have
Trump and Barr got a big surprise in store? I do hope so.
I had read somewhere that she believed that Mossad had killed her father, so she may not
have thought that Israel was a safer location.
Not sure. I don't think that she ever came out and openly accused Mossad of his death, but
I do believe she is on record as claiming that her father was assassinated.
As for "why now", it may simply be that it has taken this long to track down and seize all
the "insurance" documents that she had.
I certainly thought at the time that Epstein's days were numbered the moment the FBI
raided his Manhattan mansion, in the sense that that the raid was undertaken to seize that
all the videos and photos that he was relying on to keep himself safe.
Take those away from him = he is a goner.
The same may be true of this woman.
I do not know how reliable Ari Ben-Menashe is as a source, but, for what it is worth, he
claims that Mossad was not the Israeli agency for which Epstein and the Maxwells worked.
From an article last month by Elizabeth Vos in 'Consortium News':
'In an interview with Consortium News, former Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben-Menashe
said Epstein did not work with Mossad. "Military intelligence was who he was working with,"
said Ben-Menashe. "Big difference," he said. "He never worked with Mossad, and Robert Maxwell
never did, either. It was military intelligence."'
Be that as it may, it is not clear to me that Ghislaine Maxwell would have been any safer
in Israel than in the U.S. If she is prudent, she will have followed the example of the former NKVD 'Resident' in
Spain, Alexander Orlov. From his 'Wikipedia' entry:
'Meanwhile, the Great Purge continued as Stalin and his inner circle sought to exterminate
all suspected enemies of the people. Orlov was alerted as close associates and friends were
arrested, tortured and shot, one by one. In 1938, Orlov realised that he would soon be next.
When he received orders from Moscow to report to a Soviet ship in Antwerp, Orlov was certain
that he was about to be arrested. Instead of obeying, Orlov fled with his wife and daughter
to Canada.
'Before leaving Paris, Orlov left two letters for the Soviet Ambassador, one for Stalin
and one for NKVD chief Yezhov. He told them that he would reveal everything he knew about
NKVD operations if any action was taken against him or his family. In a two-page attachment,
Orlov listed the codenames of numerous illegals and moles operating in the West.'
I'm a superstitious man, and if some unlucky accident should befall Michael - if he is to
be shot in the head by a police officer, or be found hung dead in a jail cell... or if he
should be struck by a bolt of lightning - then I'm going to blame some of the people in
this room; and then I do not forgive. But with said, I pledge - on the souls of my
grandchildren - that I will not be the one to break the peace that we have made today.
Epstein may well have died thanks to his being insufficiently suspicious. If
Ghislaine Maxwell ever suffered from the same weakness, she must surely have been cured of it
by now.
It could well have been Israeli IDF intelligence that she, Epstein and her father worked
for. I knew these fellows well and the whole thing would have appealed to their sense of
humor.
The real story is how long Epstein's Mossad partner Maxwell lives before the contract on
her demise is fulfilled. Look how long Epstein lived in Federal custody. The clock is
ticking.

Both Epstein and his spotter were nothing more than consumables that thought they were
were players. I'm not sure what the tabloid interest in this pair of clowns is all about.
The question now is: How do they stop Ghislaine from testifying? Having her "commit
suicide" in her cell with all the cell block cameras off starts to look a little, I don't
know, "blatant", wouldn't one think?
Well, blatant is not a concept that the oligarch class actually feel any problem with.
The Maxwell trial will be a carefully choreographed nothing burger !
The delay in bringing her to justice, was so as to plan and negotiate the details. To the
satisfaction of all concerned.
Letting the likes of prince Andrew and Clinton's and Trump off the hook regarding any
incriminating evedence.
So who is running the show (answer) Israel and their lobby groups.
Q. What's on the table ? Power, money and territory! As always.
This is harvest time for Israel I'm afraid !
Both Epstein and his spotter were nothing more than consumables that thought they were were
players. I'm not sure what the tabloid interest in this pair of clowns is all about.
Ghislaine Maxwell and Les Wexner are the boss and Epstein was the CEO at their bidding.
Wexner GAVE Epstein the Manhatten apartment. That is a five story large building and it was
already fully fitted out with recording gear from the handover day. They don't come cheap.
This was one of the biggest, deliberate global entrapment rackets the world has seen.
Ghislaine was the handler and Wexner the financier and front man.
But I am just an observer and if you want the gritty stuff then tune in to Whitney Webb
and listen to her take on this. She has been revealing an immense amount of evidence and
links since Epstein was first arrested 3? years ago. I am about to do that myself.
I don't give a flat rock what the MSM thinks or does in this case.
The Maxwell trial for the show and the annexation in the background? With no cash allowed
to flow to the axis of resistance (no banks, no planes, no Gulf expats enabled to bring in
cash without the virus risk?).
The BBC article had an interesting snippet about Andrew, at the very end of the article:
"Asked about the prince on Thursday, acting Attorney Strauss said: "I am not going to comment
on anyone's status in this investigation but I will say that we would welcome Prince Andrew
coming in to talk with us, we would like to have the benefit of his statement."
A source close to Prince Andrew's lawyers told BBC News: "The Duke's team is bewildered by
the DoJ's [Department of Justice's] comments earlier today as we have twice reached out to
them in the last month and have received no reply.""
Note how the operatives avoid my inquiry as to who owned the safe house and/or how
Maxwell came to own it and who aided her in that endeavor? Now why would they avoid that
most important question and change the subject and surround the inquiry with distracting
nonsense? I'll let the few honest ones amongst you answer that question. It's an easy answer,
fyi. Hey Gruff, I see you.
Authorities said Thursday that Maxwell was caught at a 156-acre property in that town,
where land records list just one lot of that size, on East Washington Road.
"The defendant appears to have been hiding on a 156-acre property acquired in an
all-cash purchase in December 2019 (through a carefully anonymized LLC) in Bradford, New
Hampshire, an area to which she has no other known connections," said a court filing by
Manhattan federal prosecutors. An LLC is a limited liability corporation.
Other records show the buyer was Granite Reality LLC, whose listed manager is a Boston
lawyer named Jeffrey Roberts.
Roberts did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The web site of his firm,
Nutter McClennen & Fish, says that Roberts "chairs Nutter's Private Client Department
and serves as a member of the firm's Executive Committee."
"His broad-based practice consists of estate planning for high net worth individuals,"
among other areas, according to the web site. Nutter, whose spokeswoman did not immediately
respond to a request for comment, is located at the same Boston address as the mailing
address of the LLC that bought the property.
More on the Nutter Butter law firm that helped Maxwell purchase the New Hampshire
safe house. It has strong ties to Harvard. Epstein was in deep with the Harvard folks and the
Harvard folks, all Ivy League in fact, are in deep with the intelligence services. It's
important in the clandestine services to keep changing your name. Chinese Princelings, fyi,
prize a Harvard education. Gee, imagine that.
Nutter has deep roots in the Boston community. In 1879, a young Louis D. Brandeis founded
the firm with fellow Harvard alumnus Samuel D. Warren.
Although Brandeis would leave
private practice for the judiciary -- he was appointed to the United States Supreme Court
after 35 years at the firm -- Nutter has maintained its prestigious reputation through
multiple name changes.
Interesting history Browder has. I suspect he has a history with Putin before Putin became
President , but its hard to find anything on a connection. Anyways lots of interesting
connections, meaningful or not, I cant say.
[Hide MORE]
1985 - bugged version of PROMIS was sold for Soviet government use, with the media mogul
Robert Maxwell as a conduit.
1990 - just after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Browder found himself on assignment in
Poland for Boston Consulting Group. The government had begun privatizing state-owned
companies and selling their shares at ridiculously low valuations.
1991 - Anatoly Sobchak, a former law professor of Putin's at Leningrad State, became mayor
of Leningrad.* Sobchak hired Vladimir Putin, whom he had known when Putin worked at Leningrad
State. Putin was still on active reserve with the KGB.
Putin's tenure in Sobchak's office was so rife with scandal that it led to a host of
investigations into illegal assignment of licenses and contracts . Putin was head of the
Committee for Foreign Liaison; collaborated with criminal gangs in regulating gambling; a
money-laundering operation by the St. Petersburg Real Estate Holding Company, where Kumarin
was involved and Putin served on the advisory board; Putin's role in providing a monopoly for
the Petersburg Fuel Company, then controlled by the Tambov criminal organization; and much,
much more -- virtually all of which was whitewashed. While he was in St. Petersburg in the
nineties, Putin signed many hundreds of contracts doling out funds to his cronies.
1991 - November 5, Robert Maxwell, allegedly drowned after falling off his yacht in the
Canary Islands near the northwest coast of Africa. Billions were missing from his pension
funds
Maxwell's investment bankers included Salomon Brothers. Eventually, the pension funds were
replenished with monies from investment banks Shearson Lehman and Goldman Sachs, as well as
the British government.
It was March 1991 when William Browder went to work for British billionaire Robert Maxwell
as his "investment manager". Just how deep into the investment decisions of Maxwell did
Browder participate as an investment manager?
1991 November 10, Maxwell's funeral took place on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, the
resting place for the nation's most revered heroes. Prime Minister Shamir eulogized: "He has
done more Israel than can today be said."
1992 - Interestingly, after Maxwell died, Bill Browder went to work for the Salomon
Brothers in the middle of their own scandal. Browder was put in charge of the Russian
proprietary investments desk at Salomon Brothers. He was given 25 million to invest and used
it by paying cash for vouchers in Russian companies the government had issued to citizens ,
and used them to buy shared at public auction. In a short period he turned that into 125
million
The scandal at Salomon Brothers was the manipulation of the US Treasury auctions back
then.After that scandal where the government was threatening to shut down Salomon Brothers
who was the biggest bond dealer in the USA for manipulating markets, all of a sudden, people
from Goldman Sachs started taking posts in government.
1996-Browder left Salomon Brothers and with Edmond Safra founded Hermitage Capital
Management for the purpose of investing initial seed capital of $25 million in Russia during
the period of the mass privatization after the fall of the Soviet Union. Beny Steinmetz was
another of the original investors in Hermitage, the Israeli diamond billionaire.
Cyprus is a favorite place for Russian to launder money. Thats probably why Browder and
his accounting advisor Jamison Firestone chose it to launder Browder's Russian profits.
Browder from about 1997 to the mid-2000s used Cyprus shell companies to move money out of
Russia to cheat the country of multi-millions of dollars in taxes. He used the Russian shells
to invest in shares, including Gazprom shares that were illegal for foreigners to buy in
Russia, then moved the shares to Cyprus shells
1996 article entitled, "The Money Plane," published by New York Magazine detailed how the
"Russian mob gets a shipment of up to a billion dollars in fresh $100 bills," Edmond Safra's
bank, Republic National, was directly implicated.
Guess we know where Browder got the cash money to pay for the vouchers
1998 - If Salomon had not been merged with Travelers Group in 1997 (which owned retail
brokerage, Smith Barney), no doubt Salomon Brothers would have collapsed in the 1998
Long-Term Capital Management debacle created by one of their own – Salomons John
Meriwether.
Safra lost $1 billion in Russia during the 1998 Long-Term Capital Management crisis over
Russian bonds and investments which was why he put his bank, Republic National Bank, up for
sale to HSBC in 1999.
1999 - Following the Russian financial crisis of 1998, despite significant outflows from
the fund, Hermitage became a prominent shareholder in the Russian oil and gas. It was in 1999
when VSMPO-AVISMA Corporation (Russian:
ВСМПО-АВИСМА) – the
world's largest titanium producer - filed a RICO lawsuit against Browder and other Avisma
investors including Kenneth Dart, alleging they illegally siphoned company assets into
offshore accounts and then transferred the funds to U.S. accounts at Barclays.
Browder and his co-defendants settled with Avisma in 2000; they sold their Avisma shares
as part of the confidential settlement agreement.
1999 - Republican National Bank was owned by Safra . On May 11, HSBC, announced a $10.3
billion deal to purchase Edmond Safra's holdings including the Republic National Bank of New
York and Safra's shares in Bill Browder's firm, Hermitage Capital. The announcement came only
nine months after Russia's economy collapsed and Browder's clients, lost over $900 million.
It was also nine months after $4.8 billion in IMF funds was deposited in an undisclosed
account at Safra's bank and well before the public became aware that that same money was
dispersed and stolen through the Bank of New York, off-shore companies, and foreign financial
institutions.
HSBC then became Browders partner of the Heritage Fund . Browder's shell companies were
registered in Cyprus but owned by HSBC (Guernsey) as the trustee for his Hermitage Capital
Management.
Cypriot shells Glendora and Kone were part of his offshore network "owned" by an HSBC
Private Bank Guernsey Ltd trust. The real owner was Browder's Hermitage Fund. Assets (stocks
and money) went from Russia to Cyprus and then to parts unknown.
Republic International Trust, registered by Mossack Fonseca of Panama Papers fame and
listed on the Glendora document, was in the offshore network of Republic National Bank owner
Edmond Safra, an early investor who then held 51% of Hermitage Fund shares.
1999 December 3 - Safra was killed in suspicious fire that broke out in his Monte Carlo
home. Although some believe that Safra was killed by the Russian mafia, Lurie reported that a
Swiss prosecutor investigating the missing IMF money believed that Safra was killed "because
of his revelations to the FBI and the Swiss Prosecutor's Office investigating the
disappearance and laundering of $4.8 billion of the IMF stablilization loan." One of the more
interesting things to note here is that the prosecutor implied that Safra not only spoke with
the FBI about the missing IMF funds but with Swiss authorities as well.
Funny how Browders bosses/partners get killed
1999 - the bombings that killed nearly three hundred innocent Russians were likely the
product of a "false flag" operation that enabled Putin to consolidate power.
Putin promised to stop the plundering of the Russian state by rich oligarchs. But very few
Russians knew that Putin had been a primary actor in the same kind of activity in St.
Petersburg. And as for cleaning up corruption, one of Putin's first acts as president was to
pardon Boris Yeltsin, thereby guaranteeing immunity from prosecution to the outgoing
president.-
Putin recruited two oligarchs who were among his closest confidants, Roman Abramovich and
Lev Leviev, to undertake the highly unlikely mission of creating a new religious organization
called the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia under the leadership of Rabbi Berel
Lazar, a leader in the Hasidic movement called Chabad-Lubavitch.
Founded in the late eighteenth century, the tiny, Brooklyn-based Chabad-Lubavitcher
movement is a fundamentalist Hasidic sect centered on the teaching of the late Rabbi Menachem
Schneerson, who is sometimes referred to as a messiah -- moshiach -- a savior and liberator
of the Jewish people. It is antiabortion, views homosexuality as a perversion, and often
aligns itself politically with other fundamentalist groups on the right.
Its biggest donors included Leviev, an Israeli billionaire who was an Uzbek native and was
known as the "King of Diamonds" thanks to his success in the diamond trade, and Charles
Kushner, an American real estate developer who was later jailed for illegal campaign
contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering. Kushner is also the father of Jared
Kushner, who married Donald Trump's daughter, Ivanka, and later became a senior adviser to
President Trump. Leviev's friendship with Lazar dates back to 1992 and, according to Haaretz,
made Leviev "the most influential, most active and most connected person in the Jewish
community of Russia and made Lazar the country's chief rabbi."
Roman Abramovich, controlled the trading arm of one of Russia's largest oil companies
through an Isle of Man company that had figured in the Bank of New York affair. Mr.
Abramovich ran the Siberian oil giant Sibneft, which sold its oil through a company called
Runicom.
His name emerged after speculation that Swiss investigators were looking into the role of
Runicom as part of the widening investigation into the laundering of up to $15 billion of
Russian money through American banks. Runicom is owned by at least two offshore companies set
up by the Valmet Group, a financial services concern partly owned by Menatep, a failed
Russian bank that used the Bank of New York."
2001- Salomon Brothers Building (WTC 7) collapses. Tenants include the Department of
Defense, the Secret Service, the IRS, and the Securities and Exchange Commission
2005 - Steinmetz of Browders Heritage Fund teamed up with another diamond magnate, Putins
buddy Lev Leviev, to purchase the top ten floors of Israel's Diamond Tower which also houses
the Israeli Diamond Exchange. Haaretz.com reported that "the buyers intend to build a
connector from the 10 floors – the top 10 floors of the building – to the diamond
exchange itself in order to benefit from the security regime of the other offices within the
exchange." And benefit they did.
According to one website reporting on a Channel 10 (Israel) news story, from 2005 –
2011, an "underground" bank was set up to provide "loans to firms using money taken from
other companies while pretending it was legally buying and selling diamonds." The bank
apparently washed over $100 million in illicit funds over the course of six years and both
Steinmetz and Leviev were directly implicated as "customers" of the bank but Neither of them
were charged in the case.
Then there's HSBC's involvement in the diamond industry and Leviev's ties not only to arms
dealer Arcadi Gaydamak via Africa-Israeli Investments but Roman Abramovich and Kushner
2007 - Browders Hermitage Capital Management, was raided by Russian interior ministry
officers, who confiscated stamps and documents. These were then used to file bogus tax
returns to the Russian Treasury, which were paid out to bank accounts controlled by Klyuev
and his associates, according to the U.S. government.
Browder claimed Organized crime carried out the tax refund fraud against the Russian
Treasury under which criminals used collusive lawsuits to fake damages and get refunds of
company taxes. The tax refund fraud using Browder's companies netted $230 million.
2008 - HSBC (Guersey) director Paul Wrench filed a complaint about the tax refund fraud in
July on behalf of Hermitage (after Starova's complaints) .
Maginitsky was arrested for being the accountant (not a lawyer) of Browder's tax evasion
schemes.
2008 - A lawsuit alleged Bayrock's projected profits were "to be laundered, untaxed
through a sham Delaware entity" to the FL Group, Iceland's largest private investment fund,
the first major firm to collapse in 2008 when Iceland's financial bubble burst, and a favored
financial instrument for loans to Russia-connected oligarchs who were, court papers claim, in
favor with Vladimir Putin. According to Bloomberg, Eva Joly, who assisted Iceland's special
prosecutor in the investigation of the financial collapse, said, "There was a huge amount of
money that came into these banks that wasn't entirely explained by central bank lending. Only
Mafia-like groups fill a gap like that."
Another significant Bayrock partner, the Sapir Organization, had, through its principal,
Tamir Sapir, a long business relationship with Semyon Kislin, the commodities trader who was
tied to the Chernoy brothers and, according to the FBI, to Vyacheslav Ivankov's gang in
Brighton Beach.
In addition to being wired into the Kremlin, Sapir's son-in-law, Rotem Rosen, was a
supporter of Chabad along with Sater, Sapir, and others at Bayrock, and, as a result, was
part of an extraordinarily powerful channel between Trump and Putin. After all, the ascent of
Chabad in Russia had been part of Putin's plan to replace older Jewish institutions in Russia
with corresponding organizations that were loyal to him.
The biggest contributor to Chabad in the world was Leviev, the billionaire "King of
Diamonds" who had a direct line to Rabbi Berel Lazar, aka "Putin's rabbi," to Donald Trump,
and to Putin himself dating back to the Russian leader's early days in St. Petersburg.
Indeed, one of the biggest contributors to Chabad of Port Washington, Long Island, was
Bayrock founder Tevfik Arif, a Kazakh-born Turk with a Muslim name who was not Jewish, but
nonetheless won entry into its Chai Circle as a top donor.
2013-The Hermitage Fund, an HSBC-backed vehicle that invested in Russia and became
embroiled in a diplomatic war with the Kremlin over the death of one of its accountants,
closes down..
2014, Vekselberg's Renova Group became a partner with Wilbur Ross in the takeover of the
Bank of Cyprus, which had held billions in deposits from wealthy Russians.
Back in early 90's Trump found himself in financial trouble when his three casinos in
Atlantic City were under foreclosure threat from lenders. He was bailed-out by senior
managing director of N.M. Rothschild & Sons, Wilbur Ross, who Trump would later appoint
as Secretary of Commerce. Ross, who is known as the "King of Bankruptcy," specializes in
leveraged buyouts of distressed businesses.
Along with Blackstones Carl Icahn, Ross convinced bondholders to strike a deal with Trump
that allowed Trump to keep control of the casinos.
By the mid-1990s, Ross was a prominent figure in New York Democratic Party politics and
had caught the attention President Bill Clinton who appointed him to lead the U.S.-Russia
Investment Fund.
2015 - Donald Trump, after emerging from a decade of litigation, multiple bankruptcies,
and $ 4 billion in debt, had risen from the near-dead with the help of Bayrock and its
alleged ties to Russian intelligence and the Russian Mafia. "They saved his bacon," said
Kenneth McCallion, a former federal prosecutor
2015 - Kushner paid $295 million for some of the floors in the old New York Times
building, purchased in 2015 from the US branch of Israeli-Russian oligarch Leviev's company,
Africa Israel Investments (AFI), and partner, Five Mile Capital.
Kushner later borrowed $285 million from the German financial company Deutsche Bank, which
has also been linked to Russian money laundering,
Jared and Ivanka were also close to another of Putins oligarchs, Roman Abramovich and his
wife, Dasha Zhukova.
2015-While Wilbur Ross served as vice-chairman of the Bank of Cyprus, the bank's
Russia-based businesses were sold to a Russian banker and consultant, Artem Avetisyan, who
had ties to both the Russian president and Russia's largest bank, Sberbank. At the time,
Sberbank was under US and EU sanctions following Russia's annexation of Crimea.
Avetisyan had earlier been selected by Putin to head a new business branch of the Russian
president's strategic initiative agency, which was tasked with improving business and
government ties.
Avetisyan's business partner, Oleg Gref, is the son of Herman Gref, Sberbank's chief
executive officer, and their consultancy has served as a "partner" to Sberbank, according to
their website. Ross had described the Russian businesses – including 120 bank branches
in Russia – as being worth "hundreds of millions of euros" in 2014 but they were sold
with other assets to Avetisyan for €7m (£6m).
Ross resigned from the Bank of Cyprus board after he was confirmed as commerce secretary
in 2017
2018 - Cyprus suspended cooperation with Russia, which had been seeking assistance from
the government in Moscow's alleged case of tax evasion against Hermitage Capital Founder Bill
Browder.
There is an interesting connection between Bill Bowder, Robert Maxwell, Bill Clinton, Jeffrey
Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and others. They are all members of "CLUB"
There are many more revealing articles on Martin Armstrong's blog. Browder is one of the
biggest scumbags to ever walk on this earth. He is trying to start a war against Russia
– because they took away some of the things he had stolen. An absolute arsehole.
Ben Cardin must feel like a schmuck given Ben Bidder's exposé in the Der Spiegel but
having suborned the late drama queen Johnny McCain in supporting him in his efforts to
protect a fellow tribesman, the noodge won't make any effort to rescind the illicit bill now
that's the power of corruption!
@Saggy Many thanks for posting this. Halfway through the film I began to suspect that
Browder had Magnitsky killed: "Dead Men Tell No Tales", and an accountant can tell very
important tales for the procecution. I had no idea that several guys connected with Browder
shell companies convienently turned up dead. Looks like the "cleanup" scenes in Scorcese's
"Casino".
1/2 Having now read the SDNY indictment of Ghislaine Maxwell, one thing stands out. The
charges are mainly for enticing minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts specifically
w Epstein and there is also a perjury charge ....
2/2 However, the indictment says Maxwell herself sexually abused the victims but
WASN'T charged for that. In other words, they admit that she sexually assaulted minors but
is only charged her for enticing minors to travel for abuse by Epstein, NOT her. Slap on
the wrist incoming

Now trending on twitter: #Ghislanemaxwelldidntkillherself
Well Ghislaine Maxwell could have hidden in Salisbury UK with all those spooks about. She has UK citizenship so maybe a prisoner exchange for Julian Assange is possible. Mind you the englanders do like their torture toys.
But where is Les Wexner, the chief, the founder of this racket. For that matter where are the Awan family spy and blackmail gang?
"... Civil lawsuits have accused Ms. Maxwell of managing a network of recruiters that Mr. Epstein relied on to entice young and often financially strapped girls and women into his scheme, promising he would help them with their education and careers. ..."
Ghislaine Maxwell, Associate of Jeffrey Epstein, Is Arrested Nicole Hong, Benjamin
Weiser and Mihir Zaveri 6 hrs ago
Ghislaine
Maxwell , the former girlfriend and longtime associate of the disgraced financier Jeffrey
Epstein, was arrested Thursday in New Hampshire on criminal charges linked to his alleged
sex-trafficking operation, according to a law enforcement official.
Ms. Maxwell was accused in an indictment of recruiting and grooming "multiple" girls,
including one as young as 14, for Mr. Epstein, who sexually abused them. She also faces perjury
charges.
The arrest came nearly a year after Mr. Epstein was charged in a federal
indictment with sexually exploiting and abusing dozens of underage girls at his mansion in
Manhattan, his estate in Palm Beach, Fla. and other locations between at least 2002 and
2005.
The indictment said he paid the girls to give him massages while they were nude or topless,
in encounters that typically included sex acts.
Mr. Epstein hanged himself in
August in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Lower Manhattan, where he was
jailed pending trial on the federal sex-trafficking charges.
Ms. Maxwell, a longtime confidante and companion of Mr. Epstein's, had for years been
accused of
helping to procure and groom young girls for the financier, including instructing them on
how to pleasure Mr. Epstein sexually.
The daughter of the British publishing magnate Robert Maxwell, Ms. Maxwell also helped
manage Mr. Epstein's properties and introduced him to the high-profile celebrities and business
executives who would form his social circle.
Civil lawsuits have
accused Ms. Maxwell of managing a network of recruiters that Mr. Epstein relied on to
entice young and often financially strapped girls and women into his scheme, promising he would
help them with their education and careers.
"They were like partners in a business," Mr. Epstein's house manager, Janusz Banasiak, said
in a deposition.
"She orchestrated the whole thing for Jeffrey," one of Mr. Epstein's accusers, Sarah
Ransome, who sued him in 2017, told The New York Times in an interview.
The new federal indictment, unsealed on Thursday, charged Ms. Maxwell with six counts:
enticing minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, transportation of a minor with intent
to engage in sexual activity, two conspiracy counts related to those charges and two counts of
perjury.
The indictment described three instances between 1994 and 1997 of Ms. Maxwell befriending
girls, taking them shopping and to the movies. After establishing a rapport with them, Ms.
Maxwell would "normalize sexual abuse" by undressing in front of the girls or talking about
sexual topics, the indictment claimed.
Mr. Epstein would then abuse the girls in various residences and other locations in New
York, New Mexico, Florida and London, according to the indictment.
Jeffrey Pagliuca, who has been a lawyer for Ms. Maxwell, did not immediately respond to a
request for comment.

Prince Andrew's life has been torn asunder by the fallout of his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein – triggering a
stalemate with the US Justice Department which threatens the reputation of the entire British royal family. This Sky
News Australia special investigation probes their friendship and brings you that latest in the royal scandal which
has gripped the world.
The title says: Ghislaine Maxwell lives in a very luxury appartment in Paris,at a few
minutes distance from both the 8.6 million dollars Epstein property and its neighbour the
Israeli Embassy.
International criminals usually live in Paris,where Interpol always looks on the wrong
side,inspector Clouseau heads it.
NEW: Alan Dershowitz's attorney confirms that his client has access to Virginia
Giuffre's sealed depositions. Those depositions reveal that she was directed by Jeffrey
Epstein to have sex with former Israeli PM Ehud Barak & Victoria's Secret's Les
Wexner.
Two new documentaries on the Jeffery Epstein affair delve into lurid details & give
voice to his victims, but both scratch the surface of the political & intelligence
dimensions of the scandal...
Authored by Elizabeth Vos via ConsortiumNews.com,
Investigation
Discovery premiered a three-hour special, "Who Killed Jeffrey Epstein?" on May 31, the
first segment in a three-part series, that focused on Epstein's August 2019 death in federal
custody. The series addresses Epstein's alleged co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, his links
with billionaire Leslie Wexner, founder of the Victoria Secrets clothing line, and others, as
well as the non-prosecution deal he was given.
The special followed on the heels of Netflix's release of " Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich ," a mini-series that
draws on a book of the same name by James Patterson.
Promotional material for "Who Killed Jeffery Epstein?" promises that: " exclusive interviews
and in-depth investigations reveal new clues about his seedy underworld, privileged life and
controversial death. The three-hour special looks to answer the questions surrounding the death
of this enigmatic figure." Netflix billed its series this way: "Stories from survivors fuel
this docuseries examining how convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein used his wealth and power
to carry out his abuses."
Neither documentary however deals at all with Epstein's suspected ties to the world of
intelligence.
Absent from both are Maxwell's reported links to Israeli intelligence through her father, Robert Maxwell
, former owner of The New York Daily News and The Mirror newspaper in London. Maxwell
essentially received a state funeral in Israel and was buried on the Mount of Olives after he
mysteriously fell off his yacht in 1991 in the Atlantic Ocean.
Ari Ben-Menashe. (From his memoir, "Profits of War")
In an interview with Consortium News , former Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben-Menashe
said Epstein did not work with Mossad. "Military intelligence was who he was working with,"
said Ben-Menashe. "Big difference," he said. "He never worked with Mossad, and Robert Maxwell
never did, either. It was military intelligence."
Ben-Menashe claimed Robert Maxwell was Epstein's "tie over. Robert Maxwell was the conduit
[in the Iran-Contra scandal]. The financial conduit."
In " Epstein: Dead Men Tell No
Tales ," a book published in December, Ben-Menashe is quoted as saying he worked with
Robert Maxwell who introduced his daughter and Epstein to Israeli intelligence, after which
they engaged in a blackmail operation for Israel. "[Epstein] was taking photos of politicians
f**king fourteen-year-old girls -- if you want to get it straight. They [Epstein and Maxwell]
would just blackmail people, they would just blackmail people like that," he says in the
book.
Ben-Menashe also claims that Robert Maxwell had attempted to blackmail Mossad. "He really
lost his compass once he started playing these games with people," he told Consortium
News.
Prince Andrew

About a week after both documentaries premiered, the U.S. Department of Justice approached
the U.K.'s Home Office requesting that Prince Andrew answer questions in the U.K. over his
links to Epstein, The
Mirror reported. If he refuses, the paper said, U.S. prosecutors would ask that he be
brought to a British court to respond to their questions. Andrew's lawyers say he three times
agreed to be questioned by U.S. authorities, but it is not known if Andrew attached conditions,
such as immunity.
Both documentaries mention Prince Andrew in the context of allegations about him from one of
Epstein's victims, Virginia Roberts Giuffre. But neither film goes into much detail about
Andrew's role in the Epstein operation, which Ben-Menashe said, was to lure powerful men into
Epstein's orbit.
"One of the things that are really key to this is that he [Epstein] befriended a very useful
idiot called Prince Andrew," Ben-Menashe told CN . "Now what really happened was that this
Prince Andrew, with nothing to do, was having fun with this, and Prince Andrew brings in the
fancy people, invites them to play golf with him, and then takes them out for fun. Then Epstein
shows up, and these people are basically blackmailed."
"The only person that can talk, that probably knows quite a bit, is the great prince,"
Ben-Menashe said. "He was with him [Epstein] all the time. I really don't know what his future
is going to be like, either."
Since a number of influential figures were named in a lawsuit filed by Giuffre against
Ghislaine Maxwell the day before Epstein was found dead in his federal prison cell in New York,
Ben-Menashe said: "I'm starting to think that lawsuit was his death sentence, because people
didn't want to be named. That's my guess, it's just a guess. Obviously, somebody decided that
he had to go."
Epstein's death was
ruled a "suicide" by New York's chief medical examiner. A pathologist hired by Epstein's
brother
said it was homicide.
An Angry Call
Just before Ben-Menashe spoke to Consortium News on Monday, he said he had received an angry
telephone call from Israel's Channel 13 television station.
"They called me, and they went wild: 'What, you believe Israel would use little girls? You
are saying that? You are insulting the nation, you are making us anathema around the world.' I
said, 'The truth is the truth.' And Jeffrey Epstein's story is something that nobody wanted to
hear. He was working with the Israelis, he was working with Maxwell," Ben-Menashe said.
He added: "It's a very bad story, and I can see why the Israelis are so concerned about it.
I believe [Channel 13] were expressing anger, and I believe this was a message. I don't like
messages like that it has to do with the timing and these stories coming out about Epstein.
They [Israel] are starting to become anathema to the world, this adds to it -- the Epstein
story."
Victims' Voices
The Netflix and Investigation Discovery productions allow survivors to recount their
experiences in interviews as well as taped police recordings and focus on the sweetheart plea
deal provided to Epstein by former Trump Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta during Acosta's
tenure as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida.
Each series outlines Epstein's relationships with Wexner, Maxwell, and a variety of elite
figures. Investigation Discovery focuses on the controversy surrounding Epstein's death while
Netflix's "Filthy Rich" examines the second attempt to prosecute Epstein in the context of the
Me Too movement.
The Netflix series describes the initial investigation of Epstein as it shifted from the
state to the federal level, and airs allegations that Florida journalists covering the story
were threatened. Netflix also interviews psychologist Dr. Kathryn Stamoulis, a specialist in
adolescent sexuality, who gives a description of Epstein's targeting and grooming of young
girls. Epstein survivor Giuffre later describes in the film being groomed to tolerate
exploitation and sex trafficking as part of a "deranged family."
The final section of the fourth episode in Netflix's miniseries includes a survivor stating
that this was not simply an Epstein operation, but an "international sex trafficking ring that
reached all over the world." Epstein is described as a "very small piece in a huge network."
But the documentary goes no further than that.
As in
the Belgian Dutroux case , victims alleged that multiple abusers acted in concert with each
other, using blackmail to keep each other in line. In both instances, authorities and the media
portrayed the abuse as chiefly the product of an aberrant lone predator.
"This wouldn't be the only time this happened, but this guy got way over his head,"
Ben-Menashe told Consortium News . "He probably was blackmailing too many people, too many
powerful people. And then, this is a story the Israelis wouldn't want to come out, anyway."
Thriving in Murky Waters
Another angle the documentaries did not approach was the environment in which Epstein
thrived like an algae bloom in stagnant water, that is, within a long history of child
trafficking rings linked with intelligence agencies , often with the aim of gathering
blackmail material. It was within this reality that Epstein appeared to be rendered
untouchable.
Omitting the intelligence aspect of Epstein's history allows the Establishment media to
portray his case as a mysterious and unsolvable aberration, rather than perhaps a continuation
of business-as-usual amongst those in power.
The glaring refusal to address Epstein's intelligence involvement becomes clear when
Investigation Discovery and Netflix's programs discuss the role of Acosta in securing Epstein's
"sweetheart" plea deal, but do not reference Acosta's widely reported explanation as to why
Acosta agreed to the deal. As reported by The
Daily Beast , Acosta claimed that he cut the non-prosecution deal because he had been told
that "Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to leave it alone."
Independent journalist Whitney Webb has reported on Epstein's many ties with intelligence , telling CNLive! in August last year
that there is evidence this included with the CIA.
Webb spoke about
Iran-Contra links to Epstein via his and billionaire Wexner's efforts to relocate Southern Air
Transport (formerly the CIA's Air America) from Florida to Ohio: "What's significant here is
that out of all the airlines in the United States, Wexner and Epstein choose the airline, the
only airline that is outed, publicly known at the time, to be a CIA cut-out. Out of all the
airlines that exist, that's the one they go for," she said.
Webb also cited reporting by Nigel Rosser, a British journalist, who wrote in the Evening
Standard in 2001 that Epstein claimed he worked for the CIA in the 1990s.
Lip Service
Investigation Discovery and Netflix give lip service to Wexner's ties with Epstein, omitting
that Wexner gave Epstein the largest private residence in New York City -- essentially
for free . Investigation Discovery does
not mention that the residence was extensively wired with surveillance equipment, per Webb and The New York Times .
"James Patterson, before writing his book on Epstein, 'Filthy Rich,' on which this
documentary [by Netflix] is based,
wrote a novel ['The President is Missing'] with Bill Clinton , who is of course quite close
to the Epstein scandal, so that definitely, in my opinion, raises some eyebrows," Webb told
Consortium News.
"I think that one of the goals of this [Netflix] documentary is to basically imply that
Epstein was the head of the operation and that now that he is dead, all of that activity has
ceased," Webb said. "If they had actually bothered to explore the intelligence angle, in some
of the more obvious facts about the case, like Leslie Wexner's role, for example, it becomes
clear that Epstein was really just more of a manager of this type of operation, [and] that
these activities continue."
Webb said a main reason for avoiding discussion of the intelligence angle is that mention of
state sponsorship would lead to calls for accountability and open inquiry into a history of
sexual blackmail by intelligence agencies. "So if they had given even superficial treatment of
those ties, it would have exposed threads that if anyone had bothered to pull on a little bit,
would start to unravel a lot of things that obviously these powerful people and institutions
don't want exposed," Webb said.
More than nine months since Epstein's death, no alleged Epstein co-conspirator has been
arrested or charged with a crime despite reports of an active criminal investigation of Maxwell
(who has disappeared), and multiple failed
attempts of alleged Epstein victims to serve her with civil suits.
"The criminal case against him, and all the evidence that was gathered against him as part
of that, will never be made public unless someone else is charged," said Webb. "So, the fact
that they're not charging anyone else is quite telling, and the fact that the mainstream media
isn't pushing back against that, I think is telling as well."
The omissions of major aspects of the Epstein case by the media, specifically its links with
the intelligence community, seems to be yet another example of a buffer between justice and
those responsible for rendering Epstein untouchable.
Why
is the FBI focusing on foriegn nationals instead of the numerous AMERICAN politicians involved with Epstein? It's like the FBI
has a long history of not having any interest in holding the Clintons accountable....
Shouldn't the FBI be hounding their own American "elites" as well? Why the studious silence by the US alphabet soup agencies
on Maxwell and her whereabouts? Why have the Clintons and Dershowitz and even Trump been handled with kid gloves in this case?
Or what about Bill Gates? By all means, put pressure on Prince Andrew, but it's the lack of consistency in the manner in which
US authorities have been handling this from the get go that piques my ire. It's as if Andrew is being used as a sacrificial
scapegoat to deflect attention away from America's own very, very, long list of Epstein and Maxwell's "clients"... many of
them serious power-players with incredible influence. How typical of the monumental hypocrisy and double standards which have
become the "stock in trade" of the US empire.
There are no conspiracy theories around Epstein's case, just obvious facts. A group of the richest people share same sexual
appetite for kids. And justice department will not do anything about it.
Why have I known about Clinton for so long? I can't even remember when I first heard that Clinton was on the island and
the Lolita express? I thought it was public knowledge.
And now there is the Epstein matter, which threatens not only former president Bill Clinton,
but a cosmos of political, financial, and entertainment "stars" in countless ugly incidents
that involve a kind of personal corruption that has no political context but says an awful lot
about the obliteration of moral and ethical boundaries by the people who ended up running
things in this fretful moment of US history.
@Alfa158 It won't
work though. There isn't a significant generation of 'hyper-competent' people amidst a
suppressed populace. Instead you get idiocracy, where even the elites show signs of mental
impairment, increasingly as time goes by. The Romans were rendered idiotic by arbitrary and
ruthless imperial autocracy, which scythed through families and ancient clans, leaving only
careerist slaves in its wake.
Eventually even the emperors were idiots. Some of them think they can compartmentalize
competencies, so you see these absolutely castrated and chemically autistic nerds working the
buttons in technical academia. You can produce bureaucrats of technocracy this way, but
nothing much new will come of it.
Elon Musk is not the most competent. He is the scion of a diamond magnate family if I'm
not mistaken. He is a silly man, nothing against him, but most of us don't admire him
all.
We feel sorry for people that have this kind of cultish infatuation with the man, his
golf-carts, and space-rockets. He is complete with our own Marie Antoinette, Grimes, each an
absolute clown, clown royals for a clown society. Idiocracy.
Hilarious to see Alex Jones pimping him as like a new Howard Hughes. Most of the alt press
is fizzled, co-opted or neutralized in some way. Infatuation with big, great people, heroes
from the heavens of the stars, is a pathology, whether it's directed at Trump or Bernie or
whoever.
People need to cultivate the hero within, and generate the ground level sovereignty that
could restore (from the earth and man up) a free republic. There are a lot of authority
figures from the deathstar on Youtube telling us how they are patriots and are fighting back.
May be. Could also be the enemy fucking with us. Really no way to know, which again, is a
motivating factor for de-centralization and vesting sovereignty into free men, free
communities, and up. The federal entity is necessary, but cannot hover self-sufficiently over
a devastated (by corporate dictat -- for human resource extraction) populace. If the states
withdraw their channeled sovereignty from the federal entity, it should collapse. Otherwise
it is a foreign entity. To the extent we are ruled by a tiny cabal of vampires, we lose
justification for the belief that our rulers are ours at all. Such an arrangement of power
presents an attractive target (minimal points of failure) for a strategic adversarial
compromise.
One reason I don't want people being anti-antifa, is I understand most of those people
just want local self-governance. Food-not-bombs people mostly just want to have a nice little
community garden and not be turned into slaves by the system. These are the 'anarchists'.
I've met them, mostly they are not so bad. It's a lot of divide-and-conquer going on.
Apologies for the stream-of-consciousness; I've posted some of this before, just pounding
on the nail.
I watched all of the Netflix series on Epstein-- "Filthy Rich" last night. I'd be interested
in others' perspectives.
It focused on the victims' stories, did a good job on revealing how young, poor girls who
are psychologically scarred through family breakdowns, predatory adults and neglect are then
easily exploited during their teen years by sociopaths.Very revealing.
However, there was not one mention of Israel. Whitney Webb's work including her recent
interviews with Maria Farmer are essential:
@botazefa Well one of the problems with that would be, David icke said for decades that
Jimmy saville was a pedophile, the BBC said he was crazy , bit when Jimmy died in 2011, we
found out he had hundreds if not thousands of victims, and people turned a blind eye for
years just like rotherdam. He preyed on the extremely young, kids in hospitals, the mentally
challenged, and even their corpses.
He was similar to dick Clark, except much more powerful, was knighted, had Christmas with the
queen every year, was friends with the Beatles, and very Rich , despite no real large known
sources of income ( procuring children for elites)
The sex pistols in I believe 1972, were banned from the BBC supposedly for saying
something about the queen, but in reality it was because they kept insisting that Jimmy
saville was a pedophile.( Think about that notorious punk band standing up for kids, much
more forcefully than the British government has in recent memory.)
One of the director generals of the BBC , that had news stories about savile quashed
repeatedly( ala Epstein) mark Thompson , is the current head/ CEO of the new York times.
David icke was one of the few and the proud who said for years and years Savile was a pedo,
that had state protection. Does that mean I think we are controlled by shape shifting lizard
elites? Certainly not.
But just because somebody is wrong on one issue, does not automatically disqualify them on
every issue, a broke clock is right twice a day after all, but moreover a persons willingness
and ability to endure ridicule to say what they believe is commendable and a signal they
refuse to compromise. David icke and the sex pistols tried to protect kids, the BBC played
the fiddle while Rome burned. Also I consider it possible Icke said the lizard stuff to
render himself s laughing stock, so they didn't feel it necessary to kill him. Check out his
book , everything you need to know, and try and tell me with a straight face , the man is not
brilliant.
NTM is you are at all aware of Bayesian ( the absolute best way to make predictions, says
anyone with a working brain)reasoning you realize that one single data point can serve to
discredit someone's other opinions, very significantly, but never all the way to zero.
Be well,remember to keep an open mind, and have a great day.

newspaper article on Epstein said that Epstein made millions from his business links with Gates

Even though distracted by the havoc resulting from the coronavirus, the United States and
much of Europe is engaged in a frenzied search for anti-Semitism and anti-Semites so that what
the media and chattering class are regarding as the greatest of all crimes and criminals can
finally be extirpated completely. To be sure, there have recently been some horrific instances
of ethnically or religiously motivated attacks on synagogues and individual Jews, but, as is
often the case, however, quite a lot of the story is either pure spin or politically motivated.
A Jewish student walking on a college campus who walks by protesters objecting to Israel's
behavior can claim to feel threatened and the incident is recorded as anti-Semitism, for
example, and slurs written on the sides of buildings or grave stones, not necessarily the work
of Jew-haters, are similarly categorized. In
one case in Israel in 2017, the two street swastika artists were Jews.
Weaponizing one point of view inevitably limits the ability of contrary views to be heard.
The downside is, of course, that the frenzy that has resulted in the criminalization of free
expression relating in any but a positive way to the activity of Jewish groups. It has also
included the acceptance of the dishonest definition that any criticism of Israel is ipso facto
anti-Semitism, giving that nation a carte blanche in terms of its brutal treatment of its
neighbors and even of its non-Jewish citizens.
Jewish dominated Hollywood and the entertainment media have helped to create the
anti-Semitism frenzy and continue to give the public regular doses of the holocaust story.
Currently there are a number of television shows that depict in one form or another the
persecution of Jews. Hunters on Amazon is about Jewish Americans tracking and killing
suspected former Nazis living in New York City in the 1970s. The Plot to Destroy
America on HBO is a retro history tale about how a Charles Lindbergh/Henry Ford regime
installs a fascist government in the 1930s. One critic describes
the televisual revenge feast "as one paranoid Jewish fantasy after another advocating murder as
the solution to what they perceive as the problem of anti-Semitism."
But, as always, nothing is quite so simple as such a black and white portrayal where there
are evil Nazis and Jewish victims who are always justified when they seek revenge. First of
all, as has been demonstrated ,
many recent so-called anti-Semitic attacks on Jews involve easily recognizable Hasidic Jews and
are actually based on community tensions as established neighborhoods are experiencing dramatic
changes with the newcomers using pressure tactics to force out existing residents. And after
the Hasidim take over a town or neighborhood, they defund local schools to support their own
private academies and frequently engage in large scale welfare and other social services fraud
to permit them to spend all their days studying the Talmud, which, inter alia teaches
that gentiles are no better than beasts fit only to serve Jews.
The recent concentration of coronavirus in Orthodox neighborhoods in New York as well as the
eruption of measles cases last year have been attributed to the unwillingness of some
conservative Jews to submit to vaccinations and normal hygienic practices. They also have
persisted in illegal large gatherings at weddings and religious ceremonies, spreading the
coronavirus within their own communities and also to outsiders with whom they have contact.
Regularly exposing anti-Semitism is regarded as a good thing by many Jewish groups because
the state of perpetual victimization that it supports enables them to obtain special benefits
that might otherwise be considered excessive in a pluralistic democracy. Holocaust education in
schools is now mandatory in many jurisdictions and more than 90% of discretionary Department of
Homeland Security funding goes to Jewish organizations. Jewish organizations are
now lining up to get what they choose to believe is their share of Coronavirus emergency
funding.
Claims of increasing anti-Semitism, and the citation of the so-called holocaust, are like
having a perpetual money machine that regularly disgorges reparations from the Europeans as
well as billions of dollars per year from the U.S. Treasury. Holocaust and anti-Semitism
manufactured guilt are undoubtedly contributing factors to the subservient relationship that
the United States enjoys with the state of Israel, most recently manifested in the U.S.
Department of Defense's gift of one million surgical masks
to the Israel Defense Force in spite of there being a shortage of the masks in the United
States (note how the story
was edited after it first appeared by the Jerusalem Post to conceal the U.S. role
but it still has the original email address and the photo cites the Department of Defense).
And then there is the issue of Jewish power, which is discussed regularly by Jews themselves
but is verboten to gentiles. Jews wield hugely disproportionate power in all the Anglophone
states as well as in France and parts of Eastern Europe and even in Latin America. If
anti-Semitism is as rampant as has often been claimed it is odd that there are so many Jews
prominent in politics and the professions, most especially financial services and the media.
Either anti-Semitism is not really "surging" or the actual anti-Semities have proven to be
particularly incompetent in making their case.
Further muddying the waters, there have been a number of instances in which Jews have
themselves been responsible for what have been claimed to be anti-Semitic incidents. There has
also been credible speculation that some of the incidents have been false flags staged by the
Israeli government itself, presumably acting through its intelligence services. The objective
would be to create sympathy among the public in Europe and the U.S. for Israel and to
encourage
diaspora emigration to the Jewish state. The recent tale of Israeli-American Michael
Kadar, who has been credited with many of early 2017's nearly two thousand bomb scares
targeting Jewish community centers and synagogues worldwide, is illustrative.
Kadar, who holds both Israeli and American nationality, was arrested in Ashkelon
Israel on March 2017 by Israeli police in response to the investigation carried out by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation. Kadar's American address was in New Lenox Illinois but he
actually resided in Israel. Kadar's defense was that he had a brain tumor that caused autism
and was not responsible for his actions, but he was found to be fit for trial and was
sentenced
to 10 years in prison in June 2017. He was apparently subsequently quietly released from
prison and returned to Illinois in
mid-2018. In August 2019 he was
arrested for violation of parole on a firearms and drugs offense.
The court in Tel Aviv convicted Kadar on counts including "extortion, disseminating
hoaxes in order to spread panic, money laundering and computer hacking over bomb and shooting
threats against community centers, schools, shopping malls, police stations, airlines, and
airports in North America, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Norway and Denmark." It claimed
that "As a result of 142 telephone calls to airports and airlines, in which he said bombs had
been planted in passenger planes or they would come under attack, aircraft were forced to make
emergency landings and fighter planes were scrambled."
It was also claimed
by the court that Kadar had gotten involved with the so-called restricted access "dark web"
to make threats for money. He reportedly earned $240,000 equivalent worth of the digital
currency Bitcoin. Kadar has reportedly refused to reveal the password to his Bitcoin wallet and
its value is believed to have increased to more than $1 million.
The tale borders on the bizarre and right from the beginning there were
many inconsistencies in both the Department of Justice case and in terms of Kadar's
biography and vital statistics. After his arrest and conviction, many of his public, private
and social networking records were either deleted or changed, suggesting that a high-level
cover-up was underway.
Most significant, the criminal
complaint against Kadar included details of the phone calls that were not at all consistent
with the case that he had acted alone. The threats were made using what is referred to as
spoofing telephone services, used by marketers to hide the caller's true number and identify,
but the three cell phone numbers identified by the Department of Justice to make the spoofed
calls were all U.S.-based and one of them was linked to a Jewish Chabad religious leader and
one to the Church of Scientology's counter-intelligence chief in California. In addition, some
of the calls were made when Kadar was in transit between Illinois and Israel, suggesting that
he had not initiated the calls.
DOJ's criminal complaint also included information that the threat caller was a woman who
had "a distinct speech impediment." Michael Kadar's mother has a distinct speech impediment.
Oddly enough she has not been identified in any public documents and the Israelis claimed that
Michael was disguising his voice, but she is believed to be Dr. Tamar Kadar, who resided in
Ashkelon at the same address as Michael. Dr. Kadar is a chemical weapons researcher at the
Mossad-linked Israel Institute for Biological Research ("IIBR").
Michael appears to have U.S. birthright citizenship because he was born in Bethesda in 1990
while his mother was a visiting researcher at the U.S. Army Military Research Institute of
Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID). While Dr. Kadar was at USAMRIID, anthrax went missing from the
Army's lab and may have been subsequently used in the 2001 anthrax letter attacks inside the
U.S., which resulted in the deaths of five people. The FBI subsequently accused two USAMRIID
researchers of the theft, but one was exonerated and the other committed suicide, closing the
investigation.
So, there are some interesting issues raised by the Michael Kadar case. First of all, he
appears to have been the fall guy for what may have been a Mossad directed false-flag operation
actually run by his mother, who is herself an expert on biological weapons and works at an
Israeli intelligence lab. Second, the objective of the operation may have been to create an
impression that anti-Semitism is dramatically increasing, which ipso facto generates a
positive perception of Israel and encourages foreign Jews to emigrate to the Jewish state. And
third, there appears to have been a cover-up orchestrated by the Israeli and U.S. governments,
evident in the disappearance of both official and non-official records, while Michael has been
quietly released from prison and is enjoying his payoff of one million dollars in bitcoins. As
always, whenever something involves promoting the interests of the state of Israel, the deeper
one digs the more sordid the tale becomes.
Philip M. Giraldi, Ph.D., is Executive Director of the Council for the National
Interest, a 501(c)3 tax deductible educational foundation (Federal ID Number #52-1739023) that
seeks a more interests-based U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. Website is
councilforthenationalinterest.org, address is P.O. Box 2157, Purcellville VA 20134 and its
email is[email protected] .
Good piece of work Dr. Giraldi. A few things about this case of the Kadars. Basically Israel
refused to cooperate with the FBI at the beginning and resisted giving up the kid.
Furthermore, the FBI was told to "back off" by higher ups in the agency and let Israel handle
it. So the results are what you would expect with a false flag.
The anthrax case still has legs. Bruce Irvins was the microbiologist at Detrick you are
referring to. He was never charged and they never proved he was involved and the FBI could
not place him in any of the spots they wanted. He had some issues and the FBI gang banged him
looking for a patsy. Dr. Hatfill was the "original" Person of Interest whom the Jewish
controlled media followed around and they ruined his life. He sued the FBI and won a lot of
money.
The FBI appeared to intentionally mess up the anthrax samples. Reviews by the National
Academy of Science rocked the idiots at the FBI and they concluded Irvins was not involved.
The real kicker to all of this is that the FBI leader of the investigation was Robert
Mueller! The same Mueller who spent almost 3 years chasing Russian spies well knowing that it
was lie.
And finally who sealed the files so no one could ever come up with the real perpetrators
..Obama!
Antisemitism is pro-Israel, the Nazis included (shipping jews to Palestine).
For some reason I know exactly what a neonazi looks like, how he behaves, how he talks,
how he thinks and even how he feels. But I never met one. Where does this 'knowledge' come
from?
I happen to remember some television that I have seen as a child. Most people don't and
are living in a fantasy world with fantasy enemies and fantasy friends and take it for
reality.
"Further muddying the waters, there have been a number of instances in which Jews have
themselves been responsible for what have been claimed to be anti-Semitic incidents."
There have been so many such incidents over the years that when a synagogue or cemetery
gets spray-painted with swastikas, the default presumption for any subsequent investigation
is automatically "inside-job".
The stereotypical perpetrator would tend to be a deranged student residing at the campus
Hillel House, majoring in film studies or some other flakey college program.
Years ago there was a case of a San Francisco synagogue on fire. After the arsonist, a
Jew, was caught and confessed, the tenor of the response was that one had to feel sorry for
him because he needed help.
In light of such incidents there has even been a visual meme out there: Hey Rabbi
Watcha Doin'?! (See Google Images)
Getting a patsy to do the dirty work is significantly more effective in provoking outrage
and sympathy. Though last year's attack on a synagogue in Halle, Germany, during Yom Kippur
services in early October was highly suspicious, media reports managed to suppress those
aspects and instead generated a victimhood-card bonanza that lasted for weeks.
The German population was easily bamboozled. Prominent Jewish representatives publicly
demanded more stringent laws against "anti-semitism", as recently re-defined, and
parliamentarians duly obliged.
News that had not been much reported about, but was circulating at the outset in
alternative media:
• Mentally deranged perpetrator, who had shared his views on an Internet chat group,
expressed his desire to attack Muslims and Antifa.
• Anonymous "handler / minder" in California offered to pay him half a bitcoin to
redirect his attack toward the synagogue instead.
• Synagogue had just recently been equipped with elaborate security system installed
by Israeli company to withstand shooting and bombing attacks.
• Local police, which normally would provide security outside, during holiday
services, were conspicuously absent during that time, and slow to respond (likely stand-down
orders from above).
• Perpetrator filmed his rampage, which he broadcast in real-time as a live stream
video online (wanting to emulate an earlier attack in New Zealand), enabling his handlers to
monitor the shooting spree while in progress.
• After his mission failed, frustrated perpetrator "spilled the beans" in real-time
and cussed out the Californian bitcoin payer, who had apparently set him up to be framed, as
probably being a Jew.
Of course, by design, the securely locked synagogue door easily withstood the shooting
attack with multiple exterior bullet holes into its wooden exterior. Everybody in the world
probably saw that part.
I was born in Argentina, 1950. There was a populist nationalist government then, strongly
disliked by the US. It included a whole spectrum, right to left. It assisted together with
the Vatican the rescuing of Nazi criminals that settled in the country. There was an
antisemitic movement headed by a provocateur, Juan Guillermo Kelly for name. Jews emigrated
to Israel. In the 80s he made public he was a Mossad agent
@vot
tak How can Jews be a 'colonial occupation force' in any nation that is English-speaking
and has not totally rejected the political and cultural heritage of WASP Empire?
Anglo-Saxon Puritanism was a Judaizing heresy. When the Anglo-Saxon Puritans won their
revolution, they cemented Modern English culture as one twined with Jewish ideas and ideals.
Archetypal WASP Oliver Cromwell cemented that doubly by allying with Jewish bankers on the
Continent. From the mid-1600s, Jews have been the defining bankers of English Empire, of WASP
Empire. And bankers are always the opposite of outsiders. Bankers own and eventually come to
control fully.
Anglo-Zionist Empire has existed since at least Oliver Cromwell.
As in the case of the Mossad asset Jeff Epstein, who was running a child-rape assembly line
on his 'Orgy Island' and on his 'Lolita Express,' to ensnare weakling politicians,
video-taping them in the process of raping young girls–and boys–then use that to
blackmail them into becoming an enthusiastic supporter of Israel, the one lead that was never
pursued was, "How many other Epstein's are out there, doing their slimy business for Israel?"
The same could be asked of this 'Mikey' Kadar terrorist, who I'm sure has plenty of
accomplices world-wide, still phoning in threats or maybe spray-painting Jew cemeteries with
the dreaded Nazi Swastika.
This terrorist does about one year in prison, then is set free and off to the USA he runs?
If his name had been Mohammed or he was a skin-headed nationalist, he'd be in prison for the
rest of his life, but since he's from that class of those Chosen by G-d, he gets a
pass.
There was an antisemitic movement headed by a provocateur, Juan Guillermo Kelly
Very interesting information. I did a quick search and the only info I found was this wiki
entry in Spanish.
I used google translate to convert to English.
Do you have any sources that confirm his alleged affiliation with Mossad?

From a young age he was a member of the Nationalist Liberation Alliance. Until then, it
was led by Juan Queraltó and had a clear anti-Semitic profile that Kelly fought
against. The group went on to become a shock force of Peronism.
During the bombing of Plaza de Mayo, when a group of military personnel opposed to the
government of Juan Domingo Perón attempted to assassinate him and carry out a coup
d'état, several squadrons of aircraft belonging to Naval Aviation, bombarded and
machine-gunned them with anti-aircraft ammunition, Plaza de Mayo and the Casa Rosada, as well
as the CGT building, Kelly, aided by the Nationalist Liberation Alliance, dueled with the
Marines responsible for the attack. [2]
After the self-proclaimed liberating revolution dictatorship was established, after a
bombardment of the headquarters of his organization, located in San Martín and
Corrientes Avenue in Buenos Aires. On September 21, the coup armed forces received from
Córdoba the order to eliminate that focus of resistance in the heart of the city of
Buenos Aires and advanced on it with cannons and two Sherman tanks, sending an emissary to
surrender. The cannons and tanks fired and some fifty men, led by Guillermo Patricio Kelly,
surrendered. Those who remained inside died under the rubble of the three-story building,
destroyed with gunshots. The number of deaths that some raise to more than 400 is unknown.
[3] After that, he was arrested by the dictatorship and transferred to the Río
Gallegos prison, where one night in 1957 he starred in a film escape along with John William
Cooke, Jorge Antonio and Héctor Cámpora and other political prisoners managed
to escape, after which he applied for political asylum in Chile, but this was denied. When he
was about to be sent to Argentina, he escaped again, this time dressed as a woman, [required
appointment] to Venezuela where Perón was. When he left Chile for Caracas, he used a
new identity: he was "Doctor Vargas, psychoanalyst".
When on January 26, 1958, the newspaper El Nacional titled "Perón led the
repression against the Venezuelan people," he identified him, along with Kelly, as "National
Security torture consultants" and published Perón's fraternal letters to the head of
that body.
When the revolution broke out in Venezuela, Perón was another of the insurgents'
objectives, along with his collaborators, among whom was Kelly, and they had to take refuge
in the Embassy of the Dominican Republic. Outside, more than a thousand people were shaking
the entrance gate. They had already been locked up for two days, and people were still
outside. All the Argentines looked askance at Kelly. "They are going to kill us all because
of this one," they growled. There were several who wanted to kick him out and someone raised
the motion: to vote if he should withdraw. It was not necessary: Kelly decided
to face up. He only asked for two conditions: that he be given a pair of dark glasses and a
hat. He also asked for silver. When he walked out of the embassy and mixed with the crowd, no
one could recognize him. In the midst of the seizure, Kelly made contact with two CIA agents:
-- The Communists are going to enter the embassy and they are going to kill Perón. And
if they kill him, the entire continent is communicated – he warned them. Finally, the
United States prepared to rescue him, interceding with the revolutionary government to clear
the area and facilitate his departure to the Dominican Republic. [4]
Kelly was stoned from the Caracas airport, obtained refuge in Haiti and, after a turbulent
stay in which he was imprisoned, [5] crossed the border to the Dominican Republic, where he
remained for a few days. He returned to Argentina in 1958 with the passport that he stole
from Roberto Galán and after six months he was arrested and transferred again to the
Ushuaia prison. [6]
Throughout his life he was imprisoned for almost eight years. In 1966 he occupied the
headquarters of the PJ National Coordinating Board for a few hours, from where he launched a
violent proclamation against union leader Augusto Vandor. [appointment required]
In 1981, in the midst of a military dictatorship, he denounced the theft of $ 60 million
from Argentina, 10% of that debt belonging to General Suárez Mason, considering him a
"murderer of the people." According to Kelly, Mason is involved in the YPF emptying in the
1980s. He also said that the military man worked as a mercenary training mercenary troops to
fight in the Caribbean, which received money from the Nord high command, who was accused of
murdering the brother and two nephews of former President Arturo Frondizi. Also involved in
this robbery was former judge Pedro Narvaez who fled to Rio de Janeiro and then to Spain. [7]
[8]
In 1983, he gained notoriety after formulating a series of complaints related to the P-2
Lodge, the YPF dismissal and the murder of Fernando Branca, in addition to filing a criminal
complaint against Emilio Massera. Shortly thereafter, in August of that year, Kelly was
kidnapped and severely beaten by a gang led by Aníbal Gordon, who claimed to have
acted on the orders of the last military dictator Reynaldo Bignone and the Army Corps I.
In 1991, during the presidency of Carlos Menem, he was the host of an ATC program called
Sin Concesiones, in which he maintained that it would reveal "where the children of the
´Noble Ladies´ come from", alluding to the children adopted by the director from
the Clarín newspaper, Ernestina Herrera de Noble. After a meeting between Herrera de
Noble, Héctor Magnetto and Carlos Menem held at the Quinta de Olivos on Thursday, May
2, 1991, Clarín and the government agreed on Kelly's air release at ATC in exchange
for the air output of the program of the journalist Liliana López Foresi, Magazine 13,
Journalism with an opinion, in which Menem was severely criticized. [9] [10] [11] [12]
On the subject of Herrera de Noble's children, Kelly wrote a book published by Arkel
Publishing in 1993 titled Noble: Imperio Corrupto. Only 200 copies were published, although
the author gave several of them to public libraries in the United States. [13]
He died on July 1, 2005 at 8:30 am, a victim of terminal cancer at the German Hospital in
the City of Buenos Aires. [14] [15]
Very much so. Because it helps direct our attention to something very important.
Though they're good at infiltration, subversion, betrayal, destruction and death, they're
no good at social-managment.
Who's "they"?
I refer to them as Jewish Supremacy Inc. (JSI).
It's a distinction worth making because it separates them from Jews who don't hate Whites
and aren't obsessed with being Jewish.
They're out there, however small their numbers might be.
After all, Gilad Atzmon's not the only one.
It's also worth pointing out that JSI gets lots of help from three other groups who aren't
Jewish at all. In fact they're White.
1. the cynical, self-centered whores of opportunity who will do anything to protect their
own materialistic, narcissistic trough.
2. the incurably gullible, pathologically naive Whites from Left-wingy Multi-Culties to
Right-wing Christian Zionists.
3. the perfectly indifferent who walk around with that stroked out look on their face from
watching too much ESPN and Pornhub.
The rest of us are freedom-lovers, or TUR readers/commenters or potential TUR
readers/commenters.
Meaning they'd be open to what the actual readers/commenters have to say and won't fly off
the handle with a knee-jerk reaction before springing into fight or flight mode.
In short, this boils down to a battle of
Dogma versus Pragma
.
What's the difference?
Pragma is open to exposing its ideas to a process of continuous feedback and correction
for the purpose of improving the quality of its social-management
Excuse me, but this is comical. There is no other group in America and the entire West who
are more protected and more privileged than Jews. While White Gentiles are routinely
attacked, beaten to a pulp, raped, and brutally murdered by Blacks, Hispanics, Pakis, Arabs,
in Europe and America, just for having the temerity to walk outside in countries built by
their White ancestors. How does a painted swastika equate with rape-torture murders of the
Christian-Newsom Knoxville Horror? And if you think the Christian-Newsom murders are a rare
crime in America, you are living under a rock. And lest we forget the Christian-Newsom
Murders nor the Wichita Massacre murders were labeled "hate crimes." Despite thousands upon
thousands of Black on White and other nonwhite on White attacks, rapes, murders in this
country, you can bet the house that no one in Washington has voiced concerns over the
violence being perpetrated on White Gentiles daily in America. America is indeed a racist
country and Whites experience that racism every single day.
Remember a couple years ago when someone was calling bomb threats to Jewish Community
Centers? Remember that they found out it was some Jewish guy in a Tel Aviv basement calling
in the bomb threats. Of course at first the (((media))) went through their spiel about how
anti-Semitism was on the rise in America, and then once we all found out that the perpetrator
was a Jewish guy in Israel, ( I believe a dual citizen at that) the (((media))) dropped this
case quicker than you could claim some NY/NJ rabbis were selling body organs.
Most of these hate crime HOAXES are simply Jews and/or Blacks drawing swastikas, hanging a
nooses in a locker, or some other ridiculous and downright childish act that in no way even
if done by a White racist who hates Jews and Blacks, equates to a Mississippi girl named
Jessica Chambers being burned alive, a 12 year old white male being burned alive with a blow
torch by an adult black female in Texas, etc., etc. The fact of the matter is that "hate
crimes" against nonwhites and Jews are downright rare in America, ( not talking about HOAXES
here) and there is no way that a crayon drawing of a swastika or hanging a noose in someone's
locker can be linked as the same as someone dying a horrific and brutal death like the White
victims I listed. IF we lived in a TRULY just and decent country, EVERYONE out there,
regardless of color, creed or religion would recognize that we need to stop all the hate and
violence directed at White Gentiles before moving on to worrying about crayon drawings.
Remember when Noel Ignatiev the Jewish professor stated we need to "abolish Whiteness?" Now
imagine a White professor stating that we need to "abolish Jewishness in America?" Can you
imagine what would have happened to that guy? Is it possible for a Jew in America/Canada or
Europe to be fired from his or here job for making racist or inflammatory remarks about
Whites?
The story of Michael Kadar is reminiscent of the tale of another criminal young male with
dual Israeli US citizenship, Samuel Sheinbein.
Sheinbein and a colleague murdered, dismembered and burnt a fellow high school classmate,
the hispanic Fredo Enrique Tello, Jr., in September, 1997. Sheinbein fled to Israel and in a
long drawn out court battle, Sheinbein's requested extradition to the State of Maryland to
stand trial was refused by Israel's supreme court.
You can read the whole sordid story in Wikipedia including how Sheinbaum was killed in a
shootout with the guards who were escorting him from one prison to another.
@Jake
Here we go with the WASP thing again. A minority of descendants of the Angles were Puritans,
and even fewer Saxons were Puritans. There were also Norse Puritans, Norman Puritans and
Briton Puritans. All Puritans were minorities. Many "Protestant" Churches, including the
Anglican Church, considered Puritans dissenters, verging on heretics, and not really
Protestants beyond protesting the Church of Rome. Knox's Presbyterians had a lot in common
with Puritans as did Dutch Protestants, and there were a lot of Dutch who moved to East
Anglia. Some became Puritans. It's silly to refer to it at it being "Anglo-Saxon Puritans" as
not all were Angles or Saxons. They were Puritans who happened to be Angles, Saxons and
others. WASP is even sillier. Are there Brown, Yellow, or Red Anglo-Saxons?
Cromwell seized power because the Stuarts were unpopular for many reasons, and as with
every revolution, a minority with zealotry seizes power from an apathetic majority. Sure he
turned to the Jewish Amsterdam bankers, who were already funding the Dutch Empire, including
New Amsterdam, but who else would have helped? The Puritans were vehemently anti Catholic and
would have never turned there. They were also vehemently anti-Muslim, so the Ottomans were
out. The Jews were it by elimination.
As for the culture. The culture of the elite is seldom the culture of the general
population.
The "Anglo-Saxons" were more than happy to restore the Stuarts after Cromwell, as long as
they were Protestants. The installation of King Billy, replacing James, was due to James
having converted to Catholicism and the fear of his imposing it on the country.
It was under William and Mary that the newly, created by Parliament, Bank of England was
taken over by Jewish bankers. The same minority Puritan Parliament that restored the Stuarts
and sponsored the overthrow of James.
I saw the first part of Salo in 1993, didn't return after intermission.
The film was autobiographical.
In the last days of the 1944/45 Mussolini Regime, the police in the area around Venice
rounded up the good looking younger teenagers and imprisoned them in a mansion to be preyed
upon be homosexual members of the clergy, civil service, and Magistracy.
The rules were explained to the children by a Ghislaine Maxwell type Madam, and were that any
member of the Elite could use them in any way he saw fit, any refusal would result in the
loss of a limb, any demonstration of affection between the children would result in the loss
of a limb, at the choice of the offended party. A limb might be interpreted as an eye, a
finger, a hand
Pasolini had waited 30 years to tell this story, murdered for his trouble a little while
later.
Jones gives no clue about any of this, perhaps he never saw the film, perhaps he is a
disinfo agent.
Salo was showing at the Trak cimema in Toorak, Catholics were outside on the footpath
picketing, trying to dissuade people from going inside.
From the reactions of some in the theatre, they had expected to be attending a porno
film.
Much thanks to the author for the short but thoughtful words about Pier Paolo Pasolini.
A tragic figure if there ever was one, Pasolini could see the problem. Sad he was a slave
to his appetites, but perhaps during the few seconds of lucidity he had before his murderer
finished him, he saw how rightly wrong he had been.
When I was way too young I saw a sadly beat-up version of The Gospel According to Saint
Matthew and found it profoundly moving. Even the worn and decrepit version held out so
much promise. On researching I discovered Pasolini had attempted to make a sort of mental
pilgrimage with it. "I tried to see it as He would have, or someone close by," is how he put
it. People tried to read social gospel and all that into it, but it defies easy analysis. It
looks for all the world like a newsreel, circa the time of Christ.
Very interesting topic. Some people we see as mad or degenerate really are on a sort of
journey. Many journeys end badly. Too bad Pasolini was one of them. He was a fundamentally
serious soul, just not a perfect one.
FBI, NYPD Raid Fashion Exec Peter Nygard's Headquarters In Sex-Trafficking Pedophilia
Investigation by Tyler Durden Tue, 02/25/2020 - 11:39 The FBI
and NYPD detectives raided the Manhattan headquarters of fashion executive Peter Nygard on
Tuesday morning in connection with an ongoing sex-trafficking investigation , according to the
New York
Times , citing two law enforcement officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The 78-year-old Nygard has been under investigation for at least five months by a joint
child-exploitation task force overseen by the Manhattan US attorney's office. According to the
report, at least four women have accused Nygard in a lawsuit of sexually assaulting them when
they were 14 and 15.
While the raid is the latest in an ongoing joint investigation, Nygard has racked up decades
of sexual misconduct allegations culminating in lawsuits from nine women.
That lawsuit was filed this month. On Sunday, The New York Times detailed how a fight with
his wealthy neighbor led to the lawsuit, and also showed a
pattern of complaints about sexual misconduct by Mr. Nygard stretching back 40 years
.
Nine women in Canada and California, mostly employees, have sued him or reported him to
authorities alleging sexual harassment or assault since 1980 . In addition, another nine
former employees told The Times in interviews that he raped them, touched them
inappropriately or proposed sex. - NYT
The Times interviewed the 10 women - most of whom allege Nygard raped them during "pamper
parties" in the Bahamas , his home since 1986. The parties, which mostly took place on Sundays
at his lavish estate, featured young women who would receive 'pedicures, massages, Jet Ski
rides and endless alcohol,' according to the report.
Nygard has denied the charges, claiming that his adversary and neighbor in the Bahamas -
hedge-fund billionaire Louis Bacon and his private investigators are behind the charges. Bacon
says he wanted to get justice for the women.
See here for more on the spat between Nygard and Bacon.
Meanwhile, Nygard was also investigated in late 2015 and the summer of 2017 on
sex-trafficking allegations . He was also probed by the Department of Homeland Security, which
investigated him for nine months with no result.
Nygard notoriously travels with an entourage of models and paid girlfriends as a self-avowed
playboy. He has at least 10 children with eight women, and demands a steady supply of sex
partners 'who hunted for young women at shops, clubs and restaurants' for him. Sound

Jeffrey Epstein's alleged 'madam' told a former acquaintance that she and
the now-dead pedophile had "everything on videotape," according to
The Telegraph .
The acquaintance, socialite and distant relative to the royals Christina Oxenberg, said that
Maxwell also told her that Epstein bought a private helicopter because commercial pilots were
"eyes and ears" he did not need.
She revealed she had spoken to the FBI about what she had been told.
Ms Oxenberg, 57, first met Maxwell in the early 1990s and said she would never forget a
conversation the pair once had in Maxwell's home.
"We were alone," she said. "She said many things. All creepy. Unorthodox. Strange. I could
not believe whatever she was saying was real. Stuff like: 'Jeffrey and I have everyone on
videotape.'"...
Maxwell has been accused by several alleged Epstein victims of both facilitating and
participating in sexual crimes. She has vehemently denied the claims and has not been charged
with any crimes in connection to Epstein's activities.
L Brands went public in 1969 and Wexner was a billionaire by the 1980s, a person familiar with his finances has
said. A self-proclaimed workhorse, Wexner preferred to focus on his job rather than managing his money,
according to people who knew him at the time.
Then Epstein showed up.
The former math teacher and Bear Stearns Cos. banker became a central figure in the billionaire's life. The
pair met in the late 1980s in Palm Beach, Florida, when Epstein was hustling for clients of his
money-management firm that he said catered only to billionaires. The New Yorker and Wexner, one of the nation's
richest people at the time, struck up a friendship that seemed odd to some who were close to the fashion mogul.
Wexner soon abandoned the money manager he had been working with. In 1991, he gave Epstein power of attorney.
He explained in a letter to his philanthropic foundation in August -- days before Epstein hanged himself in his
Manhattan jail cell -- that the financier previously had "wide latitude to act on my behalf with respect to my
personal finances."
'Good Decisions'
One of Epstein's roles was to manage Wexner's soaring stock holdings, but his duties also included suburban
planning and yacht design. He represented Wexner when the billionaire sold a New York townhouse to the German
government in 1991, according to Jessica Rohm, a retired real estate agent. Epstein was the beneficiary of
hand-me-downs including a Boeing 727 and another Manhattan mansion on East 71st Street.
"He votes the shares. I decide when to sell it," Epstein said in a 2003 interview at his private Caribbean
island. "If you take a look back you'll see I've made very good decisions."
Wexner has a
$7 billion
fortune, according to the
Bloomberg Billionaires Index
. Less than a fifth of that is tied up in L Brands, thanks in part to the share
sales Epstein oversaw. The mandate proved enormously profitable for him. Epstein's Financial Trust Co.
collected
$208 million
in fee income from 2003 through 2006, according to accounts first obtained by the New York
Times.
The filings indicate that Wexner was his central -- perhaps only -- backer in those years. When the two cut
ties in 2007, fee income at Financial Trust fell to
$4
million
that year from
$66 million
in 2006.
Epstein's Backer
Fee income at financier's firm cratered after Wexner cut ties
Twelve years later, in July 2019, those ties sparked a crisis for Wexner after Epstein was arrested and charged
with sex trafficking. After weeks of silence, Wexner disavowed the convicted pedophile, who had served time on
other charges in Florida a decade earlier, noting his former money manager had "misappropriated vast sums of
money from me and my family." Days later, Epstein was dead.
Les Wexner is stepping down as chairman and CEO of L Brands as the company prepares to sell
a 55% stake in its flagship brand, Victoria's Secret, to private equity firm Sycamore Partners
for $525 million, according to a pair of reports from
Bloomberg and WSJ.
Last month, we reported that Wexner, a longtime friend, benefactor and mentor to financier
pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, was preparing to sell the company that he essentially built and led
for decades.
WSJ
described the decision to give up control of Victoria's Secret was an acknowledgement that
82-year-old billionaire Wexner "couldn't revei the fortunes of a troubled lingerie brand he had
built around shopping malls and sex appeal.
Three other L Brands board members will step down along with Wexner, though Abigail's will
remain on the board. A successor has already been chosen, per WSJ.
In an internal memo to staff, Mr. Wexner shared news of the deal and his departure. "I've
thought about where I fit in the picture," he wrote in the email. "In keeping with this same
thoughtful examination, I have decided that now is the right time to pass the reins to new
leadership."
L Brands said it had promoted one of its longtime executives, Andrew Meslow, to take over
as chief executive and be added to the board when the Sycamore deal closes. Mr. Meslow, who
joined the company in 2003, is chief operating officer of its Bath & Body Works
chain.
Three longtime board members, including L Brand's lead independent director, will step
down at the next annual meeting. Two other directors left last year amid pressure from an
activist investor. Mr. Wexner, who owns a 17% stake, and his wife Abigail will keep seats on
the board.
The deal will spin off VS as a separate company with a valuation worth $1.1 billion, just a
fraction of the $34 billion valuation for Lululemon Athletica and other rivals.

Victoria's Secret Sale To Sycamore Imminent; L Brands' Shares Pop by Tyler Durden Mon, 02/10/2020 -
07:15 0 SHARES Shares of Victoria's Secret parent company L Brands jumped 10% Monday on news
private equity firm Sycamore Partners is close to a deal to purchase the women's lingerie
brand, reported CNBC
.
News of the potential deal involving Sycamore was released in the overnight hours, with more
details expected this week.
There was no word on a succession plan for L Brands CEO Les Wexner. Still, as we noted
several weeks ago, his mediocre performance as CEO and
controversial relationship with late sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein , assured that his time
at the helm of the company is coming to an end. That said, since we first previewed the
potential sale of Victoria's Secret, there has been no indication if the transaction is tied to
Wexner's relationship with Epstein.
Victoria's Secret has experienced declining sales in the last four years, which triggered a
mass exodus of investors from L Brands' stock, sending it plunging 74% since 2016. Shareholders
criticized Wexner for his inability to evolve Victoria's Secret to changing consumer demands,
despite L Brands having massive success in its other companies, such as Bath & Bodyworks
personal care shop.
Victoria's Secret generated $7.4 billion in sales last year but has been considered a dying
brand among consumers.

New York: Stefan Kaluzny has made a ton of money -- and drawn his share of critics --
buying down-on-the-heels retailers using lots of debt.
Now, Kaluzny's Sycamore Partners is under scrutiny again, after completing a deal that
left even seasoned leveraged-buyout experts agog. On Tuesday, Sycamore pulled off a $5.4
billion refinancing of Staples Inc., which it bought in 2017, that funded a staggering $1
billion dividend to the private equity firm.
The dividend is among the biggest in recent memory, even in a world where buyout firms
routinely extract large sums for themselves after taking companies private. Combined with a
payment it took in January, it means Sycamore has recovered -- in less than two years --
roughly 80% of the equity it originally put up as part of the deal. Private equity investors
typically run their companies for five to seven years before taking profits and exiting the
investment. - Sycamore Partners under scrutiny after pocketing $1 billion from Staples deal,

In 1982
Maurice convened in Vail a gathering of the 300 top world leaders to 'hand them' the plan
during a week long gathering in which they were drugged with psychedelics. 10 years later
Maurice gave us Agenda 21 then in 2015 Agenda 2030, meanwhile, trade with China expanded and
factories were relocated to China, the European Union was created and the North American
Union was being created in secret. All seemed to be progressing well to bring about the plan,
the One World Government & Religion (GAIA).
Did China get suckered by the globalist & democrats into thinking they were going to
takeover the United States? Even worse, did the globalist think they were playing the top of
the game?
Jeffery Epstein is thought to be the Messiah of biblical prophesy by many of the most
powerful people. China is now a sort of leper colony. Saint James, kin to Jesus, and a
central theme of this play, it is home of Rothschild & Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell.

The reaction that L Brands shareholders displayed last week following reports that Les Wexner was planning to sell Victoria's Secret and step down from leading the parent company is
all readers really need to know when it comes to Wexner's legacy.
As the founder and CEO of L Brands, Wexner took Victoria's Secret, a brand he bought in 1980
for a million dollars and transformed it into a multibillion dollar juggernaut in women's
fashion. But years of tepid sales, combined with the cancellation of the VS fashion show and
the canning of longtime marketing chief Ed Razek last August were harbingers of more change to
come. And after Wexner's name was once again dragged through the mud thanks to his status as a
key enabler of former protege Jeffrey Epstein (with whispers that his conduct as Epstein's
biggest financial benefactor might even have verged on criminal), it seemed obvious that the
man who once ruled the company from a position of untouchable strength had finally lost the
confidence of the board, and - more importantly - of its investors.
When news
of the pending sale of VS and Wexner's plan for retirement hit the tape last week, some
wondered about the timing, seeing as the company's earnings report isn't due for another
three-and-a-half weeks.
Well, a report published Saturday by the New
York Times might offer a few clues. After four Times reporters interviewed more than two
dozen former models and employees, the paper put together a #MeToo-style expose revealing
allegations of abusive behavior by top executives - behavior that Wexner was aware of, and
which he openly condoned.
But rampant sexism and a culture that protected bullies and sex pests weren't Wexner's only
shortcomings, according to NYT. He also rebuffed and punished executives who tried to steer
Victoria's Secret in a more progressive and contemporary direction - for example, executives
who suggested selling underwear that could actually fit American women.
Six current and former executives said in interviews that when they tried to steer the
company away from what one called its "porny" image, they were rebuffed. Three said they had
been driven out of the company.
Criticism of Victoria's Secret's anachronistic marketing went viral in 2018 when Mr. Razek
expressed no interest in casting plus-size and "transsexual" models in the fashion show.
When it came to depredations targeting models, Razek showed no qualms about flexing his
power and leverage to try and push models to date him.
He also clearly allowed Epstein to portray himself as an executive at the company as a ruse
to meet with models.
"I had spent all of my savings getting Victoria's Secret lingerie to prepare for what I
thought would be my audition," a woman identified as Jane Doe said in a statement read aloud
last summer in a federal court hearing in the Epstein case. "But instead it seemed like a
casting call for prostitution. I felt like I was in hell."
Razek left the company in August, just before the company cancelled the Victoria's Secret
fashion show. But the blame for his behavior ultimately falls on Wexner, an executive who
clearly had no qualms about enabling abusers, especially when their victims were minors and/or
women.
"With the exception of Les, I've been with L Brands longer than anyone," Mr. Razek wrote
to employees in August when he announced he was leaving the company he had joined in
1983.
Mr. Razek was instrumental in selecting the brand's supermodels - known as "Angels" and
bestowed with enormous, feathery wings - and in creating the company's macho TV ads.
But his biggest legacy was the annual fashion show, which became a global cultural
phenomenon.
"That's really where he sunk his teeth into the business," said Cynthia Fedus-Fields, the
former chief executive of the Victoria's Secret division responsible for its catalog. By
2000, she said, Mr. Razek had grown so powerful that "he spoke for Les."
Wexner was also portrayed as behind the times, particularly where his views on the 'body
positive' movement were concerned
In March, at a meeting at Victoria's Secret headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, an employee
asked Mr. Wexner what he thought about the retail industry's embrace of different body types.
He was dismissive.
"Nobody goes to a plastic surgeon and says, 'Make me fat'" Mr. Wexner replied, according
to two attendees.
Razek would sometimes directly remind models that he could make or break their careers.
Mr. Razek often reminded models that their careers were in his hands, according to models
and current and former executives who heard his remarks.
Alyssa Miller, who had been an occasional Victoria's Secret model, described Mr. Razek as
someone who exuded "toxic masculinity." She summed up his attitude as: "I am the holder of
the power. I can make you or break you."
He would sometimes pester models for their phone numbers while they were standing around in
VS lingerie. He also showed a preference for young, typically barely legal models.
At castings, Mr. Razek sometimes asked models in their bras and underwear for their phone
numbers, according to three people who witnessed his advances. He urged others to sit on his
lap. Two models said he had asked them to have private dinners with him.
One was Ms. Muise. In 2007, after two years of wearing the coveted angel wings in the
Victoria's Secret runway show, the 19-year-old was invited to dinner with Mr. Razek. She was
excited to cultivate a professional relationship with one of the fashion industry's most
powerful men, she said.
Mr. Razek picked her up in a chauffeured car. On the way to the restaurant, he tried to
kiss her, she said. Ms. Muise rebuffed him; Mr. Razek persisted.
For months, he sent her intimate emails, which The Times reviewed. At one point he
suggested they move in together in his house in Turks and Caicos. Another time, he urged Ms.
Muise to help him find a home in the Dominican Republic for them to share.
"I need someplace sexy to take you!" he wrote.
Ms. Muise maintained a polite tone in her emails, trying to protect her career. When Mr.
Razek asked her to come to his New York home for dinner, Ms. Muise said the prospect of
dining alone with Mr. Razek made her uneasy; she skipped the dinner.
She soon learned that for the first time in four years, Victoria's Secret had not picked
her for its 2008 fashion show.
One incident reported by the NYT is particularly cringe-worthy: Razek allegedly made a lewd
comment about supermodel Bella Hadid's "titties", and whether they would meet TV standards,
right in front of the influential model and her team.
In 2018, at a fitting ahead of the fashion show, the supermodel Bella Hadid was being
measured for underwear that would meet broadcast standards. Mr. Razek sat on a couch,
watching.
"Forget the panties," he declared, according to three people who were there and a fourth
who was told about it. The bigger question, he said, was whether the TV network would let Ms.
Hadid walk "down the runway with those perfect titties." (One witness remembered Mr. Razek
using the word "breasts," not "titties.")
At the same fitting, Mr. Razek placed his hand on another model's underwear-clad crotch,
three people said.
And with that, the same newspaper that helped launch the #MeToo movement has claimed another
scalp in its crusade to rework American culture in accordance with its progressive, 'body
positive' agenda. The age of Wexner and Razek at L Brands has ended. What's next? Only time
will tell.
Sen. John McCain's widow says "everyone" knew about Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking ring,
but were "afraid" to do anything about it.
"Epstein was hiding in plain sight," said McCain, during an appearance at the State of the
World 2020 conference in Florida, according to the Washington
Examiner .
" We all knew about him. We all knew what he was doing, but we had no one that was -- no
legal aspect that would go after him . They were afraid of him. For whatever reason, they were
afraid of him."
McCain said a girl from her daughter's high school was one of Epstein's victims and that
she hopes Epstein "is in hell."
Epstein's massive
wealth and his connections to powerful politicians and
celebrities allowed him to continue trafficking young women and girls long after many had
exposed his devious interests.
Dr. Barbara Sampson, the New York City medical examiner, said Epstein died by suicide at a
Manhattan federal detention facility last August. His death and the circumstances surrounding
it have created controversy after the former medical examiner of New York, Dr. Michael Baden,
told 60 Minutes that he believes Epstein
was murdered . - Washington
Examiner
How is it possible that Maxwell's lawyers keep doing all this work for her when nobody
apparently knows where she is?
I know all kind of civil lawyers are trying to reach her for questioning, depositions,
etc? If her lawyers know where she is, do they have to reveal this? I guess not. Or they are
working for someone they never even talk to?
Jean Brunnell, the modeling agency executive and another one of Epstein's main procurers
of girls, is another important Epstein accomplice who is apparently on the lam (and another
co-accoplice authorities have not arrested or even questioned).
Brunnell's lawyer has actually admitted in interviews that he has no idea where his client
is.
Brunnel had previously been quoted that he would be eager and willing to work with
authorities or answer their questions. This same lawyer responded to this quote, with the
comment, "I don't know about that." I at least give him points for honesty.
They need not be allowed a defense unless they appear. Tried in absentia, with a
defense... convicted without the ability to appeal due to their failure to appear. And the
lawyers should be sent to gitmo until they give them up.
It has now been over a year since the DOJ "re-opened" its "investigation" into Epstein.
Any prosecutor who has just passed his bar exam would need only a few weeks to compile a
mountain of evidence against Ghislaine Maxwell. Enough to charge her with scores of
crimes.
And it's not like the Feds were starting from scratch. In 2007, the FBI did its own
investigation (until it was spiked) and this after the Palm Beach Police Department had
compiled its own mountains of evidence. Plus, there have been numerous civil court filings
that prove her guilt and complicity as well as numerous public comments of former victims,
all of whom implicate and name her as Epstein's key partner.
The fact she is so clearly "off limits" is the greatest tell about the scale of corruption
and the extent of the cover-up involved here.
... Now, I do think at some point authorities will conclude they have no choice but to
charge her (given that the entire world thinks just like me), so it will be interesting how
they handle her if and when she is arrested. They certainly will not use her to reveal the
entire real story. They simply cannot do this at this point without charging scores of
current and former government employees.
Why are the FBI and DOJ even being allowed to lead this "Investigation?"
@Rev. Spooner I would highly doubt Trump has had sex with minors or raped women. It
doesn't fit his MO. Crass, big-mouthed, a braggart? Yes, but not a rapist or a child abuser.
Trump likes big, glamorous women who he can impress with his money, who make HIM look good,
the type who come to him, not little girls who are frightened. He's into enticing women with
his status.
The type who would want a frightened little girl (someone like a Bill Clinton) is a much
more devious character. They're into power. They crave fear. "Look how powerful I am, they're
frightened of me." Now this is a sick individual.
And no way Trump is a rapist. He doesn't have to be; it would be beneath him, in his
mind.
Rick Wiles (TruNews) goes full red pill on Zionist Israel. The U.S. is conquered territory. You will be placed in a digital
ghetto if you discuss Israel's crimes, or complain about the Jewish mafia takeover in America. Rabbi Trumpenstein will look the
other way to appease his Jewish handlers. These outrageous Jewish actions are becoming more and more outrageous under the Agent
Orange administration. Meanwhile, we are distracted by what is going on in the M.E.
Jeffrey Epstein was a Mossad operative who was tasked with blackmailing influential politicians and persons of interest in
the West, but in America in particular.
TruNews got dropped by PayPal after this report. The video is an hour long, but the best bit is the opening monologue, which
is shorter. Here is the summary.
The founder of TruNews accused PayPal of conducting a "financial pogrom" hours after the Florida-based Christian broadcaster
published a hard-hitting news report that linked the Jeffrey Epstein child sex scandal to Israel's Mossad spy agency.
PayPal abruptly terminated the account of TruNews without warning or explanation. The conservative Christian news program
has received donations in its PayPal account for more than 16 years without any problems. TruNews is funded by donations from
viewers. The weekday Christian news and commentary program started in 1999.
TruNews' founder and host Rick Wiles accused PayPal CEO Daniel Schulman, a progressive leftwing Jewish business executive,
of punishing the Christian broadcaster for its hard-hitting reports on Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell:
"PayPal abruptly closed our account on the morning of January 3, 2020. TruNews' report on January 2 was titled 'Ghislaine
Maxwell: Which spy agency is hiding her?' Our newscast focused on her father's longtime service to Israel's intelligence
agencies, how she was Jeffrey Epstein's handler for Mossad, and how Epstein's team video-recorded influential American men
having sex with underage girls who had been recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell."
Wiles said the swiftness of PayPal's action hours after the release of TruNews' report on the Epstein-Maxwell-Mossad
child sex blackmail operation was not a coincidence:
"Any American citizen or entity that questions Israeli actions and its influence in America are now marked targets. Israel's
blackmail operation in America for over 30 years was so successful that it is now dangerous for any law-abiding American
citizen to demand a real investigation into the biggest scandal in American history which resulted in much of America's
ruling class being caught in a child-sex blackmail trap."
Damn. When you're right, you're right, Rick.
Rick Wiles even saw through the whole fake "teen sex" angle that the media was pushing and promoting. The real story
wasn't some 16-year-old girls, but the children that the Jews were using for blackmail purposes. This is the real
kompromat that the Jews have on our politicians.
Wiles accused PayPal of conducting a financial pogrom against opponents of Israeli Zionism.
"TruNews is a victim of a PayPal pogrom. PayPal and the other Techno-Nazis like YouTube and Facebook are pushing American
patriots into digital ghettos if they dare to act like free men and women."
Wiles said he is driven by his commitment to justice:
"TruNews is demanding justice for thousands of American girls who were raped in Epstein's fake mansions, and we're demanding
a legitimate investigation into Israel's blackmailing of influential American men."
Wiles admitted he has little hope of seeing a real investigation because the FBI and Department of Justice have been
corrupted too.
When you understand the Jewish Question, you can just cut through the ******** like a laser. The JQ like nothing else sharpens
the minds and hones you in on the truth.
PayPal also abruptly closed on the same day the account of Bless an Orphan; a nonprofit Christian ministry founded by
Wiles' daughter Karissa Washburn. The Florida-based organization rescues children in South America who were kidnapped or
sold into sex trafficking. Wiles blasted PayPal for punishing his daughter:
"PayPal's action against Bless an Orphan was cruel and vindictive. Daniel Schulman punished my daughter who is saving
the
lives of little girls who were sold to sex traffickers. PayPal closed Bless an Orphan's account for one reason. They
wanted to intimidate me by targeting my daughter. PayPal is also making me aware that they know what my daughter is doing
in South America to rescue children."
TruNews has relentlessly pursued the Jeffrey Epstein child sex scandal. The Christian news organization believes that
Ghislaine Maxwell was Epstein's Mossad handler, not his lover. Maxwell is the daughter of the late Robert Maxwell who
mysteriously drowned in 1991. Maxwell, whose real name was Ján Ludvík Hyman Binyamin Hoch, was a Jewish billionaire who
was suspected of being a Mossad agent. He was given a state funeral in Israel and buried on the Mount of Olives.
TruNews also believes that Epstein was not a billionaire, but an imposter recruited by Mossad to act like a billionaire:
"You cannot convince me that Jeffrey Epstein was a self-made billionaire with only one client who owned mansions throughout
America and London and Paris. His mansions were owned by wealthy Jews through trusts."
Absolutely correct.
The outspoken TruNews founder also wants to know who received the video feeds from Epstein's mansions:
"According to anonymous former employees and women who were in those homes as teenagers, we know that cameras were
in all bedrooms and bathrooms that fed video to secret media rooms that were staffed with people capturing the child
sex acts on video. Who received the video? I believe it was sent to Tel Aviv for blackmail purposes."
Paul is probably just trying to get ahead of it. Possibly he was tipped
off he was about to be busted? Just a thought. Nothing better than blaming Q in a leftist mind..
Edit: In the Alex Jones case they sent the child porn as an attachment to
an email. This is straight up using his IP address. I'm no computer expert so I don't know if this can be
done? Or how hard it would be to do.

If someone had a backdoor into his system, it's theoretically possible
they could have done it by remote control. His description of it is completely ridiculous, though.

even though prison limits Internet usage, the good news is he'll be allowed to use a
FAX MACHINE!
(FYI- Krugman's two famous predictions are 1) bitcoin is not worth its $100 price and
will soon go to $0.. and 2) the Internet will fail and be nothing more than a glorified fax machine)
Something is really fishy here. Dynamic IP address is reassigned only if you do not switch on you computer on for several days,
which is not very probable for Krugman. Otherwise it is glued to this device and is difficult to highjack without installing
malware on the computer or router. and he should have static IP anyway, he is not some poor shmuck and can
afford extra $10 a month to have.
Two devices with the same IP on the network are usually automatically detected and it is
difficult to use them for download, as during this time the second device will lose Internet connection completely and the
problem will be detected by the ISP support.
So the only option is that somebody installed backdoor malware on Krugman computer and used his harddrive for storage. That's
an extremely improbable scenario, unless he visited some grey site himself.

Far from being the work of a single political party, intelligence agency or country, the
power structure revealed by the network connected to Epstein is nothing less than a criminal
enterprise that is willing to use and abuse children in the pursuit of ever more power, wealth
and control.
On August 10th, and for several days after, speculation swirled after it was announced that
Jeffrey Epstein had been found dead in his cell. His cause of death has officially been ruled
suicide by hanging.
Epstein, the billionaire pedophile and sex trafficker with a myriad of connections to the
rich and powerful in the United States and several other countries, had told those close to him
that he had feared for his life prior to his sudden "suicide," the Washington Post
reported, while his defense lawyers claimed that he had planned to cooperate with federal
authorities.
Following the controversial conclusion by the New York Medical Examiner that Epstein's death
was a suicide -- a conclusion contested by Epstein's attornies as well as by independent
forensic pathologists, given the apparent evidence pointing towards strangulation -- corporate
media coverage of the Epstein case has slowed to a trickle, save for sensationalist stories
about his alleged co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell and new salacious details of his past. Gone
from corporate media are any hints of the larger scandal, revolving around the admission that
Epstein had "belonged to intelligence."
In this four-part series, " The Jeffrey Epstein Scandal:
Too Big to Fail ," MintPress has revealed that Epstein's activities -- a sexual
blackmail operation involving minors and connected to intelligence agencies -- was one of many
such operations that have taken place for decades, developing from the nexus forged between the
CIA, organized crime and Israeli intelligence shortly after World War II.
As Part
II of this series revealed, these sexual blackmail operations proliferated during the
Iran-Contra affair, which involved this same dark alliance between U.S./Israeli intelligence
and organized crime. Though this series has thus far largely focused on the ties of Republican
officials to those operations and associated crimes, the final installment of this series will
focus on Democratic politicians, namely the Clinton family, and their ties to this same network
as well as Jeffrey Epstein.
The Clintons' own involvement in Iran-Contra revolved around the covert activities at
Arkansas' Mena Airport, which involved the CIA front company Southern Air Transport and
occurred while Clinton was governor. Just a few years into the Clinton presidential
administration, Leslie Wexner and Jeffrey Epstein would play a major role in Southern Air
Transport's relocation to Columbus, Ohio, leading to concerns among top Ohio officials that
both men were not only working with the CIA, but that Wexner's company, The Limited, sought to
use the CIA-linked airline for smuggling.
During that same period of time, Epstein had already forged close ties to important Clinton
White House officials and prominent Clinton donors like Lynn Forester de Rothschild and made
several personal visits to the official presidential residence.
Some of these ties appear related to Epstein's shady financial activities, particularly
involving currency markets and offshore tax havens -- activities he began to perfect while
working for prominent Iran-Contra figures in the early 1980s, several of whom were tied to the
CIA-linked bank Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) and had known relationships
with Israeli intelligence, namely the Mossad. The nature of Epstein's work for these
individuals and other evidence strongly suggests that Epstein himself had a relationship with
BCCI after leaving Bear Stearns and prior to the bank's collapse in 1991.
Of particular importance are Epstein's relationship to the Clinton Foundation and the
alleged role of Epstein's Virgin Islands-based hedge fund and the Clinton Foundation in money
laundering activity, a relationship still under investigation by MintPress .
It is this tale of intrigue that fully reveals the extent to which this decades-old alliance
between organized crime, the CIA, and Israeli intelligence has corrupted and influenced
politicians of both political parties, both through the use of sexual blackmail and through
other means of coercion.
Far from being the work of a single intelligence agency or a single country, the power
structure revealed by this network connected to Epstein is nothing less than a criminal
enterprise that transcends nationality and is willing to use and abuse children in the pursuit
of ever more power, wealth and control. Existing for decades and willing to use any means
necessary to cover its tracks, this criminal racket has become so integrated into the levers of
power, in the United States and well beyond, that it is truly too big to fail.
When one thinks back to the now-famous Iran-Contra scandal, names like Ronald Reagan, Oliver
North and Barry Seal comes to mind, but former President Bill Clinton also played an outsized
role in the scandal -- using his home state of Arkansas, where he was then serving as governor,
as a sort of rallying point for the CIA's U.S.-side of the Central American operation.
In fact, during Clinton's reign as governor a small town called Mena, nestled in the Ozark
Mountains west of Arkansas' capital Little Rock, would be propelled into the national spotlight
as a hub for drug and arms smuggling and the training of CIA-backed far-right militias.
Under the close watch of the CIA, then led by William Casey, the Mena Intermountain Regional
Airport was used to stockpile
and deliver arms and ammunition to the Nicaraguan Contras. The arms were sometimes exchanged
for cocaine from South American cartels, which would then be sent back to Mena and used to fund
the covert CIA operation.
Though efforts have been made to dismiss Clinton's role in the scandal, his direct
intervention in the Contras' attempts to overthrow the Sandinista government of Nicaragua
suggests Clinton had some sort of personal stake in the efforts and was unlikely aloof to the
major smuggling operation taking place in his state while he had been governor. In fact, while
governor, Clinton split with many other state governments in
sending a contingency of the Arkansas National Guard to Honduras to train the Nicaraguan
Contras on how to overthrow their Sandinista government. Clinton would also discuss his
first-hand knowledge of the operation with now-Trump administration Attorney General William
Barr.
Much of this channeling of both weapons and drugs was carried out by notorious drug smuggler
and alleged CIA/DEA operative Barry Seal. According to the book Whiteout: the CIA,
Drugs and the Press by Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair:
A federal investigation aided by the Arkansas State Police established that Barry Seal, a
drug dealer working for the Medellin cartel as well as with the C.I.A. and the D.E.A., had
his planes retrofitted at Mena for drug drops, trained pilots there and laundered his profits
partly through financial institutions in Arkansas. Seal, at this time was in close contact
with [Oliver] North, who acknowledged the relationship in his memoir. These were the years in
which North was constructing his covert supply lines for the contras."
Seal was known to use aircraft that belonged to the company Southern Air Transport and he
also employed flight crews that worked for that same company. Southern Air Transport, formerly
Air America, was once directly owned by the CIA and today is remembered for being a CIA front
during Iran-Contra. Less known is the relationship between the CIA-linked airline and Leslie
Wexner and his then-close associate Jeffrey Epstein, which will be discussed in detail later in
this report.
Seal seemed to always operate with much less than six degrees of separation from Clinton
while the latter served as governor. In his 1999 confessional expose, Cross-fire: Witness
in the Clinton Investigation, former Arkansas policeman turned personal driver
and security guard for Bill Clinton, L.D. Brown, recounts how Clinton encouraged him to seek
out a post at the CIA. Clinton allegedly went so far as to edit the essay Brown wrote for this
employment application. The essay topic was drug smuggling in Central America. Upon receiving
his application, the CIA put Brown in touch with none other than Barry Seal. Seal would later
be gunned down in 1986 while serving six-months probation for drug-smuggling charges.
Seal was not the only affiliate of Oliver North running a Contra-connected operation in
Arkansas. Terry Reed, who had worked for North since 1983, claimed to have been put in touch
with Seal by North and established a base just 10 miles north of Mena -- in Nella, Arkansas --
where "Nicaraguan Contras and other recruits from Latin American were trained in resupply
missions, night landings, precision paradrops and similar maneuvers," according to Cockburn and
St. Clair. Reed further asserted that drug money was being laundered through Arkansas financial
institutions.
After Clinton's half-brother Roger was busted for cocaine smuggling (Clinton would later
pardon him while president) the CIA sought to move Contra operations out of Arkansas, hoping to
put a damper on the increasingly public and sloppy Arkansas-based operation. According to Terry
Reed in his book Compromised: Clinton, Bush and the CIA , co-written with John Cummings, a hushed
meeting was held in a bunker at Camp Robinson in North Little Rock, Arkansas. During the
meeting, William Barr, who represented himself as the emissary of then-CIA Director Bill Casey
told Clinton:
The deal we made was to launder our money through your bond business but what we didn't
plan on was you and your n****r here start taking yourselves seriously and purposely
shrinking our laundry."
Barr chastised Clinton for his sloppy handling of the delicate operation and his
half-brother's very public fall from grace. He would later tell Clinton,
according to Reed ,
Bill, you are Mr. Casey's fair-haired boy You and your state have been our greatest asset.
Mr. Casey wanted me to pass on to you that unless you fuck up and do something stupid, you're
No. 1 on the short list for a shot at the job that you've always wanted. You and guys like
you are the fathers of the new government. We are the new covenant."
Attempts to investigate Clinton's role in the Mena operations and more broadly in the
Iran-Contra affair were allegedly axed by Clinton's own confidantes, who consistently denied he
played a role in the scandal. According to the Wall Street Journal , former IRS
investigator William Duncan teamed with Arkansas State Police Investigator Russell Welch in
what became a decade-long battle to bring the matter to light. In fact, of the nine separate
state and federal probes into the affair, all failed.
Duncan would later say of the investigations, "[They] were interfered with and covered up,
and the justice system was subverted," and a 1992 memo from Duncan to high-ranking members of
the attorney general's staff notes that Duncan was instructed "to remove all files concerning
the Mena investigation from the attorney general's office." The attorney general, serving under
George H. W. Bush, at that time was William Barr, who is
currently attorney general under Trump.
Another Clinton connection to the CIA and the Iran-Contra affair runs through the family's
connection to Arkansas financier Jackson Stephens and the CIA-linked Bank of
Credit and Commerce International (BCCI), which critics nicknamed the "Bank of Crooks and
Criminals International." Stephens was among the richest people in Arkansas and was also a
major donor and backer of Ronald
Reagan, George H.W. Bush and Bill
Clinton . He also played a key role in the rise of
Walmart .
Jackson Stephens and other members of the Stephens family bankrolled
Bill Clinton's rise to political prominence , contributing large sums of money to both
Clinton's gubernatorial and his later presidential campaigns. In addition, Worthen Bank, which
was majority-owned by Stephens, provided Clinton's first presidential campaign a $3.5 million
line of credit. In addition, Stephens' many businesses were frequently represented by the Rose
Law Firm, where Hillary Clinton was a partner.
A redacted
FBI report from 1998 describes Stephens as having "lengthy and continuing ties to the
Clinton administration and associates" and also discusses allegations that Stephens has been
involved in the "illegal handling of campaign contributions to the Democratic National
Party."
BCCI had originally been founded by a group of bankers from Pakistan, though Newsweeklater reported
that CIA officials appeared to have been involved in the bank's founding and that BCCI founder
Agha Hasan Abedi had been encouraged by the CIA to found the bank after "the agency realized
that an international bank could provide valuable cover for intelligence operations." CIA
documents that later surfaced during congressional hearings on the bank's activities and
related scandals stated
that BCCI was directly involved in "money laundering, narco-financing, gunrunning and
holding large sums of money for terrorist groups."

District Court
Though BCCI was known for its CIA links, Catherine Austin Fitts -- former Assistant
Secretary for Housing–Federal Housing Commissioner at HUD during the George H. W. Bush
administration, and investment banker with the firms Hamilton Securities Group and Dillon, Read
& Co. -- believes that those links went well beyond the CIA. Fitts -- who was placed on the
board of the BCCI subsidiary First American Bank following BCCI's collapse -- told
MintPress that, after reading through troves of documents regarding the bank's
activities prior to its implosion, it was clear to her that there was "no way" its clandestine
activities were carried on without the full knowledge of the Federal Reserve, specifically the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and the White House.
BCCI also played a key role in the
Iran-Contra affair and accounts of the bank were used to send payoffs to individuals linked to
the scheme. Adnan Khashoggi, a key figure and intermediary in the scandal, used one BCCI
account to move more than $20 million related to illegal arms sales and BCCI created fake
documentation, including checks signed by Oliver North, allowing the sale to go forward. The
bank later, when its activities subsequently came under congressional scrutiny, claimed it had
no records of these transactions.
In addition, BCCI appears to have been involved in the sex trafficking of underage girls,
including girls that had not yet reached puberty. According to the report entitled " The BCCI Affair ," by
then-U.S. Senators John Kerry (D-MA) and Hank Brown (R-CO), BCCI officials were alleged to have
obtained leverage with powerful individuals, including prominent members of the ruling families
of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), by providing them with young virgins.
According to one U.S. investigator with substantial knowledge of BCCI's activities, some
BCCI officials have acknowledged that some of the females provided some members of the
Al-Nahyan family [one of the ruling families in the UAE] were young girls who had not yet
reached puberty, and in certain cases, were physically injured by the experience. The
official said that former BCCI officials had told him that BCCI also provided males to
homosexual VIPs."
BCCI was largely brought into the United States business community through the efforts of
Jackson Stephens and Bert Lance, former budget director for Jimmy Carter, who assisted with
BCCI's acquisition of First American Bank. The law firm
involved in this effort was Arkansas' Rose Law Firm and it involved several of the firm's
lawyers, including Hillary Rodham Clinton, Webster Hubbell and C.J. Giroir. Also involved in
the effort was Clark Clifford, former Secretary of Defense under Lyndon B. Johnson, and Kamal
Adham, former director general of Saudi intelligence.
One of the men added to the BCCI board after the acquisition of First American Bank was
Robert Keith Gray, whom Newsweek
described as often having "boasted of his close relationship with the CIA's William Casey;
Gray used to say that before taking on a foreign client, he would clear it with Casey." As was
discussed in Part
II of this series, Gray was also an expert in homosexual blackmail operations for the CIA
and was reported to have collaborated with Roy Cohn in those activities. Some of Gray's clients
at the powerful PR firm he led, Hill & Knowlton, included BCCI clients and Mossad-linked
individuals, such as Adnan Khashoggi and Marc Rich.
While the Rose Law Firm was assisting BCCI's entrance into the American financial system, it
also represented the Stephens-owned financial services company, Stephens Inc., as well as
the data-processing company Systematics Inc., which Stephens acquired in the late 1960s.
According to James Norman in his book The Oil Card: Global Economic Warfare in the 21st Century , Systematics was "a
primary vehicle or front company for the National Security Agency in the 1980s and early 1990s
to market and implant bugged software in the world's major money-center banks and
clearinghouses as part of the Reagan/Bush 'follow the money' effort to break the Soviets."
The late journalist Michael Ruppert
asserted that this "bugged software" was none other than the Promis software, which both
U.S. and Israeli intelligence had bugged in order to spy on intelligence and which had been
marketed in part by Robert Maxwell, father of Jeffrey Epstein's madam, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Ruppert cited Systematics as "a primary developer of Promis for financial intelligence use."
Promis had originally been leased by Inslaw Inc., a small software company founded by Bill
Hamilton, to the Department of Justice -- which later stole it from Inslaw, forcing it to
declare bankruptcy.
According to a 1995
document sent on behalf of Inslaw's founders to then-independent Counsel Ken Starr that
asked him to review Inslaw's case, Systematics had "covertly implanted [software] into the
computers of its bank customers" that allowed "allied intelligence agencies surreptitiously to
track and monitor the flow of money through the banking system" and had done so at "the behest
of the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) and its partner in Israeli intelligence." Inslaw
also stated that the software was used by these same intelligence agencies in the "laundering
of money, especially drug profits."
Systematics also had a subsidiary in Israel that, according to a former Israeli intelligence
officer, was operated by
contractors for the Mossad and sold software to banks and telecommunications companies.
According to Richardson's letter, that Israeli subsidiary of Systematics also had a
Massachusetts-based front company, which was partially owned by a former U.S. intelligence
official.
Two partners in the Rose Law Firm who would later serve in the Clinton administration, Vince
Foster and Webster Hubbell, acquired
significant financial interests in Systematics through ownership in Alltel, which purchased
Systematics in the early 1990s. The Hamiltons also provide considerable evidence that Foster's
distress prior to his death in 1993 appears to have been related to concerns about litigation
involving Systematics and the on-going litigation over Promis' theft.
BCCI itself was known to employ the Promis software after its theft by the DOJ; and one of
its subsidiaries, First American Bank, also " filtered PROMIS money
" -- i.e., laundered the money generated from the sale of the stolen Promis software --
according to the late journalist Danny Casolaro.
Casolaro had been investigating an international crime syndicate he termed " the
Octopus " at the time of his death in 1991. Casolaro believed that this "Octopus" involved
powerful individuals in the private and public sectors as well as the criminal underworld and
that they were collectively responsible for some of the biggest scandals of the 1980s,
including Iran-Contra, BCCI and the theft of the Promis software.
Casolaro had told friends and family that he was close to concluding his investigation and
several people close to him had seen documents involving money transfers involving BCCI and the
World Bank to people involved in these scandals, such as Earl Brian and Adnan Khashoggi.
Casolaro went to Martinsburg, Virginia to meet with some sources to get the final piece of the
puzzle and "bring back the head of the Octopus." Two days after arriving in Martinsburg, Casolaro was found dead in his hotel room and his
briefcase full of his research notes and evidence was missing. His death was ruled a
suicide.
Crime scene photos show deep lacerations in Casolaro's arms
Many, including Casolaro's family, do not believe that Casolaro committed suicide. A week
before his death, Casolaro told his brother he had been receiving death threats and the manner
in which he died, deep slashes in his arms, was not consistent with Casolaro's well-known
squeamishness around even minor amounts of blood. Speculation only grew following the
FBI investigation , given that the FBI lied to Congress, pressured its own agents not to
question whether it was a suicide and lost 90 percent of its files related to Casolaro's death
-- among other glaring inconsistencies.
In a 1994
letter provided to MintPress by Inslaw Inc., Inslaw lawyer Charles Work told
then-Assistant Attorney General John Dwyer that one of Inslaw's confidential sources in
government had stated that Casolaro had been injected with a substance that deadened his nerves
from the neck down, explaining the apparent lack of struggle and that the substance used had
come from the U.S. Army inventory. The person who had arranged Casolaro's final meeting before
his death was a U.S. military intelligence officer named Joseph Cuellar.
The same year that Casolaro died, there were several other suspicious deaths involving
people directly connected to the Promis scandal or involved in Casolaro's investigation of "the
Octopus" -- including Alan Standorf , one of
Casolaro's sources;
Robert Maxwell , father of Ghislaine Maxwell, Mossad operative, and salesman of the bugged
Promis software; and
John Tower -- the former Texas senator who
assisted Maxwell in selling the bugged Promis software to the Los Alamos
laboratories.
While the role Arkansas played in Iran-Contra is one aspect of the scandal that is often
overlooked, so to is the key role played by Israeli intelligence-linked arms dealers and
smugglers who would later be connected to powerful individuals in the Mega Group and Jeffrey
Epstein, such as Marc Rich and Adnan Khashoggi.
One of the key players in the Iran-Contra affair was Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi,
uncle of the slain Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. One lesser known fact
about Adnan Khashoggi is that, at the time of his Iran-Contra dealings, he was working for the
Israeli Mossad, according to former Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky.
Ostrovsky, in his #1 New York Times bestseller " By Way of Deception ," notes that
Khashoggi had been recruited by the Mossad years before and that his private jet had been
fitted in Israel. In relation to Iran-Contra, Ostrovsky claims that it was a $5 million
bridge loan that Khashoggi provided that helped to overcome the lack of trust between Israel
and Iran during the initial arms deals in the early 1980s, and thus his participation was
critical to the success of the scheme.
According to journalist Vicky Ward ,
Adnan Khashoggi was a client of Jeffrey Epstein's in the early 1980s, not long after Epstein's
departure from Bear Stearns in 1981. The reason Epstein left the bank remains murky. Though
some former Bear Stearns employees claim he was fired, others -- including Epstein himself --
claimed that he resigned of his own volition.
Ward suggests that Epstein may have left the bank owing to a Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) investigation into insider trading in a case that involved a tender offer
placed by the Seagrams corporation for St. Joe Minerals Corp. Seagrams owner Edgar Bronfman,
son of Meyer Lansky associate Samuel Bronfman and member of the Mega Group, had tipped off
several investors and bankers of the coming tender offer. Epstein resigned from Bear Stearns
the day after the SEC opened the case and later claimed he had left the company as a result of
a relatively minor "Reg D" violation and rumors that he had an "illicit affair with a
secretary."
The SEC never brought any charges against anyone at Bear Stearns for insider trading in
St. Joe, but its questioning seems to indicate that it was skeptical of Epstein's answers.
Some sources have wondered why, if he was such a big producer at Bear Stearns, he would have
given it up over a mere $2,500 fine."
Regardless of the exact reason for Epstein's sudden departure, it was immediately after he
left the bank that "the details [of Epstein's work history] recede into shadow. A few of the
handful of current friends who have known him since the early 1980s recall that he used to tell
them he was a "bounty hunter," recovering lost or stolen money for the government or for very
rich people. He has a license to carry a firearm."
Writing
in Salon , a former friend of Epstein's, Jesse Kornbluth, also stated that Epstein
had claimed to be a "bounty hunter" for the rich and powerful:
When we met in 1986, Epstein's double identity intrigued me -- he said he didn't just
manage money for clients with mega-fortunes, he was also a high-level bounty hunter .
Sometimes, he told me, he worked for governments to recover money looted by African
dictators. Other times those dictators hired him to help them hide their stolen money
." (emphasis added)
One of Epstein's clients after leaving Bear Stearns, per Ward's sources, was the
CIA/Mossad-linked Khashoggi at the very time that Khashoggi was involved in Iran-Contra, an
operation involving both U.S. and Israeli intelligence. British journalist Nigel Rosser
reported in January 2001 in the Evening Standard that Epstein had claimed that he was
also working for the CIA during this same time period.
Since Epstein's arrest, records of Rosser's article have been scrubbed from British
newspaper archives, including the Evening Standard 's own. However, MintPress
independently confirmed with Bob Fitrakis, whom Rosser had interviewed for the article in
question, that the article did allege that Epstein used to claim he worked for the CIA. In
addition, other reports from the time period cited excerpts of Rosser's article, including the
reference to Epstein's past claims of involvement with the CIA.
Specifically, Rosser's article had included the following passage:
He [Epstein] has a license to carry a concealed weapon, once claimed to have worked for
the CIA, although he now denies it – and owns properties all over America. Once he
arrived at the London home of a British arms dealer bringing a gift – a New York
police-issue pump-action riot gun. 'God knows how he got it into the country,' a friend
said."
Though Epstein denied past connections to the CIA at the time Rosser's article was
published, it is worth mentioning that Robert Maxwell -- father of Ghislaine Maxwell and
long-time Mossad operative -- also vehemently denied his now well-documented links to Israeli
intelligence until his death. Furthermore, as will be shown later in this article, Epstein and
his only known billionaire "client," Leslie Wexner, would later forge a business relationship
with the CIA front company Southern Air Transport and play a major role in the airline's
relocation to Columbus, Ohio in the mid-1990s. During that period, two prominent Ohio officials
believed that both Epstein and Wexner were working with the CIA, according to Ohio-based
journalist Bob Fitrakis.
Past claims and evidence of Epstein's involvement with the CIA, coupled with his time as a
"shadowy" financial fixer for double-asset Khashoggi, strongly suggest that, whatever Epstein
was doing for Khashoggi during this time, it likely involved BCCI. According to " The BCCI Affair "
report, Khashoggi "acted as the middleman for five Iranian arms deals for the United States,
financing a number of them through BCCI" and "served as the 'banker' for arms shipments as the
undercover scheme developed." The report continued:
Khashoggi and [another Iran-Contra arms dealer Manucher] Ghorbanifer performed a central
role for the U.S. government in connection with the Iran-Contra affair in operations that
involved the direct participation of CIA personnel [and both Khashoggi and Ghorbanifer]
banked at BCCI's offices in Monte Carlo and, for both, BCCI's services were essential as a
means of providing short-term credit for sales from the U.S. through Israel to Iran."

This connection is even more likely given the fact that Bear Stearns -- Epstein's previous
employer right up until he became a financial fixer for Khashoggi and other powerful people --
also worked directly with BCCI during this period. Indeed, Bear Stearns
served as a broker to BCCI, a fact that remained hidden until a lengthy court battle in the
U.K. concluded in 2011 and forced the government's "Sandstorm Report" about BCCI's activities
to unredact the names of Bear Stearns and other institutions, individuals and countries that
had done business with the CIA-linked bank.
Furthermore, there is the additional fact that BCCI trafficked underage girls for sex as a
means of obtaining favors from and gaining leverage over powerful individuals, something in
which Epstein would later become deeply involved. As was shown in Part
II of this series, several individuals who were running either sexual blackmail operations
involving minors or child trafficking operations were connected to CIA front companies like
BCCI, other organizations connected to the Iran-Contra scandal, and several individuals close
to the Reagan White House.
The CIA director at the time, Bill Casey, was a close friend of Roy Cohn, who also ran the
sexual blackmail operation involving underage boys out of Manhattan's Plaza Hotel, described in
Part
I of this series. According to Cohn's long-time secretary Christine Seymour, Casey was one
of Cohn's most frequent callers.
Another fact that further suggests that Epstein had connections to BCCI is that Epstein was
known to have been close to other arms dealers of the period and BCCI was frequently used
specifically for covert arms deals. After the bank's collapse in 1991, an article in
Time magazine entitled "BCCI: The Dirtiest Bank of All" noted the following:
[T]he CIA may have used B.C.C.I. as more than an undercover banker: U.S. agents
collaborated with the black network in several operations, according to a B.C.C.I.
black-network "officer" who is now a secret U.S. government witness. Sources have told
investigators that B.C.C.I. worked closely with Israel's spy agencies and other Western
intelligence groups as well, especially in arms deals ." (emphasis added)
One of the arms dealers that Epstein apparently knew quite well was the British arms dealer
Sir Douglas Leese. Leese was involved in brokering the first of a series of controversial
British arms deals that
involved Khashoggi , known as the Al Yamamah Deal and allegedly involving bribery of
members of the Saudi royal family and top Saudi officials. In addition to Khashoggi, several of
those officials and royal family members had deep ties to BCCI.
Later iterations of that arms deal were allegedly brokered with the involvement of Prince
Charles of the British royal family, and corruption investigations into Al Yamamah were later
shut down by the efforts of Tony Blair as well as Prince Andrew. Leese is said to
have spoken of Epstein's "genius" and lack of morals when he introduced him to Steve
Hoffenberg of Tower Financial, and soon after that introduction Hoffenberg hired Epstein.
Two years after BCCI's fraud-driven collapse, Tower Financial imploded in 1993 in what is
still considered to be one of the largest Ponzi schemes in American history. Hoffenberg
later asserted in court that Epstein had been intimately involved in Tower's shady
financial practices and had called Epstein the "architect of the scam." However, by the time
Tower Financial had collapsed, Epstein was no longer working for the company. Despite
Hoffenberg's testimony and abundant evidence regarding Epstein's role in the scheme, Epstein's
name was mysteriously dropped from the case.
Given that Epstein allegedly received his "sweetheart deal" in 2008 as a result of having
"belonged to intelligence," Epstein's activities in the 1980s and early 1990s suggest that his
ability to avoid charges in relation to the Tower Financial Ponzi scheme may have been for
similar reasons.
Though Hoffenberg claims that he met Epstein through Leese, Epstein himself claimed that
he had met the convicted fraudster through John Mitchell, former attorney general under Richard
Nixon.
As was noted in Part
II of this series, Mitchell was a "friend" of disgraced Washington lobbyist Craig Spence,
according to Spence before his fall from grace. Spence, for much of the 1980s, ran a sexual
blackmail operation in D.C. involving underage boys and had taken some of those "call boys" on
midnight tours of the White House that he said had been arranged by then-National Security
Adviser Donald Gregg. Spence, after his trafficking and exploitation of minors was exposed,
died under mysterious circumstances. His death was quickly labeled a suicide, not unlike
Jeffrey Epstein's.
While the state of Arkansas became a hub for CIA activity during the Reagan years and the
Iran-Contra scandal, another state appeared to take its place in the 1990s -- Ohio. Just as
Arkansas oligarch Jackson Stephens helped attract the CIA to his home state during Iran-Contra,
it was also an Ohio oligarch and his close associate that helped attract the CIA to the Buckeye
State. Those men were Leslie Wexner and Jeffrey Epstein, respectively.
In
Part III of this series, MintPress detailed Wexner's alleged ties to organized crime
and his links to the still unsolved homicide of Columbus, Ohio lawyer Arthur Shapiro. Shapiro,
who was representing Wexner's company "The Limited" at the time of his death, was set to
testify before a grand jury about tax evasion and his involvement with "questionable tax
shelters." Columbus police described the Shapiro murder as "a Mafia 'hit'" and a suppressed
police report implicated Wexner and his business associates as being involved in or benefiting
from Shapiro's death, and as having links to prominent New York-based crime syndicates.
However, Wexner and The Limited also appear to have had a relationship with the CIA. In
1995, Southern Air Transport (SAT) -- a well-known front company for the CIA --
relocated from Miami, Florida to Columbus, Ohio. First founded in the late 1940s, SAT from
1960 until 1973 was
directly owned by the CIA, which sought to use the company as a cover for covert
operations. After 1973, the company was placed in private hands, although all of its subsequent
owners would have CIA ties, including James Bastian, a former lawyer for the CIA, who owned SAT
at the time of its relocation to Ohio.
SAT was intimately involved in the Iran-Contra affair, having been used to funnel
weapons and drugs to and from the Nicaraguan Contras under the guise of delivering
"humanitarian aid," while also sending American weapons to Israel that were then sold to Iran
in violation of the U.S. arms embargo. In 1986 alone, SAT
transported from Texas to Israel 90 tons of TOW anti-tank missiles, which were then sold to
Iran by Israel and Mossad-linked intermediaries like Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi.
Even though the airline's CIA links were well known, Leslie Wexner's company, The Limited,
sought to coax SAT to relocate its headquarters from Miami, Florida to Columbus, Ohio, a move
that was realized in 1995. When Edmund James, president of James and Donohew Development
Services,
told the Columbus Dispatch in March 1995 that SAT was relocating to Columbus'
Rickenbacker airfield, he stated that "Southern Air's new presence at Rickenbacker begins in
April with two regularly scheduled 747 cargo flights a week from Hong Kong," citing SAT
President William Langton. "By fall, that could increase to four a week. Negotiations are
underway for flights out of Rickenbacker to the Far East Much of the Hong Kong-to-Rickenbacker
cargo will be for The Limited," Wexner's clothing company. "This is a big story for central
Ohio. It's huge, actually," James said at the time.
The day following the press conference, Brian Clancy, working as a cargo analyst with
MergeGlobal Inc.,
told the Journal of Commerce that the reason for SAT's relocation to Ohio was
largely the result of the lucrative Hong Kong-to-Columbus route that SAT would run for Wexner's
company. Clancy specifically stated that the fact that "[The] Limited Inc., the nation's
largest retailer, is based in Columbus undoubtedly contributed in large part to Southern Air's
decision."
According to documents obtained by journalist Bob Fitrakis from the
Rickenbacker Port Authority, Ohio's government also tried to sweeten the deal to bring SAT to
Columbus in order to please powerful Ohio businessmen like Wexner. Orchestrated by Governor
George Voinovich's then-Chief of Staff Paul Mifsud, the Rickenbacker Port Authority and the
Ohio Department of Development created a package of several financial incentives, funded by
Ohio taxpayers, to lure the airline to relocate to Ohio. The Journal of Commercedescribed the
"generous package of incentives from the state of Ohio" as "including a 75 percent credit
against its corporate tax liability for the next 10 years, a $5 million low-interest loan, and
a $400,000 job-training grant."In 1996, then-SAT spokesman David Sweet had told Fitrakis that the CIA-linked airline had
only moved to Columbus because "the deal [put together by the development department] was too
good to turn down."
Though SAT had promised Ohio's government that it would create 300 jobs in three years, it
quickly laid off numerous workers and failed to construct the maintenance facility it had
promised, even though it had already accepted $3.5 million in taxpayer funds for that and other
projects. As the company's financial problems mounted, Ohio's government declined to recoup the
millions in dollars it loaned the company, even after it was alleged that $32 million in the
bank account of Mary Bastian, the wife of SAT's owner and former CIA lawyer James Bastian,
were actually company funds . On October 1, 1998, SAT filed for bankruptcy. It was the very
same day that the CIA's Inspector General had published a comprehensive report on the airline's
illicit involvement in drug trafficking.
Furthermore, Fitrakis noted that in addition to Wexner the other main figures who were key in securing
SAT's relocation to Ohio were Alan D. Fiers Jr., a former chief of the CIA Central American
Task Force, and retired Air Force Major General Richard Secord, head of air logistics for SAT's
covert action in Laos between 1966 and 1968, while the company was still known as Air America.
Secord was also the air logistics coordinator in the illegal Contra resupply network for Oliver
North during Iran-Contra. Fiers was one of the key individuals involved in Iran-Contra who was
later pardoned by George H.W. Bush with the assistance of then-Attorney General Bill Barr. Barr
-- currently serving as attorney general in the Trump administration, and top of the chain of
DOJ command in the investigation of Epstein's death in prison -- has refused to recuse himself
from the investigation into Epstein's network and his recent death.
Despite the involvement of these CIA-linked men, as well as the organized crime-linked
Leslie Wexner, the then-president of SAT
told the Columbus Dispatch that the airline was "no longer connected to the
CIA."
Notably, It was during this same time that Epstein exerted substantial control over Wexner's
finances; and, according to Fitrakis and his extensive reporting on Wexner from this period, it
was Epstein who orchestrated logistics for Wexner's business operations, including The Limited.
As was revealed in the Arthur Shapiro murder file and in ties between SAT and The Limited, much
of The Limited's logistics involved figures and companies connected to organized crime and U.S.
intelligence. It is also important to note that SAT was well-known for being a CIA front
company prior to the efforts of Wexner et al. to bring the airline to Columbus, and that, a few
years prior, Epstein himself had previously worked for intelligence-linked figures also
involved in Iran-Contra, such as Adnan Khashoggi.
In addition, during this time period, Epstein had already begun to live in the now infamous
New York penthouse that had first been purchased by Wexner in 1989. Wexner had apparently
installed CCTV and recording equipment in an odd bathroom in the home after his purchase, and
never lived in the home, as was noted in
Part III of this series.
In an exclusive interview, Bob Fitrakis told MintPress that Epstein and Wexner's
involvement with SAT's relocation to Ohio had caused suspicion among some prominent state and
local officials that the two were working with U.S. intelligence. Fitrakis specifically stated
that then-Ohio Inspector General David Strutz and then-Sheriff of Franklin County Earl Smith
had personally told him that they believed that both Epstein and Wexner had ties to the CIA.
These claims further corroborate what was first reported by Nigel Rosser in the Evening
Standard that Epstein had claimed to have worked for the CIA in the past.
Fitrakis also told MintPress that Strutz had referred to SAT's route between Hong
Kong and Columbus on behalf of Wexner's company The Limited as "the Meyer Lansky run," as he
believed that Wexner's association with SAT was related to his ties to elements of organized
crime that were connected to the Lansky-created National Crime Syndicate. In addition,
Catherine Austin Fitts -- the former investment banker and government official, who has
extensively investigated the intersection of organized crime, black markets, Wall Street and
the government in the U.S. economy -- was told by an ex-CIA employee that Wexner was one of
five key managers of organized crime cash flows in the United States.
As this series has noted in previous reports, Meyer Lansky was a pioneer of sexual blackmail
operations and was deeply connected to both U.S. intelligence and Israel's Mossad. Furthermore,
many members of the so-called Mega Group, which Wexner co-founded, had direct ties to the
Lansky crime syndicate.
Another shadowy figure with connections to the Mega Group, Mossad, U.S. intelligence and
organized crime is the "fugitive financier" Marc Rich, whose pardon during the last days of the
Clinton White House is both well-known and still mired in controversy years after the fact.
Marc Rich was a commodities trader and hedge fund manager best known for founding the
commodity trading and mining giant Glencore and for doing business with numerous dictatorships,
often in violation of sanctions. He worked particularly closely with Israel and, according to
Haaretz :
In the years after the 1973 Yom Kippur War and the ensuing global Arab oil embargo, a
period when nobody wanted to sell oil to Israel, for almost 20 years Rich was the main source
of the country's oil and energy needs."
It was that trading on Israel's behalf that would ultimately lead to Rich being charged in
1983 for violating the U.S. oil embargo on Iran by selling Iranian oil to Israel. Rich was also
charged with tax evasion, wire fraud, racketeering and several other crimes.
Haaretz
also noted that Rich's businesses were "a source of funding for secret financial
arrangements" and that "his worldwide offices, according to several reliable sources,
frequently served Mossad agents, with his consent." Rich had more direct ties to the Mossad as
well. For instance, his foundation -- the Rich Foundation -- was run by the former Mossad agent
Avner Azulay. Rich was also friendly with prominent Israel politicians, including former Prime
Ministers Menachem Begin and Ehud Barak, and was
a frequent provider of "services" for Israeli intelligence, services he freely
volunteered.
Marc Rich, right, is pictured with Israel's Shimon Peres in a photo from Mark
Daneil Ammann's "The King of Oil."
According to Rich's biographer, Daniel Ammann, Rich also fed information to U.S.
intelligence but declined to give specifics. "He did not want to tell with whom he cooperated
within the U.S. authorities or which branch of the U.S. government he supplied with
intelligence," Ammann said in an interview with the Daily
Beast .
One clue as to the nature of Rich's relationship to U.S. intelligence is his apparent ties
to BCCI. "The BCCI Affair" report mentions Rich as a person to investigate in relation to the
bank and states :
BCCI lending to Rich in the 1980s amounted to tens of millions of dollars. Moreover,
Rich's commodities firms were used by BCCI in connection with BCCI's involv[ement] in U.S.
guarantee programs through the Department of Agriculture. The nature and extent of Rich's
relationship with BCCI requires further investigation."
Rich was also deeply tied to the Mega Group, as he was one of the main donors to the
Birthright Israel charity along with Mega Group co-founder Charles Bronfman and Mega Group
member Michael Steinhardt. Steinhardt was particularly close to Rich, first meeting the
commodities trader in the 1970s and
then managing $3 million for Rich, Rich's then-wife Denise, and Rich's father-in-law from
the early 1980s to the mid-1990s through his hedge fund. In the late 1990s, Steinhardt would
enlist other Mega Group members, such as Edgar Bronfman, in the effort to settle the criminal
charges against Rich, which eventually came to pass with Clinton's controversial pardon in
2001. Steinhardt claimed to have
come up with the idea of a presidential pardon for Rich in late 2000.
Rich's pardon was controversial for several reasons, and many mainstream outlets asserted
that it "reeked of payoff." As
the New York Post noted in 2016, in the run-up to the presidential pardon the
financier's ex-wife Denise had donated $450,000 to the fledgling Clinton Library and "over $1
million to Democratic campaigns in the Clinton era." In addition, Rich had hired high-powered
lawyers with links to powerful individuals in both the Democratic and Republican parties as
well as the Clinton White House, including Jack Quinn, who has previously served as general
counsel to the Clinton administration and as former chief of staff to Vice President Al
Gore.
However, per
Clinton's own words and other supporting evidence, the main reason behind the Rich pardon
was the heavy lobbying from Israeli intelligence, Israeli politicians and members of the Mega
Group like Steinhardt, with the donations from Denise Rich and Quinn's access to the president
likely sweetening the deal.
Among the most ardent
lobbyists for Rich's pardon were then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, former Prime
Minister Shimon Peres, then-Mayor of Jerusalem Ehud Olmert, then-former Foreign Minister Shlomo
Ben-Ami and former Director of the Mossad Shabtai Shavit. According to Haaretz , Barak was so adamant that Clinton pardon Marc Rich that he was heard
shouting at the president on at least one occasion. Former adviser to Barak, Eldad Yaniv,
claimed that Barak had shouted that the pardon was "important Not only from the financial
aspect, but also because he helped the Mossad in more than one instance."
The Israel lobbying effort had considerable help from Mega Group member Michael Steinhardt
as well as Abe Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which was at the time heavily funded
by Mega Group members, including Ronald Lauder and Edgar Bronfman.
There has been speculation for years that Clinton's decision to pardon Rich may have been
the result of "leverage" or blackmail that Israel had acquired on the then-president's
activities. As was noted in
Part III of this report, the Mossad-linked "Mega" spy scandal broke in 1997, whereby
Israeli intelligence had been targeting Clinton's effort to broker a peace agreement between
Israel and Palestine and had sought to go to "Mega," likely a reference to the Mega Group, to
obtain a sensitive document.
In addition, Israel is known to have acquired phone conversations between Clinton and Monica
Lewinsky before their affair was made public. Author Daniel Halper -- relying on on-the-record
interviews with former officials and hundreds of pages of documents compiled in the event that
Lewinsky took legal action against Clinton -- determined
that Benjamin Netanyahu told Clinton that he had obtained recordings of the sexually-tinged
phone conversations during the Wye Plantation talks between Israel and Palestine in 1998.
Netanyahu attempted to use this information to get Clinton to pardon convicted Israeli spy
Jonathan Pollard. Clinton considered pardoning Pollard but decided against it after CIA
Director George Tenet threatened to resign if the pardon was given.
Investigative journalist and author Gordon Thomas had
made similar claims years prior and asserted that the Mossad had obtained some 30 hours of
phone-sex conversations between Lewinsky and Clinton and used them as leverage. In addition,
a
report in Insight magazine in May 2000 claimed that Israeli intelligence had
"penetrated four White House telephone lines and was able to relay real-time conversations on
those lines from a remote site outside the White House directly to Israel for listening and
recording."
Those phone taps apparently went well beyond the White House, as revealed by a December 2001
investigative report by Carl Cameron for FOX News . According to
Cameron's report :
[Israeli telecommunications company Amdocs] helped Bell Atlantic install new telephone
lines in the White House in 1997 [and] a senior-level employee of Amdocs had a separate T1
data phone line installed from his base outside of St. Louis that was connected directly to
Israel
[I]nvestigators are looking into whether the owner of the T1 line had a 'real time'
capacity to intercept phone calls from both the White House and other government offices
around Washington, and sustained the line for some time, sources said. Sources familiar with
the investigation say FBI agents on the case sought an arrest warrant for the St. Louis
employee but [Clinton] Justice Department officials quashed it."
[Both Amdocs and Verint Inc. (formerly Comverse Infosys)] are based in Israel –
having arisen to prominence from that country's cornering of the information technology
market – and are heavily funded by the Israeli government, with connections to the
Israeli military and Israeli intelligence
The companies' operations, sources suggest, have been infiltrated by freelance spies
exploiting encrypted trapdoors in Verint/Amdocs technology and gathering data on Americans
for transfer to Israeli intelligence and other willing customers (particularly organized
crime)."
Given the extent of phone tapping of the U.S. government by Israeli intelligence-linked
companies and Netanyahu's previous use of intercepted phone calls to pressure Clinton to pardon
Jonathan Pollard, it is entirely reasonable to speculate that some other trove of intercepted
communications could have been used to push Clinton to pardon Rich in the final hours of his
presidency.
Also notable is the fact that several figures who heavily lobbied Clinton over the Rich
pardon had ties to Epstein, who also had ties to Israeli intelligence and Israeli
intelligence-linked tech companies, as discussed in
Part III of this series. For example, Ehud Barak, a close friend and business associate of
Epstein, and Shimon Peres, who introduced Barak to Epstein, were the major players in convincing Clinton to
pardon Marc Rich.
Furthermore, as will be shown in a subsequent section of this report, Jeffrey Epstein had
developed ties with the Clinton administration beginning in 1993 and those ties expanded,
particularly in 1996, when Epstein's intelligence-linked sexual blackmail operation was
underway. Clinton would later fly on Epstein's infamous private jet, nicknamed the "Lolita
Express," and Epstein would later donate to the Clinton Foundation and claim to have played
a key role in the creation of the Clinton Global Initiative.
In addition to the role of figures close to Epstein in securing Rich's pardon, Epstein
himself appeared to share some level of connection with Rich's former business partners. For
instance, Felix Posen -- who ran Rich's London operations for years and
whom Forbes described as "the architect of Rich's immensely profitable but suddenly
very controversial business with the Soviet Union" -- appears in
Epstein's book of contacts . In addition, Epstein's offshore structured investment vehicle
(SIV), Liquid Funding, has the same attorney and director as several Glencore entities :
Alex Erskine of the law firm
Appleby.
The significance of that connection, however, is unclear, given that Erskine was connected to a total of
274 offshore entities at the time of the "Paradise Papers" leak in 2014. Catherine Austin Fitts
told MintPress that it could suggest that Epstein's Liquid Funding -- 40 percent of
which
had been owned by Bear Stearns , and which may have received
a "secret" bail-out from the Federal Reserve -- is part of the same shadow economy
"syndicate" as Glencore.
This possibility merits further investigation, given that Glencore is partially
owned by British financier Nathaniel Rothschild, whose father, Jacob Rothschild, is on the
board of advisers of Genie Energy, which includes Michael Steinhardt as well as several alleged
associates of Epstein, such as Bill Richardson and Larry Summers. In addition, Nathaniel
Rothschild's cousin by marriage, Lynn Forester de Rothschild, is a long-time associate of
Jeffrey Epstein with considerable ties to the New York City "Roy Cohn machine." Marc Rich had
long-standing ties to the Rothschild family, going back to
the early 1970s when he began commodity trading at Philipp Brothers.
After Epstein's arrests first in 2007 and then again last month, numerous media reports
emerged detailing the links between Epstein and Clinton, with most asserting that they had met
not long after Clinton left office in 2001 and, as recently mentioned, issued the controversial
pardon of Marc Rich.
Those reports claimed that the Epstein-Clinton relationship had been facilitated by
Epstein's long-time girlfriend and alleged madam Ghislaine Maxwell. However, documents obtained
from the Clinton presidential library have revealed that the ties between Epstein and Clinton
date back years earlier and were facilitated by powerful individuals who have largely evaded
scrutiny in connection with the Epstein case.
One major player who has been largely overlooked in bringing Epstein and the Clintons
together is Lynn Forester de Rothschild. Notably, Forester de Rothschild has long been
connected to neoconservative Reagan era officials -- the Lewis Rosenstiel/Roy Cohn network
described in Parts 1 and 2 of this series, as well as the Mega Group, which was detailed in
Part 3 of this series.
Lynn Forester de Rothschild became involved in the world of Democratic Party politics in the
late 1970s when she
worked on the 1976 campaign of hawkish Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-NY) alongside
now-notorious neoconservatives like
Elliott Abrams , who would go on to play an important role in the Iran-Contra affair during
the Reagan era and later serve in the State Department under Trump. She was also introduced to
her second husband, Evelyn de Rothschild, by Henry Kissinger at a Bilderberg conference.
Several of the individuals connected to the Mega Group and the Mossad-linked media mogul Robert
Maxwell -- including Mark Palmer, Max Fisher and John Lehman -- were one-time aides or advisers
to Henry Kissinger.
Before marrying into the Rothschild family in 2000, Lynn
had previously been married to Andrew Stein, a major figure in New York Democratic
politics, with whom she had two sons. Andrew's brother, James Finkelstein, married Cathy Frank,
the granddaughter of Lewis Rosenstiel, the mob-linked businessman who ran a sexual blackmail
operation exploiting underage boys, as was discussed in Part 1 of this series. Rosenstiel's
protege Roy Cohn
was the lawyer for Cathy Frank and James Finkelstein and it was at their behest that Cohn
attempted to trick a nearly comatose Rosenstiel to into naming Cohn, Frank and Finkelstein the
executors and trustees of his estate, valued at $75 million (more than $334 million in today's
dollars).
According to the
New Yorker , Lynn Forester de Rothschild requested "financial help" from none other
than Jeffrey Epstein in 1993 during her divorce from Andrew Stein.
As far as Forester de Rothschild's ties to the Mega Group go, she is currently on the
board of directors of Estee Lauder companies, which was founded and is still owned by the
family of Ronald Lauder -- a member of the Mega Group, a former Reagan official, a family
friend of Roy Cohn, and the alleged source of Jeffrey Epstein's now-infamous Austrian passport.
In addition, Forester de Rothschild also partnered with Matthew
Bronfman -- son of Mega Group member Edgar Bronfman and grandson of Samuel Bronfman, who had
close ties to Meyer Lansky -- in creating the investment advisory firm Bronfman E.L. Rothschild
LP.
It is unclear when Lynn Forester de Rothschild first met Jeffrey Epstein, but she was one of
his leading advocates and had the ear of then-President Bill Clinton in the early 1990s,
speaking to Clinton specifically about Epstein during her "fifteen seconds of access" with the
president and also introducing Epstein to lawyer Alan Dershowitz in 1996.

Forester de Rothschild is a long-time associate of the Clintons and has been a major donor
to both Bill and Hillary Clinton since 1992. Their ties were so close that Forester de
Rothschild spent the first night of her honeymoon at the Lincoln Bedroom in the White House
while Clinton was president. Furthermore, a leaked email between Forester de Rothschild and
Hillary Clinton saw Clinton
request "penance" from Forester de Rothschild for asking Tony Blair to accompany Clinton on
official business while she was secretary of state, preventing Blair from making a planned
social visit to Forester de Rothschild's home in Aspen, Colorado. Humbly requesting forgiveness
is not something Hillary Clinton is known for, given that her former bodyguard once said she
could "make Richard Nixon look like Mahatma Gandhi."
In 1995, Forester de Rothschild, then a member of Clinton's National Information
Infrastructure Advisory Council, wrote the following to then-President Clinton:
Dear Mr. President: It was a pleasure to see you recently at Senator Kennedy's house.
There was too much to discuss and too little time. Using my fifteen seconds of access to
discuss Jeffrey Epstein and currency stabilization, I neglected to talk to you about a topic
near and dear to my heart. Namely, affirmative action and the future."
Forester de Rothschild then states that she had been asked to prepare a memo on behalf of
George Stephanopoulos, former Clinton communications director and currently a broadcast
journalist with ABC News . Stephanopoulos attended a
dinner party hosted by Epstein at his now infamous Manhattan townhouse in 2010 after
Epstein's release from prison for soliciting sex from a minor.
While it is unknown what Forester de Rothschild discussed with Clinton regarding Epstein and
currency stabilization, a potential lead may lie in the links of both Forester de Rothschild
and Epstein to Deutsche Bank. Journalist Vicky Ward reported in 2003 that
Epstein boasted of "skill at playing the currency markets 'with very large sums of money'" and
he appears to have done much of this through his long-standing relationship with Deutsche
Bank.
[Epstein] appears to have been doing business and trading currencies through Deutsche Bank
until just a few months ago, according to two people familiar with his business activities.
But as the possibility of federal charges loomed, the bank ended its client relationship with
Mr. Epstein. It is not clear what the value of those accounts was at the time they were
closed."
In the case of Forester de Rothschild, she served as an advisor
to the Deutsche Bank Microfinance Consortium for several years and is currently a board member
of the Alfred Herrhausen Society of International Dialogue of Deutsche Bank.
The same year that Forester de Rothschild made the above-noted comments to Bill Clinton
about Jeffrey Epstein, Epstein attended
another Clinton fundraiser , hosted by Ron Perelman at his personal home, that was very
exclusive, as the guest list included only 14 people.
Even before Forester de Rothschild's 1995 meeting with Clinton, Epstein was already an
established Clinton donor. Records obtained
by the Daily Beast revealed that Epstein had donated $10,000 to the White House
Historical Association and attended a Clinton donor reception alongside Ghislaine Maxwell as
early as 1993.
The Daily Beast suggests that Bill Clinton's long-time friend from his college days,
A. Paul Prosperi, was the facilitator of that early relationship, as Prosperi had a
decades-long relationship with Epstein and even visited Epstein at least 20 times while he was
in jail in 2008. Prosperi was intimately involved with the 1993 fundraiser for the White House
Historical Association noted above.
The relationship between Epstein and Clinton would continue well after Clinton left office
in 2001, a fact well-documented by Bill Clinton's now-infamous flights on Epstein's (recently
sold) private jet -- often referred to as the "Lolita Express." Clinton flew on the Lolita
Express no less than
26 times in the early 2000s according to flight logs. On some of those flights, Clinton was
accompanied by his Secret Service detail but he was unaccompanied on other flights.
Arguably the most infamous flight taken by Clinton on Epstein's jet was
a lengthy trip to Africa, where actor Kevin Spacey, who has also been accused of
raping minors ; Ghislaine Maxwell; and Ron Burkle, a billionaire friend of Clinton's who
has
been accused of soliciting the services of "super-high-end call girls," were also present.
Clinton specifically requested that Epstein make his jet available for the trip well in
advance, with Doug Band as the intermediary. President Donald Trump, also a friend of Epstein,
is said to have flown on the plane but appears
only once on flight logs.
In addition to flights, an Epstein-run foundation
gave $25,000 to the Clinton Foundation according to the 2006 filing tax return of Epstein's
former charity, the C.O.U.Q. Foundation. Notably, Epstein's lawyers, Alan Dershowitz among
them,
claimed in 2007 that Epstein had been "part of the original group that conceived the
Clinton Global Initiative, which is described as a project 'bringing together a community of
global leaders to devise and implement innovative solutions to some of the world's most
pressing challenges.'"
Before the associations between Epstein and the Clinton White House in the early 1990s were
made public, Ghislaine Maxwell was thought to
have been the bridge between Epstein and the Clinton family because of her close
relationship to the family. However, the close relationship between Maxwell and the Clintons
appears to have developed in the 2000s, with Politico
reporting that it began after Bill Clinton left office. Clinton associate Doug Band was
also reportedly friendly to Maxwell, appearing at an exclusive dinner party she hosted at her
residence in New York in 2005. Maxwell later became particularly close to Chelsea Clinton,
vacationing with Chelsea in 2009 and attending her wedding a year later. Maxwell was also
associated with the Clinton Global Initiative at least up until 2013.
Other close Clinton associates and officials in the early 1990s also had notable
relationships with Jeffrey Epstein, including Mark Middleton, who was a special assistant to
Clinton Chief of Staff Mack McClarty beginning in 1993, and met with Epstein on
at least three occasions in the White House during the early Clinton years. In addition,
White House social secretary under Clinton, Ann Stock,
appears in Epstein's "little black book" as does Doug
Band , once referred to by New
York Magazine as "Bill Clinton's bag carrier, body man, fixer, and all-purpose
gatekeeper." Band also appears several times in the flight logs of Epstein's private jet.
Epstein was also
associated with both Bill Richardson, former ambassador to the UN and former secretary of
energy under Clinton, and Larry Summers, secretary of the treasury under Clinton. Both
Richardson and Summers sit on the advisory board of controversial energy company Genie Energy,
alongside CIA director under Clinton, James Woolsey; Roy Cohn associate and media mogul, Rupert
Murdoch; Mega Group member Michael Steinhardt; and Lord Jacob Rothschild. Genie Energy is
controversial primarily for its exclusive rights to drill in the Israeli-occupied Golan
Heights. Bill Richardson also has ties to Lynn Forester de Rothschild as she was on the
Secretary of Energy's Advisory Board while
Richardson was secretary of energy.
Bill Richardson appears to be among the Clinton era officials closest to Jeffrey Epstein,
having
personally visited Epstein's New Mexico ranch and been the recipient of Epstein donations
of $50,000 to his 2002 and 2006 gubernatorial campaigns. Richardson gave Epstein's donation in
2006 to charity after allegations against Epstein were made public. Richardson was also accused
in recently released court documents of engaging in sex with Epstein's underage victims, an
allegation that he has denied.
In 1990, Danny Casolaro began his fateful one-year investigation of "the Octopus," an
investigation that played no small role in his untimely death. Shortly after he was found
lifeless in a hotel bathtub, Casolaro's friend Lynn Knowles was threatened and told the following : "What
Danny Casolaro was investigating is a business Anyone who asks too many questions will end up
dead."
Nearly thirty years later, that same "Octopus" and its "business" remains with us and has
become ever more wrapped around the levers of power -- particularly in the worlds of
government, finance and intelligence.
This MintPress investigative series has endeavored to show the nature of this network
and how the world of "the Octopus" is the same world in which Jeffrey Epstein and his
predecessors -- Craig Spence, Edwin Wilson and Roy Cohn among them -- operated and profited. It
is a world where all that matters is the constant drive to accumulate ever more wealth and ever
more power and to keep the racket going at all costs.
While this network has long been able to ensure its success through the use of sexual
blackmail, often acquired by the unconscionable exploitation of children, it has also been a
driving force behind many other ills that plague our world and it goes far beyond human and
child trafficking. Indeed, many of the figures in this same sordid web have played a major role
in the illicit drug and weapons trades, the expansion of for-profit prisons, and the endless
wars that have claimed an untold number of lives across the world, all the while enriching many
of these same individuals.
the network connected to Epstein is nothing less than a criminal enterprise that is
willing to use and abuse children in the pursuit of ever more power, wealth and
control.
Another aspect of this Mossad honey pot op being run by Epstein is this: How many of
those teenage girls, due to being plied by alcohol and drugs so they could perform for dirty
old men, how many of them broke down mentally and either committed suicide or were killed off
to hide the evidence?
My guess is that there's an underwater burial spot near Epstein's Orgy Island or maybe
they're buried under yards and yards of concrete, thanks to Epstein buying and moving that
concrete truck to that island.
As for the Rose Law firm in Arkansas, at the same time Hillary was working there, one of
her co-workers was Johnathan Pollard, the Israeli spy that did a tremendous amount of damage
to our intelligence apparatus, even getting spies killed who he helped expose.
Hillary's Secrets
Most progressives tend to think of the sordid topic of Vince Foster's death as the
exclusive domain of the Rush Limbaugh right wing radio circuit. But did you know that
Vince Foster, Hillary Clinton, and Jonathan Pollard were all simultaneously partners at
Rose Law Firm? Yes, that Jonathan Pollard, the unrepentant spy for Israel, arrested and
sentenced to life in 1986 for espionage . Did you know that Vince Foster was under CIA
scrutiny for the exact same crime at the time of his "suicide" in 1993?
Why is it that many of these kind of incidents always involve our friend and
special ally, Israel?
Spectacular job of reporting, that the large majority of Americans will never see, as the MSM
is too busy serving the needs of the CIA and Israel, and not interested in reporting actual
news.
Whitney, is it more likely that Epstein was killed by the Clintons or Trump? It would be
helpful to have a short paragraph giving the thrust of your thinking.
What we have not been told yet regarding the Epstein scandal is exactly what political and
monetary favors were provided to whom as a result of this sick, sadistic, satanic cult of
predators.
The motive must have been for political favors, and not merely sums of cash, would be my
guess. Yes, Epstein benefitted from the cash, but if Epstein was acting on behalf of the
Mossad, it was apparently for policy control.
So who were the individuals that were threatenning politicians with exposure for not
enacting, or for enacting specific policies, and precisely which policies and businesses
would be financially rewarded is what has not yet been disclosed and what I think that
everyone would like to know.
With Epstein dead, we don't know if we will ever find out. Obviously, many people in the
surveillance state know exactly who these individual policy threatenners were, and which
policies were demanded and have remained silent on these issues.
It is likely that Epstein's conspicuous cultivation and support of prominent scientists was
in fact camouflage to help cover his real role as a covert operative specializing in
blackmail. Comments by some scientists who attended his soirees indicate that Epstein was
scientifically an ignoramus and was unserious in scientific discussions.
Around '83, I was living Beaufort Gardens, Knightsbridge. Only a few steps away from the big
building occupied by the BCCI at 171-175 Brompton Road. It was purpose-built for the bank. I
was without a job. Enjoying myself the way one used to be able to do in one of the smartest
areas of London.
My friends and I could not help noticing the smart Mercedes saloons gliding into the
underground parking lot of the BCCI every morning. The guys driving seemed to be all
Pakistanis. I passed on foot past their imposing building several times every day for almost
a year. But I never saw a customer entering into their banking hall. I was bewildered. My
finances were non-existent and I envied these bankers. I just could not work out what sort of
scam was going on. It was all so obvious to anyone remotely streetwise.
The Mena story was an open secret in Arkansas. Paul Greenberg (who bestowed the monicker
"Slick Willie" upon The Boy Wonder) wrote extensively upon this subject. There have been
rumors–never confirmed– that Clinton may have been recruited by Spook Inc. as
early as his undergrad days at G-Town (it's still not clear how Clinton, a relatively unknown
American college graduate, could gain entry into the USSR in the summer of '69 for a
"vacation" at a time when our relations with that country were as low as they ever were).
Netanyahu's son says Barak has a drinking problem.
Epstein used to claim he worked for the CIA
What con man does not claim to be a secret agent?
Gone from corporate media are any hints of the larger scandal, revolving around the
admission that Epstein had "belonged to intelligence."
Hearsay, and the person supposed to have said it refused to discuss it, probably because
it was a lie intended to explain why he gave Epstein a soft plea deal, and he fears being
required to testify about it on oath.
Epstein also claimed to be a blackmailer, He promoted himself as freelance secret agent,
acting for governments or malefactors whichever paid most, when he was trying to get a
journalist to write a book about him in the eighties. Last year Epstein told a NYT journalist
that he had compromising material on top tech magnates (this was probably Elon Musk)

12 Aug 2019 – I went to Mr. Epstein's Manhattan mansion to talk about Tesla. 16,
2018, I visited Jeffrey Epstein at his cavernous Manhattan mansion. . .
There was another interview around the same time in which Epstein "rambled" about the big
tech people he knew to business reporters at his mansion. Every reporter who was around him
decided he was full of it.
Going on like this, Epstein would have been disposed of by his own organisation .. if it
actually existed. The Mafia kill people for far less
Far from being the work of a single intelligence agency or a single country, the power
structure revealed by this network connected to Epstein is nothing less than a criminal
enterprise that transcends nationality and is willing to use and abuse children in the
pursuit of ever more power, wealth and control. Existing for decades and willing to use any
means necessary to cover its tracks
@BannedHipster The "deciders" of the US foreign and internal politics:
Wexner was one of five key managers of organized crime cash flows in the United States.
many members of the so-called Mega Group, which Wexner co-founded, had direct ties to the
Lansky crime syndicate. Meyer Lansky was a pioneer of sexual blackmail operations and was
deeply connected to both U.S. intelligence and Israel's Mossad.
Criminal, ignorant, deviant. The face of the US highest echelons of power.
The tawdry sleaziness of both Clintons has been apparent for many years to anyone who would
spend ten minutes to check. Yet the media have glossed over all that and promoted Hilary for
president. She has millions of fans and has been relentlessly promoted as the second coming,
making one wonder as to how stupid are Americans anyway? There's a connection between
mafia-like criminality, intelligence services and the supposed legitimate aboveground
government. There's plenty of money to be had for all playing the game with the bulk of the
American people being the cash cow that can be milked.
They'll never give up living like
kings and queens; anybody threatening that gets suicided or otherwise dies young. They'll
take us all to the brink of Armageddon with other countries rather than lose their positions.
Some commenters have theorized Epstein is alive and living incognito elsewhere. This is
doubtful.
It's like the mafia: when someone becomes a liability he's got to go. They're not
going to take any chances. Epstein became the weak link and so had to be shut up permanently.
I don't buy a word of this. Too much emphasis on sex trafficking, the meaningless description
underage and the so-called victims. For some reason everyone believed the story that Epstein
was some kind of pervert. Only children trust the Government when it says sex crime, WMD,
ISIS or UFO.
Christians burned people at the stake. I suppose lots of children in the USA
would support the Government if they decided to start burning people at the stake for sex.
Think of the children!
While the state of Arkansas became a hub for CIA activity during the Reagan years and the
Iran-Contra scandal, another state appeared to take its place in the 1990s -- Ohio. Just as
Arkansas oligarch Jackson Stephens helped attract the CIA to his home state during Iran-Contra,
it was also an Ohio oligarch and his close associate that helped attract the CIA to the Buckeye
State. Those men were Leslie Wexner and Jeffrey Epstein, respectively.
In
Part III of this series, MintPress detailed Wexner's alleged ties to organized crime
and his links to the still unsolved homicide of Columbus, Ohio lawyer Arthur Shapiro. Shapiro,
who was representing Wexner's company "The Limited" at the time of his death, was set to
testify before a grand jury about tax evasion and his involvement with "questionable tax
shelters." Columbus police described the Shapiro murder as "a Mafia 'hit'" and a suppressed
police report implicated Wexner and his business associates as being involved in or benefiting
from Shapiro's death, and as having links to prominent New York-based crime syndicates.
However, Wexner and The Limited also appear to have had a relationship with the CIA. In
1995, Southern Air Transport (SAT) -- a well-known front company for the CIA --
relocated from Miami, Florida to Columbus, Ohio. First founded in the late 1940s, SAT from
1960 until 1973 was
directly owned by the CIA, which sought to use the company as a cover for covert
operations. After 1973, the company was placed in private hands, although all of its subsequent
owners would have CIA ties, including James Bastian, a former lawyer for the CIA, who owned SAT
at the time of its relocation to Ohio.
SAT was intimately involved in the Iran-Contra affair, having been used to funnel
weapons and drugs to and from the Nicaraguan Contras under the guise of delivering
"humanitarian aid," while also sending American weapons to Israel that were then sold to Iran
in violation of the U.S. arms embargo. In 1986 alone, SAT
transported from Texas to Israel 90 tons of TOW anti-tank missiles, which were then sold to
Iran by Israel and Mossad-linked intermediaries like Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi.
Even though the airline's CIA links were well known, Leslie Wexner's company, The Limited,
sought to coax SAT to relocate its headquarters from Miami, Florida to Columbus, Ohio, a move
that was realized in 1995. When Edmund James, president of James and Donohew Development
Services,
told the Columbus Dispatch in March 1995 that SAT was relocating to Columbus'
Rickenbacker airfield, he stated that "Southern Air's new presence at Rickenbacker begins in
April with two regularly scheduled 747 cargo flights a week from Hong Kong," citing SAT
President William Langton. "By fall, that could increase to four a week. Negotiations are
underway for flights out of Rickenbacker to the Far East Much of the Hong Kong-to-Rickenbacker
cargo will be for The Limited," Wexner's clothing company. "This is a big story for central
Ohio. It's huge, actually," James said at the time.
The day following the press conference, Brian Clancy, working as a cargo analyst with
MergeGlobal Inc.,
told the Journal of Commerce that the reason for SAT's relocation to Ohio was
largely the result of the lucrative Hong Kong-to-Columbus route that SAT would run for Wexner's
company. Clancy specifically stated that the fact that "[The] Limited Inc., the nation's
largest retailer, is based in Columbus undoubtedly contributed in large part to Southern Air's
decision."
According to documents obtained by journalist Bob Fitrakis from the
Rickenbacker Port Authority, Ohio's government also tried to sweeten the deal to bring SAT to
Columbus in order to please powerful Ohio businessmen like Wexner. Orchestrated by Governor
George Voinovich's then-Chief of Staff Paul Mifsud, the Rickenbacker Port Authority and the
Ohio Department of Development created a package of several financial incentives, funded by
Ohio taxpayers, to lure the airline to relocate to Ohio. The Journal of Commercedescribed the
"generous package of incentives from the state of Ohio" as "including a 75 percent credit
against its corporate tax liability for the next 10 years, a $5 million low-interest loan, and
a $400,000 job-training grant."In 1996, then-SAT spokesman David Sweet had told Fitrakis that the CIA-linked airline had
only moved to Columbus because "the deal [put together by the development department] was too
good to turn down."
Though SAT had promised Ohio's government that it would create 300 jobs in three years, it
quickly laid off numerous workers and failed to construct the maintenance facility it had
promised, even though it had already accepted $3.5 million in taxpayer funds for that and other
projects. As the company's financial problems mounted, Ohio's government declined to recoup the
millions in dollars it loaned the company, even after it was alleged that $32 million in the
bank account of Mary Bastian, the wife of SAT's owner and former CIA lawyer James Bastian,
were actually company funds . On October 1, 1998, SAT filed for bankruptcy. It was the very
same day that the CIA's Inspector General had published a comprehensive report on the airline's
illicit involvement in drug trafficking.
Furthermore, Fitrakis noted that in addition to Wexner the other main figures who were key in securing
SAT's relocation to Ohio were Alan D. Fiers Jr., a former chief of the CIA Central American
Task Force, and retired Air Force Major General Richard Secord, head of air logistics for SAT's
covert action in Laos between 1966 and 1968, while the company was still known as Air America.
Secord was also the air logistics coordinator in the illegal Contra resupply network for Oliver
North during Iran-Contra. Fiers was one of the key individuals involved in Iran-Contra who was
later pardoned by George H.W. Bush with the assistance of then-Attorney General Bill Barr. Barr
-- currently serving as attorney general in the Trump administration, and top of the chain of
DOJ command in the investigation of Epstein's death in prison -- has refused to recuse himself
from the investigation into Epstein's network and his recent death.
Despite the involvement of these CIA-linked men, as well as the organized crime-linked
Leslie Wexner, the then-president of SAT
told the Columbus Dispatch that the airline was "no longer connected to the
CIA."
Notably, It was during this same time that Epstein exerted substantial control over Wexner's
finances; and, according to Fitrakis and his extensive reporting on Wexner from this period, it
was Epstein who orchestrated logistics for Wexner's business operations, including The Limited.
As was revealed in the Arthur Shapiro murder file and in ties between SAT and The Limited, much
of The Limited's logistics involved figures and companies connected to organized crime and U.S.
intelligence. It is also important to note that SAT was well-known for being a CIA front
company prior to the efforts of Wexner et al. to bring the airline to Columbus, and that, a few
years prior, Epstein himself had previously worked for intelligence-linked figures also
involved in Iran-Contra, such as Adnan Khashoggi.
In addition, during this time period, Epstein had already begun to live in the now infamous
New York penthouse that had first been purchased by Wexner in 1989. Wexner had apparently
installed CCTV and recording equipment in an odd bathroom in the home after his purchase, and
never lived in the home, as was noted in
Part III of this series.
In an exclusive interview, Bob Fitrakis told MintPress that Epstein and Wexner's
involvement with SAT's relocation to Ohio had caused suspicion among some prominent state and
local officials that the two were working with U.S. intelligence. Fitrakis specifically stated
that then-Ohio Inspector General David Strutz and then-Sheriff of Franklin County Earl Smith
had personally told him that they believed that both Epstein and Wexner had ties to the CIA.
These claims further corroborate what was first reported by Nigel Rosser in the Evening
Standard that Epstein had claimed to have worked for the CIA in the past.
Fitrakis also told MintPress that Strutz had referred to SAT's route between Hong
Kong and Columbus on behalf of Wexner's company The Limited as "the Meyer Lansky run," as he
believed that Wexner's association with SAT was related to his ties to elements of organized
crime that were connected to the Lansky-created National Crime Syndicate. In addition,
Catherine Austin Fitts -- the former investment banker and government official, who has
extensively investigated the intersection of organized crime, black markets, Wall Street and
the government in the U.S. economy -- was told by an ex-CIA employee that Wexner was one of
five key managers of organized crime cash flows in the United States.
As this series has noted in previous reports, Meyer Lansky was a pioneer of sexual
blackmail operations and was deeply connected to both U.S. intelligence and Israel's Mossad.
Furthermore, many members of the so-called Mega Group, which Wexner co-founded, had direct ties
to the Lansky crime syndicate.
Another shadowy figure with connections to the Mega Group, Mossad, U.S. intelligence and
organized crime is the "fugitive financier" Marc Rich, whose pardon during the last days of the
Clinton White House is both well-known and still mired in controversy years after the fact.
Marc Rich was a commodities trader and hedge fund manager best known for founding the
commodity trading and mining giant Glencore and for doing business with numerous dictatorships,
often in violation of sanctions. He worked particularly closely with Israel and, according to
Haaretz :
In the years after the 1973 Yom Kippur War and the ensuing global Arab oil embargo, a
period when nobody wanted to sell oil to Israel, for almost 20 years Rich was the main source
of the country's oil and energy needs."
It was that trading on Israel's behalf that would ultimately lead to Rich being charged in
1983 for violating the U.S. oil embargo on Iran by selling Iranian oil to Israel. Rich was also
charged with tax evasion, wire fraud, racketeering and several other crimes.
Haaretz
also noted that Rich's businesses were "a source of funding for secret financial
arrangements" and that "his worldwide offices, according to several reliable sources,
frequently served Mossad agents, with his consent." Rich had more direct ties to the Mossad as
well. For instance, his foundation -- the Rich Foundation -- was run by the former Mossad agent
Avner Azulay. Rich was also friendly with prominent Israel politicians, including former Prime
Ministers Menachem Begin and Ehud Barak, and was
a frequent provider of "services" for Israeli intelligence, services he freely
volunteered.
Marc Rich, right, is pictured with Israel's Shimon Peres in a photo from Mark
Daneil Ammann's "The King of Oil."
According to Rich's biographer, Daniel Ammann, Rich also fed information to U.S.
intelligence but declined to give specifics. "He did not want to tell with whom he cooperated
within the U.S. authorities or which branch of the U.S. government he supplied with
intelligence," Ammann said in an interview with the Daily
Beast .
One clue as to the nature of Rich's relationship to U.S. intelligence is his apparent ties
to BCCI. "The BCCI Affair" report mentions Rich as a person to investigate in relation to the
bank and states :
BCCI lending to Rich in the 1980s amounted to tens of millions of dollars. Moreover,
Rich's commodities firms were used by BCCI in connection with BCCI's involv[ement] in U.S.
guarantee programs through the Department of Agriculture. The nature and extent of Rich's
relationship with BCCI requires further investigation."
Rich was also deeply tied to the Mega Group, as he was one of the main donors to the
Birthright Israel charity along with Mega Group co-founder Charles Bronfman and Mega Group
member Michael Steinhardt. Steinhardt was particularly close to Rich, first meeting the
commodities trader in the 1970s and
then managing $3 million for Rich, Rich's then-wife Denise, and Rich's father-in-law from
the early 1980s to the mid-1990s through his hedge fund. In the late 1990s, Steinhardt would
enlist other Mega Group members, such as Edgar Bronfman, in the effort to settle the criminal
charges against Rich, which eventually came to pass with Clinton's controversial pardon in
2001. Steinhardt claimed to have
come up with the idea of a presidential pardon for Rich in late 2000.
Rich's pardon was controversial for several reasons, and many mainstream outlets asserted
that it "reeked of payoff." As
the New York Post noted in 2016, in the run-up to the presidential pardon the
financier's ex-wife Denise had donated $450,000 to the fledgling Clinton Library and "over $1
million to Democratic campaigns in the Clinton era." In addition, Rich had hired high-powered
lawyers with links to powerful individuals in both the Democratic and Republican parties as
well as the Clinton White House, including Jack Quinn, who has previously served as general
counsel to the Clinton administration and as former chief of staff to Vice President Al
Gore.
However, per
Clinton's own words and other supporting evidence, the main reason behind the Rich pardon
was the heavy lobbying from Israeli intelligence, Israeli politicians and members of the Mega
Group like Steinhardt, with the donations from Denise Rich and Quinn's access to the president
likely sweetening the deal.
Among the most ardent
lobbyists for Rich's pardon were then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, former Prime
Minister Shimon Peres, then-Mayor of Jerusalem Ehud Olmert, then-former Foreign Minister Shlomo
Ben-Ami and former Director of the Mossad Shabtai Shavit. According to Haaretz , Barak was so adamant that Clinton pardon Marc Rich that he was heard
shouting at the president on at least one occasion. Former adviser to Barak, Eldad Yaniv,
claimed that Barak had shouted that the pardon was "important Not only from the financial
aspect, but also because he helped the Mossad in more than one instance."
The Israel lobbying effort had considerable help from Mega Group member Michael Steinhardt
as well as Abe Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which was at the time heavily funded
by Mega Group members, including Ronald Lauder and Edgar Bronfman.
There has been speculation for years that Clinton's decision to pardon Rich may have been
the result of "leverage" or blackmail that Israel had acquired on the then-president's
activities. As was noted in
Part III of this report, the Mossad-linked "Mega" spy scandal broke in 1997, whereby
Israeli intelligence had been targeting Clinton's effort to broker a peace agreement between
Israel and Palestine and had sought to go to "Mega," likely a reference to the Mega Group, to
obtain a sensitive document.
In addition, Israel is known to have acquired phone conversations between Clinton and Monica
Lewinsky before their affair was made public. Author Daniel Halper -- relying on on-the-record
interviews with former officials and hundreds of pages of documents compiled in the event that
Lewinsky took legal action against Clinton -- determined
that Benjamin Netanyahu told Clinton that he had obtained recordings of the sexually-tinged
phone conversations during the Wye Plantation talks between Israel and Palestine in 1998.
Netanyahu attempted to use this information to get Clinton to pardon convicted Israeli spy
Jonathan Pollard. Clinton considered pardoning Pollard but decided against it after CIA
Director George Tenet threatened to resign if the pardon was given.
Investigative journalist and author Gordon Thomas had
made similar claims years prior and asserted that the Mossad had obtained some 30 hours of
phone-sex conversations between Lewinsky and Clinton and used them as leverage. In addition,
a
report in Insight magazine in May 2000 claimed that Israeli intelligence had
"penetrated four White House telephone lines and was able to relay real-time conversations on
those lines from a remote site outside the White House directly to Israel for listening and
recording."
Those phone taps apparently went well beyond the White House, as revealed by a December 2001
investigative report by Carl Cameron for FOX News . According to
Cameron's report :
[Israeli telecommunications company Amdocs] helped Bell Atlantic install new telephone
lines in the White House in 1997 [and] a senior-level employee of Amdocs had a separate T1
data phone line installed from his base outside of St. Louis that was connected directly to
Israel
[I]nvestigators are looking into whether the owner of the T1 line had a 'real time'
capacity to intercept phone calls from both the White House and other government offices
around Washington, and sustained the line for some time, sources said. Sources familiar with
the investigation say FBI agents on the case sought an arrest warrant for the St. Louis
employee but [Clinton] Justice Department officials quashed it."
[Both Amdocs and Verint Inc. (formerly Comverse Infosys)] are based in Israel -- having
arisen to prominence from that country's cornering of the information technology market --
and are heavily funded by the Israeli government, with connections to the Israeli military
and Israeli intelligence
The companies' operations, sources suggest, have been infiltrated by freelance spies
exploiting encrypted trapdoors in Verint/Amdocs technology and gathering data on Americans
for transfer to Israeli intelligence and other willing customers (particularly organized
crime)."
Given the extent of phone tapping of the U.S. government by Israeli intelligence-linked
companies and Netanyahu's previous use of intercepted phone calls to pressure Clinton to pardon
Jonathan Pollard, it is entirely reasonable to speculate that some other trove of intercepted
communications could have been used to push Clinton to pardon Rich in the final hours of his
presidency.
Also notable is the fact that several figures who heavily lobbied Clinton over the Rich
pardon had ties to Epstein, who also had ties to Israeli intelligence and Israeli
intelligence-linked tech companies, as discussed in
Part III of this series. For example, Ehud Barak, a close friend and business associate of
Epstein, and Shimon Peres, who introduced Barak to Epstein, were the major players in convincing Clinton to
pardon Marc Rich.
Furthermore, as will be shown in a subsequent section of this report, Jeffrey Epstein had
developed ties with the Clinton administration beginning in 1993 and those ties expanded,
particularly in 1996, when Epstein's intelligence-linked sexual blackmail operation was
underway. Clinton would later fly on Epstein's infamous private jet, nicknamed the "Lolita
Express," and Epstein would later donate to the Clinton Foundation and claim to have played
a key role in the creation of the Clinton Global Initiative.
In addition to the role of figures close to Epstein in securing Rich's pardon, Epstein
himself appeared to share some level of connection with Rich's former business partners. For
instance, Felix Posen -- who ran Rich's London operations for years and
whom Forbes described as "the architect of Rich's immensely profitable but suddenly
very controversial business with the Soviet Union" -- appears in
Epstein's book of contacts . In addition, Epstein's offshore structured investment vehicle
(SIV), Liquid Funding, has the same attorney and director as several Glencore entities :
Alex Erskine of the law firm
Appleby.
The significance of that connection, however, is unclear, given that Erskine was connected to a total of
274 offshore entities at the time of the "Paradise Papers" leak in 2014. Catherine Austin Fitts
told MintPress that it could suggest that Epstein's Liquid Funding -- 40 percent of
which
had been owned by Bear Stearns , and which may have received
a "secret" bail-out from the Federal Reserve -- is part of the same shadow economy
"syndicate" as Glencore.
This possibility merits further investigation, given that Glencore is partially
owned by British financier Nathaniel Rothschild, whose father, Jacob Rothschild, is on the
board of advisers of Genie Energy, which includes Michael Steinhardt as well as several alleged
associates of Epstein, such as Bill Richardson and Larry Summers. In addition, Nathaniel
Rothschild's cousin by marriage, Lynn Forester de Rothschild, is a long-time associate of
Jeffrey Epstein with considerable ties to the New York City "Roy Cohn machine." Marc Rich had
long-standing ties to the Rothschild family, going back to
the early 1970s when he began commodity trading at Philipp Brothers.
After Epstein's arrests first in 2007 and then again last month, numerous media reports
emerged detailing the links between Epstein and Clinton, with most asserting that they had met
not long after Clinton left office in 2001 and, as recently mentioned, issued the controversial
pardon of Marc Rich.
Those reports claimed that the Epstein-Clinton relationship had been facilitated by
Epstein's long-time girlfriend and alleged madam Ghislaine Maxwell. However, documents obtained
from the Clinton presidential library have revealed that the ties between Epstein and Clinton
date back years earlier and were facilitated by powerful individuals who have largely evaded
scrutiny in connection with the Epstein case.
One major player who has been largely overlooked in bringing Epstein and the Clintons
together is Lynn Forester de Rothschild. Notably, Forester de Rothschild has long been
connected to neoconservative Reagan era officials -- the Lewis Rosenstiel/Roy Cohn network
described in Parts 1 and 2 of this series, as well as the Mega Group, which was detailed in
Part 3 of this series.
Lynn Forester de Rothschild became involved in the world of Democratic Party politics in the
late 1970s when she
worked on the 1976 campaign of hawkish Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-NY) alongside
now-notorious neoconservatives like
Elliott Abrams , who would go on to play an important role in the Iran-Contra affair during
the Reagan era and later serve in the State Department under Trump. She was also introduced to
her second husband, Evelyn de Rothschild, by Henry Kissinger at a Bilderberg conference.
Several of the individuals connected to the Mega Group and the Mossad-linked media mogul Robert
Maxwell -- including Mark Palmer, Max Fisher and John Lehman -- were one-time aides or advisers
to Henry Kissinger.
Before marrying into the Rothschild family in 2000, Lynn
had previously been married to Andrew Stein, a major figure in New York Democratic
politics, with whom she had two sons. Andrew's brother, James Finkelstein, married Cathy Frank,
the granddaughter of Lewis Rosenstiel, the mob-linked businessman who ran a sexual blackmail
operation exploiting underage boys, as was discussed in Part 1 of this series. Rosenstiel's
protege Roy Cohn
was the lawyer for Cathy Frank and James Finkelstein and it was at their behest that Cohn
attempted to trick a nearly comatose Rosenstiel to into naming Cohn, Frank and Finkelstein the
executors and trustees of his estate, valued at $75 million (more than $334 million in today's
dollars).
According to the
New Yorker , Lynn Forester de Rothschild requested "financial help" from none other
than Jeffrey Epstein in 1993 during her divorce from Andrew Stein.
As far as Forester de Rothschild's ties to the Mega Group go, she is currently on the
board of directors of Estee Lauder companies, which was founded and is still owned by the
family of Ronald Lauder -- a member of the Mega Group, a former Reagan official, a family
friend of Roy Cohn, and the alleged source of Jeffrey Epstein's now-infamous Austrian passport.
In addition, Forester de Rothschild also partnered with Matthew
Bronfman -- son of Mega Group member Edgar Bronfman and grandson of Samuel Bronfman, who had
close ties to Meyer Lansky -- in creating the investment advisory firm Bronfman E.L. Rothschild
LP.
It is unclear when Lynn Forester de Rothschild first met Jeffrey Epstein, but she was one of
his leading advocates and had the ear of then-President Bill Clinton in the early 1990s,
speaking to Clinton specifically about Epstein during her "fifteen seconds of access" with the
president and also introducing Epstein to lawyer Alan Dershowitz in 1996.

Forester de Rothschild is a long-time associate of the Clintons and has been a major donor
to both Bill and Hillary Clinton since 1992. Their ties were so close that Forester de
Rothschild spent the first night of her honeymoon at the Lincoln Bedroom in the White House
while Clinton was president. Furthermore, a leaked email between Forester de Rothschild and
Hillary Clinton saw Clinton
request "penance" from Forester de Rothschild for asking Tony Blair to accompany Clinton on
official business while she was secretary of state, preventing Blair from making a planned
social visit to Forester de Rothschild's home in Aspen, Colorado. Humbly requesting forgiveness
is not something Hillary Clinton is known for, given that her former bodyguard once said she
could "make Richard Nixon look like Mahatma Gandhi."
In 1995, Forester de Rothschild, then a member of Clinton's National Information
Infrastructure Advisory Council, wrote the following to then-President Clinton:
Dear Mr. President: It was a pleasure to see you recently at Senator Kennedy's house.
There was too much to discuss and too little time. Using my fifteen seconds of access to
discuss Jeffrey Epstein and currency stabilization, I neglected to talk to you about a topic
near and dear to my heart. Namely, affirmative action and the future."
Forester de Rothschild then states that she had been asked to prepare a memo on behalf of
George Stephanopoulos, former Clinton communications director and currently a broadcast
journalist with ABC News . Stephanopoulos attended a
dinner party hosted by Epstein at his now infamous Manhattan townhouse in 2010 after
Epstein's release from prison for soliciting sex from a minor.
While it is unknown what Forester de Rothschild discussed with Clinton regarding Epstein and
currency stabilization, a potential lead may lie in the links of both Forester de Rothschild
and Epstein to Deutsche Bank. Journalist Vicky Ward reported in 2003 that
Epstein boasted of "skill at playing the currency markets 'with very large sums of money'" and
he appears to have done much of this through his long-standing relationship with Deutsche
Bank.
[Epstein] appears to have been doing business and trading currencies through Deutsche Bank
until just a few months ago, according to two people familiar with his business activities.
But as the possibility of federal charges loomed, the bank ended its client relationship with
Mr. Epstein. It is not clear what the value of those accounts was at the time they were
closed."
In the case of Forester de Rothschild, she served as an advisor
to the Deutsche Bank Microfinance Consortium for several years and is currently a board member
of the Alfred Herrhausen Society of International Dialogue of Deutsche Bank.
The same year that Forester de Rothschild made the above-noted comments to Bill Clinton
about Jeffrey Epstein, Epstein attended
another Clinton fundraiser , hosted by Ron Perelman at his personal home, that was very
exclusive, as the guest list included only 14 people.
Even before Forester de Rothschild's 1995 meeting with Clinton, Epstein was already an
established Clinton donor. Records obtained
by the Daily Beast revealed that Epstein had donated $10,000 to the White House
Historical Association and attended a Clinton donor reception alongside Ghislaine Maxwell as
early as 1993.
The Daily Beast suggests that Bill Clinton's long-time friend from his college days,
A. Paul Prosperi, was the facilitator of that early relationship, as Prosperi had a
decades-long relationship with Epstein and even visited Epstein at least 20 times while he was
in jail in 2008. Prosperi was intimately involved with the 1993 fundraiser for the White House
Historical Association noted above.
The relationship between Epstein and Clinton would continue well after Clinton left office
in 2001, a fact well-documented by Bill Clinton's now-infamous flights on Epstein's (recently
sold) private jet -- often referred to as the "Lolita Express." Clinton flew on the Lolita
Express no less than
26 times in the early 2000s according to flight logs. On some of those flights, Clinton was
accompanied by his Secret Service detail but he was unaccompanied on other flights.
Arguably the most infamous flight taken by Clinton on Epstein's jet was
a lengthy trip to Africa, where actor Kevin Spacey, who has also been accused of
raping minors ; Ghislaine Maxwell; and Ron Burkle, a billionaire friend of Clinton's who
has
been accused of soliciting the services of "super-high-end call girls," were also present.
Clinton specifically requested that Epstein make his jet available for the trip well in
advance, with Doug Band as the intermediary. President Donald Trump, also a friend of Epstein,
is said to have flown on the plane but appears
only once on flight logs.
In addition to flights, an Epstein-run foundation
gave $25,000 to the Clinton Foundation according to the 2006 filing tax return of Epstein's
former charity, the C.O.U.Q. Foundation. Notably, Epstein's lawyers, Alan Dershowitz among
them,
claimed in 2007 that Epstein had been "part of the original group that conceived the
Clinton Global Initiative, which is described as a project 'bringing together a community of
global leaders to devise and implement innovative solutions to some of the world's most
pressing challenges.'"
Before the associations between Epstein and the Clinton White House in the early 1990s were
made public, Ghislaine Maxwell was thought to
have been the bridge between Epstein and the Clinton family because of her close
relationship to the family. However, the close relationship between Maxwell and the Clintons
appears to have developed in the 2000s, with Politico
reporting that it began after Bill Clinton left office. Clinton associate Doug Band was
also reportedly friendly to Maxwell, appearing at an exclusive dinner party she hosted at her
residence in New York in 2005. Maxwell later became particularly close to Chelsea Clinton,
vacationing with Chelsea in 2009 and attending her wedding a year later. Maxwell was also
associated with the Clinton Global Initiative at least up until 2013.
Other close Clinton associates and officials in the early 1990s also had notable
relationships with Jeffrey Epstein, including Mark Middleton, who was a special assistant to
Clinton Chief of Staff Mack McClarty beginning in 1993, and met with Epstein on
at least three occasions in the White House during the early Clinton years. In addition,
White House social secretary under Clinton, Ann Stock,
appears in Epstein's "little black book" as does Doug
Band , once referred to by New
York Magazine as "Bill Clinton's bag carrier, body man, fixer, and all-purpose
gatekeeper." Band also appears several times in the flight logs of Epstein's private jet.
Epstein was also
associated with both Bill Richardson, former ambassador to the UN and former secretary of
energy under Clinton, and Larry Summers, secretary of the treasury under Clinton. Both
Richardson and Summers sit on the advisory board of controversial energy company Genie Energy,
alongside CIA director under Clinton, James Woolsey; Roy Cohn associate and media mogul, Rupert
Murdoch; Mega Group member Michael Steinhardt; and Lord Jacob Rothschild. Genie Energy is
controversial primarily for its exclusive rights to drill in the Israeli-occupied Golan
Heights. Bill Richardson also has ties to Lynn Forester de Rothschild as she was on the
Secretary of Energy's Advisory Board while
Richardson was secretary of energy.
Bill Richardson appears to be among the Clinton era officials closest to Jeffrey Epstein,
having
personally visited Epstein's New Mexico ranch and been the recipient of Epstein donations
of $50,000 to his 2002 and 2006 gubernatorial campaigns. Richardson gave Epstein's donation in
2006 to charity after allegations against Epstein were made public. Richardson was also accused
in recently released court documents of engaging in sex with Epstein's underage victims, an
allegation that he has denied.
In 1990, Danny Casolaro began his fateful one-year investigation of "the Octopus," an
investigation that played no small role in his untimely death. Shortly after he was found
lifeless in a hotel bathtub, Casolaro's friend Lynn Knowles was threatened and told the following : "What
Danny Casolaro was investigating is a business Anyone who asks too many questions will end up
dead."
Nearly thirty years later, that same "Octopus" and its "business" remains with us and has
become ever more wrapped around the levers of power -- particularly in the worlds of
government, finance and intelligence.
This MintPress investigative series has endeavored to show the nature of this network
and how the world of "the Octopus" is the same world in which Jeffrey Epstein and his
predecessors -- Craig Spence, Edwin Wilson and Roy Cohn among them -- operated and profited. It
is a world where all that matters is the constant drive to accumulate ever more wealth and ever
more power and to keep the racket going at all costs.
While this network has long been able to ensure its success through the use of sexual
blackmail, often acquired by the unconscionable exploitation of children, it has also been a
driving force behind many other ills that plague our world and it goes far beyond human and
child trafficking. Indeed, many of the figures in this same sordid web have played a major role
in the illicit drug and weapons trades, the expansion of for-profit prisons, and the endless
wars that have claimed an untold number of lives across the world, all the while enriching many
of these same individuals.
This goes so much deeper, as Whitney Webb points out below, there are much broader
implications beyond the depraved pedophile aspect.
Epstein's links to intelligence have since been confirmed. The CIA-Mossad links to
Epstein were detailed in a recent MintPress investigative series and several mainstream media
reports have corroborated Epstein's time as a self-described "financial bounty hunter" who
hunted down embezzled funds and also hid stolen money for powerful people and
governments.
references allude to Epstein's shady business activities in the New York and Palm Beach
real estate markets from the mid-1980s to the late-1990s that were used to launder massive
amounts of money for organized crime and intelligence. It is likely for this reason that
Epstein's real estate activities during this period have been so deliberately ignored by the
U.S. press, even though other aspects of his financial activities were heavily scrutinized in
recent months.
Indeed, in examining Epstein's involvement in real estate markets, particularly in New
York, it becomes clear that those activities have no shortage of controversial tie-ins to the
current U.S. presidential administration as well as major New York power players involved in
suspect financial activity immediately prior to the September 11 attacks as well as the 2008
financial crisis.
I would be vastly surprised if Epstein's ties to the NY real estate markets doesn't
include most of the major players not just the Trump organization. The outlier real estate
moguls would be those without ties to controversial partners and organized crime.
With regard to ""There will come a day where we will realize Jeffrey Epstein was the most
prolific pedophile this country has ever known.":
The focus is on Epstein, but it doesn't belong there. What about the adolescent females
who have been victimized? Does anyone here have a clue or give a damn about what it means
psychologically for the rest of their lives? And what about the hundreds or thousands of
politicians, judges, media people, cultural leaders, et al who have been intimidated,
blackmailed, compromised? What does that mean for politics, the economy, justice, etc.?
" this is how these games are played. If you look carefully, you will see them widely.
Inform, enlighten, while throwing in doubletalk and untruths. The small number of people who
read such books and articles will come away knowing some history that has no current
relevance and being misinformed on other history that does. They will then be in the know,
ready to pass their "wisdom" on to those who care to listen. They will not think they are
average.
But they will be mind controlled, and the killer cat will roam freely without a bell,
ready to devour the unsuspecting mice."

Jeffrey Epstein was a Mossad asset who was used by Israeli intelligence to blackmail
American politicians, according to a former Israeli spy.
Ari Ben-Menashe, a former Israeli spy and alleged "handler" of Robert Maxwell, told the
authors of a new book, Epstein: Dead Men Tell No Tales , that Epstein ran a "complex
intelligence operation" at the behest of Mossad.
Believing that Epstein planned to marry his daughter, Maxwell introduced him and Ghislaine
Maxwell to Ben-Menashe's Mossad circle.
"Maxwell sort of started liking him, and my theory is that Maxwell felt that this guy is
going for his daughter," Ben-Menashe said.
"He felt that he could bless him with some work and help him out in like a paternal
[way]."
Israeli intelligence bosses gave the green light and Epstein then became a Mossad asset.
"They were agents of the Israeli Intelligence Services," said Ben-Menashe.
When it became clear that Epstein wasn't very competent at doing much else, his primary role
became "blackmailing American and other political figures."
"Mr. Epstein was the simple idiot who was going around providing girls to all kinds of
politicians in the United States," said Ben-Menashe.
"See, fucking around is not a crime. It could be embarrassing, but it's not a crime. But
fucking a fourteen-year-old girl is a crime. And he was taking photos of politicians fucking
fourteen-year-old girls -- if you want to get it straight. They would just blackmail people,
they would just blackmail people like that."
There's also a Mossad connection to a different kind of sex offender; Harvey Weinstein.
Weinstein
reportedly hired ex-Mossad agents to suppress allegations against him. Working for an
Israeli firm called Black Cube, these agents pressured witnesses and tried to intimidate
journalist Ronan Farrow in order to "bury the truth" about Weinstein's activity.
Jeffrey Epstein worked for Mossad, which is blackmailing every politician around the world
that it can, but most especially those in the United States of America and Britain.
Trump Was 'Only One' To Help Prosecutor In 2009 Epstein Case
And while Democrats have suggested that
the new evidence may implicate President Trump - who once called Epstein a "Terrific guy" who
"likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side" (yet
reportedly kicked the billionaire pedophile out of his Mar-a-Lago club for trying to recruit
an underage girl) others are focusing on the Clintons.
A the
NY Post detailed in 2016, Epstein and the Clintons are close .
Epstein has spent the bulk of his adult life cultivating relationships with the worlds
most powerful men. Flight logs show that from 2001 to 2003, Bill Clinton flew on Epsteins
private plane, dubbed The Lolita Express by the press, 26 times . After Epsteins arrest in
July 2006, federal tax records show Epstein donated $25,000 to the Clinton Foundation that
year.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Superdelegate daughter Christine quipped on Twitter "It is
quite likely that some of our faves are implicated but we must follow the facts and let the
chips fall where they may."...
...
And what about Trump?
Following a 2018 financial settlement between Florida attorney Bradley Edwards - who
represented one of Epstein's accusers, only to be later sued by Epstein, Edwards claimed that
Donald Trump was the 'only person' who provided assistance when Edwards served subpoenas and
notices to high-profile individuals connected to Epstein.
Edwards: The only thing that I can say about President Trump is that he is the only
person who, in 2009 when I served a lot of subpoenas on a lot of people, or at least gave
notice to some pretty connected people, that I want to talk to them, is the only person who
picked up the phone and said, let's just talk. I'll give you as much time as you want. I'll
tell you what you need to know, and was very helpful , in the information that he gave, and
gave no indication whatsoever that he was involved in anything untoward whatsoever, but had
good information. That checked out and that helped us and we didn't have to take a
deposition of him in 2009...
...In January 2016, Vice.com ran
Silverstein's story on Trump's ties to Epstein, which framed them as more social - including
dinner parties, two plane trips, and Epstein hanging out at Trump's Mar-a-lago resort in Palm
Beach, Florida. As
Radar reported last April, "According to an investigation by Radar, Trump was among
dozens of renowned New Yorkers who knew Epstein socially but ostracized him after Palm Beach
police uncovered the financiers sleazy double life, " adding that Trump "once barred child
molester Jeffrey Epstein from his famed Mar-a-lago club after the presidential candidate
caught him hitting on a young girl."
Russia, Israel and Saudi Arabia: Jeffrey Epstein 'Found a Niche -- Blackmailing American
and Other Political Figures' For Foreign Powers, According to His Ex-Spy Handler
By Dylan Howard
December 5, 2019
Shameless pedophile Jeffrey Epstein inherited his espionage business from ex-girlfriend
Ghislaine Maxwell, whose father British media magnate Robert Maxwell, was a super spy for
Israel's Mossad. Here, in another excerpt from the newly released book "Epstein: Dead Men
Tell No Tales," former Israeli spy Ari Ben-Menashe tells how Epstein ran a complex
intelligence operation.
Ari Ben-Menashe, a former Israeli spy and alleged "handler" of Robert Maxwell said of
Epstein: "Maxwell introduced him to us, and he wanted us to accept him as part of our
group.
Ben-Menashe claimed that Epstein and
Ghislaine were already dating in the late 1980s, and that Maxwell Senior grew fond of
the young upstart.
"Epstein was hanging around with Robert Maxwell and the daughter was hanging around
there too, and that's how they met," he told author James Robertson in an interview from
Montreal. "Just two young souls, they met."
"Maxwell sort of started liking him, and my theory is that Maxwell felt that this guy
is going for his daughter," Ben-Menashe said. "He felt that he could bless him with some
work and help him out in like a paternal [way]."
According to the former spy, the ultimate order to embrace Epstein and involve him in
the ongoing arms deals came from "the bosses" at Israeli intelligence headquarters.
"They were agents of the Israeli Intelligence Services," he told James
Robertson.
"Later on [Ghislaine] got involved with Israeli intelligence together with him. But
not in this arms deal with Iran business," Ben-Menashe also told Zev
Shalev , former CBS News executive producer and investigative journalist for the
website Narativ.
"These guys were seen as agents. They weren't really competent to do very much. And
so they found a niche for themselves -- blackmailing American and other political
figures."
He told Robertson, "Mr. Epstein was the simple idiot who was going around providing
girls to all kinds of politicians in the United States. See, ******* around is not a crime.
It could be embarrassing, but it's not a crime. But ******* a fourteen-year-old girl is a
crime. And he was taking photos of politicians ******* fourteen-year-old girls -- if you
want to get it straight. They would just blackmail people, they would just blackmail people
like that."
Ben-Menashe is a mysterious Iranian-born Israeli businessman who claims to have worked for
Mossad from 1977 to 1987,
The Sun reported this week. He was arrested in 1989 in the US on arms dealing charges but
was acquitted in 1990 after a jury accepted he was acting on behalf of Israel. Israel tried
to distance themselves from him, with government sources saying he never had anything to do
with intelligence services, although other news reports -- in both the US and Israel --
confirmed he did. He later wrote a book called Profits of War: Inside the US-Israeli Arms
Network and in the early 1990s claimed that Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine's dad, worked for
Mossad.
But there remains more questions than answers about how Epstein came to be one of the most
horrifying villains the modern world has ever known -- a shameless pedophile who built a
network of child sex abuse around the globe. But in this case, the rot of evil goes even
deeper than that.
How did Epstein pull off his sex trafficking scheme?
Who was a participant, and who might have helped him?
These questions -- and more -- linger still, even after inmate 76318–054 was found
dead at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City...
The Epstein Pedoscandal Mossad
Timeline shows in detail how Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were working for the
Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad.
Link to Unz.com article
The timeline generated many comments at Unz.com but surprisingly most of them dealt whether
Epstein was a pedophile or not. This despite the overwhelming evidence of pedophilia.
Many have also totally missed – or are afraid to notice – the big picture:
Israeli intelligence agencies and especially Mossad seem to be running pedophile rings that
blackmail Western political, business and scientific leaders.
Furthermore, it seems that Ghislaine Maxwell was and still is the master mind behind many of
these pedophile rings.
One of the reasons Epstein and Ghislaine were able to continue sex trafficking with impunity
for so long was the appearance that Epstein was a victim of jealous people and overzealous
police. Many people thought that Epstein had only had sex with a 17-year old girl who had lied
about her age.
This excuse worked well because in Florida the age of consent is 18 while in most other
American states it is 16.
Link to Wikipedia
Epstein was able to play the martyr by not only claiming that unscrupulous girls had lied
their age but also by implying that the age of consent is too high anyway in Florida.
This was also one reason why in New Mexico where Epstein had his Zorro Ranch the officials
refused to register him as a sex offender. In New Mexico the age of consent was 16 until in
2018 it was raised to 18.
Furthermore, unlike in many other states, in New Mexico the courts recognize a mistake of
age defense.
New Mexico courts recognize a mistake of
age defense . The mistake of age defense is basically "I thought she was 17." However,
this is no guarantee that this defense will work in court. Moreover, the mistake of age is
the creation of judges in the absence of a direct statute addressing the defense. State
lawmakers may pass a law overriding the courts on this issue at any time. ( LegalMatch
)
In reality the Epstein-Ghislaine case is not whether it is wrong for an adult to have sex
with a 17 year old. Instead it is about many other things such as prostitution, grooming,
pedophilia and the exploitation of children.
This all is connected to global politics involving sex trafficking, drug and arms trade,
money laundering, Ponzi schemes, spy networks and blackmailing for Mossad.
Epstein's victims were caught in a web of international spy network that used them as pawns
for blackmail operations. The younger the girls were, the more leverage Israel would have over
politicians, billionaires and scientists. Thus Epstein and Ghislaine tried to also recruit
girls who were well under the age of 16.
What is more, they personally enjoyed having sex with these very young girls. Both Epstein
and Ghislaine seem to have been pedophiles who were attracted to prepubescent girls and boys,
i.e. small children.
Note that in order to be a pedophile it is enough to have merely occasional sexual
attraction to prepubescent, i.e. sexually immature children who have not yet developed
secondary
sex characteristics, such as breasts.
Julie Brown from Miami Herald notes that Courtney Wild was only 14 when she was
recruited into Epstein's sex ring.
Wild still had braces on her teeth when she was introduced to him in 2002 at the age of
14.
She was fair, petite and slender, blonde and blue-eyed. (emphasis added. Miami Herald
)
Link to Miami Herald
Julie Brown also notes that Epstein preferred girls who were not only white [and non-Jewish]
but also appeared prepubescent.
Wild, who later helped recruit other girls, said Epstein preferred girls who were
white, appeared prepubescent and those who were easy to manipulate into going further each
time. (Emphasis added. Miami Herald )
For Epstein and Ghislaine it was important that the girls at the very least looked like
small children. This is obviously why they preferred girls who were under 16.
Courtney Wild told the police that she brought Epstein over 70 girls and they were all under
16.
By the time I was 16, I had probably brought him 70 to 80 girls who were all 14 and 15
years old (Emphasis added. Miami Herald )
Some girls were even younger. According to the police many were 13 year old.
The girls -- mostly 13 to 16 -- were lured to his pink waterfront mansion by Wild and
other girls, who went to malls, house parties and other places where girls congregated, and
told recruits that they could earn $200 to $300 to give a man -- Epstein -- a massage,
according to an unredacted copy of the Palm Beach police investigation obtained by the
Herald. (Emphasis added. Miami Herald )
It is also important to note that even 13 was not the minimum age for Epstein and Ghislaine.
In fact, there was no limit to how young the girls could be. Both Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell
emphasized that the younger the better.
Eventually, she said Maxwell trained her to recruit new girls for Epstein.
"Jeffrey was very particular in the kind of girls he wanted. First off, the younger the
better ."
Epstein said that to her, Giuffre claimed, and " Maxwell said that too . During the
training and telling me how to do it, she said 'You always have to go for the
youngest-looking ones .'" (Emphasis added.
The Daily Beast )
Link to The Daily Beast
It seems the primary purpose was not even blackmail since especially Epstein was having sex
with these young girls all the time. On some days Epstein was having sex several times a
day.
Sex games were more important for Epstein than work. Obviously, he was extremely attracted
to these young girls.
In six months, I never saw him do a day's work," Ransome told The Telegraph. "I never
saw him work. He was literally sexually abusing us all day long . (Emphasis added.
Business Insider )
Link to Business Insider
Ghislaine also seemed to be obsessed with sex. Just like her father, Robert Maxwell she was
rumored to be interested in unconventional sex which includes also sex with young children.
As she [Ghislaine] posed for the pics, which ran in a publication meant to promote
Sotheby's vintage fashion collection, she allegedly let slip comments that hinted at a
twisted double life.
"She didn't talk about Epstein, but during the shoot she did tell a story about how she
just hosted a dinner party for a number of young girls, and she put dildos at each place
setting," the source said. "Ghislaine then described how during the dinner two guests, who
were a couple, began demonstrating how to do the perfect fellatio on a man for all at the
table. She was laughing about it."
"A friend of mine has a whole theory about her, that Epstein was like her father Robert
Maxwell, who himself is believed to have had some strange sexual practices." (
Page Six )
Link to PageSix
The Epstein Mossad-Timeline shows how Ghislaine was most probably trained by Mossad to use
sex to gather information. That training would not have been too difficult for her since she
was hypersexual. Many even considered her a nymphomaniac.
In fact, even many Israeli Jews – who usually have much fewer sexual taboos than
puritan English and Americans – were shocked by her raunchy sexuality.
Flirtatious indeed: I understand from a mutual friend that after school she travelled
to Israel and visited a kibbutz; she was immediately ostracised by the other girls for making
a rather-too-obvious beeline for the Adonis-like lifeguard at the kibbutz pool. Very quickly
she got her way, as she would with much in her life. ( Tatler . Emphasis
added.)
Even Ghislaine's friend were sometimes shocked by her open sexuality that so often
contrasted with her otherwise lady-like behavior and position in high society.
Ghislaine was, added Mason, 'fantastically entertaining' and 'saucy' – the paper
said that she talked openly about sex .
In fact, said another acquaintance who saw her often at parties, she was 'obsessed by
sex . She's Sphinx-like, mysterious. The last time I saw her, five, 10 years ago, I said what
are you up to? And she said "I'm selling this product – stainless-steel mini dumb-bells
– that you put up your fanny. For exercising your vaginal muscles, exercise your pelvic
floor, learn the Singapore Grip. I'm giving seminars in LA and they all turn up and I tell
them, this is how you keep your man."' ( Tatler . Emphasis
added.)
Epstein and Ghislaine were both hypersexual. All kind of sex interested them. Little girls
were just part of the menu. Or more specifically, the best – and most profitable –
part.
Epstein and Ghislaine were so attracted to young girls that nothing seemed to satisfy them.
Perhaps this is why Epstein and Ghislaine created the highly risky sexual pyramid scheme. The
girls were offered two alternatives: Either satisfy Epstein and Ghislaine sexually or get more
girls to satisfy them.
In this way Epstein and Ghislaine were able to recruit literally hundreds of young girls.
However, some of these girls went to the police and the sexual pyramid scheme collapsed.
When Epstein got out of jail in 2009 he had half-learned his lesson: American girls are too
risky.
Now Epstein and Ghislaine would only concentrate on East European girls with the help of
their Jewish-Ukrainian friend Peter Listerman.
One of the lesser-known shadowy figures linked to Jeffrey Epstein and his sex ring of
teenage girls and young women is Ukrainian-born Peter Listerman, who has worked as a
businessman and television presenter but is most known for his "match-making"
abilities.
What match-making really means is that Listerman procures women, often underage, for
the jet-set society to use for sexual purposes. His "clients" include Russian oligarchs and
American businessmen and seems to have also
included Jeffrey Epstein. ( Citizen
Truth )
Link to the Citizen Truth.org
Listerman has such a bad reputation that he is shunned even in Ukraine!
Tatiana Savchenko, who founded the first modeling school in Odessa, Ukraine
explained to the Daily Beast the lengths she had to go to keep Listerman from getting his
hands on young women and trafficking them for sex work.
She claimed that he would frequently approach her students and attempt to lure them
with promises of a luxurious lifestyle, and that "It took a lot of work to keep him from
tricking our teen models in his traps." ( Citizen
Truth )
Peter Listerman is the usual suspect. Link to Fishki.net Do you think I am
kidding? I am Peter Listerman! Link to Fishki.net
Both Epstein and Listerman were attracted to very young girls. Neither even tried to hide it
much. In fact, Epstein was quite open about his attraction to tweens.
Just three months ago, as federal prosecutors were closing in with new charges, Mr.
Epstein had a conversation with R. Couri Hay, a publicist, about continuing to improve his
reputation. Mr. Epstein asserted that what he was convicted of did not constitute pedophilia,
said Mr. Hay, who declined to represent him.
The girls he had sex with were "tweens and teens," Mr. Epstein told him. ( The New
York Times )
But what is a tween?
Preadolescent is generally defined as those ranging from age 10 to 13 years.
[4][6] While known
as preadolescent in psychology, the terms preteen, preteenager or tween are common in
everyday use. ( Wikipedia
)
Epstein was right, of course. What he was convicted of in 2007 did not constitute
pedophilia. However, that is precisely one reason why people are so outraged!
Epstein and Ghislaine did not see any problem of recruiting, grooming and having sex also
with tweens. And apparently neither did the Justice Department and the FBI led by
Robert Mueller !
But it gets even worse. As pointed out in the Epstein Pedoscandal Mossad Timeline ,
it seems that Epstein and Ghislaine were after even younger girls.
In 2003 Epstein financed Jean-Luc Brunell's(?) and Jeff Fuller's(J) new modelling agency
MC2 that seemed to have worked with Peter Listerman.
MC2 obviously refers to the famous Einstein equation E = MC2 , the energy-mass
equivalence. Equally obviously, E equals Epstein, the energy, whereas the girls equal MC2, the
mass energized by Epstein.
Despite all this – or for the very reason – Epstein invested in MC2 and became
particularly
close to its founders Brunel and Fuller.
The agency operates in New York, Miami and Tel Aviv. It's in practice half-Israeli.
Many call Israel the capital of human trafficking and organ
harvesting .
Link to
Ynet.com
MC2 concentrates on importing East European girls to Israel and America. The younger the
better.
Marina Lynchuk of MC2 Lolita Lvola from MC2 Linta Lapinda from MC2
Brunel seems to have given 12-year old triplets to Epstein as a birthday present.
'Jeffrey bragged after he met them that they were 12-year-olds and flown over from
France because they're really poor over there, and their parents needed the money or whatever
the case is and they were absolutely free to stay and flew out,' Giuffre said.
She said she saw the three girls with her own eyes and that Epstein had repeatedly
described to her how the girls had massaged him and performed oral sex on him. They were
flown back to France the next day.
Link to Daily Mail
It seems that even tweens were not young enough for Epstein.
According to court papers in 2005 Brunel called Epstein and left a message that "he is
sending him a 16-year-old Russian girl for purposes of sex". However, the written message says
something even worse.
The message, filed as an exhibit in the case, was written on an office message pad,
partly in code, and read: "He [Brunel] has a teacher for you to teach you how to speak
Russian. She is 2×8 years old not blonde. Lessons are free and you can have your 1st
today if you call." ( New
York Post )
Does it mean that two eight year olds are involved? Or does 2 x 8 mean to sex 8 year old?
(2=to, x=sex)
Why would the lessons be free and why is it relevant that the "teacher" is not a blond?
There is no denying that Epstein and Ghislaine sexualised even small children. This became
clear in 2005 when police raided Epstein's Palm Peach mansion.
In one photo that was hanging on the wall a small six or seven year old girl was bending
over in a tiny dress. Police blurred out the photo in the video taken during the raid.

The so called artwork seems to be full of pedophile symbols.
Link to Wikileaks.org
The quality of the photos taken at Ghislaine's home are so good that even more symbols have
been found in her artwork.
For some reason the mainstream media has not picked up on this pedophilia angle. No
mainstream media journalist has even tried to ask why would Ghislaine have such art and symbols
on her home wall.
This despite the fact that Ghislaine is most probably an Israeli superspy just like was her
father, Robert Maxwell. She probably has been trained to use sex – including pedophilia
– as a tool for blackmail and manipulation.
At the time in Israel females molesting little boys was not even considered rape.
Link to
Haaretz.com
Nor have mainstream journalists asked where was Ghislaine when Madeline McCann was
abducted.
That would not be an unreasonable question since one of the E-Fit images looks a lot like
Ghislaine.
Link to Enchanted Life Path.com
Furthermore, two of the E-Fit images (1A, 1B) look like the Podesta brothers. John Podesta was White House
Chief of Staff to Bill Clinton and the Chairman of the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential
campaign.
Ghislaine and Epstein were close to the Clintons and the Podesta brothers have been directly
linked also to Pizzagate.
Was Ghislaine helping to run also Pizzagate and other pedophile rings for Mossad?
At least she seems to be perfectly trained to do just that. First, her own hypersexuality,
family background and possible training by Mossad made it easy for her to master mind the
pedophilia ring she run with Epstein.
Second, Ghislaine and Epstein had all the apparel to help run also other pedophile rings:
Lolita express airplanes and helicopters, Zorro Ranch in New Mexico and luxury mansions in New
York, Palm Peach and Paris.
Even more importantly they had their own island in the Virgin Islands.
In the 90s Epstein bought Little St.
James island from the Virgin islands. It had a mansion which Epstein expanded.
Soon locals started to call it the Pedophile Island.
Little St. James island. Link to
Wall Street Journal article
The island seems to have tunnels with several underground entrances.
Ghislaine has a Helicopter Pilot License and often transported quests to the island.
On the weekends in the 1990s, Maxwell would have her Rollerblades FedExed to Epstein's
island in the Caribbean, and said she got her helicopter's license so she could transport
anyone she liked without pilots knowing who they were .
Maxwell also said the island had been completely wired for video; the friend thought
that she and Epstein were videotaping everyone on the island as an insurance policy, as
blackmail.
A source close to Maxwell says she spoke glibly and confidently about getting girls to
sexually service Epstein, saying this was simply what he wanted, and describing the way she'd
drive around to spas and trailer parks in Florida to recruit them. She would claim she had a
phone job for them, "and you'll make lots of money, meet everyone, and I'll change your
life."
Maxwell had one other thing to tell this woman: "When I asked what she thought of the
underage girls, she looked at me and said, 'they're nothing, these girls. They are trash .'"
(Emphasis added. Vanity
Fair )
Ghislaine was naturally using Epstein's helicopters. Some of them shared their FAA tail
number with a US contractor, Dyncorp . That would have helped Ghislaine and
Epstein to fly drugs and children.
FAA records and Epstein's pilot's flight manifest indicate that Epstein's Bell
helicopter used the same tail number of N474AW . This was the same tail number used until
2006 by State Department contractor Dyncorp for counter-insurgency operations in Latin
America.
The congruence of Epstein's Bell N474AW and Dincorp's Bronco N474AW is noteworthy. In
2002, the year Epstein's aircraft fleet stands accused of flying underage teen girls, some
between the ages of 12 and 15 , coincided with Dyncorp's trafficking in underage females
between the ages of 12 and 15 from Kosovo and Bosnia in the Balkans.
One Dyncorp whistleblower reported to The Washington Times's Insight magazine's Kelly
O'Meara in 2002 the following on one Dyncorp employee in Bosnia:
[he] owned a girl who couldn't have been more than 14 years old. It's a sick sight
anyway to see any grown man [having sex] with a child, but to see some 45-year-old man who
weights 400 pounds with a little girl, it just makes you sick."
Tail number N474AW has been shared between Epstein's Bell helicopter like the one in
this photo. (Emphasis added.
Political Bull Pen )
DynCorp's pedophilia ring became internationally infamous with the release of the movie
Whistleblower.
Link to Wikipedia
Helicopters can always be seen. However, Ghislaine also has a license to operate
submarines!
In 2012 – three years after Epstein got out of jail – Maxwell founded The
TerraMar Project ,
[51] a nonprofit
organization that advocated protecting ocean waters.
She gave a lecture for TerraMar at the University of Texas at Dallas and a TED talk, at
TEDx Charlottesville in 2014. [52] Maxwell
accompanied Stuart
Beck (J), a 2013 TerraMar board member, to two United Nations meetings to discuss the
project. [17] ( Wikipedia )
In 2014, a
United Nations event featured Maxwell as a speaker. According to her bio in the program,
Maxwell's "web-based non-profit" aimed "to protect the Oceans by empowering a global
community of ocean citizens ." It further described Maxwell as "a private helicopter pilot
and an Emergency Medical Technician and a qualified ROV and Deepworker submarine pilot
."
A former Coast Guard officer, Borgerson was also a fellow at the Council on Foreign
Relations , which featured Borgerson and Maxwell as speakers during one 2014 talk
titled "Governing the Ocean Commons: Growing Challenges, New Approaches." Friends of Maxwell,
according to The
New York Times , said Borgerson became her boyfriend. Maxwell had allegedly described
Borgerson as a " Navy SEAL " to her pals.
Maxwell's dubious charity also roped in the Clinton Global Initiative , the now-defunct
networking platform for the Clinton Foundation. In the fall of 2013, CGI named TerraMar as
one of the "commitments to action" at their annual meeting. (Emphasis added.
Daily Beast )
Did the Pedophile Island have an underground submarine base? Was it a part of global
pedophile network?
And was the Ocean Citizens project an attempt to escape national jurisdictions and thus gain
at least a partial immunity from police investigations and prosecutions?
Link to TerraMar
Project
Interestingly, as late as 2016 Epstein bought also the nearby Great St. James Island. He
started to build on the island without permits.
There were rumors that he was building underground. For some reason the mainstream media has
had no interest in this second island.
Why is the mainstream media not interested in Ghislaine's many links to pedophilia?
Perhaps because Ghislaine has so many powerful friends. The photo of the pedophile artwork
on Ghislaine's wall was taken 13 March 2007 during a party at Ghislaine's New York townhouse.
The guest list included a curious combination of elite Jews, aristocratic Brits and American
WASPs.
The party was in Ghislaine's huge 7000-square-foot townhouse. It is located in the most
opulent and prestigious neighborhood of America, the Upper East Side , New York on East 65th
Street just off Park Avenue. Epstein's townhouse was only 10 blocks away.

story townhouse. Link to Street Easy Ghislaine's townhouse floor plan. Link to Street Easy

There are reports from reliable sources that the townhouse was sold in 2000 to Ghislaine by
Lynn
Forester de Rothschild . The very same woman who had introduced Epstein and Ghislaine to
Alan Dershowits and the Clintons in the 90s.
The Manhattan property, which is close to Epstein's mansion, is owned by Lynn Forester
de Rothschild, wife of British financier Sir Evelyn de Rothschild. (See
The Times and the original article .)
According to Business Insider Forester sold the townhouse to Ghislaine for less than half the
price.
Forester sold the mansion for about $8.5 million less than its assessed market value,
which was more than $13.4 million.
Was this a pay-off to Ghislaine from the King of Jews, the Rothschilds for services
rendered?
Hillary Clinton, Evelyn de Rothschild, Bill Clinton and Lynn Forester de
Rothschild. Link to Mint Press
It probably is also relevant that at the time of the sale of the townhouse the Prime
Minister of Israel was Ehud
Barak. In the 80s he had been the head of Aman, the Israeli Military Intelligence Agency.
As the Epstein Pedoscandal Mossad Timeline revealed, both Epstein and Ghislaine worked
for the Israeli intelligence agencies already in the 80s during the Iran-Contra operation.
Note that it was around year 2000 that Epstein and Ghislaine started the pedophile operation
in earnest. In the 80s and 90s blackmail operations were a side show but now it became the main
show involving hundreds of young girls.
Sexual blackmail – especially involving little children – can be an extremely
efficient way to influence key politicians and even military officials. A successful blackmail
operation can achieve more than several army divisions. No wonder Barak was so close to Epstein
and Ghislaine.
Furthermore, in 2000 the president of Israel was Moshe Katsev who was sexually harassing and
even raping his female subordinates. Later Katsev would be convicted of rape.
It was also in 2000 when the Israeli Vice-Consul of Rio de Janeiro, Arie Scher and Hebrew
language Professor George Schteinberg were running a pedophile ring for Israeli tourists. When
the Brasilian police started to investigate the Israeli consulate Scher managed to flee back to
Israel.
Link to Rodoh.info
In Israel Scher was not prosecuted. Instead in 2005 he was promoted to Consul of Canberra,
the capital of Australia. A spokesman for the Israeli Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem, Mark Regev
explained:
He [Arie Scher] was a young and single man at the time [in Brazil]. Now he is married
and he's six years older and there is no reason why he shouldn't make an excellent diplomatic
appointment in Australia.
Australia refused to let Scher enter the country.
Link to William Bowles Info
The most shocking part of the Arie/Aryeh Scher story is that the mainstream media was not
interested. Either the stories have been scrubbed from the internet or no stories were ever
written by mainstream journalists except one short story by BBC in 2000 and one even smaller
story
by The Sydney Morning Herald in 2005. Even more surprisingly Youtube does not seem to
have any videos about the Scher case.
No wonder Barak was absolutely convinced that the Western mainstream media would never dare
to criticize Israel and its intelligence agencies. Not even when Mossad was running pedophile
rings.
It was probably the Israeli leaders Shimon Peres, Ehud Barak and Moshe Katsev together with
the ultra-Zionist
Mega Group who made sure Epstein and especially the Maxwell family had not only immunity
from prosecution but also all the blackmail apparel necessary including luxury townhouses,
airplanes, yachts, submarines, ranch and a private island. All, of course, bugged to the
hilt.

Here the pedophile artwork at Ghislaine's New York townhouse can be seen behind Lillian von
Staufenberg who in March 2007 together with Ghislaine and Hamish Bowles organized a dinner
party in honor of Allegra Hicks. This at a time when Epstein had already been charged with
abusing young girls.
Why would Ghislaine have such a suspicious artwork on her wall knowing that it would
probably be photographed during the parties?
Why would Ghislaine and her quests take such a huge risk? Or was it a sign meant to be seen?
Was Ghislaine flaunting her power?
Ghislaine and her quests seemed to be absolutely sure that the mainstream media would not
dare to ask embarrassing questions.
They were right, of course. The mainstream media knows its place.
However, occasionally some courageous mainstream journalist or editor does try to give
hints. Some have even reported on Ghislaine's hyper-sexual reputation and her orgies. It is
just that the stories have mostly been scrubbed from the internet.
Fortunately, Whitney Webb from Mintpress has
found many of the scrubbed stories. Some of them mention the Mossad connection and others
note the orgies. For example, in 2003 a British newspaper, The Evening Standardreported
a revealing rumor.
Salacious reports have crossed the Atlantic about Ghislaine hosting bizarre parties at
her house to which she invites a dozen or so young girls, then brandishes a whip and teaches
them how to improve their sexual techniques.
It seems that Ghislaine was not only a madame to Epstein but also to the ruling elite. This
would both explain her popularity and the fact that the media – and especially the
American media – dares not to criticize her too much. Not even after her boyfriend
Epstein was charged with sex trafficking minors!
Ghislaine's friends are just too powerful. After the March 2007 party the British Daily
Mail newspaper was amazed how Ghislaine could still have attracted such creme de la
creme of the highest elite. Even more amazingly, the elite was practically swooning over
her.
The night before the party, the hostess [Ghislaine] had been inundated with calls from
disgruntled socialites, irked that they hadn't received an invitation.
The hostess greeted their objections with her customary charm, but remained unmoved. As
always, her list had been carefully edited, and she intended it to stay that way.
Among the select few were Hollywood star Matthew Modine, Kennedy family member Mrs
Anthony Radziwill, Peggy Siegel, PR consultant to the stars, and Julie Janklow, heir to a
literary dynasty.
There was a Rockefeller on the list, as well as the inevitable countesses, billionaires
and New York luminaries.
Link to Daily Mail
The guests at the party included also Renee Rockefeller who is married to Mark Rockefeller , the son of ex-Vice
President Nelson Rockefeller and nephew of David Rockefeller.
David Rockefeller lived at 146 East on the same 65th Street in the Upper East Side as
Ghislaine. They were practically neighbors. Ghislaine would have to walk only two minutes to
visit David.
David liked to pose for photos in his Beetle Room next to his favorite Picasso painting
depicting a nude child "prostitute".

David was often visited by his close friend Jacob Rothschild, the patriarch of the
Rothschild family.

As shown by the Epstein Pedoscandal Mossad Timeline both Epstein and Ghislaine
continued to move in the highest circles long after Epstein got out of jail. In fact, only last
year Ghislaine was invited to a secret writers' retreat hosted by the richest man in the world,
Jeff Bezos.
Link to The Daily Mail
Not only billionaires but also royalty kept in close contact with Ghislaine.
Prince Andrew was recently interviewed by the BBC about his relationship with Epstein,
Ghislaine and their sex slave Virginia Roberts.
Amazingly, Andrew claimed she has no recollection of Epstein's and Ghislaine's sex slave,
Virginia Roberts. This despite the fact that they were photographed together!

Virginia Roberts and Ghislaine Maxwell. Link to Daily Mail Link to The Sun.com
Hardly anybody believes Andrew. The queen had no choice but to sack his own son.
Link to
Daily Mail
Andrew got sacked because he was caught in a lie.
Andrew claimed he could not have had sex with the 17-year old Virginia in 2001 because he
had stayed with the British consul general.
The problem is the consul general does not recall Andrew staying with him.
Link to Daily
Mail
Curiously, most of the mainstream media has forgotten that it was Ghislaine who recruited
and manipulated Virginia Roberts to become a sex slave.
Even the BBC forgot this crucial fact despite Andrew mentioning Ghislaine many times during
the interview.
Time and again, the Prince invoked his friendship with Maxwell, 57, daughter of
disgraced media tycoon Robert Maxwell, as the reason he came into paedophile Epstein's
orbit.
Asked when he last saw Maxwell, Andrew said his last contact was 'earlier this year,
funnily enough', when she 'was here doing some rally'. (
Daily Mail )
Andrew claimed to have met Ghislaine last spring. In fact, they met in June just after US
prosecutors reopened the case against Epstein.
The Duke of York held a meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell in London two weeks after US
prosecutors announced they wanted to reopen their investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
The meeting took place on or about June 5, the day before Ms Maxwell took part in a
four-day charity motoring rally from London to Monte Carlo.
Did Ghislaine demand that Andrew help make sure that the her own parallel case would not be
reopened?
After meeting Andrew she literally disappeared from the face of the earth.
The ex-socialite has not been seen since although rumours have placed her in Brazil,
France, the American mid-West and even the UK.
'No one knows where she is,' a lawyer for one of Epstein's victims said last night.
'She's done the greatest disappearing act known to man – or woman.' (
Daily Mail )
Link to Daily Mail
Shockingly, during the BBC interview Prince Andrew mentioned Ghislaine many times and seemed
to be proud of their friendship. Despite this the interviewer did not dare to ask questions
about their relationship.
Was this a message to all: Leave Ghislaine alone.
Ghislaine is obviously protected not only by the royal family but also by the whole ruling
elite. No wonder that she has the
Get-Out-of-Jail-Free card .
Ghislaine also tries to protect other Epstein associates.
Link to Daily Mail
Prince Andrew is now afraid to go to the US.
Five women who accuse Jeffrey Epstein of abusing them say Prince Andrew witnessed how
people were given massages at the sex offender's homes.
The lawyer for the women has told BBC
Panorama he plans to serve subpoenas to force the Duke of York to testify as a witness in
all five cases.
He says the prince could have important information about sex trafficking. ( BBC )
Link to BBC story and video
The BBC has now finally zoomed in on Ghislaine.
Another Epstein victim, Sarah Ransome told Panorama Ghislaine Maxwell, one of Prince
Andrew's oldest friends, worked hand in hand with Epstein.
"Ghislaine controlled the girls. She was like the Madam," she said.
"She was like the nuts and bolts of the sex trafficking operation and she would always
visit Jeffrey on the island to make sure the girls were doing what they were supposed to be
doing.
"She knew what Jeffrey liked. She worked and helped maintain Jeffrey's standard by
intimidation, by intimidating the girls, so this was very much a joint effort."
Ms Maxwell could not be reached for comment but has previously denied any involvement
in or knowledge of Epstein's abuse. ( BBC )
But the American media is still not interested in Ghislaine.
What the American mainstream media always willfully forgets is that Ghislaine Maxwell is the
key person and mastermind behind the whole pedo sex trafficking operation.
The key role of Ghislaine is not surprising. After all, her father was an Israeli super spy,
Robert Maxwell.
But perhaps this is the very reason why the American media is not interested.
For years Ghislaine has been at the center of a vast pedophile sex trafficking network. But
still to this day the American police has never dared to even interview her.
I think the answer to the question in the title of this article is pretty damn obvious to
anyone and everyone outside of the controlled media. smdh. Call me crazy, but I wouldn't be
shocked to learn that pervert Jeffrey Epstein is still alive somewhere, not only do I not buy
the "suicide story," but I am not buying he was murdered either. Ghislane described the girls
involved in this pedophile ring/honey pot as "trash." If these girls are or were "trash" than
what in the hell does that this demonic witch named Ghislane Maxwell?
"... The list of those who might have some knowledge of Epstein's criminal enterprise includes a sitting president, ex-presidents, ex-prime ministers, Justice Department officials, State Department officials, FBI agents, employees of domestic and international intelligence agencies, state prosecutors, local law enforcement, politicians, ex-politicians, lobbyists, titans of industry and finance, CEOs, attorneys, accountants, banks and bankers, celebrities, academics, scientists, political operatives and executives within the Fourth Estate. ..."
"... For example, how is it possible that Ghislaine Maxwell - the "Bonnie" to Epstein's "Clyde" - has yet to be charged with any crimes? Or, as far as the public knows, even been questioned by authorities. ..."
"... Public skepticism about the "investigation" spiked when, five weeks after his arrest, the FBI finally raided Epstein's "Lolita" Island. Epstein's "ranch" in New Mexico has still not been searched. ..."
"... Every person named in court documents or press reports as allegedly or possibly having sex with an underaged girl or young woman at Epstein's bequest has denied the allegations. Which begs the question: Who's telling the truth and who's lying? ..."
"... True or not, many Americans believe the Department of "Justice" will not prosecute (perhaps even question) scores of individuals who may have broken U.S. laws and who may have been victims of a disturbing blackmail operation. ..."
"... At its core, the Epstein case will reveal whether government prosecutors and investigators possess the courage and integrity to expose sordid truths about some of the wealthiest, most-connected, powerful people in the world, and perhaps reveal embarrassing truths about our government. ..."
"... Bill Rice, Jr. is a freelance writer in Troy, Alabama. He can be reached by email at [email protected] ..."
More than four months after Jeffrey Epstein's arrest - and three months after his alleged suicide - it requires no opinion poll
to know that few Americans believe the story of the international sex trafficking ring orchestrated by Epstein and his alleged "co-accomplices"
will ever be fully told.
More specifically, many Americans believe that most (if not all) of the key questions regarding the case will remain unanswered.
For example
How many Epstein "associates" actually received sexual "services" from underage girls? Will all ( or even any
) of these people be identified, exposed and perhaps prosecuted? Were any of these individuals blackmailed, extorted or in any
way compromised?
Did employees within agencies of the U.S. government turn a blind eye to Epstein's activities? Was Epstein, in fact, "intelligence"
and, if so, on whose orders was Alex Acosta allegedly told to
leave Epstein
alone ?
Did Epstein continue his sex-trafficking operation even after being released from jail in 2009? If so, how was this possible?
Where did Epstein receive the money to fund his operation , including the acquisition of the largest private residence in
Manhattan, two secluded private islands in the Virgin Islands, a secluded "ranch" in New Mexico, two large jets and a helicopter?
Why, for years, did the "watchdog" press display no interest in a scandal that, if fully told, could qualify as the "story
of the century," a story that might implicate many more powerful people and government agencies than Watergate?
Pertinent facts surrounding Epstein's death, ruled a
suicide , have also yet to be
disclosed. One unanswered question: How was it possible an inmate who may have possessed "dirt" on the most powerful people in
the world could be left alone in his cell?
In short, at least in the opinion of many, the public will never learn how massively corrupt our system of justice may be, and
if a privileged class is in fact held to a different standard of justice, and/or is protected by the powers that be. Nor will the
public learn how prurient, immoral and brazen a cross-section of the world's elite may be.
Of course, authorities may, in fact, do their jobs and ultimately disclose the entire scale of Epstein's operation. Prosecutions
and plea deals to come could include a "Who's Who" of the world, and expose any government agencies that may have "looked the other
way."
At least theoretically, our government could expose a decades-long criminal operation, a revelation that very possibly would change
the way millions of people view the U.S. government; not to mention how the public views many powerful VIPs who navigate in the orbit
of politicians and policy-makers.
Once upon a time, the number Americans who believed justice would ultimately prevail in a case like Epstein's would probably have
filled a good-sized nation. Today, the number who posses this conviction might fill a medium-sized city.
Citizens who doubt the full story of the Epstein saga will ever be revealed have little trouble citing stories that explain their
metastasizing skepticism.
For example, plenty of people did notice when Saudi Arabia and its Crown Prince Prince Mohammed bin Salman suffered
no
adverse consequences following the gruesome murder of columnist Jamal Khashoggi , a murder many people believe the prince ordered.
Others remain befuddled as UK authorities continue to insist that the government of Russia commissioned a hit team that used nerve
agents in the assassination attempt of Sergei and Yulia Skripal, this despite the copious
number of holes that pockmark the "official" story.
Similarly, the narrative that Syria President Bashar al - Assad "gassed his own people" - a highly
questionable proposition to many - has nonetheless been widely accepted as truth, at least by intelligence agencies and a press
corps that increasingly accepts official pronouncements as incontrovertible.
[ editor's note: see
Caitlin Johnstone's latest on two OPCW whistleblowers whose claims effectively dubunk the narrative]
The
aggressive prosecution (persecution) of Julian Assange is another story that disturbs at least some citizens. The fact so few
members of the mainstream press have rallied to Assange's defense has only deepened the depression of one-time idealists.
And these examples do not include the most dubious government narrative of them all, the assertion Saddam Hussein possessed weapons
of mass destruction , a false predicate that ultimately caused the death and suffering of millions of people.
Cynics could also point to an investigation that, unlike several of the above examples, did receive incessant press coverage -
the story that Russia somehow "rigged" or "hacked" a U.S. presidential election, a conclusion accepted as gospel by most in the mainstream
press, but viewed as preposterous by millions of Americans.
In these and other cases, a growing number of citizens have come to believe that official "investigations" and "official findings"
are either a sham or intentionally omit details which do not support the desired meme.
It's within this context that millions of Americans have latched onto the Epstein story and the growing conviction that our government
(and press corp ) have become more interested in concealing
truths than exposing them.
The Epstein story is not just the latest scandal of the week. The number of individuals who could have been involved,
or who might have worked to cover-up its existence, almost certainly dwarfs the number implicated in Watergate.
The list of those who might have some knowledge of Epstein's criminal enterprise includes a sitting president, ex-presidents,
ex-prime ministers, Justice Department officials, State Department officials, FBI agents, employees of domestic and international
intelligence agencies, state prosecutors, local law enforcement, politicians, ex-politicians, lobbyists, titans of industry and finance,
CEOs, attorneys, accountants, banks and bankers, celebrities, academics, scientists, political operatives and executives within the
Fourth Estate.
Almost five months after Epstein's arrest, one is struck by curious events that have already occurred and by developments yet
to occur.
For example, how is it possible that Ghislaine Maxwell - the "Bonnie" to Epstein's "Clyde" - has yet to be charged with any crimes?
Or, as far as the public knows, even been questioned by authorities.
Public skepticism about the "investigation" spiked when, five weeks after his arrest, the FBI finally raided Epstein's "Lolita"
Island. Epstein's "ranch" in New Mexico has still not been searched.
The public has also received no indication that authorities are, in fact, questioning any of Epstein's many "associates," especially
those who may have had sexual contact with girls recruited and groomed by Epstein and Maxwell.
Every person named in court documents or press reports as allegedly or possibly having sex with an underaged girl or young woman
at Epstein's bequest has denied the allegations. Which begs the question: Who's telling the truth and who's lying? To form an opinion
on this central question, authorities would presumably need to interview anyone with possible knowledge of alleged sexual or criminal
acts. Investigators could then seek information that either corroborates or impeaches each person's account. However, evidence is
growing that the protocol in a typical "he-said, she-said" investigation is
not being followed in the Epstein case. Instead, authorities may have simply accepted as truth the
statements of denial issued by powerful
public figures .
True or not, many Americans believe the Department of "Justice" will not prosecute (perhaps even question) scores of
individuals who may have broken U.S. laws and who may have been victims of a disturbing blackmail operation.
Perhaps authorities have
concluded it's better
to not know . Perhaps they realize if they interview one suspected "John," they'll have to interview every potential
"John." if this number ends up being massive, and includes a Who's Who of our society, important illusions about society's leaders
and our system of justice could be shattered.
At its core, the Epstein case will reveal whether government prosecutors and investigators possess the courage and integrity
to expose sordid truths about some of the wealthiest, most-connected, powerful people in the world, and perhaps reveal embarrassing
truths about our government.
Americans might soon learn what objective is more important to Justice Department officials:
Protecting the
rich and powerful from the consequences of their behavior, or confirming that a system of justice grounded in trust can still
be trusted.
Sadly, many Americans are convinced authorities will not do the right thing.
However, in proving skeptics wrong, authorities would accomplish at least four objectives, all noble. They would punish the guilty.
They would provide justice to victims too long ignored. They would deter future Epsteins and future "Johns," especially those unaccustomed
to being held accountable for their actions. And, perhaps most importantly, they would allow a ray of sunshine to pierce the shadow
of cynicism that's spread across our country.
While such a development might not restore all trust in government, it would be an eye-opening start. For those who believe the
moral character of a nation is important, it would send a message that all hope is not lost .

Read "A Short Course in Secret War"... Epstein was definitely an intelligence asset.
Ghislaine Maxwell was obviously his handler. The only question really is whether he was CIA
asset doubling for Mossad, or the other way around.
Apologies if someone already posted this but on Nov 16 Joe Rogan and Matt Taibbi discussed
the current state of the MSM in a wide-ranging conversation that I think most Barflies will
find very interesting:
“When the government's boot is on your throat, whether it is a left boot or a right
boot is of no consequence.” - Gary Lloyd. We Americans are willingly blind to truth.
It'll be the death of us.
Matt Taibbi: "they’re trying to sound like legitimate news, but they’re also
completely selling out at the same time " perfectly sums up news outlets today, on both
sides.
When I was a kid, i heard, on live radio broadcast, Oswald shot to death in Dallas Police
Station - still think that's a more blatant murder of Witness.
"We don't have any institutional respect anymore".. When even the broadsheets knowingly
sow falsehoods or subtly mislead the public on a regular basis, you'd better be prepared for
the harvest. You never win back respect from someone who's sussed out your con.
"Epstein's blackmailing operation needed very young women. He wouldn't have used any one of
them for more than a few years.!!" Jackrabbit@88
Young nubile women. Which means that to call him a pedophile or a person involved in a
pedophile ring is simply demagogy. A lie told to attract attention. If the charges made
against Epstein were true he will have been guilty of many things but there is no more
evidence of pedophilia on his part than there is of cannibalism.
Please stop the quibbling over Epstein being a literal paedophile or not. You are making
yourself look obtuse over the fact that he and his assistants and friends were running a
virtual prostitution and sex trafficking operation that sucked in huge numbers of teenaged
girls at varying stages of development. No-one here takes you seriously on this issue and you
only make yourself look more seedy the more you concentrate on the ages of the victims and
trying to prove Epstein is not a paedophile. If you have no compassion for the victims who
were lured into his web with false offers of money, work or other financial support, then
leave the subject of Epstein alone.
You are arguing in favour of lynch mob demagogy, Jen. And there is nothing seedier than that.
I have a great deal of sympathy for the victims in question. I also have some sympathy for
Epstein who seems to have been murdered while society looked the other way saying "served him
right, he was a pedophile."
And he wasn't, so far as we know. He was simply a rich man abusing his power over
vulnerable people- needy girls and frustrated guilt ridden old men. A very nasty business
indeed, to which we can add his apologies for the terrorist zionist state and his support for
the US Empire.
But once it becomes accepted that a man called a pedophile can be killed or tortured with
impunity we are half way down the road that led to Auschwitz and leads to Gaza. And we can be
assured that it will become a regular smear against dissidents-as it was against Assange-
that their sexual habits, tastes or behaviour put them beyond the pale.
Most of your comments are sensible and indicative of decency and thoughtfulness on your
part, which is why I urge you to be very careful on this and other matters not to follow the
bourgeois herd- Bill Clinton, for example is a war criminal and deserving of punishment. But
the only fault the bourgeoisie can find with him is that he is sexually promiscuous.
As to the specific charges made against Epstein, they will never be proved, which is
probably why he was killed, which was made very much easier when he had been labelled a
'pedophile' and driven out of 'decent society.' Which is itself, if you think about it, a
place so sordid-if you want to talk about trafficking look at a fashion house's sweatshops in
Bangladesh- that Epstein fitted right in.

Thanks for this. I share your perspective.
It seems that "celebrity-class" reprehensible creeps are on the ascendancy-- or that may
be a perception induced by sensational, febrile Western mass-media coverage of all things
reprehensible and creepy. Unfortunately, so is binary thinking.
As it happens, I just watched a recent Rolling Stone "Useful Idiots" video; I'm ambivalent
towards hosts Matt Taibbi and Katie Halper, but sympathized with Halper's outburst to the
effect that she's getting sick and tired of having to bend over backwards to defensively
point out that she's not "for" Trump, not a Trump fan, etc. every time she expresses
any point that is arguably in Trump's favor.
I can relate. Epstein induces a similar reaction: even attempts to simply be clear or
factual in matters relating to such social monsters provokes (self) righteous outrage.
BTW, I'm also ambivalent towards your comments because they reduce me to the status of
virtual "dittohead". ;)
Now you're really sinking into a pile of shit of your own making.
I am referring to the way you quibble over the definition of paedophilia, trying to narrow
it down to a purely biologically based definition in comments on previous MoA comments
forums, and now you accuse me of lynch mob demagoguery and trying to encourage others to do
the same.
If you had only said that you had sympathy for the victims, then we might agree to
disagree and let the issue go.
I am not happy that Epstein is dead: he is a victim of his own greed and desire to be
someone influential, and he ultimately was a plaything of others for whom he was running his
blackmailing scheme and the associated sex trafficking.
You continue to damn yourself by suggesting that "frustrated guilt ridden old men" were
also vulnerable and as much victims as the teenage girls were. Did any of these "old" men
(Prince Andrew in his 40s at the time, old? - maybe in the head but not chronologically) in
their frustration realise they were being manipulated by Epstein and contact the authorities,
even though they would have risked their careers and reputations? They had a choice in the
way that the teenage girls did not have a choice: they could have chosen not to participate
in the activities at Epstein's mansions or in Little St James and walked away.
I do not accuse you or other MoA barflies of such attitudes in the way you accuse me @ 96.
This is really low behaviour and you ought to be ashamed of that.

Victims' tsar to query Force's decision not to act over Prince Andrew claims

The Victims' Commissioner is demanding that the Metropolitan Police explain its decision not to pursue a full
investigation into claims a teenager was trafficked to the UK to have sex with
Prince Andrew
.
The
Observer
understands that Dame Vera Baird QC, a former solicitor general and
chair of the Board of the Association of
Police
and Crime Commissioners, has taken a close interest in the allegations, first examined by Scotland Yard
in 2015.
Baird, who has focused on protecting victims of sexual and domestic abuse throughout her career, is currently
observing election purdah and cannot speak to the media.
However, prior to the election she made her views known to a
victims' rights campaigner
, telling him that she would be requesting a meeting with the Met once purdah was
over.
"Before the election was called I spoke at length with the Victims' Commissioner and we both find it
extraordinary that this matter was not proceeded with," Harry Fletcher said.
The Met has said that its investigators reviewed all "available evidence" after receiving a complaint relating
to claims that were made in court documents. It was alleged that in 2001 a 17-year-old, now known to be Virginia
Roberts, was "forced to have sex with Prince Andrew", purportedly at the London home of socialite Ghislaine
Maxwell, the one-time girlfriend of the late disgraced financier
Jeffrey Epstein
. His victims are now bringing claims for damages against his estate.
It is understood that lawyers for Roberts also independently contacted the force in 2016. But the Met chose not
to pursue a full investigation.
Channel 4 News
reported in August
that "the Met Police has refused to answer detailed questions about the allegations and
whether they ever spoke to Epstein, his friend Ghislaine Maxwell, Prince Andrew or anyone from the royal
household".
How seriously the Met took the claims is expected to form a key part of a
BBC
Panorama
investigation
into the Epstein scandal which will include an interview with Roberts and
is due to be broadcast in December.
The Duke of York denies having sex with Roberts. In his
Newsnight
television interview he said he did
not recall having ever met her.
But a photo of him with his arm around Roberts's waist has been widely circulated. There are claims the photo
is fake. The duke says he cannot remember a picture being taken when he was in Maxwell's house.
It is believed that lawyers for Virginia Roberts Giuffre, above, contacted the Metropolitan police in 2016.
"You would expect the
Crown Prosecution Service
to have provided pre-investigative advice in this matter," said Fletcher, an adviser
to Plaid Cymru and several victims' charities. "It needs to be confirmed whether this happened."
A spokeswoman for the CPS said its lawyers have "confirmed that we cannot comment on any input into
investigations where persons have not been charged".
In a statement the Met confirmed that it had received an allegation of "non-recent" trafficking for sexual
exploitation. "Having closely examined the available evidence, the decision was made that this would not progress
to a full investigation," the Met said. Given the heightened interest in the case, the Met confirmed it had
revisited the decision and concluded that it was the correct one. "Therefore no further action is being taken," it
said.
But speculation about what went on at Maxwell's home is unlikely to die down. Lawyers bringing civil claims
against the Epstein estate are looking to subpoena the duke, obliging him to provide testimony under oath as a
witness. The duke has confirmed that he would be prepared to help law enforcement agencies but has given no
commitment to cooperate with any civil actions.
The duke's decision to step down from public duties last week came after a raft of companies and charities
sought to distance themselves from him following his disastrous interview. It is thought that both the Queen and
Prince Charles were instrumental in forcing the duke to stand down. Prince Charles is reportedly returning to the
UK on Monday after a royal tour, when he is expected to hold crisis talks with his brother.

" In a sense, the current NeoMcCartyism (Russophobia, Sinophobia) epidemic in the USA can
partially be viewed as a yet another sign of the crisis of neoliberalism: a desperate attempt
to patch the cracks in the neoliberal façade using scapegoating -- creation of an
external enemy to project the problems of the neoliberal society.
I would add another, pretty subjective measure of failure: the degradation of the elite.
When you look at Hillary, Trump, Biden, Warren, Harris, etc, you instantly understand what I
am talking about. They all look like the second-rate, if not the third rate politicians.
Also, the Epstein case was pretty symbolic."
I had decided to stay on the sidelines for the most part after making a few earlier
comments, but I liked this summary, except I would give Warren more credit. She is flawed like
most politicians, but she has made some of the right enemies within the Democratic Party.
On Trump and " the Deep State", there is no unified Deep State. There is a collection of
Democratic and Republican politicians and think tanks funded by various corporations and
governments and bureaucrats in the government agencies mostly all devoted to the Empire, but
also willing to stab each other in the back to obtain power. They don't necessarily agree on
policy details.
They don't oppose Trump because Trump is antiwar. Trump isn't antiwar. Or rather, he is
antiwar for three minutes here and there and then he advocates for war crimes.
He is a fairly major war criminal based on his policies in Yemen. But they don't oppose
him for that either or they would have been upset by Obama. They oppose Trump because he is
incompetent, unpredictable and easily manipulated. And worst of all, he doesn't play the game
right, where we pretend we intervene out of noble humanitarian motives. This idiot actually say
he wants to keep Syrian oil fields and Syria's oil fields aren't significant to anyone outside
Syria.
But yes, scapegoating is a big thing with liberals now. It's pathetic. Our policies are
influenced in rather negative ways by various foreign countries, but would be embarrassed to go
to the extremes one regularly sees from liberals talking about Russian influence .
For the most part, if we have a horrible political culture nearly all the blame for that is
homegrown.

Sigh. Various typos above. Here is one --

Last year there was a curious attendee at Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos' annual writer's retreat; Jeffrey
Epstein's alleged 'madam,'
Ghislaine Maxwell
.
The daughter of an
accused Mossad agent
who died under mysterious circumstances, Maxwell was accused of
participating in Jeffrey Epstein's sexual grooming and abuse of underage girls. She was confirmed
to have attended at least one (and possibly three) of the secretive Bezos get-togethers, according
to
VICE
.
Two Campfire 2018 attendees independently confirmed to Motherboard that Maxwell attended the
exclusive retreat that year.
One of the sources maintained that Maxwell had attended
three Campfires including 2018
, but that Maxwell was not an attendee at Campfire 2019
held in early October. Campfire 2018 took place shortly before
a Miami
Herald investigation
resurfaced Epstein's crimes and Maxwell's alleged links to them, which
eventually led to new charges against Epstein. -
VICE
Maxwell was accompanied to Campfire by tech CEO and
Council on Foreign Relations
(CFR) member Scott Borgerson -
who denied in August
that he and Maxwell are romantically linked, or that she was hiding out at
his "secluded oceanfront property" in New England - as reported by the
Daily Mail
.
What is Campfire?
According to the report, it's an "
all-expenses-paid
retreat
courtesy of Bezos and Amazon that is completely off the record for attendees, who often
bring their spouses and partners on the free trip." It was started in 2009.
The secretive conclaves have had virtually no press coverage (aside from a 2014
New York Times
article), and has "largely remained under the radar
,"
reports
VICE
- which notes that Maxwell's attendance "further illustrates the connections that Epstein
and Maxwell maintained to the wealthy elite."
Tech moguls
,
presidents
,
well-known actors, and Prince Andrew
all came into their orbit even after Epstein's misdeeds
and Maxwell's alleged role first came to light. In fact,
a secretive
2011 dinner
in Long Beach, California
attended by Bezos and other tech CEOs was also
attended by Epstein
, less than two years after he served time for underage sex
crimes.
Maxwell, who has never been charged or arrested and has only faced allegations in
civil lawsuits
, has always denied any wrongdoing or involvement with Epstein's crimes and
has made few public appearances since they first surfaced in media reports. -
VICE
Maxwell is currently missing. Aside from a strange and
allegedly photoshopped photo-shoot
of her having a burger and milkshake at a California
"In-N-Out" (while reading a book about the CIA), her whereabouts are unknown.
Look at her familial background. Her sister, and her career. Her
father. Deeply inside CFR territory, as deeply as it gets. Her
sister Christine's company (after she'd created and sold Magellan)
was Chiliad. You've heard of it? Real time surveillance at epic
levels, purchased by governments and Intelligence agencies around
the planet and iirc she sold it recently, too. Chiliad was there
before most others and this family could swing a deep escape for
Everyone. Lol from Eps to Ghislane or anyone.
Inside. Big time inside.
Bezos typifies an individual who on their own are weak and usually
not very successful in relationships. As a youth was viewed as
geeky, strange not fitting in well with other students. We find
Bezos who uses his money to become more than life-like with the
extreme training and steroids.
He's power hungry and a ruthless
doggedness in business that built Amazon. Despite his wealth, his
wife couldn't remain in the marriage for reasons undisclosed.
My intuition is that while Bezos may have been weird as a youth
and not very popular, his power and wealth gained in later life
made the world of global trafficking, illicit drugs and pedophilia
a favorite pastime. Just my intuition, but he certainly fits the
picture of those elite who have reached the level through their
wealth of no rules..
NO rules. There's no surprise for me that Bezos chummed around
with Epstein and Maxwell.
"... Correction | An earlier version of this report incorrectly stated the name of the artist that accompanied Prince Andrew to Los Angeles in 2000 as Bruce, as opposed to Brett, Livingstone Strong. ..."
Several now-censored reports from the 1990s and early 2000s reveal that Prince Andrew’s involvement with the minors exploited
by Jeffrey Epstein is greater than previously believed.
While the Jeffrey Epstein scandal has largely faded from media coverage in the United States, it has continued to attract attention
abroad, particularly in the United Kingdom in connection with Epstein’s long-standing association with Prince Andrew, the Duke of
York and the Queen’s son.
The Epstein-Prince Andrew relationship has long been a fascination of the U.K. press, with numerous articles dating back to the
early 2000s detailing the most outrageous aspects of their relationship. Prior to that, Epstein had also garnered attention from
U.K. newspapers regarding his association with Ghislaine Maxwell, whose reputation in the U.K. is rather notorious, as was that of
her father, Robert Maxwell.
Yet, since Epstein’s arrest in July, many of these older articles on Epstein and Maxwell, as well as those focusing on the Epstein-Prince
Andrew relationship, have disappeared from the archives of several prominent U.K. media outlets that reported on these relationships
years ago.
Several of these articles, though largely scrubbed from the internet, were recently obtained by MintPress and a review
of their contents makes the likely motive behind their disappearance clear: several articles not only reference Epstein’s connection
to both U.S. and Israeli intelligence years before the first investigation into Epstein’s exploitation of minors had even begun,
but also reveal surprising aspects of Prince Andrew’s involvement with Epstein that strongly suggest that the Prince partook in illicit
sexual activities with minors to a much greater extent than has previously been reported.
Since Epstein was arrested the first time in 2006 and even more so after he was arrested again this past July, those named in
press reports as his associates have made every effort to distance themselves from the accused pedophile and sex trafficker. For
this reason, press reports that discuss Epstein long before there was any hint of the larger scandal are particularly important for
understanding the true nature of Epstein’s past associations with the rich and powerful.
In light of what is now known about Epstein’s sexual blackmail operation and sex trafficking activities, several reports from
the late 1990s and early 2000s contain details long since forgotten regarding Epstein’s relationship with Prince Andrew.
One particularly censored article that appeared in London’s Evening Standard in January 2001, for instance, gives several
indications regarding the apparent entrapment of Prince Andrew as part of Epstein’s sexual blackmail operation, which is now known
to have been connected to intelligence — specifically Israeli military intelligence, according to
recent revelations in the case.
The article, written by Evening Standard journalist Nigel Rosser, quotes a personal friend of both Ghislaine Maxwell and
Epstein as saying the following about their friendship with Prince Andrew:
The article further describes Epstein and Prince Andrew as having a “curious symbiotic relationship,” adding that “wherever Ghislaine
is seen with Prince Andrew, Epstein isn’t far behind.”
These quotes are particularly telling now that it is a
matter of record that Epstein was seeking out rich and powerful individuals and entrapping them with minors for the purpose of
blackmail. The fact that personal friends of Epstein and Maxwell at the time openly stated that their “manipulative” relationship
with Prince Andrew was “very premeditated” and “probably being done for Epstein” strongly suggests that not only was the Prince entrapped,
but that this type of entrapment activity was known to occur among those who were close to Epstein and Maxwell at the time.
Prince Andrew — as a member of the Royal Family, which is very protective of its social reputation, as well as the U.K. envoy
for investment and trade — certainly fits into the category of people that Epstein entrapped on behalf of intelligence: rich, politically
powerful, wary of damaging their social reputation, and thus susceptible to blackmail.
Notably, the year this article was published (2001), is the same year that Epstein’s most well-known accuser and victim, Virginia
Giuffre (then Virginia Roberts), claims that she was introduced to Prince Andrew by Maxwell and Epstein and forced to have sex with
the Prince on
at least three occasions. She has also claimed that Epstein would subsequently instruct her to describe the encounters in order
to learn compromising information about the Prince’s sexual habits and preferences. Her claims regarding Epstein’s trafficking of
her, specifically to Prince Andrew, have since been
largely corroborated by photographic evidence, flight logs, and public records.
This undated photo released by Virginia Giuffre shows Prince Andrew posing with a young Giuffre, Ghislaine Maxwell is shown standing
in the background
While it appears that Prince Andrew was deliberately entrapped as part of Epstein’s intelligence-linked sexual blackmail operation,
the article further suggests that Andrew’s involvement with the minors exploited by Epstein went far beyond his alleged three encounters
with Giuffre.
Rosser quotes a friend of Prince Andrew’s ex-wife Sara Ferguson as saying that Andrew “used to be smart when he came back from
abroad…He’s started having a girl massage him…He even travels abroad with his own massage mattress.”
During this same time period, Epstein and Maxwell also introduced Prince Andrew to “sex aid entrepreneur” Christine Drangsholt
during a trip to Mar-a-Lago and describes Andrew traveling to Los Angeles, where he was seen “flirting…with a group of young girls,”
and to Phuket, Thailand where he “wandered around the sex bars in the area’s red light district.” The Los Angeles trip saw Andrew
accompanied by artist and close friend of Michael Jackson, Brett Livingstone Strong, and Ghislaine Maxwell accompanied Andrew to
Thailand.
The mentions of massages from a “girl” and Andrew traveling around with Maxwell and Epstein while bringing along “his own massage
mattress,” are particularly striking given what is now known about Epstein’s sex trafficking and sexual blackmail operation. Court
documents, police reports, and other evidence have since made it clear that “massage” was
the code word Epstein and his co-conspirators used for sex with the minors he exploited and massage tables and sex toys were
frequently present together in the rooms of his various residences where he forced underage girls to engage in sexual acts with
him and others.
Most notable of all is the fact that claims of Prince Andrew receiving “massages” from girls during his trips with Epstein and
Maxwell were published in January 2001, at least two months before Virginia Giuffre states that she was first introduced to and forced
to have sex with the Prince in
March of 2001. This means that the claims of Epstein- and Maxwell-brokered “massages” refer to at least one other girl,
strongly suggesting that Andrew’s involvement with minors exploited by Epstein is greater than has been recently acknowledged.
Other recently reported information has added to the likelihood that Prince Andrew engaged in illicit activities with more minors
than Virginia Giuffre. For instance, the FBI
recently expanded its probe into Epstein’s sex trafficking network to include a specific focus on the Prince’s role. The FBI
has claimed that they are reviewing claims regarding Prince Andrew made by other Epstein victims aside from Giuffre, but did not
specify the nature of those claims.
Media
reports cite Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell as having developed a close relationship at least by February 2000, when Andrew
had spent a week at Epstein’s controversial New York penthouse at 9 East 71st Street. One
report published in 2000 by London’s Sunday Times claimed that the two were introduced by Andrew’s ex-wife Sarah Ferguson,
often referred to as “Fergie” in the press, and further claims that this introduction had taken place several years prior. Epstein
is alleged to have
first been introduced to Andrew via Maxwell in 1999.
Years after this introduction was made, Jeffrey Epstein would provide financial assistance to Ferguson at Prince Andrew’s behest
by paying Ferguson’s former personal assistant £15,000, allegedly in order to allow for “a wider restructuring of Sarah’s £5 million
debts to take place,”
according to The Telegraph.
Oddly, by April of that year, Maxwell and Prince Andrew were spotted by their fellow diners at a posh New York restaurant holding
hands, prompting both the Prince and Maxwell to claim that their relationship was merely “platonic.” However, a
separate report from 2007 in the Evening Standard refers to Maxwell as one of Prince Andrew’s former girlfriends.
Within a year of their close relationship having become public, Andrew and Ghislaine
were reported to have gone on eight different vacations together, of which Epstein accompanied them for five. Andrew also brought
Maxwell and Epstein to celebrate the Queen’s birthday in 2000 as his personal guests.
Several reports from this period also provide interesting insight into Maxwell’s business activities and private life. One article
from 2000, published in London’s Sunday Times, states that “for all her high-profile appearances on Manhattan’s A-List merry-go-round,
she [Maxwell] is secretive to the point of paranoia and her business affairs are deeply mysterious.” It goes on to say that Maxwell
“has been building a business empire as opaque as father’s” — referencing Robert Maxwell’s business empire, which included multiple
front companies for Israeli intelligence — and adds that “her office in Manhattan refuses to confirm even the nature or the name
of her business.”
On her relationship with Epstein, it states that “he’s always kept her secrets, no one knows what their relationship is really
about.” An
article from 2001 claims that Maxwell’s Manhattan lifestyle, her New York residence and her vehicles were all purchased by Epstein
and that she was employed as his “consultant” while also acting as his social organizer and interior designer.
One
report on Maxwell — which was published by the Evening Standard in 2003, years before Epstein was first publicly revealed
to be exploiting minors — contains very telling information about Maxwell’s work for Epstein. It states “Ghislaine has risen, largely
thanks to property developer Epstein bankrolling her, to become queen of the billionaires’ social circuit,” adding that “Jeffrey
only likes billionaires or very young women and uses Ghislaine as his social pimp.” It then discusses “rumors” that
Maxwell was hosting “bizarre parties at her house to which she invites a dozen or so young girls, then brandishes a whip and teaches
them how to improve their sexual techniques.”
Given what is now known about Maxwell’s role as Epstein’s procurer of underage girls and her role in “training” them in sexual
techniques, this passage — again from 2003 — reveals that Epstein’s and Maxwell’s dark acts were pretty much an open secret for years
prior to Epstein’s first arrest in 2007.
One recurring theme in many of these older reports from the U.K. is their mention of Epstein’s alleged ties to both U.S. and Israeli
intelligence. For instance, Nigel Rosser’s 2001 article contains the following passage:
Another articl e, published in 1992 in the U.K.’s Mail on Sunday, describes “rumors” that linked Epstein to the CIA and
the Mossad and claimed that he had worked as “a corporate spy hired by big businesses to uncover money that had been embezzled.”
In addition, an article
published in 2000 in London’s Sunday Times also states of Epstein that “nobody knows whether he’s a concert pianist, property
developer, CIA agent, a math teacher or a member of Mossad.”
Notably, these rumors of Epstein’s links to intelligence have since been confirmed. The CIA-Mossad links to Epstein were detailed
in
a recent MintPress investigative series and several mainstream
media reports have corroborated Epstein’s time as a self-described “financial bounty hunter” who hunted down embezzled funds
and also hid stolen money for powerful people and governments.
Another odd commonality among these now-scrubbed articles on Epstein from the 1990s and early 2000s is that the majority of them
refer to Epstein not as a “financier” or “hedge fund manager,” as has become common in more recent reports, but as a “New York property
developer” and even as a “property mogul.”
For instance, the 2001
Evening Standard article introduces Epstein as an “immensely powerful New York property developer and financier” with
an “intensively secret business life” who “owns properties all over the country [the U.S.].” It also states that Epstein had made
millions from “his business links with the likes of Bill Gates, Donald Trump and Ohio billionaire Leslie Wexner” during the 1990s
and beyond.
Wexner, in addition to his other close financial ties to Epstein,
was involved in several Manhattan real estate deals with Epstein and Epstein’s brother Mark while Donald Trump was then best
known for his career as a New York property developer and real estate mogul. Trump is also cited in a
separate article from January 2001 as being good friends with both Prince Andrew and his ex-wife. In addition, this article’s
claim regarding Epstein’s most notable “business links” in 2001 contradicts Bill Gates’
recent assertions that he never had any business relationship with Epstein and did not meet with him until 2013. Notably, Gates’
former chief scientific adviser was
recently named as an alternate executor for Epstein’s will and Gates appears on the flight logs of Epstein’s now-infamous private
plane. Gates, one of the world’s richest men, has since claimed that he only had met with Epstein in order to meet other wealthy
people and to discuss “philanthropy.”
Another article in the Evening Standard refers to Epstein as a “property mogul.” Several other articles — such as a
2000 article from Australia’s Sunday Mail, a 1995 article from Australia’s Sun Herald, and a 1995 article from the
U.K.’s Mail on Sunday — also refer to Epstein as chiefly a “property developer.” Interestingly, references to Epstein as
a property developer continued to occur (though less frequently) after his first arrest in 2007 and then again after his recent
arrest this past July, yet oddly only in non-U.S. newspapers.
Another article states that Ghislaine Maxwell had sold property on Epstein’s behalf and was also involved in the New York
real estate market.
While several articles in the early 2000s describe Epstein as both “property developer” and “financier,” even earlier articles
about Epstein refer to him exclusively as a “property developer.” For instance,
the 1992 article in the Mail on Sunday cited above referred to Epstein as “a shadowy, almost maverick New York property
developer” and noted that, even then, Epstein appeared “to have an inexhaustible supply of money and yet no one seems able to answer
the question of precisely what the source.”
As will be revealed in an upcoming MintPress investigative series, these references allude to Epstein’s shady business
activities in the New York and Palm Beach real estate markets from the mid-1980s to the late-1990s that were used to launder massive
amounts of money for organized crime and intelligence. It is likely for this reason that Epstein’s real estate activities during
this period have been so deliberately ignored by the U.S. press, even though other aspects of his financial activities were heavily
scrutinized in recent months.
Indeed, in examining Epstein’s involvement in real estate markets, particularly in New York, it becomes clear that those activities
have no shortage of controversial tie-ins to the current U.S. presidential administration as well as major New York power players
involved in suspect financial activity immediately prior to the September 11 attacks as well as the 2008 financial crisis. All of
those connections and more will be explored in MintPress’ upcoming investigative series on the financial crimes of Jeffrey
Epstein and their broader implications.
Correction | An earlier version of this report incorrectly stated the name of the artist that accompanied Prince Andrew to
Los Angeles in 2000 as Bruce, as opposed to Brett, Livingstone Strong.

Given that the thoroughly despicable Alan Dershowitz, who was also accused by Giuffre, had his lawyers combing through emails
between Roberts/Giuffre, and found emails in which she stated she didn't know who Dershowitz was, this appears to be little more
than another shakedown.
Until someone comes up with a photo of Andrew boinking Roberts, there is no reason to believe her.
This long winded column is not about "reports" its about newspaper article speculation.
Call me naive, but it seems to me that with Andrew's connections, this bimbo would have met with an accident by the time she
started in on Maxwell being a procurer.
I've had my picture take with famous people, it doesn't mean any sexual relations occurred.
I've been around, travelled a bit and lived on the streets for a few years many
years back and even I had met someone who was a victim of Epstein as a young girl.
I did not realise it was him she was talking about until recently but it all falls into place now.
Andrew's association with Epstein in itself and the proven lies being told about it are enough to show his guilt.
You believe whatever makes you feel good but not only was Epstein a pedo blackmailer and well known as such for many years
you can use your own eyes to see the body on the Gurney is not Epstein by a wide margin.
Not surprisingly he has been spotted back on his island actually since his alleged suicide.
He is too valuable to the intel agencies which use him to be allowed to die or get locked up.
For instance, the FBI recently expanded its probe into Epstein's sex trafficking network to include a specific focus on
the Prince's role.
The FBI has claimed that they are reviewing claims regarding Prince Andrew made by other Epstein victims aside from Giuffre,
but did not specify the nature of those claims.
Yes, I'm sure the FBI, the same utterly compromised organization that was so complicit in the Trump/Russia coup/hoax, is working
very hard to investigate the Epstein case.
@Curmudgeon If the email report is true, it's more likely she didn't know who Dershowitz was at the time she was forced to
have sex with him than her making it up.
As one of Epstein's chief advisors going back 25 years, one would assume Dershowitz
was intimately aware of if not guiding Epstein's espionage on behalf of Mossad.
Moreover, Fox News continues to rely on Dershowitz for spin and so much so as to presumptively implicate Fox News as a limited
hangout for Mega and Israeli intelligence in the ongoing cover up.
@Curmudgeon Giuffre, said she had sex with Andrew in Britain, but Andy could have easily and perfectly legally had sex with
younger (and much better looking) girls than the at least 17 year old Giuffre in Britain.
Andrew does not particularly like young girls, when he was young himself he went for much older women.
His wife Sarah Ferguson and American girlfriend Koo Stark were both older.
Andrew has been tabloid fodder, but he is not and never was a person of influence even by the standards of the almost entirely
ceremonial royal family.
I think he was good PR for Epstein.
Andrew being seen with Epstein after his conviction is difficult to explain if Andy was some kind of agent of influence asset
for Epstein's putative organisation.
Andy has been discredited by not immediately dropping him.
@Sick of Orcs Where were the underage girl's parents? Do you think Prince Andrew's daughter could be flown off from her high
school to some Caribbean Island to be passed around? Or Epstein?
Why is it that these white girls are in a position where they can be exploited like this?
How can some old pervert show up at a public high school and start recruiting white girls for his sexual pyramid/bribery scam?
Why are underage white girls so sexually sophisticated at age 16?
@Rabbitnexus Have you been reading Stephen Fry's memoirs? At the kind of small schools the Royals went to there was none of
that going on for anyone,certainly not them.
Andy was rumoured in upper class circles to have went gay for a while after his
divorce though.
BTW the photo of Andy with Guiffre and Ghislaine Maxwell also in the shot was taken at Maxwell's central London house.
Guiffre was 17 years at least as she now admits, so there was no crime in (16 year old is the age of consent) Britain even
if he had been fucking her brains out.
So even if he had film, where was the blackmail?
For people who speak French, it is very interesting to read Gerard Fauré book and liste to his interviews :
He's father was a physician and sub-direction of WHealthOrg and he describes paedophilia, prostitution, drug and trafficking
with political and media elites.
@nietzsche1510 When you consider Chabad's overt hostility toward non-Jews, to the extent non-Jews are dogmatically said to
have no souls and should be exterminated, save only so many as are needed to serve the Jew, it follows their presence within the
CIA, FBI, State Dept, etc is presumptively as dangerous a security breach as having Capone's men in the Chicago police or serving
as judges.
Any sane investigative heuristic would assume their guilt within the relevant reference class of Israeli espionage
and Jewish criminality.
As a member of the Royal family he should have known that he had wealth, power
and privilege but not nearly enough not to exercise great care in picking his friends.
They're the royal family, for God's sake.
They're expected to be predictable, traditional and stodgy.
@Gordo No, I am questioning the entire framework around them.
Parents.
Society. Economics.
Cultural mores.
Why is it so easy for some old pervert to pass the word that he is willing to pay a few lousy bucks (Like $300 even though
he is a billionaire) and half a high school's tenth grade girls will rush over to his house for a huge orgy session.
Why are they prepared to do these things?
And why do they appear to working class white girls? Not Jews.
Not Asian girls.
Not Muslim girls.
Nope, it was white Gentile girls.
And how are they so sexually sophisticated at the age of 15 or 16?
Is it biological? Are white girls simply more inclined to do sexual acts for money at an early age?
BTW the photo of Andy with Guiffre and Ghislaine Maxwell also in the shot was taken at Maxwell's central London house.
Guiffre was 17 years at least as she now admits, so there was no crime in (16 year old is the age of consent) Britain even
if he had been fucking her brains out.
Randy Andy denied there was any sex, so your legal strategery is not available to him.
Besides, the optics of that photo are disastrous, and well-deserved.
Jeff Stryker makes an incredibly good and valid point that needs addressing.
If anything, the Epstein case, not only promotes Jewish predation upon the non Jews, but the moral and ethical decline of the
west.
The 60's saw that begin.
Young women, even from poor working class families were still taught to have manners and be chaste.
Fathers were incredibly protective over them.
That all changed and we can certainly blame cultural Marxism which obliterated our cultures.
And we can also blame the rise of power within woman and ultimately the rise of single mothers, who see their daughter as 'best
girl friends'.
They go out, together, on the hunt for men, mother in her mid thirties, dressed the same as her daughter and the daughter 17/18
trying to solicit sex.
I was out on the weekend, with friends, after a party, in a nightclub, being approached by a 20 year old.
Her mother was there and then they both had an argument with one another, because the mother also showed interest.
I quickly left as I had no interest from the start.
The west is in a moral and ethical, rapid state of decline.
@Sean Your comment is rather absurd -- "Andy" -- what, are you on a first name basis with the useless mother fucker? -- almost
from the moment I saw the foto reproduced here, I felt "Prince Andrew" was a lying weasel -- here is the only thing I could possibly
say/ask that is even slightly in his favor: is he really so fucking stupid that he would allow such a foto to be taken? -- but
the answer to that question is probably 'yes'.
If it's a spy operation then what sort of info could he provide? For blackmail what sort
of policies could he affect? Perhaps Epstein liked hobnobbing with a 'prince'.
In this case this person is hardly different from the thousands of sex-tourists going to places like Thailand looking to obtain
cheap and often underage sex.
He's just got a title, that's all.
The entire British royal family are just a clown show anyway.
The enduring mystery of Epstein's life is how anybody managed to call him a "hedge fund manager" with a straight face.
He was
so blatantly full of shit.
Actual investment professionals were left speechless by his make-believe bafflegab strategies.
Hedge.
He couldn't tell you what Black-Scholes is if his 3:15 dick massage depended on it.
He wouldn't know a Gaussian copula if it copulated with him.
The suggestion that an autodidact's knack for Algebra II & Trig and maybe AP Calculus prepared him for securities analysis
only goes to show how stupid CIA thinks you are.
@HarbingerJeff Stryker makes an incredibly good and valid point that needs addressing.
And your comment is incredibly dumb, because in this context his "point" is irrelevant -- Epstein was accused of statutory
sexual crimes -- in the case of statutory crimes, there is no such thing as "consent" on the part of the victim --
it's simply against the law (for good reason) to engage in such acts with females who are underage -- everything else, eg whether
'the west is in a moral and ethical, rapid state of decline' or not, is a matter for another discussion.
@Jeff Stryker Young white girls are addicted to snapchat, instagram, and pornography . Snapchat and Instagram are softcore
porn sites that enable these girls to get attention from strangers, and attention to a woman –particularly a young woman– trumps
everything.
You ask how in the world young white girls could be groomed by disgusting Muslims (and they ARE disgusting), well,
they're given attention by these swarthy orcs.
And attention is everything to a young white woman.
Excitement is everything to a young white woman.
In fact I don't even think Epstein needed to pay these girls, though of course a couple hundred was nothing to him.
Young white women don't care about their heritage, their family, or their honor.
They only care about their depraved appetites being satisfied, by who or what, it doesn't matter.
They simply want attention.
True it is the fathers of these whores that are -- in the end– to blame, and I freely admit, the young white men of the West
are similarly depraved, but I don't think my description of these women is off
@Chet Roman Guiffre was working in a Trump resort and her father, who was a manager there, ran her to the interview for the
job she was offered by Epstein.
Guiffre is now being represented by the top lawyers in the country, Jewish of course and bitter
rivals of Dershowitz.
As in so many cases this boils down to arguments between Jews.
@Wizard of Oz I don't think "forced sex" was the issue but the fact that under age sex is illegal, and I don't really think
that you would have read any headlines that the queen's boy is a sex offender, which is something that has always been prevalent
in the so called British royalty.!!!!
@giddyup At 45 years old I am no longer a young man or up on youth.
I am a middle-class white, by the way.
Most 15 year old girls when I was 15 in 1989 were virgins.
A few slags, yes, but the idea of an ENTIRE HIGH SCHOOL OF GIRLS selling their bodies would have been ridiculous. Ridiculous.
Back in 1989 porn was around, but girls had no interest in watching it or women.
Even most grown men in 1989 did not watch porn habitually.
It was mostly teen boys, frat guys and a few dirty old men who watched porn.
The idea in 1989 of a female porn addict, much less a 15 year old girl, would have been impossible.
Nobody would have believed it.
Girls in 1989 cared more for their reputation than attention.
Rumors used to fly back in 1989 when some 15 year old girl had sex with a boy her own age that was relatively uncommon for
middle-class or even working-class whites.
I have not been in the tenth grade in thirty years.
Heck, I have not lived in the US in 20 years.
But it is astounding the degree to which sexual morality has changed among young white girls.
Even working class ones.
As for the British preteen girls, I suspect this is proximity.
These are poor whites who just did not sell their house in time before their community became a Caliphate/ghetto of Pakistanis.
@eah How many times can we state that Epstein and his slut B J queen wife/madam/whatever Maxwell was were amoral human pieces
of shit before we start to examine the underlying cause?
Epstein was no Charles Manson with hypnotic Rasputin charm.
And Maxwell was not kidnapping girls at gunpoint and forcing them over to the mansion.
Which leads me to ask:
What kind of idiot parent lets their 15 year old daughter fly off to an island in the Caribbean alone with some creepy Jews?
I mean it is one thing to lie to your Mom and sneak off to a slumber party or something but where were Mom and Dad when some 10th
grade girl is being flown by two Pedos off to the Virgin Islands!
How is it that half of a 10th grade of girls from a single high school are such hardened hookers at age 15 that they will rush
over to trade their bodies for cash like hardened call girls?
We know about child prostitution in desperately poor countries like Brazil or Cambodia but this kind of poverty exists in Southern
Florida among white people!
Where is Dad? Dad just doesn't care that little Suzie in the ninth grade is off to some ungodly EYES WIDE SHUT orgy with a
sinister cabal of rich people on some island in the Caribbean for the weekend .Back when I was in 10th grade girls had to lie
to go to a slumber party.
$300 is really that much to young girls in this day and age that they trade in their virginity to some creepy old pervert?
Forget Epstein and what he did.
He did it because he could.
There will always be guys that do that.
Amorality is as cheap as table sugar.
But what is does it say about white girls in society today?
I never understand those who think the royals are a supreme elite in Britain.
Rupert Murdoch and his family now that is real
wealth, power and privilege.
Anyone else who did what Murdoch and his son did with bugging people's phones would accessing the police computer and paying
them for information ect ect would get a term in prison.
Vermin.
But the establishment let them get a stranglehold over the media, so they are untouchable.
@Jeff Stryker White women in both countries, as a matter of fact, are so utterly brainwashed they mistake giving the edge
in elections to their families' executioners as proof of their empowerment.
I'm not sold on this man's sophistication or the purported CIA web of blackmailing syndicates he supposedly he had behind
him.
If this were the case, why hang around a local high school?
What sophistication? He ran a blackmailing op for an intelligence service most likely. He was crude and clumsy because he didn't
have to be subtle and deft.
Clumsy ole him didn't get caught for a long time (how did that happen?), and, when he did get caught, he got let go (how did
that happen?).
@bluedog 1) Guiffre was 17 at least, she originally claimed to be 15 but employment records in the defamation case led her
to admit she was a full 2 year older when she started working for Epstein.
While she was working for him she had a boyfriend
who was Epstein's bodyguard.
She finished at 19.
2) The photo was taken in Britain where Giuffre says she had sex with Andrew.
3) The age of consent in Britain then as now was 16.
Andrew committed no crime having sex with her in Britain and possibly not in America either .
4) If Giuffre was, as she claims, a trafficked sex slave for a honeytrap blackmailer pimp, how could she possibly have come
into possession of a photograph that was Epstein's bread and butter?
How many times can we state that Epstein and his slut B J queen wife/madam/whatever Maxwell was were amoral human pieces
of shit before we start to examine the underlying cause?
You aren't interested in the underlying cause, though.
You're interested in thinking and talking, a lot, about slutty tenth-grade white girls and the slutty, sexy, oh so interesting
things you think they're up to.
Parents should not be putting their children in modelling agencies PERIOD! They do so for their own greed, having failed in
their lives and use their children as commodities to financially gain from.
It's immoral.
Let us also understand as well that paedophilia is having sexual intercourse with pre-pubescent children.
A girl who is menstruatng and boy who is having wet dreams, producing sperm are now women and men.
They are, by nature's decree, adults and ready to procreate.
Does this mean that I have sex with children who are menstruating and producing sperm? Good God no, but I am merely explaining
that nature is above man, not the other way around and society is wrong on the definition of adult and child.
That stated, yes, sexual predators DO groom the young.
I won't deny that.
And this is PRECISELY WHY I am an anarchist and promote anarchy.
Were there no police to PROTECT these sexual predators, society would deal with them incredibly fast – noose around the neck,
hoisted over a tree bough, strung up and their bellies opened up.
Nobody really cares about 17 year old courtesans who "know" old men for money unless they can watch it on the internet.
The
oldest profession is so common around the world it is telling that the American propaganda system with its police state played
up the salacious aspects of sensationalized sex to hide, obscure and protect the real crimes of the elite – and then not say another
word about it while leaving the surveillance and opinion forming to the less than main stream media outlets.
Hedge fund manager Epstein's real troubles were probably too complicated for most of the zombies to understand because they
don't really understand finance, Only massive international debt keeps the dollar afloat, and the military.
The elites have counted on widespread ignorance in the sheep like public – the criminal law really only applies to the poor.
Lots of Americans would have gladly bedded old men for thousands of dollars when they were teenagers too knowing what they
know now but didn't know then
1) Guiffre was 17 at least
2) The photo was taken in Britain where Giuffre says she had sex with Andrew.
People should note: the info commenter Sean gives here essentially matches what Giuffre/Roberts says about "Prince Andrew",
eg in her affidavits -- but the fact that it was not statutory rape does not make it any less tawdry, and therefore something
he would naturally want to strongly deny -- what her interest might be in lying about him in particular is far less clear
-- I personally still think he is lying .
What's not known is what other girls/young women, perhaps some underage, he may have had sex with thru Epstein -- because Epstein
was murdered (duh), the investigation was severely blunted.
@Harbinger A hot 34 year old mom and hot 16 year old daughter together in a bar on the prowl for a 3 some.
Standard porn
movie plot.
Watch your porn movies if you like.
Why repeat the plots here? Are the plumbers and pizza delivery porn actors girls and the housewives men porn actors now? Pool
girl and house husband must be the new genre in porn.
And if those bars you frequent are so tawdry and immoral, why do you keep going to them?
You're behind the times.
Those hook up bars and all bars are having problems surviving, especially the gay bars.
Gays use Grindr heterosexuals use Tinder.
Cheaper no buying drinks or driving to the bar, wasting hours chatting being rejected, finally finding someone then driving
to his or her place for sex, then driving home.
@Alden I didn't read that many of Epstein's victims were Hispanic.
From what I can read the victims were white and from chaotic backgrounds.
Maybe it was a poor high school! Must have been poor for 50 students to rush out and trade their bodies for cash to some leathery
old Jewish man.
The idea that some girl could show up at homeroom and say "pssttt, there is the old creepy couple who are offering $300 if
you'll go to their house and prostitute yourself."
Epstein was accused of statutory sexual crimes -- in the case of statutory crimes, there is no such thing as "consent"
on the part of the victim
Not true because lack of consent would mean a far more serious charge .
Consent is not a defence to under age sex, but refusing to recognise there was consent by a 17 year old girl (Giuffre started
with Epstein when she was 17) is a mere legal fiction.
While she worked for Epstein, Guiffre had a boyfriend.
And when you first appeared on this site you claimed that most of the White girls in your high school were drug addicted tattooed
teen mother prostitutes.
And yes, prostitutes do recruit other prostitutes as you well know.
You've made a living in the sex and porn industry your entire life.
How do I know this? I read your posts bragging about it.
And sneering at the White American men who stayed here and managed to make a good living at normal jobs.
On the main subject of gossip I would say that the pictire of Andrew and Giufre/Roberts would be enough for a jury to disbelieve
any allegation of forced sex.
I am pretty sure that nobody thinks that Prince Andrew violently raped underage girls.
But soliciting prostitutes is illegal in many places, soliciting underage prostitutes is illegal everywhere, trafficking prostitutes
over state borders is illegal, manipulating minors to have sex is illegal in most places, knowingly using prostitutes that have
been trafficked/manipulated/forced to do what they do is illegal etc.
etc.
And not reporting it is also crime.
As is knowingly using the results of crime of someone else to your personal gain.
Andrew should convince the jury that he did not know how and why Virginia Roberts happened to be in Epstein company and why
she was so eager to have sex with him.
And court system being as corrupt as it is, he probably will succeed.
@Chet Roman When did Ghislaine Maxwell convert to Judaism?
This about her mother from Wikipedia:
"She was born Elisabeth Jenny Jeanne Meynard in La Grive, near Saint-Alban-de-Roche, France, to Louis "Paul" Meynard and Colombe
(née Petel) Meynard.
Paul Meynard was a Protestant descendant of the Huguenot aristocracy and Colombe Meynard was a Roman Catholic (whose marriage
to a Protestant resulted in her excommunication).
Her father Paul owned a silk-weaving factory and was the mayor of the village.
Elisabeth had one sibling, an older sister, Yvonne.
Her parents sent her to England at age nine to attend the convent of Our Lady of Compassion at Acocks Green in Birmingham.
In 1932, she returned to France.
Elisabeth Meynard studied law at the Sorbonne"
There is nothing about her converting to Judaism before Ghislaine's birth or at all.
You have probably not worked in social services or law enforcement.
Part of it is probably to do with getting older men to provide them with drugs and alcohol.
Obviously not all working class white girls get into this scene, but some of the more delinquently inclined ones do, especially
when they come from homes where there is drink, drugs, and crime.
One of the most stunning statistics I have ever heard, which has been verified, is that 33% of the men born in Britain in 1953
have at least one criminal conviction.
These will be nearly all white men, born before there was any kind of drug problem in England, whose parents were veterans
of World War II.
I was born two years earlier, but if I had been asked to guess the number of that cohort who had criminal convictions, I would
have guessed around 5%.
Nope! Not even close.
In fact 9% of the women born the same year had criminal convictions too.
Having lived in Florida for many years, it would not surprise me in the least if an equal number or greater of the men of the
same age as Ms Giuffre/Roberts' father's generation living in Florida have similar records.
Certainly, in various areas of social services, it is quite difficult to find male employees as a large proportion of potential
applicants are ruled out for criminal records.
So there are a lot of delinquent families living in a trailer park near you, and when relatively large amounts of money, like
$300 are being handed out in no questions cash, money talks and there are plenty of people ready to lend an ear.
@lauris71 You are getting confused with th Florida schoolgirls under age sex and soliciting conviction of Epstein.
Epstein
never faced any charges at all in relation to Virginia Roberts/Giuffre, and she was not used as a witness by prosecutors either.
They obviously did not think her stories were credible.
Rich men bang the help, and I can believe Epstein did her.
Her assertion to have been sleeping with presidents and prime ministers on Epstein's orders makes is highly dubious though.
Giuffre being employed by Epstein as a masseuse is hardly evidence of her being any kind of prostitute or victim that Andrew
had a duty to inform the authorities about.
Andrew denies having any sexual contact with her.
There simply is no possible case against Andrew. The royals are used to these kind of baseless allegations.
I would like someone to tell me why she was in possession of that photograph if Epstein was the blackmailer .
@Harbinger The people who made these laws were just trying to set some guidelines to protect young girls and boys from predators.
A civilized society is a society of laws which may not seem logical, especially over the passage of time, but nevertheless were
intended to protect the young.
Our society has changed dramatically and young people have more knowledge about sex than old people did 100 years ago.
The one thing that hasn't changed is that while nature might make young girls of 12 able to get pregnant, it doesn't mean that
their maturity is capable of fully appreciating the gravity of the situation.
The laws are still valid because a certain segment of older men need to be kept in their place and give the state the means
to prosecute those that violate the law.
Most men who might approach a 12 year old girl for sex if it was totally legal don't because there are severe penalties for
doing so.
The men who aren't controlled by the threat of punishment for any wrongdoing fill our prisons.
Just because the system is flawed doesn't mean that these child protection laws should be thrown out.
Look at countries that have little or no protection for minors, are they better than what we have? If you don't like it here
you can always move to Thailand, India or the Philippines that have little or no protection for children. Oh, I just heard, they've
started deporting people who are caught violating young children back to the US or Europe.
Thanks for the article and the organization of its contents..
they help.
But I think it might be more productive to focus on how to frame a set of null hypotheses in complete enough fashion to allow
proactive involvement of every person interested in getting to the truth of this question Does external foreign or criminal influence
control or influence the behaviors of persons, agencies or elected officials in the USA? if so what agency, person or contractor
has not been compromised ?
I think a great deal of investigative journalism should be framed in hypothesis to be tested formats..
Then, for each hypothesis discuss the matters related, present the then known facts and prove or disprove or leave open for
want of evidence to prove the null the hypothesis..
By using the hypothesis frame work, the journalist commits the audience to the investigation..
Articles such as this one come and go..
people forget the names, points made and miss or ignore items missing from the article..and cannot later retrieve the article
itself.
But the hypothesis that still stand keep getting closer and closer to the failure of evidence to prove the null.
By employing a method of research as a journalist endeavor (say by creating and numbering a set of hypothesis) and then by
setting out to prove the null for each of the hypothesis ( may serve to keep the salient facts in everyone's mind and help to
discover and properly state updated and related hypothesis to be tested.
The collective works remained connected, and can lead to a final statement for which no nullifying evidence exist.
Hypothesis: At least one of Epstein's behavior was directed by a Mossad agency.
<= what evidence proves this statement wrong?
Hypothesis; Epstein modified at least one of his behaviors to suit or accommodate a Mossad Agency.
Hypothesis: X was (is) directed by a Mossad agency.
<= what evidence proves this s statement wrong?
Hypothesis: The FBI is directed by a Mossad agency < what evidence proves this statement wrong?
Hypothesis: At least one behavior of highly placed persons in the FBI was influenced by a Mossad Agency <what evidence proves
this statement wrong? and if slightly wrong, how should the hypothesis be amended to accommodate in the hypothesis the new or
better understood information.
Hypothesis: At least one of Trump's behaviors was (is) directed by a Mossad agency < what evidence proves this statement wrong?
Hypothesis: Epstein was a CIA agent?
Hypothesis: At least one of Epstein's behaviors was directed by a CIA agency.
Hypothesis: Members of the CIA are directed by one or more foreign agencies.
Hypothesis: Epstein, et.
al was a CIA Agency
Hypothesis: Epstein was directed by an agency of Saudi Arabia..
Hypothesis: The political party (D or R) candidates for elected office in the USA are denied access to party backed candidacy
until and unless the hopeful person candidate has been compromised by a Mossad Agency?
To prove the null (that this statement is wrong) it is only necessary to show that at least one of the elected persons h/n/b compromised
by a Mossad Agency?
Until such proof is presented the hypothesis and statement stand.
What is needed is an ever narrowing set of continuously undated and restated and improve hypothesis or set of hypothesis which
stand as true until evidence sufficient to prove their positive statement ( the null ) wrong.
If the journalist involves everyone's help it might not be long until a lot of questions appear that need evidence to deny
them.
Active searches for the answers and evidence by the audience could result in proving nulls and finally shed a lot of light
on this problem the journalist is investigating.
Also such a method makes it possible to advance ideas that might be impossible using narrative methods only
IMO.
What's so damning about everyone smiling and so happy .
As if people never fake-smiled for cameras?
Once Randy Andy denied there was any sex, the 'UK's age of consent' argument no longer mattered.
Virginia Roberts Giuffre's criminal complaint is the encounter was non-consensual, she was ordered or otherwise coerced to
perform a sexual act with someone she never would have of her own choosing.
JFK did similar, using his authority to coerce frightened intern and then virgin Mimi Alford, whom he later allegedly passed
around to others epstein-style.
@Sean Look, I find you tiresome, in some ways obtuse, and would normally just ignore you -- but:
Not true because lack of consent would mean a far more serious charge.
I thought what I said was pretty clear: when one party is underage, consent plays no role in whether a criminal act occurred
: it's a crime, period -- consent/no consent -- you may be right: if the sex was forced, perhaps there are normally additional
charges -- I don't know (and don't really care, as it is not relevant here).
I do not give a damn if Giuffre/Roberts consented or not -- in fact, I have always assumed the act itself was not forced, in
the sense that "Prince Andrew" did not force himself on her -- nonetheless, a case could be made that her entire association
with Epstein was a form a coercion , and the sex acts with "Prince Andrew" happened within this context -- also, how old
was she initially when this (ostensibly) coercive relationship with Epstein began?
Finally, read my comments about "Prince Andrew": the only thing I said about him was I think he's lying -- I think he
is lying about having sex with her.
@byrresheim Alden is a woman and one who, as a former parole officer (I believe) knows a little about the law.
I am not
sure whether she sees the point of arguing whether Epstein was or was not a pederast.
I believe there is a definite point because neither Mossad nor the CIA would want to be tainted with pederasty for which there
is general disgust, way exceeding statutory rape.
BTW her "pled" is quite eccentric.
Said to be a one to twenty minoroty usage for "pleaded".
@Commentator Mike I believe many American states have the 3 year thing .
18 and 15 is ok.
In actual fact, young boyfriends don't get in trouble.
In the good old days outraged parents might want to charge them.
But realistically, those police reports went nowhere. Investigation goes nowhere when the " victim" of the crime tells the
investigator it never happened.
But over all, there are too many comments ignorant of the fact that the charges were procuring for prostitution, not statutory
rape or molestation of minors.
Until I began reading UNZ, I didn't realize there were so many middle aged fathers of 1 or 2 children so interested in the
fertility of teen girls.
I don't mean just Harbinger. It's been about 6 years I think and I noticed it from the start.
If these fertility fanatics want women to have large families they should do what my husband did.
Have a large family, instead of blathering about it on UNZ.
I can see being militantly for or against abortion.
But men obsessing about the fertility of total stranger women just strikes me as totally absolutely weird.
Think Whites should more children? Then do your part.
And Harbinger really needs to buy some medical school pediatric textbooks which have several chapters on human development
including puberty, an obstetrics text book, a standard baby and child care book, and read about the history of marriage and family
for the last 1400 years.
His claims that girls menstruated and had babies at 12 1,000 years ago is contrary to all historical fact and 1400 years of
Christian church marriage and birth records.
Men think differently than woman I know.
But I still think Harbinger's focus on pregnant 11 and 12 year olds is just weird and unseemly.
And he was the only commenter to bring up menstruation.
He was totally wrong.
Girls didn't start to menstruate at 10,11, 12 till the 20th century because of better nutrition and kerosene and electric light.
Maybe it was the only job he could get, but bouncers in gay clubs shouldn't preach about morality to others.
If they had something on Andrew (and the fact he visited Epstein after his conviction suggests Andrew was after what Epstein provided),
the problem for us Brits becomes any British government will do whatever it takes to keep the royal family from seedy exposure
which could even bring the monarchy down.
We'd become extremely vulnerable to doing things that are clearly not in our interest,
such as getting involved in Middle East wars.
@Alden Pled for the past of plead is correct english.
Still I have no use for her abominable behaviour.
The lady doth protest too much.
Perversion hides behind zealotry.
The most disgusting case of pederasty I know of – and they are all digusting – happened in Germany, Worms.
Look up Spatzennest.
The director of a foster home accused several parents of sexually abusing their children – what is called statutory rape in
certain countries.
The medical exams of several girls taken away from their parents showed no anomalies before these girls were entrusted
to his care.
They did show anomalies several months later, if you get the gist.
He ended up in prison, sadly a few years too late for those poor girls and their parents whose life he ruined.
Look it up, perhaps you come to the same conclusion I do: people who play fast and loose with that sort of slander have weighty
but ugly reasons to do so.
"Jeffrey Epstein Was Strangulated", Famous Forensic Expert Says
by
Tyler Durden

SHARES
This morning on
Fox
and Friends, Dr. Michael Baden
, a famous forensic expert and former New York City medical
examiner said that at the end of the investigation he did on behalf of Jeffrey Epstein's brother,
its findings are
more consistent with homicidal strangulation than suicidal hanging
.
Dr. Michael Baden, who was hired by Epstein's brother and observed the autopsy,
told
Fox News
that the 66-year-old Epstein had two fractures on the left and right sides of his
larynx, specifically the thyroid cartilage or Adam's apple, as well as one fracture on the left
hyoid bone above the Adam's apple, Baden told Fox News.
"Those three fractures are extremely unusual in suicidal hangings and could occur
much more commonly in homicidal strangulation,"
said Baden.
"The prominent hemorrhage in the soft tissues of the neck next to the fractures is evidence
of a fresh neck compression that could have caused the death."
"I've not seen in 50 years where that occurred in a suicidal hanging case,"
the 85-year-old medical legend told Fox News.
This disagrees with New York City Medical Examiner Barbara Sampson's rulling that Epstein's
cause of death was suicide by hanging.
"It appears that this could have been a mistake,"
Baden said.
"There's evidence here of homicide that should be investigated, to see if it is or
isn't homicide."
Isn't there anyone trying to get to the bottom of this story? It
is the most brazen cover-up ever. The official explanation of
suicide is a joke and simply unbelievable given the reported
conditions in Epstein's cell (ceiling height, etc.) and hurried
autopsy (already being challenged by experts who are concluding
murder was much more likely). Dozens of among the most powerful
people in the world had a very clear motive to get rid of him.
Wray has been examining the "malfunctioning cameras" in the labs
at Quantico for more than 2 months now and not a word. Barr, the
master of over-ups, was/is in charge of the investigation. He
promised Epstein's co-conspirators would be brought to justice but
we are to believe that not even Ghislaine Maxwell has been
located. Prison guards, including those "asleep" at the time of
his obvious murder, were supposedly being interviewed. Was there
any follow-up? There are hundreds of leads out there. Isn't
anyone following them? Unless the truth comes out, America
is lost. Justice, apparently, is not blind.
I do not think that this pedo is dead at all. He was (still is I
think) working for powerful organization/s (Mossad, CIA, Israeli
government, etc) that among other things controls the US rulers
no question about it. I do not think for a second that this
organizations let him down.
Trump and "lock her up" Hillary probably worked together on this
'suicide.'
Win-win for both, Trump can swipe his inconveniently
yet "he's a terrific guy" friend under the rug who
inconveniently hung out with Trump, and Hillary can erase Pedo-Bill's
inconveniently trips to Pedo-Island.
Trump and Hillary are same ****, different name, and that's the
reason why Killary is not locked up. 🙄
Well, TrumpO is on the record as kicking him out of his club
for unsavory behavior, and Hillary's Bill is on record making
many flights on Teenager-Trafficking Air.
So not quite the
same. No one is happier about the "suicide" than William
Jefferson.
The Clintons will never be charged, and it's not just about
Trump. (Remember, Hillary had all the dossiers on political
figures. She turned back the ones on Republicans, but kept the
ones on her own party.)
If Epstein really is dead (he's more likely to be kiddie-fiddling
down Brazil's Eastern seaboard between Fortaleza and Rio), then it
was homicide. Suicide just doesn't fit what we know about this
guy's character.
The scumbag Epstein is either as many think - alive; or, he's been
cremated. I seriously doubt reviewing some forensic notes is going
to do much besides sell air-time on some 'diddle-your-niddle'
"news" show.
Of course Epstein was murdered, the dumbest guy with Downs
syndrome has figured that out months ago. The real mystery is why
this has surfaced NOW?
I venture a guess that it will die down
and be forgotten in a week. Man, they keep baiting us with actual
justice once in a while but we know the drill, nobody with real
power will ever get caught.
My thought about Barr holding fire on Epstein is that he may have known that was a red
herring, false flag, or whatever you want to call it. That whole Epstein affair sounded like
a juicy distraction to me, in the manner of "if it bleeds it leads". When someone actually
dies who is the center of contraversial activity, you may be sure, unfortunately, that
someone, he or another, is getting close to truths that ought not see the light of day.
Somewhat in the nature of the baiting of Putin as Ukraine was beginning its time of troubles.
The old revolutionary dictum "Hold your fire until you see the whites of their eyes" may have
been in Barr's mind at the time of Epstein's demise.
Certainly such investigations as the one he is involved in take much time to sort out the
who-what-where in terms sufficiently damaging to become a credible enterprise. We have seen
such attempts fail in the past. I hope he takes his time and gets all his ducks in a row
before the hammer falls as fall it must. It is so vital to this country that this attempt
succeed; for if it fails only the shambles of Kiev style fisticuffs in Congress can be the
result. Not pretty.
In b's post we are reminded of the power of the press to misinform. I would suggest we
badly need divestiture of our media from the huge corporations now more wealthy than some
countries. The latter are too powerful in this country now, and they do need to be whittled
down to size. We not only need fact finders, we need eloquent voices to present those facts
to the public. We need free speech!
He is a deep state creature...his father Donald Barr was an OSS guy and original CIA
[which morphed from the wartime OSS]...
Barr senior was also Epstein's mentor and got him his start at the deeply establishment
Dalton School [and probably Epstein's handler as an asset or 'agent' as they are
called]...
So things go a bit deeper than the surface when it comes to Barr junior...and what he is
doing here...
There is a probably valid school of thought that the deep establishment has a faction that
is pro-Trump and behind the general idea of disengaging from wasteful overseas adventures,
since it is becoming clear that this is a ruinous path that the US cannot really afford
anymore...
I would also agree with the theory that says that these two 'deep' factions ['nationalist'
vs 'globalist'] are at war...with the 'DNC-Hillary-MSM-interventionist faction' possibly on
the decline, but still powerful enough to blow up a lot of the plans that Trump and his deep
backers would like to get done...
Epstein is a whole 'nuther can of worms here and I would not be surprised if he was not
actually dead...Trump himself is deeply entangled with many of the prime players in the
Epstein web...it all depends if he is more useful alive than dead...
Btw...pulling off a deception like a fake death is kindergarten level for these kinds of
operators and the unlimited resources they possess to shape so-called 'reality' as brought to
us on our little screens...
So really I find it kind of silly that the right wingers are looking at Barr as some kind
of White Knight...there really are none of those in these circles...as much as the sheeple
would like to believe that...
re: source of "God has an infinite sense of humor"...
Was told that in 1994[?] conversation w Jerry, a fellow worker, abt the baffling condition
of Mankind. Never heard it before or since. At the time it was one of most incisive and
impinging viewpoints; it still is.
It was said to me dryly, not coy and no smile, almost plaintively as tho it would be
ignored and pass thru unrecognized. I never met a more rational or sharper mind.
Once, I remarked I was looking for an obscure book that was mentioned in another book, as
"1 of the 3 best autobios ever written in English" by someone I never heard of. J:"Who and
what?" Me:"Kropotkin and Revolutionist".
J:"Oh, sure! I think my wife still has a copy" and he brought it in next day.[An awesome
read, too!]
Thanks for your reply! I was also thinking that perhaps it was a cynical observation made
by a stoic son of a Baptist or Methodist Minister, like the retort in M*A*S*H about
how someone like that (Hawkeye, IIRC) got into the Army--"He got drafted," which caused the
audience to erupt in laughter (definitely a context-dependent joke).

"There is a probably valid school of thought that the deep establishment has a faction that

I think this what is occuring. And when Trump says swamp, I think it is the section of the
swamp that this faction believe set the US on a ruinous path.
Good post my friend, no wonder the demoncrazies went berserk over Trump dipping in to
their honeypot. I could never definitively find a reason for those spectacular ammunition
storage bonfires in Ukraine. I figured it was either to disable their sale or cover up
theft.
W. Gruff, thanks for the process insight.
I was long-aware the removal of the Smith-Mundt Act was loaded into the 2012 NDAA. No attempt
on Trump's watch has been made to bring a needed, modern form of it back. I didn't vote for
Trump, and until the damn looney media is reeled back into factual, in-context reporting, it
will remain obvious Trump is only expanding a variety of nefarious things on the absence of
legislation such as the S-M Act.
Jeffrey Epstein accuser Jennifer Araroz filed an amended complaint Tuesday which names
two accomplices
in the convicted pedophile's alleged sex-trafficking operation
along with more than 20
corporate entities, according to
CNN
.
While Epstein's alleged 'madam' Ghislaine Maxwell has been accused of actively participating
in Epstein's sex crimes, the new complaint asserts that "secretary" Lesley Groff and former executive
assistant Cimberly Espinosa "participated with and assisted Epstein in
maintaining and
protecting his sex trafficking ring,
ensuring that approximately
three girls a day
were made available to him for his sexual pleasure
."
"The co-conspirators provided organizational support to Epstein's sex trafficking ring,
identifying and hiring the recruiters of underage girls
for Epstein's sexual pleasure,
scheduling appointments with these underage girls for Epstein's sexual pleasure
,
intimidating potential witnesses to Epstein's sex trafficking operation, and generally providing
administrative oversight of his sex trafficking operation
and ensuring it remained secret
,"
the complaint continues.
"He raped me, forcefully raped me"
Araoz told
NBC News
in July.
The 32-year-old Epstein accuser says she was 14-years-old when the abuse began. "
I was
terrified, and I was telling him to stop. 'Please stop,'
" Araoz continud.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/CYNnkAJHk_w
Groff's attorney, Michael Bachner, told CNN "As an executive assistant to Epstein, Lesley worked as
part of a professional staff that included in-house attorneys, accountants, an office manager and
other office staff."
"Lesley's job included making appointments for Mr. Epstein as directed by him, taking his messages,
and setting up high-level meetings with CEOs, business executives, scientists, politicians and
celebrities," the statement continues - adding "
At no time during Lesley's employment with
Epstein did she ever engage in any misconduct.
"
Also included in the complaint are the executors of Epstein's estate (one of whom was reportedly
seen
removing a bag of items
the day after Epstein's death).
In August, Araoz
told reporters
that her abuse at the hands of Epstein and his enablers "robbed me of my youth, my
identity, my innocence, my self-worth."
Brunel ready to talk
On Monday, an attorney for Epstein's former confidant, business partner, and model scout
Jean-Luc-Brenel says he's ready to talk to authorities, according to the
Telegraph
.
The Paris prosecutor's office opened a preliminary investigation in August into any possible
Epstein victims in its territory, and Mr Brunel is of potential interest to investigators.
Last month police searched Karin Models, which Mr Brunel founded.
In court filings, Virginia Guiffre, a long-time accuser of Epstein, claimed teenage girls
were brought to the US by Brunel and were "farmed out" by him to have sex with Epstein
.
Ms Guiffre also claims she was forced to have sex with Brunel several times. Brunel denies both
allegations.
His lawyer Corinne Dreyfus-Schmidt said Mr Brunel "firmly contests accusations in the press" and
"will reserve his statements for justice officials."
On Monday Ms Dreyfus-Schmidt, said that her client has notified the Paris prosecutor's office
that
he is at the disposition of judicial officials.

Telegraph
According to Epstein accuser Virgina Giuffre Roberts, Brunel "would bring young girls (ranging to
ages as young as twelve) to the United States for sexual purposes and farm them out to his friends,
especially Epstein."
"Brunel would offer the girls "modeling" jobs. Many of the girls came from poor countries or
impoverished backgrounds, and he lured them in with a promise of making good money."
In the 1980s Brunel was featured in a 60 Minutes expose after having gained a reputation for
sleeping with many of his underage models. His name was prominently featured in a series of phone
messages recovered from trash pulls of Epstein's mansion.
Slightly off topic, but is not the Western use of children for nefarious purposes increasing?
From the first Hong King rioter who got shot for attacking a policeman, at all of his 14
years of age, through Epstein's sexual use of young girls for blackmail, to Greta and the
climate change screaming kids. If you are younger than 18, and without or with weak parental
oversight due to challenging economic conditions (struggle to survive), you are a fair game
for the Western "elite". Earn some pocket money by burning down Hong Kong.
This will only increase, because it runs parallel to the tactics of turning adults against
each other to miss to notice the "elite's" hand in all of their pockets. Fight each other
people and send your children into the front lines. That is how they channel anger toward's
"elite's" alternative-model enemies (China) and away from the real perpetrators and the real
issues. This is why the images of Hong Kong riots overlap with the two minute hate from the
movie 1984.
Finally, the Communist elite used children too, to do the dying in revolutions, to report
their own parents the communist authorities and to severely punish ideological opponents. The
use of children is nothing new, but it shows total moral depravity.
"This one crosses a bunch of state lines. The Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts are up to
their usual responsibility-dodging gymnastics regarding their obligations to the children who
were sexually assaulted by various authority figures in both institutions. From USA
Today:
'Pennsylvania state Rep. Tom Murt slid into a pew at his childhood church, seeking a break
from politics and the stress of work. In his sermon, the priest talked about a bill pending
in the state Legislature that would give survivors of child sexual abuse more time to sue
their abusers – and the institutions that hid abuse.
Then the priest singled out Murt. Tom Murt, the priest said, wasn't defending the church
in its time of need. In fact, the Republican and lifelong Catholic was supporting the
legislation.'
What the hell? Do these clowns want someone to come after their tax exemptions? Does
Father Lobbyist want to go to hell? You can't be using your sacred office to lobby for a
specific piece of legislation. That's sacrilegious. Also stupid.
Such efforts may have appeared hyperlocal and deeply personal, but they weren't. They were
part of a coordinated effort by the Catholic Church to kill the Pennsylvania legislation.
That effort extended from the halls of the statehouse – where church-sponsored
lobbyists worked behind the scenes and testified publicly – to the very pews where some
legislators bowed their heads in prayer.
The fight is over extending the statute of limitations on complaints of child sexual
abuse. The Church and the Scouts thought they were getting over their disastrous history of
cover-up and complicity. But being an accessory after the fact is not something on which you
can skate so easily. "After the fact" doesn't have a time limit on crimes like these."
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of
the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of
grievances.
The First Amendment guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the
right to petition. It forbids Congress from both promoting one religion over others and also
restricting an individual's religious practices. It guarantees freedom of expression by
prohibiting Congress from restricting the press or the rights of individuals to speak freely.
It also guarantees the right of citizens to assemble peaceably and to petition their
government.
Very happy to see you on are the bandwagon with me in regard to the church state divide and
ongoing attacks by the religious on the US Constitution and the basis of our Founding.
A recent interview given by a former high-ranking official in Israeli military
intelligence has claimed that Jeffrey Epstein's sexual blackmail enterprise was an Israel
intelligence operation run for the purpose of entrapping powerful individuals and politicians
in the United States and abroad.
Since the apparent death by suicide of Jeffrey Epstein in a Manhattan prison, much has come
to light about his depraved activities and methods used to sexually abuse underage girls and
entrap the rich and powerful for the purposes of blackmail. Epstein's ties to intelligence,
described in-depth in a recent MintPress investigative
series , have continued to receive minimal mainstream media coverage, which has essentially
moved on from the Epstein scandal despite the fact that his many co-conspirators remain on the
loose.
For those who have examined Epstein's ties to intelligence, there are clear links to both
U.S. intelligence and Israeli intelligence, leaving it somewhat open to debate as to which
country's intelligence apparatus was closest to Epstein and most involved in his
blackmail/sex-trafficking activities. A recent interview given by a former high-ranking
official in Israeli military intelligence has claimed that Epstein's sexual blackmail
enterprise was an Israel intelligence operation run for the purpose of entrapping powerful
individuals and politicians in the United States and abroad.
In an
interview with Zev Shalev, former CBS News executive producer and award-winning
investigative journalist for Narativ , the former senior executive for Israel's
Directorate of Military Intelligence, Ari Ben-Menashe, claimed not only to have met Jeffrey
Epstein and his alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, back in the 1980s, but that both Epstein and
Maxwell were already working with Israeli intelligence during that time period.
"They found a niche"
In an
interview last week with the independent outlet Narativ , Ben-Menashe, who himself
was involved in Iran-Contra arms deals, told his interviewer Zev Shalev that he had been
introduced to Jeffrey Epstein by Robert Maxwell in the mid-1980s while Maxwell's and
Ben-Menashe's involvement with Iran-Contra was ongoing. Ben-Menashe did not specify the year he
met Epstein.
Ben-Menashe told Shalev that "he [Maxwell] wanted us to accept him [Epstein] as part of our
group . I'm not denying that we were at the time a group that it was Nick Davies [Foreign
Editor of the Maxwell-Owned Daily Mirror ], it was Maxwell, it was myself and our team
from Israel, we were doing what we were doing." Past reporting by Seymour Hersh and others
revealed
that Maxwell, Davies and Ben-Menashe were involved in the transfer and sale of military
equipment and weapons from Israel to Iran on behalf of Israeli intelligence during this time
period.
He then added that Maxwell had stated during the introduction that "your Israeli bosses have
already approved" of Epstein. Shalev later noted that Maxwell "had an extensive network in
Israel at the time, which included the then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, according to
Ben-Menashe."
Ben-Menashe went on to say that he had "met him [Epstein] a few times in Maxwell's office,
that was it." He also said he was not aware of Epstein being involved in arms deals for anyone
else he knew at the time, but that Maxwell wanted to involve Epstein in the arms transfer in
which he, Davies and Ben-Menashe were engaged on Israel's behalf.
However, as MintPress reported in Part
IV of the investigative series " Inside the Jeffrey Epstein
Scandal: Too Big to Fail ," Epstein was involved with several arms dealers during this
period of time, some of whom were directly involved in Iran-Contra arms deals between Israel
and Iran. For instance, after leaving Bear Stearns in 1981, Epstein began
working in the realms of shadow finance as a self-described "financial bounty hunter,"
where he would both hunt down and hide money for powerful people. One of these powerful
individuals was Adnan Khashoggi, a Saudi arms dealer with close ties to both Israeli and U.S.
intelligence and one of the main brokers of Iran-Contra arms deals between Israel and Iran.
Epstein would later forge a business relationship with a CIA front company involved in another
aspect of Iran-Contra, the airline Southern Air Transport, on behalf of Leslie Wexner's
company, The Limited.
The day Jeffrey Epstein turned up dead in a New York jail cell, I decided I needed to write
something about Eyes Wide Shut (1999), Stanley Kubrick's last and weakest movie.
Epstein has quickly faded from the headlines, so let me remind
you briefly of who he was. Epstein was an American Jew who enjoyed immense wealth from
unknown sources, hob-knobbed with the global elite, including Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew,
and was a pervert with a taste for underage girls, meaning that he was a serial rapist. He is
also accused of sharing these women with his wealthy and powerful friends, which would have
implicated them in marital infidelity and statutory rape, making them subject to blackmail.
In 2006, the FBI began investigating Epstein, tracking down over 100 women. In 2007, he was
indicted by the federal government on multiple counts of sex trafficking and conspiracy to
traffic minors for sex. If convicted, he and his co-conspirators could have spent the rest of
their lives in prison. But US Attorney Alex Acosta was told to go easy on Epstein, because "he
belonged to intelligence." Epstein received a sweetheart deal. He pled guilty to two state
prostitution charges and spent 13 months at a Florida county jail with generous work release.
Epstein's co-conspirators were not prosecuted at all. The records were sealed, and would have
remained so, were it not for the efforts of reporter Julie Brown , whose stories
led to the unsealing of Epstein's records, followed by his arrest and death in custody.
The most plausible explanation for Epstein's mysterious life and death is that he was a pimp
who implicated rich and powerful men and then blackmailed them, financially and politically. If
he enjoyed the patronage of "intelligence," it was most likely Israeli. When he was first
arrested, he called in favors from his patrons (and probably from his victims as well), to
avoid federal prosecution, which could have embarrassed many powerful people. When Epstein was
re-arrested, there was no way he could escape prosecution, so he was murdered to protect the
secrets of any (or all) of his patrons and victims.
... ... ...
The higher one climbs in the social hierarchy, the closer one approaches the inner party,
the greater the degeneracy and the more ferocious the assault on marital fidelity.
... ... ...
So why would the power-elites of a society engage in group perversion? The richer a person
is, the more opportunities there are for self-indulgence. After a while, though, such people
get jaded and hunger for exotic pleasures, including ones that violate the rules of morality
and the laws of society. It takes a highly developed sense of honor not to abuse the freedom
granted by great wealth. Even when such an aristocratic ethos was cultivated, there were many
spectacular failures. Moreover, today's oligarchy has dispensed with the pretenses of honor
entirely.
...Beyond routine degeneracy, elites also use sexual perversion as a tool of control. Just
as street gangs require prospective members to sully themselves with crimes to join, elites
have similar rituals, the more morally repulsive the better.
The prospects are eager to incriminate themselves because joining the gang will bring them
power. But self-incrimination also gives the gang power over its members, who must obey lest
they be exposed and humiliated. And of course worse sanctions are waiting in the wings, as
Jeffrey Epstein reminds us.
... ... ...
But for all its faults, Eyes Wide Shut has two important messages to which today's
Dissident Rightists are particularly receptive. It dramatizes important truths about man-woman
relationships and displays how sexual perversion is a tool of elite control. If you already
know the score on these matters, however, you might not want to suffer through two hours and
forty minutes of Cruise and Kidman.
According to the Washington Post, Epstein's legal team is claiming that Sigal Mandelker is
one of the people at the DOJ who signed off on the lenient plea deal. This is eye popping,
because Donald Trump ended up appointing Mandelker as Under Secretary of the Treasury. Epstein
is also claiming that Alice Fisher signed off on the deal, which is also eye popping when you
consider that according to Politico, Donald Trump interviewed
Fisher to be FBI Director. Again, this is on top of Trump having appointed Alexander Acosta as
his Secretary of Labor.
Fisher is telling the Washington Post that she did not approve the Epstein deal. There's
obviously a paper trail for this kind of plea deal showing who was and was not involved, and
it'll surface. If Epstein is falsely accusing these people, it'll only make his legal troubles
even worse. What stands out is that Epstein and Trump clearly have conflicting goals
here
Jeffrey Epstein is trying to prove that some of the people currently running the federal
government are the same people who already gave him a plea deal, and thus they shouldn't get to
bring new charges against him for the same crimes. That's a feeble argument that's unlikely to
go anywhere, but it's all that Epstein has left. It just so happens that in the process,
Epstein is pointing to additional Trump people who were (allegedly) in on the original plot to
let Epstein off the hook. This whole thing is getting uglier by the minute.
Sigal Mandelker ,
the Zionist Under Secretary of the Treasury in charge of enforcing sanctions and boycotts,
was one of the high-ranking Department of Justice officials who signed off on the
nonprosecution agreement with Jeffrey Epstein in 2008.
Was she the one who told Acosta to back off on Epstein, as he belonged to intelligence and
was above Acosta's pay grade?
Media tycoon and former Labour MP Robert Maxwell (father of Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey
Epstein's partner in crime) was given a state funeral in Jerusalem after *accidentally* falling
off his yacht – the unluckily named "Lady Ghislaine". Later it was revealed Maxwell Sr
was a Mossad asset who used his vast network of connections and publishing platforms to run
editorial interference over his purchased assets to influence enemies and friends alike,
ensuring their fealty to the foreign government that had enlisted him for its espionage
work.
His tabloid empire was the piss-colored propaganda organ of the interests he served,
overseeing its rapid growth and tentacled reach across the globe. More ominously, he was behind
the spy agency's successful attempt to install a trapdoor in software intended for government
use, allowing the Israelis a direct pipeline into a vast network of computers installed with
undectable malware.
At the time of his death, the disgraced magnate was under investigation for raiding his
companies' pension funds to cover the losses incurred from his multiple and reckless takeovers,
and finance a luxury lifestyle he enjoyed sharing with high profile pals like Henry Kissinger
and Barbara Walters. Curiously, many of these fossilized specimens from Robert Maxwell's roster
of friends from the Reagan era would circle around Epstein, most notably Donald Trump whose
Mar-a-Lago resort would later become a recruiting center for employer Epstein's underage
"massage therapists".
Fast forward a couple of decades since the days a casino mogul was gobbling down
canapés with the old guard denizens of the 'swamp'. Notice a similar, if not identical
MO in both Maxwell and Epstein's role in procuring technology for the Israelis, who in turn
sold it with undisclosed add-ons, providing an open window into its users' databases.
Like his predecessor, Epstein had a financial stake in a startup (headed by former Israeli
Defense Minister and later Prime Minister Ehud Barak) connected to Israel's defense industry
that provides infrastructure for emergency services as a call handling platform. Considering
the company's connection to military intelligence, it wouldn't be a stretch to speculate on
some of this software's other 'special' features. A variation of the early technology that
Maxwell was able to procure for his Israeli bosses was later sold to the Saudis, who leveraged
its sophisticated tracking features to assassinate Jamal Khashoggi.
Epstein, like Maxwell, was laying the groundwork for Israeli espionage activities through
his interests in companies with a political agenda concealed in products intended for
international export. If true, the playboy philanthropist feted and flattered his high profile
friends to ensnare them as complicit partners in what amounts to the legal definition of
treason. Epstein's covert activities have undiminished real world consequences for anyone on
Israel's international radar, especially those challenging the status quo policies in place
that prioritize "The Jewish State's" political and financial objectives over actual justice and
global stability.
If you have ever asked yourself why Israel's war crimes and settlement expansion go
unchallenged by US lawmakers, consider the career destroying consequences contained within
those dossiers compiled by the braintrust behind Epstein's 'suicide'. "We'll trade you one US
Embassy in Jerusalem for 10 minutes of hidden camera footage of you . . . let's say 'enjoying'
a rolled up Forbes magazine".
Were the surveillance apparatuses installed throughout Epstein's properties merely a
voyeur's tools, or did he use them to leverage the moral failings of his former friends for
purposes that might have risked exposure of more than the nether regions of wealthy
pedo-punters? Considering his connections to Israeli defense industries and his own Achilles
penis that required, by his own admission, "three orgasms a day", the answer points to an
unslakable addiction that dovetailed conveniently with his state-sponsored sex crimes.
Did Epstein make the same mistake of Maxwell (who had asked for nearly half a billion dollar
in "loans" from his Israeli backers to relieve him of his mounting debts) believing the dirt he
had in his possession would prove radioactive if released? By this time, the corpulent tycoon
was nicknamed the 'Bouncing Czech' a reference in most part to his worsening money woes. The
implication of this request, if turned down, was the exposure of Israel's state secrets.
Epstein could have also attempted to collateralize the cache of damning evidence still in his
possession to secure his his freedom with the same fatal consequences.
Both Maxwell and Epstein somehow evaded the electronics that linked them to the outside
world at the time of their deaths, even though the latter had reportedly made an attempt on his
own life while in custody. Both men, facing ruination and serious prison time gave their
executioners an alibi: They had nothing to left to live for. The establishment media is already
trotting out ancient, ding-a-ling conspiracy theories from obscure right wing sources
(attributed to Russia, of course) to highlight the absurdity and futility of questioning the
official story of Epstein's death. Verdict: Nothing to see here.
By now, it's a given that the parasitic and preferred daughter of the deceased tycoon,
made the fateful introduction between her new boyfriend and the Israeli operatives seeking an
entry level plutocrat to carry out their blackmail operations after the untimely death of his
predecessor. An impoverished socialite has to survive in pricey Manhattan somehow, and that
somehow was re-establishing the shady connections to the espionage underworld that had
recruited Maxwell Sr.
Ghislaine's later role as Epstein's Chief Procurement Officer (or pimp for short) gives
more credence to the rumors that she is more than just a debased, barnacle-like appendage to a
billionaire, desperate to please her platonic partner by "organizing his social life", but a
fully cognizant co-conspirator in an operation aimed at strengthening Israel's hand in all
matters pertaining to its national security interests, or more accurately, its overseas
criminal enterprises.
The recent raid on Epstein's Manhattan apartment was not the result of a so-called Justice
Department righting the egregious wrong it committed by letting Epstein off with a slap on the
wrist after his initial conviction that allowed him to serve his sentence largely outside the
minimum-security facility with an open door policy for its billionaire guest. More likely, the
reversal of Epstein's "sweetheart" deal was a joint operation between the oligarch cabal
informally known as the Mega-Group, and the state security apparatuses that do their
bidding.
It's seems likely that this sudden pivot towards justice from a Justice Department
initially spooked into inaction by the spook in his custody, was motivated by the need to
remove the most damning bits among Epstein's vast trove of physical evidence against the pervy
punters who visited his island getaway for unintended photo ops with underage girls.
Perhaps his own abuse of these minors was a perk he felt entitled to, and one that would
be overlooked in the service of "national security". It's hard for most people to differentiate
between the government he actually worked for and the ruling establishment on his home
turf.
It's possible that Epstein felt his serial transgressions were merely par for the plutocracy
and justified in the service of a higher calling.
The 'Israel First' philanthropist shared an unyielding ideological justification for his
own criminality as Robert Maxwell, whom the British Home Office had considered recruiting for
its own intelligence gathering in the mid 1960's. Having determined that the well-connected,
multilingual, rising star politician was strictly "Zionist", the spy agency withdrew his
candidacy.
Epstein's real crimes had little to do with raping children, despite the overturned plea
deal that came about when a federal judge ruled that prosecutors had violated the victims
rights by by concealing the agreement from them. The one time teflon-coated "member of
intelligence" who was "above the pay grade" of a powerful District Attorney (now a now
scandal-tainted former Labor Secretary) was ultimately (and lethally) penalized for not
destroying the contents of his secret-laden safes, leaving his handlers still vulnerable to
their explosive contents.
Had the doomed financier divested himself of the toxic assets still in his possession, he
might still be roaming the earth today, scouring it for new specimens to populate his underage
petting zoo. As a result of the Justice Department's decision to reverse the
non-prosecution deal meant to bury the most incendiary facts of the case, lower-rung punters
like former governor Bill Richardson and Senator George Mitchell are being publicly named for
their part in the sordid scandal. Someone has to take the fall. (Rule number one of PR crisis
management: Crucify the insignificant and let them hang out to dry until the public tires of
watching the slow motion spectacle of their undoing.) Meanwhile, documented and/or photographic
evidence against more powerful players like Bill Clinton and Donald Trump will have already
been destroyed in the pursuit of selective justice.
The fallout of Epstein's spectacular downfall predictably miss the mark as scandals
involving the rich and powerful tend to do. Much of the controversy will dissolve into a
Cheetoh dust maelstrom of disinformation, disseminated on Reddit and 4Chan by incel
info-warriors before shooting up a shopping mall or playground.
Subsequent reporting of the case will overlook decades of the elite-driven state craft
that elevated corrupt and ruthless entities like Epstein and Trump, both ring-kissing acolytes
in their youth of influential mob fixer/politcal power broker Roy Cohn – himself a serial
sexual predator who similarly caught the fancy of fellow deviants Joe McCarthy and J. Edgar
Hoover. Follow the money trail from Tel Aviv and you'll discover an ancestral link between the
corpse of Epstein and his ghostly godfathers waiting with his rewards in hell.
Along with the other disgraced and expendable patsies left in the wake of this ongoing
scandal is Alan Dershowitz, Epstein's octogenarian chief legal counsel and 'wing man' aboard
the Lolita Express. The now unemployable cable news pundit will live out the remainder of his
pointless life under a cloud of suspicion. Despite all the damning testimony against him, the
statutory rape allegations never quite stick, but follow him around like a sneaky fart, forcing
a distance between himself and the rest of humanity that will last until he is engulfed by the
sulfurous fumes of his own making.
The former Harvard law professor's lifelong service to Israel will go unrewarded – not
as a result of victim testimony placing him at multiple crime scenes, but in consideration of
his own inept self-defense strategy: "I'm a scurvy rat aboard a sinking ship eating its own
tail to stay alive. Pity me"! Dershowitz at this point will be lucky if he can achieve the same
pay grade and social status of Lindsay Lohan. Ditto for Prince Andrew who can at least be
relied on to expire slowly of gout in his time-out corner at Windsor Castle.
The moral of this story could be "Lie down with dogs and never wake up again with a
prison-issued sheet around your neck". A variation of the old "Lie down with dogs and and wake
up as fish food".Join the debate on

Seen some good Epstein links that commenters throw up here, thought I'd add some that I read
recently:
– A literary agent named John Brockman was pushing Epstein fairly brazenly:
"Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire science philanthropist showed up at this weekend's event
by helicopter (with his beautiful young assistant from Belarus) He also got into trouble and
spent a year in jail in Florida. If he contacts you it's probably worth your time to meet him
as he's extremely bright and interesting the cover of the NYpost had a full-page photo of
Jeffrey and Andrew walking in Central Park under the headline: 'The Prince and the Perv.'
(That was the end of Andrew's role at the UK trade ambassador.)" https://newrepublic.com/article/154826/jeffrey-epsteins-intellectual-enabler
– Two sisters reported Epstein decades ago, nothing happened, even after one got
death threats from Ghislaine Maxwell:
@Wally Read the complete 4 part series at mint press. She outlines Israeli/Mossad
connections to the Mega group, organized crime connections to the mega group, Epstein
connections to the Mega group, Les Wexner connections to organized crime and CIA, Mossad
spying on Clinton, attempts by Mossad to install backdoor software to spy via PROMIS which
was sold by Robert Maxwell and was installed in Los Alamos nuclear laboratory, etc.
Also the connections of Epstein and Barak to Calybr software which is a potential spy
application.
Even more so is the attempt by Paul Singer to populate US technology firms with former
Israeli intelligence assets.
@wesmouch Agreed. Their obsessions blind them to the huge story unfolding before our
eyes. Have you looked at Gilad Atzmon's post about Gordon Thomas?
His interview is in the last 25 minutes of the TruNews video.
The beauty of Epstein is that they're only hiding the deeper story. They haven't created
some heroic counter-narrative. So everyone knows Epstein's name, and they know he was a
creep.
Gordon Thomas on Robert Maxwell/Mossad Espionage Project in the USA and Beyond
The question why the USA intelligence agencies were "unaware" about Epstein activities is an interesting one. Similar question can
be asked about Hillary "activities" related to "Clinton cash".
Actually the way the USA elite deal with scandals is to ostracize any whistleblower and silence any media that tryt to dig the story.
Open repression including physical elimination is seldom used those days as indirect methods are quite effective.

Either we root out every last source of rot by investigating, indicting and jailing every wrong-doer and everyone who conspired
to protect the guilty in the Epstein case, or America will have sealed its final fall.
When you discover rot in an apparently sound structure, the first question is: how far has the rot penetrated? If the rot
has reached the foundation and turned it to mush, the structure is one wind-storm from collapse.
How deep has the rot of corruption, fraud, abuse of power, betrayal of the public trust, blatant criminality and insiders protecting
the guilty penetrated America's key public and private institutions? It's difficult to tell, as the law-enforcement and security
agencies are themselves hopelessly compromised.
If you doubt this, then please explain how 1) the NSA, CIA and FBI didn't know what Jeffrey Epstein was up to, and with whom;
2) Epstein was free to pursue his sexual exploitation of minors for years prior to his wrist-slap conviction and for years afterward;
3) Epstein, the highest profile and most at-risk prisoner in the nation, was left alone and the security cameras recording his cell
and surroundings were "broken."
If this all strikes you as evidence that America's security and law-enforcement institutions are functioning at a level that's
above reproach, then 1) you're a well-paid shill who's protecting the guilty lest your own misdeeds come to light or 2) your
consumption of mind-bending meds is off the charts.
How deep has the rot gone in America's ruling elite? One way to measure the depth of the rot is to ask how whistleblowers
who've exposed the ugly realities of insider dealing, malfeasance, tax evasion, cover-ups, etc. have fared.
America's ruling class has crucified whistleblowers , especially those uncovering fraud in the defense (military-industrial-security)
and financial (tax evasion) sectors and blatant violations of public trust, civil liberties and privacy.
Needless to say, a factual accounting of corruption, cronyism, incompetence, self-serving exploitation of the many by the
few, etc. is not welcome in America. Look at the dearth of investigative resources America's corporate media is devoting to digging
down to the deepest levels of rot in the Epstein case.
The closer wrong-doing and wrong-doers are to protected power-elites, the less attention the mass media devotes to them.
... ... ...
Here are America's media, law enforcement/security agencies and "leadership" class: they speak no evil, see no evil and
hear no evil, in the misguided belief that their misdirection, self-service and protection of the guilty will make us buy the narrative
that America's ruling elite and all the core institutions they manage aren't rotten to the foundations.
Either we root out every last source of rot by investigating, indicting and jailing every wrong-doer and everyone who conspired
to protect the guilty in the Epstein case, or America will have sealed its final fall.
Definitely there is lack of facts regarding Epstein, only plausible hypothesis. But it does
not make Epstein affair less dangerous or less sordid. For example, the role of Wexner in
it.

BTW - the whole Epstein issue only creeped up again because one reporter at McClatchy
dug into the old files, spent some shoe lather and talked to witnesses. It had exactly zero
to do with Trump.
Journalists don't just "dig up" issues that had been closed 10 years ago. Julie K. Brown
worked for the Miami Herald in 2008 when the sweet deal was done. She did not start digging
then. Journalists (and photographers) go to work because someone gives them a tip that this
will be a huge story. The context is always political.
For ten years the Epstein issue had been successfully kept out of the news.
What had changed ?
When Julie K Brown of the Miami Herald approached a former police chief of Palm Beach,
Florida, in 2017, hoping to get him to open up about his investigation of the child sex
crimes for which the wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein had been fleetingly jailed a decade
earlier, she was surprised by how unresponsive he was.
Michael Reiter told Brown he had been down this road many times and was sick of it. As
Brown recalled in a WNYC interview last month, Reiter said he had talked to many reporters
and told them precisely where to find damning evidence against Epstein. But nothing ever
came of it.
"He was convinced that a lot of media had squashed the story and he was fed up," she
said. Reiter warned Brown what would happen were she to continue digging: "Somebody's going
to call your publisher and the next thing you know you are going to be assigned to the
obituaries department."
Julie K. Brown obviously had the support from her paper in doing what she was
doing. Something seems to have happened in 2014 when
Virginia Giuffre got a first class pro bono lawyer . Successful pro bono cases are PR for
law firms, so David Boies likely had a hunch something was going to happen and this was
before Trump and before the Weinstein case.
So what had happened in 2014? I guess, some people had decided that Epstein needed to be
taken out.
That he was part of a (Israel run) blackmail campaign becomes obvious when one looks at
the connections.
@4 steven t johnson - check out some of George Webb's youtube videos pertaining to Epstein ..
he believe the pedophile angle is largely missing the point and that Epstein represented a
drug / weapons trade more than anything if i recall correctly.. interesting take at the very
least
"Connection" are Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. No, it is not at all certain Epstein was a spy.
Nor is it certain Epstein was pimping an army of girls or an extortionist, much less that
he made hundreds of millions from it. The allegations are that the girls were recruited by
other girls, who would be the ones turning their friends into prostitutes. It is amazingly
unclear that the recruiters were paid. It is clear Epstein was a customer, which is indeed
criminal.
I have no idea how you can honestly excuse the alleged accomplices (which you and everyone
else really do.) The girls were reportedly neglected and abused by their families but the
families get excused too, because apparently sexual purity is far more important than
anything else about these girls.
The issue is never whether Epstein was a criminal. The issue is whether Epstein was
the mastermind of a vast pedophile conspiracy masquerading as the Democrat Party, whether he
made his fortune as a pimp selling pre-pubescent little girls to Democrats, whether his
extortion made him millions or even tens of millions, whether Epstein's services to the
pedophile conspiracy of the Democrat Party turned the Democrat Party into a bunch a Zionist
traitors. Those are the issues. Saying it's about minimizing the crime is a lie meant to ram
through everything else.
Last the notion that Trump has nothing to do with the Justice Department as it started
what may have been a violation of double jeopardy to attack the Democrats for the upcoming
election is excessively naive. Acost wasn't even on good ground with Trump at the Labor
Department, either. The notion that Acosta wasn't concerned with Republican Party politics in
2008 is about as dubious.
Thank you for pouring some cold water on the "Jailbait Nostalgia Hour" discussion that was
simmering. Jesus...
~~
@ 42 dh - "...well brought up but ultimately one can only hope they are immune"
Of course they are immune - they have resources that you and your family have given them
to operate in this world. They are thus not helpless and vulnerable.
Epstein never took on young women with resources, he recruited those who had none.
This whole scene has little to do with sexual norms and everything to do with the power of
money over poverty, privilege over disenfranchisement, resource over hollowness.
Maybe Israel/Mossad tried to use their blackmail material after Russia blocked Obama from
bombing Syria? Isn't that when calls for a 'No-fly Zone' started?
Connections are to Iran-Contra.
The "connections" go well beyond Iran-Contra. Whitney Webb at mintpressnews.com has
described how Jewish gangsters provided blackmail services to CIA/FBI and how Epstein was
connected to the 'Mega Group' of billionaire Jewish philanthropists (some with gangster
pasts) as well as other groups and individuals that are likely to have connections to
Mossad.
A lot of this is conjecture. Epstein's funding a certain type of research certainly looks
like him acting as a kind of front possibly a CIA front.
The way he was shielded from the law in 2008 suggests he was a US secret service asset for
what other agencies he might have worked for or not.
It looks like Victoria Giuffre moving from Australia back to the United States made
all the difference .
Giuffre said she contacted the FBI in April 2014, months after she moved back to the United
States. "But, it seemed like the hands of [assistant U.S. Attorney Marie] Villafaña
and the FBI were always tied by someone else with more authority," she said.
No-one was talking about paedophilia on this comments thread until you decided to butt in
and mention it. What are you trying to insinuate?
People were talking about trafficking young women, most of them from impoverished
backgrounds or dysfunctional families afflicted by violence or alcoholism, and recruited with
promises of easy wealth and security, as prostitutes / sex slaves for wealthy men. No-one was
talking about consent laws.
The more you pontificate on this issue in the way you have done on past MoA comments
forums and elsewhere, as though to muddy the conversation with irrelevant information about
age of consent laws and how to slice-n-dice the definition of paedophilia, encourages people
to suspect you have a hidden agenda, and perhaps not a pleasant one at that.
bevin defends perversity with circular logic that will make your head spin.
40 year olds with 14 year olds? Its only natural, he claims. To think otherwise is
defending the wealthy who have imposed this outrage upon us . Yeah, the old scumbags
that want to bed 14 year olds TRICKED us into enacting bizarre laws that protect our children
from them. LOL.
It would all be devilishly clever, if we were stupid enough to believe bevin's outlandish
drivel.
Why are 4 or 5 MoA regulars defending Epstein - weeks after his demise?
Who would defend Epstein except hasbara propagandists? They know that Epstein is Jewish
and believed to be (with good reason!) a key member of a Mossad blackmail op.
It's almost comical to see them in action. @4 steven t johnson wraps his pro-Epstein views
in the colors of democracy but his STFU message comes through loud and clear.
bevin, who has previously been warned about his twisted views about child sex (as
Jen appropriately points out) , can't resist regaling us once again(!) with the
same crap.
donkeytale attempts to use bro culture to defuse the outrage.
Walter handles the historical angle. Would you defend child sacrifice Walter?
(Historical antecedents!)
Thank you jackrabbit #68, the combined effort of the apologist team is disgusting and totally
exposes their ulterior motive - to excuse the Maxwell and Wexner complicity in this ongoing

Your succinct rebuttal is welcome as are the sane words of jen.
When I stumbled across the New Yorker article about the Epstein rock spider's control over
MIT Media Labs, the first thing which occurred to me was "that's interesting, WTF does this
MIT Media Labs thing do?"
After googling, duckduck going and yandexing this joint I am still none the wiser.
eg Check out this sleazy operation's wikipedia page & see if you become
enlightened.
No? Same here, I particularly like this piece of what used to be called guff:
"Some recurring themes of work at the Media Lab include human adaptability,[18] human
computer interaction, education and communication, artistic creation and visualization, and
designing technology for the developing world. Other research focus includes machines with
common sense, sociable robots, prosthetics, sensor networks, musical devices, city design,
and public health. Research programs all include iterative development of prototypes which
are tested and displayed for visitors"
.
Hmm not good, the news media is saturated with articles about how the rock spider would
turn up to meetings with a female child on each arm, a couple of scientist virtue signalled
how they would rescuse the children although none did, yet there isn't anything anywhere in
any article which specifically deals with what was discussed. Isn't that rather odd?
Nearly all the corporations listed had links to their web site conveniently included which
was handy since apart from Buzz Feed News I was unfamiliar with most.
I Haven't included any links altho the 'about page of Buzz Feed is an indication of their
propaganda bent and the Crowd Supply page had me wondering if MIT Media Labs was about
developing spy ware.
Well spyware and a lot of other nefarious shit I would say. No wonder MIT bosses rid
themselves of Joi Ito so fast, not doing so would almost certainly have caused investigation
of the Media Labs and could have caused some otherwise dutiful believers to wonder if MIT
really was into 'academic objectivity'.
A good guess would be research regime change and population control, foreign and
domestic.
From your wiki link ..
"The Media Lab was founded in 1985 by Nicholas Negroponte and former MIT President Jerome
Wiesner, and is housed in the Wiesner Building (designed by I. M. Pei), also known as
Building E15. The Lab has been written about in the popular press since 1988, when Stewart
Brand published The Media Lab: Inventing the Future at M.I.T., and its work was a regular
feature of technology journals in the 1990s. In 2009, it expanded into a second building"

Well that is interesting as it seems many posters prefer discussing tabloid gossip whose
effect is pretty much confined to the participants, than issues which could effect all of us.
Peter AU, one of the few who considered this highly relevant issue, has interpreted the
Media Lab mission statement or WTF it is as, "research regime change and population
control, foreign and domestic ", which it may well be that open ended guff at the site
certainly doesn't preclude it but it also doesn't satisfy my point about how it is that
everyone in journalism appears completely untroubled by the complete paucity of information
that an organisation which troubles them because of its close relationship with a notorious
rock spider, has been permitted to blithely skate through upon.
If this organisation is shady because it enabled Epstein's reprehensible behaviour surely
that organ of democracy, a free press would also check out what it was that this organisation
did to attract the largesse of a pedophile.
Incidentally FWIW, I have no doubt that the Epstein gang committed genuinely evil acts
against children.
There was a link here a coupla months back to a Whitney Webb article which detailed how
one of Epstein's 'girls' had been kidnapped off a NJ street when her mother went into a store
to pay for some takeaway pizza. That 'young adult' was 11 years old and she had to endure an
argument between Epstein & one of his clients about which one had the 'right'
to take her vaginal virginity after both had just sodomized her.
Tell me again this was just a bit of fun between some high spirited fellas.
I have known a few women 'on the game' in the course of my life and too many of them had
horror stories of pre-teen rape and other abuse in their past for me to believe that it is
all jolly hockeysticks and bluebells. I should also point out that where I live prostitution
has been legal for more than 20 years.
It makes no difference because although some women are smart and self-motivated enough to
dealt with the hypocrisy of a society which allows prostitution while is disparages the
prostitutes, reality is that a majority of women hawk their forks because they have been made
to feel that their vaginas are their sole marketable feature, and the disparagement they cop
from nearly every part of society reinforces that.
People who have been subjected to abuse as a child frequently have a substandard education
because for example, at the time other kids are asking their Dads to lend a hand with a
science project, they are having to devote their time and energy to ensuring that they are
never alone in a room with 'Dad'.
The MIT founder is associated with Murdoch who was a founding member of Reagan's perception
management. The MIT's founder was put in charge of Murdoch's propaganda purchase to ensure
editorial integrity.
MIT researches perception management.
The wheel revolves.
MIT are the techbros par excellence . From the very early days of the "internet"
and personal computers, they were at the forefront to popularises this thing (and making all
its surveillance / spying / controlling origins.
..."We will develop a scenario for obtaining private funding," ...
Drug trade + weapons trade + energy prime sources trade [petroleum and U235 + nuclear
reactors] operating under "cover of law" using "national security" as perfect cover to enable
secret/off-the-books operations by private groups without actual government oversight. The
surveillance/assassination state.
A. McCoy [Politics of Heroin in S Asia] explained how, under DeGaulle, France was able to
covertly fund secret operations after WW2 using opiate drugs. The above is the natural
extension of that successful policy.
That is Epstien's world. His pedophilia is a sensational attention grabber [Hey! Look at
that red herring!] albeit despicable, so we do not see the rest.
All of us have been programmed, some more spinny than others but most unable to confront
the utter lies of the collapse of WorkdTradeCenter Bldg. #7 or the JFK Magic Bullet or What
were we doing killing millions in Viet Nam and leaving the legacy of unexploded bomblets and
Agent Orange.
Jeffery Epstein was arrested on July 6 for the sex trafficking of minors within the US.
The billionaire shared the same personal network that included Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu, former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak, infamous Blackwater founder
Erik Prince, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, UAE Crown Prince Mohamed bin Zayed,
Donald Trump and Bill Clinton.
Israeli ties notwithstanding, the Carbyne investor and advisory board brought strong
ties to the US military-industrial complex.
Michael Chertoff, who ran Homeland Security under former president George W. Bush,
serves on Carbyne's advisory board. Chertoff wrote the Patriot Act, which authorised
sweeping digital surveillance of Americans.
Peter Thiel, one of the founders of Paypal, Facebook and Palantir, is also a Carbyne
investor.
Thiel is an avid Trump supporter, and is heavily invested in military and intelligence
companies. Thiel's Palantir is described as making use of "war on terror tools to track
American citizens".
Trae Stephens, another co-founder of Palantir, is on Carbyne's advisory board. Stephens
also served as the head of Trump's Department of Defense transition team.
....
Given that Epstein spent only 13 months in jail for what appears to be a 38-year
crime-spree, how did Epstein evade justice? The answer may lie in a gentlemen's agreement
shaping the Israeli-US intelligence relationship. Essentially, spies can operate with
impunity when both countries agree on the same security objectives.
With a technology and espionage sector rife with criminals like Epstein, Chinese and
Russian oligarch investors; there is more than meets the eye to Israel's intelligence. More
critically, its security industry may be more compromised and unrestricted than the rest of
the world is able to recognise.
For nations not in the know, it could mean their security and privacy. For authoritarian
leaders, the no-qualms approach Israel offers could be the opportunity of a lifetime.
Ref MIT lab MIT establishes the trends in terms of nowadays Academia. US prestige. What is funded.
Result: European and Arab sheeps aka decision makers going 100% technology, hard science and
hyper-specialization.
Best way to avoid dissent, critical reflection, creativity.
You taxpayers did not wonder where has all the education money gone? Why were social
sciences left deriving neuro? or humanities deriving statistics and computing?
ben@67 somehow thinks that if I remind anyone that the goal of the Epstein re-run is to paint
the Democratic Party, almost officially known as the Democrat Party by Republicans, as a
monstrous pedophile conspiracy operated by Jew gangsters, I am endorsing this madness.
It is
of course people who excuse all the accomplices and all the families in this, tacitly
insisting Epstein had demonic powers, while falsely equating rejection of this insane vicious
scheme with defense of pedophilia who are promoting antisemitic pedophile=Democrat Party
allegations. There is no decent motive for this. It is as contemptible as insisting the
Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a real expose.
The horrible story about kidnapping an eleven year old girl off the street after the mom
went into a pizzeria? This is an excellent example of the filthy hypocrites excusing all
sorts of criminals so they can Jew bait pedophile Democrat Party monsters. When the mother
walks out of the store, she reports a missing child.
Which police commander suppressed the report? When the girl resurfaces with this hideous
tale, which police commander suppressed the investigation into the kidnapping? If the mother
didn't report the rape at all, why not? Who transported the girl across state lines (the
revised Mann Act is what the "new" charges are supposed to be about?) Instead of even
wondering who did all these things---which Epstein didn't personally do---instead of caring
about these criminals also going to jail at all, these dirtbags only want to talk about
Trump's enemies being monsters and international Jewry, pretending that none of this can be
investigated because Epstein's files have been disappeared. This is despicable.
... people ... who are promoting antisemitic pedophile=Democrat Party allegations.
The only one associating the Democratic Party with Epstein is YOU. You appear to
be doing so as a device to intimidate and silence us.
But your bullshit doesn't work because:
>> Intelligence agencies don't care about political divisions. A large-scale
blackmail op like Epstein's would ensnare people across the political spectrum.
>> There are still suspicions regarding Trump despite no direct evidence that he got
"massages". The video of him scoping out girls with Epstein (and Ghislaine in the background)
is damning enough.
>> Jews are significant donors to BOTH parties.
>> US establishment support for Israel is bi-partisan.
>> Epstein, Ghislaine, Wexner, and Dershowitz are all Jewish. They are the
principals and most prominent people involved. I'd guess that billionaire Wexner is
republican while we know that Dershowitz is a Democrat.
>> Witney Webb at mintpressnews.com has described a history of blackmail ops by
Jews in USA that preceded Epstein (Lewis Rosenstiel, Meyer Lansky, Roy Cohn). It's not
antisemitic to take note of this anymore than it would be anti-Italian to note that the mafia
is run by Italian families. And this history has nothing to do with partisan
politics.
"... Epstein's arrest has been a shock really. I never thought the day would come where he would actually face the rest of his life in prison. Perhaps, as others have suggested, he's being thrown under the bus to protect the un-named co-conspirators who also received blanket immunity in his sweet-heart plea deal. (Clintons? Trump? Podesta? Hastert? Dershowitz? Summers? Spacey?...) ..."
Disgraced billionaire Jeffrey Epstein is being charged as a child molester molestation involving
"dozens of minor girls" as young as 14 between 2002 and 2005, according to an unsealed indictment
released by prosecutors.
This is a separate from last weeks court order for documents which may
contain the names of high-level individuals. The indictment says he
"sexually exploited and abused
dozens of minor girls at his homes in Manhattan... and Palm Beach."
Epstein apparently used recruiters to help him create
"a vast network of underage victims for
him to sexually exploit in locations including New York and Palm Beach"
. Receruiters are how
these sex trafficking groups and sex cults like NXIVM work. Miami Herald Investigative Reporter Julie
K. Brown mentioned how there are many more victims who she hopes come forward.
"They were taken advantage of by someone who knew how to prey upon them and groom them to do
things he wanted them to do."
The Miami Herald previously exposed how the current U.S. labor secretary Alex Acosta violated
federal law he swore to uphold when he gave Epstein the deal without clearing it with his victims.
"The Miami Herald last year published a series of articles reporting that the top federal
prosecutor in southern Florida at the time, Alex Acosta, worked with Epstein's lawyers to fashion
the deal. Acosta, now the U.S. labor secretary, violated federal law when he failed to clear the
federal non-prosecution agreement with many of Epstein's alleged victims, a federal judge ruled in
February."
The Herald apparently found 60 victims, some who were 14 and 15 years old, who were also trafficked
with 25 to 30 others.
The sex trafficking network has connections to the CIA and DynCorp. A special report on
Occurrences: Foreign and Domestic identified Epstein's suspected trafficking vehicle, a small plane,
which had the
"same tail number as a State department Bronco used under contract by DynCorp."
This is the same plane that was involve din DynCorp sex trafficking of minors in the Balkans.
Most of the business DynCorp had by 2003 came from the CIA. Wired
wrote
of the importance of DynCorp in 2003:
DynCorp represents nothing less than the future of national security. While outfits like
Raytheon make their money developing weapons systems, DynCorp offers the military an alternative to
itself. In 2002, the company took in $2.3 billion doing what you probably thought was Pentagon
work. DynCorp planes and pilots fly the defoliation missions that are the centerpiece of Plan
Colombia.
Armed DynCorp employees constitute the core of the police force in Bosnia. DynCorp troops
protect Afghan president Hamid Karzai. DynCorp manages the border posts between the US and Mexico,
many of the Pentagon's weapons-testing ranges, and the entire Air Force One fleet of presidential
planes and helicopters. During the Persian Gulf War, it was DynCorp employees, not soldiers, who
serviced and rearmed American combat choppers, and it's DynCorp's people, not military personnel,
who late last year began "forward deploying" equipment and ammunition to the Middle East in
preparation for war with Iraq.
DynCorp inventories everything seized by the Justice Department's Asset Forfeiture Program, runs
the Naval Air Warfare Center at Patuxent River, Maryland, and is producing the smallpox and anthrax
vaccines the government may use to inoculate everyone in the United States.
It stands to reason that the CIA was involved in sex trafficking as part of their operations at the
time, possibly for their own operatives or other soldiers who had these perverted predilections. The
operation may have been multi-national, with who knows how many planes trafficking girls in various
areas of the world for sexual exploitation by the powerful rich or military men.
Thank you for your time and attention. Peace.

Fun Fact: my very first post on Steemit was about Epstein and his connections to America's
oligarchy. Epstein is/was also a member of the Trilateral Commission, the CFR and very
closely connected to Harvard law school.
The connections to Dyncorp are tangible - for anyone interested in this connection fellow
steemian
@rebelskum
wrote a self published
e-book on the subject from his investigation into the contractor.
The Epstein case is a giant iceberg with much more below the surface, with tentacles connecting a seemingly unconnected network
of child abuse rings on an international scale.
Epstein's arrest has been a shock really. I never thought the day would come where he would actually face the rest of his life in
prison. Perhaps, as others have suggested, he's being thrown under the bus to protect the un-named co-conspirators who also
received blanket immunity in his sweet-heart plea deal. (Clintons? Trump? Podesta? Hastert? Dershowitz? Summers? Spacey?...)
Will be following this very closely, thanks for keeping us up to date!

I forgot about that story about the tail number and the airplane, otherwise would have
talked about that in my last vid. Great article btw!
"Yet, as this report will show, all of these rings -- and more -- were connected to the
same network that involved key figures linked to the Reagan White House and linked to
Roy Cohn -- revealing the true scope of the sordid sexual blackmail operations and sex
rings that involved the trafficking of children within the U.S. and even in Central
America for their exploitation by dangerous and powerful pedophiles in the United
States.
Appalling for both the villainous abuse of children itself and the chilling
implications of government by blackmail, this tangled web of unsavory alliances casts a
lurid light on the political history of the United States from the Prohibition Era
right up to the present day and the Age of Trump, a fact made increasingly clear as
more and more information comes to light in relation to the Jeffrey Epstein case."
Whitney Webb,
Too Big to Fail: Government By Blackmail
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high
places."
Is there really any question that Epstein was Mossad/CIA, seeking out powerful people to
befriend, ensnare, and then blackmail for the good of the Deep State?
Here's an important question I haven't seen asked yet.....anywhere:
How many SICK MOTHERFUCKERS are there in America who want to SCREW CHILDREN??? It appears
to be an epidemic problem. This stuff here is about elite people. But, guess what?
Routinely, like monthly, at minimum, I see articles in the paper of my large
Midwestern city about pedo-sickos being arrested for diddling kids or having kiddie ****.
It must be happening ALL OVER the country. Wait, and those are just the ones getting
caught! Times that by 10, at least.
So, BOTTOMLINE --- what percentage of men in this country want to **** kids??? It's time
for ANSWERS.
it's evil so think in terms of how many people in the world who have possibly sold their
soul for fame, wealth, celebrity or just because they were hopelessly caught up in drugs and
gay sex.
Percentage? Maybe 34+ males and 25+ females. And on the local news front, pay attention to
missing kids and how many trafficking arrests are made. Here in TN it's epidemic and the TN
Bureau Invest. has a special unit that hunts this crap down.
So the Smart, Elite M.I.T Ivory League M'F'ers that know better than us and want to lead
us...
Hanging out with known pedophiles and taking Pedophile's money.... I thought so!!
It's entirely true: the efforts that are reflexively undertaken to cover up the greatest
crimes perpetrated by the U.S. Federal Government are as complex and convoluted as they are
incomprehensible.
If the American people knew what really went on regarding notorious pedovore Jeffrey
Epstein and his clandestine relationship with Attorney General William Barr, they would
retch with utter disgust and revulsion.
if the DoJ did not want Epstein killed or kidnapped -- IN A HIGHLY MONITORED FEDERAL
DETENTION FACILITY -- he would have been put in Level 5 lockdown which would have made him
the most protected prisoner in U.S. history (After all, he was the most valuable inmate in
history). Nevertheless, his melodramatic suiciding op was loaded with much more meaning as
this exposé explains: HOLY CHUTZPAH! Epstein Suicide Psyop Sends
Serious Message to Humanity
Quite obviously, this entire affair was engineered at the highest levels of justice and
law enforcement, which ensured Epstein would escape from his fate safely and quickly, which
he did.
It is not vey clear for whom Epstein used to work. Mossad connection is just one hypothesis.
What sovereign state would allow compromising politician by a foreign intelligence service. This
just does not compute.
But the whole tone of discussion below clearly point to the crisis of legitimacy of
neoliberal elite. And Russiagate had shown that the elite cares about it and tried to patch the
cracks.
As Eric
Rasmusen writes: "Everybody, it seems, in New York society knew by 2000 that Jeffrey
Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were corrupting teenage girls, but the press wouldn't cover it."
Likewise, everybody in New York society has long known that Larry Silverstein, who bought the
asbestos-riddled white elephant World Trade Center in July 2001 and immediately doubled the
insurance, is a mobbed-up friend of Netanyahu and a confessed participant in the controlled
demolition of Building 7 , from which he earned over 700 million insurance dollars on the
pretext that al-Qaeda had somehow brought it down. But the press won't cover that either.
The New York Times , America's newspaper of record, has the investigative talent and
resources to expose major corruption in New York. Why did the Times spend almost two
decades ignoring the all-too-obvious antics of Epstein and Silverstein? Why is it letting the
absurd tale of Epstein's alleged suicide stand? Why hasn't it used the work of Architects and
Engineers for 9/11 Truth -- including the brand-new University of Alaska study on the controlled
demolition of WTC-7 -- to expose the biggest scandal of the 21 st century, if
not all of American history?
The only conceivable answer is that The New York Times is somehow complicit in these
monstrous crimes. It must be protecting its friends in high places. So who are those friends,
and where are those high places?
One thing Epstein and Silverstein have in common, besides names ending in "-stein," is
alleged involvement in the illicit sex industry. Epstein's antics, or at least some of them,
are by now well-known. Not so for Silverstein, who apparently began his rags-to-9/11-riches
story as a pimp supplying prostitutes and nude dancers to the shadier venues of NYC, alongside
other illicit activities including "the heroin trade, money laundering
and New York Police corruption." All of this was exposed in a mid-1990s lawsuit. But good
luck finding any investigative reports in The New York Times .
Another Epstein-Silverstein connection is their relationships to major American Jewish
organizations. Even while he was allegedly pimping girls and running heroin, Larry Silverstein
served as president for United Jewish Appeal of New York. As for Epstein, he was the boy toy
and protégé of Les Wexner, co-founder of
the Mega Group of Jewish billionaires associated with the World Jewish Congress, the
Anti-Defamation League, and other pro-Israel groups. Indeed, there is no evidence that
"self-made billionaire" Epstein ever earned significant amounts of money; his only investment
"client" was Les Wexner. Epstein, a professional sexual blackmailer, used his supposed
billionaire status as a cover story. In fact, he was just an employee working for Wexner and
associated criminal/intelligence networks.
Which brings us to the third and most important Epstein-Silverstein similarity: They were
both close to the government of Israel. Jeffrey Epstein's handler was Ghislaine Maxwell,
daughter of Mossad super-spy Robert Maxwell; among his friends was Ehud Barak, who is currently
challenging Netanyahu for leadership of Israel. Larry Silverstein, too, has friends in high
Israeli places. According to Haaretz , Silverstein has "close ties with Netanyahu"
(speaking to him on the phone every weekend) as well as with Ehud Barak, "whom Silverstein in
the past offered a job as his representative in Israel" and who called Silverstein immediately
after 9/11.
We may reasonably surmise that both Jeffrey Epstein and Larry Silverstein have been carrying
on very important work on behalf of the state of Israel. And we may also surmise that this is
the reason The New York Times has been covering up the scandals associated with both
Israeli agents for almost two decades. The Times , though it pretends to be America's
newspaper of record, has always been Jewish-owned-and-operated. Its coverage has always been
grotesquely
distorted in favor of Israel . It has no interest in exposing the way Israel controls the
United States by blackmailing its leaders (Epstein) and staging a fake "Arab-Muslim attack on
America" (Silverstein). The awful truth is that The New York Times is part of the same
Jewish-Zionist "
we control America " network as Jeffrey Epstein and Larry Silverstein.
Epstein "Suicide" Illustrates Zionist Control of USA -- and the Decadence and Depravity
of Western Secularism
Since The New York Times and other mainstream media won't go there, let's reflect on
the facts and lessons of the Jeffrey Epstein suicide scandal -- a national disgrace that ought
to shock Americans into rethinking their worldviews in general, and their views on the official
myth of 9/11 in particular.
On Saturday, August 10, 2019, convicted child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was allegedly
found dead in his cell at Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York City, one of
America's most corrupt prisons. The authorities claim Epstein hanged himself. But nobody, not
even the presstitutes of America's corporate propaganda media, convincingly pretends to believe
the official story.
Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile pimp to presidents and potentates. His job was recruiting
young girls for sex, then offering them to powerful men -- in settings outfitted with hidden
video cameras. When police raided his New York townhouse on July 6-7 2019 they found locked
safes full of pornographic pictures of underage girls, along with piles of compact discs
labeled "young (name of girl) + (name of VIP)." Epstein had been openly and brazenly carrying
on such activities for more than two decades, as reported throughout most of that period by
alternative media outlets including my own Truth Jihad Radio and False Flag Weekly News . (Even
before the 2016 elections, my audience knew that both Bill Clinton and Donald Trump were
blackmailed clients of Jeffrey Epstein, that Clinton was a frequent flyer on Epstein's "Lolita
Express" private jet, and that Trump had been credibly accused in a lawsuit of joining Epstein
in the brutal rape of a 13-year-old, to whom Trump then allegedly issued death threats.) It was
only in the summer of 2019 that mainstream media and New York City prosecutors started talking
about what used to be consigned to the world of "conspiracy theories."
So who was Epstein working for? His primary employer was undoubtedly the Israeli Mossad and
its worldwide Zionist crime network. Epstein's handler was Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of
Mossad super-spy Robert Maxwell. According to sworn depositions, Ghislaine Maxwell recruited
underage girls for Epstein and oversaw his sex trafficking operations. As the New Yorker
reported August 16: "In court papers that were unsealed on August 9th, it was alleged that
Maxwell had been Epstein's central accomplice, first as his girlfriend, and, later, as his
trusted friend and procuress, grooming a steady stream of girls, some as young as fourteen,
coercing them to have sex with Epstein at his various residences around the world, and
occasionally participating in the sexual abuse herself." Alongside Maxwell, Epstein's other
Mossad handler was
Les Wexner, co-founder of the notorious Mega Group of billionaire Israeli spies , who
appears to have originally recruited the penniless Epstein and handed him a phony fortune so
Epstein could pose as a billionaire playboy.
Even after Epstein's shady "suicide" mega-Mossadnik Maxwell continued to flaunt her impunity
from American justice. She no doubt conspired to publicize the August 15 New York Post
photograph of herself smiling and looking "chillingly serene" at In-And-Out-Burger in Los
Angeles, reading The Book of Honor: The Secret Lives and Deaths of C.I.A. Operatives .
That nauseating photo inspired the New
Yorker to accuse her of having "gall" -- a euphemism for the Yiddish chutzpah , a quality
that flourishes in the overlapping Zionist and Kosher Nostra communities.
Maxwell and The New York Post , both Kosher Nostra/Mossad assets, were obviously
sending a message to the CIA: Don't mess with us or we will expose your complicity in these
scandalous crimes. That is the Mossad's standard operating procedure: Infiltrate and compromise
Western intelligence services in order to prevent them from interfering with the Zionists'
over-the-top atrocities. According to French historian
Laurent Guyénot's hypothesis, the CIA's false flag fake assassination attempt on
President John F. Kennedy, designed to be blamed on Cuba, was transformed by Mossad into a real
assassination -- and the CIA couldn't expose it due to its own complicity. (The motive: Stop
JFK from ending Israel's nuclear program.) The same scenario, Guyénot argues, explains
the anomalies of the Mohamed Merah affair
, the Charlie Hebdo killings, and the 9/11 false flag operation. It would not be surprising if
Zionist-infiltrated elements of the CIA were made complicit in Jeffrey Epstein's sexual
blackmail activities, in order to protect Israel in the event Epstein had to be "burned" (which
is apparently what has finally occurred).
So what really happened to Epstein? Perhaps the most likely scenario is that the Kosher
Nostra, which owns New York in general and the mobbed-up MCC prison in particular, allowed the
Mossad to exfiltrate Epstein to Occupied Palestine, where he will be given a facelift, a
pension, a luxury suite overlooking the Mediterranean, and a steady stream of young sex slaves
(Israel is the world's capital of human trafficking, an honor it claimed from the Kosher Nostra
enclaves of Odessa after World War II). Once the media heat wave blows over, Epstein will
undoubtedly enjoy visits from his former Mossad handler Ghislaine Maxwell, his good friend Ehud
Barak, and various other Zionist VIPs. He may even offer fresh sex slaves to visiting American
congressmen.
This is not just a paranoid fantasy scenario. According to Eric
Rasmusen : "The Justice Dept. had better not have let Epstein's body be cremated. And
they'd better give us convincing evidence that it's his body. If I had $100 million to get out
of jail with, acquiring a corpse and bribing a few people to switch fingerprints and DNA
wouldn't be hard. I find it worrying that the government has not released proof that Epstein is
dead or a copy of the autopsy."
But didn't the alleged autopsy reportedly find broken neck bones that are more commonly
associated with strangulation murders than suicides? That controversy may have been scripted to
distract the public from
an insider report on 4chan , first published before the news of Epstein's "suicide" broke,
that Epstein had been "switched out" of MCC. If so, the body with the broken neck bones wasn't
Epstein's.
The Epstein affair (like 9/11) illustrates two critically important truths about Western
secularism: there is no truth, and there are no limits. A society that no longer believes in
God no longer believes in truth, since God is al-haqq, THE truth, without Whom the whole
notion of truth has no metaphysical basis. The postmodern philosophers understand this
perfectly well. They taught a whole generation of Western humanities scholars that truth is
merely a function of power: people accept something as "true" to the extent that they are
forced by power to accept it. So when the most powerful people in the world insist that three
enormous steel-frame skyscrapers were blown to smithereens by relatively modest office fires on
9/11, that absurd assertion becomes the official "truth" as constructed by such Western
institutions as governments, courts, media, and academia. Likewise, the assertion that Jeffrey
Epstein committed suicide under circumstances that render that assertion absurd will probably
become the official "truth" as recorded and promulgated by the West's ruling institutions, even
though nobody will ever really believe it.
Epstein's career as a shameless, openly-operating Mossad sexual blackmailer -- like the
in-your-face 9/11 coup -- also illustrates another core truth of Western secularism: If there
is no God, there are no limits (in this case, to human depravity and what it can get away
with). Or as Dostoevsky famously put it: "If God does not exist, everything is permitted."
Since God alone can establish metaphysically-grounded limits between what is permitted and what
is forbidden, a world without God will feature no such limits; in such a world Aleister
Crowley's satanic motto "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law" becomes the one and
only commandment. In today's Godless West, why should men not "do what they wilt" and
indulge their libidos by raping young girls if they can get away with it? After all, all the
other sexual taboos are being broken, one by one. Fornication, adultery, homosexuality,
sadomasochism, gender-bending all of these have been transformed during my lifetime from crimes
and vices to "human rights" enjoyed by the most liberal and fashionable right-thinking Western
secularists. Even bestiality and necrophilia are poised to become normalized "sexual
identities" whose practitioners will soon be proudly marching in "bestiality pride" and
"necrophilia pride" parades. So why not normalize pedophilia and other forms of rape
perpetrated by the strong against the weak? And why not add torture and murder in service to
sexual gratification? After all, the secret bible of the sexual identity movement is the
collected works of the Marquis de Sade, the satanic prophet of sexual liberation, with whom the
liberal progressivist secular West is finally catching up. It will not be surprising if, just a
few years after the Jeffrey Epstein "suicide" is consigned to the memory hole, we will be
witnessing LGBTQBNPR parades, with the BNPR standing for bestiality, necrophilia, pedophilia,
and rape. (It would have been LGBTQBNPRG, with the final G standing for Gropers like President
Trump, except that the G was already taken by the gays.) The P's, pioneers of pedophile pride
parades, will undoubtedly celebrate Jeffrey Epstein as an ahead-of-his-time misunderstood hero
who was unjustly persecuted on the basis of his unusual sexual orientation.
It is getting harder and harder to satirize the decadence and depravity of the secular West,
which insists on parodying itself with ever-increasing outlandishness. When the book on this
once-mighty civilization is written, and the ink is dry, readers will be astounded by the
limitless lies of the drunk-on-chutzpah psychopaths who ran it into the ground.
Correct me if I am wrong but I thought Lucky Larry only leased the WTC buildings rather than
actually purchased them. I think I have read that his investment was in the region of 150
mill for which he has recouped a whopping 4 bill.
Would you please answer a preliminary question before I put finishing this on my busy agenda?
You stake a fair bit of your credit on what you say about Larry Silverstein and insurance. My
present understanding is that the insurance cover for WTC 1 and 2 was increased as a routine
part of the financing deal he had made for a purchase which was only months old. Not true?
Not the full story? Convince us.
As to WTC 7 my understanding is that he had owned the building for some years and had not
recently increased the insurance. Not true? And when did any clause get into his WTC7
insurance contract which might have had some effect on inflating the payout?
“Trump had been credibly accused in a lawsuit of joining Epstein in the brutal rape of
a 13-year-old, to whom Trump then allegedly issued death threats.)”
The “Katie Johnson” case collapsed in 2016 when it was revealed that
“she” was in fact a middle-aged man, a stringer for the Jerry Springer show. Just
another Gloria Allred fraud.
“a society that no longer believes in god no longer believes in the truth, since god is
the truth….blah blah blah”
This is thin gruel indeed…..just silly platitudes from a muzzie convert. There are at
least 100 billion galaxies in the universe with each galaxy containing as many as 100 billion
stars. And there is no telling how many universes there are. Does anyone really believe
Barrett’s preferred deity takes a time out from running this vast empire to service
Barrett’s yearning for “truth”? Just goes to prove that humans will believe
almost any idea as long as it’s sufficiently idiotic.
“The principal conclusion of our study is that fire did not cause the collapse
of WTC 7 on 9/11, contrary to the conclusions of NIST and private engineering firms that
studied the collapse.”
“It is our conclusion based upon these findings that the collapse of WTC 7 was a
global failure involving the near-simultaneous failure of all columns in the building and
not a progressive collapse involving the sequential failure of columns throughout the
building.”
Speaking of the truth v. parody I’d really rather work on the cause of
Epstein’s death –yes I think he’s dead– suicide or
strangulation ?
There are some things the Justice Dept. could do if they wanted to. Why they apparently
didn’t want to expose the corpse in greater detail, let media view the cell, have
correspondent(s) interview the ex- cellmate of Epstein, et.al just leads to suspicions.
This is something they should have to answer for . That includes AG Barr. Trump could make
it happen–like every thing else– if Barr says no. The President won’t.
Dostoyevsky with his “If God does not exist, everything is permitted.”
overlooked the Jewish God who permits much more when it comes to Jewish gentile relations.
The Jewish God is not limited by the Kant’s First Moral Imperative. The Jewish
God’s moral laws are not universal. They are context dependent according to the
Leninist Who, whom rule.
Not so for Silverstein, who apparently began his rags-to-9/11-riches story as a pimp
supplying prostitutes and nude dancers to the shadier venues of NYC, alongside other
illicit activities including “the heroin trade, money laundering and New York
Police corruption.”
I would like to see more about the beginnings of Silverstein’s career.
Good work Kevin, Irrelevant exactly what Silverstein did in way of insurance.The FACT is
that WTC7 DID NOT FALL due to fires. Neither did WTC1 or 2. The 6 million dollar question
is ‘WHO put the ‘bang’ in the building?’ to bring them down, by
what ever means. Im in favour of nukes for 1 and 2.
Answer that! Why isnt Silverstein arrested? I think Kevin provided the answer in the
article..
I just stumbled onto your article from a link on reddit, r/epstein. You make some
convincing arguments. I was thrilled that you brought 9/11 into this – because the
Epstein “suicide” and how it is being covered reminds me so much of how I felt
after 9/11 and the run-up to the war. -But you lost me at the end with the stuff about
Godless secularism. I’ve read the bible and it is not the answer to what’s
wrong with the world.
Why did the Times spend almost two decades ignoring the all-too-obvious antics of
Epstein and Silverstein? Why is it letting the absurd tale of Epstein’s alleged
suicide stand?
One thing cannot be denied : Epstein was arrested, denied bail and jailed awaiting trail
on a Federal indictment for much the same offence he had pleaded guilty to a decade ago,
which did not involve even a single homicide yet made him universally reviled and in as
much trouble with the legal system as a man could be (almost certain never to get out
again). Epstein was in far more trouble that anyone of his financial resources has ever
been, but then that was for paying for sex acts with young teen girls.
What an awesomely impressive testament to the impunity enjoyed by the Jewish
elite Epstein is. It is no wonder that Larry Silverstein was insouciant about the risks of
a Jewish lightning fraud controlled demolition killing thousands of people in a building he
had just bought and increased the insurance coverage of. After all, it wasn’t
anything serious like paying for getting hundreds of handjobs from underage girls. And it
is not like someone like the Pizzagate nut that fired his AR15 into underground child
molestation complex beneath the Dems restaurant/pedophile centre would take all those WTC
deaths seriously enough to shoot at him just because of inevitable internet accusations of
mass murder. Mr Barrett, why don’t you step up and do it, thereby proving you
believe the things you say .
@NoseytheDuke Yes, he leased the World Trade Center buildings one and two from the Port
Authority of New York and New Jersey. He built World Trade Center building seven, having
acquired a ground lease from Port Authority.
I can’t imagine why you ask this question in a public venue. I found the answer in
less than one minute on the internet.
I assume the insurance policies were for the present value of his net profits for the
duration of the leases.
I recall reading about this guy prior to the event. I believe it was USATODAY . He and a
silent partner had bought the complex with a down of 63million and had it insured for
7billion. I thought it odd that the port authority would let go of the property at the
time.
As the building deficiencies became known afterwards,my thoughts were along the line of
insurance fraud.
I came across a copy of the rand Corp “state of the world 2000” which
accurately describes the scenario and resulting culture of terror as “one possible
future “…. funny how it’s taken all these years to discover this
website.
Indeed, there is no evidence that “self-made billionaire” Epstein ever
earned significant amounts of money.
Good thing that Wexner is Jewish so we can discount the possibility that he was telling
the truth the other month when he said that Epstein stole vast amounts of Wexner money
Alongside Maxwell, Epstein’s other Mossad handler was Les Wexner, co-founder of
the notorious Mega Group of billionaire Israeli spies
Wexner and his fellow Mossad spy Maxwell leaving Virginia Roberts alive to repeatedly
sue them, and use the world”s media to accuse them of sexually abusing, trafficking,
pimping her out to VIPs, and fiming the trysts was a brilliant way to keep everything a
secret.
Mossad handler Ghislaine Maxwell, his good friend Ehud Barak, and various other
Zionist VIPs.
Yes, they are the greatest covert operatives ever.
Epstein’s crimes are simple breaches of etiquette when compared to Silverstein. I
believe the term “Silverstein valleys” has been used to describe the melted
granite discovered beneath the former towers, Silverstein grins widely in interviews, while
so many suffered horribly.
One might even consider the 9/11 deaths to be something of a “holocaust”.
Certainly one of the most evil human beings to have walked the Earth.
@Wizard of Oz Silverstein said he gave the okay for wtc 7 to be “pulled”.
The building was on fire at the time. Either someone wired it to be pulled while it was on
fire and already damaged or it was wired for demolition beforehand. The second scenario
seems a lot more likely. In that case all the insurance contract details are largely
irrelevant to the bigger picture.
The idea that the CIA is somehow independent of Mossad and that Mossad would have to warn
the CIA off of the Epstein matter is implausible to me. Guyenot’s hypothesis tends to
give cover to the CIA in the assassination of JFK by claiming that the CIA plot was set in
motion as some sort of attempt to control JFK and that it was hijacked into an actual
assassination by Mossad. That just isn’t credible.
It’s much more accurate to observe that the CIA was erected by the same zionists
who oversaw the creation of Israel and later the forming of Mossad, and that the two
agencies have been joined at the hip ever since.
@WorkingClass Bad cop good cop. NYT is trying to destroy him . Israel says to him
:” send this , do this ,allow us to do this , increase this by this amount , and we
will make sure that in final analysis you don’t get hurt ”
Trump possibly knows that the only people who could hurt him is the Jewish people of power
.
Has NYT ever criticized Trump for relocating embassy , recognizing Golan, for allowing
Israel use Anerican resources to hit Syria or Gaza , for allowing Israel drag US into more
military involvement. for allowing Israel wage war against Gaza ,? Has NYT ever explored
the dynamics behind abrogation of JCPOA and application of more sanctions?
NYT has focused on Russia gate knowing in advance that it has no merit and no public
traction, Is it hurting Trump or itself ?
People with normal IQ would believe that Epstein killed himself, if the following took
place –
Media day and night asking questions about him from 360 degree of inquiries
1 why the surveillance video were not functioning despite the serious nature of the
charges against a man who could rat out a lot in court against powerful people
2 why the coroner initially thought that Epstein was murdered
3 how many guards and how many fell asleep?
4 who and why allowed the spin story around Epstein brilliance and high IQ build up over
the years ?
5 how does Epstein come to get linked to non -Jews people who have absolute loyalty to
Israel
6 how did Epstein get involved with Jewish leaders ?
7 How did Epstein continue to enjoy seat on Harvard and enjoy social celebrity status after
plea deal ?
8 Why did Wexner allow this man so much control over his asset ?
9 Media felt if terrorism were unique Muslim thing , why media is not alluding to the fact
that pedophilia is a unique Jewish thing ?
10 why the angle of Israel being sex slavery capital and Epstein being sex slave pimp not
being connected ?
11 how death in prison in foreign unfriendly countries often become causus celebre by US
media , politicians , NGO and US treasury – why not this death ?
@Fozzy Bear Not true. A respectable civil rights attorney, Lisa Bloom, handled Katie
Johnson’s case. Shortly before the scheduled press conference at which Johnson was to
appear publicly, she received multiple death threats: “Bloom said that her
firm’s website was hacked, that Anonymous had claimed responsibility, and that death
threats and a bomb threat came in afterwards.”
https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/11/3/13501364/trump-rape-13-year-old-lawsuit-katie-johnson-allegation
Johnson folded because she was terrified (and perhaps paid off).
@Twodees Partain In “Body of Secrets” by James Bamford, a newspaper article
from the Truman era is referenced where the OSS, predecessor of the CIA, is described as
“a converted vault in Washington used as an office space for 5 or 6 Jews working to
protect our national secrets” (or similar wording).
Going from memory and gave away my copy of the book….. sorry for the vague
reference, but you can look it up.
@nsa An atheist like “nsa” must concede Dosteovsky’s point from his
novel The Possessed that even for the atheist the concept of God represents the collective
consciousness, highest principles, and ontological aspirations of believers. Given this
sense, “nsa’s” real animus is more than likely an atavistic hatred of
Christians and Muslims, probably for just being alive in his paranoid mind. What imbecility
when this clown cites a multiverse of universes that has no proof and less plausibility for
its existence than the tooth fairy. I’d also bet “nsa” speaks algebra,
too, like the recently deceased mathematical genius, Jeffrey Epstein.
What’s Mr. Wexner’s, Mega’s, and Mossad/CIA’s involvement?
That’s the real question trolls like “nsa” and the Dems and Republicans
alike are crapping in their pants we’ll find out. When evidence starts to cascade out
of their ability to spin or suppress it, things will get interesting. Meanwhile, Fox News
is still doing its best from what I can tell to run cover for 911, now extended to the
suspiciously related perps in the Epstein affair.
“The Epstein affair (like 9/11) illustrates two critically important truths about
Western secularism: there is no truth, and there are no limits. A society that no longer
believes in God no longer believes in truth…..”
“While the Zionists try to make the rest of the World believe that the national
consciousness of the Jew finds its satisfaction in the creation of a Palestinian state,
the Jews again slyly dupe the dumb Goyim. It doesn’t even enter their heads to
build up a Jewish state in Palestine for the purpose of living there; all they want is a
central organisation for their international world swindler, endowed with its own
sovereign rights and removed from the intervention of other states: a haven for convicted
scoundrels and a university for budding crooks.
It is a sign of their rising confidence and sense of security that at a time when one
section is still playing the German, French-man, or Englishman, the other with open
effrontery comes out as the Jewish race.”
More prophetic words were ever spoken or written by any of the statesmen of the
Twentieth Century than these, even though they themselves were insufficient to describe the
horrors that the Zionist state would bring upon the world if left unchecked- and its power
and influence have been unchecked since the 1960’s. The last time that the world
stood up to Zionist power in an appreciable way was during the Suez Crisis.
DOT.. Port loses claim for asbestos removal | Business Insurance https://www.businessinsurance.com › article
› ISSUE01 › port-loses-claim-… May 13, 2001 – The suit sought claim of the Port Authority’s huge cost
of removing asbestos from hundreds of properties ranging from the enormous World Trade
Center complex
DOT…Silverstein knew when he leased WTC 7 that he would have to pay out of pocket
for asbestos abatement removal in WTC 7, multiple millions, which is why the Port Authority
leased it so cheaply.
DOT…In May, 2000, a year before, signing the lease, he already had the design
drawn for a new WTC building. Silverstein had no plans to remove the asbestos as he already
had plans to replace it.
DOT… Larry Silverstein signs the lease just six weeks before the WTC’s twin
towers were brought to the ground by terrorists in the September 11, 2001, attacks.
DOT….After leasing the complex, Silverstein negotiated with 24 insurance
companies for a maximum coverage of $3.55 billion per catastrophic occurrence.
However, the agreements had not been finalized before 9/11.
DOT…..Silverstein tries to sue insurers for double the payout claiming 2
catastrophic occurrences because of 2 planes involved.
DOT….Silver loses that lawsuit but sues the air lines and settles for almost
another billion, $ 750,000,000.
Just another Jew insurance fire folks. He planned on tearing down WTC 7 to begin with.
The only missing DOT is who he hired to set the demolition explosives in WTC 7. Were they
imported from our ME ally?
Jeffrey Epstein may be dead, but there are still many stones to turn over while investigators sift
through his network of high-profile friends, some of whom may be guilty of sex crimes themselves.
The wealthy pedophile, transhumanist, and financier's circle of friends included Bill Clinton, Ehud
Barack, Prince Andrew, and Victoria's Secret boss Les Wexner.
It also included
billionaire hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin and his wife, Dr. Eva
Andersson-Dubin
- a former Miss Sweden who dated Epstein for three years before she
and Dubin married in 1994.
The Dubins and Epstein were close, and remained close after his 2008 conviction for pedophilia -
inviting him to their Palm Beach home for Thanksgiving the following year. Eva even wrote an email
to Epstein's probation officer insisting that she was "100% comfortable" with the pedophile and
registered sex-offender being around her minor children.
According to
Vanity
Fair
'
s William Cohan, several sources said that Epstein was the godfather to the Dubins'
three children - a claim which the family disputed ("The Dubins are Jewish and Jewish people do not
typically do godparents," said a spokesman).
Epstein, Dubin and Wall Street
In 2004, Epstein reportedly received a $15 million fee after JPMorgan Chase bought control of
Dubin's hedge fund, Highbridge Capital. Epstein had introduced Dubin to then-JPM Exec Jes Staley,
who is now CEO of Barclays. According to
Bloomberg
,
Staley "visited Epstein on the private island, accompanied by his wife Debora."
He
also
visited Epstein at his Palm Beach office while the Epstein was on prison
work-release.
Dubin, meanwhile, also directed some of Epstein's money
to at least two hedge
fund mangers;
Dan Zwirn and Joseph Kusnan
- both former Highbridge employees who
left to start their own firms.
"Glenn Dubin introduced me to Epstein as a new manager that he was familiar with and thought
highly of," Kusnan told
Vanity Fair
- insisting that he and Epstein only met once,
and
never communicated again
. Notably, Kusnan delivered "a good rate of return on his modest
investment."
The relationship between Epstein and Dubin also ventured into more controversial realms, if
one believes the depositions recently unsealed in an old court case between one of Epstein's
alleged victims,
Virginia Giuffre,
and Epstein's longtime companion and alleged
madam,
Ghislaine Maxwell.
According to Giuffre's May 2016 deposition, Dubin was
the "first" powerful person that Maxwell sent her to have sex with "after my training." She also
said that she was instructed by Maxwell to have sex with, among others,
Alan Dershowitz,
the
Harvard Law professor;
George Mitchell,
the former U.S. senator;
Bill
Richardson,
the former New Mexico governor; and
Jean-Luc Brunel,
a
French model scout. "My whole life revolved around just pleasing these men and keeping Ghislaine
and Jeffrey happy," Giuffre said in her deposition. "[Maxwell and Epstein's] whole entire lives
revolved around sex. They call massages sex. They call modeling sex." She said Maxwell told her
to give Dubin "a massage." (The Dubins categorically deny Giuffre's allegations. Their
spokesperson also provided evidence they say disproves Giuffre's account. Dershowitz, Mitchell,
Richardson, and Brunel have also denied her allegations.) -
Vanity
Fair
Did the Dubins bring in a 15-year-old girl?
Former Dubin chef and assistant Rinaldo Rizzo claimed in a recently unsealed June 2016
deposition that when he and his wife Debra worked for the Dubins, Andersson-Dubin brought home a
15-year-old Swedish girl who had been with Epstein and Maxwell during a visit to the Dubins' home.
The girl was "distraught," "upset," and "she was shaking" said Rizzo, who added that the girl
seemed "on the verge of crying."
According to the report, "[T]he girl told him and his wife that she worked for Epstein as his
"executive personal assistant," and when Rizzo expressed shock that such a young girl could have
that job, "she just breaks down hysterically."
Rizzo stated that the girl told him she was
involved in some
forced sexual activity
at Epstein's Caribbean island and was told by
Maxwell and Epstein not to discuss it.
"
But about
a month later, according to Rizzo, the Dubins, along with the girl and the
Rizzos, were on Dubin's private jet back to Sweden and the girl was returned home
. "We
flew to Sweden," Rizzo said in his deposition, "we stopped at an airport we didn't usually stop
at and she got off the plane." The Rizzos left the Dubins' employ in October 2005, following
those events, he said in his deposition. "
My wife and I had discussed these incidents,
and this last one was just, we couldn't deal with it,
" he said. -
Vanity
Fair
The Dubins have denied everything - stating through a spokesman who shared flight records "There
was never a 15-year-old Swedish nanny in the Dubins' home and flight records for trips to Sweden on
the Dubins' plane do not include any minors other than family members." The Dubins' longtime
live-in nanny also attested "with certainty" that they had never employed an underage nanny.
That said, the Dubins
did
confirm having traveled with Epstein on his private jet -
occasionally flying between Palm Beach and New York, where they all had homes. Maxwell, meanwhile,
flew on Dubin's plane twice along with his children; once in 2004 and again in 2010.
Pilot Jim Dowd who flew for both Epstein and the Dubins said that both men were "friends" who
liked "vacationing together."
Meanwhile,
a Russian model who worked for French modeling exec and accused rapist
Jean-Luc Brunel
was reportedly "friendly" with Andersson-Dubin. The model, Lana Pozhidaeva,
recently made headlines for having received a $55,000 donation from Epstein for her New York-based
nonprofit.
Dubins and Wexner
Last but not least,
Vanity Fair
's Cohan notes that the Dubins were close enough to
Victoria's Secret boss (and former Epstein pal) Leslie Wexner, the billionaire founder and CEO of L
Brands. Wexner - Epstein's only known financial client -
allowed the Dubins and their
children to use their 316-foot, $100 million yacht,
Limitless,
for a Mediterranean
vacation
.
"Wexner's wife,
Abigail,
"graciously invited the Dubins to use their boat for
four days while Eva Dubin was recovering from breast cancer surgery," Dubin's spokesperson
explained," according to the report - which adds that it was "quite unusual for Wexner to let
anyone use
Limitless
when he was not on board."
Interestingly -
all parties have denied all wrongdoing, and many claim to have had no
knowledge of Epstein's proclivities despite hanging out with him during and following his
conviction for pedophilia
. What's wrong with these people?

It is the same as to why parents let their kids hang around
with Micheal Jackson. They get something from the relationship
which seems to be much more important than their kids mental and
emotional wellbeing.
I suppose they need to continue trotting out stories like this to
make it appear that someone is actually investigating something,
before the whole thing winds up in the memory hole.
A child of Holocaust survivors...he was born in Tel Aviv, Israel.
She worked in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York as
Assistant U.S. Attorney before becoming Counsel to the Deputy Attorney General, where she
worked on national security and counterterrorism. She was Counselor to the Secretary of
Homeland Security before she worked in the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice
as Deputy Assistant Attorney General.
What are Sigal Mandelker' connections to this illustrious group?
Even while he was allegedly pimping girls and running heroin, Larry Silverstein served
as president for United Jewish Appeal of New York.
As for Epstein, he was the boy toy and protégé of Les Wexner, co-founder
of the Mega Group of Jewish billionaires associated with the World Jewish Congress, the
Anti-Defamation League, and other pro-Israel groups.
Reads like the best of the best among Israel-firsters: Pimps, drug-dealers, thugs from the
ADL, major mafioso-philanthropists for Israel, WJC activists with a special fondness for the
illegal settlers' terrorism against native Palestinians, and the most active promoters of the
Wars for Eretz Israel, including a war-in-making against Iran.
While people do not agree of detail the main theme is common: government stories explaining
both 9/11 and Epstein death are not credible. And that government tried to create an "artificial
reality" to hide real events and real culprits.
Absence of credible information create fertile ground for creation of myths and rumors,
sometimes absurd. But that'a well known sociaological phenomenon studies by late Tamotsu Shibutani in the
context of WWII rumors ( Improvised News: A Sociological Study of Rumor (1966)).
Now we can interpret famous quote of
William Casey "We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American
public believes is false as an admission of the fact that the government can create artificial
reality" much like in film Matrix and due to thick smoke of propaganda people are simply unable
to discern the truth.
A foreign policy of "maximum pressure" and swagger: tawdry bribes, heavy-handed threats,
and complete failure ..now what group does this remind me of?
US State Dept Program Offers $15 Million to Iran Revolutionary Guards September 4,
2019
The US State Department has unveiled a new $15 million "reward program" for anyone who
provides information on the financial inner workings of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, in an
attempt to further disrupt them.
The program comes after the US declared the Revolutionary Guards "terrorists," but remains
very unusual, in as much as it targets an agency of a national government instead of just
some random militant group.
The Financial Times reports on the farce that is our government's Iran policy:
Four days before the US imposed sanctions on an Iranian tanker suspected of shipping oil
to Syria, the vessel's Indian captain received an unusual email from the top Iran official at
the Department of State.
"This is Brian Hook . . . I work for secretary of state Mike
Pompeo and serve as the US Representative for Iran," Mr Hook wrote to Akhilesh Kumar on
August 26, according to several emails seen by the Financial Times. "I am writing with good
news."
The "good news" was that the Trump administration was offering Mr Kumar several million
dollars to pilot the ship -- until recently known as the Grace 1 -- to a country that would
impound the vessel on behalf of the US. To make sure Mr Kumar did not mistake the email for a
scam, it included an official state department phone number.
The administration's Iran obsession has reached a point where they are now trying to bribe
people to act as pirates on their behalf. When the U.S. was blocked by a court in Gibraltar
from taking the ship, they sought to buy the loyalty of the captain in order to steal it.
Failing that, they resorted to their favorite tool of sanctions to punish the captain and his
crew for ignoring their illegitimate demand. The captain didn't respond to the first message,
so Hook persisted with his embarrassing scheme:
"With this money you can have any life you wish and be well-off in old age," Mr Hook wrote in
a second email to Mr Kumar that also included a warning. "If you choose not to take this easy
path, life will be much harder for you."
Many people have already mocked Hook's message for its resemblance to a Nigerian prince
e-mail scam, and I might add that he comes across here sounding like a B-movie gangster.
Hook's contact was not an isolated incident, but part of a series of e-mails and texts that
he has sent to various ships' captains in a vain effort to intimidate them into falling in
line with the administration's economic war. This is what comes of a foreign policy of
"maximum pressure" and swagger: tawdry bribes, heavy-handed threats, and complete
failure.
The Committee of 300 is an evolution of the British East Indies Company Council of 300. The
list personally last seen included many Windsors (Prince Andrew), Rothchilds, other Royals.
Some of the Americans included some now dead and other still living: George HW Bush, Bill
Clinton Tom Steyer, Al Gore, John Kerry, Netanyahu, lots of bankers, Woolsey (ex CIA),
journalists like Michael Bloomberg, Paul Krugman, activists and politians like Tony Blair,
now dead Zbigniew Brzezinski, CEOs Charles and Edgar Bronfman. The list is long and out of
date but these people control much of what goes on whether good or bad. Their hands are
everywhere doing good and maybe some of this bad stuff.
Given the facts a 10 year-old child could see that the official 911 explanation was totally
flawed. Just three of these facts are sufficient, the 'dancing Israelis', Silverstein
admitting to the 'pull (demolish) it' order and the collapse of steel-framed WTC 7 in
freefall despite not being hit. It is not hyperbole to say that America is a failed state
given that the known perpetrators were never even charged. ZOG indeed.
A respectable civil rights attorney, Lisa Bloom, handled Katie Johnson's case.
"Respectable"?
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
You do realize that Lisa Bloom is the daughter of Glora Allred and defender of Harvey
Weinstein do you not?
You people are so desperate to try to link Trump to Epstein it's pathetic.
I suggest you go back to your gatekeeping nonsense of trying to discredit the 9/11 Truth
Movement by spreading misinformation about nukes in the towers.
This article stakes out much important ground of information and interpretation Kevin
Barrett. The essay resonates as a historic statement of some of our current predicaments.
What about the comparisons that might be made concerning the mysteries attending the
disappearing corpses of Osama bin Laden and Jeffrey Epstein. And according to Christopher
Ketcham, the release of the High Fivin' Urban Movers back to Israel was partially negotiated
by Alan Dershowitz who played a big role in defending Epstein over a long period.
@anon The ultimate "nutjob quackery" of 9/11 is Phillip Zelikow's 9/11 Commission Report,
a document that stands as a testimony and marker signifying the USA's descent into a mad
hatter's imperium of lies. legend and illusion.
It is getting harder and harder to satirize the decadence and depravity of the secular
West, which insists on parodying itself with ever-increasing outlandishness. When the book
on this once-mighty civilization is written, and the ink is dry, readers will be astounded
by the limitless lies of the drunk-on-chutzpah psychopaths who ran it into the ground
@Kevin Barrett Adding to Junior's comment, I quit reading after you wrote of "credible
accusations" of Mr. Trump being involved "in the brutal rape of a 13 year old." And feminist
shakedown artist Lisa Bloom, daughter of the even more infamous feminist shakedown artist G.
Allred, is your "credible source?" Bloom has about as much credibility as the sicko democrat
women who tried to derail Judge Kavanaugh.
Regardless of how much one might hate Trump (and I'm no Trump supporter) levelling such
unfounded accusations is journalistic malfeasance. Did we elect the Devil Incarnate? Mr.
Barrett, I'm done reading you.
The special relationship between the CIA and the Mossad was driven partly by the efforts of
CIA officer James Angleton . Philip Weiss in his article in Mondoweiss entitled "The goy and
the golem: James Angleton and the rise of Israel." states that Angleton's " greatest service
to Israel was his willingness no to say a word about the apparent diversion of highly
enriched plutonium from a plant in Western Pennsylvania to Israel's nascent nuclear program "
The same program which JFK tried to curtail which efforts may have led to his assassination .
a confessed participant in the controlled demolition of Building 7,
For the love of God, this is stupid. Larry Silverstein was talking about the Fire
Commander , for fuck's sake. The Fire Commander made the decision to pull the
firefighters out of the building because they could not put the fire out and were in
unnecessary danger. That's all he meant. There is not one word in this that has anything to
do with a controlled demolition whatsoever.
In order to believe what the 9/11 Douchers would have you believe about this comment, you
would have to believe that 1) Building 7 was wired for demolition beforehand; 2) That the NYC
Fire Commander somehow knew about this; 3) That the NYC Fire Commander was perfectly okay
with allowing his men to spend hours inside a burning building in which he knew that
explosive charges had already been rigged to blow; 4) That the NYC Fire Commander had the
authority to decide when the charges should be blown and had access to the master switch that
would blow them all; 5) That after 7 hours of attempting to fight the fire, the NYC Fire
Commander (who by now can be nothing but a full-fledged member of the conspiracy) decides,
after briefly consulting with Larry Silverstein, "Oh, the hell with this! Let's just blow up
the building now!", to which Larry Silverstein agrees; 6) That after spending 7 hours in a
burning building that had fires burning randomly throughout it and that had been struck by
multiple pieces of debris, all of the explosive charges and their detonators were still in
perfect working order; 7) That none of the firefighters extensively searching the building
for survivors happened to notice any of the pre-placed explosive charges nor thought it
necessary to report about such; 8) That the NYC Fire Commander then proceeds to "pull" the
building after presumably giving some other order for the men to evacuate, which order was
never recorded because the "pull" order must have meant "blow up the building"; 9) And that
Larry Silverstein, after being part of a massive conspiracy involving insurance fraud,
murder, and arson which, if exposed, would send him to a federal death sentence, just decides
to casually mention all of this in a television interview for all and sundry to see, but it
is only the 9/11 Douchers who pick up on the significance of it.
Does any of this sound remotely believable? Did anyone subscribing to this nonsense stop
to think about the context in which this conversation took place? Do any of you 9/11 Douchers
even care that you're being completely ridiculous and grasping at nonexistent straws in your
vain attempt to establish some sort of case for controlled demolition? Do you even care that
everybody can see that what you are saying makes no sense at all? It is perfectly
obvious that Larry Silverstein is NOT talking about controlled demolition here. To
believe otherwise would require you to literally be insane, to not understand the plain
meaning of words and to have no awareness of conversational contexts; yet not only have you
swallowed all of this, you have been beating the drum of this insanity for nearly 20
years.
There is no point in reasoning with an insane person. There is, however, the possibility
that you don't really believe what you are saying and are just flogging a hobbyhorse, in
which case it is you who are engaging in mendacious journalism and trafficking in
lies. In either case, you need to be silenced. Neither lies nor insanity have any "right" to
be uttered in the public square. You 9/11 Douchers are really the ones doing everything you
accuse the mainstream media of doing, and worse. You have become a danger to the public weal
and must be stopped. Your conspiratorial nonsense just isn't cute anymore.
The official stories about the Kennedy assassination, Epstein's death, and 9/11 are
clearly suspect. No one with the capacity for critical thinking can seriously deny this.
Which elements of these stories are true and which are false will never be resolved.
Because:
The mainstream media including Fox News have abdicated their mission as fact finders and
truth tellers. They peddle entertainment and sell ad space. Rachel Maddow foaming at the
mouth about Trump's pee tape and Hannity fulminating about FISA abuse are the same product,
simply aimed at different demographics.
Nothing in the above two paragraphs is even remotely novel. It's all been said before
twenty bazillion times.
Being a feminist or Democrat (or nonfeminist or Republican) is irrelevant to a person's
credibility. It's possible that Lisa Bloom was part of a conspiracy to invent a fictitious
Katy Johnson story, in which case Bloom is guilty of criminal fraud as well as civil libel.
That would be quite a risk for her to take, to say the least. It's also possible that she was
somehow duped by others, in which case they would be running the civil and criminal
liabilities, while she would just get disbarred for negligence.
The same is true of Johnson's attorney Thomas Meagher.
It is also possible that Johnson's story is at least roughly accurate. There is supporting
testimony from another Epstein victim.
If you set aside your prejudices about Democrats-Republicans, feminists-antifeminists,
Trump-Hillary, etc., and just look at what's been reported, you'll agree with me that the
allegations are credible (but of course unproven). If you suffer emotional blocks against
thinking such things about a President, as so many did when similar things were reported
about Bill Clinton, I sympathize but also urge you to get psychiatric treatment so you can
learn to face unpleasant facts and then get to work cleaning up this country.
The release of Prof. J. Leroy Hulsey report on the finite element analysis of the WTC7
collapse should be a big news.
But won't be.
Democracy works this way. The ruling elite, via the media, Hollywood, etc., tell the
people what to think, the people then vote according to the way they think.
So the truth of 9/11 will never be known to the majority unless we have a public statement
from George W. Bush acknowledging that he personally lit the fuse that set off the explosions
that brought WTC 7 down at free-fall
speed .
This is fortunate for the intrepid Dr. Hulsey* who would, presumably, otherwise have had
to be dispatched by a sudden heart attack, traffic accident, weight-lifting accident suicide
with a bullet to the back of the head. As it is, hardly anyone will ever know what he will
say or what it means.
* Fortunate also for those who so rashly advocate for truth here and elsewhere on the yet
to be fully controlled Internets.
Nicely done. Article will not be featured on front page NYT & discussed on TV.
There are many highlights in your article. This is one.
Epstein's career as a shameless, openly-operating Mossad sexual blackmailer -- like the
in-your-face 9/11 coup -- also illustrates another core truth of Western secularism: If
there is no God, there are no limits (in this case, to human depravity and what it can get
away with). Or as Dostoevsky famously put it: "If God does not exist, everything is
permitted."
Please consult the following papers about the CIA/Mossad crimes against humanity and their
pimps who pose as 'politicians' of the fake Western 'democracy' where Epstein was their agent
serving their interest as a PIMP.
{from being the work of a single political party, intelligence agency or country, the
power structure revealed by the network connected to Epstein is nothing less than a criminal
enterprise that is willing to use and abuse children in the pursuit of ever more power,
wealth and control.}

skeptic23 says: September
3, 2019 at 1:00 am GMT 400 Words Geoffrey Berman, U.S. Attorney for the Southern
District of New York, is the only government official who is clearly trustworthy ,
because he could have stopped the 2019 Epstein indictment and he didn't. I don't think
Attorney-General Barr could have blocked it, and I don't think President Trump could have
except by firing Berman. I do trust Attorney-General Barr, however, from what I've heard of him
and because he instantly and publicly said he would have not just the FBI but the Justice Dept.
Inspector-General investigate Epstein's death, and he quickly fired the federal prison head
honcho.
The above statement re: Berman is exactly wrong. He is a Trump Appointee and transition team
member.
1. There was no real Epstein indictment/investigation , just a piece of paper
sufficient to take him into custody and institute a criminal proceeding.
Absolutely standard procedure in this case where the conduct took place openly over
years would include: a. informants wearing wires; b. securing the crime scenes, including all
the properties and the planes; c. simultaneous arrests of 20-50 co-defendants/conspirators
ranging from Maxwell and Wexner at the top to most all staff at the properties where the crimes
occurred, the pilots, etc. None of this happened.
They took computers and records from NY and visited Little St. James for a few hours 30 days
after the arrest. see Rusty Shackleford videos. The way they always build a case like this is
to get the little guys to talk and then move up the food chain to the big boys (and girls).
2. The Bureau of Prisons has two main operations: prisons for convicted offenders and
"federal jails". They are completely separate lines of business. The purpose of the "jails" in
the federal system, where each District has its own, is to obtain convictions from the
detainees. The BOP staff in the jails are members of the prosecution team for all practical
purposes. All mail in and out is read and copied. All calls are monitored and recorded.
Detainees are placed in units after consultations among the BOP, U.S. Marshals and U.S.
Attorneys for the District.
Cooperating codefendants may all be placed on the same unit, for example, so that they
get their stories straight, while those fighting cases are elsewhere.
Snitching is rampant and good information is rewarded by downgrading of charges, lenient
sentencing and assignment to sweet spots in the prison system. Berman and his team were
involved in formulating and were continuously aware of the most minute details of the
conditions of Epstein's confinement.
Berman was at the center of whatever it was that happened.

TAC are no doubt familiar with the truism that "politics is downstream of culture." This maxim, which is undoubtedly true,
should not, however, only be applied to social issues. In fact, culture shapes our public policy very broadly, far more than do dispassionate
"policymakers" exercising careful reason and judgment. The nature of our governance tends to reflect the cultural and philosophical
orientation of our elites, and this orientation is increasingly debauched.
When talking about politics, we should be careful not to define "debauched" too narrowly. While debauchery is typically associated
with over-indulgence of the sensual pleasures, a more fitting political definition is a general loss of self-control.
All the great religious and philosophical traditions understood that there is a part of our nature that can get out of control
and a divine part that can exert control. A culture thus becomes debauched when elites lose the sense that they need to rein themselves
in, that "there is an immortal essence presiding like a king over" their appetites, as Walter Lippmann put it. In the political
realm, debauchery is less characterized by the sensual vices than by an overzealous desire for power.
The ghost of Jeffrey Epstein is all one needs to see that many elites are very debauched as regards social mores. Yet how
might a debauched culture be reflected in the realms of domestic and foreign policy?
Let's start with domestic policy. How would debauched elites govern a democracy at home? One might surmise, for example, that
their lack of self-control might cause them to spend federal money as a means of keeping themselves in power. They might also attempt
to bribe their constituents by promising a variety of domestic programs while also pledging that the programs will be funded out
of the pockets of others. If they were really debauched, they might even borrow money from future generations to pay for these incumbency
protection initiatives. They might run up staggering
debt for the sake of their expedient political needs and promise that "the rich" can provide for it all. In short, the hallmark
domestic policy of a debauched democracy is, and has always been, class warfare.
It should be pointed out that class warfare is not simply a creation of demagogues on the left. Class warfare tends to resonate
most broadly when the wealthy become self-indulgent and unworthy, and dissolute plutocracies are oft times defended by "conservatives."
In the terminal phase of a democracy, this can portend domestic revolution.
While most conservatives might agree about the dangers of class warfare, it is on the foreign policy front where they seem most
debauched themselves. They remain stuck in a vortex of GOP clichés, with standard references to Neville Chamberlain and Winston Churchill,
leaders who were closer in their time to the American Civil War than we are to them now. For many of these "conservatives," every
contemporary authoritarian leader is the progeny of Hitler and any attempt to establish cordial relations is a rerun of Munich 1938.
As with domestic policy, the true sign of a debauched foreign policy is a loss of self-control and an excessive will to power
reflected in attempts to exert dominion over others with no particular nexus to the national interest. A debauched foreign policy
might just look like the decision to invade Iraq -- a war whose supporters offered numerous justifications, including alleged weapons
of mass destruction, democracy promotion, and anti-terrorism. Yet in hindsight, its real cause seems to have been the simple desire
by our leaders to impose their will. In a debauched democracy, class warfare is the paradigmatic domestic policy and profligate war
making is the paradigmatic foreign policy.
Given that self-control and restraint are the hallmarks of a genuinely conservative foreign policy -- because they remain humble
about what human nature can actually achieve -- one should receive the recent conference on
national conservatism with some
skepticism . The
retinue of experts who spoke generally espoused a foreign policy that sought dominion over others -- in other words, a continuation
of the belligerent interventionism that characterized the second Bush administration. This may be nationalism, but it seems not to
be conservatism.
One hopes that the leaders of this new movement will re-consider their foreign policy orientation as they have increasingly formidable
resources to draw upon. The creation of the Quincy Institute and the rise of
an intellectually formidable network of foreign policy "restrainers" provide hope.
Given that culture is king, however, these intellectuals may want to keep top of mind that restraint is not simply a policy option
but a character trait -- a virtue -- that needs to be developed in leaders who are then elevated. Prudent policies are no doubt essential
but the most important challenge in politics is, and always will be, attracting and encouraging the best leaders to rule. Our system
often does the opposite. This is at root a cultural problem.

of America, and author of the new book
Democracy and Imperialism .
I'm not sure I agree with the author's thesis: that debauchery or gratuitous political leadership results in immoral foreign policy.
Were the highly-disciplined and self-sacrificing Japanese militarists who bombed Pearl Harbor and aligned with the Axis (Hitler,
Mussolini) guided by any more virtuous foreign policy than say, "debauched" Churchill and Roosevelt? I doubt it.
Moreover, has the author never heard of the concept "reasons of state"?: a purely political reason for action on the part of
a ruler or government, especially where a departure from openness, justice, or honesty is involved (e.g. "the king returned that
he had reasons of state for all he did"). In an existential emergency, would the leader of a nation be justified in using amoral
means to save his nation; but in all other circumstances should rely on conventional Christian morality as the default position?
This is what Pres. Truman apparently did when he dropped a-bombs on two Japanese cities. What Dietrich Bonhoeffer was apparently
involved with in the assassination attempt on Hitler. What Moses was embroiled with when he slayed 3,000 of his "debauched" followers
in the Exodus from Egypt.
The article lacks specifics on how America's leaders are debauched and how this debauchery influences foreign policy, other
than to say they are "unrestrained". But is non-restraint debauchery? Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was running a gratuitous
non-profit institute to shake down foreign rulers in return for promising political favors if elected. She was going to sell the
country out.
The opponent who beat her in the election promised the opposite and pretty much has delivered on his promises. Just
how is the current administration "unrestrained" other than he has not fulfilled pacifist's fantasies of pulling out of every
foreign country and conflict? Such pull outs have to be weighed on a case by case basis to determine the cost to human life and
world order. If the current administration has a policy it is that our allies have to fight and fund their own wars and conflicts
rather than rely on the U.S. to fight their wars for them.
The article is full of inflationary clichés ('politics is downstream of culture', 'class warfare', etc. And just how does the
author connect the dots between pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who was elected to nothing and held no power over anyone, and our "debauched'
foreign policy? Correlation is not causation but there isn't even a correlation there.
The more one reads opinions of Intellectuals , and as anyone with half a brain knows, to never believe a Politician, I am always
reminded, after considerable research why I personally choose Realism . Realism is certainly not new and has some varied forms.
Realism re-surfaced leading up to and during WW 2.
"...the true sign of a debauched foreign policy is a loss of self-control and an excessive will to power reflected in attempts
to exert dominion over others"
I love this.
We stole Venezuela's assets in the U.S. and even denied their baseball players the ability to send money back to their families,
we really love them. We have an oil embargo on Syria and we are the only reason the Saudis are able to starve Yemen. None of these
countries have ever done anything to us but it feels good that we can do this and even get most of the world to support us.
This reminds me of a Nick Pemberton article when he wrote ...
"We still play the victim. And amazingly we believe it ... We believe we can take whatever we want. We believe that this world
does not contain differences to be negotiated, but foes to be defeated."
I could never get this out of my head.
It drives me crazy that devout Protestants in govt who believe that human nature is corrupt act as if they are standing in the
gap while being belligerent and never questioning their own judgment.
Trump the adulterer was the one who decided against bombing
because he did not have a taste for blood while the pious were eager for it.
"Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the Earth."
-Matthew 5:5
"Meek" is the wrong word/translation. In the original Greek, the word is "preais" and it does not mean docile and submissive.
Rather the word means gentleness blended with restrained strength/power.
The passage should read, "Blessed are those who have swords and know how to use them but keep them sheathed: for they shall
inherit the Earth."
There is a simpler explanation of what has happened to the US. When it comes to human beings, the only thing you need to remember
is Lord Acton's dictum: power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
This current round of unprovoked aggression against small countries started when Clinton attacked Serbia even though he did
not have authorization from the UN. He did it because he could -- Russia had collapsed by then so they were powerless to prevent
NATO from attacking their ally. No one had the power to stop the hegemon so it was a short journey from the relative restraint
of George W. Bush to going beserk all over the world (of course in the name of stopping genocide, ecocide, insecticide or whatever).
Get absolute power, get corrupted.
The same thing is true domestically in the US. A small ethnic minority gave 50% and 25% of the money spent by the Democrats
and Republicans in the last presidential election. That gives them huge influence over the foreign policy of the country. Best
of all, no one else can question what is going on because classic tropes etc. Give a small group absolute power, get the swamp.
I think people like Epstein are state sponsored to use the warped values of the elites to gain political advantage for their masters.
Destroying historic value sets is part of this package.
The destruction of main core Christianity has not helped stem this tide
(subtle Happy Holidays, CE, BCE, etc.) . Brave women and men must arise and sewerize (drain the swamp) this mob of miscreants
defiling our belief system. .They have a right to exist but not dictate by subterfuge and fake news our values as they have been
doing.
Remove the OP pic of the Marines NOW, and fix the rest of your whine later.
This is America, we have no "betters" and our "gov't" has never, and will never, be comprised of anything other than our idiot

Society is otherwise un-governable.
And [due to human nature and physics (of which neither has or will change in the entire history of humanity)] sometimes you
have to go to war at the slightest of hints of provocation in order to achieve "illimitably sustainable conflict" of "Society"

“ If when Political objects are unimportant, motives weak, the excitement of forces small, a cautious commander tries
in all kinds of ways, without great crises and bloody solutions, to twist himself skillfully into peace through the characteristic
weakness of his enemy in the field and in the cabinet, we have no right to find fault with him, if the premise on which he
acts are well founded and justified by success;
still we must require him to remember that he only travels on forbidden tracks,
where the God of War may surprise him; that he ought always to keep his eye on the enemy, in order that he may not have to defend
himself with a dress rapier if the enemy takes up a sharp sword ”.
(Clausewitz, “On War” pg. 137)
Loosely paraphrased: " peaceable resolution to conflict is only effective, and should only be sought and relied upon, when
it is certain that the other party will never resort to arms, with the implication that that is never " [J.M.Thomas R., TERMS,
2012 Pg. 80]
Weakness is provocative don't provoke your enemies. Quit whining.
Let’s start with domestic policy. How would debauched elites govern a democracy at home?
Let's see. They'd likely repeatedly cut taxes on the wealthiest and on corporations and skyrocket deficits. They'd likely increase
military spending to insane levels to the benefit of the military industrial complex. They'd likely perform wide scale deregulation
on polluting industries. They'd ignore all inconvenient science, especially that which didn't support the fossil fuel industry.
They'd likely avoid meaningful action on a healthcare system that is more broken and expensive than any other OECD nation. Then
they'd look for targets, the "others", to bash and attack in attempt to hide the real world consequences of what they were doing.
Why would they do this? They do it for campaign contributions, "a means of keeping themselves in power."
I believe we are in the hands of:
The Demons of “Democracy”
The demons of “democracy” speak of “peace”
While their selling of weapons does not cease
Hypocrites from hell who posture on the world stage
When they should be in a gigantic prison cage
Evil reprobates in positions of power Anything that’s good they devour Destroying countries and families too This is the satanic work they do
Fancy titles are given to their names
Such is the state of a system insane
Madness and filth has become “normal”
Nobody speaks or asks: “Is it moral”?
Principals and ethics, they are of them, devoid Speaking of decency and truth has them annoyed Pimping for war is their diabolical expertise Killing and bombing is the forte of this demonic sleaze
Training and supporting terrorists, they do this as well
Will nobody arrest this treacherous crew from hell?
These people are devils and full of hypocrisy
We need to be freed from these, demons of “democracy”...
An attorney for Jeffrey Epstein confidant (and alleged groomer) Ghislaine Maxwell told a
judge on Wednesday that there are "hundreds" of people named in what is expected to be
approximately 2,000 pages of documents ordered unsealed by the federal appeals court in New
York, according to
Bloomberg .
The lawyer, Jeffrey Pagliuca, told U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska Wednesday that the
materials also include an address book with about 1,000 names . Preska is considering how to
carry out a ruling by the federal appeals court in New York that she must consider unsealing
some of the documents. There was no detail at the hearing as to the identity of the people
are named in the documents, and they may include women who say they are victims of Epstein,
his friends and others . -
Bloomberg
According to court filings, Maxwell was said to have hired, supervised and fired
household staff, while directing the visits of dozens of "massage therapists" to Epstein's
residence , according to the Journal .
In depositions taken in 2009 and 2010 as part of civil lawsuits against Mr. Epstein,
household employees said Ms. Maxwell was a central figure in Mr. Epstein's private life .
Several said Ms. Maxwell hired, supervised, and fired household staff, while directing the
visits of dozens of "massage therapists" -- typically young women.
Juan Alessi, who said in one of the depositions that he served as the Palm Beach house
manager from around 1992 through 2002, described a basket of sex toys in Ms. Maxwell's
bathroom closet . He said he would find them around when he cleaned up after visits from the
young women. -
WSJ
The document release stems from a 2015 defamation lawsuit in New York brought by Epstein
accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre against Maxwell. Giuffre says Maxwell helped Epstein traffic
herself and other underage girls to sex parties at the billionaire pedophile's many residences.
Maxwell has denied any wrongdoing and called Giuffre a liar.
The case was settled in 2017 and the records were sealed - however appeals by the Miami
Herald, Harvard Law professor (and former Epstein pal) Alan Dershowitz and right-wing blogger
Mike Cernovich were successful.
In August, the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has ordered the
partial release of Epstein documents, which revealed that Giuffre said that President Trump
was a "good friend of Jeffrey's," but that Trump 'didn't partake in any sex with any of us,"
adding "Donald Trump never flirted with me."
Epstein was found dead in federal lockup last month after his arrest on child
sex-trafficking charges. While the case was dismissed against Epstein, Judge Preska must now
consider how to release the sealed records - and from the looks of it, the possibility remains
that they may not be released at all.
The real question about that name list, and why it may or may not be released is:
How many other 'Epsteins' are still active? Observing that Epstein was a hedge fund
trader, one might posit that he 'traded' and 'hedged' with other 'non-financial traders'
so...
This was the same question I had for Penn State/Jerry Sandusky. My suspicion was there was
a vast network across sports with elite alums sponsoring these nefarious activities. Paterno
was sacked, an investigator killed and everything got very quiet.
This is just a hypothesis. Where are the facts ? The only facts that we have is that Epstein
always got a "special treatment" and the Maxwell and other accomplices were not arrested as is
usually ion such cases -- when prosecution tries to find "the weakest link" that starts telling
the story and will implicate others.
In most circles, the mystery of exactly how Epstein made his fortune was shrugged off as
simply part of his personal mystique. Epstein played the role of enigmatic billionaire 'to a
T', able to exude the persona of a man who could use his charm and wit to get anything he
wanted without revealing many of the nuts and bolts of how he rose to that position. He claimed
that he would only advise people whose personal wealth was over a billion, yet any 'evidence'
that he moved money around and made investments within the established industry markets were
small-time and insignificant.
... ... ...
Steve Pieczenik, who has a storied history as a psychiatrist and a terrorism expert with
important roles in foreign affairs with many U.S. administrations said the following about
Jeffrey Epstein in the video below:
I want to talk about the Epstein pedophilia ring, what
it really is, is a Mossad Israeli operative ring which goes back decades and decades.Jeff Epstein was picked out by the Mossad as the proper agent of influence, because, number
one, he was grandiose, two, he had some intelligence and he was so narcissistic that they could
manipulate him up and down and create a false front for him, which involved the fact that he
had multi-million dollars, multi-billion dollars.But to make sure that Jeffrey Epstein
was working properly, they had an operative from the Mossad who was named Maxwell, the daughter
of Robert Maxwell, one of the greatest crooks in the world, who was an Israeli Mossad
operative. When he died in 1991, he was either killed or he died, he was one of the biggest
contributors to Israeli national security than anybody else.What the Israelis did,
under the tutelage of two brilliant Mossad chiefs, both of whom used pedophilia as a honey trap
to encapsulate any one of our operatives in America. Jeff Epstein was a willing operative.
He
willingly was involved in pedophilia, the Israelis knew that, they created his story line, they
made believe he was a billionaire, Wexner was the theoretical backup man to him.Acosta,
the Secretary of Labor, was correct when he said that Epstein got off of the prosecutor's
indictment in Florida because he worked in the intelligence service. And it was not only the
Mossad who was involved, clearly the CIA was involved.
Blackmailer And Intelligence
Operative
In the clip below from the Collective Evolution Show on CETV (you can watch the full episode as part of your free 7-day trial
here ), Joe and I discussed not only Epstein's
role as a blackmailer and intelligence operative, but the fact that he is nothing more than one
person in a long line of people who have stepped in to play a role in these child sex
blackmailing operations.
Connecting Epstein's operations to current CIA and Mossad programs and
then further back even before the CIA existed, where these operations were formally being run
by the American mafia and other powerful figures, reveals important patterns that help us piece
together more accurately exactly what is happening in our world. If there is anything to pay
attention to regarding Epstein's death, it is the level of desperation on the part of these
powerful forces to squelch public attention around their very real organized criminal
conspiracy that operates between intelligence, government, law enforcement, mainstream media
and others, in which innocent women and children are taken, raped, and sometimes even tortured
and killed as mere casualties of the self-serving power struggles amongst factions of world
power.
Whitney Webb has done a ton of research on these issues: Barr, Mena airport,
Iran-Contra, guns and dope, and Clinton; he worked for Casey, CIA director under Reagan, as
they say, there are no ex-spies.
Epstein has a "history" that explains a lot. When you run through it, it's clear that the
Epstein story is about much more than young girls and political blackmail. In fact CIA
airfields, drug running, Clintons, money laundering, assassinations etc. The conclusion is
that Epstein is only the visible tip of the iceberg.
The Sott.net article is a 100% necessary article to print out and read carefully. It
explains better than anything else I've read about how and why the US is in the place it is
today.
@utu Jean-Luc Brunel is Jewish. He had a nasty reputation for drugging young women and
raping them once they became helpless. His "modeling agency" had offices in Paris, N.Y., and
Tel Aviv. He's in Israel right now, laying low.
While details on Epstein death are not interesting (he ended like a regular pimp) the corruption of high level officials his case
revealed in more troubling.

The Jeffrey Epstein case is notable for the ups and downs in media coverage it's gotten over the years. Everybody, it seems, in
New York society knew by 2000 that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were corrupting teenage girls, but the press wouldn't cover
it. Articles by New York in 2002 and
Vanity Fair in 2003 alluded to it gently,
while probing Epstein's finances more closely. In 2005, the Palm Beach police investigated. The county prosecutor, Democrat Barry
Krischer, wouldn't prosecute for more than prostitution, so they went to the federal prosecutor, Republican Alexander Acosta, and
got the FBI involved. Acosta's office prepared an indictment, but before it was filed, he made a deal: Epstein agreed to plead guilty
to a state law felony and receive a prison term of 18 months. In exchange, the federal interstate sex trafficking charges would not
be prosecuted by Acosta's office. Epstein was officially at the county jail for 13 months, where the county officials under Democratic
Sheriff Ric Bradshaw gave him scandalously
easy treatment , letting him spend his days outside, and letting him serve a year of probation in place of the last 5 months
of his sentence. Acosta's office complained, but it was a county jail, not a federal jail, so he was powerless.
Epstein was released, and various lawsuits were filed against him and settled out of court, presumably in exchange for silence.
The media was quiet or complimentary as Epstein worked his way back into high society. Two books were written about the affair, and
fell flat. The FBI became interested again around 2011 (
a little known fact
) and maybe things were happening behind the scenes, but the next big event was in 2018 when the Miami Herald published a
series of investigative articles rehashing what had happened.
In 2019 federal prosecutors indicted Epstein, he was put in jail, and
he mysteriously died. Now, after much complaining in the press about how awful jails are and how many people commit suicide, things
are quiet again, at least until the Justice Department and
the State of Florida finish their
investigation a few years from now. (For details and more links, see " Investigation: Jeffrey Epstein
"at Medium.com and " Jeffrey Epstein " at Wikipedia
.)
I'm an expert in the field of "game theory", strategic thinking. What would I do if I were Epstein? I'd try to get the President,
the Attorney-General, or the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York to shut down the investigation before it went public.
I'd have all my friends and all my money try to pressure them. If it failed and I were arrested, it would be time for the backup
plan -- the Deal. I'd try to minimize my prison time, and, just as important, to be put in one of the nicer federal prisons where
I could associate with financial wizards and drug lords instead of serial killers, black nationalists, and people with bad breath.
That's what Epstein would do. What about the powerful people Epstein would turn in to get his deal? They aren't as smart as Epstein,
but they would know the Deal was coming -- that Epstein would be quite happy to sacrifice them in exchange for a prison with a slightly
better golf course. What could they do? There's only one good option -- to kill Epstein, and do it quickly, before he could start
giving information samples to the U. S. Attorney.
Trying to kill informers is absolutely routine in the mafia, or indeed, for gangs of any kind. The reason people call such talk
"conspiracy theories" when it comes to Epstein is that his friends are WASPs and Jews, not Italians and Mexicans. But WASPs and Jews
are human too. They want to protect themselves. Famous politicians, unlike gangsters, don't have full-time professional hit men on
their staffs, but that's just common sense -- politicians rarely need hit men, so it makes more sense to hire them on a piecework
basis than as full-time employees. How would they find hit men? You or I wouldn't know how to start, but it would be easy for them.
Rich powerful people have bodyguards. Bodyguards are for defense, but the guys who do defense know guys who do offense. And Epstein's
friends are professional networkers.
One reporter said
of Ghislaine Maxwell, "Her Rolodex would blow away almost anyone else's I can think of -- probably even Rupert Murdoch's." They know
people who know people. Maybe I'm six degrees of separation from a mafia hit man, but not Ghislaine Maxwell. I bet she knows at least
one mafioso personally who knows more than one hit man.
In light of this, it would be very surprising if someone with a spare $50 million to spend to solve the Epstein problem didn't
give it a try. A lot of people can be bribed for $50 million. Thus, we should have expected to see bribery attempts. If none were
detected, it must have been because prison workers are not reporting they'd been approached.
Some
people say that government incompetence is always a better explanation than government malfeasance. That's obviously wrong --
when an undeserving business gets a contract, it's not always because the government official in charge was just not paying attention.
I can well believe that prisons often take prisoners off of suicide watch too soon, have guards who go to sleep and falsify records,
remove cellmates from prisoners at risk of suicide or murder, let the TV cameras watching their most important prisoners go on the
blink, and so forth. But that cuts both ways.
Remember, in the case of Epstein, we'd expect a murder attempt whether the warden of
the most important federal jail in the country is competent or not. If the warden is incompetent, we should expect that murder attempt
to succeed. Murder becomes all the more more plausible. Instead of spending $50 million to bribe 20 guards and the warden, you just
pay some thug $30,000 to walk in past the snoring guards, open the cell door, and strangle the sleeping prisoner, no fancy James
Bond necessary. Or, if you can hire a New York Times reporter for $30,000 (
as Epstein famously did a couple of years ago), you can spend $200,000 on a competent hit man to make double sure. Government
incompetence does not lend support to the suicide theory; quite the opposite.
Now to my questions.
Why is nobody blaming the Florida and New York state prosecutors for not prosecuting Epstein and others for statutory rape?
Statutory rape is not a federal crime, so it is not something the Justice Dept. is supposed to investigate or prosecute. They
are going after things like interstate sex trafficking. Interstate sex trafficking is generally much harder to prove than statutory
rape, which is very easy if the victims will testify.
At any time from 2008 to the present, Florida and New York prosecutors could have gone after Epstein and easily convicted him.
The federal nonprosecution agreement did not bind them. And, of course, it is not just Epstein who should have been prosecuted. Other
culprits such as Prince Andrew are still at large.
Note that if even if the evidence is just the girl's word against Ghislaine Maxwell's or Prince Andrew's, it's still quite possible
to get a jury to convict. After all, who would you believe, in a choice between Maxwell, Andrew, and Anyone Else in the World? For
an example of what can be done if the government is eager to convict, instead of eager to protect important people, see
the 2019 Cardinal
Pell case in Australia. He was convicted by the secret testimony of a former choirboy, the only complainant, who claimed Pell
had committed indecent acts during a chance encounter after Mass before Pell had even unrobed. Naturally, the only cardinal to be
convicted of anything in the Catholic Church scandals is also the one who's done the most to fight corruption. Where there's a will,
there's a way to prosecute. It's even easier to convict someone if he's actually guilty.
Why isn't anybody but Ann Coulter talking about Barry Krischer and Ric Bradshaw, the Florida state prosecutor and sheriff who went
easy on Epstein, or the New York City police who let him violate the sex offender regulations?
Krischer refused to use the evidence the Palm Beach police gave him except to file a no-jail-time prostitution charge (they eventually
went to Acosta, the federal prosecutor, instead, who got a guilty plea with an 18-month sentence). Bradshaw let him spend his days
at home instead of at jail.
In New York State, the county prosecutor, Cyrus Vance, fought to prevent Epstein from being classified
as a Level III sex offender. Once he was, the
police didn't enforce the
rule that required him to check in every 90 days.
How easy would it have been to prove in 2016 or 2019 that Epstein and his people were guilty of federal sex trafficking?
Not easy, I should think. It wouldn't be enough to prove that Epstein debauched teenagers. Trafficking is a federal offense, so
it would have to involve commerce across state lines. It also must involve sale and profit, not just personal pleasure.
The 2019 indictment
is weak on this. The "interstate commerce" looks like it's limited to Epstein making phone calls between Florida and New York. This
is why I am not completely skeptical when former U.S. Attorney Acosta says that the 2008 nonprosecution deal was reasonable. He had
strong evidence the Epstein violated Florida state law -- but that wasn't relevant. He had to prove violations of federal law.
Why didn't Epstein ask the Court, or the Justice Dept., for permission to have an unarmed guard share his cell with him?
Epstein had no chance at bail without bribing the judge, but this request would have been reasonable. That he didn't request a
guard is, I think, the strongest evidence that he wanted to die. If he didn't commit suicide himself, he was sure making it easy
for someone else to kill him.
Could Epstein have used the safeguard of leaving a trove of photos with a friend or lawyer to be published if he died an unnatural
death?
Well, think about it -- Epstein's lawyer was Alan Dershowitz. If he left photos with someone like Dershowitz, that someone could
earn a lot more by using the photos for blackmail himself than by dutifully carrying out his perverted customer's instructions. The
evidence is just too valuable, and Epstein was someone whose friends weren't the kind of people he could trust. Probably not even
his brother.
Who is in danger of dying next?
Prison workers from guard to warden should be told that if they took bribes, their lives are now in danger. Prison guards may
not be bright enough to realize this. Anybody who knows anything important about Epstein should be advised to publicize their information
immediately. That is the best way to stay alive.
This is not like a typical case where witnesses get killed so they won't testify.
It's not like with gangsters. Here, the publicity and investigative lead is what is most important, because these are reputable and
rich offenders for whom publicity is a bigger threat than losing in court. They have very good lawyers, and probably aren't guilty
of federal crimes anyway, just state crimes, in corrupt states where they can use clout more effectively. Thus, killing potential
informants before they tell the public is more important than killing informants to prevent their testimony at trial, a much more
leisurely task.
What happened to Epstein's body?
The Justice Dept. had better not have let Epstein's body be cremated. And they'd better give us convincing evidence that it's
his body. If I had $100 million to get out of jail with, acquiring a corpse and bribing a few people to switch fingerprints and DNA
wouldn't be hard. I find it worrying that the government has not released proof that Epstein is dead or a copy of the autopsy.
"Beyond its isolation, the wing is infested with rodents and cockroaches, and inmates often have to navigate standing water
-- as well as urine and fecal matter -- that spills from faulty plumbing, accounts from former inmates and lawyers said. One lawyer
said mice often eat his clients' papers."
" Often have to navigate standing water"? "Mice often eat his clients' papers?" Really? I'm skeptical. What do the
vermin eat -- do inmates leave Snickers bars open in their cells? Has anyone checked on what the prison conditions really like?
Is it just a coincidence that Epstein made a new will two days before he died?
I can answer this one. Yes, it is coincidence, though it's not a coincidence that he rewrote the will shortly after being denied
bail. The will leaves everything to a trust, and it is the trust document (which is confidential), not the will (which is public),
that determines who gets the money. Probably the only thing that Epstein changed in his will was the listing of assets, and he probably
changed that because he'd just updated his list of assets for the bail hearing anyway, so it was a convenient time to update the
will.
Did Epstein's veiled threat against DOJ officials in his bail filing backfire?
Epstein's lawyers wrote in his bail request,
"If the government is correct that the NPA does not, and never did, preclude a prosecution in this district, then the government
will likely have to explain why it purposefully delayed a prosecution of someone like Mr. Epstein, who registered as a sex offender
10 years ago and was certainly no stranger to law enforcement. There is no legitimate explanation for the delay."
I see this as a veiled threat. The threat is that Epstein would subpoena people and documents from the Justice Department relevant
to the question of why there was a ten-year delay before prosecution, to expose the illegitimate explanation for the delay. Somebody
is to blame for that delay, and court-ordered disclosure is a bigger threat than an internal federal investigation.
Who can we trust?
Geoffrey Berman, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, is the only government official who is clearly trustworthy,
because he could have stopped the 2019 Epstein indictment and he didn't. I don't think Attorney-General Barr could have blocked it,
and I don't think President Trump could have except by firing Berman. I do trust Attorney-General Barr, however, from what I've
heard of him and because he instantly and publicly said he would have not just the FBI but the Justice Dept. Inspector-General investigate
Epstein's death, and he quickly fired the federal prison head honcho. The FBI is untrustworthy, but Inspector-Generals are often
honorable.
Someone else who may be a hero in this is Senator Ben Sasse.
Vicki Ward
writes in the Daily Beast :
"It was that heart-wrenching series that caught the attention of Congress. Ben Sasse, the Republican senator from Nebraska,
joined with his Democratic colleagues and demanded to know how justice had been so miscarried.
Given the political sentiment, it's unsurprising that the FBI should feel newly emboldened to investigate Epstein -- basing
some of their work on Brown's excellent reporting."
Will President Trump Cover Up Epstein's Death in Exchange for Political Leverage?
President Trump didn't have anything personally to fear from Epstein. He is too canny to have gotten involved with him, and the
press has been eagerly at work to find the slightest connection between him and Epstein and have come up dry as far as anything but
acquaintanceship. But we must worry about a cover-up anyway, because rich and important people would be willing to pay Trump a lot
in money or, more likely, in political support, if he does a cover-up.
Why did Judge Sweet order Epstein documents sealed in 2017. Did he die naturally in 2019?
Judge Robert Sweet in 2017 ordered all documents in an Epstein-related case sealed. He died in May 2019 at age 96, at home in
Idaho. The sealing was completely illegal, as the appeals court politely but devastatingly noted in 2019, and the documents were
released a day or two before Epstein died. Someone should check into Judge Sweet's finance and death. He was an ultra-Establishment
figure -- a Yale man, alas, like me, and Taft School -- so he might just have been protecting what he considered good people, but
his decision to seal the court records was grossly improper.
Did Epstein have any dealings in sex, favors, or investments with any Republican except Wexner?
Dershowitz, Mitchell, Clinton, Richardson, Dubin, George Stephanopolous, Lawrence Krauss, Katie Couric, Mortimer Zuckerman,
Chelsea Handler, Cyrus Vance, and Woody Allen, are all Democrats. Did Epstein ever make use of Republicans? Don't count Trump, who
has not been implicated despite the media's best efforts and was probably not even a Republican back in the 90's. Don't count Ken
Starr– he's just one of Epstein's lawyers. Don't count scientists who just took money gifts from him. (By the way, Epstein made very
little in the way of
political contributions
, though that little went mostly to Democrats (
$139,000 vs. $18,000
. I bet he extracted more from politicians than he gave to them.
What role did Israeli politician Ehud Barak play in all this?
Remember Marc Rich? He was a billionaire who fled the country to avoid a possible 300 years prison term, and was pardoned
by Bill Clinton in 2001. Ehud Barak, one of Epstein's friends, was one of the people
who asked for Rich to be pardoned
. Epstein, his killers, and other rich people know that as a last resort they can flee the country and wait for someone like Clinton
to come to office and pardon them.
Acosta said that Washington Bush Administration people told him to go easy on Epstein because he was an intelligence source. That
is plausible. Epstein had info and blackmailing ability with people like Ehud Barak, leader of Israel's Labor Party. But "intelligence"
is also the kind of excuse people make up so they don't have to say "political pressure."
Why did nobody pay attention to the two 2016 books on Epstein?
James Patterson and John Connolly published Filthy Rich: A Powerful Billionaire, the Sex Scandal that Undid Him ,
and All the Justice that Money Can Buy: The Shocking True Story of Jeffrey Epstein . Conchita Sarnoff published TrafficKing:
The Jeffrey Epstein Case. I never heard of these before 2019. Did the media bury them?
Which newspapers reported Epstein's death as "suicide" and which as "apparent suicide"?
More generally, which media outlets seem to be trying to brush Epstein's death under the rug? There seems to have been an
orchestrated attempt to divert attention to the issue of suicides in prison. Subtle differences in phrasing might help reveal who's
been paid off. National Review had an article,
"The Conspiracy
Theories about Jeffrey Epstein's Death Don't Make Much Sense." The article contains no evidence or argument to support the headline's
assertion, just bluster about "madness" and "conspiracy theories". Who else publishes stuff like this?
How much did Epstein corrupt the media from 2008 to 2019?
Even outlets that generally publish good articles must be suspected of corruption. Epstein made an effort to get good publicity.
The New York Times
wrote,
"The effort led to the publication of articles describing him as a selfless and forward-thinking philanthropist with an interest
in science on websites like Forbes, National Review and HuffPost .
All three articles have been removed from their sites in recent days, after inquiries from TheNew York Times .
The National Review piece, from the same year, called him "a smart businessman" with a "passion for cutting-edge science."
Ms. Galbraith was also a publicist for Mr. Epstein, according to several news releases promoting Mr. Epstein's foundations In
the article that appeared on the National Review site, she described him as having "given thoughtfully to countless organizations
that help educate underprivileged children."
"We took down the piece, and regret publishing it," Rich Lowry, the editor of National Review since 1997, said in an email.
He added that the publication had "had a process in place for a while now to weed out such commercially self-interested pieces from
lobbyists and PR flacks.""

Not one question involving Maurene Comey, then? She was one of the SDNY prosecutors assigned to this case, and her name has
been significantly played down (if at all visible) in the reportage before or after Epstein's death. That she just "happened"
to be on this case at all is quite an eyebrow raiser especially with her father under the ongoing "Spygate" investigation
Apparently, there will always be many players on the field, and many ways to do damage control.
So the problem was finding a motivated prosecutor in case of Jewish predator with very likely links to intelligence services
of several countries. The motivation was obviously lacking.
Your "expertise" in game theory would be greatly improved if you let yourself consider the Jewish factor.
As important as it is to go on asking questions about the life and death of Jeffrey Epstein, I have to admit that personally
I'm just not interested. I've always found people of his social class to be vaguely repulsive even without the sordid sex allegations.
Just their demanding personalities, just the thought of them hanging around in their terrycloth jogging suits, sneering at the
world with their irrefrangible arrogance, is enough to make me shudder. I want nothing of their nightmare world; and when they
die, I couldn't care less.
More generally, which media outlets seem to be trying to brush Epstein's death under the rug?
Not the National Enquirer:
Jeffrey Epstein Murder Cover-up Exposed!
Death Scene Staged to Look Like Suicide
Billionaire's Screams Ignored by Guards!
Fatal Attack Caught on Jail Cameras!
Autopsy is Hiding the Truth!
I don't hold AG Barr in the high regard this piece does. While I'm not suggesting he had anything to do with Epstein's
death I do think he's corrupt. I doubt he will do anything that leads to the truth. As for him relieving the warden of
his duties, I would hope that was to be expected, wasn't it? I mean he only had two attempts on Epstein's life with the second
being a success. Apparently the first didn't jolt the warden into some kind of action as it appears he was guilty of a number
of sins including 'Sloth.'
As for the publications that don't like conspiracy theories –like the National Review
-- they are a hoot. We are supposed to have faith in this rubbish? The cameras malfunctioned. He didn't have a cellmate. The
guards were tired and forced to work overtime. There was no camera specifically in the cell with Epstein.
In the end I think Epstein probably was allowed to kill himself but I'm not confident in that scenario at all. And yes the media
should pressure Barr to hav e a look in the cell and see exactly how a suicide attempt might have succeeded or if it was a long-shot
at best, given the materiel and conditions.
19. Why is the non-prosecution agreement ambiguous ("globally" binding), when it was written by the best lawyers in the country
for a very wealthy client? Was the ambiguity bargained-for? If so, what are the implications?
20. With "globally" still being unresolved (to the bail judge's first-paragraph astonishment), why commit suicide now?
21. The "it was malfeasance" components are specified. For mere malfeasance to have been the cause, all of the components would
have to be true; it would be a multiplicative function of the several components. Is no one sufficiently quantitative to estimate
the magnitude?
22. What is the best single takeaway phrase that emerges from all of this? My nomination is: "In your face." The brazen, shameless,
unprecedented, turning-point, in-your-faceness of it.
ER the answer is easy to you list of questions .. there is no law in the world when violations are not prosecuted and fair open
for all to see trials are not held and judges do not deliver the appropriate penalties upon convictions. .. in cases involving
the CIA prosecution it is unheard of that a open for all to see trial takes place.
This is why we the governed masses need a parallel government..
such an oversight government would allow to pick out the negligent or wilful misconduct of persons in functional government
and prosecute such persons in the independent people's court.. Without a second government to oversee the first government there
is no democracy; democracy cannot stand and the governed masses will never see the light of a fair day .. unless the masses have
oversight authority on what is to be made into law, and are given without prejudice to their standing in America the right to
charge those associated to government with negligent or wilful misconduct.
There are big questions this article is not asking either
The words 'Mossad' seems not to appear above, and just a brief mention of 'Israel' with Ehud Barak
One tiny mention of Jewish magnate Les Wexner but no mention how he & the Bronfmans founded the 'Mega Group' of ultra-Zionist
billionaires regularly meeting as to how they could prop up the Jewish state by any & all means, Wexner being the source of many
Epstein millions, the original buyer of the NYC mansion he transferred to Epstein etc the excellent Epstein series by Whitney
Webb on Mint Press covering all this https://www.mintpressnews.com/author/whitney-webb/
Was escape to freedom & Israe,l the ultimate payoff for Epstein's decades of work for Mossad, grooming and abusing young teens,
filmed in flagrante delicto with prominent people for political blackmail?
Is it not likely this was a Mossad jailbreak covered by fake 'suicide', with Epstein alive now, with US gov now also in possession
of the assumed Epstein sexual blackmail video tapes?
We have the Epstein 'death in jail' under the US Attorney General Bill Barr, a former CIA officer 1973-77, the CIA supporting
him thru night law school, Bill Barr's later law firm Kirkland Ellis representing Epstein
Whose Jewish-born ex-OSS father Donald Barr had written a 'fantasy novel' on sex slavery with scenes of rape of underage
teens, 'Space Relations', written whilst Don Barr was headmaster of the Dalton school, which gave Epstein his first job, teaching
teens
So would a crypto-Jewish 'former' CIA officer who is now USA Attorney General, possibly help a Mossad political blackmailer
escape to Israel after a fake 'jail suicide'?
An intriguing 4chan post a few hours after Epstein's 'body was discovered', says Epstein was put in a wheelchair and driven
out of the jail in a van, accompanied by a man in a green military uniform – timestamp is USA Pacific on the screencap apparently,
so about 10:44 NYC time Sat.10 Aug
FWIW, drone video of Epstein's Little St James island from Friday 30 August, shows a man who could be Epstein himself, on the
left by one vehicle, talking to a black man sitting on a quad all-terrain unit
Close up of Epstein-like man between vehicles, from video note 'pale finger' match-up to archive photo Epstein
The thing that sticks out for me is that Epstein was caught, charged, and went to jail previously, but he didn't die .
The second time, it appears he was murdered. I strongly suspect that the person who murdered Epstein was someone who only met
Epstein after 2008, or was someone Epstein only procured for after 2008. Otherwise, this person would have killed Epstein
back when Epstein was charged by the cops the first time.
Either that, or the killer is someone who is an opponent of Trump, and this person was genuinely terrified that Trump would
pressure the Feds to avoid any deals and to squeeze all the important names out of Epstein and prosecute them, too.
The author professes himself "expert in the field of "game theory", strategic thinking," but he doesn't say how his 18 questions
were arrived at to the exclusion of hundreds of others. Instead, the column includes several casual assumptions and speculation.
For example:
"Probably the only thing that Epstein changed in his will was the listing of assets, and he probably changed that because
he'd just updated his list of assets for the bail hearing anyway, so it was a convenient time to update the will."
"President Trump didn't have anything personally to fear from Epstein."
"I do trust Attorney-General Barr, however, from what I've heard of him and because he instantly and publicly said he would
have not just the FBI but the Justice Dept. Inspector-General investigate Epstein's death, and he quickly fired the federal
prison head honcho. The FBI is untrustworthy, but Inspector-Generals are often honorable."
As to this last, isn't "quickly [firing] the federal prison head honcho" consistent with a failure-to-prevent-suicide deflection
strategy? And has Mr. Rasmusen not "heard" of the hiring of Mr. Epstein by Mr. Barr's father? Or of the father's own Establishment
background?
I hope to be wrong, but my own hunch is that these investigations, like the parallel investigations of the RussiaGate hoax,
will leave the elite unscathed. I also hope that in the meantime we see more rigorous columns here than this one.
...Also, subsequently, it should have been a top priority to arrest Ghislaine Maxwell but the government, justice and media

"... Child trafficking also serves three organizational functions. First, it provides reliably adverse compromising information to securely control CIA assets.

We mustn't get wrapped around the axle with the satanist business. That's nonessential,
sizzle for the steak. It helps CIA deride their denouncers as nuts. It's best to stick to a
functional point of view: what does ritual 'satanic' abuse do for CIA?
Pedophile child trafficking is a CIA profit center that helps top up its unappropriated
slush fund for clandestine crime. (Recall that FBI turbocharged Playpen, increasing its
turnover and inventory by orders of magnitude. If you think that stuff sits on the shelf
unused, well then I am a Nigerian Prince, please help me get my millions from the bank.)
Child trafficking also serves three organizational functions. First, it provides
reliably adverse compromising information to securely control CIA assets. Second, it
initiates nomenklatura with grandiose feelings of power and freedom. (Recall Craig Spence
worked hand-in-glove with Don Gregg, Ray Kline, DeGenova, Toensing, all the CIA big shots.)
Third, pedophile abuse maintains a pool of persons with severe dissociative disorders who can
be induced to commit, or just take the fall for, CIA crimes.
When interdiction of child sexual abuse escaped FBI control and passed to a world-standard
organization, unprecedented loads of shit hit the fan. It was great.
"The Committee is concerned that the State party is one of theworld's largest
producers, distributors and consumers of child pornography The Committee is concerned at the
information that the State party remains among the main source countries for child sex
tourism The Committee is concerned at the information that prostitution of children is a
widespread and increasing phenomenon in the State party."
The Committee breaks down how the CIA regime keeps the traffic going with organizational
deficiencies and feckless law enforcement busywork.
CIA pedophile trafficking constantly morphs: The Boy's Town/Franklin Scandal, The Dutroux
Organization in Belgium, PIE/care homes in Britain, The Presidio, The McMaster School, The
Finders, Craig Spence, the Digital Entertainment Network, Penn State/Fifth mile, the
Congressional pedophile page ring of Foley/Hastert, the John of God child-livestock biz, and
the continual dull roar of child migrant trafficking in California, Arizona, Florida, Texas,
and Washington State.

Epstein was strategic in recruiting girls and he selected those who badly need money and were ready for moral compromises to get
to modeling career, or acting or massage therapy.
In a was this was a replay of how Hollywood treats starlets but a different set of "customers" for the girls. What is
unclear why Maxwell was in this dirty business. Was it for money ?
Another accuser, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, said she was 17 when Maxwell allegedly
recruited her. Giuffre said she was told that she could have a career as a massage therapist, but she
instead became "a victim of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and the horrible acts they committed
against me."
"I commend the prosecutors for the Southern District of New York for their ongoing pursuit
of justice," she said.
Maxwell, a British socialite, has been named in some court filings by women alleging abuse
by Epstein.
A cache of court papers relating to a separate 2015 federal defamation lawsuit filed by
Giuffre against Maxwell shows that she claimed in a 2016 deposition that Epstein and Maxwell groomed her
to become a "sex slave" for high-powered men starting when she was 16.
Maxwell has not been charged with a crime and has not commented
publicly since the papers were released earlier this month. Her lawyer also has
not previously returned a request for comment upon release of the documents
Friday and could not be immediately reached on Tuesday.
Previously, in a motion to dismiss the suit, Maxwell's lawyers
said Giuffre "produced no evidence substantiating any of her fantastical claims
that she had been trafficked by Epstein, or by Maxwell."
U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman said Epstein's death was "a rather
stunning turn of events" and that giving the women a chance to speak was a matter
of law and "respect."
"I believe it is the court's responsibility and in its purview
that the victims in the case are dealt with, with dignity and with humanity," he
said.
That version does not explain presence of cameras in multiple Esptein homes. And the past
that in his NYC home their installation predate his acquisition (actually the house was gifted to
him by Wexner, who is the person who installed the cameras.) Camera is what is used to compromise
politicians. Is this a typical mafia activity, or a typical intelligence agencies activity. I
think the latter is more plausible.

The story of Jeffrey Epstein has lost its mystery as more and more commentators allow
themselves to express the thought that it is a strong possibility that Epstein was connected to
a crime syndicate affiliated with a Zionist political organisation or Israel and/or at least a
few compromised intelligence agencies.
Whitney Web and others have produced superb studies of possible scenarios, I would instead
like to attack the topic from a cultural perspective. Epstein wasn't the first Jewish sex
trafficker. This seems like a good time to look back at Zwi Migdal, a Jewish global crime
syndicate that operated a century ago and trafficked tens of thousands of Jewish women and
under age girls as sex slaves. According to contemporary Jewish writer
Giulia Morpurgo the Zwi Migdal had turned Argentina, "into a nightmare of prostitution and
exploitation."
During the first three decades of the 20th century Argentina was a rich country. It outgrew
Canada and Australia in population, total income, and per capita income. Just before the first
world war Argentina was the world's 10th wealthiest state per capita. When Argentina was a rich
country, large parts of its economy, culture and politics were controlled by crime syndicates
and particularly a Jewish organised crime apparatus named 'Zwi Migdal.'
In 2009 The International Jewish Coalition Against Sexual Abuse/Assault (JCACA) published a
comprehensive article about the Zwi Migdal titled Understanding
the Zwi Migdal Society which I am about to quote from extensively.
The Zwi
Migdal , was an association of Jewish mobsters who were involved in the "sexual
exploitation of Jewish women and children, which operated globally." Apparently the Zwi Migdal
originally picked a pretty innocent sounding name: "Warsaw Jewish Mutual Aid Society." It does
indeed sound almost as innocent, humane and charitable as 'Anti Defamation League,' 'Jews
against Breast Cancer,' or even 'Jewish Voice for Peace' but the Warsaw Jewish Mutual Aid
Society wasn't innocent at all. It forced thousands of women and girls to become sex slaves and
destroyed their lives.
On May 7, 1906, the Jewish syndicate had to change its title after the Polish ambassador to
Argentina filed an official complaint to the Argentine authorities regarding the use of the
name 'Warsaw.' Clearly, the Polish government did not want to be associated with a Jewish crime
syndicate. In that line, it would be appropriate to ask how long is it going to take before the
American government and its politicians insist that AIPAC drop its first 'A' or before The
Neocon Project of the New American Century are ordered to drop American from their title.
"Zwi Migdal means 'strong power' in Yiddish and it also honoured Zvi Migdal, known as Luis
Migdal, one of the founders of the crime organization."
The Zwi Migdal organization operated from the 1860s to 1939. In its heyday, after the
First World War, it had four hundred members in Argentina alone. Its annual turnover was fifty
million dollars in the early 1900s.
Unlike Epstein and Maxwell who allegedly recruited non-Jewish underage women, the Zwi Migdal
specialised in trafficking Jewish women. "Most of the Jewish women and children who were
kidnapped were taken from impoverished shtetls (Jewish small towns) and brought to Buenos
Aires."
The recently released documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein affair suggest that
Epstein and Maxwell were to be charged with child sex trafficking, and as the alleged procurer
of underage girls. It seems none of that is really novel in the Jewish world: "The Zwi
Migdal Society lured decent girls and young women from Europe in many inventive and deceitful
ways. A very well-mannered and elegant-looking man would appear in a poor Jewish village in
places such as Poland or Russia. He would advertise his search for young women to work in the
homes of wealthy Jews in Argentina by posting an ad in the local synagogue. Fearful of pogroms
and often in desperate economic circumstances, the trusting parents would send their naïve
daughters away with these men, hoping to give them a fresh start."
The last line recalls Virginia Giuffre's account of her encounter with the elegant
British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell who allegedly lured her victims to 'escape' their
misery.
The JCACA continues "The girls, aged mostly 13 to 16, packed a small bag, bade their
families farewell and boarded ships to Argentina, believing that they were on their way toward
a better future. However, they soon learned the bitter truth. Their period of training as sex
slaves, which began on the ship, was cruel and brutal. The young virgins were "broken in" ~
raped, beaten, starved and locked in cages."
The Zwi Migdal Organization reached its peak in the 1920s when some 430 rufianos, or
pimps, controlled 2,000 brothels trafficking
around 30.000 Jewish women and girls in Argentina alone. "The largest brothels of Buenos
Aires housed 60 to 80 female sex slaves. There were brothels all over Argentina, but most of
them were in the big city, in the Jewish quarter, on Junin Street."
Apparently "Prostitutes who failed to satisfy their clients were beaten, fined, or taken to
work in provincial houses. Every business transaction was logged. The rufianos 'held a meat
market' where newly arrived girls were paraded naked in front of traders in places such as
Hotel Palestina or Cafe Parisienne."
One may wonder how all of that fit with Judaic tradition and Talmudic law. "In one
brothel," the ACACA reports, "the Madam, an observant Jewish woman, would not let her women
work on Fridays but instructed them herself in the art of lovemaking."
Many commentators on the Epstein affair are amazed by the incapacity of America's law
enforcement, legal system and federal agencies to bring justice to Epstein's victims and its
failure to lock him away. Once again, that is not new. The JCACA writes of the Zwi Migdal
criminality: "These activities went on undisturbed because they were frequented by government
officials, judges, and reporters. City officials, politicians, and police officers were paid
off. The pimps had powerful connections everywhere."
The Jewish community didn't rush to save their abused daughters. "The prostitutes, who
were mostly illiterate, destitute and despised by the mainstream Jewish community, banded
together to form their own mutual-aid societies." However, rarely, some Jewish ethnic activists
stood for the abused women and girls. "One night Nahum Sorkin, a well-known Zionist activist,
stood outside the theatre and physically stopped the rufianos (Jewish pimps) from entering.
Next, they were banned from the synagogues, and to top it all, they were refused burial in the
Jewish cemetery."
From Rachel (Raquel) Lieberman to Virginia Roberts Giuffre
We learn that the rufianos' audacity eventually led to their demise. "It happened when they
refused to forgo their income from the work of one woman, Rachel Lieberman from Lódž,
Poland. She, like so many others, was tempted to travel to Buenos Aires answering a matrimonial
ad, but was taken to Jonin Street where she was forced to prostitute."
"After five years she had enough money to go into the antique furniture business to support
herself and her sons but the rufianos made it impossible for her. They did not want her to set
an example for their other slaves. But this woman had not been broken."
As was the case for Virginia Giuffre, it needed brave Rachel to come forward.
https://vimeo.com/124652938 In desperation,
Rachel Lieberman "contacted Superintendent Julio Elsogray. She had heard his name mentioned on
the street as one who would not take Zwi Migdal's money and was actually looking for ways to
destroy the organization. She slipped into his office one day and gave a detailed account of
the connections among the various pimps in the organization management.
Her testimony led to an extensive investigation. The findings reached Dr. Rodriguez
Ocampo, a judge who would not take Zwi Migdal bribes either.
The lengthy trial ended in September 1930, with 108 detainees. "The very existence of
the Zwi Migdal Organization directly threatens our society," the judge wrote in his verdict,
handing down long prison terms."
As with Epstein and his mobsters friends, things changed quickly and not in favour of
justice let alone guided by ethical principles. The Zwi Migdal mobsters were at least as well
connected as Epstein to politicians, judges and prosecutors. "While in prison, the pimps pulled
some old strings, appealed their sentences in January 1931, and senior Justice Ministry
officials left only three of the convicts in jail, discharging the rest."
As was the case with The Miami Herald's Julie Brown and many of us in the alternative media
who didn't allow the rotten. Epstein and his pedophile ring's crimes to be shoved under the
carpet, the 1930s Argentinian media didn't agree to turn a blind eye to the Jewish syndicate's
impunity.
When the media reported the release of the Zwi Migdal's mobsters from jail, "the public was
very upset and pressured the authorities to reverse the discharge decision. Thereafter,
hundreds of pimps were deported to Uruguay. "Over the years, they slowly returned one by one,
but the era of the huge brothels ended."
The JCACA sums up the Zwi Migdal saga by stating that the Jewish crime syndicate was "an
organization that traded in women while its members wore tefillin (a Jewish religious garment)
and built themselves a synagogue." I guess the same can be said about Epstein's ring. They may
not be religious, they may not wear Tefillin but they are self identified Jewish Zionists who
donate to Israel and vocally support Israel's criminal politics.
The JCACA proclaims that the Zwi Migdal's "history is an embarrassment to all decent Jews.
It involved loads of money, corrupt politicians, violent sex, international women trade, hard
brutality, rape, and cheating, all lightly spiced with yiddishkeit and God-fearing traditions.
Among those traditions, according to Jewish beliefs as expressed in the Torah, is that it is
perfectly fine to keep slaves so long as they are not Jewish. Yet these Zwi Migdal also
enslaved Jewish girls and a great many who ran the bordellos were Jewish women."
I find
myself admitting that except for Benjamin Netanyahu who denounced Ehud Barak for his ties with
Epstein for political opportunist reasons, I have yet to see a single Jewish organisation
express any embarrassment in regard to Epstein and his sex trafficking operation.
On the contrary, Epstein's lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, announced that he is actually
a victim of the #metoo movement . He also occasionally insists that Jews should never
apologise for using their strength. Maxwell has kept quiet.
Wexner has yet to apologise. Like Dershowitz, he adopted the victim path announcing that
Epstein 'misappropriated' a few shekels from his family and he regret being associated with the
sex trafficker. JVP that cares so much for Palestinians must be slightly less bothered by
Guiffre's plight.
I am left wondering, is it the fact that Zwi Migdal abused Jewish women and girls that
provoked Jewish discomfiture? I guess that, at least for the time being, it seems as if Jews do
not posses the cultural or psychological means to look refectively into Epstein and his ring.
The only question left open is whether the FBI has the cojones to do its job.
Statista's Martin
Armstrong notes that the report, 'Bleak Houses' also found that the temporary accommodation
of families and children is often not fit for human habitation with shipping containers, office
blocks and B&Bs being re-purposed to house them.
Commenting on the findings, Children's Commissioner Anne Longfield said:
"It is a scandal that a country as prosperous as ours is leaving tens of thousands of
families in temporary accommodation for long periods of time , or to sofa surf."
On the reasons for the current situation, Polly Neate, chief executive of charity Shelter
blamed "a cocktail of punitive welfare policies, a woeful lack of social homes and wildly
expensive private rents mean this is frighteningly commonplace."
over 200,000 homeless Children yet the UK somehow has plenty of money to give the ******

homeless children. this is going on everywhere in the west. the west is evil and its soul is
black as night
Ok, smart guys. How can you supply native British children for rape and grooming by
Muslims if you don't create a system that destroys the families first? Huh?! You CAN"T!
The system of laws and benefits is perfect and is doing exactly what was intended. Here,
have some fentanyl.
Are these native children or immigrant? Are these young children or immigrant 20
somethings who lied to get in? Is this a sign that there are more than enough people and you
don't need immigrants?
Isn't wildly high rent a function of low interest rates pushing up real estate prices?
What is the legal definition of a child for this report?
Technically everyone is a child. I have an adult 'child' as in I am his mother. Still I am
my parents child. And we are all God's children.
In America we define children as people under 18; what age does the UK stop calling them
'children'?
I've spend weeks arguing with perverts on this board that girls at 16 or 17 are still
children while being told in Europe where they are more progressive 14 is the age of consent.
Does that mean a 14 year old is an adult?

The protection of sex traffickers by intelligence agencies is especially interesting in the wake of Epstein’s
death. Like others, Epstein had long been
purported to have links
with spy agencies. Such allegations documented by Whitney Webb in her multi-part series were recently published in
Mintpress News.
Webb states that Epstein was the current face of an extensive system of abuse with ties to both organized crime and
intelligence interests. She told CNLive!that: “According to Nigel
Rosser, a British journalist who wrote in the Evening Standard in 2001, Epstein apparently for much of the 1990s claimed that he
used to work for the CIA.”
Vicky Ward,, who wrote on Epstein for Vanity Fair before his first arrest, and claimed
the magazine killed one of her pieces after Epstein intervened with editor Graydon Carter, said in a Tweet that one of Epstein’s
clients was Adnan Khashoggi, an arms dealer who was pivotal in the Iran Contra scandal and
was on the Mossad (the Israeli intelligence agency) payroll. This was also noted in a book “By Way of Deception” by former
Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky.
The Times of Israel reported that Epstein was an
“active business partner with former prime minister Ehud Barak” until 2015, adding: “Barak formed a limited partnership company
in Israel in 2015, called Sum (E.B.) to invest in a high-tech startup…. A large part of the money used by Sum to buy the

ties to Israel’s intelligence community.” On the board of their company
sat Pinchas Bukhris, a former commander of the IDF cyber unit 8200.
Epstein’s allegedly protected status was revealed by Alexander Acosta, the former U.S. attorney in Miami who gave Epstein an
infamously lenient plea deal in 2007. Acosta, who was forced to resign as President Donald Trump’s labor secretary because of
that deal, reportedly said of the case: “I was told Epstein
‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone.”

US and Israeli spy agency activities in the United States are by no means limited to sex
trafficking.
Details about CIA and NSA surveillance activities conducted in the United States were
revealed in the disclosure by Edward Snowden in June 2013.
A top-secret document provided by Snowden also revealed that the SIGINT National Unit of
Israel routinely receives raw intelligence data (including those of U.S. citizens) from the
NSA.
An agreement between the NSA and its Israeli counterpart places no legally binding limits
on the use of the data by the Israelis.
Billions of dollars per year are spent by US government agencies to purchase software
systems, including intelligence programs developed by private companies with direct links to
Israeli intelligence agencies such as cyber warfare Unit 8200, which is subordinate to the
Israel Military Intelligence directorate.
In addition to enormous security risks embedded in US government tech platforms,
commercial systems and software produced by Israeli companies linked to Israeli intelligence
put US citizens at significant risk.
The political implications of these government and consumer tech security vulnerabilities
are staggering.
The fact that Israeli intelligence agencies have been given the means to spy on American
citizens is of major concern. Surveillance of US citizens by Israel, and the potential for
political blackmail of US government officials by Israel, should prompt immediate
investigation.
In addition, many pro-Israel Lobby organizations trying to influence US politics have
direct links to Israeli government ministries, military, and intelligence agencies.
In 2016, Al Jareeza installed an undercover journalist inside several
Washington–based pro-Israel Lobby propaganda organizations, including the Foundation
for Defense of Democracies (FDD), Stand With Us, the Foundation for Defense of Democracies,
the Israel on Campus Coalition, the Zionist Organization of America's (ZOA) Fuel For Truth,
and The Israel Project (TIP).
The Al Jareeza documentary series, "The Lobby – USA" exposed a covert war waged by
the pro-Israel Lobby in America. News of the controversial documentary in October 2017
prompted efforts to censor its broadcast.
In February 2018, it was reported that Qatari leaders had reassured the leaders of Jewish
American organisations that Al Jazeera would not be airing the documentary series on the
Israel lobby in the United States.
According to Haaretz, the Qatari government had reportedly hired Republican Senator Ted
Cruz's former aide Nicolas Muzin to open communications channels with Jewish American
organisations. Earlier, the network had sent letters to several American pro-Israel
organisations informing them that their employees would appear in the documentary. These
letters generated speculation that the Qatari government had reneged on its earlier promise
to block Al Jazeera from screening the controversial documentary which, like the earlier
British series, had utilized clandestine footage and recordings of pro-Israel Lobby
propaganda activities.
In March 2018, a group of US lawmakers including Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer,
Republican Congressman Lee Zeldin, and Ted Cruz penned a letter urging United States Attorney
General Jeff Sessions to investigate whether Al Jazeera should register as a foreign agent
under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. They also urged the Justice Department to
investigate reports that the network had infiltrated non-profit organisations and accused Al
Jazeera of broadcasting "antisemitic", "anti-Israel", and "anti-American" content.
In April 2018, the Zionist Organization of America's president Morton Klein claimed credit
for lobbying the Qatari government not to screen Al Jazeera's documentary series focusing on
American pro-Israel Lobby.
In late August and early September 2018, leaked portions of the documentary series were
aired by several outlets including The Electronic Intifada. In early November, The Electronic
Intifada released the four episodes of "The Lobby – USA".

Adnan Khashoggi was not only an arms dealer, he was also a money launderer and a cocaine
kingpin who worked with and for the CIA. Please, see the article: "The Jeffrey Epstein Social
Network & the Container Ship Crime Wave." This excellent article can be found online at
Daniel Hopsicker's Madcow Productions. So, let's see; Donald Barr was former OSS, William
Barr (aka Robert Johnson) was CIA, Adnan Khashoggi was an asset of the CIA, and Jeffrey
Epstein Epstein claimed that he worked for the CIA in the 90's. Please, also see, "Creating a
Crime: How the CIA Commandeered the DEA." This article, which was written by Douglas
Valentine for Counterpunch (counterpunch.org), was published on September 11, 2015. Dennis
Dayle, who was the former chief of an elite DEA enforcement unit made the following statement
for the record: "In my thirty-year history in the Drug Enforcement Agency and related
agencies, the major targets of my investigations almost invariably turned out to be working
for the CIA." The quote is from "Causes and Cures National Campaign on the Narcotics
Epidemic: Final Report, (Washington, D.C., 1991) 9.
Epstein's private island was wired for video, literally everywhere, so that couples could
not take off somewhere for a private get-together. If that doesn't sound like an intelligence
service's elaborate "honey trap," I don't know what does.
Hard to see why Epstein and Company would record literally everyone, unless they were
creating compromising material for potential blackmail or political pressure. Who would be
interested in videos of a number homely, older men making love to young women, other than a
blackmailer or a spy agency? But we have no evidence or even suggestion of blackmail. Many of
Epstein's big-shot friends remained his friends for many years, returning for visits again
and again.
But there are suggestions, in the way his case was handled by prosecutors for his
conviction in 2008 and the highly unorthodox sentencing he received, of some kind of powerful
outside influence at work. There's just no question about that. And, of course, his sentence
allowed a complete return to the same arrangements he had had in New York to just continue on
a private island, perhaps only adding a certain new sense of exotic adventure for
visitors.
It's really automatic. Spy agencies recruit using blackmail, so their recruited members
are going to have unfashionable and illegal habits. Spy agencies know a lot of secrets, so
they have the material to engage in blackmail against leaders who try to subdue the agency.
Vicious circle.
CitizenOne , August 24, 2019 at 23:03
Well researched article on one of the key tactics that intelligence uses to blackmail
their targets they want to neutralize or hold a sword over their heads. Not only that but it
does not nor does it always involve children. Adults that are tools for anyone trying to gain
control over another person often use seduction and illicit sex as blackmail when the target
is confronted with evidence that the relationship is known about and that the details of it
if revealed would tarnish and perhaps severely damage the reputation of the targeted
individual. It is a tool used by not just intelligence agencies but also the mob and any
underhanded organization that hits below the belt.
That was the strategy of the FBI and its attempts to control MLK. They wiretapped his
telephone, bugged his hotel rooms and eventually got a sex tape. When nobody in the press
would publish it without sources that the FBI was unwilling to disclose they mailed the tape
with a suicide note to MLK saying he would be destroyed by the tape and rather than facing
his impending character assassination he should consider suicide to preserve his honor and
legacy.
The FBI told MLK to kill himself.
On April 3 1968 MLK delivered his last speech. Part of that speech was an open recognition
of the ruthless forces that tried to convince him he should kill himself rather than be
shamed by sexual indiscretions. In the speech he said the following, "Well, I don't know what
will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn't matter with me
now, because I've been to the mountaintop. And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to
live – a long life; longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I
just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked
over. And I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know
tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land. So I'm happy, tonight. I'm not
worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming
of the Lord"
The next day April 4th he was assassinated. The rest of the history of that crime is also
mired in controversy. James Earl Ray was arrested and convicted but tried many times from
jail to change his plea to innocent. His requests for a trial were never granted and he died
in prison. The King family believes that MLKs death was at the hands of the government to
this day.
Is it not feasible that the FBI upon failing to convince MLK to commit suicide would take
matters into their own hands?
The whole unraveling of events begins with information obtained by wiretapping and bugging
that King had committed illicit sex acts. The attempts to derail King and end his career or
in the end his life stemmed from the initial dirt the FBI had on him about sex.
Initially Hoover approached Bobby Kennedy with his demands that Bobby Kennedy should
authorize the wiretapping and bugging of King, which as Attorney General, Bobby Kennedy could
do. He initially refused Hoover's demands until Hoover produced evidence of JFK's sexual
improprieties and threatened to go public with the information in his possession. Upon
examining the evidence and fearing the damage it could do to the presidency, he changed his
mind and begrudgingly authorized the FBI to use whatever spy technology they had to eavesdrop
on every private conversation MLK had.
MLK was assassinated April 4th 1968 and Bobby Kennedy was assassinated June 8th 1968 two
months later. Mopping up operations for those who knew too much.
The point is that sex has been used as a tool by the powerful since the beginning of time
as a way to completely control individuals over allegations of sexual impropriety. It is one
of the most powerful means to control others and to get them to bend to ones will as are many
blackmail situations.
Given what we know of history, there is motive and opportunity for those who would like to
see a compromised and vulnerable Jeffery Epstein's voice silenced as he was one who knew too
much about the methods used by powerful people in high places to exercise control over
others.
That is why his activities were allowed for so many years and also why he is now dead.
Gregory Herr , August 25, 2019 at 01:03
I recommend William Pepper's research on the MLK assassination.
Monsters in suits they are the chosen ones and they can make their fantasies into reality
that allow abuse to happen on any unfortunate child they want their sickness to choose. .We
certainly do have a problem with mental illness in the world This is what the sick in power
have become and the rest of us are too busy struggling for survival to want to know or
believe or care. The disinterest is heartbreaking.we must mass socially to help human nature
turn this behaviour around. Thank you for making me to never forget

This is an astonishing piece. If true, that actual pedophilia -- the sexual molestation of
children who have not yet reached puberty -- is so common that it involves stunning numbers
of people in high positions, then the world is an even worse place than I thought it was.
But what has mostly been going through my mind these past few weeks is how taboos on
behaviors that really should not be so taboo have been used over the decades to extort,
blackmail and hold in check powerful figures. J. Edgar Hoover's famous files that presumably
noted adultery and homosexuality were used to hold and increase Hoover's power, and yet he
couldn't touch the Mafia because they had evidence of Hoover's own homosexual activity. So
the cost to society has been considerable.
It is not accurate to describe Epstein as a pedophile. Those girls were teenagers,
reproductively viable young adults. Need I say that when the entire history of the human race
is considered, most people were born to adolescents, because the luxury did not yet exist of
living beyond the age of 20 or 30, so if one wanted to procreate, one had to do it early.
Civilization has brought with it an extended period of preparation for adulthood, but that
has not changed human physiology or delayed the onset of sexual behavior. It has only been
since the 1980s that this fierce taboo against sex with teenagers has been a part of cultural
hysteria.
I, along with everyone else in the general public, have only the vaguest knowledge of what
transpired within the residences of Jeffrey Epstein. But it sounds like these girls were paid
generously for their services and they kept coming back week after week. I think I read that
one girl said she had been raped by Epstein twenty times. Did she not, after the first
'rape', go home to her parents, where she was presumably housed, fed, and clothed, where she
did not tell her parents what happened, and then the next week returned to chez Epstein a
second time, and then a third, and so forth? If that was the case, then every episode after
the first was not a rape, which means that the first episode was not a rape also.
Every sanctimonious hypocrite who refers to the infamous Epstein parties as 'sex
trafficking' 'pedophilia' should admit that, barring the need for discipline to avoid
cheating on one's wife or to protect an elite reputation, they would have been happy to be
given a consenting teenage girl as a party favor.
The point being made is that were there not this regressive cultural hysteria against teen
sex then this whole mess, with it's likely extortions, would not have happened. There is a
price society pays for this, and it's quite a bit more than just the death of one
unscrupulous billionaire.
Alan Ross , August 25, 2019 at 09:23
" should admit that, barring the need for discipline to avoid cheating on one's wife or to
protect an elite reputation, they would have been happy to be given a consenting teenage girl
as a party favor."
I think many men would have reservations about having sex with 13 year old girls. Just
because, at an earlier time in civilization it might have been necessary to procreate by
having sex with very young women does not justify it now. Does the reservation have to do
with the fact that 13 year-olds do not have fully developed personalities? Our criminal
justice systems are beginning to recognize that young men and women under 18 are not really
adults.
ML , August 25, 2019 at 12:07
Thank you, Alan Ross. I have made similar comments several times in the reply sections of
these articles. Thearche begins before menarche, often a couple years or more before
menarche. It can begin at 8, 9, or 10. That is puberty- therache followed by menarche.
Children's bodies are not completely matured enough at the young end of the teen years to
have sex. And of course, their minds, their judgement, their ability to see through deceit is
extremely compromised at young ages. That's why teens are generally so dangerous behind the
wheel of a car- lack of good judgment. The brain is still developing. When you add in the
poverty some of these kids experienced and the promises of money, clothing, food, you get
exploitation which people like "Spike" don't seem to see. Any person who thinks like he does
isn't safe around children- be they 7 or 17.
Taras77 , August 24, 2019 at 14:16
This is an excellent article.
The author mentions Whitney Webb and her excellent series on Mint Press; here is the last
of a four part serious:
Very long but well worth the read; as is well known, Bill clinton (slick) is up to his
eyeballs in mena drug traffic, etc.
Also, to state the obvious, current AG Barr does not come off as a leading charger on a white
horse for justice and accountability during his previous stint as AG under bush I. Could
cause some to link to reasons for long delay of doj in releasing fbi,doj files, now over 90
days since trump gave the go ahead to release.
Amanda , August 24, 2019 at 12:38
Excellent article. Yes, this seems to be standard operating procedure and how our
politicians are controlled behind the scenes.
The naive days of Joe McCarthy and the Lavender Scare are long over. Homosexuality and
marital affairs no longer serve as effective blackmail materials, replaced by the leverage of
filmed pedophilia, and torture and killing of sex objects.
Whitney Webb's coverage both historical through Epstein shows what America, or at least, its
Intelligence Agencies have become, closely invested in the Mafia and Israel, as well as our
financiers and politicians. Her last in her Epstein coverage: https://www.mintpressnews.com/genesis-jeffrey-epstein-bill-clinton-relationship/261455/

A lot of "alleged" and "it is possible" here.
bardamu , August 23, 2019 at 23:29
Fine article.
Given that "intelligence" agencies with no functional oversight and regularly involved in
black ops use these things, and that a fresh use surfaces every few years, it seems
parsimonious to conclude that they are a regular part of some subsection of intelligence
community and, by extension, government operation. It makes little sense that this sort of of
business is forever starting and stopping: that would be difficult to do.
Given that neither of the two major US parties have shown any interest in pursuing such
connections, it seems clear that neither see any political advantage in pursuing it. A
parsimonious conclusion is that at least some powerful members of media and both parties are
involved, and that the connections are enough of an open secret that people know not to
pursue it.
By extension, do we avoid the conclusion that this is in some way a mafia-run
government?
Well, Criminal is criminal. No organization can match the war-making State for
criminality. As long as that's clear, make any comparison you like. The war-making State is a
terror organization and, as such, it's not going to shock us when we find it involved in
widespread abuse of children or anything criminal. War, then, isn't alone the health of the
State (Randolph Bourne.) Any darkness you may wish to think of will be found committed by the
State and its worshippers. This is the thought behind the expression that aggression of one
State toward another (par for the course with the United States) is the supreme crime,
including within that crime all others.
Edward Herman's thoughts about terrorism:
=== =
The really massive and significant growth of terrorism since World War II has been that
carried out by states Contrary to [Claire] Sterling's foolish remark about the "colossal"
armaments of retail terrorists, state military resources are vastly larger State terrorism is
also much more important than non-state violence because it is rooted in relatively permanent
structures that allow terror to be institutionalized ." -pg 83 of "The Real Terror
Network" by Edward Herman
= ===
Substitute "child abuse" for "terrorism" in the above quote and you'll find that it works.
Is the 'institutionalization' of child abuse not what we are seeing here?

The Deep State is simply an international mafia of smaller mafias, the center of which is
the international banking cabal. While their various alliances may shift over time, their
primary interest, to remain in power, stays the same.
The vast global Ponzi scam that is international banking has swelled to its bursting point
and the current chapter of that fraud needs to be closed and restarted. Much of what we are
now seeing are the end games of the various mafias scrambling for the best positions as this
round of the game comes to a close.
Of course, none of this would be possible without the consent of the mostly ignorant
masses.
Most people just don't want to know.
Larry Shea , August 23, 2019 at 18:21
Yup, Check out former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Dennis Hastert. See
the video clip on NewsBud, "The Hastert Scandal: What the Media Isn't Telling You." The title
of the piece is, The People's Campaign: The Real Hastert Case All in One Place. The
above-mentioned video clip can be accessed within this article. More elite deviance!
The Times of Israel reported
that Epstein was an "active business partner with former prime minister Ehud Barak" until 2015,
adding: "Barak formed a limited partnership company in Israel in 2015, called Sum (E.B.) to
invest in a high-tech startup . A large part of the money used by Sum to buy the start-up stock
was supplied by Epstein."
Webb wrote he "was a long-time friend of Barak, who has long-standing and deep ties to
Israel's intelligence community." On the board of their company
sat Pinchas Bukhris, a former commander of the IDF cyber unit 8200.
Epstein's allegedly protected status was revealed by Alexander Acosta, the former U.S.
attorney in Miami who gave Epstein an infamously lenient plea deal in 2007. Acosta, who was
forced to resign as President Donald Trump's labor secretary because of that deal, reportedly said of the
case: "I was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to leave it alone."
Netanyahu: "Listen, I've got a bit of bad news. A tape recording has recently
surfaced of you and Monica having phone sex. The good news is that one of my most trusted
lieutenants has tracked it down. He assures me that he has the original tape and that there
are no known copies. No one else knows about the tape but my lieutenant and me. Of course, I
ordered him to destroy the tape and to never speak of it again. It will be like it never even
happened. All that remains is our friendship."
Clinton: "Thank you, Bibi. Your friendship means the world to me."
Netanyahu: "I know, Bill. I feel the same way about you."
"... Now she has set her sights on many millions and has a top notch team of lawyers behind her. ..."
"... The tens of millions in compensation that were paid out by Epstein to the schoolgirls in restitution has to be taken into account when considering if they got justice, or the system failed them in 2007. ..."
@Jeff Stryker Epstein
was never married to Maxwell although she desperately wanted him to make her his wife (she
could not have been forced to give evidence against him if she had been his wife of
course)...
Incidentally, Laing was 17 years old when she started in the business. Virginia Roberts/
Giuffre started working for Epstein at 17 and Tony Figueroa is described by court documents
as Epstein's former bodyguard who was dating Virginia Roberts/ Giuffre when she was employed
by Epstein, and being handsomely paid.
Now she has set her sights on many millions and has a top notch team of lawyers behind
her. Do not mix her and her lurid blackmail of prime ministers and presidents yarns (in
which she is the breathtakingly sexy centre of international Jet Set attention that no man
can resist of course) up with the thirty odd early teens from from Palm Beach High School
that Epstein's legal troubles stemmed from, none of who said they had sexual contact
with anyone but Epstein or saw anyone else there.
The tens of millions in compensation that were paid out by Epstein to the schoolgirls
in restitution has to be taken into account when considering if they got justice, or the
system failed them in 2007.
If he had beat the case, which Michael Jackson had just done with something not too
different, the girls would have got nothing. That would have been failing them totally I
think.
It's likely G-Max spent the spring in Manchester BTS, Ma. She left and where she is this
summer isn't public (yet). It does make sense in some minds that she is an informant.
And for that reason, private but not on the run from law enforcement.
After Epstein's death you would have thought that she would have moved to the top of the
list of people to be charged with related crimes to JE? If she has it's been very quiet.
@Tony Ryals Don't
forget that Maxwell's publishing empire started by getting publishing rights to much of
Germany's scientific papers.
As a British intelligence officer in Occupied Germany, he was in an excellent position to
blackmail or threaten any number of people in order to get his way. Shooting people himself
is not the easiest way of doing things. There are better ways in a country where people are
starving.
Curiously, Isabel followed in the family tradition of filing for bankruptcy in December 2015
despite having been a multi-millionaire. That move may have been related to the untimely demise
at age 56 of her third husband, the infamous con man Al Seckel who, she later found out, was
not legally her husband since he was still married to his first wife. In 2015, when he
reportedly died, he was potentially on the hook for millions
Seckel befriended and bewitched the Nobel Prize-winning physicists Richard Feynman and
Murray Gell-Mann among other neuroscientists, as well as academics and even magicians like
James Randi.
Seckel then used those contacts to sell rare books to prestigious customers who were often
hoodwinked out of thousands in bad deals. He moved on to co-opt the burgeoning field of optical
illusion, popularizing the art of manipulating images by using research from others in books he
wrote.
(His daughter, Elizabeth Seckel, has built on her father's work in optical illusion by
pioneering something called "mirror box therapy." Seckel brought her method, sponsored by the
Clinton Global Initiative, to Haiti after the earthquake in 2012 to help recent amputees with
their phantom limb pain.)
In 2010, Seckel hosted a scientific conference on Jeffrey Epstein's infamous private island
with Gell-Mann, Leonard Mlodinow, who was Stephen Hawking's co-author, and MIT's Gerald
Sussman.
Oppenheimer told The Daily Beast this week that there was "no evidence" that Seckel or any
of the scientists at the island party were involved in any sexual activity with young
girls.
In 2004 Seckel gave a TED talk that's been viewed almost 2.5 million times about "perceptual
illusions that fool our brains."
Because of Seckel's shady past, it was not surprising that vague reports of his death -- a
perceptual illusion perhaps? -- began popping up just weeks after Oppenheimer's July 2015 story
exposed him to hordes of creditors.
A paid obituary was published on Legacy.com, supposedly after appearing in the San Gabriel
Valley Tribune, but it does not appear on the paper's website. One report has circulated around
various Seckel-obsessed corners of the internet that his body was found at the bottom of a
cliff near the home in France where he had moved with Isabel.
But The Daily Beast could not locate any officials in the town where Seckel was last known
to live who had any report of his death. Oppenheimer and others said they have not yet found
proof, either. The Daily Beast was unable to reach Isabel Maxwell or Elizabeth Secker for
comment.
Wexner, owner of Bath and Body Works, Victorias Secret and The Limited, heads a group of
politically active Jewish billionaires intent on solving Israel's issues with American military
lives.
@Sean Good questions.
Answer: Chutzpah? Alternate answer: Dersh didn't find it radioactive when he went down to
Palm Springs and started digging up dirt on Epstein's accusers. At what point would he find
it radioactive?
After all, Jeff and Jizzaline were on a free pass for the next 15 years scooting about on
a magic carpet– ie.– they were accepted. Also, the recent Labor Secretary openly
stated he, as a prosecutor, was told to leave it alone– 'Epstein belonged to
intelligence.' What's not to like?
The only real surprise was the recent indictment. Why now? (needs research) NOW Dersh
finds it radioactive.
Comment on Wexner– Can you really take Wexner's excuses at face value? We recently
found out from Whitney Webb that Wexler installed monitoring equipment throughout the Upper
East Side mansion he then 'gave' to Epstein. There's evidently more to this case than Epstein
himself. Webb then connects Wexler to organized crime and well-heeled organized
Zionism– both sponsors of multi-farious sex/blackmail schemes stretching back decades
(as in Meyer Lansky and Roy Cohn). Jizzaline wasn't considered radioactive at Chelsea
Clinton's wedding. Looks like pedophilia is as Zio-American as apple pie.
Wexner, 81, is the only known client of Epstein's mysterious money management
firm registered in the U.S. Virgin Islands. He is also the former owner of Epstein's
45,000-square-foot residence on Manhattan's "Museum Mile."
Wexner hired Epstein to manage his multi-billion-dollar fortune in 1987. The relationship
was seen as highly unusual per Wall Street standards. "It's just not typical for someone of
such enormous wealth to all of a sudden give his money to some guy most people have never heard
of," a person who knew Epstein told the New Yorkmagazine in 2002.
But Wexner has said that he severed ties with Epstein a decade ago after he faced
allegations of sexually assaulting dozens of underage girls and running a sex trafficking
scheme targeting minors. Those accusations led to a criminal case in 2008, but a team
of skilled attorneys helped Epstein strike a controversially lenient plea deal with
prosecutors.
In February, a federal judge in Flordia (where Epstein has a large home) appealed the
verdict, saying prosecutors in the 2008 case had violated laws by allowing Epstein to plead
guilty before notifying victims.
Last Saturday, Epstein was arrested at a New Jersey airport on newly unsealed indictments
related to sex trafficking.
L Brands and the Wexner family haven't publicly commented on the new case against
Epstein.
In April 2003, a research report for the Wexner Foundation was leaked which was entitled
Wexner Analysis: Israeli Communication Priorities 2003 . The document was prepared by
the Luntz Research Companies and Israel Project. The document was a public relationship
document which provided communication strategies for American supporters of Israel, especially
those in the media, on how to sway U.S. public opinion in favor of Israel in the
Israeli–Palestinian conflict, and how to link Israel's interests with those of the United
States. It was considered controversial since it was seen as a covert communication campaign
for swaying the American public and showed a lack of good faith in resolving the conflict.
In October 2018, Israeli reporter Erel Segal and news outlets such as mida had reported that
US$2.3 million had been transferred to Ehud Barak for unknown work between 2004 and 2006 by the
Wexner foundation, which had described the money transfer as payment for research.
On October 29th Maariv (through its Israeli radio station) reported that Ehud Barak had been
given the funds while he was a private citizen and the fund transfer is under
investigation.
However, on November 6 a call for investigation by the attorney general of Israel had been
filed. The following day, it was reported that contrary to initial claims, the Wexner funds had
been transferred to Ehud Barak while he may not have been a private person.
–
The Mega Group's role in the Epstein case has garnered some attention, as Epstein's main
financial patron for decades, billionaire Leslie Wexner, was a co-founder of the group that
unites several well-known businessmen with a penchant for pro-Israel and ethno-philanthropy
(i.e., philanthropy benefiting a single ethnic or ethno-religious group). However, another
uniting factor among Mega Group members is deep ties to organized crime, specifically the
organized crime network, which was largely led by notorious American mobster Meyer Lansky.
Even when he was 'sent down' to the cushy jail – he had it made easy. He was able to buy all he wanted. Including kiddie size
girl panties! In prison!!
His charitable work was supposed to be at a charity set up just before he went in prison guards accompanying him on his daily
escapades and multi 'chiropractory' appointments per day were paid by him and had to dress in business suits the records of who
met have been destroyed.
But the prison has had to release a whole bunch of records that still exist.
This is a exploding can of worms that doesn't look like stopping anytime soon.
The deal, which former U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta struck with Epstein's attorney, ensured
Epstein only served 13 months in county jail. According to a Miami Herald investigation
, "potential co-conspirators" were granted immunity. Details of the deal were sealed until the
judge approved the deal. Plus, the non-prosecution agreement effectively ended an FBI probe
into "whether there were more victims and other powerful people who took part in Epstein's sex
crimes."
"This is the story of how Epstein, bolstered by unlimited funds and represented by a
powerhouse legal team, was able to manipulate the criminal justice system, and how his
accusers, still traumatized by their pasts, believe they were betrayed by the very prosecutors
who pledged to protect them," the Miami Herald's Julie K. Brown wrote.
Acosta was President Donald Trump's Labor Secretary until he was forced out in disgrace for
his role in cementing the Epstein deal.
At one time or another, Epstein's social circle intersected with former President Bill
Clinton, Prince Andrew, and Trump.
Documents unsealed on Friday contained
allegations from one of Epstein's most well-known accusers, Virginia Giuffre. They implicated
"former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, former U.S. Senator George Mitchell, Hyatt hotels
magnate Tom Pritzker, hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin, the late Massachusetts Institute of
Technology scientist Marvin Minsky, modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, Dershowitz, Prince Andrew,
another unnamed prince, plus 'a well-known Prime Minister.'"
America's criminal punishment system operates with one system for the wealthy and powerful
and one for the underclasses, especially people of color. Elites prevented a wide-ranging probe
but in 2019, the publicity along with the # MeToo -inspired shift in consciousness meant
they were no longer likely to escape accountability.
None of the above proves a conspiracy. However, it should give space to citizens to express
their reservations about what happened until authorities involved in an investigation can
transparently account for Epstein's death.
Some wild speculation which looks like third rate fiction. For example the episode describes as Barr meeting with Clinton looks
like pure fiction: " During the meeting, William Barr, who represented himself as the emissary of then-CIA Director Bill Casey told
Clinton: "The deal we made was to launder our money through your bond business but what we didn't plan on was you and your n****r here
start taking yourselves seriously and purposely shrinking our laundry."
In such talks only two people are present and there are no notes...
But still Wexner emerges as a very strange semi-criminal figure who mingled with some people closely connected to organized crime
and possibly intelligence agencies.
An interesting detail that is mentioned in this article is that Ghislaine Maxwell used to be closely connected with Chelsea Clinton.
Notable quotes:
"... Columbus Dispatch ..."
"... Epstein who orchestrated logistics for Wexner's business operations, including The Limited. As was revealed in the Arthur Shapiro murder file and in ties between SAT and The Limited, much of The Limited's logistics involved figures and companies connected to organized crime and U.S. intelligence. ..."
"... In addition, during this time period, Epstein had already begun to live in the now infamous New York penthouse that had first been purchased by Wexner in 1989.

During that same period of time, Epstein had already forged close ties to important Clinton White House officials and prominent
Clinton donors like Lynn Forester de Rothschild and made several personal visits to the official presidential residence.
Despite the involvement of these CIA-linked men, as well as the organized crime-linked Leslie Wexner, the then-president of SAT
told the Columbus Dispatch that the airline was "no longer connected to the CIA."
Notably, It was during this same time that Epstein exerted substantial control over Wexner's finances; and, according to Fitrakis
and his extensive reporting on Wexner from this period, it was Epstein who orchestrated logistics for Wexner's business operations,
including The Limited. As was revealed in the Arthur Shapiro murder file and in ties between SAT and The Limited, much of The Limited's
logistics involved figures and companies connected to organized crime and U.S. intelligence.
It is also important to note that SAT was well-known for being a CIA front company prior to the efforts of Wexner et al. to bring
the airline to Columbus, and that, a few years prior, Epstein himself had previously worked for intelligence-linked figures also
involved in Iran-Contra, such as Adnan Khashoggi.
In addition, during this time period, Epstein had already begun to live in the now infamous New York penthouse that had first
been purchased by Wexner in 1989. Wexner had apparently installed CCTV and recording equipment in an odd bathroom in the home after
his purchase, and never lived in the home, as was noted in
Part
III of this series.
In an exclusive interview, Bob Fitrakis told MintPress that Epstein and Wexner's involvement with SAT's relocation to Ohio
had caused suspicion among some prominent state and local officials that the two were working with U.S. intelligence.
Fitrakis specifically stated that then-Ohio Inspector General David Strutz and then-Sheriff of Franklin County Earl Smith
had personally told him that they believed that both Epstein and Wexner had ties to the CIA. These claims further corroborate what
was first reported by Nigel Rosser in the Evening Standard that Epstein had claimed to have worked for the CIA in the past.
Fitrakis also told MintPress that Strutz had referred to SAT's route between Hong Kong and Columbus on behalf of Wexner's
company The Limited as "the Meyer Lansky run," as he believed that Wexner's association with SAT was related to his ties to elements
of organized crime that were connected to the Lansky-created National Crime Syndicate. In addition, Catherine Austin Fitts
-- the former investment banker and government official, who has extensively investigated the intersection of organized crime, black
markets, Wall Street and the government in the U.S. economy -- was told by an ex-CIA employee that Wexner was one of five key managers
of organized crime cash flows in the United States.
As this series has noted in previous reports, Meyer Lansky was a pioneer of sexual blackmail operations and was deeply connected
to both U.S. intelligence and Israel's Mossad. Furthermore, many members of the so-called Mega Group, which Wexner co-founded, had
direct ties to the Lansky crime syndicate.
... ... ...
The Israel lobbying effort had considerable help from Mega Group member Michael Steinhardt as well as Abe Foxman of the Anti-Defamation
League (ADL), which was at the time heavily funded by Mega Group members, including Ronald Lauder and Edgar Bronfman.
There has been speculation for years that Clinton's decision to pardon Rich may have been the result of "leverage" or blackmail
that Israel had acquired on the then-president's activities. As was noted in
Part
III of this report, the Mossad-linked "Mega" spy scandal broke in 1997, whereby Israeli intelligence had been targeting Clinton's
effort to broker a peace agreement between Israel and Palestine and had sought to go to "Mega," likely a reference to the Mega Group,
to obtain a sensitive document.
In addition, Israel is known to have acquired phone conversations between Clinton and Monica Lewinsky before their affair was
made public. Author Daniel Halper -- relying on on-the-record interviews with former officials and hundreds of pages of documents
compiled in the event that Lewinsky took legal action against Clinton --
determined that
Benjamin Netanyahu told Clinton that he had obtained recordings of the sexually-tinged phone conversations during the Wye Plantation
talks between Israel and Palestine in 1998. Netanyahu attempted to use this information to get Clinton to pardon convicted Israeli
spy Jonathan Pollard. Clinton considered pardoning Pollard but decided against it after CIA Director George Tenet threatened to resign
if the pardon was given.

A few days ago Vanity
Fair , the same outlet that once attempted to
block the exposé of monster pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, published an article by
Venessa
Grigoriadis that provides some details of Epstein's friend and alleged 'co-conspirator'
Ghislaine Maxwell.
Multiple victims claim that Maxwell often brought girls to Epstein and that she was an
active sexual participant as well. According to Vanity Fair, "a source close to Maxwell says
she spoke glibly and confidently about getting girls to sexually service Epstein, saying this
was simply what he wanted, and describing the way she'd drive around to spas and trailer parks
in Florida to recruit them. She would claim she had a phone job for them, 'and you'll make
lots of money, meet everyone, and I'll change your life .'" Vanity Fair's source added: "When I
asked what she thought of the underage girls, she looked at me and said, 'they're nothing,
these girls. They are trash."
This is gossipy information, but it seems consistent with what we have learned about Epstein
and his ring. Those familiar with Maxwell family history won't be shocked that Maxwell is
quoted calling the girls "trash." Daddy Maxwell plundered
the lifetime pensions of his workers for his own use. He was alleged to be a Mossad agent.
Not many know that Daddy Maxwell was also under police
investigation for war crimes just before he drowned. Metropolitan Detectives were preparing
to interview Maxwell, once a decorated captain in the British army, about an allegation that he
murdered the unarmed mayor of a German City back in 1945.
One may say 'like father like daughter'. But the total dismissal of otherness and human life
is not limited to the Maxwells. Those of us who follow the unfolding Palestinian tragedy are
pretty familiar with the institutional disregard to human life that is symptomatic of Israeli
policy and is supported by its forceful lobby around the world. The saga of disgraceful conduct
on the part of Epstein and others in his orbit suggests that the dismissal of otherness is
characteristic of a wide circuit of those affiliated ideologically, politically and spiritually
with Zion.
During an interview with
Miami news station WPLG Alan Dershowitz not only bashed one of his accusers, calling her an
"admitted prostitute and a serial liar" but claimed that the then-teen was not victimized and
in fact "made her own decisions in life." I am not in a position to determine whether
Dershowitz is guilty of sex crimes (which he denies) but this kind of language is the last
thing you would expect from a retired Ivy League law professor. One wouldn't imagine that a law
'scholar' would refer to an alleged victim of sex trafficking as 'an admitted prostitute.' Nor
would one expect a veteran 'law scholar' to suggest that the child victim of sexual abuse by a
registered sex offender was actually 'making her own decisions in life.' But this is exactly
what we hear from Alan Dershowitz. No doubt one of the most vocal Zionist advocates around.
The disregard of others and the dismissal of human life, symptomatic of the Epstein
Orbit, extends beyond ethnicity, religious barriers and class. Indeed, we read in
various outlets that Leslie Wexner, long standing patron of Epstein, is accused by some of
having some connection to the murder of Arthur Shapiro -- a Jewish lawyer who
was killed in a 1985 'mob-style murder '. Shapiro's doomed soul was resurrected when the
Columbus, Ohio Police released the controversial -- and once believed destroyed -- document
investigating his death. Presumably Shapiro knew too much. And author
Daniel Halper claims that Israel and its operators within American politics have not
refrained from blackmailing even an American president.
According to Halper, Israel attempted to use tapes of former US president Bill Clinton's
steamy sex chats with intern Monica Lewinsky to leverage the release of Jonathan Pollard.
Halper claims that during the Wye Plantation talks between Israel and the Palestinian
Authority, held in Maryland in 1998, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pulled Bill Clinton
aside to press for Pollard's release. "The Israelis present at Wye River had a new tactic for
their negotiations–they'd overheard Clinton and Monica and had it on tape. Not wanting to
directly threaten the powerful American president, a crucial Israeli ally, Clinton was told
that the Israeli government had thrown the tapes away. But the very mention of them was enough
to constitute a form of blackmail," Halper wrote, "according to information provided by a CIA
source, a stricken Clinton appeared to buckle."
This horrific narrative of how Israel allegedly blackmailed an American president
initially surfaced in 1999. In his book
Gideon's Spies , author
Gordon Thomas claimed that the Mossad had collected some 30 hours' worth of phone sex
conversations between Lewinsky and Clinton and was using them to blackmail the US or to protect
a deeply-embedded mole in the White House.
The Clintons have often been referred to in relation to the Epstein affair. It is likely,
that as with the young women Epstein abused, the Clintons and other prominent Americans were
also 'victims' so to say.
I now believe that Epstein was just a player in a huge crime syndicate that often seems
to operate in large parts of American life, its politics, culture, academia and, of course,
finance. In such a vile apparatus Epstein ran an amusement park. He was never 'a financier.' He
specialized in accumulating filth that could be used to extract dollars or other
favours.
In America in 2019 just about every politician at any level except probably Ilhan Omar
and Rashida Talib has been reduced into a Zionist puppet. Every prominent American is subject
to direct or indirect Zionist pressure of one kind or another.
Igor Ogorodnev wrote yesterday on
Russia Today that, "the media has wilfully misinterpreted Donald Trump's words to portray
the most pro-Israel US president in history as an anti-Semite. It makes more sense to chide him
for sacrificing US interests to please Benjamin Netanyahu." Here is my practical advice for
Americans. Instead of accusing Trump of being an 'anti-Semite,' ask instead why your president
is more loyal to Israel than most Israelis, let alone Jews.

Morphonios's podcast
This is another example of "the virtue of hate." These psychotic posers who insist on
improving the world have given themselves carte blanche to perform any evil deed they like
because they believe that their cognitive abilities are superior.
The mentality that calls
for copulating with a wall in Jerusalem also calls for taking the innocence away from
children and young teens. Dershowitz, Epstein, Maxwell, Weinstein, etc., can be sexual
deviants because they are giving the world things like trans-humanism, sodomy, abortion and
usury.
Gilad your idea in 'Nakba II' where you write that the, "Jewish State is making a real
effort to redefine the notion of Jewish 'kindness'" is the most on-point analysis you have
ever written. The "virtue of hate" is why the "Who" wanders. The group that speaks modern
Hebrew as well as the diaspora who seek Eretz Yisrael and Tikkun Olam will eventually destroy
themselves because their 42 volumes of theology is fatally flawed. The hate that they exude
always returns back on them.
Who tried to correct their behavior over 2000 years ago? Who was crucified for telling
them to "love your enemies?"
The Epstein drama has instilled in me substantial doubt about the moral character of U.S. and
Israeli elites which will probably come as no surprise to those reading this post who reached
the same point I'm currently at some years or even decades ago.
Notice that it happened at Wye Plantation. That's Aspen Institute's East Coast satellite
office. And as any minimally sentient pongid knows, Aspen is CIA. Is anybody dumb enough to
think CIA didn't know exactly what transpired? Staging the blackmail threat at a famous CIA
front is what you call messaging. The message is, We Know, Too.

What we always see since inception of the CIA regime is that they keep their puppet rulers
under tight control. Of course they use foreign intelligence assets to lower the boom. That
gives CIA operational control protected by eyes-only intelligence liaison agreements, which
are "compacts" judicially deemed* beyond the treaty-making powers of Congress.
We have two criminal enterprises: the USG and the Jewish State. Reasonable people can
differ about which is the henchman and which is the mastermind. But the crimes, in this case
VIP kompromat, are indisputably collaborative efforts. Elected officials in the USA are
puppets. But not Zionist puppets. They are puppets of Mossad and CIA.
Purging all the bad Jew apples won't do you any good. The Mormons or the Family or some
other cult will take over, and you'll be just as fucked. Your problem is CIA impunity. Fix
that. Lock up some criminal spooks. They'll sing like John McCain in VC hands and you'll be
free.
/Those of us who follow the unfolding Palestinian tragedy are pretty familiar with the
institutional disregard to human life that is symptomatic of Israeli policy and is supported

Micocosms of that disregard appear regularly among the zionazis that slum about this
venue.
Here's a good example of it in your previous article's discussion thread:
Ah, you guys lost war after war. Had you won we would be gone. We won you are gone. Look
India just took over Kashmir. The Palestinians are losers, losers do not get to dictate the
right of who lives there and who doesn't
Robert Maxwell only won the George Medal, which is not for bravery in combat.
The disregard of others and the dismissal of human life, symptomatic of the Epstein
Orbit, extends beyond ethnicity, religious barriers and class.
That is very true, but there was something that made Epstein a predator of his fellow
Jews. Possibly because he hated the low social status in the Jewish community that his father
job as a city groundsman relegated the family to. In fact the father of Roberts/Giuffre had a
similar, but rather better job than Epstein's father.
I understand what you are saying (because I have heard it so often) but I have a
much different view of the CIA.
I truly believe the CIA is a tool of statecraft, no different in its own way, than the
marines or the special forces. If the CIA is guilty of doing lots of nasty stuff (which it is), it is only because it has
been instructed to do so .by the powers that be.
If you stop to think about it, it makes no sense, whatsoever, for the CIA to be allowed to
act in an autonomous fashion. It does act with shadowy impunity, but the instructions for its all its "shadowy misdeeds"
come from above. If you want to blame the CIA for all the dirty things it does, it is , in my perspective,
a lot like blaming the "9 mm with silencer" for all the people it kills.
To find the real culprit, look to the hand that pulls its trigger.
These are a lot of people on this site who seem quite normal until you mention the CIA then
their schizophrenia spectrum disorder becomes salient.
To find the real culprit, look to the hand that pulls its trigger.
The real culprit is the real world , which forces every country into subversion and
military menacing against every other country, forming alliances with them only to better
subvert and wage war on other alliances.
Comedian Bill Hicks explains the newly elected President's first day:
I have this feeling man, 'cause you know, it's just a handful of people who run
everything, you know, that's true, it's provable. It's not -- I'm not a fucking conspiracy
nut, it's provable. A handful, a very small elite, run and own these corporations, which
include the mainstream media.
I have this feeling that whoever is elected president, like Clinton was, no matter what
you promise on the campaign trail -- blah, blah, blah -- when you win, you go into this
smoke-filled room with the twelve industrialist capitalist scum-fucks who got you in there.
And you're in this smoky room, and this little film screen comes down, and a big guy with a
cigar goes, "Roll the film."
And it's a shot of the Kennedy assassination from an angle you've never seen before that
looks suspiciously like it's from the grassy knoll. And then the screen goes up and the
lights come up, and they go to the new president, "Any questions?"
As if Clinton did not prey on vulnerable and impressionable young Jewish girls. Or Hugh
Hefner. Or Larry Flynt.
The core difference is that there are less of them.
If a creepy older Gentile couple went into some poor Jewish borough in New York City that
was the equivalent of a trailer park, they would have any success getting 14 year old Jewish
girls to come stampeding out for $300.
There are not many Jewish girls roaming the roads of Miami at 1 am on drugs in rich
neighborhoods (What were these girls doing in a wealthy neighborhood even before they met
Epstein? What were they planning to do there?).
Where were these girls' parents? Why are Jewish girls better insulated? Is this a Zion
conspiracy?
Don't get me wrong. The world is full of trashy Jewish young women like Lewinsky or even
middle-aged ones like Sarah Silverman who will do anything with any Gentile who will advance
their careers. Porn has always been loaded with working-class Jewish girls.
But these are young women over 21 who have made a decision. Not kids.
So how are Jews protecting their children?
Why aren't Jewish girls pouring out trailer parks willing to do anything for $300?
In America in 2019 just about every politician at any level except probably Ilhan Omar
and Rashida Talib has been reduced into a Zionist puppet.
It is virtually impossible to think of any country, powerful or weak, wealthy or poor that
exercises such complete control over any other country, powerful or weak, rich or poor as
Zionist Israel does over our country, the US of A. To top it all, discussion on the issue of
liberation from this suffocating control and what in effect is annexation, has not even begun
because the gagging that prevents it reflects the complete level that such control has
achieved. It is a phenomenon that defies all logic. Anything short of a second war of
independence, will not move this country closer to the company of free and sovereign nations
of which, to be honest, are few and far between.
Do any of these revelations surprise you anymore, Gilad? The Ghislaine Maxwell statement,
"they're nothing, these girls. They're trash."? The Dersh comments calling a woman who was
abused as a child "admitted prostitute and serial liar" who was "making her own decisions in
life" when she was abused at age 15? Does any of it surprise you?
These people are informed, inculcated, immersed in this culture, thought, worldview:
Yossi Gurvitz: "The worst case, in my opinion, is the case of Maimonides, who decrees
– first of all, he decrees that it is permissible to have sexual relations with a
three-year-old girl. The age of consent is problematic. And second of all he decrees that if
a Jew rapes a three-year-old non-Jewish girl, then she must be executed. Her, not him –
because she tempted him to sin. And for this reason you have to treat her like an animal that
put obstacles in a person's way, and he quotes some verse about a bull or something like
that."
One of the most fascinating aspect of Jewish culture and ID politics is the contradictory
mixture of arrogance and sense of grandeur together with shameless victimhood. If this
discrepancy could be fixed, Zionism would have prevailed in making the Jews 'ppl like all
other ppl' as it vowed initially

alleged use of sexual blackmail by spy agencies is hardly unique to the case of Jeffrey Epstein. Although the
agencies involved as well as their alleged motivations and methods differ with each case, the crime of child
trafficking with ties to intelligence agencies or those protected by them has been around for decades.
Some cases include the
1950s -1970s Kincora scandal and the 1981 Peter Hayman affair, both in the U.K.; and the Finders' cult and the
Franklin scandal in the U.S. in the late 1980s. Just as these cases did not end in convictions, the pedophile and
accused child-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein remained at arms' length for years.
"For almost two decades,
for some nebulous reason, whether to do with ties to foreign intelligence, his billions of dollars, or his social
connections, Epstein, whose alleged sexual sickness and horrific assaults on women without means or ability to
protect themselves remained untouchable," journalist Vicky Ward wrote in
The Daily Beast
in July.
The protection of sex
traffickers by intelligence agencies is especially interesting in the wake of Epstein's
death
. Like
others, Epstein had long been
purported to have links
with spy agencies. Such allegations documented by Whitney Webb in her multi-part
series were recently published in
Mintpress News
.
Webb states that Epstein
was the current face of an extensive system of abuse with ties to both organized crime and intelligence interests.
She told
CNLive!
that:
"According to Nigel Rosser, a British journalist who wrote in the
Evening Standard
in 2001, Epstein
apparently for much of the 1990s claimed that he used to work for the CIA."
Vicky Ward
,
who wrote on Epstein for
Vanity Fair
before his first arrest, and
claimed
the magazine killed one of her pieces after Epstein intervened
with editor Graydon Carter, said in a Tweet that one of Epstein's clients was Adnan Khashoggi, an
arms dealer
who was pivotal in the Iran Contra scandal and was on the Mossad (the Israeli intelligence agency) payroll. This was
also noted in a book "By Way of Deception" by former Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky.
The
Times of
Israel
reported that Epstein was an "active business partner with former prime minister Ehud Barak"
until 2015, adding: "Barak formed a limited partnership company in Israel in 2015, called Sum (E.B.) to invest in a
high-tech startup . A large part of the money used by Sum to buy the start-up stock was supplied by Epstein."
Webb wrote he "was a
long-time friend of Barak, who has long-standing and deep ties to Israel's intelligence community." On the board of
their company
sat
Pinchas Bukhris, a former commander of the IDF cyber unit 8200.
Epstein's allegedly
protected status was revealed by Alexander Acosta, the former U.S. attorney in Miami who gave Epstein an infamously
lenient plea deal in 2007. Acosta, who was forced to resign as President Donald Trump's labor secretary because of
that deal,
reportedly
said of the case: "I was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to leave it alone."
Alexander Acosta: "Told to leave it alone."

Kincora Boy's Home
Several cases in the
unsavory history linking intelligence agencies and sex scandals put the allegations against Epstein in context. Among
these was the U.K. Kincora Boy's Home, where
a
t
least 29
boys were reported to have been targeted at the Belfast, Northern Ireland, facility from the
mid-1950s until the late 1970s, until it was shut in 1980. It also involved the
alleged
protection of child sexual
abusers at the home and among their clients.
The Irish Times
wrote that "destitute boys were systematically sodomised by members of Kincora staff and were supplied for abuse to
prominent figures in unionist politics. The abusers – among them MPs, councillors, leading Orangemen and other
influential individuals – became potentially important intelligence assets."
The Belfast Telegraph
also quoted former Labour Party MP Ken Livingstone, who said: "MI5 weren't just aware of child abuse at Kincora Boys'
Home – they were monitoring it. They were getting pictures of a judge in one case, politicians, a lot of the
establishment of Northern Ireland going in and abusing these boys."
Three staff were eventually
convicted of sexually abusing minors, which included the housemaster William McGrath, a loyalist "Orangeman" and
allegedly an MI5 agent, according to the
Belfast Telegraph
in July 2014.

Although the U.K.'s
Historical Institutional Abuse inquiry ultimately found
"
no
credible evidence
"
to support the allegations, two former U.K. intelligence officers maintained their
claim of MI5's involvement:
Brian Gemmell
says he alerted MI5 to the abuse at Kincora and was told
to stop his investigation; and a former army intelligence officer, Colin Wallace, "consistently claimed that MI5, RUC
special branch and military intelligence knew about the abuse at Kincora and used it to blackmail the pedophile ring
to spy on hardline loyalists," according to
The Guardian
.
The Irish outlet,
An Phoblacht
,
wrote: "The systematic abuse of young boys in the Home and the part played by the British intelligence
organisations to keep the scandal under wraps ensured that one side of the murky world of Unionist paramilitarism and
its links to the crown forces was kept out of the public domain for years."
In the U.S., the New York
State Select Committee On Crime in 1982
investigated nationwide networks of trafficking underage
sex workers and producing child pornography. Dale Smith, a committee investigator, noted that call services using
minors also profited from "sidelines," besides the income from peddling prostitution. Smith
said they sold
information "on the sexual proclivities of the clients
to agents of foreign intelligence." Presumably, this information could be used to blackmail those in positions of
power. Smith added that one call service sold information to "British and Israeli intelligence."
The Hayman Affair

Another U.K. scandal
included allegations that
Sir Peter Hayman
, a British diplomat and
deputy director of MI6, was a member of the Pedophile Information Exchange (PIE).
Police discovered that two
of the roughly dozen pedophiles in his circle had been writing to each other about their interest in "the extreme
sexual torture and murder of children," according to the
The Daily Mail
.
In 2015,
The Guardian
reported that former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher had been "adamant that officials should not publicly name"
Hayman, "even after she had been fully briefed on his activities .formerly secret papers released to the National
Archives shows."
Still, Hayman was
unmasked
as a subscriber to PIE in 1981 by M.P. Geoffrey Dickens, who
also reportedly
raised
the
national security risk of Hayman's proclivities, implying they were a potential source of blackmail sought by
intelligence agencies.
The British tabloid
The
Mirror
reported that
intelligence agencies, including the KGB and CIA, kept their own dossiers on U.K. establishment figures involved with
PIE and the abuse of minors, to blackmail the targets in exchange for information.
Hayman was
never charged
for his association with PIE: The U.K. attorney general
at the time, Sir Michael Havers,
defended
the decision and
denied claims
that Heyman was given special treatment.
Labour Party MP Barbara
Castle allegedly gave a dossier she compiled on pedophiles in positions of power to U.K. journalist Don Hale in 1984
when he was editor of the
Brury Messenger
. Hale
alleged
that soon afterward, police from
the "Special Branch, the division responsible for matters of national security," raided his office and removed the
Castle dossier. They then threatened him with a "D-notice," which prevented him from publishing the story on the
threat of up to 10 years in prison.
The Finders Cult
Another group accused of
trafficking children, which had links to intelligence agencies, was the "Finders" cult. In 1987,
The
Washington Post
reported that two members were arrested in connection with the alleged abuse of six
children. Investigators found materials in Madison County, Virginia, which they said linked to a "commune called the
Finders."

Besides nude photographs of
children, a Customs Service memo written by special agent Ramon Martinez refers to files "relating to the activities
of the organization in different parts of the world, including "London, Germany, the Bahamas, Japan, Hong Kong,
Malaysia, Africa, Costa Rica, and Europe."
Martinez's memo notes that
a Finders' telex ordered the purchase of two children in Hong Kong. Another expressed interest in "bank secrecy
situations." The memo also documents high-tech transfers to the U.K., numerous properties under the Finders' control,
the group's interest in terrorism, explosives, and the evasion of law enforcement.
Martinez describes the
swift end to his investigation. He wrote that on April 12, 1987, he arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department and
was told that all the data was turned over to the State Department which, in turn, advised MPD that "all travel and
use of passports by the holders was within the law and no action would be taken. Then he was told that the
investigation into the Finders had become a CIA internal matter. The MPD report was classified, not available for
review" and "No further action will be taken."
Martinez was not the only
person with unanswered questions. The
U.S.News & World Report
wrote that N. Carolina Rep. Charlie Rose (Dem.), chair of the House
Administration Committee, and Florida's Rep. Tom Lewis (Rep.) asked "Could our own government have something to do
with this Finders organization and turned their backs on these children? That's what the evidence points to," says
Lewis, adding that "I can tell you that we've got a lot of people scrambling, and that wouldn't be happening if there
was nothing here."
The leniency shown by the
State Department and the fact that the CIA would designate the investigation of the Finders group as "an internal
matter" raises serious questions. What motive might have driven the CIA to associate with or protect a child abuse
ring?

The Franklin
Scandal
The Franklin Scandal
erupted in 1988, centering on a child-trafficking ring operating in Omaha, Nebraska, by
Lawrence E. King
Jr.
,
a former vice chairman of the National Black Republican Council: It was alleged that children were
provided to politicians in Washington, D.C., and elsewhere, among other illegal activities.
The late former state Sen.
John Decamp alleged in his book "The Franklin Coverup" that a special committee of the Nebraska Legislature launched
a probe to investigate the affair, which involved King being indicted for embezzling money from the Franklin Credit
Union. The committee hired former Lincoln, Nebraska, police officer Jerry Lowe, whose reports suggested that King
was involved in "guns and money transfers to Nicaragua," and was linked with the CIA.
James Flanery, an
investigative reporter at
The World Herald
who reported on the scandal, told associates that King was
"running guns and money into Nicaragua," and that the CIA was heavily involved."
Like many
scandals
before and since, the Franklin case ended with
no prosecution
of the perpetrators. However, Paul Bonacci, one of the
alleged victims, was indicted for perjury. He had alleged that he was sexually abused as a minor in Nebraska and
around the country where he was flown by Lawrence King.
In 1999, the
Omaha World Herald
reported Bonacci was awarded $1 million in damages due to his lawsuit against King and other alleged perpetrators.
Decamp, who was Bonacci's attorney, told the newspaper "Obviously, you don't award $1 million if you don't think he
(Bonacci) was telling the truth."
Given the history of child
trafficking rings that were allegedly connected with or enjoyed the protection of intelligence services, it is
possible that similar claims about Jeffrey Epstein are something the authorities, though unlikely given these other
instances, should investigate.

I will never clap for another politician as long as I live. Not a single politician has stood up for
Epstein's child rape victims and Alexander Acosta's excuse to defend Epstein's victims confirms that
our criminal justice system turns the other way for pedophiles or anyone as long as they have lots of
money or power. Meanwhile, our own government spies on law-abiding citizens.

Fine article.
Given that "intelligence" agencies with no functional oversight and regularly involved in black ops
use these things, and that a fresh use surfaces every few years, it seems parsimonious to conclude
that they are a regular part of some subsection of intelligence community and, by extension,
government operation. It makes little sense that this sort of of business is forever starting and
stopping: that would be difficult to do.
Given that neither of the two major US parties have shown any interest in pursuing such
connections, it seems clear that neither see any political advantage in pursuing it. A parsimonious
conclusion is that at least some powerful members of media and both parties are involved, and that the
connections are enough of an open secret that people know not to pursue it.
By extension, do we avoid the conclusion that this is in some way a mafia-run government?

Sexual trafficking of women
and children is probably the century's
greatest
assault on girls and young women outside of Boko Haram's
rampages
and the crimes of the Islamic State against the Yazidis. In
terms
of sheer numbers, it exceeds those atrocities. High among the
malefactors
is the Epstein-Maxwell operation. Its foul activities went
on
for 25 years. It was known to law enforcement authorities for most
of
that time. The sole legal action taken was the one count lodged
against
Jeffrey Epstein in 2006 for "soliciting a minor." With the connivance of the highest authorities in Washington, it
was a genteel house
arrest
that was a mockery of supposed punishment.
U.S. lawmakers speak in support of End Demand
for Sex Trafficking Act, 2005. (Wikimedia Commons)
The most grotesque aspect
of this sinister criminal ring was the
knowing
participation of dozens of members of the highest echelons of
the
American elite – possibly including two occupants of the White
House.
Rape – both statutory and violent – was the order of the day.
So,
too, involuntary confinement, extortion, blackmail, intimidation
and
god knows what other heinous crimes.
Yet, the protests and cries
for punishment from our self-styled
militants
for women's rights have been muted – to understate things. A
brief
flurry of ritual shock in the weeks immediately after Epstein's
arrest
is all. Such condemnation as we heard or read placed the entire
affair
in the wadding of a general critique of the abuses carried out
by
privileged men since 1776. Now, just the usual titillation about
the
deplorable condition of Epstein's jail cell and tidbits about Lady
Ghislaine
– the socialite super madame.
Stunning
Discrepancy
Compare this soft murmuring
with the hell raised by so many about
garden
variety sexual harassment ascribed to public personalities. Al
Franken
driven out of the Senate. Garrison Keillor cast into the
wilderness
by NPR. Etc., etc. No rape, no violence -- an uninvited hand
on
the bare back of a decade-long acquaintance in the latter instance.
The
discrepancy is stunning.
We comb the news waiting to
hear of the reception held by Elizabeth
Drew
and U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi in the former's swank Manhattan apartment to
console
and honor the victims. We wait breathlessly for a special
issue
of MSM exposing who was involved and what happened. We imagine
deputations
flooding the Capitol to insist on a swift, no-holds-barred
investigation.
We peer into the gloom for Hillary bearing the torch
of
women's emancipation. We anticipate
The New York Times'
mea culpa
as
to why they ignored the story for a quarter century. Perhaps #MeToo
could
sponsor a benefit concert in Central Park to raise funds for the
hapless
victims from around the world. After all, these odious crimes
occurred
on American soil, committed almost exclusively by Americans.
The
Clinton Foundation would be the logical place to ask for financial
support.
There is an ancient Crusader saying: "first the feast, then
the
morals."
We comb the news.
Mirages all. Isn't
happening; won't happen
But why? The mind searches
for explanations. Were the professional
enforcers
of strict no-harassment codes who police the nation seeking
out
evidence of stray male hands – especially if the women are
well-educated,
upper middle class and live in safe neighborhoods – on
vacation?
Or did they repress knowledge of friends who likely were
implicated
in the Epstein-Maxwell crimes? Did they find intolerable
the
idea that some of their favorites among the high and mighty are
despicable
low-lifes? Is the fact that the chief operational officer
of
the criminal enterprise was a woman inhibiting of incisive
responses?
Let's also bear in mind
that taking on the power elites (Epstein/Maxwell/ clients – maybe the CIA/Mossad) would indeed be ahard and dangerous
business. By contrast, a Frankel or Keillor is a soft target. Those guys and their like are sensitive to their
self-image
and are not born fighters – moreover, their bosses have
long
practiced the art of the preemptive cringe.
Or, is it due to a core
ambivalence that touches deep sensitivities
about
the myths we live by – held by men as well as women? Is it
simply
unpalatable that numerous of the elites who rule us – we
America,
the last best hope of humankind – and whom we admire are in
fact
among the scum of the earth?

that it is "better to nurse a delicious FANCY
Than
GAG ON TRUTH."
Powers of Sublimation

famous "women's rights are human rights" 1995 speech in Beijing.

Finally, let's never
underestimate the powers of sublimation in
contemporary
America. When facilitated by a lax media, and encouraged
by
self-serving politicos, there seem to be no limits to their
capacity
for self-censorship. Consider the most recent example of President Donald Trump's sexual abuses: E. Jean Carroll's
highly graphic and persuasive
description
of Trump's assault on her
in Bergdorf's. It
survived
little more than one or two news cycles.
Consider this, too, re.
Epstein:
The New Yorker
gave us this bold
cover
story about the defense of Alan Dershowitz
the notorious legal
defender of unsavory types who was an
Epstein
attorney and who has been identified by at least one of
Epstein's
accusers as a participant in statutory rape. If you are
having
difficulty figuring out why the rush to provide him with
several
thousand words for self-justification and self-promotion, then
I
have a not-so-green island to sell you.
I personally have no
hypotheses to offer in way of explanation. The
silence
of the arch 'feminist' militants is a mystery to me.

Michael,
Women don't deserve "mild" unwanted touching either. I hope maybe next time, that part of
your article could be set aside. Also, I feel that your use of the term "arch "feminist" militants" is
a mistake. I think you are asking a good question but this article seems more like a pejorative swipe
at feminists than an actual inquiry when you use that phrase.
To answer your question plainly– women are neither worse nor better than men. As you must know, the
movement for racial equality in the 60s was full of incredible sexism and cruelty by revolutionary men
towards their sisters in the movement. Stokely Carmichael stated: 'the only position for women in SNCC
is prone." MLK had some real problems with women. In other words, these men were hypocrites. They were
both good and bad. Most movements for social change are filled with hypocrisy. There is freedom for
some but not for all. This is shameful and I believe it is why revolutions never achieve their aim.
Freedom must be for every person, not just one's chosen "worthy" group.
Women in the feminist movement also act shamefully when they fail to support justice for every
abuse victim. Notice that you have difficulty criticizing Keiller (who also supports torture) and
Franken because you like them. You are willing to minimize their actions because their politics and
person meet your approval. This is what Democratic women are doing and have done when confronted by
the victims of Bill and Hillary Clinton. Many Democratic women like this couple. They agree with their
politics and they are willing to ignore wrongdoing by them because of that fact.
Your piece in a very real way, answers your own question. People won't see injustice in those whom
they like. It's easier to pass it on by or minimize it. This is exactly the attitude we must all
challenge inside ourselves. Until we do, until we are willing to admit to wrongdoing by those whom we
like and agree with, abuse will continue.
Right, left or center– wrong is wrong. The abuse of women, men and children cannot be tolerated.

The arrest of Jeffrey Epstein was an opportunity for all Americans to have a good look at themselves
but it did not last long. Someone, some intelligence agency decided that it was too painful to expose
the higher ups and it will do to show the world the corruption involved in the whole affair .So
Epstein
is now gone. The whole sordid affair is no more .No more to be said .Move on folks ,what was the score

Professor Brenner is a quick study, noticing the dog that didn't bark. Others have pointed out that
MeToo might not even be a dog (a well-trained poodle at best) but I am concerned that all these
extralegal groups might be part of a more insidious strategy: destroying the rule of law and the
protections it provides.
MeToo overturns the presumption of innocence making one guilty until proven
innocent, inciting mob rule.
Antifa legitimizes force as speech, just what the fascists want.
Counterprotests seek to restrict freedom of speech when the worst thing the speakers can do for
their cause is express their views.
Intelligence and law enforcement are always infiltrating organisations seeking social change
through legal means. In Britain an undercover policeman even married an organizer in the course of his
duties. (a Stasi trick although one presumes the tactic is timeless).
A possible scenario: one or more of Trump's strategies implodes causing civil unrest. Heavy-handed
response leads to full-blown riots. Americans do what they are supposed to and elect Biden whose
advancing dementia only makes things worse. Cities burn. Martial law is declared. Prison labour builds
walls paid for by Mexico and Canada (Seriously. We don't want millions of self-righteous refugees
blithering cluelessly about Thoreau's Civil Disobedience. Had enough of that during the Vietnam war.
And the Chinese and Indians won't stand for hordes of white, black and latino people diluting their
influence).
Good luck!

It looks for all the world that Epstein was basically pimping for the elitist of the insider elites
throughout the capitalist universe. Sex trafficking has always been a big money-maker, even amongst
street people, common reprobates and the clergy. The rich and powerful have fixers like Epstein to
take care of all their nasty business. Does anyone think that muckety-mucks in high finance, the media
monopoly, law enforcement, the courts, the highest levels of government and even some prominent female
rainmakers may not have been among the beneficiaries of this service industry?
It doesn't surprise me one bit that those who were saved by Epstain's demise would exercise their
power and influence to make sure things were quickly "resolved" and the public calmed. The tried and
true remedy has always been for the media to simply change the subject. There is certainly no way they
are pinning this one on Putin, so it will quickly be forgotten and lost down the memory hole. They
don't even need to put on a charade about reforming the system because the relevant laws are already
on the books. The real reform will be that Epstain's replacement will make sure that no future service
providers ever live long enough to file any legal complaints.
'Boko Haram's rampages and the crimes of the Islamic State against the
Yazidis'.
Aren't both products of the US. Second, surely a choice of just one American we'll-bring-you-democracy
action over the last 20 years is far worse than Boko Haram? Indications to date are Epstein has been
'protected' by Rep and Dem since the early 80s, if not before.

Thanks for posting on this.
Well, I'm actually not surprised–I always had the sense that the whole
"MeToo" movement was controlled behind the scenes. Seems like it was quite useful when Kavanaugh was
nominated for the Supreme Court (and I'm not a supporter of him–he's a Bushy and I'm pretty sure he
had something to do with that Patriot Act), and Allyssa Milano was ready to go in telling us "we must
believe all women" with regard to Dr. Chrissy Fraud and Julie Swetnick.
But they are interestingly
quiet right now about the whole Epstein saga, and of course, there were no signs of support on the
Friday before Epstein's supposed death, when there was a document drop, which indicated his victims
named George Mitchell (D) and Bill Richardson (D) as men they were forced to have sex with. I think
they may have issued a quick denial and then the MSM quickly moved away from it,never to be heard of
again.

Thanks to CN and Michael Brenner for maintaining attention on this extremely important topic. And
while the #MeToo people are an understandable focus, the silence is deafening across the board. The
politicians are all silent. The major news figures are silent. It's as if nobody had pulled back the
curtain on the sociopaths who rule our society.
For convenience in posting to other sites, here is a
link to the stunning CN interview with Whitney Webb on the Epstein case and its MANY ramifications.

Also, here is a series of in-depth reports on how the prosecution of Epstein was blocked by

Just an idea --
A considerable factor in the Epstein case is not his individual perversity or crimes,
but hierarchy and corruption, not just the corruption of the sexuality but the use of the sexuality in
cementing, rewarding, and coercing corruption.
Perhaps not everyone who is concerned about sexual abuse is concerned about corruption and
hierarchy in general. Perhaps not everyone concerned about sexual abuse even considers that hierarchy,
with all its corruptions, is so much as unnecessary. For such people, the fact or apparent fact that
Epstein is dead resolves matters insofar as they might be resolved–with all the hierarchy and its
corruption in place, whatever such people may think of all that.
There is no way that Epstein could have had the type of business that he is widely regarded as
having had without the extensive and ongoing involvement of both major political parties and major
media entities.
So there will be no extensive and authentic push for investigation by Democrats, Republicans, or
the push-style mass media that are allied to them. There is not likely to be a lot of investigation by
foreign entities because those not allied with the above positions mostly do not find corruption in
the United States to be news.
It seems that some who concern themselves with hierarchy might be principally concerned not with
reducing hierarchy, but with changing which personnel or which demographics are favored.
It is a sad thing to recognize that one has fewer allies than one imagined. But it seems that for
very many of us, the discoveries of the last few years have all been in this direction.

The same corporate media behind the muted outrage response to the trafficking of girls and the anodyne
narrative of Epstein's death just spent more than two years trying to convince the world that it was
the Russians, not the fossilized Electoral College, that put Donald Trump into the Whitehouse based
soley on rumor, suggestion, inference and accusations from well known liars and frauds
The same who brought us
non existent WMDs in Iraq and moderate rebels and White Helmet rescuers in Syria, just to name a few
more recent state sponsored fabrications. Justice and truth don't factor into the agenda of the swine
who run our plutocracy.
I believe this horror story will be papered over, many accusers and
collaborators will meet the same fate as Karen Silkwood and the think tanks and mainstream media
talking heads will continue to bandy about the conspiracy theory trope while continuing to endorse the
official false claims of the political establishment.
Gilad Atzmon's critique is far more substantive and more interesting, in part because he doesn't stoop
to blaming class or feminists for the "missing howls of outrage" and "dearth of MeToo denunciations".
"Not Just Weinstein: The Year #MeToo Rocked and Shocked the Jewish World" was the title of a 2018
Haaretz article that reviewed the large number of Jews involved in sex scandals that year. "Over the
past year," Haartez wrote, "a high number of powerful Jewish men have been accused of sexual
misconduct. While it has provided fodder for anti-Semites, activists say addressing the problem is
vital."
Haaretz listed some of the prominent Jewish men accused of predatory sexual behaviour. "In addition
to (Harvey) Weinstein and (Leon) Wieseltier, the list of Jewish men implicated in #MeToo over the past
12 months includes former Democratic senator Al Franken; ousted CBS chief Les Moonves; actors Dustin
Hoffman, Jeffrey Tambor and Jeremy Piven; directors Woody Allen, James Toback and Brett Ratner;
playwright Israel Horowitz; journalists Mark Halperin and Michael Oreskes; conductor James Levine; and
radio show hosts Leonard Lopate and Jonathan Schwartz."
Apparently someone decided to 'clean the swamp'. Harvey Weinstein was just an early bird. In 2018
we also learned about the Nxivm sex cult and the role of Clare Bronfman at its centre. The Jewish
Forward wrote that Nxivm's leader attracted "several prominent figures to his group, including heiress
Clare Bronfman, who pleaded guilty in April to credit card fraud and harbouring an undocumented
immigrant who provided unpaid "labor and services."
Bronfman is the daughter of the legendary ultra
Zionist billionaire Edgar Bronfman (1929 –2013) who was president of the World Jewish Congress. In his
obituary, Edgar Bronfman was described by Haaretz as "prince of the Jews." His daughter has been
ordered to pay a penalty of $6 million out of her $200 million fortune, and she faces up to two years
in prison.
When it seemed the Jewish universe couldn't cope with any more scandals involving predatory sexual
behaviour, the Epstein affair resurfaced. The Jeffrey Epstein spectacle is one of the biggest of its
kind in the history of America ensnaring presidents and prime ministers. Some of the world's most
influential men in cultural, financial and academic fields are allegedly implicated in predatory
behaviour with underage girls. And it doesn't take a genius to observe that the Epstein drama is,
unfortunately, a 'Jewish drama.'
Bloomberg, not exactly an 'anti-Semitic' outlet, dug into The Complicated Orbit of Jeffrey Epstein.
Zionist enthusiast Leslie Wexner was identified as Epstein's 'patron'. The Jewish virtual library
informs us that Wexner "often support[s] .. Jewish projects. He serves as Honorary Vice Chairman of
the Board of Congregation Aguda Achim [And] established the Wexner Foundation, which runs both a
Graduate Fellowship and an Israel Fellowship Program."
Bloomberg lists the following as amongst Epstein's 'business partners': Harvey Weinstein, Mort
Zuckerman, Donny Deutsch, Nelson Peltz, Ehud Barak and Ponzi aficionado Steven Hoffenberg.
Ghislaine Maxwell, the daughter of notorious Zionist pension plunderer Robert Maxwell, is described
by Bloomberg as Epstein's 'Inner Circle.' And then there is Alan Dershowitz who has been labouring
tirelessly to try to convince the American media and anyone else willing to listen that he didn't have
sex with underage girls.
Again I find myself admitting that the list of Jewish names surrounding an unsavoury character,
this time Epstein, resembles my Bar Mitzvah's guest list: a lot of Jewish names with just a few goyim
at the margin.
This raises critical questions, the most elementary of which is, why? Why are so many Jewish men
currently in the news in connection with sexually predatory behaviour? What is it about these rich and
influential people that pushes them over the edge?
And there are deeper questions that beg attention. Why is it that with so many Jews in academia and
media ordinarily so clever in explaining in a 'professorial manner' the psychology and sociology
behind every world development and political shift, not one has volunteered to explain the cultural,
ideological and spiritual continuum between Weinstein and Epstein and beyond? How is it that the
academics and think tanks that are so adept in analysing 'cultural clashes' and, as they call it,
'Islamofascism,' are unwilling to analyse the roots of the cultural crisis at the core of the Epstein
saga?
And I must extend this inquiry just one step further, why does the Jewish solidarity industry
that cares so much for Palestine, Immigrants, the Civil Rights Movement and LGBT issues remain silent
when it comes to the crimes committed, and on a mass scale, against underage girls just a few blocks
from JVP's New York headquarters?

Uh, wait just a minute.
Good post up until this:
"why does the Jewish solidarity industry that cares so much for
[1]Palestine, [2]Immigrants, the [3]Civil Rights Movement and [4]LGBT issues remain silent when it
comes to the crimes committed, and on a mass scale, against underage girls just a few blocks from
JVP's New York headquarters?"
Quick IQ test: of the four issues named, which one does not belong?
Yep, number 1.
These other groups are not known for their vocal or otherwise support of Palestine or, more
precisely, the civil, political, property, and human rights of Palestinians.
This sentence sure looks like a misdirection game. Unless "cares for Palestine" actually is
meant to mean, "cares for fighting indigenous rights in Palestine."

This is all pretty stupid. #metoo was about people with legitimate complaints being ignored. 'Howls of
outrage' were appropriate to get the needed attention. The Epstein business is hardly being ignored
and involves so many bigwigs that its ramifications and effects are only beginning to be known. Cops,
lawyers, journalists, and conspiracy theorists are on the case. So what are you all, including the
author, talking about at such length?

In response to Anarcisse, all I can do is tell her to reread the article.
Why isn't #MeToo using
its political and PR muscle to keep the pressure on Bill Barr to conduct a genuine investigation,
which would include interrogating a number of big-wigs and also, Primus inter pares, Ghislaine
Maxwell?
Until we see Maxwell subpoena'd and compelled to appear for questioning, we in the media peanut
gallery will continue to assume that no serious investigation is to be espied in our crystal balls.
Re "Cops, lawyers, journalists, and conspiracy theorists are on the case. So what are you all,
including the author, talking about at such length?"
This sounds a bit trollish (and sarcastic) to me, in particular the grouping "cops, lawyers,
journalists and conspiracy theorists."
What we actually need is a wide-ranging and deep-delving investigation by the DOJ or by Congress.
We need to get to the bottom of Epstein's ties to various intelligence communities. We need see
chapter and verse as to how the sex trafficking interfaced with intelligence work. We need to know
what is hidden under concrete at Little Saint James Island. Among other things. A genuine
investigation, or multiple investigations, might allow the "ct" phrase to be retired in connection
with this complex of crimes as it would uncover genuine evidence. Failing such a genuine
investigation it can be inferred that evidence is being destroyed and/or suppressed and/or not
developed (e.g., via under-oath questioning).
It is decidedly odd that Anarcisse thinks that "the case" can be adequately pursued by the four
groups she names. "Cops"?

Unfortunately, of fortunately for some, William "Bill" Barr was involved in Iran-Contra and the
Reagan/Bush Administration's dirty wars that not only illegally funded our death squads in
Central America but also imported cocaine and promoted crack. As a side benefit, they also
captured and trafficked in kids from the region, so anyone counting on him will be sadly
disappointed.
Thank you for this. It's insane that the average person is not screaming for justice and for the
disbanding of sex trafficking rings and the jailing of those participating and running them. Simply
insane. And now, a woman who was going to Washington DC to testify against traffickers has
'disappeared'. I can't even find her disappearance, although reported by friends on social media, in
the news at all. Isn't that interesting?

"Target" is the word. Franken was clearly an attempt by the Democratic leadership to push the party
farther to the right. Better to have someone in the Senate to vote for wars and ignore social issues.
This cleansing, on the surface, looked like a right-wing attack on Franken, check out the
"complainants". But who did the DNC back during the primaries?
All sorts of veterans of the
military-industrial complex, from the CIA through the military Buttigieg is Naval intelligence and
worked in Afghanistan trying to track down the financing of the Taliban. Seems to me that the mystery
of where the money's coming from could be easily answered by asking the soldiers who are guarding the
opium fields. In the 2018 Democratic primaries the DNC backed over fifty "former"
intelligence/military/Department of State et al.
Much of the suspicions about the Epstein case involve really high-end politicians, to include two
Presidents. There are hints of Epstein's connections to Mossad. That information is even more valuable
to the CIA, who would rather embarrass someone out of office than kill them. Someone thought it was
time to pull the plug on him, and it didn't happen because of a sudden outrage by progressive women.
Even Gloria Steinem, the woman chosen by the CIA to lead their faction of the feminist movement, is
silent.
And, of course, many iconic feminist groups depend on the financing of the powerful. Realpolitik.
Compromise everybody.
The Me Too movement was an identity politics scheme initiated by elite bourgeois women actresses and
their wannabes. From its very beginning , these well-to-do so-called liberals in the Democratic party
had no interest in the plight of working class women. The working class victims of the neighbors and
the country-club set of the Me Too leadership did not fit into the desired profile of the rich and
spoiled.
Those on the roster of the status-seeking rich women do not have time for those who do not share
their glamour and Beverly Hills addresses. Those who suffer the mundane and daily sexual harassment
and outright sexual assault at their blue-color jobs just don't fit in with "right" crowd to be worthy
of the fake Me Too outrage.

from an earlier comment I made on
exclusionary politics:

Should we have asked all Jewish participants to denounce apartheid Israel, before being allowed to
take part..?"

The list of names in Epstein's black book reads like a who's who of the political, media, finance, and
entertainment establishment of the past thirty years. Virtually all of them are in there. The media
and politicians do not want the public dwelling on the revelation that the neoliberal ruling elite is
one big gang of child rapists.
Isn't it a little surprising that these who's who's didn't know that their sexually deviant
behavior wasn't being recorded for the purposes of blackmail. And these are supposed to be the
brightest the species has to offer.

Not surprising if being compromised was a necessary preliminary to their careers being advanced.
This only confirms what I suspected about the Me,Too movement from the very start – that it is not a
genuine grassroots movement by women, but rather a political tool the "politically correct"
Establishment party invented as a weapon to destroy powerful men of the Opposition.

It is about class. #Me too was a reactionary moment at its core- not a movement, a moment of the
"better classes." In one telling comment on a recent Consortium News Epstein article, a poster sited a
Vanity Fair piece and claimed Lady Ghislaine had once called these poor girls "trash." You know,
throwaway children so a waif on a street corner late at night or working in a spa gets trafficked and
the bourgeoisie and the upper classes "don't really care, do you?" (Melania's jacket was a clue.)
But
a Hollywood starlet gets patted on her bum? The horrors. It's about class -- always has been, always
will be. If the burgeoning underclass in their precarity doesn't one day choose to rise up en masse, I
will be disappointed. And I am prepared for disappointment.

Professor Brenner's choice of topic here is somewhat suspect as far as I can tell. Given his
professional background I would expect him to focus on Jeff Epstein's not so stellar career on Wall
Street and the resulting melt down of the world economy after the subprime mortgage debacle. Those
topics more aligned with his forte. But nothing on that.
Instead he turns his focus to criticize the
ME TOO movement and others, "Why no howling?". He blew it, he seems to have made a pretty grievous
error. I
He flirts with discussing MOSSAD and CIA and their potential involvement in this story quickly
moving on to provide a hot link to lend exposure to the extremely troubling history of Alan Dershowitz
and his ties to Jeff Esptein.
Chose the link and read the story. His effort here to me is puzzling, unless he sees this as him
"howling".
If in fact Brenner is virtue signaling he has failed himself miserably. What he has submitted here
seems to openly blame victims and their advocates and appears to be his attempt distance himself from
"elite status"by naming a few caught up in this story. Given his profile at The Globalist:
he seems to travel in some very elitist circles himself.

predators, no matter their sex, economic or social stature, politics, nationality or racial background

In my opinion, admittedly not worth the time taken to express it, Mr Brenner has raised a
thought-provoking point. Where indeed is the pious Me Too lot. And as he indicates the vast
majority in/of the Me Too "movement" were among the privileged, the bourgeoisie. So too the Me
Too's much heralded victims.
But the victims of human trafficking (mainly for sex, though not
always), whether children, adolescents, young adults – well, they're clearly *not* from the same
social class, not of the bourgeoisie. They and the treatment, abuse of them matter less, it
would seem than straying hands on the backs, bums of adult females within the upper middle
classes. Especially when that abuse is at the hands of someone from the bourgeoisie,
particularly from that segment of the haute bourgeoisie within the ruling elites.
The ruling elites (and CIA-Mossad) simply want this business buried so that the circus and
the information flowing from it can continue through other means Me Too has no interest,
nothing to be gained from, no ax to grind in this affair – apparently. Which would seem to
indicate that it was as shallow and spiteful as it appeared in the main.
I'm not saying that sexual assault should ever be ignored, that females who are forced to
submit to sex – rape, surely?- in order to work, continue working should not have justice.
Indeed they should and the men who do such things should not only lose their jobs but also spend
a nice lengthy time in a real prison. But Me Too seemed to be more about identity politics
rather than really changing societal and police/court room attitudes toward rape and sexual
assault.
That such as Epstein was allowed, given the nod and wink, to carry on as he had and that the
Me Too movement has so far been silent about the whole business does indeed suggest that the
women involved in that so-called movement were had motives other than really wanting a big
change in socio-cultural attitudes toward and about male-female relationships, interactions,
conceptions of each other.

Whether or not Clinton abused Lewinsky is debatable, the question being consensuality, but what
is clear is that there were intelligence operatives all around the case, which always points to
others beyond the stage actors the public sees pulling the strings. Lucianne Goldberg has been
trying to get dirt on Democratic presidents from 1960 on, when she tried to get close to JFK
before settling for Johnson. In 1972 she worked for the North American Newspaper Alliance, a CIA
front, looking for dirt in the McGovern campaign. Lewinsky's "friend", Linda Tripp, has a
military intelligence background. It appears to me that the Lewinsky scandal was planned to
happen.
I suspect that Bill was easy to hook for Epstein's operation.
Tom Kath, the message I took from the article is that there are too many third rails that can be
touched and there is not an attempt to find out the truth about possible widespread and heinous
criminality. The way Epstein did jail time in the first instance should have touched the antennae
of investigative journalists. Perhaps they will dig deeper but Mister Brenner is right to be
suspicious. In fairness it is too early to starting pointing fingers but it is probable that what
we know will be as far as it goes..

Indignation at the failure of others might be suspect, but not rational criticism. In fact, lack of
rational critique is what is suspect.
In 2003 I saw it with my own eyes and the founder of this website founded it as a venue where the
truth could be told. Not madness, disinformation or no information but the real story. Robert Parry
left Washington "Journalism" after he saw a coalescing group think during the Iran Contra hearings as
a group think settled in Washington and all journalists that were not on point felt the sharp end of
it. At the end Bob had shown a great amount of evidence that CIA Chief Bush met with Iranian officials
in the fall of 1979 and arrangements were made to prolong the captivity of the hostages until after
the election.
The fact that the hostages were released to the exact minute that Reagan was sworn in was a gift
from the Iranians but not one paper asked one question. When the Iran Contra hearings got close to
figuring out that the arms for money to fight the Sandinistas in Nicaragua went way back and it was
becoming clear that the president and vice president might be involved both democrats and republicans
on the hearing abruptly shut it down without reason.
You might ask yourself then "Where is the public outcry". Well my own state of mind at the time
told me that what just happened was obviously not just a coincidence and the lame story that the
Iranians waited until the minute that Reagan was sworn in because they were afraid of him was a total
pile of dung. Why would the Iranians want in such a highly visible way for all to see their
capitulation to Reagan and show the World their fear. But that's the story they ran with and soon all
was forgotten.
If you still do not have a clue then you should read the many excellent articles in the archives of
Robert Parry and his quests to uncover the truth and tell the stories that official Washington just
refused to do.
"From "Spook Air" to the "Lolita Express": The Genesis and Evolution of the Jeffrey
Epstein-Bill Clinton Relationship"
by Whitney Webb
"Far from being the work of a single political party, intelligence agency or country, the
power structure revealed by the network connected to Epstein is nothing less than a criminal
enterprise that is willing to use and abuse children in the pursuit of ever more power,
wealth and control ..
in this four-part series, "The Jeffrey Epstein Scandal: Too Big to Fail," MintPress has
revealed that Epstein's activities -- a sexual blackmail operation involving minors and
connected to intelligence agencies -- was one of many such operations that have taken place
for decades, developing from the nexus forged between the CIA, organized crime and Israeli
intelligence shortly after World War II .
.the final installment of this series will focus on Democratic politicians, namely the
Clinton family, and their ties to this same network as well as Jeffrey Epstein.
The Clintons' own involvement in Iran-Contra revolved around the covert activities at
Arkansas' Mena Airport, which involved the CIA front company Southern Air Transport and
occurred while Clinton was governor. Just a few years into the Clinton presidential
administration, Leslie Wexner and Jeffrey Epstein would play a major role in Southern Air
Transport's relocation to Columbus, Ohio, leading to concerns among top Ohio officials that
both men were not only working with the CIA, but that Wexner's company, The Limited, sought
to use the CIA-linked airline for smuggling.
During that same period of time, Epstein had already forged close ties to important
Clinton White House officials and prominent Clinton donors like Lynn Forester de Rothschild
and made several personal visits to the official presidential residence .."
The Webb article is a tour-de-force, as is the series itself. I'm not sure she connects
all the dots, but she certainly identifies a sh**load of them. Particularly noteworthy is her
discussion of the PROMIS software scandal in relation to Robert Maxwell and later events; few
people seem to know about that. She also makes clear that the Clintons have been up to their
eyeballs in slime since their days in Arkansas. Much more work to be done, but Webb throws
out many clues for future investigation. I'm sure the NYT will get right on it.
The outrage being expressed in reaction to Wexler and his company's implicit support for
organized pedophilia and abuse of young women is deafening - I can't hear anything. No
protest?
Where are the advocates for fair and just treament of women?
Seems that all goes to wayside when politics does not align.
Vote for the Pedocrats.
"She would tell me, I am going to take care of the house," Alessi said in the deposition,
adding later that he drove Maxwell to spas around South Florida to look for young women who
could do "massages" for Epstein -- their code for sexual acts.
"I remember one occasion or two occasions she would say to me, 'Juan, give me a list of all
the spas in Palm Beach County,'" Alessi said. "And I will drive her from one to the other
one."
In one of the lawsuits, Virginia Roberts Giuffre laid out in detail what was believed to be
Maxwell's role in Epstein's alleged sex trafficking ring, which other women have echoed in
similar claims. Giuffre, 15 at the time, says she was working at a Mar-a-Lago club when she was
approached by Maxwell about a way to earn good money: learn massage therapy and get to know
Epstein as a man who could give her a bright future.
Giuffre says in a sworn affidavit that she was trained by Maxwell and Epstein to become
"everything a man wanted me to be" and that she was flown on Epstein's private planes to his
properties in New Mexico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Paris, and New York.
Two criminal defense attorneys told The Epoch Times that if the government was investigating
Epstein to such a degree that they were able to make an arrest, it can be assumed that federal
prosecutors in New York were also gathering evidence on those in his inner circle.
One attorney specifically mentioned the disgraced financier's former girlfriend, British
socialite Ghislaine
Maxwell , who allegedly assisted Epstein in luring minors. He said Maxwell would be
prosecutors' next main target and she could potentially name others connected to the
multimillionaire.
"She's going down. She's going to take everybody with her," Jeffery Greco, a New York
criminal defense lawyer and former prosecutor, said in a phone call. "They are going to ask
her, 'Who else did you provide these girls to?' I think that she is going to start
talking."
"Remember, it's just pieces to a puzzle, so she may not know everything. But they are going
to use her to place the people at those parties, so if she can say, 'I was there on this date
and this senator and so-and-so was there,' that will be enough for them to get them
involved."
Epstein often hosted parties at his
Upper East Side mansion in New York City . He owned the property, which has been valued at
$77 million, through an LLC. The seven-story building is located on East 71st Street, between
Fifth and Madison avenues.
Nearly 2,000 pages of documents relating to Epstein were unsealed on Aug. 9, revealing
allegations against a number of rich and powerful men, just a day before his apparent suicide.
The court documents, from a lawsuit by one of Epstein's accusers, Virginia Giuffre, listed new
names allegedly involved in Epstein's trafficking ring and more information on the role Maxwell
played.
In a 2016 deposition, Giuffre claimed she was directed by Maxwell to have sex with a number
of powerful men.
Greco believes the biggest implication of Epstein's death is that there will be "more and
more indictments coming down." He said the government will be pressured to file "additional
charges" against "additional people" and will be more aggressive in their methods.
"I think there is this extra pressure on the government now to really focus on these
[unnamed] co-conspirators, no matter how high up because it's become so public," he said.
According
to court documents , Epstein sexually exploited and abused dozens of minor girls at his
homes in New York City and in Palm Beach, Florida, among other locations. Since his death,
a
slew of investigations have been opened or demanded into his death. The official autopsy
result has
been delayed , "pending further information at this time."
Julie Rendelman, a New York criminal defense attorney and former homicide prosecutor, said
those who helped Epstein or assisted him along the way are now going to be the "focus of the
future investigations" and will be "kind of the face of the Epstein case, instead of him."
"New evidence." An "assist" from journalists. Don't believe it.
The New York prosecutors didn't take action after reading a newspaper article about a
game-changing piece of evidence. Compare the 2007 non-prosecution agreement with the new
indictment. Both address sex trafficking of children. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has been
sitting on mountains of evidence confirming Epstein's abuse of young girls for more than 10
years.
The "assist" was instead a wave of public outrage upon the discovery of how the Justice
Department and Florida prosecutors protected a child sex offender with a lenient plea deal, hid
the details from the victims and the public, and failed to prosecute the women who helped
Epstein find, groom, and exploit children.
What did the Justice Department have on Epstein? The answers can be found in a 2008 lawsuit
in which two of Epstein's alleged victims in Doe v. U.S. sued the
United States for violating their rights under the federal Crime Victims' Rights Act. In
particular, they claimed the government violated their right to confer during the negotiation
of the non-prosecution agreement and failed to inform the victims that Epstein's state plea
would end the federal case. The victims also claimed the government "violated their right to be
treated with fairness" by concealing the non-prosecution agreement.
Judge Kenneth Marra sided with the victims on Feb. 21, ruling that the Justice Department
violated the victims' rights under the Crime Victims' Rights Act. The opinion ( pdf ) set forth
the DOJ's conspiracy with Epstein's lawyers to deceive the victims. Some of those who
participated in the plea deal at the local level have offered justifications. As the Miami
Herald's Julie Brown reported :
"Assistant U.S. Attorney [Marie] Villafaña, in court papers, said that prosecutors
used their 'best efforts' to comply with the Crime Victims' Rights Act, but exercised their
'prosecutorial discretion' when they chose not to notify the victims.
"The reasoning went like this: The non-prosecution deal had a restitution clause that
provided the girls a chance to seek compensation from Epstein. Had the deal fallen through,
necessitating a trial, Epstein's lawyers might have used the prior restitution clause to
undermine the girls' credibility as witnesses, by claiming they had exaggerated Epstein's
behavior in hopes of cashing in."
These excuses fall flat. The volume of evidence that the DOJ had on Epstein and his criminal
enterprise was extensive. For example, privilege logs filed by the prosecutors in the
Doe case show they had records covering every part of Epstein's life, including his
finances, corporate records, flight logs, and phone calls with conspirators.
When it came to the victims, the evidence was overwhelming. The DOJ had an FBI file entitled
"Summary of Sexual Activity," containing an analysis of victim-specific information. This
included a chart showing phone calls, travel, and grand jury evidence relevant to possible
charges. Records show this involved at least nine potential victims. The DOJ was also in
possession of FBI reports of interviews of victims and witnesses in New York back in March
2008.
Court records also revealed the DOJ had jury transcripts, witness and victim interviews,
investigative files from the State of Florida and the Palm Beach Police Department, and records
on potential co-conspirators.
The evidence was there. What was missing was the institutional desire to prosecute child
sexual abuse. The institutions failed the victims. And the media has failed the public by not
demanding those in power answer a simple question: "Why?"
The answer to that question lies with the Department of Justice headquarters, also known as
"main Justice." They knew. Epstein's criminal defense lawyer Alan Dershowitz has stated that
the plea deal "went through numerous levels of approval at main Justice."
The involvement of main Justice was confirmed in the court's Feb. 21 opinion, which states
"any requirement that Epstein carry out his obligations under the [non-prosecution agreement]
was delayed while he sought higher-level review within the Justice Department."
Further corroboration was provided by Acosta at his July 10 press conference, where he
stated that people from main Justice were involved early in the development of the Epstein case
and were aware of its progression. Acosta declined to state who at main Justice was involved in
the Epstein case. I have names.
Court records show that post-plea-deal decisions went up to Deputy Attorney General Mark
Filip, who, according to one former DOJ official, has a stellar reputation. Filip was informed
of reasons to approve the continued prosecution of Epstein if he didn't comply with the
non-prosecution agreement. Judge Marra noted that Filip reviewed the Epstein matter and
determined that federal prosecution of Epstein was appropriate if he did not "comply with the
terms and conditions of the agreement."
Another high-level Department of Justice official who had his fingerprints on the case is
Andrew Oosterbaan, then-chief of the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section. A privilege log
filed on June 23, 2015, references several emails from 2007 between the Florida federal
prosecutors and Oosterbaan regarding an "Epstein meeting" and "changes to the draft indictment
and status of plea negotiations."
The same document shows emails from 2008 with Oosterbaan concerning a "continued delay in
presenting case to grand jury due to failure to receive decision from D.C., the status of grand
jury presentation and ongoing investigation" and a "meeting in DC" concerning the
case.
Additionally, these records appear to show Epstein's attorneys reached out to Andy
Lourie in May 2007 to arrange a meeting to discuss the Epstein investigation. Lourie was the
acting chief of the Public Integrity Section of the Criminal Division in Washington in 2006,
before becoming the acting principal deputy assistant attorney general and chief of staff to
the Criminal Division by 2007. In 2007, he was also an assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern
District of Florida. Lourie was kept in the loop on possible federal coercion and enticement
charges, proposed changes to the indictment, "finalizing details with State Attorney's Office,"
and "final revisions to indictment package." There are also notations of 2007 emails from
Florida federal prosecutors to Myesha Braden, who was serving as a trial attorney for the Child
Exploitation and Obscenity Section of the DOJ's Criminal Division, regarding securing a
pre-indictment consultation contract. This correspondence took place months before Epstein
signed the non-prosecution agreement.
In other words, main Justice was well-informed with the investigation and status of the
case.
The involvement of main Justice raises the question of who made the ultimate decision on
Epstein's sweetheart deal. Was Acosta following orders from main Justice? If so, who issued the
orders and how high did it go? Who did Filip and Oosterbaan report to?
And why did main Justice have such an interest in a South Florida child sex offender?
This quote from Acosta, cited in a July 9, 2019, Daily Beast article, may provide the
answer: "I was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to leave it alone."

Jeffrey Epstein used his tangled web of shell companies as a "brazen and powerful organization"
to operate a sex-trafficking ring, according to three new civil lawsuits filed against his $578
million estate.
The new litigation was filed against the estate, its executors and the shell companies
themselves, asking for unspecified damages for medical and psychological expenses, trauma,
humiliation and other injuries suffered as recently as 2017, according to
Bloomberg
.
Among the companies named in all three suits are
one that owned Epstein's Manhattan
mansion until 2011
;
his money-management firm, Financial Trust Co.; and HBRK
Associates Inc., which allegedly helped arrange travel for Epstein's accusers between New York
and Florida
. A Richard Kahn was listed as the registered agent for HBRK in New York
state corporate filings in 2008.
Two of the complaints name as a defendant
the company that once owned Little St.
James
, the smaller of Epstein's private islands in the Caribbean.
Little St.
James was one of the locations from which Epstein ran a "
complex commercial sex trafficking
and abuse ring
,
" according to the lawsuits.
...
The defendants include the executors,
Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn
,
lawyers who were directors for a nonprofit Epstein had in the U.S. Virgin Islands called
Gratitude America. -

Two of the women, "Katlyn Doe" and "Lisa Doe" claim to have met Epstein when they were
seventeen. The third, "Priscilla Doe" says she was 20. The three say Epstein used a "
vast
enterprise
" of associates working "in concert and at his direction, for the purpose of
harming teenage girls through sexual exploitation, abuse and trafficking. Notably, the new suits
claim that all of this happened
after his deal with federal prosecutors in Florida in
2007.
Katlyn and Priscilla claim they were flown to Florida so that Epstein could continue to sexually
abuse them
while he was on work release from jail
. Katlyn claims he promised to
pay for medical treatment, while he manipulated Lisa and Priscilla by promising to advance their
dance careers - which he did not do, according to the lawsuits.
Epstein's complicit associates include
"chefs, butlers, receptionists, schedulers,
secretaries, flight attendants, pilots, housekeepers, maids, sex recruiters, drivers and other
staff members,
" according to the suits.
Katlyn also alleges that in 2013
Epstein paid her $10,000 to marry an associate
in order for him to become a legal resident of the United States - stiffing her on another $10,000
she says she was promised upon their divorce. She says she agreed to come to Florida after Epstein
promised her a job at his office, and that
HRBK coordinated her travel
. She added
that Epstein forced her to "engage in sexual encounters" with him and another young female at the
headquarters of his Florida Science Foundation.
According to University of Oregon law professor Susan Gary, Epstein's death shouldn't serve as
an impediment to their civil claims.
"
They're still in a good position
," said Gary, adding that the challenge "is
proving as required by law that he injured them and they should get benefits for their injury."
After Epstein served 13 months in a Palm Beach jail,
he settled over two dozen lawsuits
with accusers who say he lured them when they were teenagers to his mansion, where they were
coerced into sex and paid to recruit others
.
Three of those cases, filed by clients of Brad Edwards,
settled for a total of $5.5
million
. Edwards is the lawyer for the women who filed the complaints Tuesday in
federal court in New York.
The plaintiffs aren't named because of the "sensitive sexual
nature" of the cases
, the suits say.
Late Tuesday, Edwards submitted arguments on behalf of VE, another client who last week sued
Epstein's estate and three of the same companies targeted by the latest suits, asking the court
to allow her to proceed anonymously.
"
Epstein's vast wealth and far reaching connections make it clear that retaliation
could be employed against individuals pursuing claims against the estate
" and could
deter witnesses, according to the filing. VE's anonymity will serve society as well, which "
has
an interest in eradicating the predatory practices of powerful men against vulnerable,
susceptible women.
" -
Bloomberg
According to Katlyn Doe, Epstein would often remind her of his "extraordinary power to reward
and punish."
Meanwhile, plaintiff Lisa Doe says she met Epstein in 2002 when she was 17, when he told her he
was "close personal friends with some of the most influential names in dance," and would help her
with her career if she taught a dance-based exercise class at the home of a wealthy New York man.
Instead,
Epstein forced her to engage in sexual encounters and derailed her career
aspirations
.
Lastly, Priscilla Doe says that an Epstein "recruiter" asked her if she wanted to give the
financier a massage in his Manhattan mansion in 2006 when she was 20-years-old.
An associate of his taught her the "exact way" he liked to receive oral sex
and Epstein "forced himself on her and took her virginity," according to the complaint. While
Epstein was receiving massages, the suit says, he took calls from four people, referred to in
the suit as "Important Business Person" 1, 2, 3 and 4.
The plaintiff says she was forced to "engage in commercial sex" on each of more than
20 trips to the Virgin Islands between 2006 and 2012

According to the lawsuits, "Each of the employees and associates were paid through companies
believed to have been funded by Jeffrey Epstein and, regardless of such funding, were disciples of
Jeffrey Epstein, constantly informing plaintiff and other victims of Jeffrey Epstein's power and
ability to improve or destroy a victim's life depending on her level of cooperation
The last good FBI agent was Ted Gunderson. That's why Van Decamp
gave the documentary that Bush Administration had buried to him.
We almost lost this documentary forever, but some heroic
individuals and fate kept it alive, hoping people would give a
****. It all ties to somebody controlling our politicians with
honeypots. Remember when NWO was a conspiracy theory people
laughed about? Not funny any more.
This is Gunderson after the
FBI. He KNEW. This is all honeypot. The Satanism is for leverage
and not real. People get detoured into that.

Conspiracy of Silence
, a documentary listed for viewing
in TV Guide Magazine was to be aired on the Discovery Channel, on
May 3 1994. This documentary exposed a network of religious
leaders and Washington politicians who flew children to Washington
D.C. for sex orgies. Many children suffered the indignity of
wearing nothing but their underwear and a number displayed on a
piece of cardboard hanging from their necks when being auctioned
off to foreigners in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Toronto, Canada.
"At the last minute before airing, unknown congressmen
threatened the TV Cable industry with restrictive legislation if
this documentary was aired. Almost immediately,
the rights to
the documentary were purchased by unknown persons who ordered all
copies destroyed.
A copy of this videotape was furnished anonymously to former
Nebraska state senator and attorney John De Camp who made it
available to retired
FBI Agent Ted L. Gunderson
. While
the video quality is not top grade, this tape is a blockbuster in
what is revealed by its participants involved."
Can you imagine what these heroic men would think of this
exposed Mossad honeypot? Its all exposed now, just needs to be
linked together.
So the Jews have another South America pedophile scandal
to their discredit.
We haven't forgotten the child
prostitution business run by Arie Scher and George
Schteinberg in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, during the 1990s
.
It was exposed in the early summer of 2000 by an infuriated
teenage girl who found a nude photo of herself online, after
Schteinberg had PROMISED her that he'd never show it to
anyone.
Schteinberg was arrested and given a slap on the wrist (they
went easy on him because he was Jewish) while Arie Scher
escaped to Israel, one step ahead of the authorities.
The Israeli government took away Scher's diplomat license
for five years (because he got caught being naughty,
presumably; properly trained Jews don't get caught, of
course).
When the five years were past, Israel proposed to send Scher
to Australia to replace Amir Laty, who'd made himself
unwelcome by committing espionage and by being very rude to
certain Australian women.
Somehow or other, the Australian public found out that the
spy was being replaced by a pedophile as Israel's official
ambassador to their country, and they got up in arms about
it. This persuaded Scher to decline the post, perhaps
keeping the cushy administrative job the Israeli government
gave him during the previous five years
So, looks like there were running another operation like
this in Brazil during the 90s (never heard of that one before)

1) Authorities will NOT pursue, question or
charge any of Epstein's clients or associates (the very people the
entire trafficking operation catered to).
2) Authorities will NOT "follow the money."
3) Authorities will not arrest and prosecute any government
employee who obstructed justice or participated in this scheme.
The elites will have to get rid of people and evidence. The
Clintons know too much and are oftened named. Nail gun sale at
Home Depot. Those 2 geriatric fcuks must go.
They are a huge liability on countless fronts. That will leave
Chelsea to answer for any Clinton foundation questions, and she
has been involved. She can play stupid and elicit sympathy. The
Clintons are a huge problem.
Wexner is related to Mossad and the very beginnings of the
teaming up of Mossad with Dulles' CIA, after WWII, the OSS, the
Irgun and the Stern gruppe, who did the King David Hotel bombing.
The Boss of Wexner is Henry Kissinger the 'republican free
trader in favor of democracy'.
The Bosses of soldiers raping Kissinger in his Vietnam creation
are the Rockefellers.
Kissinger ordered the Phoenix program mass murdering Vietnamese
nationalist by the tens of thousands, which is a mere one feat in
his massive killing career, like Churchill,
Kissinger who ran the Republican president Richard Nixon like
fc*king a goat.
By the way, there are pictures in circulation of Republican
president Ronald Reagan being deeply ejaculated into the manhole,
enjoying that greatly (vehemently denied by his daughter at his
funeral, pffffffff),
the same anecdotes exist of Prince Philip, husband of fake
Queen Elisabeth, who requested to be manly penetrated by crew,
when he was onboard visiting the British fleet.
And it it was no accident that the Monica Lewinsky/ Clinton sex
scandal erupted into public view precisely at the moment
Clinton had scheduled meetings with Netanyahu and Palestinian
leader Yasir Arafat to revive the peace process by pressuring
Netanyahu.
This likely could be tied to Franklin child sex ring scandal and
Mossad will be there too. Watch this free documentary before
Jootube takes it down. Men died for you to know this. The show was
yanked before it could be played mainstream. Extremely disturbing
but VERY important. This was the last time they slipped through
your fingers and this type of thing will be what destroys this
evil.
Yeah and since Sir Pedo's death was termed a suicide, then one
would think his will dealy in US VI was planned, as was his death
and me thinks a good lawyer would negate the will, trust, etc by
simply terming this transfer of assets a fraudulent conveyance and
yank it back where those abused can take a slice.
"... However, while throughout Webb's articles she draws linkages that lead to the Mossad, she only suggests CIA connections. This is similar to but milder than a point made in an article written by Philip Giraldi, a former CIA counter-terrorism specialist, " Did Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein Work for Mossad? " Giraldi writes that the CIA "would have no particular motive to acquire an agent like Epstein." This makes no sense. Of course, it would.

W hen phrases such as "the deep state" and "conspiracy theory" become staples of both the
corporate mainstream media and the alternative press, we know the realities behind these
phrases have outlasted their usefulness for the ruling elites who control the United States and
for their critics, each of whom uses them refutably or corroboratively. These phrases are
bandied about so often that they have become hackneyed and inane.
Everything is shallow now, in our faces, and by being in our faces the truth is taking place
behind our backs. The obvious can't be true since it's so obvious, so let us search for other
explanations, and when the searchers search, let us call them "conspiracy nuts." It is a mind
game of extraordinary proportions, orchestrated by the perverted power elites who run the show
and are abetted by their partners in the corporate mass media, even some in the alternative
press who mean well but are confused, or are disinformation agents in the business of sowing
confusion together with their mainstream Operation Mockingbird partners.
It is a spectacle of open secrecy, in which the CIA, which created the "conspiracy theory"
meme to ridicule critics of the Warren Commission's absurd explanation of the Kennedy
assassination, has effectively sucked everyone into a game of to and fro in which only they
win.
"When I make a word do a lot of work like that," said Humpty Dumpty, "I always pay it
extra."
Outside the Narrative Frame
Only by stepping outside this narrative frame with its vocabulary can we begin to grasp the
truth here in our Wonderland of endless illusions.
Death, sex, power, intrigue, murder, suicide – these are the staples of the penny
press of the 19 th century, Joseph Pulitzer's New York World , Hearst's
New York Journal , the tabloids, today's mass media, and the CIA. People hunger for
these stories, not for the real truth that impacts their lives, but for the titillation that
gives a frisson to their humdrum lives. It is why post-modern detective stories are so popular,
as if never solving the crime is the point.
Robert Pfaller in 2016. (Suzie1212, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons)
To say "we will never know" is the mantra of a postmodern culture created to keep people
running in circles. (Note the commentaries about the Jeffrey Epstein case.) Elusive and
allusive indeterminacy characterizes everything in the culture of postmodernity. Robert
Pfaller, a professor at the University of Art and Industrial Design in Linz, Austria, and a
founding member of the Viennese psychoanalytic research group "stuzzicandenti," put it clearly
in a
recent interview :
"The ruling ideology since the fall of the Berlin Wall, or even earlier, is postmodernism.
This is the ideological embellishment that the brutal neoliberal attack on Western societies'
welfare (that was launched in the late 1970s) required in order to attain a "human",
"liberal" and "progressive" face. This coalition between an economic policy that serves the
interest of a tiny minority, and an ideology that appears to "include" everybody is what
Nancy Fraser has aptly called "progressive neoliberalism". It consists of neoliberalism, plus
postmodernism as its ideological superstructure."
The propagandists know this; they created it. They are psychologically astute, having
hijacked many intelligent but soul-less people of the right and left to do their handiwork.
Money Buys Souls
Money buys souls, and the number of those who have sold theirs is numerous, including those
leftists who have been bought by the CIA, as Cord Meyer, the CIA official phrased it so
sexually in the 1950s: we need to "court the compatible left." He knew that drawing leftists
into the CIA's orbit was the key to efficient propaganda. For so many of the compatible left,
those making a lot of money posing as opponents of the ruling elites but taking the money of
the super-rich, events like the JFK assassination are inconsequential, never to be broached, as
if they never happened, except as the authorities say they did.
By ignoring these most in-your-face events with their eyes wide shut, a coterie of
influential leftists has done the work of Orwell's crime-stop and has effectively succeeded in
situating current events in an ahistorical and therefore misleading context that abets U.S.
propaganda.
The debate over whether Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide or not is a pseudo-debate meant to
keep people spinning their wheels over nothing. It attracts attention and will do so for many
days to come. There are even some usually astute people suggesting that he may not be dead but
might have been secretly whisked off somewhere and replaced with a dead look-alike. Now who
would profit from suggesting something as insane as this? The speculation runs rampant and
feeds the spectacle. Whether he was allowed to kill himself or was killed makes little
difference.

Debates to Nowhere
It's akin to asking who pulled the trigger that killed President John Kennedy. That's a
debate that was intended to go nowhere, as it has, after it became apparent that Lee Harvey
Oswald surely did not kill JFK. Kennedy's murder in broad daylight in public view is the
paradigmatic event of modern times. It is obvious to anyone who gives minimal study to the
issue that it was organized and carried out by elements within the national security state,
notably the CIA. Their message was meant to be unequivocal and clear: We can kill him and we
can kill you; we are in full control; beware. Then they went on to kill others, including RFK
and MLK. It takes little intelligence to see this obvious fact, unless you wish not to or are
totally lost in the neighborhood of make-believe.
As it was with Jack Ruby killing Lee Harvey Oswald, so it is with Epstein. There will be no
trial. Nothing is really hidden except the essential truth. Guess, debate, wonder, watch, read
to your sad heart's content. You will have gotten nowhere unless you step outside the frame of
the reigning narrative.
New York Post: Reigniting the narrative.
A corollary example of another recent national headline grabber, the Mueller investigation,
is apropos here. Douglas Valentine, expert on the CIA and author of "The CIA as Organized
Crime," said in a recent interview that in all the endless mass media discussions of the
Mueller investigation, one obvious question was never asked: What is the CIA's role in it all?
It was never asked because the job of the corporate mass media is to work for the CIA, not to
expose it as a nest of organized criminals and murderers that it is.
What is important in the Epstein case is the deep back story, a tale that goes back decades
and is explored by Whitney Webb in a series of fine
articles for the Mint Press. Read her articles and you will see how Epstein is just the current
manifestation of the sordid history of the American marriage between various factions of the
American ruling elites, whose business is sexual exploitation as a fringe benefit of being
willing members of the economic and military exploitation of the world. A marriage of spies,
mafia, intelligence agencies, sexual perverts, foreign governments and American traitors who
will stop at nothing to advance their interests.
Destroys the Fairy Tale of Democracy
It is a hard story to swallow because it destroys the fairy tale that has been constructed
about American "democracy" and the decency of our leaders. Webb's articles are not based on
secret documents but on readily available information open to a diligent researcher. It's known
history that has been buried, as is most history in a country of amnesiacs and educational
illiterates. The average person doesn't have Webb's skill or time to pull it all together, but
they can read her illuminating work. Often, however, it is the will to truth that is
lacking.
While Webb places the Epstein matter in an historical context, she does not "solve" the
case, since there is nothing to solve. It is another story from a long litany of sex/espionage
stories openly available to anyone willing to look. They tell the same story. Like many
commentators, she draws many linkages to the Israeli Mossad's long-standing connections to this
criminal under and over world in the United States and throughout the world. She writes:
"Ultimately, the picture painted by the evidence is not a direct tie to a single
intelligence agency but a web linking key members of the Mega Group [a secretive group of
Jewish billionaires, including Epstein's patron Leslie Wexner], politicians, and officials in
both the U.S. and Israel, and an organized-crime network with deep business and intelligence
ties in both nations."
If anything is obvious about the Epstein case, it is that he was part of a sexual blackmail
operation tied to intelligence agencies. Such blackmail has long been central to the methods of
intelligence agencies worldwide and many arrows rightfully point to the Mossad.
However, while throughout Webb's articles she draws linkages that lead to the Mossad, she
only suggests CIA connections. This is similar to but milder than a point made in an article
written by Philip Giraldi, a former CIA counter-terrorism specialist, " Did Pedophile
Jeffrey Epstein Work for Mossad? " Giraldi writes that the CIA "would have no particular
motive to acquire an agent like Epstein." This makes no sense. Of course, it would. The CIA and
the FBI have a long record of such activities, and to hold such a club over the heads of
presidents, senators, et al to make sure they do their bidding is obviously a strong
motivation.
Valentine's point about not asking the question about the CIA's involvement in the Mueller
investigation pertains. Does Giraldi believe that the Mossad operates independently of the CIA?
Or that they don't work in tandem? His statement is very strange.
The CIA is organized crime, and if Epstein is Mossad connected, he is CIA also, which is
most likely. Epstein could not have operated as he did for decades without being sustained and
protected. Now that he is dead there will be no trial, just as there will be no mainstream
media or justice department revelations about the CIA or Mossad. There will be a lot of
gibberish about conspiracy theories and the open secret that is the spectacle of secrecy will
roll on. There will, of course, be much sex talk and outrage. We will anxiously await the movie
and the TV "exposés." Most people will know, and pretend they don't, that the country is
ruled by gangsters who would pimp their mothers if it served their interests.
Those of us who oppose these criminals – and there are growing numbers all over the
world – must avoid being sucked into the Establishment narratives and the
counter-narratives they spawn or create. We must refuse to get involved in pseudo-debates that
are meant to lead nowhere. We must reject the language created to confuse.
If revolutionary change is to come, we must learn to tell a new story in language so
beautiful, illuminating, and heart-rending that no one will listen to the lying words of child
molesters, mass murderers, and those who hate and persecute truth tellers.
As John Berger said, "In storytelling everything depends on what follows what. And the
truest order is seldom obvious."
Educated in the classics, philosophy, literature, theology, and sociology, Ed Curtin is a
former professor of sociology. His writing on varied topics has appeared widely over many
years. He sees all his work as an effort to enhance human freedom.
Prince Andrew hung out with Epstein because he made a good tuna on rye. We are all conditioned to accept that powerful
people do not have to go to jail. Its just the way it is and will always remain so. There is not an honest person anywhere on
planet earth who believes that Bill Clinton and the others did not have sex with “those girls”. America and the west are
morally corrupt piles of garbage. No wonder the African Americans and others rage against an unbalanced system of justice.
Actually it is just poor people of any color who get the book thrown at them.
I saw the pictures yesterday on the telegraph of the young blond girl leaving Epsteins Manhattan home with Prince Andrew
poking his head out the door. The girl looked like she was no older than 14. The dear old Queen doesn’t represent justice
either.
Vera Gottlieb, August 20, 2019 at 11:29
Just curious…will the Epstein saga be as prolonged and boring as the Russiagate saga???
Litchfield, August 20, 2019 at 14:00
I don’t think so.
It is in the interest of the puppetmeister to let thing die out ASAP. Not so the Russiagate hoax: the idea was to prolong it
in the hopes of finally finding a smoking gun of some kind. With the Epstein story we are awash in smoking guns, but they are
being ignored.
Dan D. August 20, 2019 at 09:34
If there is no trial and further revelations about the nature of this operation, which should be expected, it won’t simply
be because Epstein is dead, but because there will be no prosecution of the central operational cog in the gang,
Ghislaine Maxwell, or her cohorts named in the fantastic settlement agreement. There are more than sufficient facts in
the public sphere to proceed.

“The CIA is organized crime,…”
Edward Curtin has summarized our contemporary hell as few others can. In the above comments he fully describes our dilemma
and underscores the necessity for sites like Consortiumnews to present the truth for citizens to be able to sort truth from
lies. Still we cannot forget that our democracy is “a criminal conspiracy”…
I actually believe knowing what happened to Epstein is knowable. It is also important because it will reveal who/what has
the power to make such a thing happen. However, while this information will take a long time to come out it is our job to
push on behalf of his victims right now.
There is information showing that Maxwell and several other people committed multiple rapes of children. We do not see her,
Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, just to name a few, hauled in for questioning. That really needs to happen. We
have built up the powerful into untouchable icons. This needs to full stop now. These are not icons, they are potential and
likely guilty child rapists of children. Our power system is held up by unspeakable cruelty to children and to others who
simply don’t have the power to fight back unless we offer our support and services to them. There is enough testimony and
other evidence to bring them in for questioning.
The conspiracy to commit rape should be ready to go. Investigators have had that information for a long time. I’m not buying
that they are too incompetent to move that case forward. We are going to need to push for this. Deliberate infliction of
human misery is evil and it is not acceptable to create one’s society on such a thing.
There is ground penetrating radar which can see under Jeff’s concrete pour. It can also show the tunnels on the islands.
“Lost” evidence can be relocated from it’s undisclosed location. The ranch in NM can be sealed off and also scanned by this
radar. No one should believe agencies with the resources of this government behind them are incapable of doing such things.
In the meantime, there is a tape of Jeff’s wing from that night. There’s one from the hospital and the investigators can
offer immunity to anyone guard or hospital/ambulance employee in exchange for their truthful explanation of what they were
doing and what they saw. This was not a series of incompetent actions which all went one way and one way only. It took a lot
of planning and a lot of resources. That means there are a lot of witnesses.
We do need to uncover and dismantle this chain of human misery. No More.

Excellent comment, Jill. As a family medicine nurse practitioner for many years, I have witnessed and helped many teen
victims of adults who thought it somehow A-ok to sexually take advantage of them. I understand teen psychology. They are
wholly unprepared to deal with the often underhanded tactics of pedophiles who use charm, deceit, threats, flattery, physical
violence, tangible needed goods like money, clothing, or even a place to sleep, to get what they want— sex with a young
person.
It is truly evil and that is not too strong a word for it. Epstein apparently used all of these tactics on his victims.
How I wish there were a hell for the likes of him.
Litchfield, August 20, 2019 at 12:14
I agree with all you say, and thanks for putting it so clearly. There is NO EXCUSE for this case NOT to go forward and for
all the parties of interest to be interrogated, and not with velvet gloves on. Clinton, Andrew, Dersh, Wexner, Maxwell, just
for starters. Possibly Barr should recuse himself, as he seems to be too intertwined with the Epstein background story.
Brian Murphy, August 20, 2019 at 12:42
Is it really such a mystery what organizations acting together have the capability to have done this? They are identified
in the article. The western coalition of intelligence agencies, which includes the Mossad along with NATO powers. In the USA,
that includes the entire intelligence apparatus — CIA, NSA, MIA, FBI, Secret Service, as supported and defended by the DOJ.
Which of those entities placed someone in the jail cell to crack his neck is somewhat immaterial. The current President
and at least one former President were implicated, which justifies the use of the full arsenal in the minds of those
involved, as a “threat to national security,” which of course means strictly “threat to the profits of certain entities.”

There is sparse evidence and zero proof that the charming fellow committed suicide, and only claims (somebody said stuff)
that he’s actually dead. (Same for his girlfriend’s dad, same for Skirpal :–)

I can't add much to Yve's excellent post and the follow-up comments, except to say that the events of recent days and weeks
have made Pizzagate (as deranged as it was) into some kind of weird Jungian premonition which is to say, the s&#* is out of control.
When Trump was first elected, I tried to calm down friends with advanced TDS, who expected Kristallnacht to be directed
at their favorite brunch spots, by saying that "This is what empires in decline look like."
In regard to this sordid tale, I'm reminded of Robert Graves' (and the superb BBC TV version of) "I, Claudius."
My reinterpretation of your comment would be; In this sordid world, people without power have absolutely no value.
Otherwise, I'm with you all the way. Abuse is abuse. No other definition is logical.
Epstein's World was tied in with Hollywood and Wall Street. Both are homoerotic paedophile havens. The world of the Vatican
is tied in to Wall Street; it has it's own bank, the Instituto per le Opere de Religioni.
Who knows? Perhaps there will be some Prelates unearthed from the Lolita Express passenger log.
As is true with the continued withholding of key documents in the JFK assassination, I believe that if the lousy reporting
and official screwups in the Epstein case persist, it will be perfectly fine for the public to conclude and believe the absolute
worst and act accordingly.
Given the spotiness and inadequacy of reporting on the Epstein affair I wonder if an avenue for exploration might be that
of a more direct involvement of media moguls and highly placed media staff in being serviced by Epstein i.e., the decision-makers
regarding what gets covered and published are themselves subject to exposure, embarrassment, and other things that befall men
caught in such matters.
Who covers the press and roots out its secret malefactions? Rogue reporters? And who publishes them? Indeed!

As investigative journalist Amy Fine Collins notes, "It's become
more lucrative and much safer to sell malleable
teens than drugs or guns . A pound of heroin or an AK-47 can be retailed once, but a young girl can be sold 10 to 15 times a
day -- and a 'righteous' pimp confiscates 100 percent of her earnings."
"Human trafficking -- the commercial sexual exploitation of American children and women, via the Internet, strip clubs,
escort services, or street prostitution -- is on its way to becoming
one of the worst crimes in the U.S.
," said prosecutor Krishna Patel.
In order to avoid detection (in some cases
aided and abetted by the police
) and cater to male buyers' demand for sex with different women, pimps and the gangs and crime syndicates they work for have
turned sex trafficking into a highly mobile enterprise, with trafficked girls, boys and women constantly being moved from city to
city, state to state, and country to country.
For instance, the Baltimore-Washington area, referred to as
The Circuit , with its I-95 corridor dotted with rest
stops, bus stations and truck stops, is a hub for the sex trade.
No doubt about it: this is a highly profitable, highly organized and highly sophisticated sex trafficking business that operates
in towns large and small, raking in
upwards of $9.5 billion a year in the U.S. alone by abducting and selling young girls for sex.
Every year, the girls being bought and sold gets younger and younger.
The average age of those being trafficked is 13. Yet as the head of a group that combats trafficking pointed out, "Let's think
about what average means. That means there are children younger than 13.
That means 8-, 9-, 10-year-olds. "
"For every 10 women rescued, there are 50 to 100 more women who are brought in by the traffickers. Unfortunately, they're not
18- or 20-year-olds anymore," noted a 25-year-old victim of trafficking. "
They're minors as young as 13
who are being trafficked. They're little girls."
Where did this appetite for young girls come from?
Look around you.
Young girls have been sexualized for years now in music videos, on billboards, in television ads, and in clothing stores. Marketers
have created a demand for young flesh and a ready supply of over-sexualized children.
"All it takes is one look at MySpace photos of teens to see examples -- if they aren't imitating porn they've actually seen,
they're imitating the porn-inspired images and poses they've absorbed elsewhere,"
writes Jessica Bennett for Newsweek .
"Latex, corsets and stripper heels, once the fashion of porn stars, have made their way into middle and high school."
"In a market that sells high heels for babies and thongs for tweens, it doesn't take a genius to see that
sex, if not porn, has invaded our lives
," concludes Bennett . "Whether we welcome it or not, television brings it into our living rooms and the Web brings it into
our bedrooms. According to a 2007 study from the University of Alberta, as many as 90 percent of boys and 70 percent of girls
aged 13 to 14 have accessed sexually explicit content at least once."
In other words, the culture is grooming these young people to be preyed upon by sexual predators. And then we wonder why our young
women are being preyed on, trafficked and abused?
Rarely do these girls enter into prostitution voluntarily. Many start out as runaways or throwaways, only to be snatched up by
pimps or larger sex rings. Others, persuaded to meet up with a stranger after interacting online through one of the many social networking
sites, find themselves quickly initiated into their new lives as sex slaves.
Debbie , a straight-A student who belonged
to a close-knit Air Force family living in Phoenix, Ariz., is an example of this trading of flesh. Debbie was 15 when she was snatched
from her driveway by an acquaintance-friend. Forced into a car, Debbie was bound and taken to an unknown location, held at gunpoint
and raped by multiple men. She was then crammed into a small dog kennel and forced to eat dog biscuits. Debbie's captors advertised
her services on Craigslist. Those who responded were often married with children, and the money that Debbie "earned" for sex was
given to her kidnappers. The gang raping continued. After searching the apartment where Debbie was held captive, police finally found
Debbie stuffed in a drawer under a bed. Her harrowing ordeal lasted for 40 days.
While Debbie was fortunate enough to be rescued, others are not so lucky. According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited
Children, nearly 800,000
children go missing every year (roughly 2,185 children a day).
With a growing demand for sexual slavery and an endless supply of girls and women who can be targeted for abduction, this is not
a problem that's going away anytime soon.
For those trafficked, it's a nightmare from beginning to end.
Those being sold for sex have an average life expectancy of
seven years , and those years are a living nightmare of endless rape, forced drugging, humiliation, degradation, threats, disease,
pregnancies, abortions, miscarriages, torture, pain, and always the constant fear of being killed or, worse, having those you love
hurt or killed.
Peter Landesman paints the full horrors of life for those victims of the sex trade in his New York Times article "
The Girls Next Door ":
Andrea told me that she and the other children she was held with were frequently beaten to keep them off-balance and obedient.
Sometimes they were videotaped while being forced to have sex with adults or one another. Often, she said, she was asked to play
roles: the therapist patient or the obedient daughter. Her cell of sex traffickers offered three age ranges of sex partners--toddler
to age 4, 5 to 12 and teens--as well as what she called a "damage group." "In the damage group, they can hit you or do anything they
want to," she explained. "Though sex always hurts when you are little, so it's always violent, everything was much more painful once
you were placed in the damage group."
What Andrea described next shows
just how depraved some portions of American society have become. "They'd get you hungry then to train you" to have oral sex. "They
put honey on a man. For the littlest kids, you had to learn not to gag. And they would push things in you so you would open up better.
We learned responses. Like if they wanted us to be sultry or sexy or scared. Most of them wanted you scared. When I got older, I'd
teach the younger kids how to float away so things didn't hurt."
Immigration and customs enforcement agents at the Cyber Crimes Center in Fairfax, Va., report that when it comes to sex, the appetites
of many Americans have now changed. What was once considered abnormal is now the norm. These agents are tracking a
clear spike in the demand for harder-core
pornography on the Internet . As one agent noted, "We've become desensitized by the soft stuff; now we need a harder and harder
hit."
This trend is reflected by the treatment many of the girls receive at the hands of the drug traffickers and the men who purchase
them. Peter Landesman interviewed Rosario
, a Mexican woman who had been trafficked to New York and held captive for a number of years. She said: "In America, we had 'special
jobs.' Oral sex, anal sex, often with many men. Sex is now more adventurous, harder."
Holly Austin Smith was
abducted when she was 14 years old, raped, and then forced to prostitute herself. Her pimp, when brought to trial, was only made
to serve a year in prison.
Barbara Amaya was repeatedly sold
between traffickers, abused, shot, stabbed, raped, kidnapped, trafficked, beaten, and jailed all before she was 18 years old. "I
had a quota that I was supposed to fill every night. And if I didn't have that amount of money, I would get beat, thrown down the
stairs. He beat me once with wire coat hangers, the kind you hang up clothes, he straightened it out and my whole back was bleeding."
As David McSwane recounts in a chilling piece for the Herald-Tribune
: "In Oakland Park, an industrial Fort Lauderdale suburb, federal agents in 2011 encountered a brothel operated by a married
couple. Inside 'The Boom Boom Room,' as it was known, customers paid a fee and were given a condom and a timer and left alone with
one of the brothel's eight teenagers, children as young as 13. A 16-year-old foster child testified that he acted as security, while
a 17-year-old girl told a federal judge she was forced to have sex with as many as 20 men a night."
One particular sex trafficking ring catered specifically to migrant workers employed seasonally on farms throughout the southeastern
states, especially the Carolinas
and Georgia , although it's a flourishing business in every state in the country. Traffickers transport the women from farm to
farm, where migrant workers would line up outside shacks,
as many as 30 at a time , to
have sex with them before they were transported to yet another farm where the process would begin all over again.
This growing evil is, for all intents and purposes, out in the open.
Trafficked women and children are advertised on the internet, transported on the interstate, and bought and sold in swanky hotels.
Educate yourselves and your children about this growing menace in our communities.
Stop feeding the monster: Sex trafficking is part of a larger continuum in America that runs the gamut from homelessness, poverty,
and self-esteem issues to sexualized television, the glorification of a pimp/ho culture -- what is often referred to as the pornification
of America -- and a billion dollar sex industry built on the back of pornography, music, entertainment, etc.
Call on your city councils, elected officials and police departments to make the battle against sex trafficking a top priority,
more so even than the so-called war on terror and drugs and the militarization of law enforcement.
Stop prosecuting adults for victimless "crimes" such as growing lettuce in their front yard and focus on putting away the pimps
and buyers who victimize these young women.
Finally , the police need to do a better job of training,
identifying and responding to these issues; communities and social services need to do a better job of protecting runaways, who are
the primary targets of traffickers; legislators need to pass legislation aimed at prosecuting traffickers and "johns," the buyers
who drive the demand for sex slaves; and hotels need to stop enabling these traffickers, by providing them with rooms and cover for
their dirty deeds.
That so many women and children continue to be victimized, brutalized and treated like human cargo is due to three things: one,
a consumer demand that is increasingly lucrative for everyone involved -- except the victims; two, a level of corruption so invasive
on both a local and international scale that there is little hope of working through established channels for change; and three,
an eerie silence from individuals who fail to speak out against such atrocities.
But the truth is that we are all guilty of contributing to this human suffering. The traffickers are guilty. The consumers are
guilty. The corrupt law enforcement officials are guilty. The women's groups who do nothing are guilty. The foreign peacekeepers
and aid workers who contribute to the demand for sex slaves are guilty. Most of all, every individual who does not raise a hue and
cry over the atrocities being committed against women and children in almost every nation around the globe -- including the United
States -- is guilty.
How many teenage drug addicts and runaway die a year with out the police doing anything when they are found dead of an overdose
with a man 40 years their senior???
The penalties for this need to be really severe -- capital punishment should be on the table in every case.
One day, when the law fails too much for too long, folks will get out their 2nd Amendment hardware and start to take back their
streets and their cities and their lives and that will be when all of the **** starts coming to a halt.
I'd like to see the sources of data in this story. I find most of it hard to believe. Everything now is so exaggerated and
over the top. A man has to be out of his mind to have sex with an underage girl. In my state, it is probably a 30 year prison
sentence, not to mention being in possession of kiddy ****. I'm sure it is a problem but nothing like that portrayed in this sensationalizing
article. I've been in every big city in the US and I've never seen a hooker that is obviously underage.
If you have enough money and are part of the protected class, you can do anything you want.
Pizzagate would have blown the whole thing wide open. Wall St tycoons, politicians, celebrities, all part of a massive operation.
The story was quickly buried because it would have brought about a total revolution. It also would have tanked the stock market
as the CEOs of a lot of Fortune 500 companies would go down.
Behind it all are the Tribesmen who see those who aren't them as livestock to feed those who want and will pay handsomely for
it.
There is no doubt in my mind that Tim Cook has a harem of adolescent boys. People think Kevin Spacey is a pig, bit they have
no idea. The moral depravity of high society in today's world is unfathomable to most people. They simply can not believe it because
they are hopelessly naive.
this is not the "protected class" paying 50$ for little kids. The protected class pays much more if they pay at all and they
get "volunteers" in many cases.
this is ordinary shitheads paying for child slavery

well as to top Israeli politicians, including past and present prime ministers with deep ties

"One of those businessmen working for the Mossad, Robert Maxwell, { ] who was a business
partner of Mega Group co-founder Charles Bronfman, aided the successful Mossad plot to plant
a trapdoor in U.S.-created software that was then sold to governments and companies
throughout the world. That plot's success was largely due to the role of a close associate of
then-President Ronald Reagan and an American politician close to Maxwell, who later helped
aid Reagan in the cover-up of the Iran Contra scandal.

M. Illoinen – I completely agree with you, innocent until proven guilty. I assume
that you are referencing my post. When the Powers finally arrested the slippery Al Capone,
they had him on tax evasion. They wanted him for a host of crimes. They had the evidence for
tax evasion and went with that. These characters have ruined many innocent lives and have
gotten away with it.
At this stage, I welcome any arrest of these greased pigs on any charges they want to file
against them. If it's the Epstein case, that's certainly O.K. with me.
"... Ehud Barak, 77, a former prime minister and defense minister, received some $2.3 million in payments from [the Wexner] foundation associated with Mr. Epstein from 2004 to 2006, and Mr. Epstein invested a reported $1 million in a limited partnership established by Mr. Barak in 2015 . . . ..."

Epstein's relationship with Ehud Barak, the former PM who is now trying to stage a comeback
in Israel, has become
an issue in the Israeli campaign, the New York Times reports. Epstein made what
appear to be shadowy investments with Barak.
Ehud Barak, 77, a former prime minister and defense minister, received some $2.3 million
in payments from [the Wexner] foundation associated with Mr. Epstein from 2004 to 2006, and
Mr. Epstein invested a reported $1 million in a limited partnership established by Mr. Barak
in 2015 . . .
"I never took part in any party or event with women or anything like that," Mr. Barak
said, adding that in Mr. Epstein's house he had met the
heads of leading American universities, philanthropists, Nobel Prize winners , older
women from academia, business and law, and political figures from the Clinton, Obama and
Trump circles . . .
Mr. Barak does not dispute having received some $2.3 million in three installments from
the Wexner Foundation, an Ohio-based nonprofit, and its founder, Leslie H. Wexner, a retail
mogul and a former close
associate of Mr. Epstein's and an investor in his financial company.
Mr. Epstein was a trustee of the Wexner Foundation and one of its main donors.
The payments were registered as compensation for research, but Mr. Barak has refused to
divulge any details about the research, saying that doing so could harm his future
business
Rabbi Elka Abrahamson, the president of the Wexner Foundation, which provides development
training for Jewish volunteer leaders and Israeli public figures, has declined to say what
the research payments were for.
One of Epstein's investments in Barak, in 2015, would seem to have intelligence
applications.
Israeli news media has reported that the investment was about $1 million. Mr. Barak's
company, Carbyne, formerly known as Reporty Homeland Security, specializes in emergency
response geo-location and live video-streaming
This brings up the intelligence angle. Federal investigators found an Austrian passport in
Epstein's NY mansion with a fake name and listing an address in Saudi Arabia that Epstein
reportedly used to enter four countries, "France, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Saudi
Arabia."
The scandal at the heart of the new prosecution is that Epstein served only a year or so in
jail on Florida solicitation charges in 2007-2008, even as his lawyers cut a non-prosecution
plea deal from the feds on more serious charges. Dershowitz
was a lawyer on that team . Former US attorney Alexander Acosta cut that deal, and resigned
as Labor Secretary last week when it became an issue.
As the Daily Beast
reports, Acosta said he went light on Epstein because of an intelligence connection.
He'd cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein's attorneys because he had "been
told" to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. "I was told Epstein 'belonged to
intelligence' and to leave it alone," he told his interviewers in the Trump transition, who
evidently thought that was a sufficient answer and went ahead and hired Acosta. (The Labor
Department had no comment when asked about this.)
The speculation about Epstein's connections includes the fact that he was associated closely
with a woman who allegedly helped bring him girl victims, Ghislaine Maxwell, who (as this
news
aggregator notes ), "is the daughter of Robert Maxwell, the media mogul who died under
mysterious circumstances in 1991. Investigative reporter Seymour Hersh alleged in his book
The Samson Option: Israel's Nuclear Arsenal and American Foreign Policy that Maxwell
was tied to the Israeli Mossad. Hersh was sued for the allegation, but then received
an apology ."
One theory circulating among prominent Republicans is that Epstein was a Mossad agent.
Another is that the George W. Bush White House directed Acosta not to prosecute Epstein to
protect Prince Andrew on behalf of the British government, then the U.S.'s closest ally in
the Iraq war.
In Epstein's
2004-2005 address book (published by Gawker) Israel has a listing among several countries
(including Switzerland, Italy, France, Kenya, and Brazil). The Israel file includes
future-prime-minister Ehud Olmert.
Several Israel supporters are in that address book, including former Murdoch news exec Gary
Ginsberg, who wrote speeches for
Netanyahu and is on the board of the Genesis Foundation, which gives prizes to Israel's
friends. Also Ron Perelman, a financier and supporter of Israel.
The only thing we can be sure of in this case is that more names are likely to come out, and
more speculation about how Epstein became such a wealthy international player when his
financial chops were questionable to say the least.
Thanks to David Samel, Donald Johnson, and Adam Horowitz.
When Jeffrey Epstein was arrested last week, prosecutors say authorities found an expired
1980s passport, issued by an undisclosed foreign country, with Epstein's photo, a different
name than his, and an address listed in Saudi Arabia, Stephnie Gosk reports.

comment-renderer-text-content expanded"> Kudos to Miami Herald News You stuck to your
story you said your story and you never gave up To all the victims the little girls who were
in this ordeal God will be with you Stay strong and focused It's your turn for justice put
them behind bars
A safe in a $77 million home filled with cash, pedophilia, fake passports and diamonds...
Dude is a walking crime novel. I have no doubt that he's probably bribing the judge,
prosecutors and law enforcement right now as we speak.
In 2014 an onshore branch of Epstein(he is royal family also) was raided by local pd in
Miami. Everyone interviewed identified prince Andrew as the "boss". he was booked and a few
hours later doj showed up & drove him to airport where he left the country. The lady in
this article filed charges against Andrew for raping her at age 14 and after. A local Female
judge said her testimony was irrelevant and had had her statements stricken from the records.
All this was reported in Miami newspapers but the fake deep state media quashed it all.. I
read all this in the papers there as it happened. these are facts.
Epstein/Andrews activities went unchecked for over a decade as the operation contributed
millions from their profits to local and state police and protected the elected who
frequented this all pedophile operation, Hillary was also a customer.
The truth is that sexual abuse by the rich and famous transcends all political boundaries.
Bill Clinton was very frequently on Epstein's plane and Epstein joins the very long list of
those connected to the Clintons who died in dubious circumstances.
Two coincidences – the first being the bruise marks on the neck sustained in Epstein's
first "suicide attempt" in jail – remind me of the case of John Ashe, the senior official
very close to the Clintons who died with bruise marks on his neck, when he accidentally
dropped his barbell on his throat while bench-pressing alone at home.
Ashe was charged and awaiting trial for receiving corrupt funds from businessman Ng Lap Seng
while Ashe was serving in the USA's turn as president of the UN General Assembly. Ng Lap Seng,
a six-time visitor to the Clinton White House, had previously been accused of making very large
illegal
donations to Clinton campaign funds, and was subsequently arrested while entering the USA
with over $4 million in cash. Unlike the Clintons, Ashe was charged with taking Seng's money
and rather like Epstein may have had an interesting song to sing while going down, had he not
conveniently dropped the barbell on his throat.
I said that the first thing that jogged me to link the Epstein/Clinton and the Ashe/Clinton
cases was the bruise marks on the throat. The second is that both stories have been debunked by
self-proclaimed "conspiracy-busting" website Snopes – in a manner which shows that Snopes
has no regard for the truth whatsoever.
In the case of John Ashe, Snopes wrote an utterly
tendentious piece of "myth-busting" which stated that it was a myth that Ashe's death
occurred shortly before his trial and that he was not due to testify against the Clintons.
Snopes failed to mention that Ashe, a very senior Clinton appointee, was charged with taking
corrupt money from precisely the same man who had been very widely accused of giving corrupt
money to the Clintons. And while it was true his trial was not imminent, his pre-trial
deposition was.
In the Epstein/Clinton case Snopes wrote a piece debunking the
notion that this is a photograph of Bill Clinton on Epstein's private jet.
Snopes sets out to prove that this is not Epstein's private jet but that of another
billionaire, and that the girl is not Rachel Chandler. For the sake of argument I am prepared
to accept what they say on both counts. But is the sensible reaction to that photo to say "Oh
that's OK it's another billionaire's jet" or to say "Why is Bill Clinton on a billionaire's
private jet in an intimate pose with a worryingly young female?" As with the Prince Andrew
photo, although it has been circulating for years, no alternative innocent explanation is on
offer.
Passion for Sexual Exploitation
And the fact that this is another billionaire's plane should open again the much wider
question of networks of the rich and the powerful indulging each other's passion for sexual
exploitation of the young. It is a great shame that in the U.K., the Establishment has been
able to characterize the falsifications of Carl Beech as discrediting the entire notion of
historical child sexual abuse. It is as though one person making up stories about a bishop
would mean there was never child exploitation in the Catholic Church.
The deeper question is why such a significant proportion of the rich and powerful have a
propensity to want to assuage their sexual desires on the most vulnerable and powerless in
society, as opposed to forming relationships among their peers. I suspect it is connected to
the kind of sociopathy that leads somebody to seek or hoard power or wealth in the first
place.
It is not necessary to develop that idea further, to understand that the Epstein case had
given us a glimpse of criminal sexual behavior which, beyond doubt, involves many powerful
people. It is essential that the threads that can be grasped are now worked on assiduously to
uncover the entire network.
I am afraid to say I suspect the chances of that actually happening are very slim
indeed.

Famous people are asked to pose for pictures with others constantly. This is a rather thin
reed to base a murder for hire charge. Let's provide more information and less innuendo. The
rich and famous have left many shallow graves in their wake that warrant investigative
digging. I sometimes think this kind of diversion serves their interests

True. However, why did the Clinton's continue to do "business" with Epstein AFTER he was
convicted?
The real question for me is why these people do not just pay for high priced beautiful
prostitutes of legal age rather than risk their reputation, standing in society and possible
jail time and law suits rather than by satisfying their sexual desires on underage and
vulnerable children. The only answer that comes to mind is that there are people out their
that are willing to provide these children for free in exchange for favors of money, power,
political policy or some gain from blackmail.
I have dated fairly wealthy women and some that were lobbyists. I was surprised at the
sense of entitlement from both the lobbyist and the veteran politicians in the way they did
business. I understood quickly it was very much of the culture in the environment in which
they worked. Every one was motivated to cower to each other for their own self interest
whether it was maintaining or furthering their political career or enlarging their money
interests by representing their clients that wanting to serve their own self interest in the
political process.
To me the whole underlying common denominator is that there is no accountability for their
actions and because of it they are able to maintain there behavior without any risk of
sacrifice.
I remember in school the saying laws exist to prevent chaos in society, but it matters not
if laws are enacted if they are not enforced to everyone equally. That statue of the lady of
justice wearing a blindfold to represent justice equally for all I never seen in person but I
have a feeling she is either a bundle of money behind her back or seeking a lucrative
political appointment.

The fact that Slick Willy would let his picture be taken with his arm around that pathetic
young girl shows how above the law and social norms he thinks he is. On the other hand, if

I doubt very much that Bill Clinton worries about what Hillary "thinks" -- if she had any
morals, she would have left him when
the Monica Lewinsky affair became public. She didn't -- because she's in it for the MONEY
Jewish economist Murray Rothbard contrasts "deep" conspiracy theories with "shallow" ones.
According to Rothbard, a shallow theorist observes an event and asks, who benefits? He or she
then jumps to the conclusion that the posited beneficiary is responsible for covertly
influencing events. Under this theory, Israel benefiting from the events of 9/11 made it into a
prime suspect. This is often a completely legitimate strategy and is exactly how detective and
investigative researchers operate. In order to identify the culprit, they may well ask who
would benefit from the crime. Of course this is only a first step towards substantiation.
According to Rothbard the "deep" conspiracy theorist begins with a hunch and then seeks out
evidence. Rothbard describes deep conspiracy theory as the result of confirming whether certain
facts actual fit one's initial 'paranoia.' This explanation pretty much describes a lot of how
science works. Any given scientific theory defines the realm of facts that may support or
refute its validity. Science is a deductive reasoning process, so that in science, it is the
theory that defines the relevance of the evidence. Would Rothbard describe Newtonian physics as
'deeply conspiratorial'? I doubt it. My guess is that, bearing Rothbard in mind, attributing a
'conspiratorial nature' to a theory is an attempt the deny the relevance of the evidence it
brings to light.
If for instance, the theory that Epstein was a Mossad agent is 'conspiratorial,' then the
facts that he was a business partner of Ehud Barak and
involved in a company that uses Israeli military intelligence tactics become irrelevant. The
same applies to former Federal Prosecutor Alex Acosta's admission that Epstein belonged to
intelligence and that was why he was the beneficiary of a laughable plea deal. If, for
example, the theory that it was the Jews who led the 1917 Bolshevik revolution is
'conspiratorial,' then the facts regarding the demography that led
the revolution and its criminal nature are of no
consequence.
The labelling of a theory as conspiratorial is an attempt to erase uncomfortable evidence by
reprioritising the relevance of certain facts.
I don't get it. Either Maher is part of the thinking class that has lost it's mind, or
he's a destructive, cynical (familyblog) who is deliberately inflaming his 'Liberal
Goodthinking' audience and gaslighting Wilkerson.
The LIberal Goodthinkers have gone so crazy they are making Trump look good.
Dangerous times.
PS: Thanks for term "Liberal Goodthinkers". Pretty good.
It's the thinking class versus the deplorables. And the former is enabling the latter in
no uncertain terms. This period of lunacy won't be forgotten come voting time. Whereas, had
the dems gracefully accepted defeat and concentrated on real issues that concern us all, they
might have had a shot at the midterm merrygoround. Instead, they chose to keep the failed
slurs of the last campaign a topic of conversation all the way through, as in fact the term
'transition' on these boards does as well. Transition = transitory.
Something is making Trump a very viable stayer through these turbulent times, and the
minefield that these people have turned being President into is a sad commentary on the state
of our union. But like the sanctions that are unthinkingly dispersed hither and yon, the
blowback can be supercharged, and I can't think of more worthy recipients.
Maher was a long time libertarian, and with the rightward shift of Team Blue and medical
Marijuana (after all we still need to arrest minorities), Bill became a "liberal" type. He's
still the same POS he was in the 90's.
Bingo! How he ever fooled anyone into thinking he was less than a narcissistic,
libertarian. money grubbing sociopath is beyond me. First time I saw him, way back when, he
was railing against Social Security and he is perhaps most responsible for making a celebrity
out of Arianna Huffington, giving her a nationwide pulpit on his original show when she was
repulsively right-wing.

Media
tycoon and former Labour MP Robert Maxwell (father of Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's
partner in crime) was given a state funeral in Jerusalem after *accidentally* falling off his
yacht – the unluckily named "Lady Ghislaine". Later it was revealed Maxwell Sr was a
Mossad asset who used his vast network of connections and publishing platforms to run editorial
interference over his purchased assets to influence enemies and friends alike, ensuring their
fealty to the foreign government that had enlisted him for its espionage work.
His tabloid empire was the piss-colored propaganda organ of the interests he served,
overseeing its rapid growth and tentacled reach across the globe. More ominously, he was behind
the spy agency's successful attempt to install a trapdoor in software intended for government
use, allowing the Israelis a direct pipeline into a vast network of computers installed with
undectable malware.
At the time of his death, the disgraced magnate was under investigation for raiding his
companies' pension funds to cover the losses incurred from his multiple and reckless takeovers,
and finance a luxury lifestyle he enjoyed sharing with high profile pals like Henry Kissinger
and Barbara Walters. Curiously, many of these fossilized specimens from Robert Maxwell's roster
of friends from the Reagan era would circle around Epstein, most notably Donald Trump whose
Mar-a-Lago resort would later become a recruiting center for employer Epstein's underage
"massage therapists".
Fast forward a couple of decades since the days a casino mogul was gobbling down
canapés with the old guard denizens of the 'swamp'. Notice a similar, if not identical
MO in both Maxwell and Epstein's role in procuring technology for the Israelis, who in turn
sold it with undisclosed add-ons, providing an open window into its users' databases.
Like his predecessor, Epstein had a financial stake in a startup (headed by former Israeli
Defense Minister and later Prime Minister Ehud Barak) connected to Israel's defense industry
that provides infrastructure for emergency services as a call handling platform. Considering
the company's connection to military intelligence, it wouldn't be a stretch to speculate on
some of this software's other 'special' features.
A variation of the early technology that
Maxwell was able to procure for his Israeli bosses was later sold to the Saudis, who leveraged
its sophisticated tracking features to assassinate Jamal Khashoggi.
Epstein, like Maxwell, was laying the groundwork for Israeli espionage activities through
his interests in companies with a political agenda concealed in products intended for
international export. If true, the playboy philanthropist feted and flattered his high profile
friends to ensnare them as complicit partners in what amounts to the legal definition of
treason. Epstein's covert activities have undiminished real world consequences for anyone on
Israel's international radar, especially those challenging the status quo policies in place
that prioritize "The Jewish State's" political and financial objectives over actual justice and
global stability.
If you have ever asked yourself why Israel's war crimes and settlement expansion go
unchallenged by US lawmakers, consider the career destroying consequences contained within
those dossiers compiled by the braintrust behind Epstein's 'suicide'. "We'll trade you one US
Embassy in Jerusalem for 10 minutes of hidden camera footage of you . . . let's say 'enjoying'
a rolled up Forbes magazine".
Were the surveillance apparatuses installed throughout Epstein's properties merely a
voyeur's tools, or did he use them to leverage the moral failings of his former friends for
purposes that might have risked exposure of more than the nether regions of wealthy
pedo-punters? Considering his connections to Israeli defense industries and his own Achilles
penis that required, by his own admission, "three orgasms a day", the answer points to an
unslakable addiction that dovetailed conveniently with his state-sponsored sex crimes.
Did Epstein make the same mistake of Maxwell (who had asked for nearly half a billion dollar
in "loans" from his Israeli backers to relieve him of his mounting debts) believing the dirt he
had in his possession would prove radioactive if released? By this time, the corpulent tycoon
was nicknamed the 'Bouncing Czech' a reference in most part to his worsening money woes. The
implication of this request, if turned down, was the exposure of Israel's state secrets.
Epstein could have also attempted to collateralize the cache of damning evidence still in his
possession to secure his his freedom with the same fatal consequences.
Both Maxwell and Epstein somehow evaded the electronics that linked them to the outside
world at the time of their deaths, even though the latter had reportedly made an attempt on his
own life while in custody. Both men, facing ruination and serious prison time gave their
executioners an alibi: They had nothing to left to live for. The establishment media is already
trotting out ancient, ding-a-ling conspiracy theories from obscure right wing sources
(attributed to Russia, of course) to highlight the absurdity and futility of questioning the
official story of Epstein's death. Verdict: Nothing to see here.
By now, it's a given that the parasitic and preferred daughter of the deceased tycoon, made
the fateful introduction between her new boyfriend and the Israeli operatives seeking an entry
level plutocrat to carry out their blackmail operations after the untimely death of his
predecessor. An impoverished socialite has to survive in pricey Manhattan somehow, and that
somehow was re-establishing the shady connections to the espionage underworld that had
recruited Maxwell Sr.
Ghislaine's later role as Epstein's Chief Procurement Officer (or pimp for short) gives more
credence to the rumors that she is more than just a debased, barnacle-like appendage to a
billionaire, desperate to please her platonic partner by "organizing his social life", but a
fully cognizant co-conspirator in an operation aimed at strengthening Israel's hand in all
matters pertaining to its national security interests, or more accurately, its overseas
criminal enterprises.
The recent raid on Epstein's Manhattan apartment was not the result of a so-called Justice
Department righting the egregious wrong it committed by letting Epstein off with a slap on the
wrist after his initial conviction that allowed him to serve his sentence largely outside the
minimum-security facility with an open door policy for its billionaire guest. More likely, the
reversal of Epstein's "sweetheart" deal was a joint operation between the oligarch cabal
informally known as the Mega-Group, and the state security apparatuses that do their
bidding.
It's seems likely that this sudden pivot towards justice from a Justice Department initially
spooked into inaction by the spook in his custody, was motivated by the need to remove the most
damning bits among Epstein's vast trove of physical evidence against the pervy punters who
visited his island getaway for unintended photo ops with underage girls.
Perhaps his own abuse of these minors was a perk he felt entitled to, and one that would be
overlooked in the service of "national security". It's hard for most people to differentiate
between the government he actually worked for and the ruling establishment on his home
turf.
It's possible that Epstein felt his serial transgressions were merely par for the plutocracy
and justified in the service of a higher calling.
The 'Israel First' philanthropist shared an unyielding ideological justification for his own
criminality as Robert Maxwell, whom the British Home Office had considered recruiting for its
own intelligence gathering in the mid 1960's. Having determined that the well-connected,
multilingual, rising star politician was strictly "Zionist", the spy agency withdrew his
candidacy.
Epstein's real crimes had little to do with raping children, despite the overturned plea
deal that came about when a federal judge ruled that prosecutors had violated the victims
rights by by concealing the agreement from them. The one time teflon-coated "member of
intelligence" who was "above the pay grade" of a powerful District Attorney (now a now
scandal-tainted former Labor Secretary) was ultimately (and lethally) penalized for not
destroying the contents of his secret-laden safes, leaving his handlers still vulnerable to
their explosive contents.
Had the doomed financier divested himself of the toxic assets still in his possession, he
might still be roaming the earth today, scouring it for new specimens to populate his underage
petting zoo. As a result of the Justice Department's decision to reverse the non-prosecution
deal meant to bury the most incendiary facts of the case, lower-rung punters like former
governor Bill Richardson and Senator George Mitchell are being publicly named for their part in
the sordid scandal. Someone has to take the fall. (Rule number one of PR crisis management:
Crucify the insignificant and let them hang out to dry until the public tires of watching the
slow motion spectacle of their undoing.) Meanwhile, documented and/or photographic evidence
against more powerful players like Bill Clinton and Donald Trump will have already been
destroyed in the pursuit of selective justice.
The fallout of Epstein's spectacular downfall predictably miss the mark as scandals
involving the rich and powerful tend to do. Much of the controversy will dissolve into a
Cheetoh dust maelstrom of disinformation, disseminated on Reddit and 4Chan by incel
info-warriors before shooting up a shopping mall or playground.
Subsequent reporting of the case will overlook decades of the elite-driven state craft that
elevated corrupt and ruthless entities like Epstein and Trump, both ring-kissing acolytes in
their youth of influential mob fixer/politcal power broker Roy Cohn – himself a serial
sexual predator who similarly caught the fancy of fellow deviants Joe McCarthy and J. Edgar
Hoover. Follow the money trail from Tel Aviv and you'll discover an ancestral link between the
corpse of Epstein and his ghostly godfathers waiting with his rewards in hell.
Along with the other disgraced and expendable patsies left in the wake of this ongoing
scandal is Alan Dershowitz, Epstein's octogenarian chief legal counsel and 'wing man' aboard
the Lolita Express. The now unemployable cable news pundit will live out the remainder of his
pointless life under a cloud of suspicion. Despite all the damning testimony against him, the
statutory rape allegations never quite stick, but follow him around like a sneaky fart, forcing
a distance between himself and the rest of humanity that will last until he is engulfed by the
sulfurous fumes of his own making.
The former Harvard law professor's lifelong service to Israel will go unrewarded – not
as a result of victim testimony placing him at multiple crime scenes, but in consideration of
his own inept self-defense strategy: "I'm a scurvy rat aboard a sinking ship eating its own
tail to stay alive. Pity me"! Dershowitz at this point will be lucky if he can achieve the same
pay grade and social status of Lindsay Lohan. Ditto for Prince Andrew who can at least be
relied on to expire slowly of gout in his time-out corner at Windsor Castle.
The moral of this story could be "Lie down with dogs and never wake up agan with a
prison-issued sheet around your neck". A variation of the old "Lie down with dogs and and wake
up as fish food".
Following the death of Jeffrey Epstein, his seedy network of friends and potential
co-conspirators alike have come into the spotlight.
One associate, considered to be Epstein's closest pal, is modeling maven Jean-Luc Brunel - who
has recently been accused of pimping underage women around the world through his Mc2 and Karin
modeling agencies, while former models have accused the 72-year-old of
drugging and
date-raping girls
,
according to the
Daily
Beast
.
How close were Brunel and Epstein?
Brunel was one of the financier's
most frequent male associates
. The agent
appears
more than 15 times on flight logs from Epstein's private plane
, jetting
everywhere from Paris to New York, often in the presence of young women.
He visited
Epstein nearly 70 times in jail
, according to visitor logs, and several more times
while the financier was on house arrest in Palm Beach. According to one of Epstein's housemen,
Brunel was comfortable enough to whip up his own meals in the financier's kitchen
,
and was one of Epstein's most frequent callers. -
Daily
Beast
Brunel's name appeared in a cache of court documents unsealed earlier this month, having called
and left a message to let Epstein know that he "just did a good one - 18 years" who reportedly told
him "I love Jeffrey."
"He has a teacher for you to teach you how to speak Russian," reads another note from September
2005, which adds "
She is 2 X 8 [16] years old not blonde
. Lessons are free and you
can have 1st today if you call."
Epstein also extended a $1 million letter of credit to Brunel which was used to invest in
Paris-based Elite Models. According to the
Beast,
"The venture, E Management, was first
registered by Epstein's attorney, who listed its address as 457 Madison Avenue -- the same as
Epstein's investment firm, J. Epstein & Co."
Brunel says the venture fell apart after Elite Models learned of Epstein's sex-trafficking
allegations - with the agent even suing Epstein in 2015 for tarnishing their reputation and causing
a "tremendous loss of business."
At least two people say Brunel not only knew about the
sex trafficking,
he was actively participating in it
.
Virginia Roberts (now Giuffre) -- one of the first alleged victims to speak out against Epstein
after he was granted a sweetheart plea deal -- claimed in legal filings that
Brunel was
one
of many powerful men
she was forced to sleep with in her years as Epstein's "sex slave."
She also accused Brunel of using his agency to find foreign girls, obtain visas for
them, and "farm them out to his friends, including Epstein
."
"A lot of the girls came from poor countries or poor backgrounds, and he lured them in with a
promise of making good money," Giuffre said in a 2015 affidavit. "
Jeffrey Epstein has
told me that he has slept with over 1,000 of Brunel's girls, and everything that I have seen
confirms this claim.
" -
Daily
Beast
"
My assumption was that Jean-Luc Brunel got the girls from Eastern Europe (as he
procured many young foreign girls for Epstein). They were young and European looking and sounding
,"
said Guiffre while describing an orgy she says she was forced to participate in on Epstein's 'pedo
island.'
In a 1988
60 Minutes
piece, several American models who worked with Brunel
spoke
of being plied with drugs
and taken to parties with older men
.
"My sense, based upon the allegations, is that Jean-Luc was a predator, his group was a
predator, and they used their tools of power and leverage to force sex from women who otherwise
might not be willing to engage in it," one of the reporters from the
60 Minutes
piece told
the
Daily Beast
.
Former model Thysia Huisman was 18-years-old when
she says Brunel sexually assaulted her
after giving her a spiked drink
.
"
I recall him lying on top of me, me trying to push him off,
" she said in an
interview. "I remember trying to move, but not really being able to. Like almost being paralysed. I
heard the sound of my blouse – a black blouse – ripping. I had a black skirt, too. I felt him –
this is difficult – between my legs. Pushing."
Huisman said the rest was a blur. She woke the next morning in a kimono that wasn't hers,
with soreness on her inner thighs. "I felt we had had sex," she said. "I knew. I know."
She gathered her things and fled while Brunel spoke on the telephone in the living room, she
said. Her modelling work never recovered and she embarked on a career in television, always
behind the camera.
...
"I was really ashamed," she said. Huisman said she began telling her current partner about
the incident eight years ago. He confirmed to the Guardian she then told him she was "molested"
by someone at her modelling agency, and added more details – including Brunel's name – over
time, explaining the full story about two years ago. -
The
Guardian
Another former model, Courtney Soerensen, says Brunel molested her when she was 19-years-old,
and "sabotaged" her career when she rejected him.
"He would get very handsy, start groping me, try to kiss me, try to get me to lay down on the
bed just to 'try it out'" said Soerensen. "He would try to untuck my shirt, wanting to 'see my
abs'.
He would grab my breasts and put his hand on my bottom. There was one time where he
rubbed himself up against me.
"
"
The guy was a vile pig"
says former Brunel photographer and scout Clayton
Nelson. "The girls who slept with him worked. The girls who didn't, he would tell bookers: 'I don't
want her booked for anything'."
Former MC2 bookkeeper Martina Vasquez has also accused Brunel of similar behavior, claiming that
Brunel employed scouts who would recruit teenage models from South America, Europe and the former
USSR. "
The most desirable of those teens were housed in Epstein's Upper East Side
apartments
and loaned out to wealthy clients for up to $100,000 a night, Vasquez alleged.
If they refused to be "molested," she said, they would not be paid.
(Brunel has
denied these claims and says Vasquez was fired from his agency for embezzling company funds.)"
according to the report.
Bloomberg
, meanwhile, reports that MC2 Model Management had a
growing list of
concerned corporate clients by 2014
after Brunel's ties to Epstein came to light.
By 2014, Brunel's business partner Jeff Fuller was concerned that the relationship with
Epstein could be damaging. In a letter reviewed by Bloomberg News,
Fuller told Brunel
that he was getting a "tremendous amount of worries from our clients" about the ties to Epstein
,
then went on to list as clients
Nordstrom Inc., Macy's Inc., Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman
Marcus, J.C. Penney Co., Kohl's Corp., Target Corp., Sears and Belk

Molesting children is an abominable crime, but using that
information to blackmail country leaders effects many more people.
Using blackmail to gain political control will destroy nations and
its citizens. It will destroy civilization. This Epstink plot will
destroy trust of government. Once trust is destroyed, our world is
destroyed.
Epstein dropped out of Cooper Union and NYU at age 20, but mysteriously got a job teaching
calculus and physics at the prestigious Dalton school in NYC. He was hired by then headmaster
Donald Barr (born Jewish converted to Catholicism), father of current AG William Barr. A year
later Donald Barr was forced out by a group of Dalton parents for not being "progressive"
enough and replaced by a guy named Dunnan, who was later accused of having an affair with a
teacher and also sexually molesting a 14 year old.
While at Dalton, Epstein taught the son of Bear Sterns CEO Ace Greenberg, and ended up
working at Bear Sterns. Five years later in 1981 he was fired from Bear Sterns for helping
Edgar Bronfman in an insider trading scandal, which Bronfman blamed on his (phantom) Italian
partner.
Bronfman' and his two daughters have been embroiled in the NXIVM sex scandal case.
Meanwhile, Epstein somehow got his start thanks to one major "investor", billionaire Les
Wexner, founder of the Limited, Abercombie & Fitch, Victoria's Secret etc. Bronfman and
Wexner co-founded mega, a Jewish organization that promotes Israel.
Epstein-Bronfman smells like a giant international Jew crime network that involves
blackmailing of wealthy people, celebrities and politicians for having sex with underage
girls. It's how Epstein gained his wealth. He had no money to start out. His "hedge fund" is
nothing but a fake front for billionaires to wire their ransom money, which is why it is
established offshore and so secretive. There has been two huge fires at his private island in
BVI btwn 2018 and Jan. 2019. Speculation is that lots of incriminating video footage was
burnt, but of course Epstein kept copies, and Mossad most likely has them as well. Got to
keep the blackmailing of our political and economic elites going. Israhell has a right to
exist.
One just wonders (but I have read no-one raising this question) why Epstein stopped being useful, why was his "business" dismantled.
All further steps, "suicide" comprised, are standard operation.
The scandal is about the Mega Group [Bonfman and Wexner and the assorted group of other Israel-firsters with the ties to
Mossad], Maxwells [the old embezzler and his daughter the pimp, both tied to Mossad] and Mossad: "The Spy Story at the Heart
of the Jeffrey Epstein Scandal."
The end: blackmail the "elite" clients on behalf of a foreign intelligence service.
Thanks for posting this most interesting and edifying story about Israeli decade-long, standard practice, of using sex trafficking
to blackmail and control politicians.
Although Shulamit Cohen's story is highly embellished by official historiography, she herself started working as a prostitute.
The Syrian military she trapped was Adib Al Shishkali, who went on to become Syria's president.
The young girl she used to bait her "clients" was a 14-year Armenian youngster called Lucy Kobelian.
One of Mossad' main modes of operation is prostitution. Not surprising. The Jewish tribe is
exceptional in having as its heroines a set of prostituting women -- Esther, Judith, Dalila.
No wonder that the orthodox Jews treat women like filth. All within the national tradition.
In 1967, Shulamit Cohen, Rachel Raffoul and two of the Jewish prostitutes were released
in a secret prisoner exchange after the Six Day War: they were exchanged against three
officers of the Syrian air force (the official version states that they were exchanged for
"over 500 prisoners").
Today Shula is a national hero of Israel and her story has been whitewashed and made
"apt for public consumption". She lives in the neighborhood of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish
fundamentalists, the Haredim, who are probably ignorant of her past.
And if a man and a woman are drowning in a river, first they'll save the man, "who is
obligated to perform more commandments," whereas a woman's "wisdom is only in the spindle."
In fact, "words of Torah should be burned rather than being given to women."
A man must say three blessings every day during morning prayers: He thanks God "that He
didn't make me a gentile, that He didn't make me a woman, that He didn't make me an
ignoramus."

It seems obvious that Epstein was murdered, but in reality this is just a side issue.
The MSM will happily carry on sending people down rabbit holes for ever, and ignoring the real questions.
They would like nothing more than to turn this into another JFK, where people speculate endlessly, generating more heat than
light.
Just what motivated Epstein?
Money? Vice? Paedo sex? Spying and blackmailing for Israel? All of the above?
Where did his loyalties lie?
Was he just a hired hand, an intelligence operative, another Christopher Steele? Or
was he more of a gun for hire, an Erik Prince, serving Mossad, the CIA, the Zionist Lobby, or whoever would pay him? Or was he
more of his own boss, running his own organisation in his own interests?
What about Ghislaine Maxwell?
Was she just Epstein's pimp and loyal lieutenant, carrying out his orders? Or was she
his Mossad handler, calling the shots, with Epstein as front man?
The best way to get at some semblance of the truth is to follow the money. Epstein seems to have appeared virtually out of
nowhere as a made man. Wexner appears to have gifted him a $56 million heavily bugged mansion. What does this tell us?
Surprisingly, Maxwell has not gone to ground as expected. She made an exhibition of herself in LA a few days ago,
ostentatiously eating a burger in public with a little dog in tow, reading a book about the CIA.
I think the stage is being set for an Oprah or Anderson Cooper style interview, presenting herself as the victim. Now that
Epstein is dead, it will be in the interests of a lot of people to load everything on to his deceased shoulders. "I loved
Jeffrey .but he was a monster ..he made me do terrible things ..I was frightened of him ..I'm a victim too."
This will probably be coordinated with a smear campaign against the victims, trying to dig up dirt about things like drugs,
any criminal or mental health history, and any other issues.
One interesting detail to emerge from the search of Epstein's property is that he had a painting of Bill Clinton in drag,
wearing a blue dress, like that of Monica Lewinsky, on his toilet wall. This is probably a case of gloating over the entrapment
of Clinton. This somewhat grubby little episode occurred around the time of the Oslo peace deal, when Peres, Barak and Co. were
under some pressure to negotiate seriously with the Palestinians, and facing criticism over settlements. Clinton was also under
pressure from Zionist interests to release the Jewish/ Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard, imprisoned for treason/ espionage. This is
reminiscent of the transvestite J. Edgar Hoover, who was being blackmailed by Meyer Lansky with photographs of him and Claude
Tolson wearing dresses.
Dershowitz is another highly dubious character whose involvement warrants serious scrutiny. He previously defended OJ Simson
and Spectre. He will probably spearhead a campaign to discredit the witnesses.
Fortunately, this can't be buried completely, even if Maxwell and others escape prosecution. There are a number of outstanding
civil claims which will generate even more publicity than would otherwise be the case.
It attracts attention and will do so for many days to come. There are even some usually astute people suggesting that he may not
be dead but might have been secretly whisked off somewhere and replaced with a dead look-alike.
Now, who would profit from suggesting something as insane as this?
The speculation runs rampant and feeds the spectacle. Whether he was allowed to kill himself or was killed makes little difference.
It's akin to asking who pulled the trigger that killed President Kennedy. That's a debate that was intended to go nowhere, as
it has, after it became apparent that Lee Harvey Oswald surely did not kill JFK. John Kennedy's murder in broad daylight in public
view is the paradigmatic event of modern times. It is obvious to anyone that gives minimal study to the issue that it was organized
and carried out by elements within the national security state, notably the CIA.
Their message was meant to be unequivocal and clear: We can kill him and we can kill you; we are in full control; beware. Then
they went on to kill others, including RFK and MLK. It takes little intelligence to see this obvious fact, unless you wish not to
or are totally lost in the neighborhood of make-believe.
As it was with Jack Ruby killing Lee Harvey Oswald, so it is with Epstein. There will be no trial. Nothing is really hidden except
the essential truth. Guess, debate, wonder, watch, read to your sad heart's content. You will have gotten nowhere unless you step
outside the frame of the reigning narrative.

Those of us who oppose these criminals – and there are growing numbers all over the world – must avoid being sucked into
the establishment narratives and the counter-narratives they spawn or create. We must refuse to get involved in pseudo-debates
that are meant to lead nowhere. We must reject the language created to confuse.
To arrive at this conclusion is an attest of the deepest truth a mind can grasp. If I could only talk to someone as astute
as You. This is not flattery, but the mere realization, that there is nobody in my surroundings that possesses Your ability to
make such a point.
That there are now so few people that can have this insight is the result of the absence of philosophy from our lives. It is
philosophy who opens the mind and therefore it had to be removed from society. People are well advised to look into it, to overcome
this barrage of fabricated narratives.
Tim Hall
We have little or no true understanding to the degree that propaganda has been scientifically applied (estimated number engaged
on this insidious activity 50,000 in 1991, under the all powerful Tavistock Institute) over 73 years to brainwashing and misdirecting
the populations perception of reality – your article reflects this fact. CIA, Deep State et al are simply agents of a far bigger
entity who's accumulated power and reach, built up assiduously over centuries, has now reached an unassailable level of control
over the world which it intends to effectively own.
I suggest all readers refer to the following link to appreciate the futility of humanity's current position in regard to it's
ability to resist the coming onslaught to its survival.
Edward, this sentiment is laudable, but they hold such a grip on mass psychological control that such sentiments represent
chaff on the wind.
If revolutionary change is to come, we must learn to tell a new story in language so beautiful, illuminating, and heart-rending
that no one will listen to the lying words of child molesters, mass murderers, and those who hate and persecute truth-tellers.

In Britain, the post mortem, by a Home Office pathologist, would establish the physical cause of death.
Sometimes this is delayed in waiting for toxicology results.
Probably "Suspension" (Hanging.)
Any separate injuries or existing medical conditions would be noted in the post mortem report.
In the absence of any police criminal investigation, it would then be for a Coroner's Inquest, almost certainly sitting with
a jury, to give a verdict.
Suicide, accidental death, misadventure, unlawful killing, open verdict.
It is for the Coroner's Court to examine the evidence and arrive at a verdict.
If there is doubt or uncertainty, there is the option of an Open Verdict.
Hanging could lead to a verdict of accident or misadventure in certain circumstances.
There was a case where a group of youths saw that someone had left a noose hanging from a tree in a park. One of them, larking
around, put his head in the noose and accidentally hanged himself.
The US system seems to short circuit the decision making process of the Coroner's Court.
This appears to be no more than an opinion by the medical examiner, sometimes misleadingly referred to as the Coroner.
There seems to be no equivalent to the Coroner's Court.

Media
tycoon and former Labour MP Robert Maxwell (father of Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's
partner in crime) was given a state funeral in Jerusalem after *accidentally* falling off his
yacht – the unluckily named "Lady Ghislaine". Later it was revealed Maxwell Sr was a
Mossad asset who used his vast network of connections and publishing platforms to run editorial
interference over his purchased assets to influence enemies and friends alike, ensuring their
fealty to the foreign government that had enlisted him for its espionage work.
His tabloid empire was the piss-colored propaganda organ of the interests he served,
overseeing its rapid growth and tentacled reach across the globe. More ominously, he was behind
the spy agency's successful attempt to install a trapdoor in software intended for government
use, allowing the Israelis a direct pipeline into a vast network of computers installed with
undetectable malware.
At the time of his death, the disgraced magnate was under investigation for raiding his
companies' pension funds to cover the losses incurred from his multiple and reckless takeovers,
and finance a luxury lifestyle he enjoyed sharing with high profile pals like Henry Kissinger
and Barbara Walters. Curiously, many of these fossilized specimens from Robert Maxwell's roster
of friends from the Reagan era would circle around Epstein, most notably Donald Trump whose
Mar-a-Lago resort would later become a recruiting center for employer Epstein's underage
"massage therapists".
Fast forward a couple of decades since the days a casino mogul was gobbling down
canapés with the old guard denizens of the 'swamp'. Notice a similar, if not identical
MO in both Maxwell and Epstein's role in procuring technology for the Israelis, who in turn
sold it with undisclosed add-ons, providing an open window into its users' databases.
Like his predecessor, Epstein had a financial stake in a startup (headed by former Israeli
Defense Minister and later Prime Minister Ehud Barak) connected to Israel's defense industry
that provides infrastructure for emergency services as a call handling platform. Considering
the company's connection to military intelligence, it wouldn't be a stretch to speculate on
some of this software's other 'special' features. A variation of the early technology that
Maxwell was able to procure for his Israeli bosses was later sold to the Saudis, who leveraged
its sophisticated tracking features to assassinate Jamal Khashoggi.
Epstein, like Maxwell, was laying the groundwork for Israeli espionage activities
through his interests in companies with a political agenda concealed in products intended for
international export. If true, the playboy philanthropist feted and flattered his high
profile friends to ensnare them as complicit partners in what amounts to the legal definition
of treason. Epstein's covert activities have undiminished real world consequences for anyone on
Israel's international radar, especially those challenging the status quo policies in place
that prioritize "The Jewish State's" political and financial objectives over actual justice and
global stability.
If you have ever asked yourself why Israel's war crimes and settlement expansion go
unchallenged by US lawmakers, consider the career destroying consequences contained within
those dossiers compiled by the braintrust behind Epstein's 'suicide'. "We'll trade you one US
Embassy in Jerusalem for 10 minutes of hidden camera footage of you . . . let's say 'enjoying'
a rolled up Forbes magazine".
Were the surveillance apparatuses installed throughout Epstein's properties merely a
voyeur's tools, or did he use them to leverage the moral failings of his former friends for
purposes that might have risked exposure of more than the nether regions of wealthy
pedo-punters? Considering his connections to Israeli defense industries and his own Achilles
penis that required, by his own admission, "three orgasms a day", the answer points to an
unslakable addiction that dovetailed conveniently with his state-sponsored sex crimes.
Did Epstein make the same mistake of Maxwell (who had asked for nearly half a billion dollar
in "loans" from his Israeli backers to relieve him of his mounting debts) believing the dirt he
had in his possession would prove radioactive if released? By this time, the corpulent tycoon
was nicknamed the 'Bouncing Czech' a reference in most part to his worsening money woes. The
implication of this request, if turned down, was the exposure of Israel's state secrets.
Epstein could have also attempted to collateralize the cache of damning evidence still in
his possession to secure his freedom with the same fatal consequences.
Both Maxwell and Epstein somehow evaded the electronics that linked them to the outside
world at the time of their deaths, even though the latter had reportedly made an attempt on his
own life while in custody. Both men, facing ruination and serious prison time gave their
executioners an alibi: They had nothing to left to live for. The establishment media is already
trotting out ancient, ding-a-ling conspiracy theories from obscure right wing sources
(attributed to Russia, of course) to highlight the absurdity and futility of questioning the
official story of Epstein's death. Verdict: Nothing to see here.
By now, it's a given that the parasitic and preferred daughter of the deceased tycoon,
made the fateful introduction between her new boyfriend and the Israeli operatives seeking an
entry level plutocrat to carry out their blackmail operations after the untimely death of his
predecessor. An impoverished socialite has to survive in pricey Manhattan somehow, and that
somehow was re-establishing the shady connections to the espionage underworld that had
recruited Maxwell Sr.
Ghislaine's later role as Epstein's Chief Procurement Officer (or pimp for short) gives
more credence to the rumors that she is more than just a debased, barnacle-like appendage to a
billionaire, desperate to please her platonic partner by "organizing his social life", but a
fully cognizant co-conspirator in an operation aimed at strengthening Israel's hand in all
matters pertaining to its national security interests, or more accurately, its overseas
criminal enterprises.
The recent raid on Epstein's Manhattan apartment was not the result of a so-called
Justice Department righting the egregious wrong it committed by letting Epstein off with a slap
on the wrist after his initial conviction that allowed him to serve his sentence largely
outside the minimum-security facility with an open door policy for its billionaire guest. More
likely, the reversal of Epstein's "sweetheart" deal was a joint operation between the oligarch
cabal informally known as the Mega-Group, and the state security apparatuses that do their
bidding.
It's seems likely that this sudden pivot towards justice from a Justice Department initially
spooked into inaction by the spook in his custody, was motivated by the need to remove the most
damning bits among Epstein's vast trove of physical evidence against the pervy punters who
visited his island getaway for unintended photo ops with underage girls.
Perhaps his own abuse of these minors was a perk he felt entitled to, and one that would be
overlooked in the service of "national security". It's hard for most people to differentiate
between the government he actually worked for and the ruling establishment on his home
turf.
It's possible that Epstein felt his serial transgressions were merely par for the plutocracy
and justified in the service of a higher calling.
The 'Israel First' philanthropist shared an unyielding ideological justification for his
own criminality as Robert Maxwell, whom the British Home Office had considered recruiting for
its own intelligence gathering in the mid 1960's. Having determined that the well-connected,
multilingual, rising star politician was strictly "Zionist", the spy agency withdrew his
candidacy.
Epstein's real crimes had little to do with raping children, despite the overturned plea
deal that came about when a federal judge ruled that prosecutors had violated the victims
rights by by concealing the agreement from them. The one time teflon-coated "member of
intelligence" who was "above the pay grade" of a powerful District Attorney (now a now
scandal-tainted former Labor Secretary) was ultimately (and lethally) penalized for not
destroying the contents of his secret-laden safes, leaving his handlers still vulnerable to
their explosive contents.
Had the doomed financier divested himself of the toxic assets still in his possession, he
might still be roaming the earth today, scouring it for new specimens to populate his underage
petting zoo. As a result of the Justice Department's decision to reverse the non-prosecution
deal meant to bury the most incendiary facts of the case, lower-rung punters like former
governor Bill Richardson and Senator George Mitchell are being publicly named for their part in
the sordid scandal. Someone has to take the fall. ( Rule number one of PR crisis
management: Crucify the insignificant and let them hang out to dry until the public tires of
watching the slow motion spectacle of their undoing .) Meanwhile, documented and/or
photographic evidence against more powerful players like Bill Clinton and Donald Trump will
have already been destroyed in the pursuit of selective justice.
The fallout of Epstein's spectacular downfall predictably miss the mark as scandals
involving the rich and powerful tend to do. Much of the controversy will dissolve into a
Cheetoh dust maelstrom of disinformation, disseminated on Reddit and 4Chan by incel
info-warriors before shooting up a shopping mall or playground.
Subsequent reporting of the case will overlook decades of the elite-driven state craft
that elevated corrupt and ruthless entities like Epstein and Trump, both ring-kissing acolytes
in their youth of influential mob fixer/politcal power broker Roy Cohn – himself a serial
sexual predator who similarly caught the fancy of fellow deviants Joe McCarthy and J. Edgar
Hoover. Follow the money trail from Tel Aviv and you'll discover an ancestral link between the
corpse of Epstein and his ghostly godfathers waiting with his rewards in hell.
Along with the other disgraced and expendable patsies left in the wake of this ongoing
scandal is Alan Dershowitz, Epstein's octogenarian chief legal counsel and 'wing man' aboard
the Lolita Express. The now unemployable cable news pundit will live out the remainder of his
pointless life under a cloud of suspicion. Despite all the damning testimony against him, the
statutory rape allegations never quite stick, but follow him around like a sneaky fart, forcing
a distance between himself and the rest of humanity that will last until he is engulfed by the
sulfurous fumes of his own making.
The former Harvard law professor's lifelong service to Israel will go unrewarded – not
as a result of victim testimony placing him at multiple crime scenes, but in consideration of
his own inept self-defense strategy: "I'm a scurvy rat aboard a sinking ship eating its own
tail to stay alive. Pity me"! Dershowitz at this point will be lucky if he can achieve the same
pay grade and social status of Lindsay Lohan. Ditto for Prince Andrew who can at least be
relied on to expire slowly of gout in his time-out corner at Windsor Castle.
The moral of this story could be "Lie down with dogs and never wake up again with a
prison-issued sheet around your neck". A variation of the old "Lie down with dogs and and wake
up as fish food".

Approximately three weeks before a series of damning articles hit in the
Miami Herald
,
Jeffrey Epstein paid up front to have a
$100,000
cement mixe
r express-shipped to his infamous Little St. James 'pedo island' at great expense,
according to the
Daily
Mail
.
The pedophile, who was found dead by apparent suicide on Saturday while awaiting trial for
sex trafficking, got the Carmix 5.5 XL self loading concrete mixer delivered to Little St. James
on November 7 last year
.
Epstein was in such a hurry that he paid for the machine up front so it would arrive sooner -
even though it meant being responsible if it got damaged in transit.
Three weeks later the Miami Herald published a series of articles called 'Perversion of
Justice' on November 28, which eventually led to Epstein being arrested in July.
Shipping experts told DailyMailTV that
the possibility that it was 'used to literally
cover up evidence cannot be discounted'. -
Daily
Mail
The mixer can be seen in a drone video taken by YouTube user Rusty Shackleford. It appears
buried in a storage warehouse behind some other equipment, however its barrel drum and other
distinctive features can be made out.
While Epstein's extensive construction on the island is no secret, the timing of the cement
mixer shipment - and the fact that it was express shipped, raises suspicion.
"While the purchase of the cement mixer on its own is not suspicious, particularly given the
reported and approved repair of cisterns on Little St. James, both the timing of the shipment and
the fact that it's the only item in our records shipped with an express bill of lading do raise
concerns," said shipping data analyst William George.
"The shipment arrived Epstein's island on November 7th of 2018, 21 days before Julie Brown's
expose was published in the Miami Herald and 23 days before Epstein allegedly began to try to pay
off witnesses.
Considering both the scope of Brown's article and the urgency of the
shipment, the possibility that the cement mixer was used to literally cover up evidence cannot be
discounted.
"
Many have speculated that Epstein had underground tunnels or facilities on his island, while the
drone footage reveals what appear to be several hill-side doors.
The
Mail
also notes that Epstein had a complete dentist's chair shipped to the island,
while many have observed from Shackleford's videos that Epstein
had
an ambulance
as well - which seems odd for such a small island with no known medical
facilities.
Perhaps due to the heat on from the Miami Herald reports,
which Manhattan police said
was instrumental in their investigation, Epstein
sold his infamous 'lolita
express' Boeing 727-200
just weeks before his arrest according to court filings.
Epstein, who was arrested on July 6 after returning from Paris on his Gulfstream G550 per
Bloomberg
,
sold "the other jet" in June, 2019 -
prior to his arrest
.
On other words, it looks like the financier unloaded the potentially
'evidence-rich'
aircraft
-
said to have had a bed installed where passengers reportedly had
group
sex with young girls
-
right before the hammer came down.
According to investigative journalist Conchita Sarnoff - who first revealed the former
president's extensive flights on Epstein's "lolita express" in a 2010
Daily
Beast
exposé -
former president Bill Clinton flew on the 'lolita express' no fewer than
27 times.
Clinton claimed in a
July
statement
that he only took "a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epstein's airplane" in 2002 and
2003, and that Secret Service accompanied him at all times - which Sarnoff told
Fox News
was a
total
lie
.
On Monday, the FBI and NYPD raided Little St. James island last week, packing up evidence -
however as Rusty Shackelford's videos reveal, some of it had already been moved prior to the raid.

Report: 3,000 Women
a Year Trapped in Sex Slave Industry (in Israhell)
A special Knesset committee has found that "3,000 women
are sold each year in Israel's sex industry, in transactions
with an annual volume of $1 billion." Exploitation of sex
workers includes imprisonment, and other forms of rank
coercion.
The special Knesset committee's interim report is to be
released today. It describes the sex industry as a "modern
form of slavery."
If U live on an island and U have access to a boat and some rocks
it is 1000x easier to make 'something' disappear than engaging in
a major concrete pour.
Epsteins deadmans switch have not been triggered yet. I bet you he
is still alive. All the evidence they give you are trying to make
you think he was assassinated on purpose. I hope he is being
tortured to give up all his hidden information.
JE is almost certainly alive. Decoy ambulances, no raids until
weeks afterward and not at all locations allowing cleanup after
he was extricated from 'prison' and debriefed.
Israel
involved (as are other countries) leadership and business top
guns.
Even Ghislaine (Gill-lane, silent s) has not been
interviewed as well as Wexner, Kushner(s)
et.al
..(can't forget Adnan Kasoggi
and the Jewish mob).
JE isn't stupid and has insurance policies. He's alive and
cut a deal not to use said insurance policies if allowed a
very quiet retirement.
This is as big if not bigger than 911 with close ties if not
involvement. Even Larry Silverstein is connected.
We can demand investigations until we become cyanotic but
will be given a ******** happy meal (**** sandwich) ending
served on a silver (MSM) platter.
Jared Diamond once wrote a book about this. Have you had
enough? Has public perception become a turning point?
I would safely assume Jared Diamond is Jewish. The point he
made in his book is things change after a certain percentage of
the public agree on a concept or idea.
Case in point:
Prior to Steven Spielberg making a movie about an idea
called The Holocaust. Anti Semitism was a worn out excuse used
for decades with no effect except for those in the Jewish
community.
After the film aired, public perception changed (perception
management) to favor the idea set forth in the film and now
anti-semitism is a weaponized term used for political purposes.
Anyone with any grey matter and synaptic activity should be
very concerned now. It's time.
The picture painted by the evidence
is not a direct Epstein tie to a single intelligence agency but a
web linking key members of the Mega Group, politicians (Trump
included), and officials in both the U.S. and Israel, and an
organized-crime network with deep business and intelligence ties
in both nations.
"... There's no doubt in my mind that no jail will protect you when there's powerful people that want to reach you -- wherever you are. If he's going to implicate anyone in power that has the ability to reach in and somehow get to him – his life is definitely in jeopardy. ..."
"... Epstein was a high level asset; not a low level thug. If he was killed, it sends a disquieting message to other undercover high level assets. Then again, if he was rescued (i.e swapped out) then it sends a good message. BTW ask any psychiatrist if a true narcissist would commit suicide. ..."

"I do question whether it was a true suicide attempt. I mean how do you choke
yourself? It doesn't make any sense."
Epstein is currently locked up in the Metropolitan Correctional Centre ahead of a trial
for charges of sex trafficking involving dozens of underage girls.
Epstein was a high level asset; not a low level thug. If he was killed, it sends a
disquieting message to other undercover high level assets. Then again, if he was rescued (i.e
swapped out) then it sends a good message. BTW ask any psychiatrist if a true narcissist
would commit suicide.
Can the Greatest Story Ever Told get any more bizarre? Why the endless drivel on
Epstein? I believe it's perception management and aimed at focusing on Epstein as a perverse
weirdo not to be believed, deflecting attention from the patrons of his debauchery.
Really ******* suspicious how they've moved the goal posts on that. Like that article
posted here yesterday about his former bodyguard back-tracking from a prior interview where
he stated Epstein liked younger girls and tried to stop him. Then this new interview a few
days ago the guy was saying Epstein didn't have a thing for underage girls, he just liked
women in their early-to-mid 20s. Guy was scared shitless and warned the reporter to back
off
This article contains content that some may find distressing.
Jeffrey Epstein "was" apparently a serial molester of children. He had manipulation down to an art form, as many molesters do.
He seemed to be an expert at figuring out a girl's weak point, whether it was poverty, a deceased family member, or feeling alienated
from her peers.
This is a common ploy. Many molesters seek out children or teens who have lost a parent and use this as a way to build a friendship.
Then, because children don't think like adults, they are manipulated, coerced, or threatened into sexual activity.
The story below could be told a hundred thousand times with only tiny changes. The names and the faces would be different. The
settings might not be a mansion in Manhattan or in Palm Beach but rather a quiet part of a church, a school, or some kind of activity
for teens. The setting could be in the house next door to you, where someone with evil intent befriends a vulnerable young person
with the stated goal of helping them, but an end result that couldn't be further from reality.
How 14-year-old Jennifer Araoz met Jeffrey Epstein
Jennifer Araoz was 14 years old when she first met her future rapist, Jeffrey Epstein. She wrote about how she was manipulated,
first by his recruiter, then by Epstein himself. There are many powerful lessons that we as parents can learn from her story.
During my freshman year, one of Epstein's recruiters, a stranger, approached me on the sidewalk outside my high school. Epstein
never operated alone. He had a ring of enablers and surrounded himself with influential people. I was attending a performing arts
school on the Upper East Side, studying musical theater. I wanted to be an actress and a singer. (
source )
Another
report based on court documents says that the recruiter befriended Jennifer, took her out to eat after school a few times, and
learned more about her, such as the fact that Jennifer's father had died from an AIDs-related illness and her family could barely
scrape by financially.
The recruiter told me about a wealthy man she knew named Jeffrey Epstein. Meeting him would be beneficial, and he could introduce
me to the right people for my career, she said. When I confided that I had recently lost my father and that my family was living
on food stamps, she told me he was very caring and wanted to help us financially. (
source )
The recruiter finally got Jennifer to go with her to meet Epstein. Court documents say that they all three met together for the
first month or so.
The visits during the first month felt benign, at least at the time. On my second visit, Epstein also gave me a digital camera
as a gift. The visits were about one to two hours long and we would spend the time talking. After each visit, he or his secretary
would hand me $300 in cash, supposedly to help my family. (

Epstein claimed he was 'a big AIDS activist' which you can imagine would mean a lot to a 14-year-old whose father died of the
disease.
Soon the visits would take a dark turn.
By the second month of Jennifer's visits to the mansion, the recruiter no longer attended the visits., the manipulation began
in earnest.
But within about a month, he started asking me for massages and instructed me to take my top off. He said he would need to
see my body if he was going to help me break into modeling. I felt uncomfortable and intimidated, but I did as he said. The assault
escalated when, during these massages, he would flip over and sexually gratify himself and touch me inappropriately. For a little
over a year, I went to Epstein's home once or twice a week.
After that day, I never went back. I also quit the performing arts school -- the one I had auditioned for and had wanted so
badly to attend. It was too close to his house, the scene of so many crimes. I was too scared I would see him or his recruiter.
So I transferred to another school in Queens close to my home. Since I was no longer able to pursue my dream of performing arts
I eventually lost interest and dropped out. (

Sure, we can say that she knew things weren't right when he asked her to take her top off. By this point, she was 15 years old.
Old enough to know right from wrong. But if she was getting $300 twice a week and helping her family with it, it's pretty easy to
see how she would want to continue helping her family despite her discomfort. Epstein knew exactly what he was doing.
Epstein's wealth, power, and connections would have made going against him seem like an insurmountable feat for a vulnerable 15-year-old
girl who had recently lost her father. Who would have believed her word against that of this presumed philanthropist?
A few days ago, Jennifer, now 32, filed a massive lawsuit against Epstein's estate, Ghislaine Maxwell, and 3 members of Epstein's
household staff. The complaint alleges that Maxwell and the staff "conspired with each other to make possible and otherwise facilitate
the sexual abuse and rape of Plaintiff."
Some of Epstein's victims recruited new girls for him.
Epstein's indictment explains how he manipulated some of the girls he sexually abused to bring other girls to him.
Prosecutors say he lured underage girls, some as young as 14, to his residences, promising them a cash payment in exchange
for giving him a massage. Instead, he would sexually abuse them -- groping them, making them touch him while he masturbated, and
using sex toys on the minors. Then, he would allegedly ask them to recruit other girls. (
source )
A detailed report in the Miami Herald referred to it as a "sexual pyramid scheme." One of Epstein's accusers, Courtney Wild, reiterates
the theme of the story told by Jennifer Boaz.
"Jeffrey preyed on girls who were in a bad way, girls who were basically homeless. He went after girls who he thought no one
would listen to and he was right,'' said Courtney Wild, who was 14 when she met Epstein. (
source )
Courtney's time spent with Epstein nearly destroyed her.
Before she met Epstein, Courtney Wild was captain of the cheerleading squad, first trumpet in the band and an A-student at
Lake Worth Middle School.
After she met Epstein, she was a stripper, a drug addict and an inmate at Gadsden Correctional Institution in Florida's Panhandle.
Wild still had braces on her teeth when she was introduced to him in 2002 at the age of 14.
She was fair, petite and slender, blonde and blue-eyed. (
source )
She began to recruit other girls for him in Palm Beach.
Wild said Epstein preferred girls who were white, appeared prepubescent and those who were easy to manipulate into going further
each time
"By the time I was 16, I had probably brought him 70 to 80 girls who were all 14 and 15 years old. He was involved in my life
for years," said Wild, who was released from prison in October after serving three years on drug charges.
The girls -- mostly 13 to 16 -- were lured to his pink waterfront mansion by Wild and other girls, who went to malls, house
parties and other places where girls congregated, and told recruits that they could earn $200 to $300 to give a man -- Epstein
-- a massage, according to an unredacted copy of the Palm Beach police investigation obtained by the Herald. (
source )
Epstein had it down to an art form.
Palm Beach police detective Joseph Recarey explains how Epstein insinuated himself into the girls' lives.
"The common interview with a girl went like this: 'I was brought there by so and so. I didn't feel comfortable with what happened,
but I got paid well, so I was told if I didn't feel comfortable, I could bring someone else and still get paid,' '' Recarey said.
During the massage sessions, Recarey said Epstein would molest the girls, paying them premiums for engaging in oral sex and
intercourse, and offering them a further bounty to find him more girls
Epstein could be a generous benefactor, Recarey said, buying his favored girls gifts. He might rent a car for a young girl
to make it more convenient for her to stop by and cater to him. Once, he sent a bucket of roses to the local high school after
one of his girls starred in a stage production. The floral-delivery instructions and a report card for one of the girls were discovered
in a search of his mansion and trash. Police also obtained receipts for the rental cars and gifts, Recarey said.
Epstein counseled the girls about their schooling, and told them he would help them get into college, modeling school, fashion
design or acting. At least two of Epstein's victims told police that they were in love with him, according to the police report.

You may look at these stories and scorn the victims. After all, they kept going back, didn't they? They liked the money, didn't
they?
But they were children. Many of them were isolated, vulnerable, and without support systems. Many of them felt ashamed but didn't
know how to extricate themselves. They were confused and scared, and Epstein was a pro at taking advantage of these emotions and
doubts.
The girls are not to blame here. The adults are.
Epstein is not the only predator out there.
While this article focuses on how Epstein was able to lure so many victims,
as Dagny Taggert recently wrote , there are
many more people in power out there preying on children. Clergy, priests, teachers, neighbors, musicians, and random people on the
internet are out there preying on and trafficking children.
Dagny wrote:
According to
The National
Center for Victims of Crime , the prevalence of child sexual abuse (CSA) is difficult to determine because it is often not
reported. Experts agree that the incidence is far greater than what is reported to authorities.
Statistics below represent some of the research done on child sexual abuse.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Children's Bureau report Child Maltreatment 2010 found that
9.2% of victimized children were sexually
assaulted (page 24).
1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys is a victim of child sexual abuse;
Self-report studies show that 20% of adult females and 5-10% of adult males recall a childhood sexual assault or sexual
abuse incident;
During a one-year period in the U.S., 16% of youth ages 14 to 17 had been sexually victimized;
Over the course of their lifetime, 28% of U.S. youth ages 14 to 17 had been sexually victimized;
Children are most vulnerable to CSA between the ages of 7 and 13.
According to Darkness to Light , a non-profit committed to empowering adults
to prevent child sexual abuse, only about one-third of child sexual abuse incidents are identified, and even
fewer are reported .
When my children's father passed away, it wasn't too long afterward that I left my corporate job. I volunteered when the company
began layoffs and took a small payment and my retirement fund to start a new life writing freelance. It wasn't long after that when
I started this website.
I wanted to be home when they got back from school every day. I didn't want them to seem like prey to those looking for children
with weak support systems. My own daughters could so easily have had a story like the one Jennifer has told.
I know that what I did is not possible for every family that suffers a loss. I was pretty fortunate to be able to find work from
home that paid enough to allow me to be there.
What you, as a parent, must understand are the things that make your child seem vulnerable.
Loneliness
Social isolation and few, if any, friends
Lack of a support system from parents and caregivers
Spending too much time on their own
Alienation from parents
Some signs that your child could be getting abused or groomed.
Sudden secretiveness regarding their phone or computer (a lot of grooming happens online
Spending a great deal of time alone with another adult
Signs of increased anger or fear
Lack of participation in things that used to bring them happiness
Withdrawal from family and friends
Obviously, these lists are not comprehensive, nor are they sure signs of abuse. What teenager doesn't seem angry and withdrawn
from time to time? But it's vital, no matter how hard they push you away, to stay involved, particularly after a traumatic event.
Teach your kids that some secrets should not be kept.
Predators manipulate children in all sorts of ways. One of the biggest ways is warning them to keep their "relationship" a secret
or else.
Or else what?
They'll hurt Mom or Dad
They'll hurt the child's pet
They'll hurt the child's siblings
They'll cause extreme financial problems for the family
Predators often put a burden on a child where they feel as though they must stay silent to protect the people they love.
Kids need to know that if anyone threatens them if they tell a secret, then they absolutely must tell that secret. Mom and Dad
will be safe and will protect them. People who ask children to keep their presence in their lives a secret are never to be trusted.
And finally, make sure your children know that whatever they tell you, you will believe them and you know it's not their fault.
But why Wexner and Maxwell were involved ? Wexner gave the power of attorney to Epstein, so
he essentially controlled Wexner fortune... Why such a level of trust ? Was later claims of abuse
on the part of Epstein of his privileges and stolen money 40 million of which was supposed return
to Wexner charity a part of cover-up
Philip Giralid's theory that Jeffrey Epstein was running his prostitution ring as a honeypot
operation that had his child prostitutes sexually seduce politicians so he could film the
politicians having sex with children so he could blackmail them into supporting Israel and
giving espionage information to the Mossad is ridiculous, to put it politely.
There is not only no evidence for this theory, there is also no reasonable or practical
motive for the alleged behavior, and the alleged behavior would not make sense because it is
very unlikely that any substantial number of politicians are pedophiles.
There is no reasonable or practical motive for the behavior because the Jewish political
establishment already owns our political leaders as its puppets, so it does not need to
blackmail them. T
he way it has establishment this amount of control is through forming a social network
where Jews recruit Non-Jews to do their bidding, Jews created Freemasonry as their political
agency to help them do this. Freemasonry is a political agency of Jewry, it allows Non-Jews
to join it in order to help increase Jewish political power in Non-Jewish societies, Non-Jews
who join it have to swear a loyalty oath to the organization and then form an in group
preference for other members of the Jewish led organization. Jews also use their control of
finance and banking to have this kind of political power. They do not need child prostitution
ring to sexually seduce politicians so they can blackmail them to achieve political power,
because they already control the political establishment.
Additionally, even if the Jewish political elites wanted or needed to blackmail our
political leaders, this would be a very stupid way to do it. Filming sex between an adult and
a child is a very serious crime, it actually in some cases is more serious than an adult
having sex with a child, the person threatening blackmail against the person with the film
would unless he had a very stupid victim have someone who would realize the person himself
would go to prison if he showed anyone the film, so it would not be a good way to blackmail
someone. There are much better ways to blackmail political leaders, such as finding out if
they committed financial or political crimes or if they murdered someone, that would not
involve such risks.
It is not plausible that any substantial number of politicians are pedophiles because
pedophiles usually have very limited intellectual ability, and are perhaps even borderline
mentally retarded, and pedophiles usually are mentally ill.
Dr. James Cantor, an expert on sexual perversion generally and pedophilia particularly,
stated in a YouTube video titled "The Pedophile's Brain" published on the YouTube channel
"TEDI BEAR Children's Advocacy Center" on July 19, 2015, that pedophiles on average, score
10-15 points below average on Intelligence Quotient tests.
That means that only between 16-25 percent of pedophiles are equally intelligent or more
intelligent than the average person in western countries like Britain and America. Cantor
also stated that pedophiles tend to have less white matter in their brains than the general
population does, white matter is responsible for a lot of the social understanding of the
brain and also for connecting brain regions to enable reasoning that requires connected
understanding of different topics together. He also said that 30% of pedophiles are left
handed while only 12% of the general population is left handed, this is what Darwin called a
"correlation of growth" when two phenotypic traits appear very frequently together in
biological organisms, another example cited by Darwin was that blue eyed cats are usually
deaf.
Cantor said that the only other population groups with this high rates of left handed are
autistics, schizophrenics and bipolars. Cantor concluded that what causes pedophilia is that
pedophiles have a mental problem that causes their brain to be cross wired, so that the
sexual responses are inappropriately connected with children whereas most people have a moral
inhibition against sexual attraction to children. There are two peer reviewed articles by
scientists I have read that discuss evidence autism is correlated in a causal way with
pedophilia.
They are "Paraphilic Disorder in a Male Patient with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Incidence
or Coincidence," by B. Kolta and G. Rossi, edited by A. Muocivic and J.R. Adler Cureus May
2018 and "Sexuality in autism: hypersexual and paraphilic behavior in women and men with
high-functioning autism spectrum disorder," by Daniel Schottle, Peer Briken, Oliver Tuscher
and Daniel Turner published in "Dialogues in Clinical Neuroscience," in December 2017 In the
second article, the authors stated: ""Altogether, paraphilic sexual fantasies and behaviors
were reported more frequently in male patients with ASD than in male HCs [Health Controls;
that is people who are mentally healthy and do not have autism or another mental illness].
After correcting for multiple testing, significant differences were still present in the
number of individuals reporting masochistic fantasies, sadistic fantasies, voyeuristic
fantasies and behaviors, frotteuristic fantasies and behaviors, and pedophilic fantasies with
female children"
The authors of the first article wrote: "Fernandes et al. were able to demonstrate that
30% of the low-functioning ASD patients showed some kind of inappropriate sexual behaviors,
most frequently public masturbation, indecent exposure, and inappropriate heterosexual
behaviors .
When looking at higher functioning patients with autism spectrum disorder they reported
10% demonstrated inappropriate sexual behaviors . The study also revealed that 24% of
high-functioning individuals with ASD engaged in paraphilic sexual fantasies or behaviors
including classic presentations of paraphilic disorder such as pedophilia, voyeurism, and
sadomasochism " So pedophilia is linked to both low intellectual ability, and to mental
illness.
A person needs to be highly intelligent to be a political leader, George W Bush was on the
dumb side for a political leader and his Intelligence Quotient was 124, that is the 94th
percentile, that means George W Bush is more intelligent than 94 percent of other people.
During the Nuremberg Trials all of the Nazis leaders who did anything of real importance
scored at least 120 on the Intelligence Quotient test, which means they were smarter than 90%
of other people, and the Nazis were also known for being on the dumb side for political
leaders. The idea that any substantial number of politicians are pedophiles is ridiculous
because of this, so this makes Giraldi's claim obviously ridiculous.
The monotheism of the Jew, therefore, is in reality the polytheism of the many needs, a
polytheism which makes even the lavatory an object of divine law. Practical need,
egoism , is the principle of civil society , and as such appears in pure form as
soon as civil society has fully given birth to the political state. The god of practical
need and self-interest is money .
Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist. Money degrades
all the gods of man – and turns them into commodities. Money is the universal
self-established value of all things. It has, therefore, robbed the whole world –
both the world of men and nature – of its specific value. Money is the estranged essence
of man's work and man's existence, and this alien essence dominates him, and he worships
it.
The god of the Jews has become secularized and has become the god of the world. The bill of
exchange is the real god of the Jew. His god is only an illusory bill of exchange.
The view of nature attained under the domination of private property and money is a real
contempt for, and practical debasement of, nature; in the Jewish religion, nature exists, it is
true, but it exists only in imagination.
It is in this sense that [in a 1524 pamphlet] Thomas Münzer declares it intolerable
"that all creatures have been turned into property, the fishes in the water, the birds in
the air, the plants on the earth; the creatures, too, must become free."
Contempt for theory, art, history, and for man as an end in himself, which is contained
in an abstract form in the Jewish religion, is the real, conscious standpoint, the virtue of
the man of money. The species-relation itself, the relation between man and woman, etc.,
becomes an object of trade! The woman is bought and sold.
The chimerical nationality of the Jew is the nationality of the merchant, of the man
of money in general.
The groundless law of the Jew is only a religious caricature of groundless morality and
right in general, of the purely formal rites with which the world of self-interest
surrounds itself.
@Ron Unz The suicide
of Epstein when life as he had played it was over is less surprising than that Madoff hasn't
committed suicide. And incompetence or cynical negligence in the prison service is less
surprising than your admission of familiarity with the popular culture of film and TV!
On a more constructive note let me proffer the following as a source containing some
possibly relevant information about Epstein and his mysterious wealth.
"The relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and Jewish philanthropist Leslie Wexner,
explained – Jewish Telegraphic Agency
The intelligence connection seems plausible and Mossad as the key agency but possibly
having side deals with the CIA and FBI the most plausible. But, if so, Wexner's connection to
Israeli causes is well worth examining.
( JTA ) -- One of the most befuddling
questions surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein saga is why Leslie Wexner, a billionaire
entrepreneur, entrusted all of his money to Epstein, a secretive financier with no college
degree.
For those immersed in the Jewish world, there's an added question: How did Wexner -- a
prominent philanthropist seen as a champion of Jewish learning and ethical teaching, whose
foundation has trained waves of rabbis, Jewish professionals and volunteer board leaders -- end
up so enmeshed and enamored with a future convicted sex offender and alleged sex
trafficker?
Is Wexner connected to the sex abuse accusations against Epstein? Has the philanthropist
been accused of any wrongdoing? Does any of this taint Wexner's legacy or the beneficiaries of
his many programs?
Since the Epstein sex scandal resurfaced this year, these questions have dogged Wexner, the
owner of Victoria's Secret who at one point was Epstein's only known financial client. Wexner
was very close with Epstein and trusted him as a money manager and legal representative.
Epstein, who served a year in prison and registered as a sex offender more than a decade
ago, was arrested recently and charged with sex trafficking. He was found hanged in his jail
cell on Saturday in what officials are calling
a suicide .
As the scandal has unfolded, Wexner and his associates have put out a series of statements
on Epstein and their relationship. His connection with Epstein has also led to stormy
discussions among the recipients of his largesse about the ethical dilemmas they face.
Here's a primer on how the two became so close, and why their relationship poses a dilemma
for many in the Jewish community.
Who is Leslie Wexner?
He's an 81-year-old Jewish billionaire who lives in the Columbus, Ohio, area. Wexner made
his fortune by founding The Limited, a women's clothing brand, in 1963.
Wexner has since expanded his apparel empire to include other brands, like Bath & Body
Works, Pink and, most notably, Victoria's Secret, a once-obscure lingerie store that he turned
into an empire. It's all now under the umbrella of his company, L Brands. He is the
longest-running CEO of a Fortune 500 company.
He also ventured into real estate, developing the posh community of New Albany, Ohio, where
Wexner lives in a 60,000-square-foot mansion. According to Forbes, he's worth $4.6 billion .
How much has he given to Jewish causes?
Plenty. The Wexner Foundation is among the most prominent private Jewish charities in the
world. In 2017, according to tax documents, it gave $3.6 million in charity, much (but not all)
of it to Jewish educational causes, as well as more money for educational programs.
The foundation is best known in the Jewish world for its graduate fellowship, which awards
scholarships to 20 promising graduate students in Jewish fields, including rabbinical school,
cantorial school, Jewish educational school or another degree program. More than 1,800 people
have participated in its program aimed at providing volunteer board leadership with lessons in
Jewish history, thought, texts and contemporary issues. The foundation runs a variety of other
programs, including training for Israeli public officials.
What does all of this have to do with Jeffrey Epstein?
Nothing, and everything. For decades, if Wexner spent any money, Epstein was likely
connected to it somehow. Epstein, a former prep school teacher, had entered the finance world
and gained a reputation as an astute money manager for the super-wealthy. He met Wexner in the
1980s, and the two forged a close relationship. Epstein eventually received power of attorney
over Wexner's finances.
In a statement last week distributed by
his foundation, Wexner wrote that Epstein "had wide latitude to act on my behalf with respect
to my personal finances while I focused on building my company and undertaking philanthropic
efforts." In 2003, Wexner told Vanity Fair that Epstein
had "excellent judgment and unusually high standards."
Epstein also was involved with Wexner's charitable efforts. In 1990, the two helped fund the
construction of a new building for the Harvard Hillel. Two years later, after Wexner's mother
fell ill, Epstein replaced her on the Wexner Foundation board.
In his recent statement, Wexner insisted that Epstein "had no executive responsibilities in
the running of the Foundation" and "did not work directly with Foundation staff, and he did not
engage with leadership initiatives in any way."
Sounds like they were really close.
Yes, and their relationship was more than a typical professional one. They were invested
together in Wexner's Ohio real estate development. Epstein lived in Wexner's New York City
townhouse for years, eventually acquiring it, along with acquiring a private plane from
Wexner.
Epstein also supervised the construction of Wexner's yacht, Limitless, and was a frequent
guest at Wexner's Ohio parties, according to The
New York Times . The Times also reported that Epstein froze out some of Wexner's friends
and acquaintances from his life.
When Epstein was first investigated in the
mid-2000s, for unlawful sex acts with a minor, he denied the allegations. Eventually, however,
he accepted a deal under which he pleaded guilty for two counts of solicitation of prostitution
-- one with a minor. Wexner says he broke off his relationship with Epstein in 2007 and later
found out that Epstein had taken a lot of money from him.
"This was, frankly, a tremendous shock, even though it clearly pales in comparison to the
unthinkable allegations against him now," Wexner wrote in his recent message,
regarding the financial misappropriation. "I am embarrassed that, like so many others, I was
deceived by Mr. Epstein. I know now that my trust in him was grossly misplaced and I deeply
regret having ever crossed his path."
In 2008, Epstein made a
$46 million donation to one of Wexner's charities. Wexner wrote in his letter that
"payments Mr. Epstein made to the charitable fund represented a portion of the returned monies"
Epstein had misappropriated.
According to
CNBC , Wexner has provided documents showing the financial misconduct to federal
investigators.
So has anyone implicated Wexner in Epstein's crimes? And what does this have to do with Alan
Dershowitz?
Wexner's name has been dragged into an ongoing legal battle between Alan Dershowitz and one
of Epstein's accusers, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, and her lawyers.
Dershowitz had his own personal and professional relationship with Epstein.
They were close (Dershowitz has said he loved talking with Epstein and would show him
drafts of his books) and the high-profile lawyer has helped represent Epstein. Epstein once
brought Dershowitz to one of Wexner's parties -- as, Dershowitz says, an " intellectual
gift " to Wexner.
Two of Epstein's alleged victims, including Giuffre, have accused Dershowitz of sexual
assault,
which he denies . Dershowitz claims that the accusations against him were part of a plot by
one of Giuffre's attorneys, David Boies, to extort money from Wexner.
According to a report in the Miami Herald ,
another of Giuffre's lawyers, Stanley Pottinger, submitted an affidavit saying his client said
that under Epstein's direction, she had sex with both Dershowitz and Wexner.
But New York
magazine reported that "Boies had three conversations with Wexner's lawyers in 2015, after
which the allegations were quietly dropped." Boies asserted in an affidavit that "no settlement
demand was ever made, or even discussed."
Some of Epstein's alleged abuse occurred at the Manhattan townhouse once owned by Wexner,
where Epstein lived. Another Epstein accuser, Maria Farmer, said Epstein hired her to work on a
mural at Wexner's home in Ohio in the summer of 1996, and assaulted her there. In an
affidavit , she asserted that "Wexner's security staff refused to let me leave the
property" and that she was held against her will for approximately 12 hours.
Farmer said that after returning to New York, she filed a report with the police and the
FBI.
Farmer's affidavit does not suggest Wexner himself was involved with or knew about the
incident.
Federal authorities thus far have not implicated Wexner in Epstein's crimes, according to
Bloomberg , but prosecutors are still investigating which if any of Epstein's business
associates were involved with his alleged crimes. In a statement posted in July,
Wexner insisted (in all caps) that "I was NEVER aware of the illegal activity charged in the
indictment."
The Wexner Foundation has not given interviews about the scandal and declined to speak to
the Jewish Telegraphic Agency about the matter. JTA has asked the foundation specifically about
the allegations by Farmer and Giuffre, and also has reached out to Guiffre's lawyers, including
Pottinger, for comment.
According to The Times, Epstein also falsely represented himself as a talent scout for
Victoria's Secret, then used that identity to meet women whom he assaulted.
L Brands' stock price has
dropped as the Epstein scandal has unfolded.

Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein in Cambridge, MA on 9/8/04. (Photo by Rick Friedman/Corbis via Getty Images) Hands up, those of you who
made a Fort Marcy Park joke last Saturday. Anyone? Surely there were a few. Fort Marcy Park was the Washington, D.C. woodland where
White House attorney Vince Foster was found dead in 1993, and while his demise was repeatedly ruled a suicide, certain conservatives
spent years afterwards hallucinating that the Clintons had him killed. Now, a quarter century later, both right and left are back
in conspiracy mode. Mere hours after pedo-to-the-stars Jeffrey Epstein was reported to have killed himself, the hash tag #ClintonBodyCount
began circulating on Twitter, followed closely by #TrumpBodyCount. Both Bill Clinton and Donald Trump had been associates of Epstein's;
both, the thinking went, might have been desperate for him not to take the stand.
It is wrong, of course, to publicly speculate that Epstein was whacked, given that all available evidence points to gross negligence
on the part of the jail. But can you really blame people? Twenty-five years ago, if you'd said that a roll call of America's elites,
everyone from a former president to the most famous lawyer in the country, would be implicated in a sex trafficking ring masterminded
by an enigmatic Wall Street financier who was also a member
of the Trilateral Commission , you would have been laughed into the darkest corner of the local subway platform (next to the
guy holding the "Vatican Hides Pedophiles" sign, presumably). Today, you'd be reading AP copy. Validate an improbable conspiracy
theory, and you grant license to all the related improbable conspiracy theories: Bill Clinton flew dozens of times on the Lolita Express; was it really beyond him to order a hit?
And if we know one thing about the Epstein story, it's that everything about it is utterly improbable. Epstein stands credibly
accused of assembling a
veritable underage harem . One of his victims, Virginia Guiffre, has already
implicated Prince Andrew
, the third-born of Queen Elizabeth II, and a picture has since emerged showing the royal with his arm around the then-teenager's
waist. Guiffre says she was also
ordered
to have sex with , among others, a "foreign president," a "well-known prime minister," and a "large hotel chain owner." Such
an open secret was all this perversion that the current president of the United States
made cheeky reference to it back in 2002. So invincible
did Epstein think himself that he discussed underage sex openly, telling a New York Times reporter that laws against pedophilia
were a
"cultural aberration."
That Epstein looked to other cultures to rationalize his behavior is nothing new -- Oscar Wilde wrapped his similar predilections
in lofty talk about the Greek ideal. What is different is that rather than being hunted and exposed by the powerful, as Wilde was,
Epstein was protected by them for decades. Even after he was convicted of soliciting an underage prostitute in 2008, he was sentenced
to only 18 months in prison, held in a
private
wing of the Palm Beach County stockade, and let out on generous "work release."
Study the Epstein case long enough and you end up at Alex Jones's favorite conclusion: they're all sons of bitches. Everyone who
was anyone seemed to be in on this, or at least acting at the behest of someone who was. The essence of the conspiratorial mindset
is that powerful shadowy forces are, first, capable of and engaged in the most dastardly skullduggery imaginable, and, second, in
cabal-like cooperation with each other across all levels of power. The Epstein case seems to affirm both planks. It makes our elites
seem like aliens, of a different culture, a different moral code, a different species -- how else could they have let slide what
none of us ever would? Mary Colum's remark to Ernest Hemingway, "The only difference between the rich and other people is that the
rich have more money," has rarely rang less true.
There's been for some time now a sense of drift between most Americans and their elites, driven by factors like income inequality,
geographic enclaving, and cultural differences. We are living in a populist moment, to be sure, an era when the usual purveyors of
class warfare sound more apt than they otherwise would. In such a fraught environment, the Epstein revelation lands like a grenade.
Not only are America's gentry hitching rides on the Acela while mumbling about deplorables -- so the feeling goes -- they're also
running cover for a Caligula who's preying on little Susie down the street. Suddenly the populist divide doesn't just run between
classes or races or regular toast versus avocado, but between ethical extremes, good and literal evil.
This is, of course, what most populists profess: the people as a group are wholesome, the elites as a group are venal, and the
former has to be vaulted over the latter in order for society to be made whole again. Yet Epstein's crimes are so wicked as to potentially
set this moral chasm ablaze like never before. That's why, though Trump may have associated with Epstein, he's unlikely to be damaged
by him: everything that's happened only confirms what he's been saying for years. In fact, you might view the Epstein fracas as a
dialectic between two of his former associates, Trump's throw-them-out populism versus Clinton's benevolent stewardship of society
by the smart set. And Trump won out.
Just as populisms aren't driven entirely by economic causes, so too are revolutions often about more than bread. Consider the
Russian Revolution, sparked at least in small part by the people's perception of Rasputin as a sexual deviant. Consider, too, the
French Revolution's rage against the profligate "Madame Déficit" Marie Antoinette. In such cases, the moral tends to get intertwined
with the economic; license is seen as enabling decadence while the people pray and starve. This can be a blind spot in traditional
conservative thinking. We rightly detest (most) revolutions and the tremors they cause, but we sometimes fail to notice that the
Jacobins have good reason to be angry and that the ruling classes they overthrow really are that loathsome.
America is nowhere near 1789 France, or armed revolution in general. But we are anxious, restive, hungry for justice. A republic
likes ours depends on the harmonious coexistence of its people and its elites, a matter that our Founders spent a good deal of time
worrying about. Now we have a hideous face f0r elite corruption, one that's enabled fever in the national mind and dehumanized those
around him. For those of us who prize stability and liberty in a polity, who think populism is always best in modest doses, the weeks
ahead may be reason for worry.
Because it seems there's only more to come. On Wednesday, another victim
came forward , alleging
that Epstein raped her when she was 14 after she turned down sex with him. That this carnal omega, this pathetic loser, this finger-sniffing
pervert from every teen comedy lurking outside the pretty girl's home longing for a piece of discarded lingerie was somehow elevated
into a Teflon-coated Wall Street sun god is beyond comprehension. My friend Michael Davis calls Epstein and company the
Hellfire Club , but
just how much will they torch on their way down?
When I started to see what was going on in this country, which was my journey, I was amazed to find out that there is sex trafficking
8 blocks from the White House and I learned of this in 2011. Lisa Ling did a great documentary on it. "Night time traffic greater
than the day time." Pimps attempting to recruit girls walking home from school. If you pay attention it is also a journey of
the food chain of Corporate America that supports this.
This is a Money Changer issue, that is about the closing of eyes from both parties. and please don't tell me this is not so.
I know better than that.
To be absolutely, clear there was speculation that Epstein was going to be assassinated weeks before it happened. For the most
part citizens aren't so much surprised, as disappointed that Justice is once again foiled.
Are the Elites the arch villains from the comic books, probably not, but then again many of them operate corporations that
cause suffering to economically deprived populations all over the world.
When the World's 26 richest people own as much as
poorest 50%, just how close do they seem to achieve a god like status when looking up from the bottom? Maybe that's one reason
that people are so angry when it seems that the most vulnerable among us, our children, are the victims of a limited number
of the Elites and their twisted and horrific appetites.
I personally doubt much will come of the Epstein affair it will most likely be just one more myth added to the tally of
injustice, and the people will have to bitterly swallow it whole. It will probably take many more cases like this being exposed
before the people actually have their fill, and decide to do something about it. In the meantime, prepare to see more of the
same by the laughing and mocking Elites
In this day and age, I doubt a reporter will touch this story, and if they did, the real story would never make it into
the Main Stream Media. And, most likely the reporter would be permanently black balled, and never work in Journalism again.
It's happened many times before, because it doesn't fit within the approved propaganda message.
Give the story a couple decades or more, and it may come out, but otherwise it will be handled as a whack-job Conspiracy
Theory.
The Fourth Estate is the only business that is protected by the Constitution, and yet it has been neutered, and those in
the Press, who were supposed to be the Watchdogs for the people, have become the Lapdogs of the Elites.
What passes as News today is formulaic programming, passed on from the Propagandist to the Media, both nationally
and locally.
Two Republican state senators and two New York City Policemen died violently within 72 hours ....
1. On June 4, former Arkansas Senator Linda Collins-Smith, 57, was found dead outside her home, her body unrecognizable
on discovery. Police are now investigating her death as a homicide. On June 5, the county prosecutor announced that the circuit
judge sealed the documents and statements obtained by police.
2. On June 5, Deputy Chief Steven Silks, 62, weeks away from retirement, was found in an unmarked police car with a gunshot
wound to the head. News reports reported indicate it seemed self-inflicted.
3. On June 5, former Oklahoma Sen. Jonathan Nichols, 53, was found shot dead in his home. Police have not announced whether
they are investigating a suicide or homicide..
4. On June 6, Detective Joseph Calabrese, 58, was found near his police car on a Brooklyn, NY beach, dead of a gunshot wound
in what one report called an apparent suicide.
RIP.
Many other Americans died violently this past week. Why link these four together?
The answer comes down to a dark suspicion and a few hard facts which suggest that one or more of these four deaths might
have had something to do with these individuals' work against pedophiles and human trafficking, or the official corruption
so often surrounding both.
The sexual abuse of children and kids in their early teens is a very democratic crime. While physical abuse and neglect are
linked to lower-income parents, sexual abuse occurs in all strata of society. It is not confined to the elites or to money
changers. Nor to Jews, if that is what you are implying.
Just about everyone in America has a family member who was sexually abused by someone who was usually not elite. Therefore,
I cannot get worked up about class issues because of Jeffrey Epstein.
What I can get worked up about are the way elites start wars for poor people to die in and the way poor people get cruel
sentences while the elite either walk or get the Epstein treatment--private wing, generous work release.
I agree. Young girls are trafficked in more circles than the elite. I don't understand the connection to any particular social
class. But better connected people do have better lawyers and can get away with more. Until like Mr. Epstein , they don't.
The true character of these people is starting to be revealed. This (lack of) character is not only displayed when these men
travel to Pedo Island, it's on display everywhere they go, in everything they do. Every organization they lead, or have anything
to do with, is likely rotten to the core.
Unconcerned about negative consequences, these people have become increasingly brazen. They certainly know that the laws
that apply to you and me do not apply to them.
If the system is so corrupt to have protected Epstein for decades, who else is being protected? Who else is getting away
with figurative rape in every department of government, or house of finance?
The sooner the public recognizes the "true face" of our elites and rulers the better. Left to their own devices,
these people - who think they have class but in reality are the worst kind of trash - can bring down a nation.
Literally no one I know thought this guy would make it to trial alive with the exception of me, as I still had some hope in
the system, and I was proven wrong. I've lost whatever remaining faith I had in the system.
In the words of George Carlin, "it's a big club, and you ain't in it." I stopped reading after the first two para's on this,
tone is exactly the same as the sneering disdain from the empire's various MSM propaganda arms aimed at those "not in the club."
1) Either our intelligence agencies knew what was going on with Epstein and did nothing to stop him. Or...
2) They had no clue ... which would mean our much vaunted intelligence community knew nothing about the travel habits of
the "ruling class" of the world, about Jeff Epstein's real activities, had received no tips, had no insiders, and were incapable
of "putting two and two together," etc. In short, Big Brother - with all its resources and intelligence and sources - with
capabilities that put the Gestapo or the KGB to shame - had no idea.
Occam's Razor says Possibility No. 1 is more likely to be the truth. But what would such a truth tell us?
The third possibility is that BigBrother was in on it and didn't object to sacrificing teenage girls to get compromising information
on people they wanted tp blackmail.
"What I am saying is that Epstein's direct testimony – AND ONLY EPSTEIN'S DIRECT TESTIMONY – had the potential to create a
Common Knowledge moment that could bring down – not just specific sociopathic oligarchs like Mob Boss Donald or Mob Boss Bill
or Mob Boss Andrew if they were the specific targets of that testimony – but the entire Mob system of sociopathic oligarchy.
Jeffrey Epstein was the Missionary to bring down the monsters behind the monster, to bring down the SYSTEM of monsters.
Jeffrey Epstein's books and records are not. The individual voices of Jeffrey Epstein's victims are not.
And that's what makes me angriest of all.
That while the individual victims of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes will maybe (maybe!) get some smattering of "justice" and recompense
from the show trial of a monster's estate, there will be no Justice served against the monsters behind the monster, that the
Mob system of sociopathic oligarchy that CREATED this Jeffrey Epstein and the next Jeffrey Epstein and the next and the next
will continue unabated. Untouched. Golden."
One strongly suspects that Ghislaine Maxwell knows just as much as Epstein did. Her participation was just as important to
the operation of this "trafficking" ring. She was the lead recruiter, handled logistics, "grooming" and also was Epstein's
"in" to many of his VIP associates (who were really clients). If witness accounts are accurate, she was also a participant
in a good number of these depraved, criminal acts.
The fact she has not been charged is quite the tell about our system of "justice."
Whether Epstein was killed or committed suicide I don't know. I would however like to know who these elites were who participated
in the rapes of these young girls. They are just as guilty as Epstein whether they knew the ages of these girls or not, it
was there responsibility to find out.
This is a dangerous slope. People once bowed to the elites because there was a principle of enforcement called nobless oblige.
Society felt that elites had to be held to a higher standard because they carried greater responsibilities and burdens for
society and the welfare of the national good.
Since the 1960s nobless oblige has been downgraded to sound bites and photo ops for publicity and marketing. The elites have
all but abandoned their responsibilities to support religion, to support education (except to indocrinate), to support tradition
and society and the national good. The elites have become inward looking, inbred and narcissistic with little to no outward
focus except in a marxist totalitarian vein of thought which serves their interest, indulges their hungers, preserves their
wealth and power.
What you are have been seeing since the 1960s is the veneer being pulled off the rich and powerful. I would say Nixon and
Princess Diana and Ted Kennedy did the most to pull down the veneer from the rich and powerful but it could be argued that
Nixon and Princess Diana and Ted Kennedy were accidental victims of circumstance. However Epstein's human trafficking of children
for sex and blackmail .... breaks the most because his crimes were no accident nor was he a victim of circumstance. Epstein
planned this and created an organization around it elevating his elitist crimes to a level no that I dont think anyone in modern
history can match.
I doubt that history's elites were ever any better. It's just that with far less transparency and access, it was much easier
for them to hide how awful they were. The 1960s was the start of mass media, and so the veneer started to crack.
I do think this COULD qualify as "the story of the century." That is, If the story was told in its entirety - all "names"
exposed.
If fully told, the swamp might, in fact, be "drained."
Now the people in said swamp have a strong incentive to protect their domain. Which is why so many of us are skeptical the
true story will ever be told.
If there was ever a time where brave and patriotic whistleblowers were needed ...
"This is, of course, what most populists profess: the people as a group are wholesome, the elites as a group are venal, and
the former has to be vaulted over the latter in order for society to be made whole again."
Sorry, but take a look at the average American. The so-called "people" are for the most part just as morally obtuse as the
"elites" but they carry the additional burden of being not only ignorant but also stupid. Just look around. Best recent example
of the utter stupidity of the American people: a recent survey shows they think 23% of the population is gay. Really.
But isn't the issue exactly that the "only difference between the rich and other people is that the rich have more money" comment
is perfectly true?
The rich and powerful are us, but corrupted by riches and power. Many of them behave the way many of us would quickly start
to behave if we found ourselves in their shoes. If the gap in power between you and most other people is so huge that you can
do anything to them and get away with it, your morals stop applying to them because you start to view them as somewhat subhuman.
In this sense, I'm sure Epstein never even thought of raping the underage daughters of other elites.
Thus, the issue is stratospheric inequality of power (by whatever fungible measure you choose - money, political, religious,
social, etc). And we see it happen ALL the time throughout history and across geographies - as soon as the power gap is in
excess of social boundaries, as soon as there is a group of people you can do pretty much anything you want to and get away
with it, you start going a little crazy. Exploitation, rape, torture, murder, slavery - everything starts looking justified.
Then it's just a matter of degree, with tin-pot dictators on one end and Epstein somewhere in the middle.
Read Machiavelli. He observed that the popolo minuti (regular folks) just wished to be left alone by authorities whereas popolo
grossi (fat cats) were of a different psychological composition: they delighted in deception, were vain, greedy and hungry
for power.
Centuries later, studies of psychopaths reveal these creatures are different from regular humans at the brain level. The elites
are psychopathic (the key ones are) and no, they ain't like regular people. They are literally a different kind.
My point was that as popolo minuti transform into popolo grossi in terms of access to power, they tend to start to transform
into them in terms of moral character as well. (Inequality of) power corrupts, and absolute (inequality of) power corrupts
absolutely. Thus, it seems that the over-representation of psychopaths in positions of power is because the psychopathy is
acquired (and plenty of studies show drastic declines in empathy with even a little priming for power), rather than because
it is easier for psychopaths to rise to the top. The worst of the popolo grossi tend to be hereditary.
In my opinion, there is nothing so dangerous as to believe that evil people are a different breed from the rest of us. Instead,
they tend to simply be us, but in different circumstances. History tends to show that revolutions aimed at replacing the evil
people with better people end up with corrupted revolutionaries, rather than a fundamentally less abusive system.
"It reminds me of a well known speech by a defense counsel, who pleaded his client's poverty as an excuse of robbing and murdering
six of his victims, on the lines that "My client's poverty drove him to murder six people, everybody else would have done the
same!"
Outstanding article. However, I think we're a lot closer to 1789 France than we want to believe. Read some Chris Hedges to
see how the socialists see the current situation. Here's an example.
https://www.commondreams.or...
Elites, that is those with more wealth and/or power than the rest of the masses have always been this way. Remember how decadent
the European aristocracy was with their sport of "wenching"? that is going around in groups raping young peasant girls. Also,
there was the Hellfire Club which you can research if you want details. This scandal will get less and less coverage in the
MSM until it fades away like all the others involving the rich and powerful.
The Global "Elite" control our Ruling Class by means of blackmail. A person does not get raised to high truly influential positions
of power(Politicians, Judges, Hollywood, etc.) unless they have enough dirt on you to know that they can control you without
question. The most powerful form of blackmail that they have is ped0filia because it is THE most abhorrent crime that someone
can commit, so much so that even criminals in prison refuse to allow ped0 scumbags to be housed near them.
Trump has an obvious penchant for beautiful WOMEN not kids. He was helping and somewhat part of the "Elite" in that he was
joining in with them to buy politicians for influence but Trump neutralized that being over his head by openly admitting to
buying politicians. They thought it was safe to allow him to run because they thought it was a joke and he would never get
elected. They were wrong. In my opinion, they don't have enough dirt on him to get him to go along with their agenda of selling
out the USA to the highest bidder hence the all-out attacks on him.
The key to understanding the "Elite"/Ruling Class dynamic is not conflating the two and realizing that blackmail is the
main tool used by the one to keep the other under their control.
*Sorry about the Trump tangent above but it's absolutely ridiculous that people are trying to tie Trump to Epstein even
though Trump has been trying to bring national attention to the Epstein case FOR YEARS.
"given that all available evidence points to gross negligence on the part of the jail."
How is gross negligence different from deliberate negligence?
You can tell? And btw the WaPo just came out with news that broken
bones in Epstein's neck are more usual in cases of homicide.
I generally see anyone who belittles
'Conspiracy theorists' as part of an Establishment that uses 'incompetence' as the perennial excuse for everything that goes
wrong.
The old accusation, that you are a 'conspiracy theorist' (a term invented by the CIA after the Kennedy assassination) is holding
less and less weight. The irrational kooks now seem to be the people who think Epstein committed suicide. Jokes were everywhere
about how 'we were shocked to hear about the suicide of Jeffrey Epstein, next Tuesday' when a day later we hear, 'Jeffrey Epstein
committed suicide'.
By the way, this equivalence between Trump and Clinton is bogus, I believe. There isn't much evidence of any involvement
of Trump (some evidence to the contrary in fact), but there is a load of evidence suggesting 'Wild Bill' was availing himself.
Remember when Maxine Waters was labelled a kook for saying the CIA was bringing cocaine into her LA district? She was mocked
and ridiculed. Now we know she was right. You can't make this stuff up.
I'm sorry, but this case stinks to high heaven, and if you're ready to accept "gross negligence" as the explanation you're
likely to believe ANYTHING the authorities tell you. Epstein was either murdered, as the autopsy and reports of shrieking from
his cell indicate, or subbed out by intelligence services and replaced by a murdered homeless person who received plastic surgery.
Study the history of modern intelligence services: appearances are deceiving, and systemic disinformation is endemic to politics.
Careful public speculation, acknowledging where we're uncertain, is very much the responsible thing to do; otherwise there
is no hope of democratic accountability. The investigation we're being promised will be conducted by the exact same institution
-- the US Department of Justice -- that was responsible for keeping Epstein safe and securing his public testimony about his
criminal network. These are the people you want us to trust? Come on, a little critical reasoning, please!
The most ridiculous part is the idea that being rich and powerful gives you a predilection to turn a blind eye. My wife's family
turned a blind eye to a perverted uncle that molested multiple family members over decades. No one stood up, it would've been
a shame to them to admit it. How is this any different?
> Maxwell was reading a book called "The Book of Honor: The Secret Lives and Deaths of
CIA Operatives"
You can't make this up. It's like they are doing everything possible to give conspiracy
theorists maximum ammo. All we need now is to find out that Maxwell's Twitter handle is
'#M0554d4g3nt4L1f3'
“Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s one-time girlfriend and alleged
co-conspirator, was spotted Monday at an In-N-Out Burger in Universal City, California, of
all places.”
I pass this place nearly every day…
Need me to grab her?
Kit Knightly at OffGuardian has a great commentary on how the Guardian is shaping
its coverage of this Epstein situation, particularly in regard to all us conjecturing
types:
For what it is worth ( Not much), I have spoken to about a dozen people about Epstein's
death. Not one of them believes Epstein committed suicide. I asked a wide range of people
from small town mayors to Realtors to a commercial fisherman.
I have insufficient information to make a judgement, however I do consider it more likely
than not that Epstein was killed. My opinion is based on nothing more than 60 plus years of
paying attention to how things really work, it was a mighty convenient death.
"... This is doomed to dissolve. To a greater and significant degree, the public is finding true justice wanting, and thus holds no trust in Government, at All levels. ..."
Then you get a tame judge assigned (and that's nothing new, even Johnny Carson used to
joke "do you know how bad the economy is these days?" [sidekick] "no, Johnny, just how bad is
the economy?" "it's so bad, organised crime has had to lay off 5 judges this week ") to let
Epstein off with a slap on the wrist, a year at the Four Seasons low security penitentiary
and early release through time served.
Much simpler than any of the other notions and achieves exactly the same result (Epstein
is subject to "the full force of the law" but stays happily alive to tell the tale and keep
his finger off the Dead Mans Switch).
If you were in charge of all this, which solution would you try first? If you've ever
worked in a big, but incompetent, organisation (and if they're big, they're almost certainly
going to be incompetence personified), you wouldn't even need to ask yourself that
question.
This is doomed to dissolve. To a greater and significant degree, the public is finding
true justice wanting, and thus holds no trust in Government, at All levels.
But hey that's just conspiracy theory talk .. right ?
"... In the case of Epstein, I was thinking not that he was a principal who had to be offed because he ' knew too much ', but was more like the racehorse whose head winds up in someone's bed. ..."
If you consider social democrat types to be Left -- the 'near Left' -- then they've made
great progress during the reign of Trump. It is true they are nowhere near dominance as yet,
but in any case the stuff the Deep State factions are struggling over, war, empire, funny
money, and other con games, are inherently corrupt and corrupting, and formal dominance could
only mean submission to the rules of the Game. Probably better to lose influentially; victory
is death.
In the case of Epstein, I was thinking not that he was a principal who had to be offed
because he ' knew too much ', but was more like the racehorse whose head winds up in
someone's bed. Or hearing that someone has been given plutonium tea. 'We can do this,
sucker!'
If Trump were interested in "winning", as he likes to claim, he would push the DOJ to view
this as a RICO case, not one about a single rich pedophile. There was a criminal organization
at work here, with multiple conspirators and enablers. They should be indicted. Additionally,
there are enough people on the periphery -- ex-presidents, financiers, professors, etc --
that deserve to be dragged in front of a jury, where they can publicly plead the 5th.
This should have been the approach from Day 1, and hopefully, Epstein's suspicious death
will be a catalyst for it.
Craig Murray's sober, reflective note on Epstein begins and ends with corruption as its
main theme. I hope people find the time to read it. He doesn't delve deeply, but at base it
what is known as seigniory rights--the right of the lord to take and rape whomever he wants
with impunity, which is one of the most brutal forms of corruption imaginable. Epstein's
business was to facilitate that form of corruption. Yes, it's illegal and immoral, but the
primary fact is that its corrupt--it has no sanction whatsoever. And it's exactly that sort
of primal corruption that is visited upon the vast majority daily. Passing legislation that
will knowingly result in the poisoning of millions--stunting the brains of the young--which
was just done and signed into law by Trump is what I'm writing about. It's a different form
of rape, but it's rape nonetheless. But it seems that only bothers me, and Craig Murray.
So "it's all the fault of the Jews and the Israelis, no one else is ever involved in sex
trafficking of young "white" girls", sarcasm from me.
Why don't you drop your BS auto-anti-Semitism and look at everyone else documented to have
been involved.
/div>
For those who claim public view of Epsteins corpse,very understandably and necessary ,I
would say,that even then there's possibility of being misled.The film industry manages to
produce props that look very real,human face included.I stood once before a prop representing
the corpse of a shot down horse,even at fifty cm from it I thought it was real.There was no
smell of course,but even that can be staged.The people allowed to view Epsteins cadaver really
would need to put a knife in it,to assure its being real,and then try to pull off the mask that
could be his face.

Interesting list, sorry about the length of copy and paste, from Zerohedge then.
In 2016 CBS Las Vegas posted a list of Bill and Hillary Clinton associates alleged to have
died under mysterious circumstances.
Here is that list.
1- James McDougal – Clintons convicted Whitewater partner died of an apparent heart
attack, while in solitary confinement. He was a key witness in Ken Starr's investigation.
2 – Mary Mahoney – A former White House intern was murdered July 1997 at a
Starbucks Coffee Shop in Georgetown .. The murder happened just after she was to go public
w:th her story of sexual harassment in the White House.
3 – Vince Foster – Former White House counselor, and colleague of Hillary
Clinton at Little Rock's Rose Law firm. Died of a gunshot wound to the head, ruled a
suicide.
4 – Ron Brown – Secretary of Commerce and former DNC Chairman. Reported to
have died by impact in a plane crash. A pathologist close to the investigation reported that
there was a hole in the top of Brown's skull resembling a gunshot wound. At the time of his
death Brown was being investigated, and spoke publicly of his willingness to cut a deal with
prosecutors. The rest of the people on the plane also died. A few days later the Air Traffic
controller commited suicide.
5 – C. Victor Raiser, II – Raiser, a major player in the Clinton fund raising
organization died in a private plane crash in July 1992.
6 – Paul Tulley – Democratic National Committee Political Director found dead
in a hotel room in Little Rock , September 1992. Described by Clinton as a "dear friend and
trusted advisor".
7 – Ed Willey – Clinton fundraiser, found dead November 1993 deep in the woods
in VA of a gunshot wound to the head. Ruled a suicide. Ed Willey died on the same day his
wife Kathleen Willey claimed Bill Clinton groped her in the oval office in the White House.
Ed Willey was involved in several Clinton fund raising events.

With Epstein dead, four women accused of recruiting underage girls for sex with the
pedophile financier are coming into focus, including British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell - who
has denied all claims.
On Monday, AG Barr said that Epstein's alleged co-conspirators "should
not rest easy" just because Epstein won't have his day in court.
"Let me assure you that case will continue on against anyone who was complicit with
Epstein," said Barr in remarks to a New Orleans law enforcement group, "Any co-conspirators
should not rest easy. Victims deserve justice and will get it."
Maxwell is said to be Epstein's ex-girlfriend turned business associate. Her current
location is unknown.
"She was more of a partner in his obsession, really," said
Miami Herald reporter Julie Brown , who spent more than two years looking into Epstein's
controversial 2008 plea deal. "And there are allegations that she was involved in having sex

I don't know Duch, but in Miro23 #200 comment I thought I heard the banker Ronald Bernard
(video) saying that after the Epstein episode, in the new batch of dollars printed the All
Seen Eye was shown in a new mode. In Murder We Trust and sometimes Suicide.
The Jeffrey Epstein
saga goes on even though convicted pedophile Epstein himself has been found hanged in his
jail cell in Manhattan. One has to wonder how he managed to kill himself, if that is indeed the
case, as he was reportedly on suicide watch at the prison and it is to be presumed that he had
been stripped of any clothing or accoutrements that would have been usable to that end. So, he
is dead but did he do it himself or was he helped? There are many prominent individuals and
powerful government agencies that will be very pleased that he is gone as most of his secrets
will have gone to the grave with him.
There was certainly a warning that something might happen. Two weeks ago, he was reportedly
found unconscious in his jail cell with marks around his neck. It was suggested that he
might have tried to kill himself or, alternatively, had been beaten up by another inmate. There
was also considerable speculation that some aggrieved part of the Deep State was trying to kill
him to silence him.
The subsequent press reports revealed that Epstein had been taken to a hospital, but there
has been no follow-up about his condition or status apart from
a brief note that he had been returned to the same jail under suicide watch. In any event,
the story had pretty much died, which is precisely what a lot of the high rollers and
politicians who became involved with Epstein would have liked to see happen. Nevertheless,
investigations of the "Affair Epstein" reportedly were continuing at the federal level as well
as in New York State and Florida.
The most recent elaboration of the Epstein saga prior to his death came from his former
patron Leslie Wexner, the canny Jewish business tycoon who built an Ohio based fashion empire
called L Brands from scratch. L Brands, by the way, includes Victoria's Secret, which features
young women strutting around in their underwear. The 81 year old Wexner claimed in a 564 word
letter that the wily Epstein "misappropriated vast sums of
money" from him. In the letter Wexner admitted to having lost at least $46 million from his
family money, but some media accounts are suggesting that the fraud amounted to much more,
possibly as much as $500 million. And the alleged theft also extended to property, to include
the series of transactions that left Epstein possessing the Upper East Side mansion where he
resided and did his filming of celebrities having sex with young girls, estimated to be worth
$56 million, as well as the commercial airliner that became the Lolita Express and a
yacht.

Now, either sum of purloined money is not exactly pocket change even for multi-billionaire
Wexner, even if rag trade magnate was enamored of the massages he was getting at Epstein's
house. It would take an extremely poor businessman to be unaware of losing that kind of money
and that much property unless his name were Donald Trump.
Wexler claimed that he began to sever ties with Epstein in 2007, after Florida authorities
charged Jeffrey in early 2006 with multiple counts of molestation and unlawful sexual activity
with a minor. In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to state charges of solicitation of prostitution
from a minor and was required to register as a sex offender, but he received an astonishingly
mild jail sentence of eighteen months with a private cell, unlimited visitors including young
women, and daily release so he could be picked up by his driver to go to work in his Palm Beach
office, a bit of incomprehensible leniency that is currently being subjected to criminal
investigation by the state of Florida. After the sentence was handed down the county sheriff
observed that "He was astonished that [Epstein] had to go to prison at all."
Indeed, the entire Florida side of the Epstein story seems to have disappeared down some
memory hole. Epstein was convicted for his involvement with prostitution, but the only
remaining issue was the consequences that he faced. That is where other players stepped in,
including Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz, Palm Beach county state attorney
Barry Krischer, and the Miami office U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta.
My belief that Jeffrey Epstein was an intelligence agent is based principally on Acosta's
comments when being cleared by the Trump transition team. He was asked "Is the Epstein case
going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]?" "Acosta testified that he'd had just one
meeting on the Epstein case. He'd cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein's attorneys
because he had 'been told' to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. 'I was told
Epstein belonged to intelligence and to leave it alone.'"
The questions about Epstein remain even though he is gone, but one fears that the
authorities will be disinclined to further investigate a dead man. It appears that no one in
the various investigative agencies or the mainstream media has been interested in what Acosta
meant, even though it would be simple enough to ask him. Who told him to back off? And how did
they explain it? And then there is Epstein's Austrian passport. Was it fake or real, with a
real name and photo substitution or alternation of both picture and name? How did he get it?
Austrian passports are highly desirable in intelligence circles because the country is neutral
and its holders can travel just about everywhere without a visa.
And there's more. As a former intelligence officer myself, there is little doubt in my mind
that what Epstein did and how he did it was an intelligence operation. There is no other viable
explanation for his filming of prominent politicians and celebrities having sex with young
girls. And as for the question of whom Epstein might have been working for, the
most likely answer is Mossad . The CIA would have had no interest in compiling dossiers on
prominent Americans, but American movers and shakers like Bill Clinton, with his 26 trips on
the Lolita Express , former Governor Bill Richardson, or former Senator George Mitchell
are
precisely the types of "agents of influence" that the Mossad would seek to coerce or even
blackmail into cooperation.
Other compelling evidence for a Mossad connection came from Epstein's relationship with
Ghislaine Maxwell, who reportedly served as his key procurer of young girls. Ghislaine is the
daughter of Robert
Maxwell , who died or possibly was assassinated in mysterious circumstances in 1991.
Maxwell was an Anglo-Jewish businessman, very cosmopolitan in profile, like Epstein, a
multi-millionaire who was very controversial with what were regarded as ongoing ties to Mossad.
After his death, he was given a state funeral by Israel in which six serving and former heads
of Israeli intelligence listened while Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir eulogized : "He has
done more for Israel than can today be said."
Israel and high-profile Jewish players also have
continued to turn up like bad pennies in the Epstein case, but no one seems to be
interested in pursuing that angle. Epstein clearly had contact with former Israeli Prime
Minister Shimon Peres and Ehud Barak and Wexner also had
close ties to the Jewish state and its government. Barry Krischer, who may have been the
source of the comments to Acosta, has received the Anti-Defamation
League (ADL) award . Evidence also suggests that Krischer, cooperating with rabidly
pro-Israel Epstein lawyer Alan Dershowitz, played a key role in the failure to adequately
punish Epstein for his conviction for pedophilia. According to a recent New
Yorker story , the police investigators of the Epstein case observed that "the tone and
tenor of the discussions of this case with Krischer changed completely" after his meetings with
Dershowitz. At that point, the two detectives most involved in the case found themselves under
extreme pressure. They were surveilled constantly by private investigators and they even had
their household trash snatched and searched. And the resulting plea agreement with Krischer "
was due to the efforts of Dershowitz, who had proceeded to attack and smear the victims."
Krischer
claims that his office "subpoenaed witnesses took evidence to a Grand Jury, which returned
a single felony count indictment against Epstein of soliciting prostitution," but the reality
appears to be that he worked with the defense to get Epstein off. There was plenty of evidence
based on more than forty interviews with victims to convict Epstein, but instead of having him
arrested, Krischer instead set up the Grand Jury with no mention of underage victims to
mitigate the possible consequences. He also did not inform the victims of what he had arranged
so they could challenge the verdict and penalty, a violation of Crime Victims Rights Act.
The Palm Beach police who worked the case at the time told The Miami Herald as
part of an investigation published in November that they felt pressured by Krischer to
downgrade Epstein's case to a misdemeanor, or to drop it entirely. They said "the fix was in."
Acosta, more recently, did not refer to Krischer by name during an early July news conference,
but spoke of the Palm Beach County state's attorney. He described his own office as stepping in
to ensure Epstein faced some form of punishment. "Simply put, the Palm Beach State Attorney's
Office was willing to let Epstein walk free. No jail time. Nothing," Acosta said. "Prosecutors
in my former office found this to be completely unacceptable, and we became involved."
After thirteen months in country club jail in Palm Beach, Epstein was released. At his
mansion in New York City, he subsequent had an artist paint a mural of himself in jail,
evidently as an insider joke for those who knew about his time behind bars. End of story? Not
exactly, even though Epstein is now dead. But the key questions go unanswered including was he
a spy for Israel? And what about the Krischer-Dershowitz connection that kept him from being
punished commensurate with his crimes? Did those instructions also come from Israel or from its
friends in the U.S. Justice Department? Will the three simultaneous investigations currently
taking place even continue and ask the right questions now that the target of the investigation
is gone? Given the high stakes in the game, quite likely, there will be a cover-up both of how
Epstein lived and how he died. We the public will never know what Epstein was all about.

We the public will never know what Epstein was all about.
Astute observation, which means of course that we can endlessly speculate with little fear
of contradiction.
Question: If I film a person having sex with an underage girl I have committed a major
felony. How many people would use that film as blackmail knowing that its release will land
him in prison?
For too many people, it's the ideal outcome. Bill Clinton, Alan Dershowitz, Prince Andrew
those are the ones we spotted.
Moreover, it's possible the pool was about to expand a lot. Drawn by the scent of
that supposed five hundred million dollar fortune, a law firm was searching for more of
Epstein's victims. Who knows who they would have named?
There would have been a welter of civil suits, All the beans could have been
spilled.
And gee now we'll never know. I doubt if much trace of that supposed fortune is ever going
to be found. It never was clear how Epstein made money, or even who he made it from, and yet
he had multiple fabulous estates -- including his own private island -- and a private Boeing
727. Whoever supplied the funds for all this is going to go away, leaving no trail behind
them.
I'm reminded of the considerably more obscure Zygier case.
Zygier was an Australian Jew who followed that familiar path for idealistic young Jews
from the diaspora : get smitten with Israel, make aliyah , and serve in
Israel's noble armed forces.
In Zygier's case, his service took the form of joining the Mossad. Evidently, he saw
something there that offended his refined ethical sensibilities; he was locked up and held
incommunicado pending trial. Sadly, he 'committed suicide' -- in a cell under
twenty-four hour suicide watch -- before he could appear in court.
@Colin Wright "a law
firm was searching for more of Epstein's victims. Who knows who they would have named?"
They can still sue his estate. Not like it matters much for civil suits if he is dead. His
testimony would not have been credible or helpful for either side.
I can't even understand why he came back to the states to be arrested. With all his
contacts he must have known that if he came here that would be the outcome. If the powers
that be wanted to get rid of him he would have had an accident ages ago. Maybe it was more
important to have him arrested and instill fear in all the people caught up by his honey trap
it certainly would help to exert pressure if there was a particular agenda that needed to be
accomplished. My feeling is that he has been whisked off to a new life with his awesome
retirement package.
TPTBs really, REALLY, don't care what the rest think or feel. Well, except for one thing,
maybe: "Look what we can do to one of us. Now .think a bit, what can we do to YOU?".
The "rest", at the same time, also don't care much. Most people won't simply register
this. So much for "informing/educating people to create a positive social change".
The very mechanisms of society which are supposed to prevent this, let alone investigate
and punish the perpetrators, obviously, won't do it. Independent ..hahahaha ..media.
Judiciary. Police. Famed security services.
If this had happened anywhere else in the world the USA media/public would've been shitting,
with reason, all over it. Not in the land of free. Well, that does prove that American
society is exceptional.
This is really "in your face". Scary, actually, how "they" really don't care. Not because
"they" are what they are. Because "we" are what "we" are.
It would be interesting to see what's going to happen to the plebs involved. My take: some
disciplinary action now. And, perhaps, the same guy(s) employed somewhere with much better
pay and perks.
"If I film a person having sex with an underage girl I have committed a major felony. How
many people would use that film as blackmail knowing that its release will land him in
prison?"
For the same reason people build nuclear weapons but don't ever use them: the potential
for MAD is there should anyone get out of line and attack so there is never an attack. The
money keeps flowing to Israel and no administration votes against them in the UN.* Besides,
if Epstein were contracted by Mossad, they presumably would have copies of this dirt and they
could easily release it through a third party. That's certainly a calculation the victims
would have made. We already know a former Israeli PM with high level contacts in the IDF and,
possibly, Mossad not only had personal contact with Epstein but also had a business
relationship with him through a company based in Israel. Wexner could have funneled money
through that company to conceal the operation's finances, which would have been beyond the
ability of US regulators to examine.
Personally, I find it incredulous that Wexner would have been unaware of missing $500
million. That's an extraordinary sum. We know Wenxer is an ardent Israeli nationalist who has
in the past organized fellow Jewish billionaires (Study Group / Mega Group) for the purposes
of promoting "Jewish charity" the perfect front to run an operation. Study this man's ties
and you will almost certainly find Mossad. Wexner was the perfect means to fund Epstein's
operation: wealthy, ethnocentric, and highly connected to other big time players in finance,
politics, and the entertainment industries (great for recruiting) – the perfect cover
to shield Israel from blow back in the unlikely event the operation became public. This was
Mossad. Count on it. it's what I would do.
*Sorta funny how American administrations stopped voting against Israeli interests around
the time when video cameras became widespread, isn't it? Further, has anyone ever wondered
what happens when all those freshly minted democrats join leadership in their freshmen luxury
tours of Israel? Seems like the perfect time to gather some dirt. I wonder if their hotel
rooms get special visits from young women? If I were honest CIA, I might have a problem with
this activity if I were honestly working for this country and not a certain other one, that
is.
So many questions and we are supposed to have confidence in the same FBI and DOJ that created
Russiagate to investigate another stinking pile of corruption? Why not appoint James Comey as
a special counsel to investigate the Epstein affair? That will keep everything hidden for a
few years.
Here's what bothers me. George Mitchell, Bill Richardson even Bill Clinton are has beens
and, let's face it, to a septuagenarian lecher the difference between an 16 year old and an
18 year old girl is a distinction without a difference. Epstein could have run his version of
the Playboy Mansion unhindered for the rest of his life had he just made sure his 'pleasure
units' had drivers licenses that said they were 18. Hell, Monica Lewinsky was 21 and Bill
Clinton risked his presidency to conceal that affair. If blackmail is your game you don't
need teenyboppers to ruin a political career. Ask Gary Hart or John Edwards!
There is something missing in this Epstein drama. Something so devastating that it goes
beyond any single person's survival. Something that would bring down an agency ( like the FBI
) were it to be revealed.
@peterAUS With all the
dystopian bills and laws passed in the last two years, with the current attack on the 1st and
2nd amendment, with the effective neutering of congress and its politicians reduction to
puppets for special interests and the lobby, finally with the attack on the internet, you
knew the West is moving into totalitarian mode. But the murder-suicide of Epstein outright
confirms it. Welcome to the USSA. It's a big club and YOU ain't in it!
Unless you are a billionaire, Zionist or top level agent useful to them of course.
But it does make you wonder what Americans will do. If the British crown had done a 1/10th
of what the current elite does You have to wonder if Ernst Zundel's prophecy will come true
in the end. Or if the people will really just go quietly into the night and slumber away
consuming superhero movies, junk food and second-hand memories of a time long passed and
dreams of a fake utopia that will never be and was a lie to begin with.
@Lot' They can
still sue his estate. Not like it matters much for civil suits if he is dead. His testimony
would not have been credible or helpful for either side.'
You assume they can find his estate. I imagine that -- the title to the plane, the island,
the imaginary stock portfolio -- is all going to prove remarkably evanescent.
Whoever was funding Epstein is going to roll up the carpet behind them as they go.
There'll be nothing to take.
@Muggles Both of those
deaths lead back to Mueller. Likewise the wrist slap for major kiddie porn distributor David
Asimov ( son of Isaac ). If you venture farther back you find Mueller butt deep in the BCCI
scandal.
As to how Epstein got his fake passport, it's highly likely he got it from Ronald Lauder, son
of Estée Lauder and currently President of the World Jewish Congress. At the time
Epstein received his fake Austrian passport, Lauder was US ambassador to Austria.
It's time Wexner's shady past received more scrutiny, as it would reveal everything about
the true nature and extent of Epstein's operation. Wexner has had both ties to the mob and
the CIA. He shared the same very private terminal for fueling and customs inspections at
Rickenbacker Airport with the CIA's Southern Air Transport airline (later Evergreen
Aviation), known for its "Torture Taxi" rendition flights and drug trafficking. Wexner used
Southern Air Transport to fly clothing in from Hong Kong, which back in the day was the main
heroin hub. It may be that Wexner received a cut of the CIA's drug money for serving as a
front, at a time when Epstein was doing the book keeping for Wexner.
One of Wexner's brands is called Express, which started out as Limited Express. No doubt
"Lolita Express" is a play on that, as there was a habit of using variations of the Limited
name. Wexner had a super yacht called "Limitless" that Epstein used.
Personally, I find it incredulous that Wexner would have been unaware of missing $500
million.
Wexner knew it , he just didn't do anything about it which begs the question why? There is
also the question of why Wexner gave Epstein a 'power of attorney' over his family charity
fund. A man in his position would have a dozen attorneys who would have told him not to do
that.
There were billions of dollars at risk on what Epstein could tell.
"Besides Lex Wexner of L Brands who now (15 years after the fact) says Epstein stole $45
million from him which he made no effort to get back there was Leon Black.
"Leon D. Black, head of Apollo Global Management one of the world's largest private equity
firms
Black's links to Epstein have become a source of concern to some Apollo employees and
investors, including the California Public Employees' Retirement System, which has committed
more than $5 billion to 11 Apollo funds and is its second-largest shareholder.
"Calpers takes this issue very seriously," Wayne Davis, a spokesman for the Sacramento-based
pension,"
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-07-31/jeffrey-epstein-had-a-door-into-apollo-his-deep-ties-with-black
Black and Apollo would have been ruined forever if Calpers had withdrawn their pension
money because of links to Epstein sexcapades.
There are likely more WS and other financial figures linked to Epstein and there may have
been crimes beyond underage girls such as actual sex trafficking and money laundering .his
travel records included countries compatible with those activities.
@Lot' Maybe his
money isn't as well hidden as we imagine. After all, he kept a big child porn stash right in
NYC, and didn't move to a no-extradition country. So he was either expecting to get away with
his crimes or just really sloppy '
Intentionally or not, you seem to be determinedly missing my point.
Maybe the money never was Epstein's. Maybe it was given to him to run the operations he
ran. Epstein wasn't an independent operator so much as an employee.
Watch and see. If I'm right, everything will turn out to be in somebody else's name. There
won't be an estate to sue.
I read that Epstein had been taken off suicide watch, that the video camera surveilling him
had developed a technical malfunction, and that the guards assigned to him had been removed
for 3 hours related to some maintenance chore. If this is so, there will be some explaining
to do, and the internet will see to it that there is a lot of justified speculation. Even
minor prisoners are under video-surveillance 24-7 in more modern facilities.
Since Epstein had hundreds or thousands of videos of prominent people having sex with
minors, the state has a duty to the victims and the public to go through this material and
prosecute the clients where possible. This will naturally open up the discussion of a
possible blackmailing operation.
In a manner of speaking, God has done his part and the ball's in our court. If we don't do
what we can to get this investigated properly we have ourselves to blame. This is a golden
opportunity to expose the deep state. Don't be content to whine or listen to Hannity whine.
Whiners are losers.
Since Epstein appears to have no wife or children it will be interesting to see if he left
a will or if, like Howard Hughes, some Melvin Dummar type emerges claiming Epstein's estate.
Worth a try I suppose if you can get a lawyer to work on a contingency basis.
@iffen The point is
that this man was on suicide watch not for his own sake so much as because the investigation
and prosecution of his crimes and related ones were so important to the country.
I've recently been doing quite a lot of reading about the Syndicate gangsters of the
1930s-1940s, and another interesting historical parallel comes to mind
In 1941, Abe "Kid Twist" Reles, a senior figure in Brooklyn's Murder Inc. agreed to
testify against America's top Syndicate bosses, providing detailed evidence about the 1,000
or so nationwide killings that his organization had performed on their behalf.
Obviously, the federal prosecutors were concerned about his safety in any ordinary jail,
and stashed him in a suite of top-floor hotel rooms, where he was guarded 24-hours per day by
rotating groups of six specially-selected police officers, who would keep him under constant
surveillance. The doors were steel-plated and the rooms selected to preclude any long-range
sniper.
Oops! Poor "Kid Twist" somehow decided to jump out the 5th story window and kill himself
when all six of the on-duty guards happened to simultaneously doze off.
The Captain in command of the unit argued that it was accident rather than suicide, and
the poor fellow had deliberately climbed out the window, intending to rappel down to the
floor below, then walk back up the stairs and knock on the front door, thereby surprising his
erstwhile guards with a amusing practical joke.
Syndicate killers planning to implicate their bosses should definitely avoid playing such
"practical jokes"
@Ron Unz What is so
striking about the Epstein murder/suicide is not that high level witnesses like him would be
targeted and taken out to protect the powerful people implied in his testimony. But that even
the most casually informed observer of the case equipped with basic common knowledge would
know and anticipate in advance with certainty that he would be targeted.
The fact that Epstein could be killed in the prison which protected El Chapo and where,
allegedly, not a single inmate had comitted suicide under watch, with the dire warnings of
many voices and red flags in advance, and a "suicide attempt" just shortly before, which
already implied assault in his cell, can only mean two things:
That the US justice system is as inept and dysfunctional as that of a banana republic
– which is unlikely.
Or that the US political system from the presidents, over state attorneys down to the
common prison guard is so thoroughly corrupted to the point of evil that it was possible to
have Epstein assassinated.
Similar cases you have reported have been going on for almost a century now. And what was
speculative has now become iron certainty: that blackmail, assassination, human trafficking,
child abuse and pedophile-rings are an integral part of the true ruling elite of the USA.
Likely that of Europe aswell. And of South America. And the destinction between the ruling
elite and the mob it used and uses, is at best grey in nature. We are talking about people
who can destroy entire nations, have hundreds of thousands of people massacred as a
consequence and laugh about it, like Hillary Clinton did.
Yet the uncomfortable, undeniable certainty of this reality does still come somewhat as a
shock to me.
What was so special about the Epstein case was that it happened under the watchful and
anticipating eye of the public. The assasination, as described earlier, was a show of force
and smug mocking of the audience by the ruling elite. It almost felt like a bait to violent
retaliation. Like the true establishment had thrown down the gauntlet.
My pessimism leads me to believe that the Epstein assassination and implication with
Mossad and Ehud Barak as well as Benjamin Netanyahu will be memory-holed and drown in the
swamp of total apathy that rules post-historic, rootless, post-modern western man. But it is
hard to believe the potentially most esxplosive case in post-WW2 US history could just end
like a forgotten footnote.
@MLK I would import
everyone half-intelligent to ignore Giraldi's distraction arm-waving about the Jews. Apply
some common sense.
Whomever was powerful enough to resuscitate the "Epstein saga," surely could have quietly
suicided him in the many years before he was back in federal custody. Ergo, that wasn't the
plan.
According to the (sketchy) official story, Epstein recklessly flew back to Teterboro
Airport right when his malefactions were again in the spotlight and the subject of
litigation. Apparently all of his powerful protectors low these many years must have all been
on summer vacation, including Mossad to hear Giraldi tell it.
What makes a whole lot more sense is that he was, in a word, renditioned. We even got
the post-arrest photo of him looking much like Saddam (purportedly) pulled from his hiding
hole by some garden-variety US soldiers.
@TKK Except she was
not 15, but two years older, and was with him until 19, which is a difficult mistake to make
honestly. And once your testimony is proven to be unreliable in one detail about judge must
tell the jury all your evidence is tainted. She also had a druggie boyfriend at the time. And
she was a lot tighter with her family and deceived them a lot more than anyone would
understand from her account. She lied to her father and was taking money for sex as a 19 year
old. Her character not her consent would be the issue. The jury would be led to understand
that they were making her a millionaire by convicting Epstein. Epstein's acquittal would not
have been unprecedented, Michael Jackson's acquittal was probabally due to just such a
defence strategy. Both had a lot of money, and the criminal justice system is not designed to
cope with super rich defendants.
@Grizaby Evidently you
can't read. It said Clinton and the rest of his clients. Trump is owned by Israel but that
doesn't mean he was part of Epstein's inner circle like the Clintons were. You have no clue
to what you are talking about. If Trump was part of it he will be had. Look at the bull they
tried to run by the American people with Mueller investigation.
Epstein was a major player in the espionage industry which consisted of Israel running the
system with likes of British Intelligence along with the CIA. This stuff is as old as warfare
itself. Epstein survived because all these agencies and the Magic Jews with their money
protected him. The US court system protected him as well as the FBI and Mueller. The Mueller
investigation was just another smoke and mirror diversion for Israel and the CIA to use ISIS
as a proxy army to expand Israel's borders while for two years the Jew Controlled Media ran
24 hours a day the Russians influenced our election. Unfortunately, some of us know that
Jews, Soros and Adelson own both the Democrats and the Republicans and control our
elections.
There is nothing partisan here. If you knew anything about Israel you would know that they
have been "importing" girls from the Balkins and other places for their sex industry for
years which has been covered up. Whenever there is human trafficking, porn, sex slavery,
organ harvesting, and espionage using such domains you will find Israel. For some reason
Giraldi seems ignorant of such things.
@Sean Oh, poor
victimized Jeff and these bad-bad girls. Sean comes to rescue!
Well, if Sean is so mindful about the age of the girls, here is a morsel of information to
provide food for Sean's thoughts: "Jeffrey Epstein searched for two EIGHT-YEAR-OLD girls to
sexually abuse after enlisting the help of fixer pal, court docs suggest" https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/9622107/jeffrey-epstein-eight-year-old-girls-sexually-abuse/
Messages left for the billionaire and convicted paedophile [Jeffrey Epstein] by friend
Jean-Luc Brunel, himself the subject of abuse allegations, describe a female "2 x 8 years
old" willing to give "Russian lessons".
Both had a lot of money, and the criminal justice system is not designed to cope with
super rich defendants.
with ties to Ehud Barak (of 9/11 fame).
US Attorney Acosta was told to "back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade." "I was
told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence'.
Which begs the question.. who told him that?
We can always discover where the rot meets the road by the thunderous silence when it
comes to asking certain questions.
Who provided the script to Fox News and the BBC for the story of building seven's
collapse?
Nobody has any interest in knowing -- this is where the rot meets the road.
Who told Acosta to lay off of Epstein? -- this is where the rot meets the road.
It's always the crickets who inform us, more than a thousand "journalists" and "reporters"
who know where the rot meets the road, and when to stop asking questions.
For instance, how did Epstein hang himself?
By what means was he able to do this? How was he found?
The only thing they're telling us is that " Epstein was found unresponsive in his
cell.."
And that he had been taken off suicide watch.
And so the rest of us, by dint of the avalanche of unasked questions, are supposed to have
trust in the authorities to get to the bottom of it. If we're told he hanged himself,
it's not up to us, and certainly not the job of 'journalists or reporters' to worry about
things like – how, exactly did he hang himself?
How was he found? I guess asking such questions would be 'beyond the Pale'.
He was found 'unresponsive in his cell. Oh, Ok. Wasn't he on suicide watch? No, he had
been taken off suicide watch. Oh, what about cameras? 'The cameras malfunctioned during his
'suicide'.
Ok, we have no more questions. We're satisfied that the FBI is going to "investigate".
Reminds me of the Las Vegas shooting, and how they couldn't discover a motive. The length
and breath of our vaunted FBI and all that NSA surveillance that knows when you're going to
fart before even you do, but they can't discover a motive for Las Vegas.
Michael Hastings was simply driving too fast. Case closed.
Jorg Haider was simply driving too fast.
Seth Rich died in a 'robbery' (where his wallet and expensive watch were not taken).
Gary Webb committed suicide by shooting himself in the head – twice.
If you're a professional whornalist, you're satisfied with these conclusions.
@annamaria Typical
female ad hominem fantasy projection.
For what is worth- there is no reliable Mossad connection (not that they are "good/evil
guys" or anything similar), but simply no proof for any interference on their side. It would
be interesting to see if they were- for instance, they certainly are behind assassination of
a Palestinian rocket scientist somewhere in the east (Indonesia? Malaysia?) a few months ago.
But with Epstein- there is no serious case for their involvement.
@Bardon Kaldian
Epstein was charged and had sexual contact with under age girls who could be more easily
numbered than named. Not a single one of the allegedly existent customers of Epstein were
charged. In fact the accusation by the girls is he gave them to his friends and even random
visitors to his mansion. The prosecutors charged Epstein with trafficking because that would
get him life, NOT because he was actually guilty of that by being any kind of pimp. Don't
take everything so literally.
@Bardon Kaldian I know
all about black street pimps and the teen girls they torture and murder.
You're just trying to obfuscate the issue which is
Procuring is against the law and Epstein was a procurer.
Like many, you probably have the fantasy of pampered happy escort girls making a lot of
money and living happily ever after don't you?
A lot of the escort girls get only cash tips from the customers. Some of the agencies keep
all the fees paid for with credit cards. Almost all the escort agencies cheat the girls when
it's time to pay them. The credit card companies haven't paid the escort agency yet. The 60
40 split is suddenly 70 for the agency 30 for the girls.
Suddenly the agency closes phones canceled and the girls who are owed a months pay are out
of luck as the pimps go off with all the money.
Some agencies don't really screen clients or provide body guards and the girls get beaten
and robbed . Many of the drivers and appointment makers sell drugs to the escort girls.
Hard to figure exactly your point. It appears you're claiming Epstein treated his
prostitutes better than the blacks do. True
But his blackmail financial fraud money laundering his financial services firm that did no
trading buying selling and investing are far worse crimes than running an escort service.
Even worse are the retard idiots who keep claiming that Epstein and his customers were
pedophiles.
Sex with 13 to 17 year olds for money or lust is not pedophilia.
Sex with children 12 and under is pedophilia
Wrong. Pedophiles seek sex with underage children whether 'paid for' or 'not'.
'Underage' varies by state statutes. 15 is the usual age.
Being sexually attracted to a 13 year old prostitute as opposed to 18 year old prostitute is
pedophilia.
Pedophilia is classified as a mental disease .and its not curable. It is treated in most
cases with drugs that erase the sex drive. If a pedophile stops taking the drug he will
resume preying on children.
So says my sister in law who is a psychiatrist on staff with a major hospital who has seen
a few although she treats mainly children, among whom have been a few victims of
pedophiles..
Pedophiles, like mentally deranged serial killers do know 'right from wrong' ,that is
why they hide it .they should be treated criminally the same way other offenders are.
In fact the accusation by the girls is he gave them to his friends and even random
visitors to his mansion.
Weird. Who they were, his zombie personal property so he could "give them"? No personal
will on their side?
As I see it, they were girls, both above & below 18, who were seduced by lavish
life-style & were not bound by any personal strict morality, family ties or anything
similar. Are we to believe that 15 or 16 years old girls were so clueless about life they
would not even think they live, eat, sleep in a grown man's mansions without even a hint of
giving, eh, something "in exchange"?
Are we to believe that those 15, 16, 17..years old girls were not human females, with
female sexual desires, ideas, projections & plans? That these girls did not have sexual
feelings or were totally clueless about them, like, say, about quantum algebra? That there
was not a suspicion on their side that something of a sexual nature was bound to happen,
sooner or later?
"How many other millionaires and billionaires were part of the illegal activities that he
was engaged in?" he asked. Even the BBC website has as its heading of a news story today "Jeffrey Epstein: Questions raised over financier's death."
@Corvinus Robert
Maxwell's role as "Israel's Super-Spy" was comprehensively and convincingly documented by
Gordon Thomas.
Maxwell's execution was carried out by Mossad because, as his business empire was
crumbling, he made the mistake to blackmail them for £400 millions.
Epstein's obvious link to Mossad is the background of Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as her
central involvement in organising and operating the blackmail paedophile ring.
Epstein's case was highly publicised in Europe, for many years, because of his association
with the UK's Duke of York; there never were any mention of President Trump.
I disagree re President Trump being blackmailed by Epstein: if that would have been the
case, the NeoCons wouldn't have needed to fabricate the ludicrous RussiaGate cock-and-bull
story.
While I have no problem believing that Mossad was Epstein's primary agency, I disagree with
Mr. Giraldi that CIA would have no reason to blackmail prominent Americans. Epstein's ties
with Maxwell certainly suggest a parallel career, but let's not overlook the obvious fact
that the CIA itself has long been a rogue agency ...
@YetAnotherAnon Just
read in a review of a Maxwell bio that it is thought that Maxwell thought he was headed for a
pickup of some cash he needed to cure his financial woes (that is the speculation of the
bio's authors, Gordon Thomas and someone else). Instead some Israeli ninjas boarded his
vessel, gave him a shot of something hehind the ear that took him out, and dumped him
overboard. This story, if true -- even if not true -- lends a certain piquance to the grand
guignol of the state funeral. Ghislaine may have known or suspected the truth. She hit the
grits for NY -- that is, left Israel. If I understand the story correctly. In one sense this
all sounds kind of weirdly sad, because that girl is obviously effed up bad from the get-go,
and one can't help wondering on what terms Zion owns her.
"... And at no point will there be any of the damage limitation that a trial, requiring and weighing evidence, would have put on the mushrooming of charges, rumours and speculations which has been taking and will continue to take place. ..."
"... In realistic terms the damage to the system of a few outliers, like Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew or Dershowitz being driven, red faced from public life, would be minimal.

The Epstein case is very simple: had a trial taken place-and proper trials are increasingly
rare in the USA, as the record of his Florida 'trial' shows- it had the potential of being
extremely embarrassing to a number of prominent and powerful people.
On the other hand, now that he is dead, there can be no limit to the enormous number of
allegations that can be made against him and them.
From the point of view of The Establishment, this death is far from convenient. It will
redound to the advantage of many individuals but in the long run it will contribute to an
increase in popular distrust of the entire system. And at no point will there be any of the
damage limitation that a trial, requiring and weighing evidence, would have put on the
mushrooming of charges, rumours and speculations which has been taking and will continue to
take place.
In realistic terms the damage to the system of a few outliers, like Bill Clinton, Prince
Andrew or Dershowitz being driven, red faced from public life, would be minimal. In fact it
could easily be spun as am indication that the system worked and that, in the end, an obscure
former masseur could be vindicated against Princes and ex-Presidents.
The danger is that this sordid but very routine 'scandal' will blot out real and important
matters that require public debate. How many US Presidents and English princes have not been
involved in the sort of things said to have been facilitated by Epstein? So far as Princes
go, I can think of none. And many of them, including future Kings, have done a lot worse
things than fuck teenage girls, though that has been routine for all who didn't prefer
boys.
It would be interesting to learn what lessons it is thought this affair should teach us?
Should the age of consent laws be revised to ban sexual relations between rich and poor? Or
to legislate against sexual partnerships involving an age differential of more than, say, ten
years?
Or should class society and the capitalist system, which commodifies everything and puts
the poor majority in positions in which they are vulnerable to prostitution, be abolished?
This would involve something a little more substantial than a lynch mob led by unprincipled,
loudmouth demagogues feeding off the obsessions and frustrations of the sexually
disfranchised.
These last we have had in America since the Pilgrim Fathers stumbled ashore, clutching
their Old Testaments angrily and looking for others to blame. And be punished.
As to the nonsense that Epstein has been spirited away, is not really dead and will, like
Merlin, one day return...that way madness lies.
"Mueller's Inquiry was never a serious search for truth is that at no stage was any independent forensic independence taken from
the DNC's servers, instead the word of the DNC's own security consultants was simply accepted as true. Finally no progress has been
made – or is intended to be made – on the question of who killed Seth Rich, while the pretend police investigation has "lost" his laptop.
"
"... Like the Wolfowitz explanation of the Iraq War, Russiagate is the idea around which varied interests can be organized. Cold Warriors like to hate on Russia. It justifies arms spending and their own importance. Clintonistas need an excuse to distract from her being a loser. The DNC needs an excuse for manipulating the candidate selection in favor of donor interests. "Moderates" need a distraction from their ongoing refusal to address the interests of voters. ..."
So, there we have it. Russiagate as a theory is as completely exploded as the appalling Guardian front page lie published by Kath
Viner and Luke Harding fabricating the "secret meetings" between Paul Manafort and Julian Assange in the Ecuadorean Embassy. But
the political class and the mainstream media, both in the service of billionaires, have moved on to a stage where truth is irrelevant,
and I do not doubt that Russiagate stories will thus persist. They are so useful for the finances of the armaments and security industries,
and in keeping the population in fear and jingoist politicians in power.

Just a much needed excuse to blow on the dying embers of the Cold War and get the nuclear weapons ready.
I'm still waiting for Robert Mueller to be tried for lying to Congress (when asked who hired him, instead of saying "I have no
idea", he said "Bush!" It is a matter of public record that Reagan hired him, a blatant lie! Is Michael Flynn out of jail yet?)

They are also extremely useful as a scapegoat for the corporate warmongering DNC to camouflage the genuine reasons they lost

If Russia actually wanted to help someone win I think it would be Hilary because Trump is a plain shooter from the hip and
takes nothing off of nobody.
If anything Sanders should had sued the DNC and Hilary for rigging the DNC
Go figure why he has kept his mouth shut.
Bif Webster , August 12, 2019 at 11:13
Putin preferred Obama to his running mates as well. But you won't ever hear that on the corporate "news" media.
Others sued on behalf of Bernie. That case died in south Florida, near Wasserman-Schultz's district yeah, and the excuse was,
"The DNC is a 'private organization" and do what they like, apparently. However, the "judge" did not find it odd that a private
entity can run a public election? And how there's an obvious conflict of interest involved?
Bernie kept his mouth shut because he's inside the Belly of the Beast.
Martin , August 12, 2019 at 11:54
i think there was something of a lawsuit, but the judge decided that the rigging was an inside thing to which no external laws
applied. if you got a non-profit or a company and there's no internal rules that forbid the rigging of votes, rigging is not illegal.
the superdelegates still exist.
Seer , August 12, 2019 at 12:04
He kept his mouth shut because advancing "My Revolution" was more important. And, because he's NOT a Democrat: he's only "allowed"
to run as one: he is therefore a little more constrained. Had he lashed out he'd have NOT been allowed to run again as a Democrat
-- bank on that!
Tulsi Gabbard, on the other hand, is a Democrat, in which case she really couldn't be kicked out: it was she who acted as Bernie's
mouth on this matter.
Trump is a piece of crap. There's nothing straight about him at all. He's a con-man of the highest order. Other than give money
to the rich he's done nothing: and "nothing," is probably the best that could have been hoped for given that he could have started
some wars (he hasn't found one that he feels safe would not undermine his presidency, otherwise he'd be lighting it up). The reason
the guy is so good at firing people is because he's so crappy about firing them.
Oh yeah, I have not cast a single vote for anyone I have mentioned here.
evelync , August 12, 2019 at 13:20
Interesting question, Larry Mofield!
Bernie's not a stupid guy and I believe (as does Cornel West and Noam Chomsky) he's dedicated to policies that serve working people
and sustainability.(as I see it – reversing the NeoLiberal agenda in order to restore a level playing field for working people and also to shift
to a democratic, non imperial foreign policy.)
So why didn't he, let's call him "David", not aim his slingshot at the DNC, let's call it "Goliath"?
Probably because a single stone in a slingshot was hopeless. He was up against a massive corrupt network of hangers on, IMO,
who rabidly shouted down the person who dared to question Clinton's policies.
For an even more recent example of a delusional grandiose, imperial mind set, let's take the 200+ people affiliated with the
JFK School of Government at Harvard. The ones who accepted the School's shameful withdrawal of Chelsea Manning's honorary fellowship
because Pompeo and Morrell attacked it with Cold War rhetoric. Manning's crime? Telling people the truth about horrific wrongdoing
she witnessed in Iraq. When I emailed 200 people at the JFK School a shame-on-you letter I heard back from only one who chastised
(threatened) me for not understanding "National Security" .say what????) Others chimed in to agree with her. (I shared that email
with Robert Parry at the time and he emailed back that he didn't blame me for being outraged. He was such a wonderful person.)
So Bernie had the whole MSNBC related propaganda machine at his throat.
– think Mimi Rocah's recent "he makes my skin crawl" comment, knowing surely, that her words would be applauded over there.
and think all the people who have accepted since 2016 that the Russians cost Hillary Clinton the election in denial over the truth
– a flawed candidate who seemed to consider her constituency the big banks and the polluters and the war machine.
I know lifelong conservative Republicans who liked Bernie in 2016 and like him now because they find him truthful but didn't
trust Clinton and some voted for Trump in order to beat her.
This country is filled with a patronage network of well off established people including Democrats who believe everything's fine
as it is and are willing to shut their eyes to what's not working – the financial crisis of the working class, the racism underlying
the for profit prison system and immigration system, the horrific endless regime change wars and the massive deregulation of banks
on Bill Clinton's watch and much more, including the Climate Crisis.
It's taken almost 3 years to discredit what apparently was a faux "excuse" why Hillary Clinton lost. Too many voters in key
states didn't trust her to serve their interests because she clearly was an apparatchik for the MICIMATT.
Enough of Trump's voters were willing to gamble on this "unknown" character who piggy backed off what Bernie was saying at
the time – too bad he was lying ..
rosemerry , August 12, 2019 at 15:39
The whole suggestion has ignored any words and actions of Pres. Putin, who is careful to keep to the truth. He often stated
that he would accept whoever the US population chose (ie did not even want to lean towards the one claiming to desire better relations,
let alone interfere) because the difference between US administrations was small and policies unlikely to change in 2016. Because
the US constantly causes "régime change" does not mean that Russia does. The quick decision to "blame Russia" immediately after
Trump's win, activated by Obama expelling diplomats and stealing their US property, set the ball rolling and it has not stopped.
T he AP and no doubt other media are setting the stage for claiming that if Trump is reelected in 2020, the Russians again
were responsible. As HItler learned, repeat a lie often enough and it will assume the appearance of truth. It's not surprising
that the Democrats led by Hillary are behind this maneuver. The Dems have been blaming Russia ever since Truman did so in 1945.
Sally Snyder , August 12, 2019 at 08:05
As shown in this article, key Western countries including the United States have put in place a mechanism that is supposed
to protect us from election meddling:
Given the anti-Russia bias that took root and has become pervasive in the West since 2014 and, in particular, since the Hillary
Clinton loss in 2016 which is blamed on Russian-sourced disinformation, it is interesting to see that the G7 has been driven to
take extreme moves to battle what they see as an "evil Russia".

I agree. The FACT that the US has been sanctioning Russia for the better part of 100 years pretty much tells it all. It's about
the West's ruling elite keeping Their game going: but, nothing lasts forever, and this game is about to run out on them (the perpetual
growth model, which has given them their power, is ending).
Realist , August 12, 2019 at 00:18
Unless he was being sarcastic, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough tweeted that the Russians were probably behind Jeff Epstein's "suiciding"
in the high security NYC federal lockup!
Anyone who truly believes that Epstein actually took his own life probably does still have a severe case of Putin Derangement
Syndrome, aka Russophrenia, Russiagate-itis, -osis or whatever ya wanna call it. Their minds cannot co-exist within both the Deep
State Matrix and objective reality at the same time. Blaming all evil in the world on Russia gives them license to act outside
conventional morality with impunity.
Mark Stanley , August 12, 2019 at 11:32
Yes, they are endeavoring to tip-toe around this one. If Epstein had started squealing, the excrement would really have hit
the fan. After his purported suicide, the smokescreen "conspiracy" word popped up immediately in every mainstream mention of Epstein.
If the populace found out about the deranged sexual practices of too many of the world's elites it would certainly upset the apple
cart–to use an American expression.

This IS VERY DEEP! First three parts of this most excellent four part series is available, starting with this one (Mint Press

After reading this I now understand why Trump won't release his tax returns.
Realist , August 12, 2019 at 18:12
Seer,
Probably, because like Romney, he didn't pay any.
Dershowitz's client Leonna Helmsley explained the principle decades ago: "Only the little people pay taxes." Probably as truthful
a description of the American system as you will ever hear. Sadly, it went down the memory hole because the media will never mention
it again. Investigative reporters like David Cay Johnston have to write individually researched books on the subject and hope
that the swamp creatures don't seek retribution against him some dark night.
The most the public is ever going to get in this world is perhaps a brief glimmer of the truth through the hard work and suffering
of individuals like Assange, Manning and a few other brave altruistic souls, but never justice. The system is set up to sacrifice
the lives of millions for the benefit of dozens.
Despite strong evidence that he too participated in Epstein sex crimes, Alan Dershowitz
was allowed to lead the best legal dream team Mossad blackmail money could buy. Despite all
the proven facts surrounding this case, the Dershowitz dream team successfully "convinced"
the US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida to neither charge Epstein nor any of his
pimp co-conspirators with sex trafficking underage girls across state lines, and of course
nor dare prosecute any of the other frequent flying VIP child molester
The pit-bullish Dershowitz gang included Kenneth Starr, chief investigator from the
Clinton-Lewinsky soap opera who never fails to evoke the religious high moral ground yet in
the next breath claims he's more than happy to have gotten a pedophile-trafficker off.
Other hotshot aces in the hole were Florida trial lawyer Roy Black and star attorney
Gerald Lefcourt among others. Dershowitz and Lefcourt's letter to Acosta's office prior to
their successful plea bargain emphasized Epstein's super close ties to Bill and Hillary
Clinton, touting how the billionaire pedophile "co-founded" the infamous Clinton Foundation,
accused by philanthropy law expert Charles Ortel of being "the largest unprosecuted fraud in
history." Speaking of which, a whistleblower at a Swiss bank has revealed that Jeffrey
Epstein used his Swiss bank account to send Bill Clinton $3.5 million shortly after his
pedophilia probe began in 2005.
The philandering and pedophilia of elites and politicians clearly gave intelligence againces
significant leverage over many movers and shakers within Western establishments
@Haxo Angmark Why
would anyone have to bring down Trump? The man is fully compromised, a puppet and the FBI has
already likely 15 years of material on him as revealed in Kushner, Inc.
There is the possibility that Epstein functioned as a pass to the highest echelons: you
would compromise yourself by having intercourse with minors, let Epstein record it, hand it
over to Mossad and possibly other agencies he worked with. To show that you can be trusted.
Not unlike Unz himself suggested and exemplified by McCain.
But that is not necessary for Trump. Netanyahu gets everything he wants. And the whole
Trump campaign was a distraction, bankrolled by Sheldon Adelson and managed by a former AIPAC
guy and Christian Zionist and personal friend of Adelson Steve Bannon no less. Anyone who
still believes Trump is not part of the deepest filth of "the swamp" is delusional and
ignores way too many facts.
There is no left, no right. There is no democracy. There is an unelected oligarchy and its
political puppets. Long since bought and paid for before you and I were even born
@peterAUS Well, the
particularity with Epstein is: Many people did and are paying attention. Millions.
And the elite knows that we know. As you said it yourself: this was not just a
cover-up. It was a demonstration of power directed at us.
And they are laughing at us; as they are getting away; as they are taking every bit of
freedom and sovereignty away which the patriot act hadn’t already devoured, through
bipartisan decision of the system which should (theoretically) serve the people.
The Dystopia is also already here: the cold-blooded apathy with which the ruling class in
Britain treated victims as in Rotherham, the Savile case and now Epstein exposing their true
characters, and those are also the leaders and elites who lecture us on morality: Ghislaine
Maxwell -- save nature! Clinton Foundation, Mother Merkel… It’s disgusting.
And so many unthinkable theories which were declared “conspiracy theories”
about WW2, the aftermath and our current reality turn out to be true.
But I agree: the internet allowed us to decode the illusion of the media Matrix and its
artificial reality. And it is those possibilities which the ruling class wants to snuff out
for good. So that the monopoly to manufacture consent, truth and reality goes back to
them
Systemic elite kompromat shielded with arbitrary acts spanning all levels of government. Now
anybody who tells you this is a democracy, or an open society, or a free country, or any of
that shit, is either a mental defective or a pedo CP star in Comey’s personal Playpen
stash.
You can’t pretend we’re ever going to vote our way out of this. We’re
deep in the forcible-overthrow zone. If you aspire to rights or rule of law lots of CIA
vermin are going to have to be Ceaușescued.
@Bardon Kaldian‘…All pimps are criminals. But not all criminals are the same.’
Indeed. Some grow up in circumstances at least as dreadful as those of their victims, and
while they indeed need to be locked up, are to be pitied as well.
Others have been given perfectly decent lives, and are even affluent — and yet still
commit acts of depravity and cruelty.
These I have no sympathy for at all. Who is worse: the person who has never known a decent
life, or the person who has been offered it, but prefers moral depravity?
Jeffrey Epstein enjoyed chewing up unfortunate children and spitting them out like
sunflower husks when he was done. There was nothing keeping him from being a reasonably
decent, moral man.
During the ensuing decade since Epstein’s conviction, the seedy truth has slowly
trickled out, exposing the dark, twisted, perverse sex slave trafficking operation that
Epstein and his bevy of co-conspirators recruited child victims as sex slaves from poor
neighborhoods in Florida, New York, South America, Europe and Russia, including three
12-year old girls from France as a birthday gift. Incredibly, his procuring pimp
co-conspirators and scores of powerful pedo patrons were all granted immunity…
"... A black man's body is found wrapped in chains at the bottom of the Detroit River. The police were saying it was an accidental death caused by him stealing more chains than he could swim with. ..."
The likelihood of Epstein committing suicide reminds me of two other "suicide" stories.
... ... ...
Finally, there is a greatly modified joke from my long ago misspent youth. A black man's
body is found wrapped in chains at the bottom of the Detroit River. The police were saying it
was an accidental death caused by him stealing more chains than he could swim with.
Numerous Democrats, including former New Mexico Governor & Obama admin official Bill Richardson, 16 current Democrat Congressmen
identified as perpetrators by Epstein victims:
"... I am just now reading David Martin's new book "The Assassination of James Forrestal", about a 1949 murder by the Zionists disguised as suicide. ..."
"... He can sit around with the Skripals and talk over old times. ..."
"... He probably became more of a liability and/or stepped on some toes higher up in the food chain. How many former Israeli prime ministers will attend his funeral? Ghislaine's lawyers will be happy, she was a victim of Epstein too. Poor child. ..."
"... Well said. Indeed, loss of trust in governments is key, and this event utterly destroys the little trust that remained. Other western governments have the same problem also. ..."
Reports are that he was 'found dead' at 7:30 am local time, he was supposedly on suicide
watch, he was a tremendously valuable witness, he could trade his testimony for leniency, a
lot of very important people were worried.
No one will believe that Epstein committed suicide voluntarily, I certainly don't.
Not extraditing. I am just now reading David Martin's new book "The Assassination of James Forrestal",
about a 1949 murder by the Zionists disguised as suicide.
He probably became more of a liability and/or stepped on some toes higher up in the food
chain.
How many former Israeli prime ministers will attend his funeral? Ghislaine's lawyers will be happy, she was a victim of Epstein too. Poor child.
Why would anyone watch House of Cards? The real life soap called American politics is way
more fun and interesting.
Make no mistake, Ghislaine will never be extradited by TPTB, for they are still designating
her a "Madame"; just a very naughty lady who was adept at pleasing her clients and her
"partner". Not a spy, not a slave trader, just an independent and shrewd Mommy of sorts. "
Lady Madame Ghislaine". A glamour girl to the end. And without a doubt she'll get the
same state funeral as her father when her time comes. That is, if Israel is still a state
when she kicks the bucket.
Jeffry Epstein suicided- makes it obvious, that the deep state mafia regime in control was
feeling intense heat, some one(s) important in the deep state decided overt killing a
prisoner in federal prison and trying to defuse the news and public' obvious disbelief in
cause and method, is worth killing him and divert and defuse the mess. For sure the names
that would have become public was going to destabilize the DC regime. In next few days before
the news is buried, we will see how MSM will divert the narrative, away from the names it is
trying to protect. For sure at one time he was "made" and one the "Goodfellas" .

The only way his 'suicide' can be considered an actual suicide is if his handlers had so much
leverage over him that they could persuade that he (and any loved ones he might have) would
all be much better off if he did it himself than if he forces them to do it for him.
That's a possibility I suppose. But the idea that he did just because he couldn't handle
life anymore simply doesn't warrant any consideration at all.
I responded to Your last response to me on this thread:
The MoA Week In Review - OT 2019-45
It is the last entry on that thread. Just wanted to let You know.
-----
How convenient that Epstein is no longer in the perpetrator protection program. The
witness protection program was obviously never considered, or applied. Someone wrote that the
Epstein case proved that there are two justice systems in the US: one for the rich and one
for the suckers. Although that is not quite correct, as the one for the suckers must be
called Injustice System.
It also goes to show, that while people desperately attempt to change their 'elected
officials', they have no whatsoever control over the 'unelected officials'. Those decide over
the (In-)Justice system with impunity. How would the 'Supreme' Court look like if The
People would elect its members? Citizen United would have never happened? But that it did
- outside of any say of the population it affected the most - is one reason why the truth
about Epstein's Johns will never surface. How many of the supreme court justices visited
'penetrate-a-minor-girl island?
Correct. No evidence has yet to emerge. Your beliefs notwithstanding.
If I were Epstein I would have a powerful motive to commit suicide. And some may have
powerful motive to murder him. There is nothing yet to suggest her was murdered.
I cite this as an example of the disinformational slippery slope which in other contexts
leads to the election of Trump, for instance, or the passage of Brexit.
IOW, suicide is not the only form of self-inflicted self-harm.
That probably means he was just a really rich pervert whose luck ran out rather than a Mossad
or CIA asset tasked with collecting kompromat on influential people. A pampered twit
like Epstein, used to a life of luxury and leisure, in jail on a sex charge would be eaten
alive and quite possibly killed. I speculated after he was arrested that he would try to kill
himself if he faced a long stretch in jail and it looks like that's what happened. Of course
plenty of people will claim his suicide was faked etc. but unless they have credible evidence
to back that up I will go with 'Occam's razor' on this.
We live in a national security state run by criminals. Expecting justice from the legal
system is like expecting to elect a president who will drain the swamp. It is a democracy
theme park, where the levers and handles are not attached to anything.
Epstein's death - assuming he hasn't been "spirited" away to somewhere welcoming and
unwilling to extradite, ever, (I wonder which "country" that might be) - and its timing is
awfully convenient.
And the fact that he was supposedly on suicide watch after his "apparent" attempt some
days earlier gives one pause. Either the so-called suicide watch is really negligent and
Epstein was given/allowed both the "space" and the means (surely the means would, under
suicide watch, be rendered null?) or his death by *suicide* is questionable.
We forget that there are still other (((predators))) on the loose to include Polanski, Woody
Allen, and a list of others. I will not say that they are all jews because George Bush Sr,
was a known pedophile and he died at a ripe old age of 94 (and some people believe in
karma..yeah right). Of course he was also the head of the CIA and the Warren commission, so
he could afford to do what he did and get away with it. Don't believe me, check into the
Franklin Child Abuse scandal and this Washington Times article. http://www.voxfux.com/features/bush_child_sex_coverup/franklin.htm
Unless "We the People" take these predators down, they will continue to destroy
children.
Since hollywood is so bankrupt for ideas i wonder if someone will do a citizen kane type
story based on epistein, For those who dont know citizen kane was basically an unflattering
biography about a thinly veiled william randolph hurst expry (Hurst did everything possible
to try to kill the film when he heard about it). This might be the only way we get anything
close to even an approximation of what the truth was behind Epistein
div> Can't help but think about Deborah Jeane Palfrey, known as the "D.C.
Madam," was also suicided.
I especially like how his suicide was staged on a Friday evening when people wont be paying
that much attention. That has always been the best time for governments to release bad news
I wonder if they will do an autopsy, or maybe he will get "cremated" right away? If the
former, I'd say maybe he actually did kill himself, if the latter, definitely not. Of course
autopsies don't have to be accurate either. "Who gets the remains?" is another good question.
"Why the heck did he show up to get arrested like that?" is another one.
Wow!! Those suckers at the BBC manage NOT to mention Maxwell or Prince Andrew (ok... they are
mentioned in some of the links they give, but come one!!) https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-49306032
Epstein, never married, no acknowledeged children. Odd for someone who wanted to populate the
world with his progeny... someone suggested that now his estate(s) canbe freely searched. We
will see if this all goes away or if some pitbulls in Miami keep after others who have been
implicated. When the DC Madam was murdered/committed suicide every lead went dark and her
little black book disappeared as I recall...

I read that book last month! The official story still stands but the truth is out there. And
it was not surprising to see that any evidence contrary to the official story of a paranoid,
crazy man committing suicide didn't go anywhere.
I expect the Epstein story and its details to fade as well because many in power want it
to. It's been interesting to read of the ties between Bill Browder, Robert Maxwell, and
Jeffrey Epstein. Very shady dealings with so much submerged.
does this require elaboration? I read your linked Daily News article. I have spent some
time behind bars myself (although not for sex crimes I hasten to add) and while not in
possession of as lavish lifestyle as Epstein I would probably have a difficult time
tolerating much of the rest of my life spent in similar conditions.
And I get that Club Fed is a much better living environment than pre-trial holding cells
but only by degrees...and he was going to be held in pre-trial for a long time while
the press and alt media had a field day with his story.
The Clinton conection of course leads to all sorts of rightwing created conspiracy
theorues which Barflies too love to swarm all over like a fresh batch of dogshit on the
sidewalk.
Clinton likes/liked having sex with young, possible underage girls?
They all say they cut ties with Epstein 12 years ago when the charges first surfaced. And
yet, Epstein still got around and hobnobbed with the rich and shameless ever since then.
Epstein by all recent accounts wasn't actually "smart", just pathologically driven and
well-funded. Someone gave him a leg-up very early on; just an undeniable fact if you study
his bio. He would not have any incriminating evidence stored at his properties or in his
personal effects, it would've been funneled to whoever he was working for long ago. Point is,
he trusted his bosses. His brain, Ghislaine's brain; those are the only two places outside of
Tel Aviv that the info was still stored.
If he had prepared a dead man's switch, he would have pulled it years ago.
I find the Pavlovian reactions shown here by quite a number of people very painful to
witness.
Like there can be any doubt Epstein would have more than enough reason to kill himself.
A sexual marauder, a high-roller, the world's no. 1 pimp, probably an "Intelligence" asset
in a class of its own, a guy who knew none of the boundaries us mortals usually face
– confined to a tiny cell and prison life. With the prospect of having your sad and
perverse life dissected in court, of having to explain and justify your actions, of having
to go through harrowing witnesses' statements. Yeah, what's not to look forward to in
there?
Yours is by far the most Pavlovian reaction to this news. Or is it 'news'?
Let me get this straight for your to think about it. The guy has enough money to spend
after he gets out of jail. How any years would he get in a Justice system that was lenient in
the first place? Different folks now in the Justice Department? Let's say he would get five
years, no make it ten. I seriously doubt he wouldn't get parole after some time for exemplary
behavior. And he promised to not continue his crimes. Remember that it suffices to confess to
the public and apologize for what you did - for the evangelical faction to forgive you. Hell,
make that 'Christian faction'. He would sign a confidentiality agreement in exchange for his
life to those who would take it otherwise. Lots of money to use in a corrupted society.
Jeffrey Epstein would know that the average attention span of Americans is as long as the
trail of a shooting star in the night. Another mass shooting and "Who? Epstein? Never heard
of him."
It is you, who fits the findings of Pavlov quite well. However, from personal experience
at the Humane Society, I know that there is no dog that cannot be re-trained, or
re-conditioned to be a friendly doggie.
My first thought. In fact, I had this thought as soon as I heard of the first Epstein
suicide "attempt." I am sure I am not alone. Just when we thought we were going to see whose
names actually were in her little black book, she conveninetly disappears, and the little
black book slides down the memory hole.
Remember it was Reagan who said: Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on
me.
Oh, yes, and Gary Webb supposedly also committed suicide. And a number of the JFK
witnesses who planned to come forward some years/decades after his death---poof! Heart attack
the day before the planned interrogation (see Douglass, JFK and the Unspeakable).
Anyone who believes this new (and richly predicted) suicide story is a fool. Gimme an
effing break!
The guy was on "suicide watch"! That can only mean that the people in charge of this supposed
watch were the ones who administered the tiny shot (leaves no trace in the skin) that brought
about heart failure.
How convenient, just after Florida opened its own investigation into the original plea
arraignment that threatened to unseal Epstein's financial records. But just because Epstein's
no more doesn't mean the investigation should end; others in the DoJ broke the law then, not
Epstein. Plus, his operation was what's known as a "ring", a conspiracy, a racketeering
operation involving numerous others, some known, some not. I wonder what his will says?
The flaw in your argument is that Epstein wasn't getting out this time and he knew it.
He may have been killed and he may have killed himself precisely because of what is to
follow.
I believe like Karlof1 that the investigation should definitely continue because of what
is to follow and also now should include whether or not Epstein was "suicided".
And if Clinton or Prince Andrew or wtf is found guilty of sex crimes then he should rot in
jail too.
After all, Bill Cosby, white Amerikkka's favourite black father figure went to jail didn't
he? Although granted he is black and he is also forgotten at this point in the ever rushing
news cycle....but he is still behind bars, isn't he?

To those who think "suicide watch" is some magical way to prevent suicide, and that his death
would imply some action by a third party to kill him, maybe i can shed some light on the
procedure, as it is handled in Germany (And very likely at least inspired from US
procedures):
1. The inmate does get a cell with a fellow inmate, so he is not alone, and is observed by
that inmate too.
2. Additionally, to normal security measures, the inmate gets taken away all things with
which he could harm himself
3. Wardens control the inmate visually in a pre determined interval of e.g. 15 minutes, 30
minutes, 60 minutes.
4. In special cases inmates are transferred into special cells with rubber walls and floors,
like one would think in a mental hospital (Gummizelle is the German term).
Now, in consequence:
1. When the other inmate does not look, sleeps or simply does not give a shit, this has no
effect
2. While belts, show laces and sharp things are removed, one can easily improvise a rope from
a piece of bed linen etc. to hand themselves on the water fountain or classically on the
window grille, jump from a double story bed head first breaking ones neck or bleeding
themselves, slitting the wrist to bleed to death (something sharp can always be found or
made, overdosing on drugs the inmate acquired from other inmates...
I myself have witnessed multiple people successfully kill themselves under suicide watch
in the pretty short times i myself was an inmate in a maximum security prison. And i myself
have been at times under suicide watch, and I know myself that if you want to do it, you got
plenty of options.
After some days you know how the system works, and have multiples options if you choose
so.
Plus, guards are always lazy, and cheat on the interval. E.g. checking only once an hour
instead of every 15 minutes.
But even the 15 minutes is plenty of time.
So him being on suice watch and still killing himself IS NO PROOF OF NOTHING.
That said, i dont exclude something like this.
Maybe he had a conscience. Maybe he felt ashamed. Maybe not, and only had not the balls to
face what he did.
Maybe some told him it would be better for him, or that there are actually people he loved
and that he got threatened that those people would be hurt.
Who knows? Not we certainly.
IMHO it is TYPICALL for such people as him to commit suicide.
He may have some smarts concerning the rich and famous, but in a federal jail, he is
FUCKED.
EVERYONE WILL TRY TO GET A PIECE OF HIS ASS AND MONEY!
JUST LIKE EVERY FUCKING PEDO IN EVERY JAIL ON EARTH!
And no solitary confinement (Already gone on suicide watch, where he is at least in a 2 man
cell) can protect him.
Taking a shower, free time, sport, work, visiting waiting cell.. Countless times to get that
mofo, and put a shank to his dick.
A pedo is already done in prison, but a prominent pedo???
He killed himself to not get assfucked till it bleeds, to not have to get abused like he
abused.
He had no future, and he doing himself was realizing he played out.
As chance would have it, AOC appears to have a House of Representatives oversight role
with regard to Epstein's 'suicide' and is loudly demanding answers; she sounds a lot more
sceptical than you!
This is a good opportunity to show if she has substance. Let's see what she does!
One self-proclaimed corrections officer said on Reddit that Epstein's suicide should
never have been possible.
I'm a corrections officer. This should never have been possible. During the intake
process due to the nature of his crimes and being famous he should have already been on
special watch. Then after the first attempt he would have been in a special cell. He
would be in what we call a "pickle suit" it's a green suit that you can't tear or tie to
anything. His blankets would be the same material. He would only get hygiene products
under supervision. Only thing allowed in his cell would be a book and court papers. Then
we would be monitored more closely. This is a huge failing on the jail. I want a massive
investigation on how this was able to happen.
/div> The NYT this morning is reporting that it is not known if Epstein was
on a suicide watch. Clearly, he should have been after the recent incident in which he was
found unconscious and with injury marks around his neck. I think it is not at all unlikely that
he did commit suicide, but also that he was allowed or even aided in doing so.

It's probably too early to draw the curtains on the Epstein nothing-burger. It's not at all
clear to me that ANY of the under age women were pre-pubescent children. Bonking under age
females with breasts and pubic hair is known as Statutory Rape in most Western countries; the
assumption being that the bonkee is deemed to be too young to give Informed Consent to sex
with an adult male. If there's no allegation or evidence of coercion by the bonker then it's
not a hanging offense.
The mystery surrounding Epstein's rags to riches good fortune has not yet been fully
explained, although if it's true that he had charisma then he was probably capable of
seducing/ charming males as well as females.
IF he was running a honey-trap blackmail scam as a sole trader then he will fade from
History surrounded by a blizzard of "???". If on the other hand he was a "useful idiot"
running the scam on behalf, and for the benefit of, powerful people then one suspects that he
will have left a "dead man's letter" so that he'd have the last laugh.
A dead man's letter is only as good as the entity one trusts to ensure that it's
disseminated. WikiLeaks would be my top pick for a trustworthy publisher and The Swamp is
moving Heaven and Earth to keep Assange incommunicado until he can be suicided.
I think you are missing the fundamental issue regarding the circumstances of Epstein's
death, it is no longer Epstein's crimes and that of his co-conspirators, it is a systemic
loss of Trust in the government and political elites. The allegations against Epstein and his
associates were extremely serious, at the absolute minimum they involved major political and
economic figures involved in sex trafficking and the sexual abuse of minors, the worst
allegations were that foreign individuals or governments had gained compromising information
about these figures and used it subvert the government policies for their benefits. I do not
know if all of these allegations were, but at least some of these allegations involving
sexual abuse were truth (Epstein himself admitted as much when he took the original guilty
plea).
In re-arresting Epstein under new charges, the government itself also asserted that 1)
they believed Epstein committed other crimes and 2) they were reasonably likely to get a
conviction at a trial (prosecutors are not supposed to bring charges against people unless
they think they can get a conviction at trial). Again, I do not know if all of these
allegations were true, but in bring a case the government said that they believed that they
were. Lastly, in refusing to grant bail to Epstein, the government clearly and publicly took
on the responsibility of protecting Epstein from ALL THREATS (including himself, other
inmates, guards, health issues, everything) while he was in their custody.
The fact that Epstein, allegedly, tried to commit suicide a week ago and was then moved to
the highest level of care and security by the government where he then dies after "allegedly"
committing suicide is a huge, public and devastating failure of the government to fulfill
their obligations to society, the courts and even Epstein (that is assuming Epstein really is
dead). This is made all the worst by the fact that many, many people (Zerohedge, moon of
alabama, RT, infowars, the Duran among others) had stated their fears that Epstein would be
murdered in such a way by powerfully forces within the government and political elites, in
the eyes of these people, their concerns have been fully vindicated. By failing to fulfill
their obligations in such a public way, especially after being warned repeatedly by people
concerned about just such a situation unfolding, the US government has hugely discredited
itself and legitimized the believe that the US government and the political elite is deeply,
systematically corrupt.
Now, undoubtedly the US government and society will not be fatally undermined by a single
event such as this. But for the prior 30 years (at least), the US government and society seem
unable to generate successes for anyone except the top 1% and indeed seems openly hostile to
the very idea that government should ever create a benefit for anyone except the 1% or that
the political and economic elite should ever be held accountable for any failure or crimes
they commit (the 2001 tech bubble, the Iraq war, the 2008 financial crisis, Libya, Syria,
Iran, Venezuela and now the Epstein scandal). At some point a critical threshold will be
breeched and people will slowly stop believing in the various government narratives on events
and public policies. Many American already reject the US government's narrative on 9/11, the
Iraq war, Syria now some of them will add the Epstein episode to their list of disbelieved
narratives. Unless the US government reverses course and starts rebuilding it's legitimacy
and trust, this rejection of US government narratives will spread to the most fundamental
government narrative, that the US government is the legitimate government of the people. Once
that narrative is disbelieved by as little as 1/3 of the population, the US (as it currently
exists) is doomed. When will that happen, that's the $64 question although I personally
believe it will be within the next 20 years unless some reforming figure arises
Since he was certainly a spook it makes sense that he knew he had to commit suicide by
himself. Suicided, yes, but by his owners who dropped him. The guy still thought recently he
could be released on bail.
Now what about the many pages missing from the published documents?? and those pages where
she starts talking about some big guys and have a lot of black on the lines??
The details of Trump's only ride on an Epstein plane, from Florida to NY, he 'hitched a
ride' - no girls. It is curious, as Ilargi, no Trump fan, points out the MSM has never
bothered to report this, plus keeps on suggesting that Trump is involved with Epstein,
insinuating guilt by association (sex trafficking, pedophilia, prostitution, abuse,
blackmail, etc.) Publishing that photo of Epstein w. Trump and Maxwell, Melania, over and
over.
Giuffre (> recent doc release) confirms - Trump never flirted with her, she never saw
Trump involved with any girls. (see also dan 77)
The MSM goes so far as to not report court cases, witness testimony, legal conclusions,
etc. from the US judiciary (itself notoriously corrupt!) -> even the minor attempts to
uphold say, the first amendment / some small parts of the rule of law.. are ignored, hidden,
flatly denied..
Circe might accuse me of supporting Trump! - NO, no..no...

The lies haven't got so blatant that the narrative managers are asking to disregard any
logic to believe their stories. This Epstein case I have personally been following since
2015. From all that I read of the guy, suicide doesn't seem like his way. Ratting everyone
else out seemed more his style. Thus I lean more on a hit job more than anything.
I didn't really know Jeffrey. He was like Boo Radley in the corner of the room. After I met
him, he became Jeffrey Epstein, he had no interest in me. He knew right out of the box who
the players were, the people who would stay out all night, people who had interests in
extracurricular objectives, and who the hitters were. That wasn't me." ... The Wall Street
names in the book range from the highly prominent to the obscure, and, for some unknown
reason, a disproportionate number of names of bankers in it worked once upon a time at
Lazard, my old firm.
Cohan dutifully records passing events in the outside world, such as the near-bankruptcy of
New York, which Mr Rohatyn averted, and various mergers and acquisitions. But the
interesting action was taking place in Lazard's allegedly dingy (they never seemed that bad
to me) offices in the Rockefeller Center, where the "great men" who advised big companies
plied their trade.
The emphasis was on the "men". Cohan records that partners from Meyer to Mr David-Weill
and Mr Rohatyn imported a French attitude to extramarital liaisons and the first women who
worked there as bankers were apparently propositioned constantly. One young woman is even
said to have been raped by two junior bankers, and according to Cohan's account the
bankers were eased out to avoid embarrassment.
But just because Epstein's no more doesn't mean the investigation should end

This can't be stressed enough.
The Great US of A are absolutely FUCKEDUP. Remember what's at stake are proven and alleged

or otherwise, are criminal organization type crimes. These crimes shall be prosecuted
under the law. Except there is no law to be under anymore.
We can all speculate on suicide vs "suicided" but in my opinion this is several degrees
below the bar, at this point I don't even think it matters that part of the discussion. I'm
slightly disappointed at today's comments, but since I can't myself bring up to par, I extend
it myself.
There isn't any hard evidence that Epstein was murdered, true. But if the death of the sole
named accused in arguably the most high profile case in decades, involving the most
well-connected elites, steeped foreign intelligence connections, in a federal prison, on
suicide watch, alone in a cell wearing a paper suit, with no shoelaces, under 24/7 watch
doesn't arose your suspicions, you are a special kind of obtuse. Suicide watch is designed
specifically to not allow what supposedly happened. At a minimum, it is a scandal in its own
right. But to happen to Epstein now, just as the trail was getting rolling, on Friday - the
day known to 'bury' stories, in a federal facility in Manhattan, is as fishy as fishy gets.
If you want to mock those who point that out, it reflects much more on your naivety than
anyone else's.
He wasn't just "bonking" underage women, he was trafficking them - internationally and on
a large scale. And he threatened them as well. These women were fearful.
If your daughter had been one of those "bonked", trafficked, and threatened at 15 or 16
years old maybe you wouldn't be so cavalier.
Furthermore, it's difficult to believe a wealthy person like Epstein would risk their
wealth and prestige so blatantly without some belief that they were protected. Many believe
that his protection came from Mega/Mossad. So the serial rapist was likely part of a criminal
conspiracy that was aided and abetted by a foreign government.
I used to think you had a functioning moral compass.
My BS detector has been bleeping almost non-stop since the US war on Serbia, as far as I'm
concern when the US makes an assertion they need to provide verifiable evidence to back up
their claims. my personal opinion is that Epstein didn't commit suicide, heck, I'm not even
sure if he's really dead but if he is dead, he was probably murdered.
Kadath @106 Well said. Indeed, loss of trust in governments is key, and this event utterly destroys the
little trust that remained. Other western governments have the same problem also.
Epstein was in custody of someone. Whether Epstien was "suicided" or his death was faked, in a functioning state that
someone would be brought to justice, and that would go up the chain of command until the highest culprit is found. But we live
in a system that is either a Banana Republic or a Mafia State
Had you given thought to: Banana Mafia State Democracy ?

false choices and a
load of shite.. how is a crony capitalism, banana mafia run country supposed to be a sovereign state?? personally i can't
see it.. pat lang as usual is for the most part, off his rocker..sovereign state my ass..
FWIW New Eastern Outlook is running a story by Gordon Duff on Epstein's murder including citing Bill Richardson and plutonium
theft from USA stockpile. Messad gets a mention.
I put investigative journalism between quotation marks because the editors of the NYT probably already know who killed Epstein.
"Playing along" with the investigative narrative would be the more appropriate term.
Even the New York Times is reporting that 2 guards who were supposed to check on Epstein every 30 minutes since he was in "protective"
custody didn't do their rounds, or not all of their rounds, on Friday night into Saturday morning:
Mr. Epstein was supposed to have been checked by the two guards in the protective housing unit every 30 minutes, but that
procedure was not followed that night, a law-enforcement official with knowledge of his detention said.
Nothing to see here, move along, don't care that the doctors at Parkland said publicly and unambiguously that day that JFK
was shot from the front.
If you look at Epstein, he was a cog in the one of the largest White Slave trade endeavors for a country that begins with I and
ends in an L (or better known as Occupied Palestine). Israel has been noted for years to have one of the largest white slave sex
trade operations in the world. Bringing in young white Estonian, Latvian, and other eastern european white girls for jobs as maids,
nanny's, and other domestic help, until upon arrival their passports are taken and they have to work in brothels for 16 hours
a day to pay off fees the fends impose upon them. I could provide sources from the UN to other bodies but look it up yourself.
Epstein was only doing God's work for the chosenites.
Responding to several questions in the last open thread, I mentioned the fact that Epstein's case reflects the great amount of
corruption prevalent within the Outlaw US Empire, and it's that aspect of the case that might be used as a campaign issue, particularly
since Sanders is going to great lengths to point to the utterly corrupt and immoral nature of "health" insurance and Big Pharma.
That was exactly the line he presented on today's
Face The Nation program, despite the primary fccus being gun control:
"'The American people are sick and tired of powerful corporate interest determining what goes on in Washington,' Sanders said.
'You know that's whether it's the healthcare industry, whether it is the fossil fuel industry, whether it is the NRA.'"
The other important point Sanders made was the divisive nature of Trump's rhetoric--that becoming more divided now isn't in
the nation's best interest:
"He is creating the kind of divisiveness in this nation that is the last thing we should be doing."
Ah, but that's exactly what the Current Oligarchy wants done--create an ever more divisive nation such that solidarity--and
thus Movement Building--becomes ever harder to attain and realize.
Any NYT reporting on Epstein is meant as a distraction -- to cover up the facts.
The NYT is the elites' protector, it punches down instead of up.
The NYT 'revelations' about guards are a) punching down to protect elites and b) a distraction to protect elites.
The NYT is one of the Augean Stables.
IMO, it matters not whether Epstein's alive or dead. What matters is that a person like Epstein was able to become what Epstein
became, which was enabled through the great, vast cesspool of corruption that the global elite inhabit. Epstein ought to become
the Poster Boy for ridding the nation of government and elite corruption that affects every aspect of life here and everywhere.
As many have said, Billionaires ought not to exist--no one individual should have that much wealth and power. The thesis embodied
within
Andrew Carnegie's Gospel of Wealth (PDF) ought to be made into law such that it's ensured that those fortunate enough
to become well-off thanks to the public--directly or indirectly via government--return a great proportion of that wealth to their
benefactors. IMO, had such a law been in force, the corruption that enabled Epstein would have had a more difficult time doing
what it did.
Yes, there are other factors/actors involved that aided Epstein's racket. We have an excellent idea of who and what--China
has the proper solution for such corruption. Ridding the world of those factors/actors ought to be equivalent to the Quest for
The Grail.
At least comfort can come from knowing that the evil within Syria is currently being eradicated, and that additional evil plans
are being thwarted thanks to the Forces of Resistance.
This does significantly strain the overall credibility of the system, among those who would like nothing more than to believe
in it, but still have some conscience and working brain cells.
Yet having been raised fairly rural, with a significant respect for the natural cycles, this is nothing so much as watching
necrotic tissue decay even further. Only for those raised in fairly sterile conditions, does it seem abnormal.
this corruption in US politics and DOJ is now so so pervasive hat I think only way to clear the cancer is for trump to use the
Military to replace CIA, FBI, DOJ , clean out the Judges , clean out the Media and start again with STRICT compliance to the Laws
of the US Constitution.
The FBI /DOJ is clearly infested with the cancer of corruption.
The DC and NY offices need to be fired in entirety and replaced by mid America new blood.
I was wondering when I would see a Trump supporter explicitly promoting a military coup in the US in a Trump supportive blog with
the alibi of returning to "Constitution and Law strict compliance"...
No wonder a military coup is anti-constitutional....
I always thought all these stories of the "deep state", the "borg", "drainning the swmp", "paedophilia conspiracy theories",
"Epstein case", "white supremacism terrorism", and attacks by Trump, and his ideologues, against any US institution, were designed
to sow the enough ammount of distrust and confussion amongst the US population so that they become more rone to allow such an
outrage...
"The FBI /DOJ is clearly infested with the cancer of corruption."
Mainly since both ends of the bipartisan system try to hijack the independence of some these powers by placing their ideologically
kindred men any time they grab presidency. This includes Trump.
"The DC and NY offices need to be fired in entirety and replaced by mid America new blood."
A public officers corps which reachs its position by merits independent from political filiation is the best gurantee for a
Constitutional rule and a vaccine against authoritarian aims/intends like coup d´etats.
"... Last time we were promised someone whose integrity was “beyond question” we got Robert Mueller and a team of Hillary donors investigating a GOP President ..."
Epstein's suicide--while on suicide watch in a prison--is simply too convenient for too many wealthy, politically powerful
people (of both parties) whom he might have implicated. The investigation must be thorough, transparent, and by someone whose
integrity is beyond question.
We won't get a special counsel in a case
like this, but if I had the power to appoint one the choice would be easy: Jack Goldsmith of Harvard Law School. We need a
person of his exceptional ability and integrity to get to the bottom of this and stop the further erosion of trust.
Last time we were promised someone whose
integrity was “beyond question” we got Robert Mueller and a team of Hillary donors investigating a GOP President
Epstein may have been lured back to the US with some cover story of a get-out-of-jail fake death -- only the powers that be had
decided to terminate his contract.

Furthermore, the passport had been issued in 1987, when Lauder was still serving as an ambassador. ..."
"... Though Epstein’s defense attorney declined to reveal the identity of the “friend” who provided him with the fake Austrian passport, Lauder was both well-positioned to acquire it in Austria and also deeply connected to the Mega Group, which was co-founded by Epstein’s patron Leslie Wexner and to which Epstein has many connections. These connections to both the Austrian government and to Epstein’s mentor make Lauder the most likely person to have acquired the document on Epstein’s behalf. ..."
"... Furthermore, Lauder co-founded the Eastern European broadcasting network CETV with Mark Palmer, a former U.S. diplomat, Kissinger aide and Reagan speechwriter. Palmer is better known for co-founding the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), an organization often described as an accessory to U.S. intelligence, and one whose first president confessed to the Washington Post that “a lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA.” A 2001 report in the Evening Standard noted that Epstein once claimed that during the 1980s he worked for the CIA, but Epstein later backed away from that assertion. ..."
"... The Mega Group — a secretive group of billionaires to which Lauder belongs — was formed in 1991 by Charles Bronfman and Leslie Wexner, the latter of whom has received considerable media scrutiny following the July arrest of his former protege Jeffrey Epstein. Media profiles of the group paint it as “a loosely organized club of 20 of the nation’s wealthiest and most influential Jewish businessmen” focused on “philanthropy and Jewishness,” with membership dues upwards of $30,000 per year. Yet several of its most prominent members have ties to organized crime. ..."
"...

As previously mentioned, Roy Cohn’s father was a long-time leader of B’nai B’rith’s influential New England-New York chapter and Cohn was later a celebrated member of its banking and finance lodge. ..."
"... In addition, Mega Group members have also been key players in the pro-Israel lobby in the United States. For instance, Max Fisher of the Mega Group founded the National Jewish Coalition, now known as the Republican Jewish Coalition — the main pro-Israel neoconservative political lobbying group , known for its support of hawkish policies, and whose current chief patrons, Sheldon Adelson and Bernard Marcus, are among Donald Trump’s top donors. ..."
"... Sam Bronfman, as was detailed in Part I of this series, had long-standing deep ties to organized crime, specifically Meyer Lanksy’s organized crime syndicate. Yet, Bronfman’s private ambition, according to those close to him, was to become a respected member of high society. As a consequence, Bronfman worked hard to remove the stain that his mob associations had left on his public reputation in Canada and abroad. He accomplished this by becoming a leader in Canada’s Zionist movement and, by the end of the 1930s, he was head of the Canadian Jewish Congress and had begun to make a name for himself as a philanthropist for Jewish causes. ..."
"... Yet even some of Bronfman’s activism and philanthropy had hints of the mobster-like reputation he tried so hard to shake. For instance, Bronfman was actively involved in the illegal shipping of arms to Zionist paramilitaries in Palestine prior to 1948, specifically as a co-founder of the National Conference for Israeli and Jewish Rehabilitation that smuggled weapons to the paramilitary group Haganah. ..."
"... However, Edgar and Charles Bronfman were hardly the only members of the Mega Group with deep and long-standing ties to the Lansky-led National Crime Syndicate. Indeed, one of the group’s prominent members, hedge fund manager Michael Steinhardt, opened up about his own family ties to Lansky in his autobiography No Bull: My Life in and out the Markets , where he noted that his father, Sol “Red McGee” Steinhardt, was Lansky’s jewel fence of choice and a major player in New York’s criminal underworld.

"... Leslie “Les” Wexner, the other Mega Group co-founder, also has ties to organized crime. Wexner’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein have come under scrutiny following the latter’s recent arrest, as Wexner was the only publicly acknowledged client of Epstein’s suspicious hedge fund, the source of much of this wealth, and the previous owner of Epstein’s $56 million Manhattan townhouse, which Wexner transferred to an Epstein-controlled entity for free. ..."
"... The 1996 Times article also noted that, after Wexner bought the residence for $13.2 million in 1989, he spent millions more decorating and furnishing the home, including the addition of the electronic equipment in the “James Bond” bathroom, only to apparently never live in it. ..."

As to Wexner’s alleged links to organized crime, the report focuses on the close business relationship between Wexner’s The Limited and Francis Walsh, whose trucking company “[had] done an excess of 90 percent of the Limited’s trucking business around the time of Shapiro’s murder,” according to the report. Walsh was named in a 1988 indictment as a “co-conspirator” of Genovese crime family boss Anthony “Fat Tony” Salerno, whose long-time lawyer was Roy Cohn; and the Shapiro murder report stated that Walsh was “still considered associates of the Genovese/LaRocca crime family, and Walsh was still providing truck transportation for The Limited.” ..."

Journalist Seymour Hersh alleged that Davies had also been involved in Israeli arms deals. ..."
"... Per Fisk, it was Maxwell who contacted the Israeli Embassy in London and told them of Mordechai’s activities. This led to Mordechai’s entrapment by a female Mossad agent who seduced him as part of a “honey trap” operation that led to his kidnapping and later imprisonment in Israel. Mordechai served an 18-year sentence, 12 years of which were in solitary confinement. ..."
"... According to authors Gordon Thomas and Martin Dillon, Maxwell had sealed his own fate when he attempted to threaten top Mossad officials with the exposure of certain operations if they did not help him rescue his media empire from crippling debt and financial difficulties. Many of Maxwell’s creditors , who had grown increasingly displeased with the media mogul, were Israeli and several of them were alleged to be Mossad-connected themselves. ..."

A scandal arose when those payments continued after both Lehman and Perle joined the Reagan Department of Defense and while Perle was working to persuade the Pentagon to buy arms from companies linked to Zabludowicz. Perle had been part of the Reagan transition team along with Roy Cohn’s long-time friend and law partner Tom Bolan (another Maxwell yacht guest). ..."

Ultimately, the picture painted by the evidence is not a direct tie to a single intelligence agency but a web linking key members of the Mega Group, politicians, and officials in both the U.S. and Israel, and an organized-crime network with deep business and intelligence ties in both nations. ..."
A
s billionaire pedophile and alleged sex-trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein sits in prison, reports
have continued to surface about his reported links to intelligence, his financial ties to
several companies and “charitable” foundations, and his friendships with the rich
and powerful as well as top politicians.
While Part
I and Part
II of this series, “The Jeffrey Epstein Scandal: Too Big to Fail,” have focused
on the widespread nature of sexual blackmail operations in recent American history and their
ties to the heights of American political power and the U.S. intelligence community, one key
aspect of Epstein’s own sex-trafficking and blackmail operation that warrants examination
is Epstein’s ties to Israeli intelligence and his ties to the “informal”
pro-Israel philanthropist faction known as “the Mega Group.”
The Mega Group’s role in the Epstein case has garnered some attention, as
Epstein’s main financial patron for decades, billionaire Leslie Wexner, was a co-founder
of the group that unites several well-known businessmen with a penchant for pro-Israel and
ethno-philanthropy (i.e., philanthropy benefiting a single ethnic or ethno-religious group).
However, as this report will show, another uniting factor among Mega Group members is deep ties
to organized crime, specifically the organized crime network discussed in Part
I of this series, which was largely led by notorious American mobster Meyer Lansky.
By virtue of the role of many Mega Group members as major political donors in both the U.S.
and Israel, several of its most notable members have close ties to the governments of both
countries as well as their intelligence communities. As this report and a subsequent report
will show, the Mega Group also had close ties to two businessmen who worked for Israel’s
Mossad — Robert Maxwell and Marc Rich — as well as to top Israeli politicians,
including past and present prime ministers with deep ties to Israel’s intelligence
community.
One of those businessmen working for the Mossad, Robert Maxwell, will be discussed at length
in this report. Maxwell, who was a business partner of Mega Group co-founder Charles Bronfman,
aided the successful Mossad plot to plant a trapdoor in U.S.-created software that was then
sold to governments and companies throughout the world. That plot’s success was largely
due to the role of a close associate of then-President Ronald Reagan and an American politician
close to Maxwell, who later helped aid Reagan in the cover-up of the Iran Contra scandal.
Years later, Maxwell’s daughter — Ghislaine Maxwell — would join Jeffrey
Epstein’s “inner circle” at the same time Epstein was bankrolling a similar
software program now being marketed for critical electronic infrastructure in the U.S. and
abroad. That company has deep and troubling connections to Israeli military intelligence,
associates of the Trump administration, and the Mega Group.
Epstein appears to have ties to Israeli intelligence and has well-documented ties to
influential Israeli politicians and the Mega Group. Yet, those entities are not isolated in and
of themselves, as many also connect to the organized crime network and powerful alleged
pedophiles discussed in previous installments of this series.
Perhaps the best illustration of how the connections between many of these players often
meld together can be seen in Ronald Lauder: a Mega Group member, former member of the Reagan
administration, long-time donor to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel’s
Likud Party, as well as a long-time friend of Donald Trump and Roy Cohn.
From cosmetics
heir to political player
One often overlooked yet famous client and friend of Roy Cohn is the billionaire heir to the
Estee Lauder cosmetics fortune, Ronald Lauder. Lauder is often described in the press as a
“leading Jewish philanthropist” and is the president of the World Jewish Congress,
yet his many media profiles tend to leave out his highly political past.
In a
statement given by Lauder to New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman in 2018, the
cosmetics heir noted that he has known Trump for over 50 years, going back at least to the
early 1970s. According to Lauder, his relationship with Trump began when Trump was a student at
the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, which Lauder also
attended.

in Palm Beach, Fla. Evan Vucci | AP
Though the exact nature of their early friendship is unclear, it is evident that they shared
many of the same connections, including to the man who would later count them both as his
clients, Roy Cohn. While much has been said of the ties between Cohn and Trump, Cohn was
particularly close to Lauder’s mother, Estee Lauder (born Josephine Mentzer). Estee was
even counted among Cohn’s most high-profile friends in
his New York Times obituary .
A small window into the Lauder-Cohn relationship surfaced briefly in a
2016 article in Politico about a 1981 dinner party held at Cohn’s weekend home
in Greenwich, Connecticut. The party was attended by Ronald Lauder’s parents, Estee and
Joe, as well as Trump and his then-wife Ivana, who had
a weekend home just two miles away. That party was held soon after Cohn had helped Reagan
secure the presidency and had reached the height of his political influence. At the party, Cohn
offered toasts to Reagan and to then-Senator for New York Alfonse D’Amato, who
would later urge Ronald Lauder to run for political office.
Two years later, in 1983, Ronald Lauder — whose only professional experience at that
point was working for his parent’s cosmetics company — was appointed to serve as United
States Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for European and NATO Affairs. Soon after his
appointment, he served on the
Dinner Tribute Committee for a dinner hosted by the Jewish fraternal and strongly pro-Israel
organization B’nai B’rith, the parent organization of the controversial
Anti-Defamation League (ADL), in Roy Cohn’s honor. Cohn’s influential father,
Albert Cohn, was the long-time
president of B’nai B’rith’s powerful New England-New York chapter and Roy
Cohn himself was a member of B’nai B’rith’s Banking and Finance Lodge.
The dinner specifically sought
to honor Cohn for his pro-Israel advocacy and his efforts to “fortify”
Israel’s economy, and its honorary chairmen included media mogul Rupert Murdoch, Donald
Trump and then-head of Bear Stearns Alan Greenberg, all of whom are
connected to Jeffrey Epstein.
During his time as deputy assistant secretary of defense, Lauder was also very active in
Israeli politics and had already become an ally of the then-Israeli representative to the
United Nations and future prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu. Lauder would go on to
be one of the most important individuals in Netanyahu’s rise to power, particularly
during his upset victory in 1996, and a major financier of
Israel’s right-wing Likud Party.
In 1986, the year that Roy Cohn died, Lauder left his post at the Pentagon and became the
U.S. ambassador to Austria, where his tenure was shaped by
his confrontations with the then-Austrian president and former Nazi collaborator, Kurt
Waldheim. Lauder’s interest in Austrian politics has continued well into recent years,
culminating in accusations that he sought
to manipulate Austrian elections in 2012.
After leaving his ambassadorship, Lauder
founded the Ronald S. Lauder Foundation in 1987 and later went on to run for Mayor of New
York against Rudy Giuliani in 1989. Lauder
was encouraged to run by then-Senator Alfonse D’Amato, who had close ties to Roy Cohn
and his long-time law partner Tom Bolan, who was
D’Amato’s adviser . At the aforementioned 1983 B’nai B’rith dinner
honoring Cohn, D’Amato was the featured speaker.
The likely reason was that Giuliani, though once an ally of the “Roy Cohn
machine,” was at the time
deeply disliked by the late Cohn’s associates for prosecuting Cohn’s former law
partner, Stanley Friedman, for racketeering, conspiracy and other charges. Giuliani also had a
history of bitter disagreements with D’Amato. Lauder’s primary campaign, though
unsuccessful, was noted for its viciousness and its cost, as it
burned through more than $13 million.
A few years later, in the early 1990s, Lauder would join a newly formed group that has long
evaded scrutiny from the media but has recently become of interest in connection with the
Jeffrey Epstein scandal: the Mega Group.
Lauder, Epstein and the mysterious Austrian
passport
Before getting to the Mega Group, it is worth noting one particular act apparently
undertaken by Lauder while he was U.S. ambassador to Austria that has recently come to light in
relation to the arrest in early July of Jeffrey Epstein, a finding first reported by journalist
Edward Szall. When police recently discovered an Austrian passport with Epstein’s picture
and a fake name after raiding his Manhattan residence, the source and purpose of the passport
came under media scrutiny.
According to the Associated Press ,
Epstein’s defense lawyers specifically argued that “a friend gave it to him
[Epstein] in the 1980s after some Jewish-Americans were informally advised to carry
identification bearing a non-Jewish name when traveling internationally during a period when
hijackings were more common.” This claim appears to be related to concerns that followed
the hijacking
of Air France Flight 139 in 1976 when Israeli and Jewish hostages were separated from other
hostages based largely on the passports in their possession.
Given that Epstein was unable to meet the conventional qualifications for an Austrian
passport — including long-term residency in Austria (the passport lists him as a resident
of Saudi Arabia) and fluency in German — it appears that the only way to have acquired an
Austrian passport was by unconventional means, meaning assistance from a well-connected
Austrian official or foreign diplomat with clout in Austria.

Lauder Chabad School in Vienna, Austria in 1999. Martin Gnedt | AP
Lauder, then-ambassador to Austria for the Reagan administration, would have been
well-positioned to acquire such a passport, particularly for the reason cited by
Epstein’s attorneys that Jewish-Americans could be targeted during travel, and in light
of Lauder’s very public concerns over threats Jews face from certain terror groups.
Furthermore, the passport had been issued in 1987, when Lauder was still serving as an
ambassador.
In addition, Lauder
was well-connected to Epstein’s former patron — former head of Bear Stearns
Alan Greenberg, who had hired Epstein in the late 1970s immediately after the latter was fired
from the Dalton School — and Donald Trump,
another friend of Lauder and Greenberg who began his friendship with Epstein in 1987, the
same year the fake Austrian passport was issued. In 1987, Epstein also began his relationship
with his principal financier, Leslie Wexner, who is also closely associated with Lauder (though
some sources claim that Epstein and Wexner first met in 1985 but that their strong business
relationship was not established until 1987).
Though Epstein’s defense attorney declined to reveal the identity of the
“friend” who provided him with the fake Austrian passport, Lauder was both
well-positioned to acquire it in Austria and also deeply connected to the Mega Group, which was
co-founded by Epstein’s patron Leslie Wexner and to which Epstein has many connections.
These connections to both the Austrian government and to Epstein’s mentor make Lauder the
most likely person to have acquired the document on Epstein’s behalf.
Furthermore, Epstein and the Mega Group’s ties to the Israeli intelligence agency,
Mossad, also suggest Lauder was involved in procuring the passport, in light of his close ties
to the Israeli government and the fact that Mossad
has a history of using ambassadors abroad to procure false, foreign passports for its
operatives.
Lauder himself has been alleged to have ties to Mossad, as he is a long-time funder of IDC
Herzliya, an Israeli university
closely associated with Mossad and their recruiters as well as Israeli military
intelligence. Lauder even founded IDC Herzliya’s
Lauder School of Government, Diplomacy and Strategy.
Furthermore, Lauder co-founded the Eastern European broadcasting network CETV with Mark
Palmer, a former U.S. diplomat, Kissinger aide and Reagan speechwriter. Palmer is better known
for co-founding the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), an organization often described as
an accessory to U.S. intelligence, and one whose first president confessed to
the Washington Post that “a lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years
ago by the CIA.” A 2001 report in the Evening Standard noted that Epstein
once
claimed that during the 1980s he worked for the CIA, but Epstein later backed away from
that assertion.
The origins of the Mega Group Mafia
The Mega Group — a secretive group of billionaires to which Lauder belongs — was
formed in 1991 by Charles Bronfman and Leslie Wexner, the latter of whom has received
considerable media scrutiny following the July arrest of his former protege Jeffrey Epstein.
Media profiles
of the group paint it as “a loosely organized club of 20 of the nation’s wealthiest
and most influential Jewish businessmen” focused on “philanthropy and
Jewishness,” with membership dues upwards of $30,000 per year. Yet several of its most
prominent members have ties to organized crime.
Mega Group members founded and/or are closely associated with some of the most well-known
pro-Israel organizations. For instance, members Charles Bronfman and Michael Steinhardt
formed
Birthright Taglit with the backing of then- and current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Steinhardt, an atheist, has stated that his motivation in helping to found the group was to
advance his own belief that devotion
to and faith in the state of Israel should serve as “a substitute for [Jewish]
theology.”
Other well-known groups associated with the Mega Group include the World Jewish Congress
— whose past president, Edgar Bronfman, and current president, Ronald Lauder, are both
Mega Group members — and B’nai B’rith, particularly its spin-off known as the
Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The Bronfman brothers were major donors to the ADL, with Edgar
Bronfman serving as the
ADL’s honorary national vice-chair for several years.

When Edgar Bronfman died in 2013, long-time ADL Director Abe Foxman said ,
“Edgar was for many years Chair of our Liquor Industry Division, Chair of our New York
Appeal, and one of our most significant benefactors.” Other Mega Group members that are
donors and major supporters of the ADL include
Ronald Lauder ,
Michael Steinhardt and the late Max
Fisher . As previously mentioned, Roy Cohn’s father was a long-time leader of
B’nai B’rith’s influential New England-New York chapter and Cohn was later a
celebrated member of its banking and finance lodge.
In addition, Mega Group members have also been key players in the pro-Israel lobby in the
United States. For instance, Max Fisher of the Mega Group
founded the National Jewish Coalition, now
known as the Republican Jewish Coalition — the main pro-Israel
neoconservative political lobbying group , known for its support of hawkish policies, and
whose current chief patrons, Sheldon Adelson and Bernard Marcus, are among Donald Trump’s
top donors.
Though the Mega Group has officially existed only since 1991, the use of
“philanthropy” to provide cover for more unscrupulous lobbying or business
activities was pioneered decades earlier by Sam Bronfman, the father of Mega Group members
Edgar and Charles Bronfman. While other North American elites like J.D. Rockefeller had
previously used philanthropic giving as a means of laundering their reputations,
Bronfman’s approach to philanthropy was unique because it was focused on giving
specifically to other members of his own ethno-religious background.
Sam Bronfman, as was detailed in Part
I of this series, had long-standing deep ties to organized crime, specifically Meyer
Lanksy’s organized crime syndicate. Yet, Bronfman’s private ambition, according to
those close to him, was to become a respected member of high society. As a consequence,
Bronfman worked hard to remove the stain that his mob associations had left on his public
reputation in Canada and abroad. He accomplished this by becoming a leader in Canada’s
Zionist movement and, by the end of the 1930s, he
was head of the Canadian Jewish Congress and had begun to make a name for himself as a
philanthropist for Jewish causes.
Yet even some of Bronfman’s activism and philanthropy had hints of the mobster-like
reputation he tried so hard to shake. For instance, Bronfman was actively involved in the
illegal shipping of arms to Zionist paramilitaries in Palestine prior to 1948, specifically as
a co-founder of the National Conference for Israeli and Jewish Rehabilitation that
smuggled weapons to the paramilitary group Haganah.
At the same time Bronfman was abetting the illegal smuggling of weapons to the Haganah, his
associates in the criminal underworld were doing the same. After World War II, close aides of
David Ben-Gurion, who would later become the first prime minister of Israel and was
instrumental in the founding of Mossad, forged tight-knit
relationships with Meyer Lansky, Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel, Mickey Cohen and
other Jewish gangsters of the period. They used their clandestine networks to establish a vast
arms smuggling network between the United States and Zionist settlements in Palestine, arming
both the Haganah and the Irgun paramilitary groups. As noted in Part I of this report, at the
same time these gangsters were aiding the illegal arming of ZIonsit paramilitaries, they were
strengthening their ties to U.S. intelligence that had first been formally (though covertly)
established in World War II.
After Israel was founded, Sam Bronfman worked with future Israeli Prime Minister
Shimon Peres to negotiate the sale of Canadian armaments at half-price to Israel and the
bargain weapons purchase was paid for entirely by a fundraising dinner hosted by Bronfman and
his wife. Many years later, Peres would go on
to introduce another future prime minister of Israel, Ehud Barak, to Jeffrey Epstein.
The rest of the Bronfman family’s march on “the road to respectability”
was undertaken by Bronfman’s children, who married into aristocratic families such as
the
European Rothschilds and the Wall Street “royalty” of
the Lehmans and the Loebs .
The Bronfmans’ newfound respectability did not mean that their association with the
Lansky-led criminal empire had dissolved. Indeed, prominent members of the Seagrams dynasty
came under fire in the 1960s and 1970s for their
close association with Willie “Obie” Obront, a major figure in Canadian
organized crime, whom Canadian professor Stephen Schneider has referred to as the Meyer Lansky
of Canada.
However, Edgar and Charles Bronfman were hardly the only members of the Mega Group with deep
and long-standing ties to the Lansky-led National Crime Syndicate. Indeed, one of the
group’s prominent members, hedge fund manager Michael Steinhardt, opened up about his own
family ties to Lansky in his autobiography No Bull: My Life in and out the Markets ,
where he noted that his father, Sol “Red McGee” Steinhardt, was Lansky’s jewel
fence of choice and
a major player in New York’s criminal underworld. Sol Steinhardt was also his
son’s first client on Wall Street and helped him jumpstart his career in finance.
The ties between the Mega Group and the National Crime Syndicate don’t stop there.
Another prominent member of the Mega Group with ties to this same criminal network is Max
Fisher, who has been described as Wexner’s mentor and is also alleged
to have worked with Detroit’s “Purple Gang” during Prohibition and
beyond. The Purple Gang were part of the network that smuggled Bronfman liquor from Canada into
the United State during Prohibition, and one of its founders, Abe Bernstein, was
a close associate of both Meyer Lansky and Moe Dalitz. Fisher was a
key adviser to several U.S. presidents, beginning with Dwight D. Eisenhower, as well as to
Henry Kissinger.

In addition to Fisher, Mega Group member Ronald Lauder was connected to Roy Cohn and Tom
Bolan, both of whom were closely associated with this same Lansky-led crime network (see
Part
I and
Part
II ) and who regularly represented top Mafia figures in court. Furthermore, another member
of the Mega Group, director Steven Spielberg, is
a
well-known protege of Lew Wasserman, the mob-connected media mogul and long-time backer of
Ronald Reagan’s film and later political career, discussed in
Part
II of this series.
One surprise connection to Cohn involves Mega Group member, and former president of U.S.
weapons firm General Dynamics, Lester Crown, whose brother-in-law is David Schine, Cohn’s
confidant and alleged lover during the McCarthy hearings, whose
relationship with Cohn helped bring about the downfall of McCarthyism.
Another member of the Mega Group worth noting is Laurence Tisch, who owned CBS News
for several years and founded Loews Corporation. Tisch is notable for his work
for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the precursor to the CIA, where Donald Barr,
who hired Epstein at the Dalton School, also served and which forged ties with Lansky’s
criminal empire during World War II.
Wexner’s mansions and the Shapiro murder
Leslie “Les” Wexner, the other Mega Group co-founder, also has ties to organized
crime. Wexner’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein have come under scrutiny following the
latter’s recent arrest, as Wexner was the only publicly acknowledged client of
Epstein’s suspicious hedge fund, the source of much of this wealth, and the previous
owner of Epstein’s $56 million Manhattan townhouse, which Wexner transferred to an
Epstein-controlled entity for free.
Before Epstein received the townhouse, Wexner appears to have used the residence for some
unconventional purposes, noted in a 1996 New York
Times article on the then-Wexner-owned residence, which included “a bathroom
reminiscent of James Bond movies: hidden beneath a stairway, lined with lead to provide shelter
from attack and supplied with closed-circuit television screens and a telephone, both concealed
in a cabinet beneath the sink.” The Times article does not speculate as to the
purpose of this equipment, though the allusion to famous fictional superspy James Bond suggests
that it may have been used to snoop on guests or conduct electronic surveillance.
The 1996 Times article also noted that, after Wexner bought the residence for $13.2
million in 1989, he spent millions more decorating and furnishing the home, including the
addition of the electronic equipment in the “James Bond” bathroom, only to
apparently never live in it. The Times , which interviewed Epstein for the piece, quoted
him as saying that “Les never spent more than two months there.” Epstein told the
Times , which identified Epstein as Wexner’s “protege and one of his
financial advisers,” that the house, by that time, already belonged to him.
That same year, Epstein was commissioning artwork for Wexner’s Ohio mansion. A
recent
article from the Times noted that:
In the summer of 1996, Maria Farmer was working on an art project for Mr. Epstein in
Mr. Wexner’s Ohio mansion. While she was there, Mr. Epstein sexually assaulted her,
according to an affidavit Ms. Farmer filed earlier this year in federal court in Manhattan.
She said that she fled the room and called the police, but that Mr. Wexner’s security
staff refused to let her leave for 12 hours.”
Farmer’s account strongly suggests that, given the behavior of his personal security
staff at his mansion following Epstein’s alleged assault on Farmer, Wexner was well
aware of Epstein’s predatory behavior towards young women. This is compounded by claims
made by Alan Dershowitz — a former lawyer for and friend of Epstein’s, who has
also been accused of raping underage girls — that Wexner has also been accused of raping underage
girls exploited by Epstein on at least seven occasions.
The presence of the electronic equipment in his home’s bathroom, other oddities
related to the townhouse, and aspects of the links between Epstein and Wexner suggest there is
more to Wexner, who has rather successfully developed a public image of a respectable
businessman and philanthropist, much like other prominent members of the Mega
Group.

However, bits and pieces of Wexner’s private secrets have occasionally bubbled up,
only to be subjected to rapid cover-ups amidst concerns of “libeling” the powerful
and well-connected billionaire “philanthropist.”
In 1985, Columbus (Ohio) lawyer Arthur Shapiro was murdered in broad daylight
at point-blank range in what was largely referred to as a “mob style murder.” The
homicide still remains unsolved, likely due to the fact that then-Columbus Police Chief James
Jackson ordered the destruction of key documents of his department’s investigation into
the murder.
Jackson’s ordering of the documents’ destruction came to light years later in
1996, when he was under investigation for corruption. According to the Columbus Dispatch ,
Jackson justified the destruction of one “ viable and valuable ” report
because he felt that it “was so filled with wild speculation about prominent business
leaders that it was potentially libelous.” The nature of this “wild
speculation” was that “millionaire businessmen in Columbus and Youngstown were
linked to the ‘mob-style murder.’”
Though Jackson’s efforts were meant to keep this “libelous” report far
from public view, it was eventually obtained by Bob Fitrakis —
attorney, journalist, and executive director of the Columbus Institute for Contemporary
Journalism — after he was “accidentally” sent a copy of the report in 1998 as
part of a public records request.
The report, titled “ Shapiro Homicide Investigation: Analysis and
Hypothesis ,” names Leslie Wexner as linked “with associates reputed to be
organized crime figures” and also lists the names of businessman Jack Kessler, former
Columbus City Council President and Wexner associate Jerry Hammond, and former Columbus City
Council member Les Wright as also being involved in Shapiro’s murder.
The report also noted that Arthur Shapiro’s law firm — Schwartz, Shapiro, Kelm
& Warren — represented Wexner’s company, The Limited, and states that
“prior to his death, Arthur Shapiro managed this account [The Limited] for the law
firm.” It also noted that, at the time of his death, Shapiro “was the subject of an
investigation by the Internal Revenue Service because he had failed to file income tax returns
for some seven years prior to his death, and he had invested in some questionable tax
shelters.” It also stated that his death prevented Shapiro from his planned testimony at
a grand jury hearing about these “questionable tax shelters.”
As to Wexner’s alleged links to organized crime, the report focuses on the close
business relationship between Wexner’s The Limited and Francis Walsh, whose trucking
company “[had] done an excess of 90 percent of the Limited’s trucking business
around the time of Shapiro’s murder,” according to the report. Walsh was named in
a 1988 indictment as a “co-conspirator” of Genovese crime family boss Anthony
“Fat Tony” Salerno, whose long-time lawyer was Roy Cohn; and the Shapiro murder
report stated that Walsh was “still considered associates of the Genovese/LaRocca crime
family, and Walsh was still providing truck transportation for The Limited.”
Notably, the Genovese crime family has long formed a key part of the National Crime
Syndicate, as its former head, Charles “Lucky” Luciano, co-created the criminal organization
with his close friend Meyer Lansky. Upon Luciano’s imprisonment and subsequent
deportation from the United States, Lansky took over the syndicate’s U.S. operations and
his association with Luciano’s successors continued until Lansky’s death in
1983.
The “Mega” Mystery and the Mossad
In May 1997, the Washington Post broke
an explosive story — long since forgotten — based on an intercepted phone call
made between a Mossad official in the U.S. and his superior in Tel Aviv that discussed the
Mossad’s efforts to obtain a secret U.S. government document. According to the
Post, the Mossad official stated during the phone call that “Israeli Ambassador
Eliahu Ben Elissar had asked him whether he could obtain a copy of the letter given to
[Palestinian leader Yasser] Arafat by [then-Secretary of State Warren] Christopher on Jan. 16,
the day after the Hebron accord was signed by Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin
Netanyahu.”
The Post article continued:
According to a source who viewed a copy of the NSA transcript of the conversation, the
intelligence officer, speaking in Hebrew, said, ‘The ambassador wants me to go to Mega
to get a copy of this letter.’ The source said the supervisor in Tel Aviv rejected the
request, saying, ‘This is not something we use Mega for.’”
The leaked communication led to an investigation that sought to identify an individual
code-named “Mega” that the Post said “may be someone in the U.S.
government who has provided information to the Israelis in the past,” a concern that
subsequently spawned a fruitless FBI investigation. The Mossad later claimed that
“Mega” was merely a codeword for the U.S.’ CIA, but the FBI and NSA were
unconvinced by that claim and
believed that it was a senior U.S. government official that had potentially once been
involved in working with Jonathan Pollard, the former U.S. naval intelligence analyst later
convicted of spying for the Mossad.
Almost one year to the day after the “Mega” spy scandal broke, the Wall
Street Journal was the first outlet to report on the
existence of a little-known organization of billionaires that was “informally”
called the Mega Group and had been founded years prior in 1991. The report made no mention of
the spy scandal that had spread concerns of Israeli espionage in the U.S. only a year prior.
However, the group’s distinctive “informal” name and the connections of its
members to the Mossad and to high-ranking Israeli politicians, including prime ministers, raise
the possibility that “Mega” was not an individual, as the FBI and NSA had believed,
but a group.
In 1997, when the “Mega” spy scandal broke, Netanyahu had recently become prime
minister of Israel after an upset victory, a victory that was
largely credited to one well-connected Netanyahu backer in particular, Ronald Lauder.
Beyond being a major donor, Lauder had brought Arthur Finklestein on to work for
Netanyahu’s 1996 campaign, whose strategies were credited for Netanyahu’s surprise
win. Netanyahu was close enough to Lauder that he personally enlisted Lauder and George Nader
to serve as his peace envoys to Syria.

Nader, who was connected to the Trump 2016 campaign and Trump ally and Blackwater
founder Erik Prince, was
recently hit with federal child sex trafficking charges last month, soon after Jeffrey
Epstein had been arrested on similar charges. At the time Nader was picked to work with Lauder
on Netanyahu’s behalf, he had
already been caught possessing large amounts of child pornography on two separate
occasions, first in 1984 and later in 1990.
This strong connection between Netanyahu and Lauder during the time of the 1997
“Mega” spy scandal is important considering Mossad answers directly to
Israel’s prime minister.
Another possible connection between the Mega Group and the Mossad owes to the Mega
Group’s ties to Meyer Lansky’s criminal network. As was detailed in Part I, Lansky
had established deep ties to U.S. intelligence after World War II and was also connected to the
Mossad through Mossad official Tibor Rosenbaum, whose bank was frequently used by Lansky to
launder money. In addition, Lansky collaborated on at least one occasion with notorious Mossad
“superspy” Rafi Eitan, who he
helped acquire sensitive electronic equipment possessed only by the CIA but coveted by
Israeli intelligence. Eitan is best known in the U.S. for being the Mossad handler of Jonathan
Pollard.
Notably, Eitan was the main source of
claims that the code-word “Mega” used by the Mossad officials in 1997 referred to
the CIA and not to a potential source in the U.S. government once linked to Pollard’s
spying activities, making his claims as to the true meaning of the term somewhat dubious.
Given that the organized crime network tied to the Mega Group had ties to both U.S. and
Israeli intelligence, the “Mega” codeword could plausibly have referred to this
secretive group of billionaires. More supporting evidence for this theory comes from the fact
that prominent members of the Mega Group were business partners of Mossad agents, including
media mogul Robert Maxwell and commodities trader Marc Rich.
The mysterious Maxwells
The Maxwell family has become a source of renewed media interest following Jeffrey
Epstein’s arrest, as Ghislaine Maxwell, long described in the media as a British
“socialite,” was publicly cited as Epstein’s long-time “on and
off” girlfriend, and Epstein’s victims, as well as former wives of Epstein’s
friends, have claimed that she was Epstein’s “pimp” and procured underage
girls for his sexual blackmail operation. Ghislaine Maxwell is also alleged to have
engaged in the rape of the girls she procured for Epstein and to have used them to produce
child pornography.
Ghislaine was the favorite and youngest daughter of media mogul Robert Maxwell. Maxwell,
born Jan Ludvick Hoch, had joined the British Army in World War II. Afterwards, according to
authors John
Loftus and Mark Aarons , he greatly influenced the Czechoslovakian government’s
decision to arm Zionist paramilitaries during the 1948 war that resulted in Israel’s
creation as a state, and Maxwell himself was also involved in the smuggling of aircraft parts
to Israel.
Around this time, Maxwell was approached by British intelligence outfit MI6 and offered a
position that Maxwell ultimately declined. MI6 then classified
him as “Zionist — loyal only to Israel” and made him a person of interest. He
later became an agent of the Mossad, according to several books including Seymour Hersh’s
The Samson Option: Israel’s Nuclear Arsenal and American Foreign Policy, and
Robert Maxwell: Israel’s Superspy by Gordon Thomas and Martin Dillon.
Mossad was financing many of its operations in Europe from money stolen from
Maxwell’s newspaper pension fund. They got their hands on the funds almost as soon as
Maxwell made the purchase of the Mirror Newspaper Group with money lent to him by
Mossad.”
In exchange for his services, the Mossad helped Maxwell satisfy his sexual appetite during
his visits to Israel,
providing him with prostitutes, “the service maintained for blackmail
purposes.” It was later revealed that the hotel in which he stayed in Israel was bugged
with cameras, allowing the Mossad to acquire “a small library of video footage of Maxwell
in sexually compromising positions.” As with the CIA, the Mossad’s use of blackmail
against both friend and foe is well-documented
and known to be
extensive .
Maxwell was also a close associate and friend of Israeli “superspy” Rafi Eitan,
who, as previously mentioned, was Jonathan Pollard’s handler and who had previously
worked directly with Meyer Lansky. Eitan
had learned of a revolutionary new software being used by the U.S. government known as
“Promis” from Earl Brian, a long-time associate and aide to Ronald Reagan. Promis
is often considered the forerunner to the “Prism” software used by spy agencies
today and was developed by William Hamilton, who leased the software to the U.S. government
through his company, Inslaw, in 1982.

According to author and former BBC investigative journalist Gordon Thomas, Brian
was angry that the U.S. Department of Justice was successfully using Promis to go after
organized crime and money-laundering activities and Eitan felt that the program could aid
Israel. At the time, Eitan was the director of the now defunct Israeli military intelligence
agency Lekem, which gathered scientific and technical intelligence abroad from both public and
covert sources, especially in relation to Israel’s nuclear weapons program.
A plan was hatched to
install a “trapdoor” into the software and then market Promis throughout the
world, providing the Mossad with invaluable intelligence on the operations of its enemies and
allies while also providing Eitan and Brian with copious amounts of cash. According to the
testimony of ex-Mossad official Ari Ben-Menashe, Brian
provided a copy of Promis to Israel’s military intelligence, which contacted an
Israeli American programmer living in California who then planted the “trapdoor” in
the software. The CIA was later said to have installed its own trapdoor in the software
but it is unknown if they did so with a version of the already bugged software and how widely
it was adopted relative to the version bugged by Israeli intelligence.
After the trapdoor was inserted, the problem became selling the bugged version of the
software to governments as well as private companies around the world, particularly in areas of
interest. Brian first attempted to buy out Inslaw and Promis and then use that same company to
sell the bugged version.
Unsuccessful, Brian turned to his close friend, then-Attorney General Ed Meese whose Justice
Department then abruptly refused to
make the payments to Inslaw that were stipulated by the contract, essentially using the
software for free, which Inslaw claimed to be theft. Some have speculated that Meese’s
role in that decision was shaped, not only by his friendship with Brian, but the fact that his
wife was a major investor in
Brian’s business ventures. Meese would later become an adviser to Donald Trump when he
was president-elect.
Inslaw was forced to declare bankruptcy as a result of Meese’s actions and sued the
Justice Department. The court later found that
the Meese-led department “took, converted, stole” the software through
“trickery, fraud and deceit.”
With Inslaw out of the way, Brian sold the software all over the world. Eitan later
recruited Robert Maxwell to become another Promis salesman, which he did remarkably well, even
succeeding in selling the software to Soviet intelligence and conspiring
with Republican Texas Senator John Tower to have the software adopted by the U.S.
government laboratory at Los Alamos. Dozens of countries used the software on their most
carefully guarded computer systems, unaware that Mossad now had access to everything Promis
touched.
Whereas the Mossad’s past reliance on gathering intelligence had relied on the same
tactics used by its equivalents in the U.S. and elsewhere, the widespread adoption of the
Promis software, largely through the actions of Earl Brian and Robert Maxwell, gave the Mossad
a way to gather not just troves of counterintelligence data, but also blackmail on other
intelligence agencies and powerful figures.
Indeed, Promis’ backdoor and adoption by intelligence agencies all over the world
essentially provided the Mossad with access to troves of blackmail that the CIA and FBI had
acquired on their friends and foes for over half a century. Strangely, in recent years, the FBI
has sought to
hide information related to Robert Maxwell’s connection to the Promis scandal.
According to journalist Robert
Fisk , Maxwell was also involved in the Mossad abduction of Israeli nuclear weapons
whistleblower Vanunu Mordechai. Mordechai had attempted to provide the media with information
on the extent of Israel’s nuclear weapons program, which was eventually published by the
Sunday Times of London . Yet, Mordechai had also contacted the Daily Mirror with
the information, the Mirror being an outlet that was owned by Maxwell and whose foreign
editor was a close Maxwell associate and alleged Mossad asset, Nicholas Davies. Journalist
Seymour Hersh alleged that Davies had also been involved in Israeli arms deals.
Per Fisk, it was Maxwell who contacted the Israeli Embassy in London and told them of
Mordechai’s activities. This led to Mordechai’s entrapment by a female Mossad agent
who seduced him as part of a “honey trap” operation that led to his kidnapping and
later imprisonment in Israel. Mordechai served an 18-year sentence, 12 years of which were in
solitary confinement.
Then, there is the issue of Maxwell’s death, widely cited by mainstream and
independent media alike as suspicious
and a potential homicide . According to authors Gordon Thomas and Martin Dillon, Maxwell
had sealed his own fate when he attempted to threaten top Mossad officials with the exposure of
certain operations if they did not help him rescue his media empire from crippling debt and
financial difficulties. Many of Maxwell’s
creditors , who had grown increasingly displeased with the media mogul, were Israeli and
several of them were alleged to be Mossad-connected themselves.
Thomas and Dillon argue in their
biography of Maxwell’s life that the Mossad felt that Maxwell had become more of a
liability than an asset and killed him on his yacht three months after he demanded the bailout.
On the other extreme are theories that suggest Maxwell committed suicide because of the
financial difficulties his empire faced.

Some have taken Maxwell’s funeral held in Israel as the country’s
“official” confirmation of Maxwell’s service to the Mossad, as it was likened
to a state funeral and attended
by no less than six serving and former heads of Israeli intelligence. During his funeral
service in Jerusalem, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir eulogized him and
stated : “He has done more for Israel than can today be said.” Other
eulogies were given by future Prime Ministers Ehud Olmert (then Health Minister) and Shimon
Peres, with the latter also praising
Maxwell’s “services” on behalf of Israel.
Swimming in the same
swamp
As he built his business empire — and even became a member of Parliament, Maxwell was
also doing work for Israeli intelligence, as several of the Israeli companies in which he
invested became fronts for the Mossad. In addition, as he became a media mogul, he developed a
bitter rivalry with Rupert Murdoch, a close friend of Roy Cohn and an influential figure in
American and British media.
Maxwell also partnered with the Bronfman brothers, Edgar and Charles — key figures in
the Mega Group. In 1989 Maxwell and Charles Bronfman
partnered up to bid on the Jerusalem Post newspaper and the Post described
the two men as “two of the world’s leading Jewish financiers” and their
interest in the venture as “developing The Jerusalem Post and expanding its
influence among world Jewry.” A year prior, Maxwell and Bronfman
had become top shareholders in the Israeli pharmaceutical company Teva.
Maxwell also worked with Charles Bronfman’s brother Edgar in the late 1980s to
convince the Soviet Union to allow Soviet Jews to immigrate to Israel. Edgar’s efforts in
this regard
have received more attention , as it was a defining moment of his decades-long presidency
of the World Jewish Congress, of which Ronald Lauder is currently president. Yet, Maxwell had
also made considerable
use of his contacts in the Soviet government in this effort.
Maxwell also moved in the circles of the network previously described in Parts I and II in
this series. A key example of this is the May 1989
party Maxwell hosted on his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine — named for his youngest
daughter and Epstein’s future “girlfriend.” Attendees of the party included
Roy Cohn’s protege Donald Trump and his long-time law partner Tom Bolan. A close friend
of Nancy Reagan was also present, journalist Mike Wallace, as was literary agent Mort Janklow,
who represented Ronald Reagan and two of Cohn’s closest friends: journalists William
Safire and Barbara Walters.
The CEO of what would soon become Time Warner, Steve Ross, was also invited to the exclusive
event. Ross’ presence is notable, as he had built his business empire largely through
his association with New York crime lords Manny Kimmel and Abner “Longy”
Zwillman. Zwillman was a close friend of Meyer Lansky, Michael Steinhardt’s father, and
Sam Bronfman, father of Edgar and Charles Bronfman.
Another attendee of the Maxwell yacht party was former Secretary of the Navy and former
Henry Kissinger staffer Jon Lehman, who would go on to associate with the controversial
neoconservative think tank, Project for a New American Century. Prior to being secretary of the
Navy, Lehman had been president of the Abington Corporation, which hired arch-neocon Richard
Perle to manage
the portfolio of Israeli arms dealers Shlomo Zabludowicz and his son Chaim, who paid
Ablington $10,000 month. A scandal arose when those
payments continued after both Lehman and Perle joined the Reagan Department of Defense and
while Perle was working to persuade the Pentagon to buy arms from companies linked to
Zabludowicz. Perle had been part of the Reagan transition team along with Roy Cohn’s
long-time friend and law partner Tom Bolan (another Maxwell yacht guest).
In addition to Lehman, another former Kissinger staffer, Thomas Pickering was present at
Maxwell’s yacht part. Pickering played a minor role in the Iran-Contra affair and, at the
time of the Maxwell yacht party, he was U.S. ambassador to Israel. Senator John Tower (R-TX),
who allegedly conspired with Maxwell in the Mossad-bugged Promis software at the Los Alamos
laboratories, was also present. Tower died just months before Maxwell in
a suspicious plane crash .
Ghislaine Maxwell was also at this rather notable event. After her father’s mysterious
death and alleged murder on the same yacht that bears her name in 1991, she quickly packed her
bags and moved to New York City. There, she soon made the acquaintance of Jeffrey Epstein and,
a few years later, developed close ties to the Clinton family, which will be discussed in the
next installment of this series.
Jeffrey Epstein and the new “Promis”
After it was revealed that Epstein had evaded stricter sentencing in 2008 due to his links
to “intelligence,” it was the Mossad ties of Ghislaine Maxwell’s father that
have led many to speculate that Epstein’s sexual blackmail operation was sharing
incriminating information with the Mossad. Former CBS executive producer and current
journalist for the media outlet Narativ , Zev Shalev, has since claimed that he
independently confirmed that Epstein was tied directly to the Mossad.

Epstein was a long-time friend of former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, who has
long-standing and deep ties to Israel’s intelligence community. Their decades-long
friendship has been the source of recent political attacks targeting Barak, who is running in
the Israeli elections against current Prime Minister Netanyahu later this year.
Barak is also close to Epstein’s chief patron and Mega Group member Leslie Wexner,
whose Wexner Foundation
gave Barak $2 million in 2004 for a still unspecified research program. According to Barak,
he was first introduced to Epstein by former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres, who eulogized
Robert Maxwell at his funeral and had decades-long ties with the Bronfman family going back to
the early 1950s. Peres was also a
frequent participant in programs funded by
Leslie Wexner in Israel and
worked closely with the Mossad for decades.
In 2015, a few years after Epstein’s release from prison following his conviction for
soliciting sex from a minor in 2008, Barak formed a company with Epstein with the chief purpose
of investing in an Israeli start-up then known as Reporty. That company, now called Carbyne,
sells its signature software to 911 call centers and emergency service providers and is also
available to consumers as an app that provides emergency services with access to a
caller’s camera and location and also runs any caller’s identity through any linked
government database. It has specifically been marketed by the company itself and the Israeli
press as a
solution to mass shootings in the
United States and is already being used by at least two U.S. counties.
Israeli media reported that Epstein and Barak were among the company’s largest
investors. Barak poured millions into the company and it was recently revealed by Haaretz
that a significant amount of Barak’s total investments in Carbyne was funded by Epstein,
making him a “ de facto partner” in the company. Barak is now Carbyne’s chairman .
The company’s executive team are all former members of different branches of Israeli
intelligence, including the elite military intelligence unit, Unit 8200, that is often likened
to Israel’s equivalent of the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). Carbyne’s
current CEO, Amir Elichai, served in Unit 8200 and tapped
former Unit 8200 commander Pinchas Buchris to serve as the
company’s director and on its board. In addition to Elichai, another Carbyne co-founder,
Lital Leshem , also
served in Unit 8200 and later worked for Israeli private spy company Black Cube. Leshem now
works for a subsidiary of Erik Prince’s company Frontier Services Group, according to the
independent media outlet Narativ .
The company also includes several tie-ins to the Trump administration, including Palantir
founder and Trump ally Peter Thiel — an investor in Carbyne. In addition,
Carbyne’s board of advisers
includes former Palantir employee Trae Stephens, who was a member of the Trump transition team,
as well as former Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff.
Trump donor and New York real-estate developer Eliot Tawill is also on Carbyne’s board , alongside Ehud Barak and
Pinchas Buchris.
Narativ , which wrote the first expose on Carbyne after Epstein’s arrest, noted
that the Chinese government uses a smartphone app very similar to Carbyne as part of its mass
surveillance apparatus, even though the original purpose of the app was for improved emergency
reporting. According to Narativ , the Chinese Carbyne-equivalent “monitors every
aspect of a user’s life, including personal conversations, power usage, and tracks a
user’s movement.”
Given the history of Robert Maxwell — the father of Epstein’s long-time
“girlfriend” and young-girl-procuring madam, Ghislaine Maxwell — in promoting
the sale of Carbyne’s modified Promis software, which was also marketed as a tool to
improve government efficacy but was actually a tool of mass surveillance for the benefit of
Israeli intelligence, the overlap between Carbyne and Promis is troubling and warrants further
investigation.
It is also worth noting that Unit 8200-connected tech start-ups are being widely integrated
into U.S. companies and have developed close ties to the U.S. military-industrial complex, with
Carbyne being just one example of that trend.
As MintPress
previously reported , Unit 8200-linked outfits like Team8 have recently hired former
National Security Agency (NSA) Director Mike Rogers as a senior advisor and gained prominent
Silicon Valley figures, including former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, as key investors. Many
American technology companies, from Intel to Google to Microsoft,
have merged with several Unit 8200-connected start-ups in recent years and have been moving
many key jobs and operations to Israel with
backing from key Republican donors like Paul Singer . Many of those same companies,
particularly Google and Microsoft, are also major U.S. government contractors.
Who was
Epstein really working for?
Even though Jeffrey Epstein appears to have had ties to the Mossad, this series has revealed
that the networks to which Epstein was connected were not Mossad-exclusive, as many of the
individuals close to Epstein — Lesie Wexner, for instance — were part of a
mob-connected class of oligarchs with deep ties to both the U.S. and Israel. As was discussed
in Part I of this series, the sharing of “intelligence” (i.e., blackmail) between
intelligence agencies and the same organized crime network connected to the Mega Group goes
back decades. With Leslie Wexner of the Mega Group as Epstein’s chief patron, as opposed
to a financier with direct ties to the Mossad, a similar relationship is more than likely in
the case of the sexual blackmail operation that Epstein ran.
Given that intelligence agencies in both the U.S. and elsewhere often conduct covert
operations for the benefit of oligarchs and large corporations as opposed to “national
security interest,” Epstein’s ties to the Mega Group suggest that this group holds
a unique status and influence in both the governments of the U.S. and of Israel, as well as in
other countries (e.g., Russia) that were not explored in this report. This is by virtue of
their role as key political donors in both countries, as well as the fact that several of them
own powerful companies or financial institutions in both countries. Indeed, many members of the
Mega Group have deep ties to Israel’s political class, including to Netanyahu and Ehud
Barak as well as to now-deceased figures like Shimon Peres, and to members of the American
political class.
Ultimately, the picture painted by the evidence is not a direct tie to a single intelligence
agency but a web linking key members of the Mega Group, politicians, and officials in both the
U.S. and Israel, and an organized-crime network with deep business and intelligence ties in
both nations.
Though this series has so far focused on the ties of this network to main Republican Party
affiliates, the next and final installment will reveal the ties developed between this web and
the Clintons. As will be revealed, despite the Clintons’ willingness to embrace corrupt
dealings during the span of their political careers, their mostly friendly relationship with
this network still saw them use the power of sexual blackmail to obtain certain policy
decisions that were favorable to their personal and financial interests but not to the
Clintons’ political reputation or agendas.
Editor’s note | The original version of this article incorrectly stated that Rafi
Eitan was interested in repurposing the American-made Promise software to restore his standing
in Israel’s intelligence community caused by the fall-out from the Pollard Affair. The
Pollard Affair occurred three years after Eitan had succeeded in repurposing the software and
MintPress has removed that incorrect information from the article and regrets the
error.
This article also originally neglected to mention that Eitan, at the time of his
collaboration with Earl Brian to repurpose the Promis software, was the director of the
now-defunct Israeli military intelligence agency Lekem at the time of those events and that
information has been added to the story.

Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is hardly a billionaire, according to the financial
disclosure form his lawyers filed in seeking bail for him.
The single-page document had been kept under seal away from the public until the Manhattan
federal judge overseeing Epstein's sex-trafficking case released it Monday, dismissing it as
"cursory."
Epstein lists in the filing that he has:
Cash: $56,547,773
Fixed income: $14,304,679
Equities: $112,679,138
Hedge funds and private equity: $194,986,301
Properties: 9 E. 71st St., Manhattan, worth $55,931,000; 49 Zorro Ranch Rd., Stanley,
N.M., $17,246,208; 358 El Brillo Way, Palm Beach, Fla., $12,380,209; 22 Avenue Foch, Paris,
France, $8,672,823; Great St. James Island in the Virgin Islands, $22,498,600; and Little St.
James Island, V.I., $63,874,223.
The value of the assets listed adds up to $559,120,954.
The feds are arguing that Epstein -- who is accused of sex trafficking -- shouldn't be given
bail pending trial because of the superconnected former moneyman's potential ability to buy his
way to freedom.
Epstein's lawyers did not respond to a request for comment.
Millionaire
pedophile Jeffrey Epstein remained in the good graces of Wall Street titans
both
during and after
his 13-month work-release jail stint in 2008 - 2009, who only
severed ties with the registered sex offender when the heat was back on, according to
Bloomberg
.
For example, Barclays CEO and longtime associate Jes Staley "visited Epstein on the private
island, accompanied by his wife Debora," in 2015 -
seven years after everyone knew Epstein
was a pedophile
. They would sever ties months later
as new accusations of sexual
abuse were levied against the financier
, while weeks later the now-defunct Webstie Gawker
published his "little black book" containing over 1,000 names of prominent individuals and their
contacts.
Within months of the Bequia sailing from Little St. James,
Staley cut ties to Epstein
,
according to a person with knowledge of the situation.
The banker was in the running for
the top job at Barclays, a position that required interviews and approvals by U.K. regulators.
The wisdom of breaking from Epstein became apparent when the British press reported on their
relationship. -
Bloomberg
While not accused of participating in any of Epstein's illegal activities, Staley -
who
visited Epstein at his Palm Beach office while the Epstein was on prison work-release,
has
come under fire by those who want to know exactly how close the two were. By all accounts,
Epstein
played a pivotal role in Staley's rise
while running JP Morgan's private bank - referring
wealthy clients to the banker
and helping to arrange the bank's 2004 acquisition of
Highbridge Capital Management
.
Staley left JPMorgan in 2013 before joining hedge fund BlueMountain Capital Management. In
December 2015 joined Barclays as CEO.
Going back about two decades, Epstein regularly brought Staley business when he ran
JPMorgan's private bank and the two were close professionally, according to a person familiar
with the matter. One of those introductions Epstein made was to hedge fund billionaire Glenn
Dubin, the New York Times reported. -
Bloomberg
Staley aside, Epstein somehow managed to maintain his relationships on Wall Street despite his
sex-offender pedophile lifestyle,
including billionaire Leon Black, former Israeli Prime
Minister (and current candidate for the job)
Ehud Barak
- and was able to secure preferable stock allocations in dozens of IPOs. Via
Bloomberg:
Apollo Global Management
's Black met with Epstein at the company's New York offices. Black
dispatched Apollo co-founder Marc Rowan to attend a meeting at Epstein's Manhattan mansion with
representatives of Edmond de Rothschild Group to discuss how the two firms could work together
more closely, people with knowledge of the meeting said. Florence Gaubert, a spokeswoman for
Edmond de Rothschild, said she wasn't aware of any meeting and that the bank has no business
links with Apollo or Epstein.
BV70 LLC, a charity controlled by Black, donated $10 million to Epstein's foundation
Gratitude America, even as the New York Attorney General's Office questioned whether another of
Epstein's foundations was complying with state registration requirements.
Epstein invested in a partnership started in 2015 by Barak, prime minister from 1999 to
2001, according to the Israeli newspaper
Haaretz
.
Meanwhile, Epstein's travel became far more frequent in 2015 - as he flew between New York, the
US Virgin Islands, New Mexico (where he owns a compound), and Paris.
In 2017
, filings for Epstein's Gratitude America charity reveal
investment
income of $899,417
from 52 trades -
most of which involved IPOs
.
Clearly
nobody had a problem associating with the pedophile or his money.
"The IPO trading is evidence of Mr. Epstein's level of access to the offerings," said Jacob
Frenkel, chair of government investigations and securities enforcement at Dickinson Wright.
Enter the Miami Herald
In 2018, Epstein became truly radioactive after the
Miami Herald
published a series of
reports beginning in November - titled Perversion of Justice. Not only did the
Herald
catalogue
Epstein's many accusers - the series focused on the
sweetheart deal he was given
by
former Trump Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta despite dozens of accusers levying claims. Acosta
resigned last month amid the controversy.
Meanwhile,
Deutsche Bank fired Epstein as a client earlier this year
, and has
been actively assisting the case against him, according to court filings.
Epstein blackmailed Parliament into accepting Staley. I have been
trying to publish the FOIA that proves it fro two years, but
nobody in mainstream press will touch it.
John Mann MP and Mark Garnier MP lied to the Daily Mail to
cover up the facts. The FOIA proves it. No politician will get
back to me to provide an explanation.
Don't think many will be going behind bars. The indictment is
limited to actions that took place in NYC and his smallish
house in Palm Beach. No mention whatsoever of Little St.
James Island in the USVI where most of the action seems to have
taken place. Also unmentioned, his large Zorro Ranch in New
Mexico.
And it is being handled by the business corruption
SDNY squad and not the Sex Crimes group one might have
expected.
Oh, and Comey's daughter who is on the prosecution team is
married not just to a jewish guy but to one who taught at the
University of Tel Aviv.
Billionaire Victoria's Secret owner Leslie Wexner says that Jeffrey Epstein misappropriated over
$46 million of his fortune, according to the
Wall
Street Journal
.
The L Brands founder revealed in a Wednesday letter to the Wexner Foundation that the missing
funds were uncovered after a
2007 falling out
he had with the pedophile financier
following allegations involving the sexual abuse of underage girls.
Of note, Epstein allegedly ran a
'casting couch' operation
for aspiring Victoria's Secret models out of his Manhattan townhome
whereby he would promise young girls jobs with the fashion company.
"
We discovered that he had misappropriated vast sums of money from me and my family
,"
wrote Wexner, adding "
This was, frankly, a tremendous shock
, even though it
clearly pales in comparison to the unthinkable allegations against him now."
In January 2008, Mr. Epstein transferred $46 million worth of investments to a Wexner
charitable fund, tax records show. Mr. Wexner said the transfer was only a portion of the funds
that his money manager had allegedly misappropriated. "All of that money -- every dollar of it -- was
originally Wexner family money," he wrote. -
Wall
Street Journal
Wexner provided no evidence for his claim, which certainly adds distance between he and
Epstein.
Last month, the Wexner told employees in an internal email that he "
was NEVER aware of
the illegal activity
" Epstein is accused of committing. "As you can imagine, this past
week
I have searched my soul ... reflected ... and regretted that my path ever crossed his.
"
said the 81-year-old mogul of Epstein.
After launching a business relationship in the 1980s, Wexner and Epstein formed 'a financial and
personal bond that baffled longtime associates,' according to the
New
York Times
.
"
I think we both possess the skill of seeing patterns
," Wexner told
Vanity
Fair
in 2003. "But Jeffrey sees patterns in politics and financial markets, and I see patterns
in lifestyle and fashion trends."
Wexner would go on to open doors for Epstein - who managed "many aspects of his financial
life."
By 1995,
Epstein was a director of the Wexner Foundation and Wexner Heritage
Foundation and president of Wexner's N.A. Property Inc
., which developed the Ohio town
of New Albany, where Wexner lives.
Epstein also was involved in Wexner's superyacht,
"Limitless,"
attending meetings at the London studios of the firm that designed the
vessel. -
Bloomberg
Epstein is currently sitting in a Manhattan jail cell awaiting trial on allegations of
sex-trafficking minors in what federal prosecutors allege was a multi-decade scheme to procure and
sexually abuse scores of girls. If convicted, he faces up to 45 years in prison.
An old Epstein trick. He got Wexler so excited looking at the
Victoria's Secret models, he forgot to look in his pocket book. He
had his hands in the wrong pockets.
STFU Wexler. If that money went to finance his activities you
could presumably be a facilitator who is now trying to desert that

@Fran TaubmanExcept in a few Nevada counties, being a prostitute of any age, being a
customer of a prostitute, procuring and arranging contacts between prostitutes and customer,
running a prostitution business and soliciting sex for money are crimes no matter what the
age of the prostitute in every state and territory of the United States including Little St
James Island and the states of New York and Florida.
The girls were prostitutes paid for sex. Epstein, Maxwell, the pilot Nadia and others were
procurers and arrangers of the prostitution.
He was was engaged in his pedo activities that he probably did not have any time to engage in financial speculations. Especially
as risky as currencies trades.
Epstein going to jail for 20 or more years? Epstein being killed? Think again.
Roger Stone, in his book on Clinton's War on Women, pp. 122-123 states as follows:
"He was manipulating currencies for the CIA", said Hoffenberg, former owner of the New
York Post and collections business genius, who flamed out in a multi-million dollar Ponzi sam
in the 80's.
"His pal Larry Summers hooked him up.", Hoffenberg said of then then secretary
of the Treasury. "He destabilized Middle Eastern currencies to help Israel. He's protected.",
he told us.
From the Daily Beast:
In the 1995 letter, Forester de Rothschild writes, "Dear Mr. President (Clinton) : It was
a pleasure to see you recently at Senator Kennedy's house. There was too much to discuss and
too little time. Using my fifteen seconds of access to discuss Jeffrey Epstein and currency
stabilization, I neglected to talk to you about a topic near and dear to my heart. Namely,
affirmative action and the future."
She then goes on to note that she's sending him a memo on
the latter subject, which George Stephanopoulos had asked her to write, and signs off,
"Sincerely, Lynn Forester."
"... all these scientists could not have not noticed that there were young girls running around and all kinds of pornographic art and photographs and art on the walls even if they kept their underpants on for the massages. ..."
"... So we have the worlds most powerful politicians, actors, bankers, lawyers, media moguls, heads of industry, and now scientists [possibly] participating in pedo-orgies with good old Jeff Epstein. ..."
Trunews (55′) gets into how Epstein was flying Nobel prize winning scientists to
his pedo island, Zoro Ranch, Palm Beach, and Manhattan. Many of these "scientists" were
transhumanists and Physicists. Stephen Hawkings even visited him after his guilty plea for
pedophilia.
Mr. Epstein attracted a glittering array of prominent scientists. They included the
Nobel Prize-winning physicist Murray Gell-Mann, who discovered the quark; the theoretical
physicist and best-selling author Stephen Hawking; the paleontologist and evolutionary
biologist Stephen Jay Gould; Oliver Sacks, the neurologist and best-selling author; George
M. Church, a molecular engineer who has worked to identify genes that could be altered to
create superior humans; and the M.I.T. theoretical physicist Frank Wilczek, a Nobel
laureate.
Rick and gang point out that all these scientists could not have not noticed that
there were young girls running around and all kinds of pornographic art and photographs and
art on the walls even if they kept their underpants on for the massages.
So we have the worlds most powerful politicians, actors, bankers, lawyers, media
moguls, heads of industry, and now scientists [possibly] participating in pedo-orgies with
good old Jeff Epstein.
Meanwhile these same "scientists" all sing the exact same tune: global warming is the
planet's biggest threat, on 9/11 three massive buildings crashed after 2 were hit by jets, 6
gorillian were gassed, MH17 was hit by a Russian missile, 5G is as harmless as vaccinations,
dozens of HAARP stations spread across the planet are only for "research" and those
chem-trails you see in the sky are merely "contrails".
What I find most disgusting is how self-proclaimed "intellectuals" and "scholars" like Ron
Unz instantly circle their "peer reviewed" wagons around all these other owned "scientists"
and "nobel prize winners" and then scream their "It's Science" war cry whenever their
preferred narrative is threatened.
"... No publicly released details should be naively accepted. For example, it makes no sense to me that he just happened to be flying back to the US. I assume he was effectively renditioned. ..."
"... Acosta is anything but a mystery. He was told to make this go away. You'll note that no one asked Robert Mueller about the case when he testified last week even though he was FBI Director at the time. Maybe he was suffering from dementia back then too! ..."
A few comments on Epstein. First, exercise some common sense. The timing of the resuscitation
of his case is anything but coincidental. Whomever made that happen -- like flipping a light
switch -- is sending a message and applying leverage. My guess would be in the context of the
conspiracy against the duly elected POTUS. The malefactors will take some hostages as they're
exposed and indicted.
No publicly released details should be naively accepted. For example, it makes no sense to
me that he just happened to be flying back to the US. I assume he was effectively
renditioned.
Acosta is anything but a mystery. He was told to make this go away. You'll note that no
one asked Robert Mueller about the case when he testified last week even though he was FBI
Director at the time. Maybe he was suffering from dementia back then too!
All I know is that I correctly predicted right after Epstein's arrest that Weissmann and
the other Mueller staff wouldn't testify behind closed doors as they were scheduled to.
Mueller's testimony was delayed for a week. In my view to arrange a deal so that he wasn't
asked anything about this under oath and to otherwise act like he could no longer knew how
tie his shoes.
That said, it really is a fool's errand to try to find out a high level play like this.
Usually there are many moving parts.
it is quite intriguing that so many of these cases involve the sort of criminal or
sexual misbehavior that would be ideally suited for blackmailing powerful individuals who
are less likely to be vulnerable to other influences. So perhaps many of the elected
officials situated at the top of our democratic system merely reign as political puppets,
dancing to invisible strings.
I would invite Ron Unz and readers to look up the recent case of a Mark W. Levin
(b.1944 or '45). He has a murky background, but by the 2000s was apparently involved closely
with some outer-tier DC organizations and by the 2010s at a small DC graduate school aimed at
aspiring intelligence agents.
Levin pressured young men for sex, used blackmail and threats, though the stick was mixed
in with carrots. In a word, he appeared to be part of an operation with some striking
similarities to the kinds of political blackmail operations (or the gaining of 'compromised'
people) alleged/proposed in this article.
The Mark W. Levin story was reported in mainstream media (see some excerpts, below; Google
or Bing or DuckDuckGo for much more), but there are some questions have deserved asking since
the scandal broke in spring 2017, such as: What was the source of Levin's money, with which
he paid for some students' tuition? Do we know for sure that Levin was "acting alone"? Did he
have any political objectives? The story was fairly extensively reported on, but I don't
think any of these questions were answered.
It's possible Mark W. Levin was just a lone, sick con-artist acting alone for
homosexual-gratification and power, which is what the media depicted him as. It is also
possible that he really was (at least at one time) part of a blackmail operation, and that
after years of service he finally went down or was discarded, messily (a lawsuit against him
was made public in spring 2017).
This is really a small-time case compared to Epstein, but it may be useful for comparative
purposes.
Excerpts from some press reports in the case:
[Hide MORE]
In the late 1990s, Levin began attending the institute's public lectures. Then he
started handing over checks to pay for the tuitions of certain students, though the source
of the money was a mystery
By late 2012, the alleged victim said, Levin told him that if he wanted to remain a
candidate for Levin's covert group, he needed to avoid marriage, children, sexually
transmitted diseases and relationships with Muslim women. Levin warned him, he said, that
his "guys" would constantly watch him and that if he didn't follow instructions, he would
be blacklisted from government jobs.
Levin began inviting his protege back to his Arlington apartment building to practice
drawing a weapon – shirtless. Soon, the man said, Levin began fondling him and giving
him prostate exams, telling him the inspections were key to his recruitment. Levin also
bathed him in the shower under the pretext of helping him with his hygiene, according to
the alleged victims' lawsuit [ ]
Although Levin told him that he was free to refuse, the Arlington man said he did not
want to imperil his candidacy for the clandestine organization or risk losing out on
government jobs.
When the Falls Church man applied for his internship in July 2016, Levin told him "The
Watchers" or "my guys" had been surveilling him.
"Then, Mark told me: 'I've killed 38 people. We have people killed all the time. And we
cover our tracks,' " he said. "I was intimidated."
John Doe recalls following Levin's instructions him to masturbate and ejaculate on his
own stomach.
"Levin proceeded to play with the semen on Mr. Doe's stomach, and then informed Mr. Doe
that his semen output was insufficient and could have damaging effects on Mr. Doe's
'candidacy,' and this exercise would therefore need to be repeated in the future," the
complaint states.
Though the men say they found such treatment degrading, they say they trusted Levin's
credentials and believed his threats, some veiled and some explicit, about his ability to
harm them.
Similar rumors swirl around events much farther back in history as well, sometimes with
enormous consequences. Well-placed contemporary sources have claimed that Samuel Untermyer, a
wealthy Jewish lawyer, purchased the secret correspondence between Woodrow Wilson and his
longtime mistress, and that the existence of that powerful leverage may have been an
important factor behind Wilson's astonishingly rapid rise from president of Princeton in 1910
to governor of New Jersey in 1911 to president of the United States in 1912. Once in office,
Wilson signed the controversial legislation establishing the Federal Reserve system in 1913
and also named Louis Brandeis as the first Jewish member of the U.S. Supreme Court despite
the public opposition of nearly our entire legal establishment. Wilson's swiftly changing
views on American involvement in the First World War may also have influenced by such
personal pressures rather than solely determined by his perceptions of the national
interest
When writing of the Protocols in the "International Jew" Henry Ford discussed the blackmail
issue, referring anonymously to three political figures, one of whom was clearly Wilson, that
were then under control of the hidden hand. Don't know who the other two were.
Re Wilson and Untermyer, my understanding was that Unternyer simultaneously represented Mrs.
Peck, the wife of one of Wilson's fellow professors with who Wilson had an affair, in a
(potential) alienation of affections claim against Wilson, and represented Wilson in the same
matter, and supplied the money to Wilson to settle the claim, thereby cementing control over
him. (Don't remember where I read this.)
Re the pedophilia issue, don't rule out that there is an element of Evil involved in
this.
Former President Bill Clinton was a much more frequent flyer on a registered sex offender's infamous jet than previously reported,
with flight logs showing the former president taking at least 26 trips aboard the "Lolita Express" -- even apparently ditching his
Secret Service detail for at least five of the flights, according to records obtained by FoxNews.com.
Clinton's presence aboard Jeffrey Epstein's Boeing 727 on 11 occasions has been reported, but flight logs show the number is more
than double that, and trips between 2001 and 2003 included extended junkets around the world with Epstein and fellow passengers identified
on manifests by their initials or first names, including "Tatiana." The tricked-out jet earned its Nabakov-inspired nickname because
it was reportedly outfitted with a bed where passengers had group sex with young girls.
"Bill Clinton associated with a man like Jeffrey Epstein, who everyone in New York, certainly within his inner circles, knew was
a pedophile," said Conchita Sarnoff, of the Washington, D.C. based non-profit Alliance to Rescue Victims of Trafficking, and author
of a book on the Epstein case called
"TrafficKing." "Why would a former president associate with a man like
that?"
... ... ...
Virginia Roberts, 32, who claims she was pimped out by Epstein at age 15, has previously claimed she saw Clinton at Epstein's getaway
in 2002, but logs do not show Clinton aboard any flights to St. Thomas, the nearest airport capable of accommodating Epstein's plane.
They do show Clinton flying aboard Epstein's plane to such destinations as Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, China, Brunei, London, New
York, the Azores, Belgium, Norway, Russia and Africa.
Among those regularly traveling with Clinton were Epstein's associates, New York socialite Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein's assistant,
Sarah Kellen, both of whom were investigated by the FBI and Palm Beach Police for recruiting girls for Epstein and his friends.
Official flight logs filed with the Federal Aviation Administration show Clinton traveled on some of the trips with as many as 10
U.S. Secret Service agents. However, on a five-leg Asia trip between May 22 and May 25, 2002, not a single Secret Service agent is
listed. The U.S. Secret Service has declined to answer multiple Freedom of Information Act requests filed by FoxNews.com seeking
information on these trips. Clinton would have been required to file a form to dismiss the agent detail, a former Secret Service
agent told FoxNews.com.
In response to a separate FOIA request from FoxNews.com, the U.S. Secret Service said it has no records showing agents were ever
on the island with Clinton.
Jeffrey Epstein became an FBI INFORMANT to secure sweetheart deal
and shut down federal probe into the pedophile's abuse of underage girls, government records
reveal
The FBI closed out their probe of Jeffrey Epstein in September 2008 after two years of
interviewing victims and speaking to witnesses
The last report, on September 18, 2008, notes that Epstein 'provided information to
the FBI as agreed upon', according to the case agent
It further states that 'no prosecution will occur in this matter as long as Epstein
continues to uphold his agreement with the State of Florida'
No agents visited Epstein in jail so it is unclear when he spoke to them, but his
assistant Story Cowles visited almost every day and acted as his emissary
Cowles would claim to be a paralegal when he signed in, as only lawyers and doctors
were approved to visit the convict
Jeffrey Epstein managed to shut down a federal probe into his illicit and illegal activities
with underage girls and secure his sweetheart plea deal by providing information' to the
government, FBI reports confirm.
A federal investigation into the pedophile led by the FBI was closed out on September 18,
2008 when Epstein 'provided information to the FBI as agreed upon' according to the case
agent.
That investigation had been underway for two years at that point, but it was noted in the
final report that 'no prosecution will occur in this matter as long as Epstein continues to
uphold his agreement with the State of Florida.'
The investigation had been dormant for seven months by then, with FBI records obtained by
DailyMail.com showing that the lead agent had not filed a report since February 11 at the time
he closed the case.
That February report notes that 'that the criminal investigation into activities of Jeffrey
Epstein is ongoing,' and that the case agent had been told the matter was 'highly sensitive' by
the United States Attorney's Office.
This There was a 53-page indictment that the federal agents were prepared to bring to a
grand jury at that time, and the asset forfeiture investigator had met with Assistant US
Attorney Antonia J Barnes several times. Epstein was spared from future forfeiture as well, as
noted in the report that closed out the case.
EPSTEIN'S INFO ON BEAR STEARNS EXECS
It has been reported that Epstein got his light sentence in part because of information he
traded on Bear Stearns hedge fund managers Ralph Cioffi and Matthew Tannin. The two men had bet
very heavily on the Florida housing market, and found themselves with a target on their backs
when the subprime market started to implode. The SEC settled with the men and suspended them
from the securities industry while the government launched a federal case. Eopstein was said to
have given information by some, though others have questioned what information he would have
been able to give in the case. In the end, both men were acquitted.
It is unclear when Epstein spoke with agents, as no one registered with the FBI signed into
see him once he began serving his time in July.
One source told DailyMail.com that Epstein was using his assistant Story Cowles to serve as
his emissary at this time, and prison records obtained by DailyMail.com do show that the young
man visited Epstein almost every single day prior to his being granted work release. Cowles
would arrive in the morning on most days, stay for a few hours and then leave around lunch
time.
He would then return a second time and leave again around 7pm, generally logging six or
seven hours in jail each day as a result, despite he himself having committed no crime.
Epstein tried to hide his association with Cowles by having him sign in as a paralegal, as
only lawyers and a doctor were among the 20 approved visitors at the jail.
Epstein also managed to get what was a two-year sentence in the non-prosecution agreement
cut down to 18 months, and in the end was released 13 months after he reported to the Palm
Beach Barracks. was five months after Epstein signed his non-prosecution agreement, but four
months before it would be presented in court during his sentencing on two charges related to
solicitation of a minor.
Epstein relied on a network of high school students to provide him with many of the two to
three girls he needed for his daily 'massages' at the time of his arrest.
Incidents reports and probable cause affidavits filed by members of the Palm Beach Police
Department during their 2005 investigation do not name any of these women with the exception of
one - Haley Robson.
She was a student at Royal Palm High School when she herself was recruited to give Epstein a
massage, but when he started to molest her she objected to being touched by the pedophile, who
worked out another deal with the teenager.
Epstein informed Robson that she would be paid $200 for every girl she brought in, an offer
the student could not refuse.
It is unclear if she even knew what she was doing was illegal, with the 19-year-old college
student wrapping up one police interview by boasting: 'I'm like Heidi Fleiss.'
That remark came after she willingly provided police with the names and ages of all the
girls she had bought to Epstein, thus implicating herself in a number of crimes.
Robson told police she had provided Epstein with at least six girls over a two-year period,
with the youngest being 14 and the oldest a 23-year-old woman.
She said that she was chided for the latter, with Epstein informing her the woman was too
old.
Robson did not groom the victims, who were mostly her classmates, and was instead very
straightforward about what was going to happen once the girls were alone with Epstein.
'During a sworn taped interview, SG stated that Haley Robson, a cousin of SG's boyfriend and
classmate at Royal Palm Beach High School worked for a wealthy man and did sexual favors for
him,' reads a probable cause affidavit obtained by DailyMail.com.
'She also admitted that Robson had offered her an opportunity to make money. During the
beginning of the month of February 2005, SG explained that she was first approached by Robson
to go with her to Epstein’s house.'
The victim was 14 at the time, while Haley was 18.
The parents of SG learned what had happened however after a fight at school, and soon after
contacted police thus launching the criminal investigation.
With parental consent, SG then contacted Robson as police recorded the call.
'SG spoke with Robson in an attempt to arrange another meeting with Epstein, SG asked
Robson, what did she need to do to make more money,' reads the affidavit.
'Robson stated, "the more you do, the more you get paid."
That call was in April, but it was not until October that police questioned Robson.
She is remarkably forthcoming in her interviews with police, and the affidavit suggests she
willingly volunteered all information she had about Epstein and her role in proving minors.
Robson also revealed to police that she too was a victim.
'I began the interview by asking Robson how she became acquainted with Epstein. Robson
stated that approximately two years ago, just after she turned 17 years of age, she was
approached by a friend named Molly at the Canopy Beach Resort in Rivera Beach,' notes the
affidavit.
'Robson was asked if she wanted to make money. She was told she would have to provide a
massage and should make $200.00. Robson thought about the offer and agreed to meet with
Jeffrey.'
Things changed however once she got in the room with Epstein, and explains why Robson never
hid what was going to happen when the girls she was providing were alone with the
pedophile.
'Jeff entered the bedroom wearing only a towel. He removed the towel and laid nude on the
massage table. He laid on the table onto his stomach and picked a massage oil for Robson to rub
on him,' reads the affidavit.
'During the massage, Robson stated "He tried to touch me and I stopped him ." I asked how he
tried to touch her. Robson stated that Epstein grabbed her buttocks and she felt uncomfortable.
Robson told Epstein I'll massage you but I don’t want to be touched. Robson stated she
performed the massage naked.'
That is when Epstein offered to pay her if she brought girls, which she did, providing six
between the ages of 14 and 16 to Epstein, plus the seventh woman he rejected for being too
old.
Robson provided police with the name and addresses of each girl, and seems to truly believe
she was helping them by setting up these appointments with Epstein.
'Robson stated every girl she brought knew what to expect when they arrived. They were told
they would provide a massage, possibly naked, and allow some touching,' states the
affidavit.
'I asked her if SG was aware. She stated every girl she brought knew what to expect She
explained she knew that SG wanted to make money. She approached SG and explained about going to
work for Jeff, SG agreed and arrangements were made to bring her to Epstein’s house on a
weekend.'
Robson stopped speaking to Epstein after arranging that February appointment with SG, though
it is unclear if that was of her own fruition or fear of arrest.
She was set to be charged with Lewd and Lascivious Act on a victim under 16 in the second
degree, but ultimately avoided charges.
Police did not name any of the other students and Robson has now become linked to Epstein
despite only meeting the man a handful of times.
She could again become a key witness in the new trial too, as she and Epstein's longtime
assistant Sarah Kellen would speak by phone according to police prior to Epstein's arrival in
Palm Beach.
MaxHat ,
Fairfield, United States, about 7 hours ago
I don't care who is involved in all of this but everyone who is should be imprisoned for
life. Absolutely ridiculous that this guy has been doing this for years and no one stopped
him.
Last Friday, Bradshaw announced the internal affairs investigation after reports emerged
that Epstein -- while on work release in Palm Beach -- was allowed female visitors to his
office, including at least one visit that led to a sexual encounter. The terms of Epstein's
incarceration were detailed by the Herald as part of a series published last year about
Epstein's case, Perversion of Justice.
Jack Scarola, who represents several of Epstein's victims, said it is ludicrous to think
that Bradshaw is able to investigate his own department.
"The allegations are against the sheriff and there's no way a credible investigation can be
conducted by the sheriff's office when the allegations extend to the very top of the
organization,'' Scarola said.
Book, whose father, Ron Book, is perhaps the most powerful lobbyist in Florida, said she
intends to pressure the governor for a full and thorough investigation.
"The privileges that Epstein received in Palm Beach County were outside the scope of what
anyone else would receive. We need an independent body to identify whether this was an issue of
individual failures or systemic failures. And if it was an individual failure, we need to hold
those individuals accountable,'' she said.
Bradshaw, who is running for his fifth term, wields tremendous power in Palm Beach, where
the agency has also been the lead law enforcement detail assisting the Secret Service during
President Donald Trump's visits to Mar-a-Lago. The Palm Beach Sheriff's Office spent $5.6
million for Trump's 2017-2018 trips, the Palm Beach Post reported in April. The
department is reimbursed for the work.
Epstein was found on the floor of his jail cell with injuries to his neck, according to a
report from NBC New York late Wednesday.
The television station said another inmate had been questioned and that Epstein is on
suicide watch. A source told CBS News the injuries were not life threatening. The New York
Post reported that Epstein was taken to a nearby hospital and may have intentionally hurt
himself in order to win a transfer out of the federal facility.
Quoting unnamed law enforcement officials, The New York Times said prison officials
were treating the incident, which left Epstein with "bruising around the neck," as a possible
suicide attempt.
The jet-setting financier was denied bail last week after a federal judge said he posed a
danger to young women. His lawyers have filed their intent to appeal, saying he should be
released to his palatial Upper East Side Manhattan townhouse.
Epstein, who has pleaded not guilty, roamed the halls of power before dozens of underage
girls accused him of sexual assaults. After preparing a 50-plus-page indictment on sex
trafficking charges, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida shelved
the charges and allowed Epstein to plead guilty to minor charges in state court. That's how
Epstein ended up in the Palm Beach County Jail -- and then on work release approved by Sheriff
Bradshaw.
The Next Chapter of the Epstein Story
Ghislaine Maxwell, the financier's longtime companion, has been accused of participating in
his abuses. Thousands of sealed records involving her may soon be released.

Tobin
As the Times goes on to note, even after his 2008 conviction on charges of soliciting
prostitution from a minor, Epstein was able to ingratiate himself with the scientific community
, attracting a "glittering array of prominent scientists."
They included the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Murray Gell-Mann, who discovered the
quark; the theoretical physicist and best-selling author Stephen Hawking ; the paleontologist
and evolutionary biologist Stephen J. Gould; Oliver Sacks, the neurologist and best-selling
author; George M. Church, a molecular engineer who has worked to identify genes that could be
altered to create superior humans; and the M.I.T. theoretical physicist Frank Wilczek, a
Nobel laureate. - New York
Times
Scientists had regular parties at Epstein's Manhattan mansion, drinking Dom Pérignon
and other expensive libations. The wealthy financier also hosted buffet lunchest at Harvard's
Program for Evolutionary Dynamics - to which he contributed $6.5 million in order to get it off
the ground.
Harvard cognitive psychologist Steven Pinker says he was invited to "salons and coffee
klatsches" at which Epstein would 'hold court.'
While some of Mr. Pinker's peers hailed Mr. Epstein as brilliant, Mr. Pinker described him
as an "intellectual impostor."
"He would abruptly change the subject, A.D.D.-style, dismiss an observation with an
adolescent wisecrack," Mr. Pinker said.
Another scientist cultivated by Mr. Epstein, Jaron Lanier, a prolific author who is a
founding father of virtual reality, said that Mr. Epstein's ideas did not amount to science,
in that they did not lend themselves to rigorous proof. Mr. Lanier said Mr. Epstein had once
hypothesized that atoms behaved like investors in a marketplace.
Mr. Lanier said he had declined any funding from Mr. Epstein and that he had met with him
only once after Mr. Epstein's 2008 guilty plea. - New York
Times
So.... Epstein lied " in an effort to worm his way into the 'upper echelons of society.'
"
So the "upper echelons of society" include Lanier, "the virtual-reality creator and
author," two unnamed "award winning" scientists, and one unnamed "advisor" to large companies
and wealthy individuals.
So, what "awards" did these unnamed scientists win? Employee of the Month, entitling them
to a reserved parking space for a week? As for "advisor," ****, I can claim to be an advisor
to wealthy individuals. ("Trust me. Go with the pink toenail polish.") I have also from time
to time offered my advice to large companies. ("Go **** yourself.")
Further, Epstein didn't "worm his way" into anything. His mode of operation was apparently
to entice/entrap his "victims" and keep them on a short leash forever after.
This whole piece is one of the most transparently disingenuous things I've ever read. They
make the guy sound like he was waiting tables in SoHo and social climbing (apparently among
people of little or no importance) to try to get a part in an off-Broadway production--by
telling funny stories.
Kuvin speculated whether Epstein would "survive" to make his upcoming trial, comparing the
situation to the 1959 Profumo affair, where socialite Stephen Ward was put on trial for
procuring young women for the British elite but killed himself before the verdict was
announced.
"We know that Mr Ward, who was involved in that affair and the procurement of women for
some notable people, was given bail and committed suicide while out on bail – so it'll
be interesting to see whether or not Mr Epstein attempts again to get out on bail and if he
does whether he survives between now and the date of his trial," said Kuvin.
The lawyer also noted that Eyes Wide Shut-style sex parties attended by masked men had been
taking place for over 50 years
Too obvious. They'll probably find some brother in prison to inject him with the AIDS and
then let him die with poor healthcare. Probably delay the trial a few times until he is
dead
Anyone who buys the narrative that's been promoted need to learn the value of
skepticism.
The fact that Epstein voluntarily turned himself in and that he's not sitting in a luxury
mossad safe-house in IsraHell, should be a obvious red flag that a hell of a lot more is
going on that (((They))) are going to keep hidden.
This is all about having the screws to turn to get the behavior and control on those they
own.
If Oberführer Müeller can get Whitey whacked in a Fed pen the Clinton Foundation
will have no problem Arkansiding Epstain in the Manhattan lockup or Riker's
When we met in 1986, Epstein's double identity intrigued me -- he said he didn't just
manage money for clients with mega-fortunes, he was also a high-level bounty hunter.
Sometimes, he told me, he worked for governments to recover money looted by African
dictators. Other times those dictators hired him to help them hide their stolen money.

That was while Robert Mueller ran the Bureau, which means everything about Epstein's blackmail and kompromat operation
has been tucked safely away out of sight in FBI files for at least a decade. Much longer, new evidence shows.
The real question is, why did the FBI wait for more than a decade to bust Epstein and Maxwell?
Epstein and Maxwell came to the attention of the FBI in 1996, when, curiously, the Bureau never acted on an accusation that
they had together sexually abused a 15 year old girl in a bedroom inside Epstein's Manhattan townhouse. Documents in a recent
law suit filed by an alleged victim, Maria Farmer, show that the FBI had been aware of Epstein and Maxwell's child abuse activities
in New York for at least a dozen years before Epstein was finally charged in 2008 with much-reduced Florida state offenses.
https://www.yourtango.com/2019323698/who-maria-farmer-latest-woman-accus...
Farmer claims she reported her sexual assault to New York police and the FBI in 1996. "To my knowledge, I was the first
person to report Maxwell and Epstein to the FBI," she wrote in her affidavit."
*CIA Acknowledged in 2003, It Knew that Ghislaine Maxwell's Late Father was a Major Foreign Intelligence Agent Operating
Inside the U.S.
Previously, Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine's father, had for many years been known to have been involved in high-level espionage
in the United States, as detailed in a 2003 publication of the CIA Center for the Study of Intelligence, The Intelligence Officer's
Bookshelf . Therein, the CIA reviewer of a biography by British author Gordon Thomas acknowledged about Maxwell:
https://www.cia.gov/library/center-for-the-study-of-intelligence/csi-pub...
That Robert Maxwell was a ruthless, corrupt, tax-dodging international businessman who served as an Israeli agent is
highly probable.
For the deeper background to the Epstein-Maxwell multinational blackmail, coverup and kompromat operation, we have to
look at the events that led up to the 1991 death of Robert Maxwell. A summary of the Maxwell bio by its authors recounts:
British Publisher Robert Maxwell
Was Mossad Spy
By Gordon Thomas And Martin Dillon
The Mirror - UK
12-6-2002
[ . . .]
Eleven years after former Daily Mirror owner Robert Maxwell plunged from his luxury yacht to a watery grave, his death still
arouses intense interest.
Many different theories have circulated about what really happened on board the Lady Ghislaine that night in May 1991.
[ . . . ]
The Jewish millionaire and former Labour MP [born Ludvik Hoch
in Czechoslovakia] died the way he had lived - threatening.
He had threatened his wife. Threatened his children. Threatened the staff of this newspaper.
But finally he issued one threat too many - he threatened Mossad.
He told them that unless they gave him £400million to save his crumbling empire, he would expose all he had done for them.
In that time, he had free access to Margaret Thatcher's Downing Street, to Ronald Reagan's White House, to the Kremlin and
to the corridors of power throughout Europe.
On top of that he had built himself a position of power within the crime families of eastern Europe, teaching them how to
funnel their vast wealth from drugs, arms smuggling and prostitution to banks in safe havens around the globe.
Maxwell passed on all the secrets he learned to Mossad in Tel Aviv. In turn, they tolerated his excesses, vanities and insatiable
appetite for a luxurious lifestyle and women.
He told his controllers who they should target and how they should do it. He appointed himself as Israel's unofficial ambassador
to the Soviet Bloc. Mossad saw the advantage in that.
[ . . . ]
The more successful Maxwell became the more risks he took and the more dangerous he was to Mossad. At the same time, the
very public side of Maxwell, who then owned 400 companies, began to unwind.
He spent lavishly and lost money on deals. The more he lost, the more he tried to claw money from the banks. Then he saw
a way out of his problems.
He was approached by Vladimir Kryuchkov, head of the KGB. Spymaster and tycoon met in the utmost secrecy in the Kremlin.
Kryuchkov had an extraordinary proposal. He wanted Maxwell to help orchestrate the overthrow of Mikhail Gorbachev, the reformist
Soviet leader. That would bring to an end a fledgling democracy and a return to the Cold War days.
In return, Maxwell's massive debts would be wiped out by a grateful Kryuchkov, who planned to replace Gorbachev. The KGB
chief wanted Maxwell to use the Lady Ghislaine, named after Maxwell's daughter, as a meeting place between the Russian plotters,
Mossad chiefs and Israel's top politicians.
The plan was for the Israelis to go to Washington and say that democracy could not work in Russia and that it was better
to allow the country to return to a modified form of communism, which America could help to control. In return, Kryuchkov would
guarantee to free hundreds of thousands of Jews and dissidents in the Soviet republics.
Kryuchkov told Maxwell that he would be seen as a saviour of all those Jews. It was a proposal he could not refuse. But
when he put it to his Mossad controllers they were horrified. They said Israel would have no part in such a madcap plan.
For the first time, Maxwell had failed to get his own way. He started to threaten and bluster. He then demanded that,
for past services, he should receive immediately a quick fix of £400million to bale him out of his financial difficulties.
Instead of providing the money, a small group of Mossad officers set about planning his murder. They feared that he
was going to publicly expose all Mossad had done in the time he worked for them. They knew that he was gradually becoming mentally
unstable and paranoid. He was taking a cocktail of drugs - Halcion and Zanax - which had serious side effects.
The group of Mossad plotters sensed, like Solomon, he could bring their temple tumbling down and cause incalculable harm
to Israel. The plan to kill him was prepared in the utmost secrecy. A four-man squad was briefed.
Then Maxwell was contacted. He was told to fly to Gibraltar, go aboard the Lady Ghislaine and sail to the Canary Islands.
There at sea he would receive his £400million quick fix in the form of a banker's draft. Maxwell did as he was told.
On the night of November 4, 1991, the Lady Ghislaine, one of the world's biggest yachts, was at sea.
[ . . . ]
As Victor Ostrovsky, a former Mossad agent told us: "On that cold night Mossad's problems with Robert Maxwell were over."
The incontrovertible facts about his murder are contained in a previously-unseen autopsy report by Britain's then-leading
forensic pathologist Dr Iain West and Israel State Pathologist Dr Yehuda Hiss. Of all the documents in our possession, these
reports confirm the truth about Maxwell's death.
Gordon Thomas & Martin Dillon are authors of The Assassination of Robert Maxwell: Israel's Super Spy, published by Robson
Books.
The obvious question, why did the U.S. government let these intelligence crimes continue for decades, isn't being asked. The
answer is almost self-evident. Information and leverage obtained by Maxwell-Epstein and Co. was far too valuable to its several
operators to let it all end too soon.
leap out at me as suggesting how Epstein connects to much bigger subjects. First is the assertion that Maxwell was
... teaching them how to funnel their vast wealth from drugs, arms smuggling and prostitution to banks in safe havens around
the globe.
This area of trafficking and money laundering directly connects to Mueller and his essential exoneration of
HSBC .
The other quotation that suggests the importance of money laundering is here:
The plan was for the Israelis to go to Washington and say that democracy could not work in Russia and that it was better
to allow the country to return to a modified form of communism, which America could help to control.
The life's work of
Antony Sutton at Stanford's Hoover Institution shows that American industry was ALWAYS controlling communism as well as Soviet
industrial development, and that a trend toward social democracy, represented by Gorbachev, would have put an end to that control.
@Linda Wood his money laundering and blackmailing activities. While the review confirms that Robert Maxwell was for decades
a major Mossad agent actively setting up operations and cover in the United States and the UK, I can only surmise that the spreading
political influence of Eastern European organized crime networks and child honey traps are things that the Agency didn't want
to discuss publicly in 2003.
As for Mueller, let's not forget that he was FBI Director and before that the head of the Criminal Division at Main Justice
at the time that global "black finance" grew along with the catastrophic spread of multinational crime and terrorism. BCCI, Iran-Contra,
9/11, and the rise of transnational Oligarchs happened on his watch. As the Chief Law Enforcement Officer in the United States
at the time, it is hard to imagine anyone more responsibility for the ultimate consequences than Robert Mueller. There is perhaps
someone who bears ultimate responsibility, the President who appointed Mueller: George Herbert Walker Bush and his lesser son,
Shrub, who promoted him.
... wouldn't you assume that this entire affair is an ongoing Mossad operation, which may or may not have concluded? The US
IC is just another operative inside the envelope, but Mossad owns the assets and the intellectual property. I think we could assume
that some of this is automated and Mossad has ongoing leverage still in play.
The obvious question, why did the U.S. government let these intelligence crimes continue for decades, isn't being asked.
The answer is almost self-evident. Information and leverage obtained by Maxwell-Epstein and Co. was far too valuable to its
several operators to let it all end too soon.
.
Mossad's legendary blackmail traps ensnared even high-level deep state authorities and made them pliable. The recent history
of United States foreign policy is an enigma that can only be solved when that assumption is inserted. Once the assumption is
in place, it opens like a Pandora's box. Don't you find that to be the case?
In a recent investigation I presented the case that British banking and financial giant HSBC conspired with banking institutions
with documented links to terrorist financing, including those responsible for helping bankroll the 9/11 attacks.

Black Dossier: HSBC & Terrorist Finance
Moral equivalencies abound. After all, when American secret state agencies manage drug flows or direct terrorist proxies
to attack official enemies it's not quite the same as battling terror or crime.
Pounding home that point, a new report by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations accused HSBC of exposing "the
U.S. financial system to a wide array of money laundering, drug trafficking, and terrorist financing risks due to poor anti-money
laundering (AML) controls."
That 335-page report, "U.S. Vulnerabilities to Money Laundering, Drugs, and Terrorist Financing: HSBC Case History," (large
pdf file available
here ) was issued after a year-long Senate investigation zeroed-in on the bank's U.S. affiliate, HSBC Bank USA, N.A., better
known as HBUS.
Drilling down, we learned that amongst the "services" offered by HSBC subsidiaries and correspondent banks were sweet deals
with financial entities with terrorist ties; the transportation of billions of dollars in cash by plane and armored car through
their London Banknotes division; the clearing of sequentially-numbered travelers checks through dodgy Cayman Islands accounts
for Mexican drug lords and Russian mafiosi.
From richly-appointed suites at Canary Wharf, London, the bank's "smartest guys in the room" handed some of the most violent
gangsters on earth the financial wherewithal to organize their respective industries: global crime.
A case in point. In 2008 alone the Senate revealed that the bank's Cayman Islands branch handled some 50,000 client accounts
(all without benefit of offices or staff on Grand Cayman, mind you), yet still managed to ship some $7 billion (£10.9bn) in
cash from Mexico into the U.S. Now that's creative accounting!...
@Linda Wood HSBC, huh--there must be some clever name for it, which deserves no research.
what an eloquent article you presented. Brief but right on target. It isn't just sex, drugs and rock and roll. Now it is drugs
- money -sexual perversion--and perhaps worse? Rumors are flying about what video on the Weiner laptop showed. It is strictly
heresay, but a core of folks seem to believe the suspicions are possible.

Boy that Mueller has had a busy career
hasn't he? Didn't he start out in Chicago where he gave Whitey Bulgar cover for being a mob boss? Then there's his
cover up before and after 9/11. The weapons of mass destruction that he said Saddam had. The anthrax prosecution, Epstein's pedophilia
cover up, HSBC and now he is trying to cover Hillary's buttocks. And maybe Obama's? I'm sure I've missed a few things that he
did or didn't do.
Acosta is saying that if he hadn't made the plea deal then Epstein would never have served any time in
prison. Well he actually only slept there since he got to leave every day for work and then there's the massages he got after
his busy day at work. But there were more than 80 pages that the Feds wrote on his escapades so I think that story he told congress
is true. Acosta was told to stand down by someone at the top of the food chain. Mueller. Ugh what a slimy piece of work he
is. But not to the Russia Gaters. Oh no. "He is a highly decorated marine who takes no guff from anyone.
In that time, he had free access to Margaret Thatcher's Downing Street, to Ronald Reagan's White House, to the Kremlin
and to the corridors of power throughout Europe.
Inquiring minds want to know did Maxwell have access to Margaret and Ron because they liked him or because he had something
on them?
Great information! The more I learn the more I need a shower.
is how I've been feeling all week from reading about this, just more and more demoralized when I think about the depravation
of our so-called "leadership." What is it that we're supposed to think of as the new normal after this behavior?
That pedophelia and politics scandal, better known as the Franklin Coverup, made the papers for a few months, too, before
it was made to go away. Similarly, a couple of the operators served some time on reduced charges after that one.
The two main suspects in the Bush, Sr. White House child ring were Craig Spence and Lawrence E. King Jr. King sang the
National anthem at two GOP national conventions. He served time in jail for bank fraud. Spence was a Republican lobbyist before
he committed suicide. Several of his partners went to jail for being involved in the adult part of the homosexual prostitution
ring.
Mueller's scrupulous avoidance of the CIA link in his prosecution of Manuel Noriega and his diversion of the PanAm 103
bombing and framing of two Libyans. Bobby Mueller has been a real go to guy when the security establishment needs a phony investigation.
Bobby Mueller has been a real go to guy when the security establishment needs a phony investigation.
The anthrax investigation is the most serious of his crimes. Mueller is being
sued by his lead investigator in that case.
Because researchers in our biological weapons labs went public with what they were doing, and where such research was being
done in the U.S., we learned the CIA was one of several outfits doing biological weapons research.
But Mueller exonerated all of them, including the CIA, with no explanation and only focused on a lone vaccine researcher at
the Army lab when journalists began to ask why no one had been indicted after seven years of investigation, at which point the
FBI attempted to harass the suspect into committing suicide.
Every now and then, here and there the curtain lifts for a moment and the political elite of a country, the business elite,
the spy services, the military, and organized crime are revealed to be all working together, indeed practically joined at the
hip.
partnership started during the early Cold War with US intelligence officers facilitating the drug trade out of Turkey and
Burma through Europe. That soon spread to the Americas and globally. Covert operations such as Gladio, Condor, and the Safari
Club, and associated banks (Franklin National Bank, BCCI, Riggs Bank, HSBC, etc.) produced massive human rights violations, transnational
terrorism and governmental corruption. The CIA's secret wars provided funds and official cover for private-public sector alliance
of criminals, bankers and spooks around the world.
This "dark alliance" assumed a political and economic life of its own beyond its original intent to counter communist movements.
By the Vietnam War, Agency operators were running most of the heroin trade in the world through proprietary airlines, banks and
logistics companies. In the mid-1970s, CIA Director Bush expanded privatization with Saudi funding in his Safari Club deal that
eventually morphed into Al Qaeda and ISIS.
The CIA, MI6 and Mossad ran overlapping coordinated operations using privateers, paramilitaries and organized crime networks
that consumed vast amounts of cash generated by money laundering mechanisms. Enriched by the looting of the former Soviet Union,
along with the infusion of Arab oil money (the Saudi Yamamah slush fund), the "Octopus" became the instrument of Oligarchs
that have thoroughly corrupted western governments and secret services.
Multinational honey trap operations such as Maxwell-Epstein & Co. are an inevitable and continuing part of this privatization
and criminalization of intelligence that stretches back to the days of Tom Braden and Cord Meyer handing out stacks of greenbacks
to Mafiosi on the Corsican Docks.
The Snowden release included a number of documents that illustrate the on-line entrapment and political disruption activities
run by the two main communications intelligence agencies.
"Honey-trap; a great option. Very successful, when it works" (GCHQ, UK training program slide)
Without quoting the whole thing (which is worth a read):
Epstein recruits young girls, throws parties where he invites potential hedge fund clients, lets nature take its course
and films the proceedings, extracts blackmail in the form of investments to his (largely fake) hedge fund, which actually just
buys an index fund (no actual fund management required). He takes a percentage from the coerced investments. Nobody talks because
they have too much to lose. No suspicious payments to raise eyebrows at the IRS.
There's no need to invoke the Mafia/Russia/Mossad/CIA/etc, that's just needlessly overfitting.
Except such an operation would be quite attractive to intelligence services. Maybe they were in on the ground floor, maybe
they made Epstein an offer he couldn't refuse once they heard about it.
Epstein brought in the clients. The CIA/MI-6/Mossad provided necessary cover from the FBI and local cops - then,
three or four agencies shared the intelligence take, as they had for decades from Robert Maxwell's operations.
For Ghislaine, it was simply carrying on the family business for fun and profit. For the spooks, it was business as usual
going back to the Green House, the Berlin bordello founded in the the 1870s by Wilhelm Steiber, a Prussian Police section chief,
to provide useful intelligence to Bismarck's Military Intelligence, which he reorganized.
Steiber is considered the father of modern espionage. His methods were vastly influential, and he attracted students from London,
St. Petersburg to Tokyo. Each put their own national spin on the science of sexual blackmail. As for the Japanese, they are among
the most interesting and innovative in their use of a parallel network of privatized intelligence services incorporating underworld
Yakuzi groups alongside conventional military intelligence units. Using compromise, they gained and maintained control over Imperial
Japan and its Colonies: https://weaponsandwarfare.com/2019/03/15/eastern-peril/
To realize these divinely inspired ambitions, Japan needed a modern espionage system. Adopting the German model, Japanese
officials were sent to study under Wilhelm Stieber in the mid-1870s. Over the next decade Japan built up separate army and
naval intelligence services, each with an accompanying branch of secret military police (Kempeitai for the army and Tokeitai
for the navy). These latter organizations also provided an excellent counter-espionage service. However, where the Japanese
were unique was in the use of spies belonging to unofficial secret societies working alongside or independently of the official
intelligence agencies. These shadowy institutions were ultra-nationalist by nature, drawing their membership from a cross-section
of Japanese society, including the military, politics, industry and Yakuza underworld. Under ruthless leadership, their henchmen
would spy on, subvert and corrupt Japan's Far East neighbours.
For more on Steiber and his superior, von Hinckeldey, methods of international counter-insurgency, espionage, and political
policing included deception and a forerunner of today's internet surveillance:
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2006/11/29/275653/-
While armies are essential to the maintenance of autocracy, the preservation of dynastic rule and the prevention of democracy
requires an effective secret police. The suppression of its middle-class constitutionalists [during the 1840s] was followed
by the expansion of the Prussian political police under Karl Ludwig Friedrich von Hinckeldey.
Appointed police president of Berlin in late 1848, Hinckeldey was an innovator of many of the features of modern systematic
political policing. Among the tactics that he introduced with his new police system in Berlin was the "Litfass columns". Named
for Ernst Litfass, Frederick William's court printer, he had dozens of these large poles erected in strategic spots around
Berlin. The public posting of political notices was then banned. By application to a state office for a waiver, however, the
columns could be used to display messages. The police dutifully recorded the names of all who had applied. A. Richie, Faust's
Metropolis: A History of Berlin, New York: Carroll & Graf Publishers, 1998 at p.134.
LEGACY OF THE LITFASS COLUMNS: A similar ploy was later adopted by the People's Republic of China. In the mid-1980s, the
Communist authorities at first appear to tolerate the operation of a so-called Democracy Wall, where "dissidents" in Beijing
could post political writings, initially, without being arrested. Similar walls then sprung up under the noses of the authorities
in other Chinese cities. For this apparent opening to democracy, the Deng regime much applauded, particularly by some in the
Reagan-Bush Administration, eager to legitimize the regime and its growing commercial ties with U.S. corporations. Eventually,
many of those who had availed themselves of the wall to post political messages were, of course, arrested in the roundup of
hundreds of thousands of democracy supporters that followed the Tienamen Square massacre. The impression of anonymity and "freedom"
conveyed by the Internet, of course, presents a similar opportunity for police to cast a wide net for identifying persons and
organizations who may not hold favor for the regime in power, or may not in the future.
Hinckeldey also founded the Police Union, the first recorded international network of counterrevolutionary police spies
in modern times. Primarily made up of police officers from Prussia and the German states, the Union operated throughout Europe,
Britain and in the United States. The Union was run by his deputy, the notorious police provocateur, Wilhelm Steiber, who would
later reorganize the Okhrana along similar lines. Internationally active from 1851-1866, the Police Union, according to Mathieu
Deflem, was "one of the first formal initiatives in industrial society to establish an organized police system across national
borders."13
I disagree with the Alternet view on this. See, this is the norm. A purely private sexual blackmail ring of any scale would
be the historical exception. It certainly wouldn't survive very long.
...authorities at first appear to tolerate the operation of a so-called Democracy Wall, where "dissidents" in Beijing could

The impression of anonymity and "freedom" conveyed by the Internet, of course, presents a similar opportunity for police
to cast a wide net for identifying persons and organizations who may not hold favor for the regime in power, or may not in
the future.
But why should one avoid the thought? If the situation looks like the people are going to lose the war for their minds, and
are unwilling to back a publisher like Assange who has given his all to try to empower them, why should anyone put themselves
at risk by expressing their opinions? It's a honeypot of our own making, just as Facebook is where people go to write their own
dossiers for the Authorities.
@Pluto's Republic an enemy of the status quo, you raise the calculated costs of the eventual crackdown, pushing back the
day of reckoning. Keep it up! Visible rebellion is the only defense of the people.
...from which to leverage access to the elite, Harvard University would be a top choice.
Jeffery Epstein actually entered the social salons of the elite through many doors. He was, of course, a member of the Council
on Foreign Relations. One would have to be to rub shoulders with the political elite. From there he matriculated to the Trilateral
Commission becoming friendly with Harvard President, Larry Summers. **
Becoming a surprise mystery philanthropist at Harvard, with Summers help, was a booster rocket for Epstein. In the Havard Crimson , in
June 2003, Epstein's involvement with Harvard was celebrated.
People in the News: Jeffrey E. Epstein
Elusive financier Jeffrey E. Epstein donated $30 million this year to Harvard for the founding of a mathematical biology
and evolutionary dynamics program.
While the mathematics teacher turned magnate remained unknown to most people until he flew President Clinton, Kevin
Spacey and Chris Tucker to Africa to explore the problems of AIDS and economic development facing the region, Epstein
has been a familiar face to many at Harvard for years.
Networking with the University's leading intellectuals, Epstein has spurred research through both discussions with and dollars
contributed to various faculty members.
Lindsley Professor of Psychology Stephen M. Kosslyn, former Dean of the Faculty Henry A. Rosovsky and Frankfurter Professor
of Law Alan M. Dershowitz are among Epstein's bevy of eminent friends that includes princes, presidents and Nobel
Prize winners.
Epstein is also well acquainted with University President Lawrence H. Summers. The two serve together on the Trilateral
Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations, two elite international relations organizations.
Epstein's collection of high-profile friends also includes newly-recruited professor Martin A. Nowak, who will run Harvard's
mathematical biology and evolutionary dynamics program.
Like Kosslyn, Rosovsky and Dershowitz, Nowak praises Epstein's numerous relationships within the scientific community.
"I am amazed by the connections he has in the scientific world," Nowak says. "He knows an amazing number of scientists.
He knows everyone you can imagine."
Epstein's relationships within the academy are remarkable since the tycoon, who has amassed his fortune by managing
the wealth of billionaires from his private Caribbean island, does not hold a bachelor's degree.
Yet, friends and beneficiaries say they do not see Epstein merely as a man with deep pockets, but as an intellectual equal.
Dershowitz says Epstein is "brilliant" and Kosslyn calls Epstein "one of the brightest people I've ever known."
Epstein's beneficiaries say they are particularly appreciative of the no-strings-attached approach Epstein takes with his
donations.
"He is one of the most pleasant philanthropists," Nowak says. "Unlike many people who support science, he supports science
without any conditions. There are not any disadvantages to associating with him."
Friends and associates say Harvard stands to benefit from its evolving relationship with Epstein.
"I hope that he will, over time, become one of the leading supporters of science at Harvard," Rosovsky writes in an e-mail.
__________________________________________
** A footnote on Larry Summers seems important here:
Harvard-trained economists have been running the US economy for a very long time, and continue to do so. Summers began his ascent
as a professor of economics at Harvard University, leaving shortly before Bill Clinton won the Presidency. He was clearly the
Neoliberal seed planted for the New American Century.
In 1993, Summers was appointed Undersecretary for International Affairs of the United States Department of the Treasury
under the Clinton Administration. In 1995, he was promoted to Deputy Secretary of the Treasury under his long-time political
mentor Robert Rubin. In 1999, he succeeded Rubin as Secretary of the Treasury.
While working for the Clinton administration Summers played a leading role in the American response to the 1994 economic
crisis in Mexico, the 1997 Asian financial crisis, and the Russian financial crisis. He was also influential in the Harvard
Institute for International Development and American-advised privatization of the economies of the post-Soviet states, and
in the deregulation of the U.S financial system, including the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act.
At This Point the Ball is Passed to the Bush Team Republicans, while the Democrats Sit Back and Wait for 2008.
There's now a Treasury surplus to transfer to the wealthy, and the necessary deregulation for Wall Street empowerment is in
place. The Soviet era had ended and Russia is ended forever. The world is finally primed to be seized by the One Exceptional Power.
It's 2001, and we are standing on the threshold of the New American Century . Time to throw a flash-bang of chaos onto the world
stage and trigger the booming War Economy that will carry us directly to global control.
There's a rocky road ahead for Larry Summers. Summers introduces Epstein into the Harvard fold, but becomes reckless with
his newly-refined Neoliberalism and his opinions concerning "lady scholars."
Following the end of Clinton's term, Summers served as the 27th President of Harvard University from 2001 to 2006.
Summers resigned as Harvard's president in the wake of a no-confidence vote by Harvard faculty, which resulted in large part
from Summers's conflict with Cornel West, financial conflict of interest questions regarding his relationship with Andrei Shleifer,
and a 2005 speech in which he suggested that the under-representation of women in science and engineering could be due to a
"different availability of aptitude at the high end", and less to patterns of discrimination and socialization. Remarking upon
political correctness in institutions of higher education, Summers said in 2016:
Summers resigned as Harvard's president in the wake of a no-confidence vote by Harvard faculty, which resulted in large
part from Summers's conflict with Cornel West, financial conflict of interest questions regarding his relationship with
Andrei Shleifer, and a 2005 speech in which he suggested that the under-representation of women in science and engineering
There is a great deal of absurd political correctness. Now, I'm somebody who believes very strongly in diversity, who
resists racism in all of its many incarnations, who thinks that there is a great deal that's unjust in American society
that needs to be combated, but it seems to be that there is a kind of creeping totalitarianism in terms of what kind of
ideas are acceptable and are debatable on college campuses.
After his departure from Harvard, Summers cooled his jets on Wall Street, positioning himself to be called back into the game
when it was Team Democrat's turn in 2008.
Summers worked as a managing partner at the hedge fund D. E. Shaw & Co., and as a freelance speaker at other financial institutions,
including Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers. Summers rejoined public service during
the Obama administration, serving as the Director of the White House United States National Economic Council for President
Barack Obama from January 2009 until November 2010, where he emerged as a key economic decision-maker in the Obama administration's
response to the Great Recession.
Jeffery Epstein continued to weave himself into the fabric of government like a good psychopath would. He was by no means the
only one.
"... A secret plea bargain and non-prosecution agreement with the federal government is what happened. It shifted the public face to the Florida state court system with Epstein pleading to two state prostitution crimes, which implied, of course, that the complainants were prostitutes. The public is now aware that the result was Epstein sleeping at the county jail and then going to his office during the day, for 13 months. Registering as a sex offender has not curtailed his travel or daily activity. ..."
"... The whole nasty business disappeared from view and would have stayed hidden in its nicely wrapped package except that two civil lawsuits have pulled some of it into the light. ..."
"... With that background, we come to the recent fascinating events, in which Epstein was arrested, and the role of Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta in this whole rotten mess was revealed to some extent. He had been the U.S. Attorney for that part of Florida at that time ..."
"... There you have it: "... this case ... had input and vetting at multiple levels of the Department of Justice." The cat was out of the bag. It was a sad sight: Alex Acosta, after achieving two significant positions in the federal government, took a dive to be the fall guy. ..."
"... The non-prosecution agreement has signature dates from 24 September to 7 December 2007, and page 3 of Robert Josefsberg's lawsuit against Epstein confirms this. The Department of Justice is a bureaucracy, and even though a U.S. Attorney has significant authority and some independence, the Justice Department in Washington D.C. -- sometimes called "Main Justice" -- ultimately controls things. In the organizational chart, the U.S. Attorneys are under the Deputy Attorney General, the number two person [6] ..."
"... The U.S. Attorney General from 3 February 2005 to 17 September 2007 was Alberto Gonzales. Michael Mukasey was nominated on 17 September and became Attorney General on 8 November 2007 until Eric Holder was sworn in on 3 February 2009. ..."
"... The FBI Director from 4 September 2001 to 4 September 2013 was Robert Mueller. ..."
"... And from July 2008 into this year, the Justice Department has resisted the CVRA lawsuit in Florida. ..."
"... This material is presented here for viewing or downloading so that you can think for yourself. Mass media has reported next to nothing about the 11-year course of the Crime Victims' Rights Act lawsuit and the detail in the first 22 pages of the trial court's opinion, other than that the court found the government violated the CVRA.

"... Acosta says he acted in accordance with his superior's wishes at the DOJ. Plausible, but lets see some corroborating evidence. If he agreed to negotiate this NPA without getting his boss's orders in writing he is a remarkable fool. ..."
"... Arkancide? Epstein is linked with E Barak, and Nicole Junkermann, per flight logs. Presumably that is the intelligence link Acosta was babbling about. https://carbyne911.com/team/ ..."
"... Doubt if Bubba Bill was involved in any of Epstein's sexual shenanigans after being burnt by Lewinsky. Clinton always had the proverbial ability to "talk a dog off a gut wagon" and could most likely find an agreeable partner elsewhere. Might be wrong but doubt it. ..."
"... If I understand correctly, Epstein broke the agreement. Would it follow that the WTF!? immunity deal is now nixed? ..."
"... Crossing the Clinton cabal in any manner is seriously dangerous. The list of those who have and died mysteriously is very long. ..."
"... The sweetheart deal that Epstein received from Acosta and the DOJ seems rather unusual for the felony that is such a social taboo as you note. Not only did he get off extremely lightly but his co-conspirators were completely let off the hook. The way the children who were raped were also treated by the courts was also shameful. ..."
"... This case epitomizes the travesty of the current state of the rule of law. Sexual predators of children are typically thrown the book and quickly taken off the streets to serve a long sentence. Not only did that not happen but even worse he was allowed to continue his despicable behavior out in the open even when he was supposed to be serving his sentence. Clearly he had some powerful friends in the Bush administration, but even with these connections when such execrable behavior is shown repeatedly there were none with a conscience. A sad testament to the state of our justice system. ..."
"... The usual plea agreement requires the defendant to plead guilty to some federal criminal offense. The Epstein agreement did not require him to plead to a federal crime. It also did not require him to debrief or provide them with information. To the contrary, it required that the federal government do nothing to him or to other people who helped him or conspired with him to commit federal crimes! ..."
16 July 2019Alex Acosta let the cat out of the bag: the Justice Department knew all about the Jeffrey Epstein Florida
plea deal
A taboo in our culture that is also a crime is sexual contact with a child or young person -- usually less than 17 or 18 years
old -- by an adult or older person. An exception is sexual experimentation during the struggle of adolescence, when the persons are
no more than around two or three years apart in age, as long as there is consent. A greater age difference creates the crime often
called "statutory rape", in which a statute (a law passed by a legislature) says that legal consent for sexual contact cannot be
given by the underage person.
This taboo is a strong one, even more so than homicide, about which there are various levels and justifications, such as self-defense.
All over the country on a regular basis, underage sex crime cases are tried to a jury, even without medical or forensic evidence.
And with just one complainant and victim.
But then Jeffrey Epstein is named as a suspect in underage sex crimes in Palm Beach County, Florida, with not one complainant,
but with at least 20.
What was the local State Attorney, Barry Krischer, going to do? Apparently, not very much. Attention shifted to the federal U.S.
Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Alexander Acosta, and the FBI. Was a federal prosecution pursued? No. Nothing.
A secret plea bargain and non-prosecution agreement with the federal government is what happened. It shifted the public face
to the Florida state court system with Epstein pleading to two state prostitution crimes, which implied, of course, that the complainants
were prostitutes. The public is now aware that the result was Epstein sleeping at the county jail and then going to his office during
the day, for 13 months. Registering as a sex offender has not curtailed his travel or daily activity.
The whole nasty business disappeared from view and would have stayed hidden in its nicely wrapped package except that two
civil lawsuits have pulled some of it into the light.
On 7 July 2008, a case under the federal Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) was filed in the Southern District of Florida by lawyers
Paul Cassell, Bradley Edwards, and two others against the federal government, with case number 08-cv-80736 [1]. Around ten and a
half years later, on 21 February 2019, the trial court judge issued a 33-page opinion and order granting a request for partial summary
judgment by two victims, ruling that there was no genuine issue of material fact about the assertion that the government violated
the CVRA by failing properly to confer with the victims, and that therefore a contested trial on that issue is not necessary. The
opinion is worth reading, and the first 22 pages are a detailed statement of facts about the non-prosecution agreement and the activity
surrounding it by lawyers for the government and Epstein, giving an insight into what was going on. The beginning of the opinion
references four startling factual assertions made by the complainants in their request for summary judgment and which the federal
government admitted without qualification in its response [2]:
"1. Between about 1999 and 2007, Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused more than 30 minor girls, including Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2,
at his mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, located in the Southern District of Florida, and elsewhere in the United States and overseas.
"2. Because Epstein and his co-conspirators knowingly traveled in interstate and international commerce to sexually abuse Jane
Doe 1, Jane Doe 2, and other similarly situated victims, they committed violations of not only Florida law (see, e,g., Fla. Stat.
sections 794.05, 796.04, 796.045, 39.201 and 777.04), but also federal law, including repeated violations of 18 U.S.C. sections 1591,
2421, 2422, 2423, and 371).
"3. In addition to personally abusing his victims, Epstein also directed other persons to sexually abuse the girls. For example,
Nadia Marcinkova sexually abused Jane Doe 1 and other victims at the direction of Epstein.
"8. More generally, the FBI established that Epstein used paid employees to repeatedly find and bring minor girls to him. Epstein
worked in concert with others to obtain minor girls not only for his own sexual gratification, but also for the sexual gratification
of others."
The present court activity is to figure out a procedure to determine a remedy for the government's violation of the CVRA and to
establish a remedy.
On 17 May 2010, a lawsuit revealing more of Epstein's degenerate attitude and mentality was filed in federal court in the Southern
District of Florida, with case number 10-cv-21586. It was based on parts 7 and 8 of the plea bargain / non-prosecution agreement,
that--
"7. The United Sates shall provide Epstein's attorneys with a list of individuals whom it has identified as victims, as defined
in 18 U.S.C. section 2255, after Epstein has signed this agreement and been sentenced. Upon the execution of this agreement, the
United States, in consultation with and subject to the good faith approval of Epstein's counsel, shall select an attorney representative
for these persons, who shall be paid for by Epstein. Epstein's counsel may contact the indentified individuals through that representative.
"8. [In part] If any of the individuals referred to in paragraph (7), supra , elects to file suit pursuant to 18 U.S.C.
section 2255, Epstein will not contest the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida
over his person and/or the subject matter, and Epstein waives his right to contest liability and also waives his right to contest
damages up to an amount as agreed to between the identified individual and Epstein, so long as the identified individual elects to
proceed exclusively under 18 U.S.C. section 2255, and agrees to waive any other claim for damages, whether pursuant to state, federal,
or common law."
Title 18, U.S. Code, section 2255, creates the right for an underage person (a minor) to bring a civil lawsuit in federal court
for money for personal injury suffered as a victim of certain federal crimes. The victim can seek money for the actual harm suffered,
or the fixed amount of $150,000, plus attorney fees and litigation costs. [3].
The attorney representative selected to help the females who wanted to seek compensation by that route under the non-prosecution
agreement (NPA) was Robert Josefsberg, of the Podhurst & Orseck law firm in Miami, Florida, known to have experience in litigation.
Some number over 12 of the 34 females named by the U.S. Attorney's Office as complainants against Epstein sought compensation through
the representative.
However, although Epstein agreed in the NPA to pay the attorney representative and to not contest liability in the claims the
females made under 18 U.S.C. 2255, he not only breached the agreement by contesting liability in the cases, but also he paid only
a small part of what was owed to Josefsberg, and tried to stiff the representative by not paying over $2 million dollars due for
attorney fees and costs!
For over 20 months, Josefsberg tried unsuccessfully to get Epstein to pay him under the NPA, and finally sued Epstein for breach
of contract and breach of the implied doctrine of good faith and fair dealing. Attached to the lawsuit document was a copy of the
NPA. Here are the scandalous plea bargain / non-prosecution agreement and addendum, and the informative original petition brought
by the representative for some of the victimized females:
This produced an amusing turn of events, shown by the court clerk's docket sheet. Epstein quickly settled with the attorney representative
by 8 June 2010, only 22 days after the lawsuit was filed [4]. After all, he had breached the NPA and it could have been cancelled
(and should have been) and a prosecution started in Florida.
Picking apart the NPA is in itself an interesting exercise, but looking at the agreement as a whole, you can see that it is designed
to keep his sexually abusive conduct from being disclosed, both as to criminal charges -- he pled only to state prostitution offenses
-- and as to civil cases involving females who decided to seek compensation through the NPA's representative and 18 U.S.C. section
2255. In those civil cases, Epstein agreed to not challenge his liability, so no stories would be told in court; the only issue would
be the amount of money to be paid.
With that background, we come to the recent fascinating events, in which Epstein was arrested, and the role of Labor Secretary
Alexander Acosta in this whole rotten mess was revealed to some extent. He had been the U.S. Attorney for that part of Florida at
that time. The NPA on page 2 asserted that: "On the authority of R. Alexander Acosta, United States Attorney for the Southern
District of Florida, prosecution in this District for these offenses shall be deferred in favor of prosecution by the State of Florida,
provided that Epstein abides by the following conditions and the requirements of this Agreement set forth below".
Well, not exactly. When publicity heated up, fingers were pointed at Acosta with the usual hollering by some that he should resign.
This produced a pathetic press conference on Wednesday, 10 July, in which Acosta tried to justify what the materials presented above
reveal [5]. On Friday, 12 July, when president Trump went outside the White House to talk to the press before leaving on a trip,
Acosta went with him. At around 1 minute, 40 seconds into this short video excerpt, Acosta says:
"I have seen coverage of this case, that is over 12 years old, that had input and vetting at multiple levels of the Department
of Justice. And as I look forward, I do not think it is right and fair for this administration's labor department to have Epstein
as the focus, rather than the incredible economy that we have today. And so I called the president this morning. I told him that
I thought the right thing was to step aside...."
There you have it: "... this case ... had input and vetting at multiple levels of the Department of Justice." The cat
was out of the bag. It was a sad sight: Alex Acosta, after achieving two significant positions in the federal government, took a
dive to be the fall guy.
"Multiple levels" of "input" and "vetting" at the DOJ, you say? Who might that be?
The non-prosecution agreement has signature dates from 24 September to 7 December 2007, and page 3 of Robert Josefsberg's
lawsuit against Epstein confirms this. The Department of Justice is a bureaucracy, and even though a U.S. Attorney has significant
authority and some independence, the Justice Department in Washington D.C. -- sometimes called "Main Justice" -- ultimately controls
things. In the organizational chart, the U.S. Attorneys are under the Deputy Attorney General, the number two person [6]
The U.S. Attorney General from 3 February 2005 to 17 September 2007 was Alberto Gonzales. Michael Mukasey was nominated on
17 September and became Attorney General on 8 November 2007 until Eric Holder was sworn in on 3 February 2009.
The FBI Director from 4 September 2001 to 4 September 2013 was Robert Mueller.
More research is needed to identify persons in various positions in the Department of Justice from 2005 through at least 2010,
when Epstein breached the NPA by contesting liability and failing to pay attorney fees and costs, and had to be sued by Robert Josefsberg
and the Podhurst & Orseck law firm.
And from July 2008 into this year, the Justice Department has resisted the CVRA lawsuit in Florida.
The CVRA opinion on page 3 confirmed that by May 2007, the U.S. Attorney's Office had drafted a 53-page indictment and an 82-page
prosecution memorandum about federal sex crimes committed by Epstein. The opinion on pages 5-6 quotes a letter to Epstein's counsel
that the U.S. Attorney's office did not have the power to bind the Immigration service, but that they did not plan on bringing immigration
charges against two of Epstein's female co-conspirators.
The CVRA opinion on page 7 tells us that--
"On September 21, 2007, Palm Beach County State Attorney Barry Krischer wrote the line prosecutor [Assistant U.S. Attorney] about
the proposed agreement and added: 'Glad we could get this worked out for reasons I won't put in writing. After this is resolved I
would love to buy you a cup at Starbucks and have a conversation'."
This material is presented here for viewing or downloading so that you can think for yourself. Mass media has reported next
to nothing about the 11-year course of the Crime Victims' Rights Act lawsuit and the detail in the first 22 pages of the trial court's
opinion, other than that the court found the government violated the CVRA. I am not aware of one word reported about the 2010 lawsuit
brought by Robert Josefsberg against Epstein for breaching the non-prosecution agreement.
From this information, you can see the brazen lack of a basis for the extra protection put in the plea bargain / NPA on page 5,
that--
"In consideration of Epstein's agreement to plead guilty and to provide compensation in the manner described above, if Epstein
successfully fulfills all of the terms and conditions of this agreement, the United States also agrees that it will not institute
any criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators of Epstein, including but not limited to Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross,
Lesley Groff, or Nadia Marcinkova."
Jeffrey Epstein was being protected. The process and communications that accomplished it, and who did it, are not yet known.
[1] The Crime Victims' Rights Act, Title 18, United States Code, section 3771
[2] The request (motion) for partial summary judgment by the victims (Jane Doe 1 and 2) contained a list of what they claimed
were 157 undisputed material facts. The federal government filed a response which either admitted, or admitted with a qualification,
or denied the asserted facts. The numbered facts 1, 2, 3, and 8 were admitted.
I had hoped we would learn from today's hearings more regarding Epstein's source of wealth - and exactly how much it was. Plus
more info on his doctored passport. More about the money trail between him and various Florida officials.
Anyone new calling
the tip line - especially from during his time as a teacher at that prep school in NY? And more about the Dershowitz and Starr
involvement back 12 years ago.
Unfortunately the food fight between Trump and the four frosh sucked all the air out of the media.
Came across this site with the court documents .The FBI travelled to Australia in 2011 and interviewed ms Roberts at the american
consulate in Sydney.9 years ago then in 2015 she sued Epstein and maxwell. Only now in 2019 did Epstein fly back from Paris knowing
he was going to be arrested.
Some of those girls were collecting info for him and getting paid. The whole thing stinks time
to call in the plumbers.
Many things are disposed of by plea Bargaining. With high profile crimes, it is always difficult to know if you did the right
thing. Here, it is fairly obvious it wasn't. Acosta is a Harvard College/HLS, a very able and connected guy and his error here
has damaged his life.
The part that I haven't seen being reported or discussed:
"The federal non-prosecution agreement Epstein's legal team negotiated with the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District
of Florida immunized all named and unnamed "potential co-conspirators" in Epstein's child trafficking network, which includes
those who allegedly procured minors for Epstein and also any powerbrokers who may have molested them."
Thanks for the link to the NPA I didn't realize it was in the public domain, it is an astonishing read. I'm not familiar with
NPA's (having never been party to one!) so forgive me if the following questions are uninformed:
To what extent are NPA's legally binding upon the USG, are there circumstances where a court can set one aside for reasons
other than breach of contract?
The NPA appears to try and indemnify Epstein and both known and unknown co-conspirators (Ghislaine Maxwell?) in both the offenses
prosecuted and any other offenses subject to the joint USAO/FBI investigation . In fact on page 5 the indemnity given uses
the wording "the [US] also agrees it will not institute any criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators
of Epstein included but not limited to.." (my emphasis) i.e. scope here appears to be unlimited. This cannot be legally enforceable
surely?
I thought NPA's were used to go after people further up the food chain. This one seems to have given carte blanche immunity
to all involved at every level. I'm astonished Acosta had the authority, merely with "consultation" within DOJ to do this. This
is a travesty and is starting to make FISA abuse look like chicken feed.
Epstein's NPA was limited to the Florida district of federal courts, hence another branch of the federal courts, the Southern
District of New York, was free to re-open the issue..and did.
Acosta says he acted in accordance with his superior's wishes at the DOJ. Plausible, but lets see some corroborating evidence.
If he agreed to negotiate this NPA without getting his boss's orders in writing he is a remarkable fool.
Was Acosta making an "error"? Looks to me he was a fully paid up member of the Swamp, doing what swampians do and he will no doubt
settle back into a Swamp law firm or Professorship somewhere. Weep not for him.
Arkancide? Epstein is linked with E Barak, and Nicole Junkermann, per flight logs. Presumably that is the intelligence link
Acosta was babbling about. https://carbyne911.com/team/
yes. I con't see him living much longer. On Morning joe today, Joe and his imbecile consort went on at length about a party
in 1992 at Mar A Lago for a bunch of NFL cheerleaders. Trump, Epstein and other me stood around ogling the ladies. So what! Not
a word was said about the absent Bill Clinton.
Doubt if Bubba Bill was involved in any of Epstein's sexual shenanigans after being burnt by Lewinsky. Clinton always had
the proverbial ability to "talk a dog off a gut wagon" and could most likely find an agreeable partner elsewhere. Might be wrong
but doubt it.
Ogling NFL cheerleaders, big deal. That seemed pretty normal to me. I'm waiting for more to come out about the 1992 private party
at Mar a Lago with Trump, Epstein and 28 calendar girls. I get the feeling Trump is going tweet crazy right now primarily to change
the subject. With Trump, Clinton, the DOJ enablers who protected Epstein and probably a host of others, Epstein is bound to be
whacked as you and walrus said.
Yes, the MSM are predictably silent about Bill Clinton and other leftists who are/were buddies with Epstein. I guess with all
of his money, he could murder someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue and...
If I understand correctly, Epstein broke the agreement. Would it follow that the WTF!? immunity deal is now nixed?
What a rotten underbelly oozes out. This foul beast needs to be wrestled into the light. Where is the people's champion?
There must be some good people in there somewhere.
The sweetheart deal that Epstein received from Acosta and the DOJ seems rather unusual for the felony that is such a social
taboo as you note. Not only did he get off extremely lightly but his co-conspirators were completely let off the hook. The way
the children who were raped were also treated by the courts was also shameful.
This case epitomizes the travesty of the current state of the rule of law. Sexual predators of children are typically thrown
the book and quickly taken off the streets to serve a long sentence. Not only did that not happen but even worse he was allowed
to continue his despicable behavior out in the open even when he was supposed to be serving his sentence. Clearly he had some
powerful friends in the Bush administration, but even with these connections when such execrable behavior is shown repeatedly
there were none with a conscience. A sad testament to the state of our justice system.
Do you think the current case will also just be another white wash or do you think the DOJ will pursue the investigation with
vigor to get to the bottom of his finances and all the other sexual predators of children in his orbit?
You are perceptive about the Epstein plea bargain / non-prosecution agreement (NPA). The one for Epstein is the complete opposite
of what happens in federal criminal cases. Yes, agreements between the Justice Department and defendants are often used "to go
after people further up the food chain". There will be a plea bargain with a cooperation section in it. If cooperation is not
part of the arrangement, that section is left out.
They have a standard form they use for plea bargains, and some sections may be in or out of it depending on the situation.
Classic examples are those that were used by "special counsel" Robert Mueller when he went around putting the squeeze on people.
Here is the agreement between the Mueller group and Richard Gates, who was around Paul Manafort during the Trump campaign--
The usual plea agreement requires the defendant to plead guilty to some federal criminal offense. The Epstein agreement
did not require him to plead to a federal crime. It also did not require him to debrief or provide them with information. To the
contrary, it required that the federal government do nothing to him or to other people who helped him or conspired with him to
commit federal crimes!
I'm not a Trump supporter, but you have to say this for Trump: he banned Jeffery Epstein from his properties and made him PNG
when Trump had complaints about the man's conduct on site.

Feb 19, 2017 1:54 PM Drumpf=The regressive liberal crybaby callsign
I don't use Social Media myself, but near the end of the 2016 presidential campaign, I
gradually began seeing more and more Trump supporters referring to something called
"Pizzagate," a burgeoning sexual scandal that they claimed would bring down Hillary Clinton and
many of the top leaders of her party, with the chatter actually increasing after Trump was
elected. As near as I could tell, the whole bizarre theory had grown up on the far-right fringe
of the Internet, with the utterly fantastical plot having something to do with stolen secret
emails, DC pizza parlors, and a ring of pedophiles situated near the top of the Democratic
Party. But given all the other strange and unlikely things I'd gradually discovered about our
history, it didn't seem like something I could necessarily dismiss out of hand.
At the beginning of December, a right-wing blogger produced a lengthy exposition of the
Pizzagate charges, which finally gave me some understanding of what was actually under
discussion, and I soon made arrangements to republish his article. It quickly attracted a great
deal of interest, and some websites pointed to it as the best single introduction to the
scandal for a general audience.
Pizzagate Aedon
Cassiel • December 2, 2016 • 3,100 Words
A couple of weeks later, I republished an additional article by the same writer, describing
a long list of previous pedophilia scandals that had occurred in elite American and European
political circles. Although many of these seemed to be solidly documented, nearly all of them
had received minimal coverage by our mainstream media outlets. And if such political pedophile
rings had existed in the relatively recent past, was it so totally implausible that there might
be another one simmering beneath the surface of today's Washington DC?
Those interested in the details of the Pizzagate Hypothesis are advised to read these
articles, especially the first one, but I might as well provide a brief summary.
John Podesta had been a longtime fixture in DC political circles, becoming chief of staff
to President Bill Clinton in 1998, and afterward remaining one of the most powerful figures in
the Democratic Party establishment. While serving as as chairman of Hillary Clinton's 2016
presidential campaign, his apparent carelessness with the password security of his Gmail
account allowed it to easily be hacked, and tens of thousands of his personal emails were soon
published on WikiLeaks. A swarm of young anti-Clinton activists began scouring this
treasure-trove of semi-confidential information, seeking evidence of mundane bribery and
corruption, but instead they came across some quite odd exchanges, seemingly written in coded
language.
Now use of coded language in a supposedly secure private email account raises all sorts
of natural suspicions regarding what might have been under discussion, with the most likely
possibilities being illegal drugs or sex. But most of the references didn't seem to fit the
former category, and in our remarkably libertine era, in which political candidates compete for
the right to be Grand Marshal at an annual Gay Pride Parade, one of the few sexual activities
still discussed only in whispers would seem to be pedophilia, with some of the very strange
remarks possibly hinting at this.
The researchers also soon discovered that his brother Tony Podesta, one of the wealthiest
and most successful lobbyists in DC, had extremely odd taste in art. Major items of his very
extensive personal collection seemed to represent tortured or murdered bodies, and one of his
favorite artists was best known for paintings depicting young children being held captive,
lying dead, or suffering under severe distress. Such peculiar artwork obviously isn't
illegal, but it might naturally arouse some suspicions. And oddly enough, arch-Democrat Podesta
had long been a close personal friend of former Republican Speaker and convicted child-molester
Dennis Hastert, welcoming him back into DC society after his release from prison.
Furthermore, some of the rather suspiciously-worded Podesta emails referred to events
held at a local DC pizza parlor, greatly favored by the Democratic Party elite, whose owner was
the gay former boyfriend of David Brock, a leading Democratic activist. The public Instagram
account of that pizza-entrepreneur apparently contained numerous images of young children,
sometimes tied or bound, with those images frequently labeled by hashtags using the traditional
gay slang for underage sexual targets . Some photos showed the fellow wearing a tee-shirt
bearing the statement "I Love Children" in French, and by a very odd coincidence, his possibly
assumed name was phonetically identical to that very same French phrase, thus proclaiming to
the world that he was "a lover of children." Closely connected Instagram accounts also
included pictures of young children, sometimes shown amid piles of high-value currency, with
queries about how much those particular children might be worth. None of this seemed illegal,
but surely any reasonable person would regard the material as extremely suspicious.
DC is sometimes described as "Powertown," being the seat of the individuals who make
America's laws and govern our society, with local political journalists being closely attuned
to the relative status of such individuals. And oddly enough, GQ Magazine had ranked that
gay pizza parlor owner with a strange focus on young children as being one of the 50 most
powerful people in our national capital, placing him far ahead of many Cabinet members,
Senators, Congressional Chairmen, Supreme Court justices, and top lobbyists. Was his pizza
really that delicious?
These few paragraphs provide merely a sliver of the large quantity of highly-suspicious
material surrounding various powerful figures at the apex of the DC political world. A vast
cloud of billowing smoke is certainly no proof of any fire, but only a fool would completely
ignore it without attempting further investigation.
I usually regard videos as a poor means of imparting serious information, far less effective
and meaningful than the simple printed word. But the overwhelming bulk of the evidence
supporting the Pizzagate Hypothesis consists of visual images and screen shots, and these are
naturally suited to a video presentation.
Some of the best summaries of the Pizzagate case were produced by a young British
YouTuber named Tara McCarthy, whose work was published under the name of "Reality Calls," and
her videos were viewed hundreds of thousands of times. Although her channel was eventually
banned and her videos purged, copies were later reloaded to other accounts, both on YouTube and
BitChute. Some of the evidence she presents seemed rather innocuous or speculative to me and
other elements were probably based upon her unfamiliarity with American society and culture.
But a great deal of extremely suspicious material remains, and I would suggest that people
watch the videos and decide for themselves.
Around the same time that I first became familiar with the details of the Pizzagate
controversy, the topic also started reaching the pages of my morning newspapers, but in an
rather strange manner. Political stories began giving a sentence or two to the "Pizzagate
hoax," describing it as a ridiculous right-wing "conspiracy theory" but excluding all relevant
details. I had an eery feeling that some unseen hand had suddenly flipped a switch causing the
entire mainstream media to begin displaying identical signs declaring "Pizzagate Is False --
Nothing To See There!" in brightly flashing neon. I couldn't recall any previous example of
such a strange media reaction to some obscure Internet controversy.
Articles in the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times also suddenly
appeared denouncing the entirety of the alternative media -- Left, Right, and Libertarian --
as
"fake news" websites promoting Russian propaganda , while urging that their content be
blocked by all patriotic Internet giants such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google. Prior to that
moment, I'd never even heard the term "fake news" but suddenly it was ubiquitous across the
media, once again almost as if some unseen hand had suddenly flipped a switch.
I naturally began to wonder whether the timing of these two strange developments was
entirely coincidental. Perhaps Pizzagate was indeed true and struck so deeply at the core of
our hugely corrupted political system that the media efforts to suppress it were approaching
the point of hysteria.
Not long afterward, Tara McCarthy's detailed Pizzagate videos were purged from YouTube. This
was among the very first instances of video content being banned despite fully conforming to
all existing YouTube guidelines, another deeply suspicious development.
I also noticed that mere mention of Pizzagate had become politically lethal. Donald Trump
had selected Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, as his
National Security Advisor, and Flynn's son served as the latter's chief of staff. The younger
Flynn happened to Tweet out a couple of links to Pizzagate stories, pointing out that the
accusations hadn't yet been actually investigated let alone disproven, and very soon afterward,
he was
purged from the Trump transition team, foreshadowing his father's fall a few weeks later.
It seemed astonishing to me that a few simple Tweets about an Internet controversy could have
such huge real-life impact near the top of our government.
The media continued its uniform drumbeat of "Pizzagate Has Been Disproven!" but we were
never told how or by whom, and I was not the only individual to notice the hollowness of such
denunciations. An award-winning investigative journalist named Ben Swann at a CBS station in
Atlanta broadcast a short television segment summarizing the Pizzagate controversy and noting
that contrary to widespread media claims, Pizzagate had neither been investigated nor debunked.
Swann was almost immediately purged by CBS but a copy of his television segment remains
available for viewing on the Internet.
There is an old wartime proverb that enemy flak is always heaviest over the most important
target, and the remarkably ferocious wave of attacks and censorship against anyone broaching
the subject of Pizzagate seems to raise obvious dark suspicions. Indeed, the simultaneous waves
of attacks against all alternative media outlets as "Russian propaganda outlets" laid the basis
for the continuing regime of Social Media censorship that has become a central aspect of
today's world.
Pizzagate may or may not turn out to be true, but the ongoing Internet crackdown has
similarly engulfed topics of a somewhat similar nature but with vastly stronger documentation.
Although I don't use Twitter myself, I encountered the obvious implications of this new
censorship policy following McCain's death last August. The senator had died on a Saturday
afternoon, and readership of Sydney Schanberg's long 2008 expose quickly exploded, with
numerous individuals Tweeting out the story and a large fraction of our incoming traffic
therefore coming from Twitter. This continued until the following morning, at which point the
huge flood of Tweets continued to grow, but all incoming Twitter traffic suddenly and
permanently vanished, presumably because "shadow banning" had rendered those Tweets invisible.
My own article on McCain's very doubtful war record simultaneously suffered the same fate, as
did numerous other articles of a controversial nature that we published later that same
week.
Perhaps that censorship decision was made by some ignorant young intern at Twitter, casually
choosing to ban as "hate speech" or "fake news" a massively-documented 8,400 word expose by one
of America's most distinguished journalists, a Pulitzer-prize winning former top editor at
The New York Times .
Or perhaps certain political-puppeteers who had spent decades controlling that late Arizona
senator sought to ensure that their political puppet-strings remained invisible even after his
death.
You better be tough to watch this, not for women unless you are like me who will watch it
and spread it.
Warning: you can't unwatch this and will need to claim your space after and pray.
This IS John Podesta. This IS what I said was coming to him last summer/fall.
What did I say about this coming eclipse? It is in Pisces, water, water pourer, dams, leaks, secrets and film. Note the color purple which is the Pisces color.

finally does break and people are getting led away in handcuffs on national TV, a large majority
of the population will still be in full blown denial... finding any and every reason to somehow
blame the scandal on Trump/Russia/The Flying Spaghetti Monster
"... I guarantee you, they want Epstein gone. There is no doubt about that. I don't know why the Bureau of Prisons put Epstein in a jail cell with a cop that killed four people and buried them in his back yard. ..."
"... Epstein should have been in solitary confinement under watch. So, whoever made that decision, it was a complete error in judgment, if not intentional. That should not have happened in the first place ..."
"... U.S. Attorney (and former Labor Secretary) Alexander Acosta would not have said this if it were not true. It is true. There are intelligence connections. Is this a blackmail operation? We know Epstein has a 'black book.' We know Epstein probably has video of massages by young girls of high profile people, including politicians... ..."
"... There are going to be some big names that are going to be connected to Epstein and his pedophile child trafficking ring. There is no question about it. ..."
Former CIA Officer and whistleblower Kevin Shipp says there are big stories with
big
implications for America that are unfolding now.
One of the biggest earthquakes that is going off will be the high ranking Deep State elite
surrounding convicted sex offender Jeffery Epstein.
Shipp says,
"Oh my goodness gracious, the Deep State is darn well scared, and some of its political top
participants, I guarantee you, they want Epstein gone. There is no doubt about that. I don't know
why the Bureau of Prisons put Epstein in a jail cell with a cop that killed four people and buried
them in his back yard.
Epstein should have been in solitary confinement under watch. So, whoever made that decision, it
was a complete error in judgment, if not intentional. That should not have happened in the first
place."
Shipp goes on to point out, "
It looks pretty clear to me that the Deep State intelligence
Shadow government was involved,
and it gets worse..."
"
Ghislaine Maxwell, who was Epstein's alleged recruiter for young girls, was the
daughter of Robert Maxwell, (Correction: Shipp said John by mistake) who was a known Mossad Agent.
He bilked pension funds to cover losses in his business... He was
found dead floating
next to his yacht from an alleged heart attack. So, there are some strange connections to the Deep
State.
U.S. Attorney (and former Labor Secretary) Alexander Acosta would not have said
this if it were not true. It is true. There are intelligence connections.
Is this a
blackmail operation? We know Epstein has a 'black book.' We know Epstein probably has video of
massages by young girls of high profile people, including politicians...
. There are going to be some big names that are going to be connected to Epstein and his
pedophile child trafficking ring. There is no question about it."
Another huge story unfolding is the investigation into the "hoax" and "witch hunt" of
Russian collusion
with President Trump that has now been totally disproven. The real story is
how traitors in the U.S. government made up a crimes to frame the President, his campaign and his
Administration.
People high up in the Obama Administration committed massive crimes, only to
fail badly in removing Trump from office
. Kevin Shipp says,
...for President Trump, "This is a fight to the death. . . . Trump has to win. . . .
There is no question about it.
They want Donald Trump gone anyway that they can. We know
the Shadow Government, including the CIA, and I studied this in detail, were responsible for the
assassination of JFK using the Mafia, and that's how far they will go.
You are talking
trillions of dollars, trillions of dollars they could lose if the President isn't in their pocket
.
. . . They want him dead, and he is under serious risk right now. . . . He has got to push this
forward. He has to win for the Constitution and for his family that might be assassinated."
Yet another big risk, says Shipp, is
the global economic system suffering a financial
calamity.
This includes the U.S. Shipp contends,
"
Russia and China are stocking up on gold . . . as they agree to stop using the U.S.
dollar and go to the yuan and ruble, which means they will stop recognizing the U.S. dollar.
The dollar will lose its value because of that. We have a huge debt, and by 2025, our
deficit will be $30 trillion. It is impossible to pay that off. The global deficit is $245
trillion. This thing has got to burst, and it's going to burst...
Donald Trump has come out against the Deep State and Shadow Government in ways I could
only dream of. I am a Trump supporter, but what he has got on his hands is a coming catastrophe.
You cannot stop the collapse caused by the deficit
...
Trump will take some significant action. This is a national security issue, and he can step in
and make some changes.
This is a huge catastrophe, and Americans are not aware of what is
coming . . . and are not ready for a financial calamity.

The Epstein conspiracy grows worse.
One of the victims filed a federal lawsuit. Once filed, this is public record. The only
redactions allowed are social security numbers and the like.
When the Miami Herald went to obtain the Motion for Summary Judgment, it was completely
redacted. 137 pages of blacked out paragraphs.
A motion for summary judgment is basically saying there are no material issues in dispute-
nothing to litigate. This document would contain all relevant facts about the case. This type of redaction is unheard, unprecedented- appalling.
The only reason the Herald is in pursuit ( and any other MSM) is because they believed it
would destroy Trump.
It's now on appeal. If the redactions stand, we should riot in the street. We knew justice
was bought, but pedophilia usually will stir up some dregs of bureaucratic slugs to
action.
And with a parallel to McCain, if Clinton slithers out of this- with over 27 flights on
the Lolita Express- he is officially the most untouchable man in history.
Once you start researching the Epstein matter - not for the lurid details - but the
unprecedented, jaw dropping preferential treatment of an actual human sex trafficker ( not
this fake #metoo hysteria) – all hope is lost.
Note the strange silence from Hollywood and the elites regarding Epstein's victims, when
they were wearing hair shirts over Christine Fords 30 year old accusation.
A wealthy smug scold, who looks like an exploded can of rotten biscuit dough had them
weeping on camera.
Dozens of little girls – all poor and from fatherless backgrounds marred by parental
drug abuse, suicides and physical abuse- selected and sexually devastated by Epstein- not a
word.
"... top national figures merely being attractive front-men selected for their popular appeal and their political malleability, a development that may eventually have dire consequences for the nations they lead. As an extreme example, a drunken Boris Yeltsin freely allowed the looting of Russia's entire national wealth by the handful of oligarchs who pulled his strings, and the result was the total impoverishment of the Russian people and a demographic collapse almost unprecedented in modern peacetime history. ..."
"... An obvious problem with installing puppet rulers is the risk that they will attempt to cut their strings, much like Putin soon outmaneuvered and exiled his oligarch patron Boris Berezovsky. One means of minimizing such risk is to select puppets who are so deeply compromised that they can never break free, knowing that the political self-destruct charges buried deep within their pasts could easily be triggered if they sought independence. ..."
"... I have sometimes joked with my friends that perhaps the best career move for an ambitious young politician would be to secretly commit some monstrous crime and then make sure that the hard evidence of his guilt ended up in the hands of certain powerful people, thereby assuring his rapid political rise. ..."
"... In The Dark Side of Camelot , famed investigative reporter Seymour Hersh claimed that secret blackmail evidence of JFK's extra-marital affairs probably played a crucial role in having his administration overrule the unanimous verdict of all top Pentagon advisors and award the largest military procurement contract in U.S. history to General Dynamics instead of Boeing, thereby saving the former company from likely bankruptcy and its major organized-crime shareholders from devastating financial losses. Hersh also suggests that a similar factor likely explains JFK's last-minute reversal in the choice of his Vice President, a decision that landed Lyndon Johnson on the 1960 ticket and placed him in the White House after Kennedy's 1963 assassination. ..."
"... Similar rumors swirl around events much farther back in history as well, sometimes with enormous consequences. Well-placed contemporary sources have claimed that Samuel Untermyer, a wealthy Jewish lawyer, purchased the secret correspondence between Woodrow Wilson and his longtime mistress, and that the existence of that powerful leverage may have been an important factor behind Wilson's astonishingly rapid rise from president of Princeton in 1910 to governor of New Jersey in 1911 to president of the United States in 1912. ..."
"... Without naming any names, since 2001 it has been difficult to avoid noticing that one of the most zealous and committed supporters of the Neocon party-line on all Middle Eastern foreign policy matters has been a leading Republican senator from one of the most socially-conservative Southern states, a man whose rumored personal inclinations have long circulated on the Internet. The strikingly-sudden reversal of this individual on a major policy question certainly supports these suspicions. There have also been several other such examples involving prominent Republicans. ..."
"... There are lurid rumors that the Syndicate possessed secret photos of Hoover wearing a dress and high-heels, but just a few years ago Rep. Mike Honda of San Jose desperately placed his eight-year-old transgendered grand-daughter front-and-center in his unsuccessful attempt to win reelection. ..."
"... There seems to be a great deal of evidence that powerful organizations and individuals have successfully managed to suppress credible accusations of that practice for very long periods of time if no group with substantial media influence chose to target the offenders for unmasking. ..."
"... There is also the intriguing example of Dennis Hastert. As the longest serving Republican Speaker of the House in U.S. history, holding office during 1999-2007, Hastert was third in line to the Presidency and even ranked as our nation's top Republican elected official during some of that period. Based upon my newspaper readings, he had always struck me as a rather bland and ordinary individual, with journalists sometimes even strongly hinting at his mediocrity, so that I occasionally wondered just how someone so unimpressive could have risen to such extremely high national office. ..."
"... During the summer of 2007, the Internet was ablaze with claims that Sen. John Edwards, a runner-up in the 2004 Democratic presidential primaries, had just fathered a child with his mistress, and those reports were backed by seemingly-credible visual evidence, including photos showing the married senator holding his new-born baby. Yet as the days and even the weeks went by, not a whiff of this salacious scandal ever reached the pages of any of my morning newspapers or the rest of the mainstream media although it was a top conversation topic everywhere else. ..."
"... Probably one reason I paid so little attention to the topic was the exceptionally lurid nature of the claims being made. Epstein was supposedly an enormously wealthy Wall Street financier of rather mysterious personal background and source of funds, who owned a private island and an immense New York City mansion, both regularly stocked with harems of underage girls provided for sexual purposes. He allegedly hobnobbed on a regular basis with Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Harvard's Alan Dershowitz, and numerous other figures in the international elite, as well as a gaggle of ordinary billionaires, frequently transporting those individuals on his personal jet known as "the Lolita Express" for the role it played in facilitating illegal secret orgies with young girls. When right-wing bloggers on obscure websites claimed that former President Clinton and the British Royals were being sexually serviced by the underage girls of a James Bond super-villain brought to life, I just assumed those accusations were the wildest sort of Internet exaggeration. ..."
"... The author of a long 2003 Epstein profile that had appeared in Vanity Fair explained that she had personally spoken to some of his victims and included their highly-credible accounts in her article, but that those portions had been stricken and removed by her timorous editors. ..."
"... As presented by these media outlets, Epstein's personal rise also seemed rather inexplicable unless he had benefited from some powerful network or similar organization. Lacking any college degree or credentials, he had somehow gotten a job teaching at one of New York City's most elite prep schools, then quickly jumped to working at a top investment bank, rising to partner with astonishing speed until he was fired a few years later for illegal activity. Despite such a scanty and doubtful record, he was soon managing money for some of America's wealthiest individuals, and keeping so much of it for himself that he was regularly described as a billionaire. According to newspaper accounts, his great specialty was "making connections for people." ..."
"... Obviously, Epstein was a ruthlessly opportunistic financial hustler. But extremely wealthy individuals must surely be surrounded by great swarms of ruthlessly opportunistic financial hustlers, and why would he have been so much more successful than all those others? Perhaps a clue comes from the offhand remark of Epstein's now-disgraced prosecutor, saying that he had been told to go very easy on the sex-trafficker because he "belonged to intelligence." The vague phrasing of that statement raises questions about whether the intelligence service may not have been one controlled by the U.S. government. ..."
"... Philip Giraldi, a highly-regarded former CIA officer, put things very plainly when he suggested that Epstein had probably been working for the Israeli Mossad, operating "honey traps" to obtain blackmail information on all the wealthy and powerful individuals whom he regularly plied with underage girls. Indeed, longtime Canadian journalist Eric Margolis recounted his early 1990s visit to Epstein's enormous NYC mansion, in which he had barely crossed the threshold before he was offered an "intimate massage" by one of the many young girls there, presumably in a bedroom well-stocked with hidden cameras. ..."
"... Given my personal lack of interest in the Epstein case, then or now, perhaps a few of these details may be garbled, but it seems undeniable that he was exactly the sort of remarkable renegade often faced by Agent 007 in the movies, and the true facts will presumably come out at his trial. ..."
"... John Podesta had been a longtime fixture in DC political circles, becoming chief of staff to President Bill Clinton in 1998, and afterward remaining one of the most powerful figures in the Democratic Party establishment. While serving as as chairman of Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, his apparent carelessness with the password security of his Gmail account allowed it to easily be hacked, and tens of thousands of his personal emails were soon published on WikiLeaks. A swarm of young anti-Clinton activists began scouring this treasure-trove of semi-confidential information, seeking evidence of mundane bribery and corruption, but instead they came across some quite odd exchanges, seemingly written in coded language. ..."
"... Now use of coded language in a supposedly secure private email account raises all sorts of natural suspicions regarding what might have been under discussion, with the most likely possibilities being illegal drugs or sex. But most of the references didn't seem to fit the former category, and in our remarkably libertine era, in which political candidates compete for the right to be Grand Marshal at an annual Gay Pride Parade, one of the few sexual activities still discussed only in whispers would seem to be pedophilia, with some of the very strange remarks possibly hinting at this. ..."
"... The researchers also soon discovered that his brother Tony Podesta, one of the wealthiest and most successful lobbyists in DC, had extremely odd taste in art. Major items of his very extensive personal collection seemed to represent tortured or murdered bodies, and one of his favorite artists was best known for paintings depicting young children being held captive, lying dead, or suffering under severe distress. ..."
"... Furthermore, some of the rather suspiciously-worded Podesta emails referred to events held at a local DC pizza parlor, greatly favored by the Democratic Party elite, whose owner was the gay former boyfriend of David Brock, a leading Democratic activist. The public Instagram account of that pizza-entrepreneur apparently contained numerous images of young children, sometimes tied or bound, with those images frequently labeled by hashtags using the traditional gay slang for underage sexual targets ..."
"... Closely connected Instagram accounts also included pictures of young children, sometimes shown amid piles of high-value currency, with queries about how much those particular children might be worth. None of this seemed illegal, but surely any reasonable person would regard the material as extremely suspicious. ..."
"... oddly enough, GQ Magazine had ranked that gay pizza parlor owner with a strange focus on young children as being one of the 50 most powerful people in our national capital, placing him far ahead of many Cabinet members, Senators, Congressional Chairmen, Supreme Court justices, and top lobbyists. Was his pizza really that delicious? ..."
"... Some of the best summaries of the Pizzagate case were produced by a young British YouTuber named Tara McCarthy, whose work was published under the name of "Reality Calls," and her videos were viewed hundreds of thousands of times. Although her channel was eventually banned and her videos purged, copies were later reloaded to other accounts, both on YouTube and BitChute. Some of the evidence she presents seemed rather innocuous or speculative to me and other elements were probably based upon her unfamiliarity with American society and culture. But a great deal of extremely suspicious material remains, and I would suggest that people watch the videos and decide for themselves. ..."
...The Arizona senator had traded on his national reputation as our best-known former POW to
bury the story of those abandoned prisoners, permitting America's political establishment to
escape serious embarrassment. As a result, Sen. McCain earned the lush rewards of our generous
ruling elites, much like his own father Admiral John S. McCain, Sr., who had led the cover-up
of the deliberate
1967 Israeli attack on the U.S.S. Liberty , which killed or wounded over 200 American
servicemen.
As publisher of The American Conservative , I ran Schanberg's remarkable piece as a cover
story, and across several websites over the years it has surely been read many hundreds of
thousands of times, including a huge spike around the time of McCain's death. I therefore find
it rather difficult to believe that the many journalists investigating McCain's background
might have remained unaware of this material. Yet no hints of these facts were provided in any
of the articles appearing in any remotely prominent media outlets as can be seen by searching
for web pages containing "McCain and Schanberg" dated around the time of the Senator's
passing.
Schanberg's journalistic stature had hardly been forgotten by his former colleagues. Upon
his death a couple of years ago, the Times ran a very long and
glowing obituary , and a few months later I attended the memorial tribute to his life and
career held at the New York Times headquarters building, which more than two hundred
prominent journalists mostly from his own generation, including those of the highest rank.
Times Publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr. gave a speech describing how as a young man he
had always so greatly admired Schanberg and had been mortified by the unfortunate circumstances
of his departure from the family's newspaper. Former Executive Editor Joseph Lelyveld recounted
the many years he had worked closely with the man he had long considered his closest friend and
colleague, someone whom he almost seemed to regard as his older brother. But during the two
hours of praise and remembrance scarcely a single word was uttered in public about the gigantic
story that had occupied the last two decades of Schanberg's celebrated career.
This same blanket of media silence also enveloped the very serious accusations regarding
McCain's own Vietnam War record. A few years ago, I drew upon the Times and other fully
mainstream sources to strongly
suggest that McCain's stories of his torture as a POW were probably fictional, invented to
serve as a cover and an excuse for the very real record of his wartime collaboration with his
Communist captors. Indeed, at the time our American media reported his activities as one of the
leading propagandists of our North Vietnamese foes, but these facts were later flushed down the
memory-hole. McCain's father then ranked as one of America's top military officers, and it
seems likely that his personal political intervention ensured that the official narrative of
his son's wartime record was transmuted from traitor to war-hero, thereby allowing the younger
McCain to later embark upon his celebrated political career.
The story of the abandoned Vietnam POWs and McCain's own Communist propaganda broadcasts
hardly exhaust the catalog of the major skeletons in the late Senator's closet. McCain was
regularly described by reporters as being remarkably hot-headed and having a violent temper,
but the national press left it to the alternative media to investigate the real-life
implications of those rather suggestive phrases.
In a September 1, 2008 Counterpunch expose later published online ,
Alexander Cockburn reported that interviews with two emergency room physicians in Phoenix
revealed that around the time that McCain was sucked into the political maelstrom of the
Keating Five Scandal, his wife Cindy was admitted to her local hospital suffering from a black
eye, facial bruises, and scratches consistent with physical violence, and this same situation
occurred two additional times over the next few years. Cockburn also noted several other highly
suspicious marital incidents during the years that followed, including the Senator's wife
appearing with a bandaged wrist and her arm in a sling not long after she joined her husband on
the 2008 campaign trail, an injury reported by our strangely incurious political journalists as
being due to "excessive hand-shaking." It's an odd situation when a tiny leftist newsletter can
easily uncover facts that so totally eluded the vast resources of our entire national press
corps. If there were credible reports that Melania Trump had been repeatedly admitted to local
emergency rooms suffering from black eyes and facial bruises, would our corporate media have
remained so uninterested in any further investigation?
McCain had first won his Arizona Congressional seat in 1982, not long after he moved into
the state, with his campaign bankrolled by his father-in-law's beer-distributorship fortune,
and that inheritance eventually elevated the McCain household into one of the wealthiest in the
Senate. But although the Senator spent the next quarter-century in public life, even nearly
upsetting George W. Bush for the 2000 Republican presidential nomination, only in late 2008 did
I
learn from the Times that the Phoenix beer-monopoly in question, then valued at
around $200 million, had accrued to a man whose lifelong business partner Kemper Marley had
long been deeply linked to organized crime . Indeed, close associates of that latter
individual had been
convicted by a jury of the car-bomb assassination of a Phoenix investigative crime reporter
just a few years before McCain's sudden triumphal entrance into Arizona politics. Perhaps such
guilt-by-association is improper, but would our national press-corps have remained silent if
the personal fortune of our current president were only a step or two removed from the car-bomb
assassins of a nosy journalist who died while investigating mobsters?
As I gradually became aware of these enormities casually hidden in McCain's background, my
initial reaction was disbelief that someone whose record was so deeply tarnished in so many
different ways could ever have reached such a pinnacle of American political power. But as the
media continued to avert its eyes from these newly revealed facts, even those disclosed in the
pages of the Times itself, I gradually began to consider matters in a different light.
Perhaps McCain's elevation to great American political power was not in spite of the
devastating facts littering his personal past, but because of them. As I
wrote a few years ago:
Today when we consider the major countries of the world we see that in many cases the
official leaders are also the leaders in actuality: Vladimir Putin calls the shots in Russia,
Xi Jinping and his top Politburo colleagues do the same in China, and so forth. However, in
America and in some other Western countries, this seems to be less and less the case, with
top national figures merely being attractive front-men selected for their popular appeal and
their political malleability, a development that may eventually have dire consequences for
the nations they lead. As an extreme example, a drunken Boris Yeltsin freely allowed the
looting of Russia's entire national wealth by the handful of oligarchs who pulled his
strings, and the result was the total impoverishment of the Russian people and a demographic
collapse almost unprecedented in modern peacetime history.
An obvious problem with installing puppet rulers is the risk that they will attempt to cut
their strings, much like Putin soon outmaneuvered and exiled his oligarch patron Boris
Berezovsky. One means of minimizing such risk is to select puppets who are so deeply
compromised that they can never break free, knowing that the political self-destruct charges
buried deep within their pasts could easily be triggered if they sought independence.
I have
sometimes joked with my friends that perhaps the best career move for an ambitious young
politician would be to secretly commit some monstrous crime and then make sure that the hard
evidence of his guilt ended up in the hands of certain powerful people, thereby assuring his
rapid political rise.
In physics, when an object deviates from its expected trajectory for inexplicable reasons,
we assume that some unknown force has been at work, and tracing the record of such deviations
may help to determine the characteristic properties of the latter. Over the years, I've
increasingly become aware of such strange ideological deviations in public policy, and although
some are readily explained, others suggest the existence of hidden forces far beneath the
surface of our regular political world. This same situation may have occurred throughout our
history, and sometimes the political decisions that so baffled contemporaries eventually came
to light decades later.
In The Dark Side of Camelot , famed investigative reporter Seymour Hersh claimed that
secret blackmail evidence of JFK's extra-marital affairs probably played a crucial role in
having his administration overrule the unanimous verdict of all top Pentagon advisors and award
the largest military procurement contract in U.S. history to General Dynamics instead of
Boeing, thereby saving the former company from likely bankruptcy and its major organized-crime
shareholders from devastating financial losses. Hersh also suggests that a similar factor
likely explains JFK's last-minute reversal in the choice of his Vice President, a decision that
landed Lyndon Johnson on the 1960 ticket and placed him in the White House after Kennedy's 1963
assassination.
As I recently
mentioned , in the 1950s Sen. Estes Kefauver shifted the focus of his Organized Crime
Hearings after the Chicago Syndicate confronted him with the photographs of his sexual
encounter with two mob-supplied women. A decade later, California Attorney-General Stanley Mosk
suffered much the same fate, with the facts remaining hidden for over twenty years.
Similar rumors swirl around events much farther back in history as well, sometimes with
enormous consequences. Well-placed contemporary
sources have claimed that Samuel Untermyer, a wealthy Jewish lawyer, purchased the secret
correspondence between Woodrow Wilson and his longtime mistress, and that the existence of that
powerful leverage may have been an important factor behind Wilson's astonishingly rapid rise
from president of Princeton in 1910 to governor of New Jersey in 1911 to president of the
United States in 1912. Once in office, Wilson signed the controversial legislation establishing
the Federal Reserve system in 1913 and also named Louis Brandeis as the first Jewish member of
the U.S. Supreme Court despite the public opposition of nearly our entire legal establishment.
Wilson's swiftly changing views on American involvement in the First World War may also have
influenced by such personal pressures rather than solely determined by his perceptions of the
national interest.
Without naming any names, since 2001 it has been difficult to avoid noticing that one of the
most zealous and committed supporters of the Neocon party-line on all Middle Eastern foreign
policy matters has been a leading Republican senator from one of the most socially-conservative
Southern states, a man whose rumored personal inclinations have long circulated on the
Internet. The strikingly-sudden reversal of this individual on a major policy question
certainly supports these suspicions. There have also been several other such examples involving
prominent Republicans.
But consider the far different situation of Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts, who in 1987
became the first member of the Congress to voluntarily admit that he was gay. Not long
afterward, a notorious scandal erupted when it was
revealed that his own DC townhouse had been used by a former boyfriend as headquarters for
a male-prostitution ring. Frank claimed to have had no knowledge of that sordid situation, and
his liberal Massachusetts constituents apparently accepted that, since he was resoundingly
reelected and went on to serve another 24 years in Congress. But surely if Frank had been a
Republican from a socially-conservative district, anyone possessing such evidence would have
totally controlled his political survival, and with Frank spending several years as Chairman of
the very powerful House Financial Services Committee, the value of such a hold would have been
enormous.
This demonstrates the undeniable reality that what constitutes effective blackmail material
may vary tremendously across different eras and regions. Today, it is widely accepted that
longtime FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover lived his life as a deeply-closeted homosexual and there
seem to be serious claims that he also had some black ancestry, with the secret evidence of
these facts probably helping to explain why for decades he stubbornly refused to admit the
existence of American organized crime or focus his G-men on efforts to uproot it. But in
today's America, he surely would have proudly proclaimed his sexuality and racial ancestry in
an New York Times Magazine cover-story, rightly believing that they enhanced his
political invulnerability on the national stage. There are lurid rumors that the Syndicate
possessed secret photos of Hoover wearing a dress and high-heels, but just a few years ago Rep.
Mike Honda of San Jose
desperately placed his eight-year-old transgendered grand-daughter front-and-center in his
unsuccessful attempt to win reelection.
The decades have certainly softened the effectiveness of many forms of blackmail, but
pedophilia still ranks as an extremely powerful taboo. There seems to be a great deal of
evidence that powerful organizations and individuals have successfully managed to suppress
credible accusations of that practice for very long periods of time if no group with
substantial media influence chose to target the offenders for unmasking.
The most obvious example is the Catholic Church, and the failings of its American and
international hierarchy in that regard have regularly made the front pages of our leading
newspapers. But until the early 2000s and the breakthrough reporting of the Boston Globe
as recounted in the Oscar-winning film Spotlight , the Church had routinely fended off
such scandals.
Consider also the remarkable case of British television personality Sir Jimmy Savile , one of his country's most
admired celebrities, eventually knighted for his public service. Only shortly after his death
at age 84 did the press begin revealing that he had probably molested many hundreds of children
during his long career. Accusations by his young victims had stretched back across forty years,
but his criminal activities had seemingly been protected by his wealth and celebrity, along
with his numerous supporters in the media.
There is also the intriguing example of Dennis Hastert. As the longest serving Republican
Speaker of the House in U.S. history, holding office during 1999-2007, Hastert was third in
line to the Presidency and even ranked as our nation's top Republican elected official during
some of that period. Based upon my newspaper readings, he had always struck me as a rather
bland and ordinary individual, with journalists sometimes even strongly hinting at his
mediocrity, so that I occasionally wondered just how someone so unimpressive could have risen
to such extremely high national office.
Then a few years ago, he was suddenly thrust back into the headlines, arrested by the FBI
and charged with financial crimes relating to what apparently had been his past history of
abusing young boys, at least one of whom had committed suicide, with the federal judge who sent
him to prison denouncing him as "a serial
child molester" at sentencing . Perhaps I've led an overly sheltered life, but my
impression is that only a tiny sliver of Americans have had a long record of child molestation,
and all things being equal, it seems rather unlikely that someone of such a background but who
possesses no other great talents or skills would rise to near the absolute top of our political
heap. So perhaps not all things were otherwise equal. If some powerful elements held the hard
evidence that placed a particular elected official under their total control, making great
efforts to elevate him to Speaker of the House would be a very shrewd investment.
At times the unwillingness of our national media to see major stories in front of their very
noses reaches ridiculous extremes. During the summer of 2007, the Internet was ablaze with
claims that Sen. John Edwards, a runner-up in the 2004 Democratic presidential primaries, had
just fathered a child with his mistress, and those reports were backed by seemingly-credible
visual evidence, including photos showing the married senator holding his new-born baby. Yet as
the days and even the weeks went by, not a whiff of this salacious scandal ever reached the
pages of any of my morning newspapers or the rest of the mainstream media although it was a top
conversation topic everywhere else. Eventually, the National Enquirer , a notorious
gossip tabloid, scored a journalistic first ,
by receiving a Pulitzer Prize nomination for breaking the story that no other outlet seemed
willing to cover. Would our media have similarly averted its eyes from a newborn baby Trump
coming from the wrong side of the bed?
Over the years, it became increasingly obvious to me that nearly all elements of our
national media were often quite willing to enlist in a "conspiracy of silence" to minimize or
entirely ignore stories of tremendous potential interest to their readership and major public
importance. I could easily have doubled or tripled the number of such notable examples I
provided above without much effort. Moreover, it is quite intriguing that so many of these
cases involve the sort of criminal or sexual misbehavior that would be ideally suited for
blackmailing powerful individuals who are less likely to be vulnerable to other influences. So
perhaps many of the elected officials situated at the top of our democratic system merely reign
as political puppets, dancing to invisible strings.
Given my awareness of this remarkable track-record of major media cover-ups, I'm ashamed to
admit that I had paid almost no attention to the Jeffrey Epstein case until it exploded across
our national headlines earlier this month, suddenly becoming one of the biggest news stories in
our country.
For many years, reports about Epstein and his illegal sex-ring had regularly circulated on
the fringes of the Internet, with agitated commenters citing the case as proof of the dark and
malevolent forces that secretly controlled our corrupted political system. But I almost
entirely ignored these discussions, and I'm not sure that I ever once clicked on a single
link.
Probably one reason I paid so little attention to the topic was the exceptionally lurid
nature of the claims being made. Epstein was supposedly an enormously wealthy Wall Street
financier of rather mysterious personal background and source of funds, who owned a private
island and an immense New York City mansion, both regularly stocked with harems of underage
girls provided for sexual purposes. He allegedly hobnobbed on a regular basis with Bill
Clinton, Prince Andrew, Harvard's Alan Dershowitz, and numerous other figures in the
international elite, as well as a gaggle of ordinary billionaires, frequently transporting
those individuals on his personal jet known as "the Lolita Express" for the role it played in
facilitating illegal secret orgies with young girls. When right-wing bloggers on obscure
websites claimed that former President Clinton and the British Royals were being sexually
serviced by the underage girls of a James Bond super-villain brought to life, I just assumed
those accusations were the wildest sort of Internet exaggeration.
Moreover, these angry writers did occasionally let slip that the fiendish target of their
wrath had already been charged in a Florida courtroom, eventually pleading guilty to a single
sexual offense and receiving a thirteen month jail sentence, mitigated by very generous
work-release provisions. This hardly seemed like the sort of judicial punishment that would
lend credence to the fantastical accusations against him. If Epstein had already been
investigated by law enforcement authorities and given the sentence one might expect for writing
a bad check, I found it quite unlikely that he was actually the Goldfinger or Dr. No that
deluded Internet activists made him out to be.
Then these same wild, implausible claims previously found only on anonymous comment-threads
were suddenly repeated as solid fact on the front pages of the Times and all my other
morning newspapers, and the former federal prosecutor who had signed off on Epstein's legal
slap-on-the-wrist was forced to resign from the Trump Cabinet. Epstein's safe had been found to
contain a huge cache of child-pornography and other highly suspicious material, and he was
quickly rearrested on charges that could send him to federal prison for decades. Prestigious
media outlets described Epstein as the mastermind of a huge sex-trafficking ring, and numerous
underage victims began coming forward, telling their stories of how he had molested, raped, and
pimped them. The author of a long 2003 Epstein profile that had appeared in Vanity Fair
explained that she had personally spoken to some of his victims and included their
highly-credible accounts in her article, but that those portions had been stricken and removed
by her timorous editors.
As presented by these media outlets, Epstein's personal rise also seemed rather inexplicable
unless he had benefited from some powerful network or similar organization. Lacking any college
degree or credentials, he had somehow gotten a job teaching at one of New York City's most
elite prep schools, then quickly jumped to working at a top investment bank, rising to partner
with astonishing speed until he was fired a few years later for illegal activity. Despite such
a scanty and doubtful record, he was soon managing money for some of America's wealthiest
individuals, and keeping so much of it for himself that he was regularly described as a
billionaire. According to newspaper accounts, his great specialty was "making connections for
people."
Obviously, Epstein was a ruthlessly opportunistic financial hustler. But extremely wealthy
individuals must surely be surrounded by great swarms of ruthlessly opportunistic financial
hustlers, and why would he have been so much more successful than all those others? Perhaps a
clue comes from the offhand remark of Epstein's now-disgraced prosecutor, saying that he had
been told to go very easy on the sex-trafficker because he "belonged to intelligence." The
vague phrasing of that statement raises questions about whether the intelligence service may
not have been one controlled by the U.S. government.
Philip Giraldi, a highly-regarded former CIA officer, put things very plainly when
he suggested
that Epstein had probably been working for the Israeli Mossad, operating "honey traps" to
obtain blackmail information on all the wealthy and powerful individuals whom he regularly
plied with underage girls. Indeed, longtime Canadian journalist Eric Margolis recounted his early
1990s visit to Epstein's enormous NYC mansion, in which he had barely crossed the threshold
before he was offered an "intimate massage" by one of the many young girls there, presumably in
a bedroom well-stocked with hidden cameras.
Given my personal lack of interest in the Epstein case, then or now, perhaps a few of these
details may be garbled, but it seems undeniable that he was exactly the sort of remarkable
renegade often faced by Agent 007 in the movies, and the true facts will presumably come out at
his trial. Or perhaps not. Whether he lives to see trial is not entirely clear given the
considerable number of powerful individuals who might prefer that hidden facts remain hidden,
and the Friday newspapers
reported that Epstein had been found injured and unconscious in his prison cell.
When one seemingly implausible pedophilia scandal has suddenly jumped from obscure corners
of the Internet to the front pages of our leading newspapers, we must naturally begin to wonder
whether others might not eventually do the same. And a very likely candidate comes to mind, one
that seemed to me far better documented than the vague accusations being thrown about over the
last few years against a wealthy financier once given a thirteen-month jail sentence in Florida
a decade earlier.
I don't use Social Media myself, but near the end of the 2016 presidential campaign, I
gradually began seeing more and more Trump supporters referring to something called
"Pizzagate," a burgeoning sexual scandal that they claimed would bring down Hillary Clinton and
many of the top leaders of her party, with the chatter actually increasing after Trump was
elected. As near as I could tell, the whole bizarre theory had grown up on the far-right fringe
of the Internet, with the utterly fantastical plot having something to do with stolen secret
emails, DC pizza parlors, and a ring of pedophiles situated near the top of the Democratic
Party. But given all the other strange and unlikely things I'd gradually discovered about our
history, it didn't seem like something I could necessarily dismiss out of hand.
At the beginning of December, a right-wing blogger produced a lengthy exposition of the
Pizzagate charges, which finally gave me some understanding of what was actually under
discussion, and I soon made arrangements to republish his article. It quickly attracted a great
deal of interest, and some websites pointed to it as the best single introduction to the
scandal for a general audience.
Pizzagate Aedon Cassiel • December 2, 2016
• 3,100 Words
A couple of weeks later, I republished an additional article by the same writer, describing
a long list of previous pedophilia scandals that had occurred in elite American and European
political circles. Although many of these seemed to be solidly documented, nearly all of them
had received minimal coverage by our mainstream media outlets. And if such political pedophile
rings had existed in the relatively recent past, was it so totally implausible that there might
be another one simmering beneath the surface of today's Washington DC?
Those interested in the details of the Pizzagate Hypothesis are advised to read these
articles, especially the first one, but I might as well provide a brief summary.
John Podesta had been a longtime fixture in DC political circles, becoming chief of staff to
President Bill Clinton in 1998, and afterward remaining one of the most powerful figures in the
Democratic Party establishment. While serving as as chairman of Hillary Clinton's 2016
presidential campaign, his apparent carelessness with the password security of his Gmail
account allowed it to easily be hacked, and tens of thousands of his personal emails were soon
published on WikiLeaks. A swarm of young anti-Clinton activists began scouring this
treasure-trove of semi-confidential information, seeking evidence of mundane bribery and
corruption, but instead they came across some quite odd exchanges, seemingly written in coded
language.
Now use of coded language in a supposedly secure private email account raises all sorts of
natural suspicions regarding what might have been under discussion, with the most likely
possibilities being illegal drugs or sex. But most of the references didn't seem to fit the
former category, and in our remarkably libertine era, in which political candidates compete for
the right to be Grand Marshal at an annual Gay Pride Parade, one of the few sexual activities
still discussed only in whispers would seem to be pedophilia, with some of the very strange
remarks possibly hinting at this.
The researchers also soon discovered that his brother Tony Podesta, one of the wealthiest
and most successful lobbyists in DC, had extremely odd taste in art. Major items of his very
extensive personal collection seemed to represent tortured or murdered bodies, and one of his
favorite artists was best known for paintings depicting young children being held captive,
lying dead, or suffering under severe distress. Such peculiar artwork obviously isn't illegal,
but it might naturally arouse some suspicions. And oddly enough, arch-Democrat Podesta had long
been a close personal friend of former Republican Speaker and convicted child-molester Dennis
Hastert, welcoming him back into DC society after his release from prison.
Furthermore, some of the rather suspiciously-worded Podesta emails referred to events held
at a local DC pizza parlor, greatly favored by the Democratic Party elite, whose owner was the
gay former boyfriend of David Brock, a leading Democratic activist. The public Instagram
account of that pizza-entrepreneur apparently contained numerous images of young children,
sometimes tied or bound, with those images frequently labeled by hashtags using the traditional
gay slang for underage sexual targets. Some photos showed the fellow wearing a tee-shirt
bearing the statement "I Love Children" in French, and by a very odd coincidence, his possibly
assumed name was phonetically identical to that very same French phrase, thus proclaiming to
the world that he was "a lover of children." Closely connected Instagram accounts also included
pictures of young children, sometimes shown amid piles of high-value currency, with queries
about how much those particular children might be worth. None of this seemed illegal, but
surely any reasonable person would regard the material as extremely suspicious.
DC is sometimes described as "Powertown," being the seat of the individuals who make
America's laws and govern our society, with local political journalists being closely attuned
to the relative status of such individuals. And oddly enough, GQ Magazine had ranked
that gay pizza parlor owner with a strange focus on young children as being one of the 50 most
powerful people in our national capital, placing him far ahead of many Cabinet members,
Senators, Congressional Chairmen, Supreme Court justices, and top lobbyists. Was his pizza
really that delicious?
These few paragraphs provide merely a sliver of the large quantity of highly-suspicious
material surrounding various powerful figures at the apex of the DC political world. A vast
cloud of billowing smoke is certainly no proof of any fire, but only a fool would completely
ignore it without attempting further investigation.
I usually regard videos as a poor means of imparting serious information, far less effective
and meaningful than the simple printed word. But the overwhelming bulk of the evidence
supporting the Pizzagate Hypothesis consists of visual images and screen shots, and these are
naturally suited to a video presentation.
Some of the best summaries of the Pizzagate case were produced by a young British YouTuber
named Tara McCarthy, whose work was published under the name of "Reality Calls," and her videos
were viewed hundreds of thousands of times. Although her channel was eventually banned and her
videos purged, copies were later reloaded to other accounts, both on YouTube and BitChute. Some
of the evidence she presents seemed rather innocuous or speculative to me and other elements
were probably based upon her unfamiliarity with American society and culture. But a great deal
of extremely suspicious material remains, and I would suggest that people watch the videos and
decide for themselves.
Around the same time that I first became familiar with the details of the Pizzagate
controversy, the topic also started reaching the pages of my morning newspapers, but in an
rather strange manner. Political stories began giving a sentence or two to the "Pizzagate
hoax," describing it as a ridiculous right-wing "conspiracy theory" but excluding all relevant
details. I had an eery feeling that some unseen hand had suddenly flipped a switch causing the
entire mainstream media to begin displaying identical signs declaring "Pizzagate Is False --
Nothing To See There!" in brightly flashing neon. I couldn't recall any previous example of
such a strange media reaction to some obscure Internet controversy.
Articles in the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times also suddenly
appeared denouncing the entirety of the alternative media -- Left, Right, and Libertarian --
as
"fake news" websites promoting Russian propaganda , while urging that their content be
blocked by all patriotic Internet giants such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google. Prior to that
moment, I'd never even heard the term "fake news" but suddenly it was ubiquitous across the
media, once again almost as if some unseen hand had suddenly flipped a switch.
I naturally began to wonder whether the timing of these two strange developments was
entirely coincidental. Perhaps Pizzagate was indeed true and struck so deeply at the core of
our hugely corrupted political system that the media efforts to suppress it were approaching
the point of hysteria.
Not long afterward, Tara McCarthy's detailed Pizzagate videos were purged from YouTube. This
was among the very first instances of video content being banned despite fully conforming to
all existing YouTube guidelines, another deeply suspicious development.
I also noticed that mere mention of Pizzagate had become politically lethal. Donald Trump
had selected Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, as his
National Security Advisor, and Flynn's son served as the latter's chief of staff. The younger
Flynn happened to Tweet out a couple of links to Pizzagate stories, pointing out that the
accusations hadn't yet been actually investigated let alone disproven, and very soon afterward,
he was
purged from the Trump transition team, foreshadowing his father's fall a few weeks later.
It seemed astonishing to me that a few simple Tweets about an Internet controversy could have
such huge real-life impact near the top of our government.
The media continued its uniform drumbeat of "Pizzagate Has Been Disproven!" but we were
never told how or by whom, and I was not the only individual to notice the hollowness of such
denunciations. An award-winning investigative journalist named Ben Swann at a CBS station in
Atlanta broadcast a short television segment summarizing the Pizzagate controversy and noting
that contrary to widespread media claims, Pizzagate had neither been investigated nor debunked.
Swann was almost immediately purged by CBS but a copy of his television segment remains
available for viewing on the Internet.
There is an old wartime proverb that enemy flak is always heaviest over the most important
target, and the remarkably ferocious wave of attacks and censorship against anyone broaching
the subject of Pizzagate seems to raise obvious dark suspicions. Indeed, the simultaneous waves
of attacks against all alternative media outlets as "Russian propaganda outlets" laid the basis
for the continuing regime of Social Media censorship that has become a central aspect of
today's world.
Pizzagate may or may not turn out to be true, but the ongoing Internet crackdown has
similarly engulfed topics of a somewhat similar nature but with vastly stronger documentation.
Although I don't use Twitter myself, I encountered the obvious implications of this new
censorship policy following McCain's death last August. The senator had died on a Saturday
afternoon, and readership of Sydney Schanberg's long 2008 expose quickly exploded, with
numerous individuals Tweeting out the story and a large fraction of our incoming traffic
therefore coming from Twitter. This continued until the following morning, at which point the
huge flood of Tweets continued to grow, but all incoming Twitter traffic suddenly and
permanently vanished, presumably because "shadow banning" had rendered those Tweets invisible.
My own article on McCain's very doubtful war record simultaneously suffered the same fate, as
did numerous other articles of a controversial nature that we published later that same
week.
Perhaps that censorship decision was made by some ignorant young intern at Twitter, casually
choosing to ban as "hate speech" or "fake news" a massively-documented 8,400 word expose by one
of America's most distinguished journalists, a Pulitzer-prize winning former top editor at
The New York Times .
Or perhaps certain political-puppeteers who had spent decades controlling that late Arizona
senator sought to ensure that their political puppet-strings remained invisible even after his
death.
John McCain was a leading American neocon who always advocated war and ever greater
military spending for a growing worldwide empire. This made him a successful politician and
explains why our neocon corporate media praises him and refuses to reports facts about his
life. By several accounts ("The Nightingale Song" for example) he only got into the Naval
Academy for a free college degree because dad and grandfather were admirals, and should have
been kicked out several times. He graduated near the bottom of his class and was a lousy
pilot who got into trouble often and crashed two aircraft because of neglect. He was shot
down on his first tour over Vietnam while bombing a civilian power plant, and getting
captured is not heroic.

What happened in captivity is controversial, but upon returning from POW status he passed a
physical and regained flight status as a pilot. Yet after he finished 20 years of service
that allowed generous retirement pay, he obtained a 100% VA disability rating allowing him to
collect some $40,000 a year tax free too! The LA Times mentioned this when McCain insisted he
was fit to serve as President. For the past two decades, he hauled in over $240,000 a year
from the Feds for military retirement, 100% VA disability, social security retirement, while
working full-time in the US Senate. He was paid for being retired, disabled, and gainfully
employed! This is textbook case of why our system needs reform to protect taxpayers from rich
welfare kings like McCain.
McCain's loyal wife was disabled in a serious auto accident while he was a POW. Soon after
he returned, McCain dumped her for a wealthy woman 20 years younger. The Reagans were so
angry they never spoke to him again. He then married his new babe before he officially got
divorced, so there's that bigamy thing. McCain used his wife's family money to run for
Congress and quickly got into trouble with the Keating Five scandal. McCain got $112,000 in
"campaign contributions" and an equal amount of luxury perks from one of our nation's leading
fraudsters. In return, he helped change laws and threatened regulators to allow this
multi-billion real estate scam to grow.
I don't know why any Arizonian voted for this crazed man, especially since he was a big
advocate for open borders. At a union meeting, he told workers illegals are needed because
Americans are too lazy to work farm fields, even for $50 an hour. McCain never labored his
entire life, always on the government dole earning ten times minimum wage worker pay, whose
increase he opposed.
McCain grew up wealthy and enjoyed free government health care his entire life, yet
thought it nothing workers deserve. While running for President and attacking programs for
the poor, a reporter asked how many houses he owned. He was unsure, but thought maybe seven.
But his worst damage was to oppose any attempt at world peace, often demanding that the USA
bomb the neocon designated villain of the year, currently Iran. McCain was a key player in
the senseless deaths of thousands of American GIs and a million foreigners over the past two
decades. He will not be missed.
Sep 2, 2018 -- John McCain Will Not Be Missed
As a follow-up to my Aug 27th blog, I ask people to name McCain's most important
accomplishment during his long political career. They can think of none, but the TV tells
them McCain was great because he was a neocon. Senator Paul Laxalt saw more combat than
McCain and had an equally long and distinguished career. He was not a crazed neocon so our
media barely reported his death last month.
Here are two examples of McCain's bad character just this past year. McCain had always
opposed Obamacare and campaigned against it. The Republicans had tried to repeal it for
years. The election of President Trump also brought in more Republican congressmen. The House
easily repealed it, and the Senate finally had a majority to vote for a partial repeal. This
would be a big victory for the Republicans led by President Trump. When the vote was held,
McCain shocked everyone and voted against it, thus abandoning his principles and backstabbing
his party! This was applauded by the Democrats and the insurance companies who profit from
Obamacare. They praised McCain as a "maverick", although everyone knows this was done just to
thwart a Trump victory.
On his deathbed, McCain directed his staff not to invite his Presidential running mate
Sarah Palin to his funeral. She campaigned for him as a loyal teammate and never said a bad
word about McCain during the campaign or after their loss. McCain blamed her for his loss and
expressed this in a childish manner. Allow me to summarize his life. John McCain was a
selfish, spoiled brat who had no sense of decency.
One of the most blatant examples of news media's silence on a topic of great national
interest is the lack of coverage of closed-door "globalist" meetings like Bilderberg (which
is attended by employees of such publications as The New York Times and Washington
Post .)
The overheard conversation between Angela Merkel and Mark Zuckerberg on what Facebook can do
to further her immigration agenda also received astonishingly little coverage from the
establishment press:
If you look closely at Hoover's pictures it's hard to miss the kinky hair, broad nose and
just something about the bone structure of his face that reveals some negro ancestry. There's
a high school picture of him in some kind of band or cadet uniform that makes his bit of
black blood obvious.
That Mayor Moscone of San Francisco who was shot had a thing for 11-13 black girls, small
ones. He liked to beat them up a bit too. Probably not as badly as the bearings their mothers
face them all their lives. His driver was a district attorney investigator who had to drive
him to the projects and Protero Silver Av neighborhoods to meet his little friends. He met
them at their mothers homes. I assume the mothers consented and some pimps arranged
things.
One time Mayor Moscone drive himself to the Sunnyvale projects. While he was inside with
his little friend some black guys removed all the tires from his city car and he had to call
the police to drive him home.
He had 4 or 5 kids, Catholic Church attendance catholic schools the whole ostentatious
Italian Catholic thing but he liked sex with those really young black girls in their project
homes.
But as the media continued to avert its eyes from these newly revealed facts, even those
disclosed in the pages of the Times itself, I gradually began to consider matters in a
different light. Perhaps McCain's elevation to great American political power was not in
spite of the devastating facts littering his personal past, but because of
them.
Agree with this. The message from the McCain funeral was that the blackmailed US political
class would be well looked after -right to the end -- if they remained docile and obedient
and followed their scripts.
For "War Hero" McCain, it was his unswerving hard line calling for the destruction of
Iran.
But, the Zio-Glob still failed to get their war through McCain, and they also failed to
get it through Hillary Clinton. Both of them were rejected by voters despite massive media
support. This points to a basic problem that the Empire's has with Democracy. The public
clearly doesn't want another ME war, and is now aware that it was tricked into Iraq (WMD),
and significantly, their (the public's) resistance to war is sufficiently strong enough to
overcome massed MSM propaganda pushing the other way.
If the MSM can't swing it, then they need to get a compromised candidate elected on an
anti-war and immigration control platform, who then does a 180º turn when in office.
Trump wasn't their candidate (which suggests that he's clean), and (so far) he hasn't enabled
a war with Iran, so what happens with him is an open question.
Also agree that the media reaction to the Pizzagate (pedophilia) story was one of extreme
sensitivity -- almost panic, with a massive and coordinated overreaction. This suggests that
Pizzagate is in fact the nightmare subject at the root of American politician's worst
dreams.
The most obvious example is the Catholic Church, and the failings of its American and
international hierarchy in that regard have regularly made the front pages of our leading
newspapers. But until the early 2000s and the breakthrough reporting of the Boston Globe as
recounted in the Oscar-winning film Spotlight, the Church had routinely fended off such
scandals.
I'm an investigator in Boston. Just to put things in perspective, Globe's Spotlight
investigation really only involved 8 priests (3 of them no longer in the priesthood- one in
prison- at the time of the Spotlight piece) and went back 30 years. I don't have numbers on
minors involved in this Epstein scandal but I would guess they are much higher.
I always found it curious that Marty Baron decides to launch a major expose of the Boston
Catholic Church right after arriving from Miami. Seriously? A dozen priests out of thousands
in the Boston Archdiocese? I really would like to know who was behind this concerted
operation to take down the heart of American Catholicism. They make the folks behind the
Trump-Russia collusion plot look like amateurs.
Don't forget the arrest of Ars Technica writer Peter Bright, @DrPizza on twitter (account
still up), who was arrested last month for soliciting sex with children and admitted to
abusing an 11 year old girl. A guy named 'Dr Pizza' who had a pizza emoji next to his name,
who tweeted often that Pizzagate was completely made up and once to the effect that "why
would pedophiles put badges that could identify them up online" was arrested for being a
pedophile and then subsequently came out he had constantly argued for relaxations on things
like child porn and sexual-related issues. If this doesn't at least give doubters cause for
concern that maybe something is up I don't know what will.
This is a well-known weakness of Representative Democracy -- in all its versions.
The Balfour Declaration which led eventually to the creation of the state of Israel was
undoubtedly the result of complex blackmail and bribery. Perhaps the USA would not have
entered into WW1 unless Jews were promised Palestine in a deal.
Democracy is supposed to be a negative-feedback system -- like all control system. The
only way to make it function properly is to have Direct Democracy -- where people vote on all
issues and at the lowest level commensurate with the matter to be decided.
Journolist is probably weak sauce compared to the major editors of the largest television
networks and newspaper syndicates deciding amongst themselves "whats news". Ive thought this
for years. We know the CIA has people placed in media organizations, and probably has dirt on
highly placed people in media organizations who are not CIA.
McCain must have been susceptible to pressure from Russians or Chinese who certainly knew
everything McCain did in Vietnam? Or is KGB/FSB also run form Tel Aviv?
Alex Jones -- yes, Alex Jones -- gave a coherent argument about the pedophilia accusations
that avoided Satanism and the like but was still coherent. And its the same as the one you
talk about.
Simple Kompromat .
Basically, national intelligence agencies identify up-and-comers in media and politics,
then either get kompromat on them early or, if they can find nothing, set up a scenario where
kompromat is created. In this latter scenario, the up-and-comer is invited to dinner,
drugged, and then wakes up with either a dead body next to him or is shown pictures of him
either killing someone or else molesting children. Then the up-and-comer is trapped for
life.
Remember The Godfather, Part II ? They got the Nevada Senator to become their slave
when they drugged him in a whorehouse and Neri killed the girl he was sleeping with, and the
senator wakes up confused next to the girl and doesn't know if he did it or not -- and
Michael promises to keep it all quiet -- for a price, of course. That's how it happens to
these folks.
Then they own you for years.
Which makes you really scared -- not only is the FBI and NSA and CIA spying on us all
illegally and spying on Trump at Obama's behest and allowing Hillary to skate -- they're
running murder and child sex rings themselves. To gain leverage.
@Jimmy R Surprisingly, the Globe's in-bad-faith attack on the Church might have begun a a
greater renewal in it. Once it came out, people who had faith started noticing that almost
all the priests doing the abuse were -- gay men abusing teenage boys. 81% of the cases
weren't "pedophilia", they were homosexuals getting sexually mature but underage, vulnerable
boys behind closed doors and taking advantage of them.
Catholics like Michael Voris at Church Militant have put 2 and 2 together. The problems in
the Church isn't pedophilia, its homosexuals -- and Voris has exposed a ton more, including
many bishops, and called them out harshly. The Church is supposed to purge homosexuals from
the priesthood (by Catholic dogma), but haven't -- because higher-up homos have protected the
lot.
But now many Catholic lay groups are organized and pushing to attack the illegal gay
priests and get them out of the cloth. The homomafia is now proven to exist -- and, much like
when the original Mafia was admitted to exist by the Kefauver hearings, an organized rounding
up can occur.
I learn from the Times that the Phoenix beer-monopoly in question, then valued at around
$200 million, had accrued to a man whose lifelong business partner Kemper Marley had long
been deeply linked to organized crime.
Jim Hensley the beer baron and McCain father in law was convicted of liquor related
federal crimes (stealing from warehouses) but must have had a friendly judge lol cause he
didn't do jail time , got probation and paid a big fine. He was working for Kemper Marley at
the time.
So liar McCain married into a crime family .makes sense for a career fuck up who once his
father died would start failing downward instead of upward.
Organized crime loves beer and liquor distributorships cause its a all cash business .the
retailer pays you for the beer before it goes on their shelves or in their bar. no credit, no
billing, pay up front. I bought a beer distributorship in 1975 so I know a bit about it .and
Hensley had to have had some state officials in his pocket or his friend Marley had them
cause is no way the state is going to give you a license if you've been convicted on anything
worse than a speeding ticket.
You've got to be investigated by your state FBI for starters, account for every year of your
life, your schools, your wife's life, your parents and relatives, list people you associate
with in business or socially, then they go interview people who know you,,,in fact they do
that before they even personally interview you and you have to give them your financial
records, what your source of money is and all your tax returns. All of this is to make sure
you have no ties to any kind of organized crime and the money purchasing the distributorship
isn't coming from any shady figures.
Hensley or his backer had some very serious political pull and pay offs.
The number one career choice for aspiring crooks and fuckups is politics .McCain with his
punk complex temper couldn't have held on to job anywhere else.
Over the years, it became increasingly obvious to me that nearly all elements of our
national media were often quite willing to enlist in a "conspiracy of silence" to minimize or
entirely ignore stories of tremendous potential interest to their readership and major public
importance.
Yes, how about an update on the investigation into the killing of Seth Rich -- does that
count as a 'cold case' at this point?
Also media interest in the Las Vegas mass shooting seemed to fizzle -- as did the
investigation.
This is the concept of Kakistocracy. I always found McCain getting a pass on what he did to
the left behind POWs hard to fathom -- this explains it. Before I read this article I thought
that Pizzagate was just some kind of lunacy/nothing and had heard some guy went and shot up a
restaurant over it (probably the creeps involved in it arranged that themselves to discredit
those exposing them?) and it was since faded away discredited, I see it attacked by the same
people who are always using the CIA created term "Conspiracy Theory" seems it is in fact the
opposite of what I thought (due to the Globalist Propagandist Media) and its creepy players
are "running" things and highly protected by the Propagandist Globalist NWO Media, seems
Obama himself is in deep if the video is correct? hard to even look at the video as to these
creatures .So Question? Is the Q thing also for real? I have never really followed it and
seen it "debunked" on a site that made it sound like lunacy but this makes me wonder .
@Jimmy R Sometimes ago, the Mexican Bishops Conference, when speaking about Mexican
monopolistic oligarches, said they were like contemporary slave-owners .
About one year later, one of theses oligarches, Carlos Slim, bought a part of the NYTimes.
Then the NYT started its own crusade against Catholic priests paedophilia.
At the time, I noticed the coincidence, but it was like I was the only one noticing
it.
Is J. Gutierez around? He may confirm the story.
I appreciate your telling "the rest of the story" regarding the actual (as opposed to
purported) extent of the Boston sex abuse scandal.
The same abuse exaggerations also occurred in Pennsylvania."Grossly misleading,
irresponsible, inaccurate, and unjust" is how former New York Times religion reporter Peter
Steinfels described last August's grand jury report in its sweeping accusations that
Pennsylvania Catholic bishops refused to protect children from sexual abuse.
BTW, some time ago our patron Ron off-handedly accepted as factual the Globe narrative.
When contrary opinion and facts were brought to his attention, he appeared to have accepted
that they were at least worthy of consideration. (Or that's the way I vaguely remember what
transpired.)
I did not know anything about any physical violence that may or many not have been present in
McCain's marriage. I certainly did feel, that much of the senator's last days were being
carefully orchestrated in order to maintain the highest degree of hero status possible. His
wealthy wife certainly had the resources to leave if she wanted to. She always seemed to me
extremely loyal and attentive.
I would say it was similar concerning Bush 41. Perfectly understandable that negative
stories wouldn't be brought up during his long wake/funeral -- in Tx and DC -- but how about
never? Several books have said that Bush's -- and campaign manager W. Casey -- CIA
connections helped Reagan get elected by keeping the hostages in Iran .
The Vice-Pres was also up to his neck in the Iran/Contra affair in spite of him saying he
was "out of the loop (he wasn't)." A sexual affair is unimportant. But the family says it
never happened. Others have said otherwise. Jesse Ventura and his writer Dick Russell have
done a nice job laying out some things that you will never hear from the Bush flack John
Meacham. Or pretty much anyone else in on- air media.
The Corporate Fascist Military Industrial-Intelligence Police State will tell us who our
heroes, presidents, and icons are. It has already been decided. McCain was commonly known as
"crash" for all the incidents he had. He was a terrible pilot and would have never been one
except for his father. His beatings of his wife were widely known but covered up because of
his "War Hero Status." Our entire society is nothing more than a projection by the
"controllers."
Examples of this are of course Obama and his wife. The media asked him almost no questions
and he was guided by the Jew Axelrod to the Media's satisfaction. What Obama and his wife got
away with in Chicago would embarrass the Mafia. Michele Obama had to surrender her law
license to the Illinois State Disciplinary Committee. The files have been sealed.
Just look at the group running for President. All basically selected by the same
controllers. They will not make a mistake in letting another Trump spoil their plans. Our
entire democracy is just a mirage. The founder fathers were afraid that this would happen but
their plans in the Constitution to protect the nation have become "gang banged" by the
Marxist Mobs whose heroes are icons like Obama who bombed seven Muslim countries, murdered
thousands of innocent people, destroyed the middle class and started wars and lied to the
nation yet these people are on their knees to his royal presence.
We have no chance of getting to the truth on anything because to even ask a question is
now an act of racism, antisemitism, and hatred.
One of the more extreme accusers in Britain has revealed to be a fantasist, his claims went
well beyond other claims and included such unlikely characters as Field Marshall Lord
Brammal, and this is being used to Bury the paedophile scandal in Britain. Greville Janner's
children have been given prominent coverage to suggest this shows their father is innocent
despite the fact that the evidence against their father is very substantial and has little to
do with the fantasist.
There is an old wartime proverb that enemy flak is always heaviest over the most
important target, and the remarkably ferocious wave of attacks and censorship against
anyone broaching the subject of Pizzagate seems to raise all sorts of dark suspicions.
I guess we can look forward to another day of heavy DDoS of unz.com.
How is it we don't yet have a Grand Unifying Theory that links the seemingly unconnected
paedophelia stories that have simmered simultaneously in D.C., Westminster, and Brussels over
the past couple of decades? The Church would seem to fit right in in this NWO orgy, but has
instead been hung out to dry.
One of the elite one worlder groups is the (in)famous Skull and Bones society at Yale. Its
membership included both president Bushes as well as John Kerry and a multitude of other
politicians. Anthony Sutton carried out an expose in his book America's secret establishment.
Part of the inition occurs in a crypt surrounded by skulls , including Geronimos's skull
while lying in a coffin. If that isnt weird enough part of the initiation includes something
around sexual misadventure. According to Kay Riggs, whose husband was a colnel in the
intelligence services the sexual side of the initiation involves the person being sodomised
by an member of the society. According to her , in order to enter the higher levels of many
parts of government this is not an uncommon practice.
In the murky world of american political elites the truth is impossible to be certain
of.
The skull and bones society has been well publicised so presumably now the power has been
withdrawn from it.
I've had much enjoyment over the years by asking McCain worshipers to give me the name of one
Vietnamese with as many confirmed kills of American military as John McCain.
Another long-winded & annoyingly inchoate ramble raising several important but seemingly
disparate subjects, each of which could & probably should have been pursued
independently. Is there really any viable connection between Sydney Schanberg & Epstein,
between the Catholic Church & John McCain, between Berezovsky & Pizzagate, etc.? What
a jumbled mishmash that leaves you more confused than when you started. "Perhaps" this &
"perhaps" that, doesn't help very much. The most urgent question though is why are so many
high & mighty tempted by pedophilia in the first place, where does that psychosis come
from & why are the power games more important than the pawns, the poor kids, that are
used to play it? Hanging is much too good for an unspeakable filth like Epstein & whoever
aided him. There is no punishment or torture ever devised that would be sufficient, if found
guilty, for the crimes for which he stands accused. That should come first, the rest is
chickenfeed.
We have progressed (here we laugh) from the times of Gentlemen and Ladies to so-called
emancipated men and women with human rights fit for animals. Just to refresh your memory
The last big VA scandal where many Veterans died waiting to get medical treatment
happened in Arizona. You cannot tell me that McCain did not know that Veterans were dying
while waiting to get help at the Phoenix VA. In my opinion McCain was a worthless human
being.
The most devastating victory the North Vietnamese had over the US was the return of McCain
alive.
I'm not convinced by the evidence against Comet Ping Pong, but I am intrigued by the possible
connections that the Podesta brothers have to the disappearance of the British girl,
Madelaine McCann, in Portugal over a decade ago. John Podesta is known to have been in
Portugal around the time of Madelaine's disappearance. There is also a description eerily
similar to Anthony Wiener.
I've long been convinced, and who can deny, that most of the wars the US has been involved
in, and all of the ones Zionists and Communists have been involved in, have roots in
outrageous sadistic psychopathology like this.:
Major items of his very extensive personal collection seemed to represent tortured or
murdered bodies, and one of his favorite artists was best known for paintings depicting
young children being held captive, lying dead, or suffering under severe distress
.
As for the slime, McCain, and the rest of the political establishment, none of it
surprises me. The type was recognized long ago.
(1) Roy Cohn (1927-86) allegedly ran child sex and blackmail operations for decades,
operating out of locales such as New York's Plaza Hotel
(2) Robert Keith Gray (1921-2014), USA lobbyist, "specialist in homosexual blackmail
operations for the CIA and reported to have collaborated with Roy Cohn"
(3) Bruce Ritter (1927-99), Roman Catholic priest and founder of Covenant House for
homeless teenagers, "eventually accused of having sexual relationships with many of the
underaged boys he had taken in", Ritter supported by Cardinal Spellman closely tied to Roy

administration with young men whom the Washington Times described as 'call boys' Spence often
boasted that he was working for the CIA Not long after the Washington Times report on his
activities was published, Spence was found dead in the Boston Ritz Carlton and his death was
quickly ruled a suicide."

both King and Spence were connected to each other and both were also connected to prominent
officials in the Reagan and subsequent George H.W. Bush administrations, including officials
with ties to the CIA and Roy Cohn and his network"
(6) Jeffrey Epstein (born 1953) then comes in on the scene, convicted of the same kinds of
activities, and linked to the networks reflected in the above
By the way, the 'police break-in' to Epstein's New York City 27,000 square foot mansion,
is regarded as a staged fake event by many, because as was clear, Epstein had multiple
live-in staffers, there was always a butler or someone present 24/7, who would simply have
opened the door for the police. The crowbar damage to the door would not have opened the
high-security portal, and would have set off massive alarms. The people walking out with
cheap rubbish bags of alleged 'evidence' did not even look like police or feds on a
high-profile operation.
Epstein always had lots of aides & helpers such as Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of
'Israeli super-spy Robert Maxwell', allegedly helping procure all the young girls etc., yet
somehow not yet so touched by these events when a 'serious' prosecution would certain quickly
dragnet all such people. What is really going on, remains yet to be seen.
That some, if not many US politicians have degenerate backgrounds and bizarre tastes can't be
brushed off as some coincidence.
If you're a tiny ME nation that is doing a good job of occupying the most powerful
military on Earth or if you're some bankster gangster that wants to keep your fraudulent fiat
money scheme afloat, our corrupt politicians are just what the doctor ordered.
A guy named 'Dr Pizza' who had a pizza emoji next to his name, who tweeted often that
Pizzagate was completely made up and once to the effect that "why would pedophiles put
badges that could identify them up online" was arrested for being a pedophile and then
subsequently came out he had constantly argued for relaxations on things like child porn
and sexual-related issues.
The bastards just love molesting our minds as well. Who can deny that they enjoy it even
more when they ply their perversions in our faces? It should also be crystal clear that the
gratuitous Isreali sniping and crippling and a thousand other outrageous crimes against
humanity stimulate the hell out of the perverts.
When will people finally get it through their heads that politics is all about
domination , most often in perverted and sadistic forms?
@Jimmy R I'm no Catholic, but it's long been obvious that the incessant harping on the
Church's pedophilia is a twofer; it's not only a huge smear campaign, but it's no doubt worth
$$ to the usual suspects. Look what the Commies did to religious folk in the former USSR and
to the largely Christian Germany, and tell me that there's no connection.
Sadistic perverts rule with the consistent support of the "great" US moneyed ruling
classes while the drooling rubes and dupes do their part as well.
@Jimmy R It is all about stopping the Catholic Church from having a voice to oppose Zion
BC wars and coups. The Jewish Zionists want to continue the mass destruction of our planet
without any back talk.
Planted Memories is a good trick to silence any organization and a big one like the
Catholic Church.
Planted memories have used since the 1990s against the Catholic Church in a big way. After
the end of the cold war, the ZUS wanted wars for Zion mania. No back talk allowed from any
one or group is "allowed". This planted memories games works like a charm and has been used
over and over again on the Catholic Church to silence it. It allows the wars and the coups
for Zion BC go on and on endlessly with no back talk. It is a common trick for many cases
these days.
"There is no credible scientific support for the idea that we can take eleven years of
brutalization and banish it into the unconscious and then undergo some therapy which is
going to make us aware of it," Dr. Loftus reported as she discussed the Holly Ramona case,
"and yet these kinds of things were being introduced into court cases throughout the 1990s
and into the 2000s and still today." While her outspoken opposition to recovered memory has
led to her being targeted by feminist and victims' rights groups over the years (including
the controversial "Jane Doe case"), Dr. Loftus continues to stand by her own research into
false memory.
Regarding the fabled photos of J Edgar Hoover in a woman's dress and with his gay lover, held
as successful blackmail by the Jewish mob & Meyer Lansky, Ms Whitney Webb says in her
Mint Press News series on Epstein connections:
Anthony Summers, former BBC journalist and author of 'Official and Confidential: The
Secret Life of J. Edgar Hoover', has argued that it was not Lansky, but William Donovan,
the director of the OSS, who obtained the original photos of Hoover and later shared them
with Lansky.
Ms Webb argues for a quite long series of connections between the USA-Canadian Jewish
& Italian mobs going back a century, the paedophile and under-age-sex-slave blackmail
groups, and the USA & Israel intel agencies. Her series is quite something, the first two
installments: https://www.mintpressnews.com/shocking-origins-jeffrey-epstein-blackmail-roy-cohn/260621/ https://www.mintpressnews.com/blackmail-jeffrey-epstein-trump-mentor-reagan-era/260760/
Many connections are indeed striking. Trump's current USA Attorney General Barr (born 1950)
& his father Donald Barr (1921-2004), were both CIA-intel officers & both linked to
Epstein. William was CIA officer 1973-77, the CIA supporting him going to law school, father
Donald with OSS & Bill Donovan the CIA predecessor during WW2.
Barr's later law firm Kirkland & Ellis represented Epstein; Donald Barr, when NYC
Dalton School headmaster, gave Jeffrey Epstein his first job, teaching teen-age girls &
boys 1973-75, whilst William Barr was at the CIA. Father Donald Barr was fascinated by sex
slavery as much as Epstein apparently, Barr authoring a 1973 fantasy novel on the subject,
'Space Relations: A Slightly Gothic Interplanetary Tale" book published when Jeffrey Epstein
was his underling & school-teacher of teens.
Ms Webb recounts multiple child molestation and political blackmail groups -- which had a
collective name, 'Bodies from God' -- all linking ultimately with Jeffrey Epstein, intel
agencies, and Jewish mobsters; Lansky etc., and such as the Bronfmans of Canada, the
Bronfmans in 1991 joining with Epstein's patron & the original buyer of his New York City
mansion, Les Wexner, to found the 'Mega Group' of 20 or so Zionist Jewish billionaires who
are now often perceived to be the Mossad-backed money source for Epstein. A short list of
these groups and persons mentioned by Webb

Pizzagate" is a debunked conspiracy theory that went viral during the 2016 United States
presidential election cycle.[2][3][4] It has been extensively discredited by a wide range
of organizations, including the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of
Columbia.[3][4][5]
Some of Pizzagate's proponents, including David Seaman and Michael G. Flynn (Michael
Flynn's son), have evolved the conspiracy into a broader government conspiracy called
"Pedogate". According to this theory, a "satanic cabal of elites" of the New World Order
operates international child sex trafficking rings.[27]
One of the victims filed a federal lawsuit. Once filed, this is public record. The only
redactions allowed are social security numbers and the like.
When the Miami Herald went to obtain the Motion for Summary Judgment, it was completely
redacted. 137 pages of blacked out paragraphs.
A motion for summary judgment is basically saying there are no material issues in dispute-
nothing to litigate. This document would contain all relevant facts about the case.
This type of redaction is unheard, unprecedented- appalling.
The only reason the Herald is in pursuit ( and any other MSM) is because they believed it
would destroy Trump.
It's now on appeal. If the redactions stand, we should riot in the street. We knew justice
was bought, but pedophilia usually will stir up some dregs of bureaucratic slugs to
action.
And with a parallel to McCain, if Clinton slithers out of this- with over 27 flights on
the Lolita Express- he is officially the most untouchable man in history.
Once you start researching the Epstein matter- not for the lurid details- but the
unprecedented, jaw dropping preferential treatment of an actual human sex trafficker ( not
this fake #metoo hysteria)
-- all hope is lost.
Note the strange silence from Hollywood and the elites regarding Epstein's victims, when
they were wearing hair shirts over Christine Fords 30 year old accusation.
A wealthy smug scold, who looks like an exploded can of rotten biscuit dough had them
weeping on camera.
Dozens of little girls -- all poor and from fatherless backgrounds marred by parental drug
abuse, suicides and physical abuse- selected and sexually devastated by Epstein- not a
word.
Ron Unz says: " ..at the core of our hugely corrupted political system .."
So whats to be done? Isn't that the big question here?
I believe that its only with the an understanding of the true, 100% corrupt nature of the
state, that real-world solutions to the massive [ and progressively worse] problems it causes
in society can be worked out and then implemented.
Ron, the big picture here that you, like most, either genuinely don't see [ or
conveniently refuse to see] is this:
The True Nature of All Governments:
"Because they are all ultimately funded via both direct and indirect theft [taxes], and
counterfeiting [via central bank monopolies], all governments are essentially, at their very
cores, 100% corrupt criminal scams which cannot be "reformed","improved", nor "limited" in
scope, simply because of their innate criminal nature." onebornfree
"Taking the State wherever found, striking into its history at any point, one sees no way
to differentiate the activities of its founders, administrators and beneficiaries from those
of a professional-criminal class." Albert J. Nock
"Government is a disease masquerading as its own cure." Robert LeFevre
Without an generally accepted understanding of the true nature of all states and
governments, we are lost, as far as I can see.
@Jimmy R Also, there is a major distinction: child abuse in the Catholic Church is
committed by isolated individuals whose sole responsibility is involved when the crime is
committed. It is not institutionalised, pre-planned and organised by a group, as it is within
the political establishment.
It is the same difference as between a criminal and organised crime, and it is a major
difference, in magnitude and in nature.
I actually highly reccomend a film called "Eyes Wide Shut."
The film, which stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, was directed by the late Stanley
Kubrick and released back in 1999. It was extremely hyped at the time, especially given that
Kubrick died several days after completing the film.
While I won't summarize the entire film, there is one very important scene in which Tom
Cruise's character sneaks into a large New York mansion and stumbles upon a Satanic sexual
ritual/orgy. At the ritual/orgy, there are various individuals in costumes&masks who
engage in debauched sexual practices with sex slaves. Later in the movie, one of the men
there (who happens to be a prominent local Jewish socialite) tells Tom Cruise's character
that the Satanic sexual gathering was full of very important and powerful local figures. Tom
Cruise's character is ominously threatened into silence. At the end of the film, Tom Cruise
and Nicole Kidman allow their young daughter to be taken by the Satanic sexual abusers.
After he was finished with the movie, Stanley Kubrick showed it to execs from Warner
Brothers for the first time. They ended up getting into a contentious argument over the film.
The next day, Kubrick (who was a very healthy man) was announced dead of a heart attack.
Around 30 minutes of the film was later edited out by Warner Brothers before it was released.
Supposedly (and this has NOT been confirmed) there were scenes of child sexual abuse in the
original that Kubrick made, but this was edited out.
The movie would go on to become very popular in "conspiracy" circles. Many of these people
said that Kubrick (who was notoriously reclusive, enigmatic, and fond of "conspiracy
theories") was exposing the secret world of the Illuminati and their debauched sexual
practices, including their sexual enslavement of children.
There are very interesting similarities between the movie's Satanic sexual gathering and
an eerie real life Rothschild ball held back in 1972 (at one of the family mansions). The
movie even used a Rothschild mansion (Mentmore Towers) as the setting for the Satanic sexual
orgy.
When you hear all the allegations being made against Epstein, it makes you wonder. The New
York mansion. The weird Occult/Satanic temple on his island. The really young women coerced
into orgies. The hordes of wealth, famous, and powerful people who "partied" with Epstein.
The threats made against journalists and accusers who've come forward. The Jewish connection.
The Rothschild connection (Dershowitz was introduced to Epstein by the Rothschilds). The
Royal family and Prince Andrew connection ("Eyes Wide Shut" had a character with the surname
"Windsor"). There are many similarities to "Eyes Wide Shut."
If we assume that the Illuminati (or a similar elite society) actually exists, maybe it
makes sense that they would invite powerful people to attend their parties and engage in
debauched sexual acts, especially with the underaged. By encouraging this, the society would
get blackmail material on the elite of society. Once those elites were under blackmail,
they'd be puppets. These compromised elites would also be willing to recruit more new members
and bring them to the sexual parties.
So perhaps Epstein started off by befriending a few of the elite (with the Mossad helping
facilitate the social interaction). He then invited them to some type of perverse sexual
party. Once Epstein got tapes and pictures of them, these elites then became Israeli pawns
and also became willing to invite their elite friends to the parties.
That may explain why Epstein became so popular and why no one was willing to take him
down. That may also explain why everyone quoted in news articles always used to mention his
supposed "brilliance."
Even Newsweek noted the similarity between "Eyes Wide Shut" and the Epstein situation.
If you're interested in seeing the ritual that I mentioned above, here's a short video
from the movie. I wouldn't be surprised if Epstein was doing something similar to this in his
Occult/Satanic temple on his island.
What this article should convince everyone of is that 'rules but no rulers' makes perfect
sense. That's what real anarchism means -- rules but no rulers. If your immediate mental
picture was of a bomb thrower, then your mind has been successfully infiltrated by the powers
that shouldn't be.
Why is it that one person with the title of 'President' can declare things that affect the
lives of millions of USians and billions world wide. No one should have that much power.
"The way to get rid of corruption in high places is to get rid of high places." -- Frank
Chodorov
If the deep state has managed to install their puppets in positions of authority shouldn't
we all be trying to get rid of the positions of authority instead of rotating through that
position replaceable candidates offered up by the deep state political parties?
If you vote, you are tacitly approving of a system that has enslaved your mind.
If you're not an anarchist, you are part of the problem.
Kudos, Ron Unz. Excellent article and a useful tutorial on the hidden control mechanism of
what the late Paul A. Samuelson called our "democratic oligarchy".
I applaud your parlor joke:
" that perhaps the best career move for an ambitious young politician would be to
secretly commit some monstrous crime and then make sure that the hard evidence of his guilt
ended up in the hands of certain powerful people, thereby assuring his rapid political
rise."
A great French investigative reporter crafted an unfunny version:
"Indeed, under our putative system of democracy, especially since JFK, the oligarchy
will not allow the election of any candidate who cannot be blackmailed."
-- Thierry Meyssan, Before our very eyes -- fake wars and big lies from 9/11 to Donald
Trump , p. 146.
He had just described the 911 caper as a Cheney-led deep-state coup to activate the secret
but long-standing CoG procedure to sideline the Constitution. It succeeded when clueless
Dubya was reinstated as figure-head president within 24 hours after agreeing to the clique's
CoG (continuity of government) agenda, including the planned wars.
No wonder the shenannigans of compromised office-holding puppets (actors, really) and
their shadowy string-pullers never seem to be known to their spear-carriers in MSM.
McCain was a psycopath and a traitor and proof of the zionists love of war and killers was
their praise for this psycopath in his death and funeral and on the other hand no mention was
ever made about the crime committed against the crew of the USS Liberty by the joint Israeli
and zio/US attack on the Liberty, this shows how f##ked up this zionist ruled country has
become!
Get and read the book Blood in the Water by Joan Mellen about the joint Israeli and zio/US
attack on the Liberty, who McCains father participated in the cover up of this war crime!
The number one career choice for aspiring crooks and fuckups is politics .McCain with
his punk complex temper couldn't have held on to job anywhere else.
Perverts and psychopaths as well.
" nobody is going to be a thief with me as his accomplice,

Now do not be vexed with me when I speak the truth. For there is no human being who will
preserve his life if he genuinely opposes either you or any other multitude and prevents
many unjust and unlawful things from happening in the city. Rather, if someone who
really fights for the just is going to preserve himself even for a short time, it is
necessary for him to lead a private rather than a public life.
@Jimmy R The Diocese of Rockville Centre, where I live, has released a list of 61 priests
accused of sexual misconduct. The Diocese of Newark, NJ has released a list of 82 priests.
The Diocese of Brooklyn, NY has released a list of 108 priests. The Diocese of NY has
released a list of 120. That's a lot more than eight, and I think if the Church is willing to
give us this many names, there are probably quite a few who managed to fly under the radar.
I was raised a Catholic and really wish I didn't have to accept this reality. I've read
stories that the Church was infiltrated in the 20th century, and perhaps it's true, but maybe
it's been going on for a very long time. It does seem to be a bit unnatural for a man to
become celibate, and that might be one of the reasons so many deviants were attracted to the
priesthood, I don't know. I do know I never trusted any of them alone with my kids and I'd
advise others to do the same.
It's a shame, because as a society we need some kind of moralistic code, but the Church
has failed, or is at least failing, at this time in its history.
'He bragged she was his sex slave': Jeffrey Epstein 'purchased Nadia Marcinkova as a girl from her
family, shot child porn of her with underage teen and forced her into threesomes'
WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT
Nada Marcinkova, who now goes by Nadia, was one of Epstein's victims as well as
an enabler according to interviews with victims back in 2005
An incident report obtained by DailyMail.com reveals she was as young as 15
when she first began having sex with Epstein and other victims
She was forced to have sex with at least three other women, two of whom were
underage, while Epstein would watch and perform sex acts on himself
'Epstein had purchased her from her family in Yugoslavia,' wrote Detective
Joseph Recarey after his interview with one victim
'Epstein bragged he brought her into the United States to be his Yugoslavian
sex slave,' Detective Recarey said after speaking to that same victim
She was granted immunity as part of Epstein's 2008 plea deal, despite never
being identified as a person to criminally charge in the case
The foreign-born model who many have identified as an accomplice in
procuring underage girls for Jeffrey Epstein is just as much a victim of the serial pedophile, according
to official reports.
Incident reports from the Palm Beach Police Department's 2005 investigation
that were obtained by DailyMail.com claim that Epstein told at least one underage victim that Nada
Marcinkova was his 'Yugoslavian sex slave.'
Multiple girls also state that Epstein made them engage in sexual acts with
Marcinkova, which eventually turned into threesomes with both himself and the model.
'Epstein had purchased her from her family in Yugoslavia,' wrote Detective
Joseph Recarey after his interview with one victim.
'Epstein bragged he brought her into the United States to be his
Yugoslavian sex slave.'

Scene: An incident report obtained by DailyMail.com reveals she was as young
as 15 when she first began having sex with Epstein and other victims at his Palm Beach home (above)
Marcinkova would have been underage during most of the alleged incidents
described by the victims to Detective Recarey.
She was no older then 16 when she and another underage victim were
allegedly forced to stimulate each other manually, orally and with toys while Epstein watched them and
pleasured himself in the bed.
That same unnamed girl broke down in tears while revealing she had been to
Epstein's Palm Beach mansion hundreds of times in a two-year period and made thousands of dollars.
At first she was paid extra to perform an oral sex act on Marcinkova, then
each week 'things continued to escalate', states the incident report.
She said that she was 'adamant... that no vaginal penetration would occur
with [Epstein],' but then that too did occur while she was underage, she told Detective Recarey.
On one occasion, the date of which he could not recall, Epstein allegedly
raped that victim after she and Marcinkova had engaged in an oral sex act to completion.
'She said her head was being held against the bed forcibly... she screamed
no and Epstein stopped,' said the report.
Soon after this, the victim said that Epstein purchased a '2005 Doge [sic]
Neon, blue in color for her personal use.'
'Epstein bragged he brought her into the United States to be his Yugoslavian sex slave,' Detective Recarey said after speaking to that same victim (Epstein above in 2008)"
Another woman also detailed a similar progression of events, starting with
massages and leading into sexual encounters with Marcinkova.
That victim, who was of age during all visits to the house as she first met
Epstein at 18, told Detective Recarey she also performed oral sex acts on Epstein but refused his
directive to bring around other young girls.
She also claimed that she was once directed to perform a manual sex act on
herself while watching Epstein have sex with Marcinkova.
Another victim, who told police she began having sexual relations with
Marcinkova at 16, said that Epstein took pictures of the two and actually displayed them around his
home.
These incidents make it clear that Marcinkova was also an alleged victim of
Epstein.
She would later move into more of a procurement role, according to court
documents, and eventually cut ties with Epstein.
Marcinkova was granted immunity as part of Epstein's 2008 deal despite the
fact that no charges would likely have been filed against her based on the police investigation.
She was actually born in the former Czechoslovakia just four years before
the Velvet Revolution, which precipitated the non-violent transition of power in the country.
At some point she and her family did move to Yugoslavia. In recent years,
she has changed her surname and Americanized her first name, going by Nadia.
Jeffrey Epstein's longtime personal pilots have been subpoenaed by federal prosecutors in Manhattan, according to the
Wall Street Journal . The grand jury subpoenaes were served earlier this month following Epstein's July 6 arrest at Teterboro
Airport in New Jersey on charges of sex-trafficking minors. He has pleaded not guilty to the yearslong scheme in which prosecutors
allege the wealthy financier sexually abused dozens of young girls from 2002 to 2005, some of whom recruited other victims.
It is unknown how many of Epstein's pilots were subpoenaed, or whether they are cooperating witnesses. According to court documents
from prior cases, Epstein employed David Rodgers, Larry Visoski, Larry Morrison and Bill Hammond as pilots and flight engineers.
Rogers, Visoski and Morrison have previously testified in civil depositions.
Testimony from the pilots could be used by federal investigators in their efforts to corroborate accounts from Mr. Epstein's
accusers. They could also provide detail on Mr. Epstein's travels and his associates. Some of the pilots were responsible for
keeping flight logs of passengers who flew on Mr. Epstein's private jet, according to court filings. -
Wall Street Journal
While prosecutors claimed that Epstein owns two private jets, the registered sex offender's attorneys said in a court filing earlier
this month that he owns one private jet, and "sold the other jet in June 2019." Considering that he was arrested after returning
from Paris in his Gulfstream G550, per Bloomberg , it suggests that Epstein sold his infamous and evidence-rich Boeing 272-200 known
as the "Lolita Express"
weeks
before his arrest .
Women in civil lawsuits have accused Mr. Epstein of conspiring with his pilots and other associates from at least 1998 to 2002
to facilitate sex abuse and avoid law-enforcement detection . One woman has said in court filings that when she was a minor in
2000, Mr. Epstein transported her regularly on his private jet to be sexually exploited by his associates and friends . -
Wall Street Journal
According to flight logs, former President Bill Clinton flew on the "Lolita Express" a total of 27 times . "Many of those times
Clinton had his Secret Service with him and many times he did not," according to investigative journalist Conchita Sarnoff - who
first revealed the former president's extensive flights on Epstein's "lolita express" in a 2010
Daily Beast exposé.
Clinton claimed in a statement earlier
this month that he only took "a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epstein's airplane" in 2002 and 2003, and that Secret Service accompanied
him at all times - which Sarnoff told Fox News was a
total lie
.
"I know from the pilot logs and these are pilot logs that you know were written by different pilots and at different times that
Clinton went, he was a guest of Epstein's 27 times ," said Sarnoff.
Other famous guests include actor Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker, who flew with Clinton to Africa to tour HIV/AIDS project sites,
according to New York Magazine in 2002, which notes how
much Epstein revered the former president.
Lawyers for some of Epstein's accusers alleged in a 2015 court filing that flight logs provided by Epstein pilot Rodgers were
incomplete, and that they will corroborate their accusations of being trafficked by Epstein and his associates when they were underage
.
"It would not be surprising to find that some of these flight logs were likely designed to hide evidence of criminal activity
-- or perhaps later cleansed of such evidence," wrote the lawyers.
Investigators may be interested in asking Mr. Epstein's pilots whether they witnessed any efforts by Mr. Epstein to interfere
with law enforcement, according to legal experts. In recent court filings, prosecutors have
accused Mr. Epstein of tampering with witnesses , an allegation that Mr. Epstein's lawyers denied in court.
Federal prosecutors in Miami and Mr. Epstein's lawyers in 2007 negotiated over the possibility of Mr. Epstein pleading guilty
to obstruction of justice, including for an incident involving one of his pilots, according to emails that became public in civil
lawsuits. -
Wall Street Journal
Interestingly, prosecutors confirmed that there are " uncharged individuals " in Epstein's case. Aside from his close associate
and Clinton pal Ghislaine Maxwell - his 'madam,' could the pilots be on that list?"
"... Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of Robert Maxwell and girlfriend and "Nazi guard" for Epstein"s child sex stable also ran a fake charity closed day ago called Terra Mar. The FBI is now investigating if the charity was used to pay off Epstein/Maxwell child rape victims. ..."
"... The UK Guardian and Transparify.org list the think tank now run by General McMaster and tied to Platero, Maxwell and Epstein as invisibly funded and "deceptive." ..."
Following the bread crumbs from Epstein has led to a fake charity and from there to General
McMaster, former National Security Advisor to Donald Trump, who now heads a reputedly fake
London based think tank secretly funded by money laundered through the repressive Bahraini
royal family.
But there is more.
Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of Robert Maxwell and girlfriend and "Nazi guard" for
Epstein"s child sex stable also ran a fake charity closed day ago called Terra Mar. The FBI is
now investigating if the charity was used to pay off Epstein/Maxwell child rape
victims.
The charity takes us further into Maxwell's den of Mossad partnerships. Most serious of all
are those through her lifelong friend Calfo Platero, who ties Epstein and Maxwell to the highly
disreputable London based Institute for Strategic Studies. The UK Guardian and
Transparify.org list the think tank now run by General McMaster and tied to Platero, Maxwell
and Epstein as invisibly funded and "deceptive." However, in 2016, the organization that
McMaster joined when he left the Trump White House in 2018 admitted to taking secret funding
from the rulers of Bahrain under an agreement that they would keep the funding secret.
Bahrain has been cited with numerous human rights abuses and an attempt to murder an
American diplomat and blame it on Iran. Middle East Eye confirmed Bahrain's involvement, a
major "revolving door" scandal for a high level Trump appointee.
"Following a series of investigative reports by the Miami Herald
earlier this year, Deutsche Bank followed suit, severing ties with the wealthy financier.
Doing so proved difficult for the bank, as its antiquated systems. " On a number of
occasions, Deutsche Bank executives had thought they had shut down all of Mr. Epstein's
accounts , only to learn that there were others that they had not previously been aware of,"
according to the Times . By late spring, there were still transactions occurring in
Epstein's Deutsche Bank accounts, however company officials now believe they have closed them
all down."
They had no investigative people working for them, and somehow did not read newspapers
from Miami at the time. They also have, and always have had, antiquated systems even though
they are a large bank. Who does this make sense to?
"... A reporter at Wired tried to look into Marcinko's past to parse whether she was a willing, or unwilling, participant in Epstein's crimes, and whether she was also one of his youngest victims. Some of Epstein's other victims told police that Marcinko pressured them to sleep with both her and Epstein. Though her history of flying with Epstein is harder to pin down due to Epstein's record-keeping practices (he only recorded the first names of underage girls in flight logs, if at all), but it's become clear that during her first decade in the country, from roughly 2000 to the beginning of Epstein's prison sentence, she frequently flew between Epstein's properties in New York, Palm Beach, Monterey, Columbus, Ohio and the Azores. A pilot who once worked for Epstein testified that she had flown with him hundreds of times. ..."
"... Marcinko's relationship with Epstein presumably ended when she was given immunity from prosecution in 2008 after being named an accomplice. It's still not entirely clear how she came to live with Epstein. Was she 'sold' to him by family members in Bratislava? Or did she run away with him willingly, hoping for a more glamorous life? ..."
"... Whatever happened, as Wired claims, Marcinko is part of a small group of people who are both victims of Epstein and possible abusers. ..."
While anybody even remotely familiar with the Epstein story knows that his actions were irredeemably heinous, there are other
characters in Epstein's orbit - characters who may have participated in what appears to be a global sex-trafficking ring - who are
more complicated.
One of those characters is a 32-year-old model named Nadia Marcinko. Marcinko, who was once described in court documents as Epstein's
"in-house sex slave" was ferried out of Slovakia on Epstein's private jet when she was just 15, and lived with the billionaire for
years after,
Wired reports.
Now working as a commercial pilot, Marcinko is clearly hoping the media will gloss over her involvement with Epstein. She refuses
to talk to reporters, and even uses a slightly modified version of her last name (she was once known as Nadia Marcinkova).
A reporter at Wired tried to look into Marcinko's past to parse whether she was a willing, or unwilling, participant in Epstein's
crimes, and whether she was also one of his youngest victims. Some of Epstein's other victims told police that Marcinko pressured
them to sleep with both her and Epstein. Though her history of flying with Epstein is harder to pin down due to Epstein's record-keeping
practices (he only recorded the first names of underage girls in flight logs, if at all), but it's become clear that during her first
decade in the country, from roughly 2000 to the beginning of Epstein's prison sentence, she frequently flew between Epstein's properties
in New York, Palm Beach, Monterey, Columbus, Ohio and the Azores. A pilot who once worked for Epstein testified that she had flown
with him hundreds of times.
Marcinko's relationship with Epstein presumably ended when she was given immunity from prosecution in 2008 after being named
an accomplice. It's still not entirely clear how she came to live with Epstein. Was she 'sold' to him by family members in Bratislava?
Or did she run away with him willingly, hoping for a more glamorous life?
Whatever happened, as
Wired claims, Marcinko is part of a small group of people who are both victims of Epstein and possible abusers.
Her testimony could again be useful. That is, if she ultimately avoids being implicated as a 'rape facilitator'.
This type of adult behavior is really common among prior child sex victims, even younger than what they are stating here.
If children get sex instead of parenting and nurturing they equate sex with love and their only value. They later often turn
into over sexualized 'desperate attention whores'. They could easily help abuse others to stay in the game for their desperation
for attention validation.
This is probably the closest thing Epstein had to a mate. You can see that he cant bond with people, there is only sex, narcissism
and objectifying. Business deal is as close as he gets.
Read the Wired article. She is portrayed as both not necessarily in that order. They theorize she may have been sold to JE
or maybe he simply took her before eh engaged in recruitment and abuse herself. They conclude with:
"It's all too sad, and anyone who is said to have entered bondage at 15, and was forced to act as a sex slave, deserves much,
much better."
No its Mossad. His partner chick Maxwell's father even had an Mossad Israeli state funeral. Although the CIA is subservient
to Mossad, so same thing in the end.
That's why the Israeli Mossad guys caught in Sept 11 were eventually released.
Australia has become the first country in the world to recognise so-called orphanage trafficking as a form of modern-day slavery.
The vast majority of children living in "orphanages" in developing nations are not true orphans. About 80%
have a living parent or family .
Such institutions are often run for the profit of their owners. They are sustained by well-meaning western tourists who visit
to donate or volunteer their time.
We have a very short summary this time, but the GTRP Diagram is the Value. In this post we look at the information available

Cohn also had a protégé of his own: a young, up-and-coming real-estate developer named Donald J. Trump. And though Trump
and Cohn's relationship spanned from the early 1970s until a few months before Cohn's death, in 1986 (Trump abandoned his mentor

This girl is all over the internet profiling her piloting of planes.........
Narcissism in a woman is twice as bad as in a man............
The story of Narcissus dates back to ancient Greece. It was said that this young man was the son of a nymph named Liriope,
and the river deity and personification of the river, Cephissus. Narcissus was raised in Boeotia (a region in central Greece)
and grew into an extremely handsome youth. However, he never found anyone he thought was as attractive as he was; he left a string
of broken-hearted girls (and a few young men) everywhere he went.
until one day Narcissus happened to see his own reflection in the water. He had finally found someone he found truly attractive:
himself. He tried to kiss the image, but only created a ripple in the water that hid the reflection. Obsessed with his love for
his own image, but never able to touch it, he wasted away and eventually died of hunger and thirst.
The term and the Greek story are not connected. Narcs actually hate themselves deep down and tend to only associate with those
who either make them look good or they can dominate.
A nitro story, and from what seems already apparent, one of breathtaking dimension. This would be the swamp dam break. The
scumbags who would go down ... limited only by one's imagination. True justice in this case would be the correction the U.S. needs
to really get back to greatness. It would be the story of our times ... for the ages.
Any networks covering this? Are the masses being informed? Does the guy sitting next to you, standing behind you, mowing your
lawn, stocking the shelves .... do they know who Epstein is? Nope, and the story is getting buried.
If the Clintons have the most to lose over a thorough investigation of Epstein's sexual abuse of minors then Epstein does not
have long. People posing a threat to Team Clinton usually have accidents and disappear. This is going to get much uglier for swamp
dwellers.
"Epstein also made E.W. perform oral sex on him and was to perform sex acts on Nadia Marcinkova [pictured above, on right]

Epstein and the Explosive Crisis of the Deep State
July 15, 2019
Since the battle is for the legitimacy of the state, it must be waged at least partially
in the open.
Speculations by outsiders must give Deep State insiders many opportunities to chuckle,
"if only they knew." We don't know, of course, and public leaks are engineered to misdirect
our attention from what's actually going on or "frame" our understanding in a positive way.
Decades later, history reveals a very ordinary mix of great successes and horrific
failure in secret operations , caused by errors of judgment, faulty intelligence, poor
planning and so on. In other words, life isn't tidy, either inside or outside the Deep
State.
Nonetheless we can postulate a few things with some certainty. One is that the Deep
State-- the unelected, permanent government which includes not just the intelligence community
but a vast array of agencies and institutions as well as the top-level structures of diplomacy,
finance and geopolitics--is not monolithic. There are different views and competing camps, but
the disagreements and bureaucratic wars are kept out of sight.
Two, we know that at critical junctures of history one camp wins the narrative battle and
establishes the over-riding direction of state policy. Put another way, one camp's
understanding of the era's most pressing problems becomes the consensus, and from then on
disagreements are within the broad outlines of the dominant ideology.
The end of World War II was a critical juncture. The proper role of the U.S. in the
postwar era was up for grabs, and over the course of a few years, the CIA and other
intelligence agencies were established and the doctrine of containment of the Soviet Union
became the dominant narrative, a narrative that held with remarkable consistency for four
decades until the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.
This collapse was another critical juncture, and debates over America's role in this
"unipolar era" were finally settled in favor of the geopolitical-activist ideology of
neoconservatism (Neocons).
This globalist ideology led to a variety of policy disasters and is now discredited in many
circles, and has been under attack within the Deep State for some time. This is the divided
Deep State I've written about for the past five years.
The failures of Neocon globalism have ushered in another critical juncture. What is
America's proper role in a multi-polar world that is fracturing across multiple faultlines?
This critical juncture is a manifestation of a broader profound political disunity in
America and many other nations.
The corporate media has obligingly portrayed this profound political disunity as a
contest between "good globalism" and "bad populism," a clear attempt to smear all those who see
the dark side of globalism as a threat to the nation and indeed the world. This bias reflects
the continued dominance of the Neocon-globalist camp.
But the cracks are now visible. The mainstream "influential" press has recently been
publishing critiques admitting the failures of Neocon globalism and agonizing about how to
"save" the globalist agenda despite its failures.
I have long held that there is a camp within the Deep State that grasps the end-game of
Neocon globalism, and is busy assembling a competing nation-centric strategy. There is
tremendous resistance to the abandonment of Neocon globalism, not just from those who see power
slipping through their fingers but from all those firmly committed to the hubris of a magical
faith in past success as the guarantor of future success.
Michael Grant described this complacent clinging to what's failed in his excellent account
The Fall of the Roman Empire , a short book I have been recommending since 2009:
There was no room at all, in these ways of thinking, for the novel, apocalyptic situation
which had now arisen, a situation which needed solutions as radical as itself. (The Status Quo)
attitude is a complacent acceptance of things as they are, without a single new idea.
This acceptance was accompanied by greatly excessive optimism about the present and
future. Even when the end was only sixty years away, and the Empire was already crumbling fast,
Rutilius continued to address the spirit of Rome with the same supreme assurance.
This blind adherence to the ideas of the past ranks high among the principal causes of
the downfall of Rome. If you were sufficiently lulled by these traditional fictions, there
was no call to take any practical first-aid measures at all.
The faction within the Deep State that no longer accepts traditional fictions is
gaining ground, and now another fracture in the Deep State is coming to the fore: the
traditionalists who accept the systemic corruption of self-serving elites and those who have
finally awakened to the mortal danger to the nation posed by amoral self-serving elites.
The debauchery of morals undermines the legitimacy of the state and thus of the entire
power structure. As I recently noted in Following in Rome's Footsteps:
Moral Decay, Rising Inequality (June 29, 2019), America's current path of moral decay and
soaring wealth/power inequality is tracking Rome's collapse step for step.
Enter the sordid case of Jeffrey Epstein, suddenly unearthed after a decade of
corporate-media/elitist suppression. It's laughable to see the corporate media's pathetic
attempts to glom onto the case now, after actively suppressing it for decades: Jeffrey
Epstein Was a Sex Offender. The Powerful Welcomed Him Anyway. (New York Times) Where was
the NYT a decade ago, or five years ago, or even a year ago?
Of all the questions that are arising, the signal one is simply: why now? There are
many questions, now that the dead-and-buried case has been dug up: where did Epstein get his
fortune? Why did he return to the U.S. from abroad, knowing he'd be arrested? Why was the
Miami Herald suddenly able to publish numerous articles exposing the scandalous
suppression of justice after 11 years of silence? Years later, victims recount
impact of Jeffrey Epstein abuse .
Here's my outsider's take: the anti-Neocon camp within the Deep State observed the test
case of Harvey Weinstein and saw an opportunity to apply what it learned. If we draw
circles representing the anti-Neocon camp and the moralists who grasp the state's legitimacy is
hanging by a thread after decades of amoral exploitation and self-aggrandizement by the ruling
elites, we would find a large overlap.
But even die-hard Neocons are starting to awaken to the danger to their power posed by the
moral collapse of the ruling elites. They are finally awakening to the lesson of history, that
the fatal danger to empires arises not from external foes but from inside the center of power
as elite corruption erodes the legitimacy of the state.
The upstarts in the Deep State have united to declare open war on the degenerates and
their enablers, who are everywhere in the Deep State: the media, the intelligence
community, and on and on.
Since the battle is for the legitimacy of the state, it must be waged at least partially
in the open. This is a war for the hearts and minds of the public, whose belief in the
legitimacy of the state and its ruling elites underpins the power of the Deep State.
If this wasn't a war over the legitimacy of the state, the housecleaning would have been
discrete. Insiders would be shuffled off to a corporate boardroom or do-nothing/fancy title
office, or they'd retire, or if necessary, they'd die of a sudden heart attack or in a tragic
accident ( if only they knew ).
The cockroaches are scurrying, and the challenge now is to crush as many as possible
before they find cover. Bullies are at heart cowards, and once the bullies who were
untouchable due to powerful friends in powerful places are exposed to an accounting of their
behavior, they will spill the beans on everyone in a craven attempt to lighten the consequences
of their corruption and debauchery.
Power is a funny thing: when it dissipates suddenly, it dissipates completely.
All those who were confident they were untouchable might want to heed this sign:
carefully fall into the cliff .
The hidden conflicts within the Deep State are emerging, and the resulting crisis will be
explosive. Remember, the housecleaning must be public or the legitimacy of the state will
go over the cliff. If the Deep State wants to retain its power, it must root out the corrupt
degenerates before they bring down the entire rotten structure.
https://acdn.adnxs.com/ib/static/usersync/v3/async_usersync.html The Nobility of the
feudal era had some reciprocal obligation to its serfs; our New Nobility has no obligation to
anyone but themselves. It is painfully obvious that there are two sets of laws in America:
bankers can rip off billions and never serve time, and members of the Protected Class who
sexually exploit children get a wrist-slap, if that.
Here's the sad reality: everybody in the Ruling Elites looked the other way: all the
self-described "patriots" in the Intelligence services, all the technocrats in the Departments
of Justice, State, etc., the Pentagon, and on and on. Everybody with any power knows the whole
class of Ruling Elites is completely corrupt, by definition: to secure power in the U.S.,
you have to sell your soul to the Devil , one way or the other.
Like all Ruling Elites, America's Elites are absolutely confident in their power:
this is hubris taken to new heights.
That the citizenry could finally have enough of their corrupt, self-serving Overlords
does not seem in the realm of possibility to the Protected Few. There's always a way to
lawyer-up and plea-bargain for a wrist-slap, a way to bend another "patriot" (barf), a way to
offer a bribe cloaked as a plum position in a philanthro-capitalist NGO (non-governmental
organization), and so on.
The possibility that moral outrage could spark a revolt seems improbable in such a
distracted culture, but consider the chart below: even the most distracted, fragmented
tribe of the peasantry eventually notices that they're not in the top 1%, or the top 0.1%, and
that the Ruling Elites have overseen an unprecedented concentration of wealth and power into
the hands of the few at the expense of the many:
Jeffrey Epstein
was found injured in his New York City jail cell while awaiting federal sex abuse charges,
according to multiple reports.
The multimillionaire financier, who is accused of sex trafficking underage girls, was found semi-conscious at
the Metropolitan Correctional Center with marks on his neck,
local station NBC New York first reported
, citing sources close to the investigation.
REAL LIFE. REAL NEWS. REAL VOICES.
Help us tell more of the stories that matter from voices that too often remain unheard.
It's not yet clear whether the injuries, which were incurred Tuesday, were self-inflicted or the result of an
assault.
The injuries were not described as serious and prison officials were treating it as a possible suicide attempt,
a law enforcement official who had been briefed on the matter
told The New York Times
.
A spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Prisons in an email to HuffPost on Thursday said Epstein remains
housed at the jail facility, denying reports that he had been taken to a local hospital for treatment.
"As with all inmates, for privacy and security reasons, we do not share information on an inmate's medical
status or their conditions of confinement," the spokesperson added.
Jeffrey Epstein, seen in a photo provided by the New York State Sex Offender Registry, was reportedly found
injured in his jail cell after arrested on sex trafficking charges.
The 66-year-old was arrested on July 6 and last week
denied bail by a judge after prosecutors
labeled him an "extraordinary" flight risk. He has pleaded not
guilty to the charges.
A lawyer for Epstein had said that his client was willing to post up to $100 million to secure his release.
This followed his defense team asking that he be
allowed to await trial under house arrest
in his $77 million Manhattan mansion with electronic monitoring.
But Assistant U.S. Attorney Alex Rossmiller argued against his release, reasoning that investigators found
"piles
of cash," "dozens of diamonds"
and an expired passport with an alias and a Saudi Arabian address during
a search of his mansion.
Epstein's attorneys argued
that the passport had been expired for more than 30 years and had been only used for "personal protection"
while traveling abroad, in case he came upon potential kidnappers, hijackers or terrorists.
Prosecutors noted
that the passport appeared to have been used during entry into France, Spain, the United Kingdom and Saudi
Arabia.
Appalling for both the villainous abuse of children itself and the chilling implications of government by blackmail, this tangled
web of unsavory alliances casts a lurid light on the political history of the U.S. from the Prohibition Era right up through the
Age of Trump. This report, Part II of this series titled "The Jeffrey Epstein Scandal: Too Big To Fail," will delve into Cohn's
close ties to the Reagan administration, which was also closely tied to the same organized crime network led by the infamous mob
figure Meyer Lansky, which was discussed in Part I.
Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire who now sits in jail on federal charges for the sex trafficking of minors, has continued to
draw media scrutiny in the weeks after his arrest on July 6. Part of the reason for this continued media interest is related to
Epstein's alleged relationship to the intelligence services and new information about the true extent of the sexual blackmail
operation Epstein is believed to have run for decades.
As MintPress
reported last week , Epstein was able to run this sordid operation for so long precisely because his was only the latest incarnation
of a much older, more extensive operation that began in the 1950s and perhaps even earlier.
Years later, documents released
by the FBI would show that Epstein became an FBI informant in 2008, when Robert Mueller was the Bureau's director, in exchange
for immunity from then-pending federal charges , a deal that fell through with Epstein's recent arrest on new federal charges.
In addition, former FBI Director Louis Freeh would be hired by Alan Dershowitz, who is accused of raping girls at Epstein's
homes and was once a character witness for Roy Cohn, to intimidate Epstein's victims. As previously mentioned, Freeh's past
appointment as a judge for the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York was orchestrated by Cohn's
law partner Tom Bolan.
Thus, the FBI's cover-up of the Franklin case is just one example of the Bureau's long-standing practice of protecting these
pedophile rings when they involve members of the American political elite and provide the Bureau with a steady supply of blackmail.
It also makes it worth questioning the impartiality of one of the main prosecutors in the Jeffrey Epstein case,
All of this has taken place with the full knowledge and blessing of top figures in the world of "philanthropy" and in the U.S.
government and intelligence communities, with great influence over several presidential administrations, particularly since the
rise of Ronald Reagan and continuing through to Donald Trump.
There is no way to properly excerpt the article without leaving out important information so you can read it yourselves. Whitney
Webb has done an outstanding job piecing together the numerous players who have been involved in child sexual abuse going back
to the prohibition era with the full knowledge of many people high up in government. Reagan, George H.W Bush, many members of
congress, the state department, the FBI and CIA and the Catholic Church. These people turned a blind eye to the suffering of countless
boys and girls just so they could advance whatever sick ..... they wanted.
Epstein was found in his cell in a fetal position with marks on his neck. There are some very powerful people who don't want
him to talk and that he wasn't under protective control already and on suicide watch is unfuckingbelievable. Unless of course
the people who have a lot to lose did it on purpose.
Start with part one of this heinous saga to see how long the PTB have deliberately turned a blind eye to child abuse.

I did a quick "print preview" in FireFox and it looked good. I see FF has a "simplify page" setting now that reduced the size
by a factor of three.
in copy instead of online.... I hate reading long stuff online.
I am reading a a page-turner about the Manson case, CHAOS, by Tom O'Neil. I am only 130 or so pages into it but one thing is
clear: Vincent Bugliosi suborned perjury, concealed evidence and his "helter skelter" theory of the case, the theory on which
The Family were convicted, was an invention.
How does this connect with Epstein? Well, first off it confirms that Bugliosi has been a liar most of his adult life, as while
this is the first book-length criticism of his handling of the case, I think it goes far to show that his role has been the generation
of false narratives for many cases. It also suggests the the LADA office has been infiltrated by people with an amoral violence
who have no allegiance to the truth. And I suspect, by the time I get to the end of the book, that the lines of power will have
extended to many of the other large scandals over the last half-century, meaning that the deepest corridors of power have been
entertaining the American public with gruesome psyops that push the public this way or that.
This is not the first book to criticize Bugliosi's body of work. Jim DiEugenio wrote and then revised a book on all the lies
perpetrated in Bugliosi's "masterpiece" on the JFK murder and its investigation. Lisa Pease hasn't been kind to Bugliosi. Nor
have I. He wrote a foreward to Mark Fuhrman's and then wrote a book of his own on the Brentwood murders, which should make anyone
suspicious of the official prosecution story of that double homicide.
What needs to be reiterated is that the CIA, born out of corrupt Wall Streeters, insanely right-wing generals and a coven of
Nazi war criminals, have performed as one would expect.
The CIA has infiltrated every government agency, allowing the criminals like Stein to operate. Not only allowing them to operate
but to use them as part of their larger goals.
Right now I am on my computer, which is collecting all my information. It has a camera which can get live videos of me without
my say so. We have one of those Alexa thingies that can record things we talk about in our home. I've got a Samsung TV with an
ear open. There are surveillance cameras on every block of our cities.
Can I say this? We are fucked. Grab some popcorn and watch America's rapid demise into full-control fascism.
Heck, how do we know what you've been reading hasn't been a smear campaign to discredit another true enemy of Morgoth?

@The Liberal
Moonbat Didn't read it, but I'd already pretty much figured out that Dubya was deep into the Deep State. And using "al
Qaeda" as a reaon to attack Iraq wasn't too hard to figure out his bullshit. Plus, he used Mueller to cover up 9/11.
Bugliosi is labeled as a liberal, and as such provides margins to what people on the left side of the imaginary aisle are allowed
to think. He's a thought leader, very important in social control. It wouldn't do for a Billy Graham Jr. to be used as a thought
leader of the left, would it?
But a prosecutor who suborns perjury and writes volumes supporting the Warren Commission should raise suspicions by those following
him and his positions. DiEugenio, who wrote THE JFK ASSASSINATION about all of Bugliosi's JFK BS in the JFK assassination, is
a good place to start. CHAOS looks like another place to go.
I'll look up to see what Morgoth is, but attaching some kind of satanic creature to an atheist's analysis of deep politics
smells a little like bad-jacketing.

"... And according to the Beast , "Clinton also failed to mention the intimate 1995 fundraising dinner at the Palm Beach home of Revlon mogul Ron Perelman, where Clinton hobnobbed with the likes of Epstein, Don Johnson, and Jimmy Buffett.

It is unclear what they discussed, or for how long. Middleton did not respond to repeated calls and emails for comment, or to a reporter who visited his home in Arkansas. ..."
Bill Clinton's attempts to distance himself from convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein have
taken yet another blow - after a
Daily Beast investigation reveals that the financier - who came highly recommended by Lynn
Forester de Rothschild - visited the Clinton White House multiple times .
As early as 1993, records show, Epstein donated $10,000 to the White House Historical
Association and attended a donors' reception hosted by Bill and Hillary Clinton. Around the
same time, according to a source familiar with the connection, Epstein visited presidential
aide Mark Middleton several times at the White House . Two years later, businesswoman Lynn
Forester de Rothschild wrote a personal letter to Clinton thanking him for their talk about
the financier . -
Daily Beast
On July 8, the former president sought to distance himself from Epstein, claiming that the
two crossed paths just six times beginning in 2002; "four flights on the billionaire's private
jet, a single trip to his Harlem office, and one "brief visit" to his New York apartment, all
with staff and security detail in tow," per the Beast .
"President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to
in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York,"
Clinton spokesperson, Angel Ureña, told the Beast. " Any suggestion to the contrary is
both factually inaccurate and irresponsible."
Clinton's denial flies in the face of flight logs from Epstein's now-sold 'Lolita Express'
727 jet at least
26 times .
When the president released his initial statement on Epstein, he did not explain the
multiple other trips he appears
to have taken on the financier's plane -- including one flight to Westchester with
Epstein, his alleged madam Ghislaine Maxwell, and an "unnamed female." -
Daily Beast
And according to the Beast , "Clinton also failed to mention the intimate 1995 fundraising
dinner at the Palm Beach home of Revlon mogul Ron Perelman, where Clinton
hobnobbed with the likes of Epstein, Don Johnson, and Jimmy Buffett. (Nearby, at Epstein's
own Palm Beach mansion, the money man allegedly abused hundreds of underage girls.)"
While Politico claimed in a piece last week that the Clintons and Epstein connected through
Epstein's longtime confidant and alleged
procurer of young women - Ghislaine Maxwell, after Clinton left office, documents in
the Clinton Library attest to much earlier links .
In late September of 1993, Bill and Hillary Clinton hosted a reception for supporters who
had contributed to recent White House renovations. The nearly $400,000 overhaul -- which
included new gold draperies and a 13-color woven rug for the Oval Office -- was funded
entirely by donations to the White House Historical Association, a private organization that
helps preserve and promote the White House as a historical monument.
The reception took place at the White House residence from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., according to
a copy of the president's daily schedule. White House Social Secretary Ann Stock -- who
appears in Epstein's
little black book of phone numbers -- was listed as the point of contact . According to
multiple attendees, the evening included an intimate tour of the newly refurbished residence,
followed by a receiving line with the president and first lady. Dessert was served in the
East Room, where the couple thanked everyone for attending and announced the Committee for
the Preservation of the White House.
Guests for the event , according to the invitation list, included the journalist and
philanthropist Barbara Goldsmith, heiress Jane Engelhard, political consultant Cynthia
Friedman, and " Mr Jeffrey Epstein and Ms. Ghislaine Maxwell ." Epstein and Maxwell do not
appear on the 'regret list,' and there is a letter 'A' next to both of their names,
indicating they planned to attend . A press release from the event, put out by Hillary
Clinton's office, lists Epstein as a White House Historical Association donor. -
Daily Beast
Meanwhile, Clinton's college friend A. Paul Prosperi visited Epstein at least 20 times
while he was in the Palm Beach county jail after pleading guilty to procuring an underage
prostitute in 2008. Prosperi was also present at a 1995 Perelman fundraiser at which both
Clinton and Epstein were present.
Another Clinton connection with Epstein comes through White House aide Mark E. Middleton - a
friend of Clinton's from his beginnings in Arkansas who joined the administration in 1993 as
special assistant to Chief of Staff Mack McClarty (another Arkansas insider, per the Beast ).
Middleton would rise to the level of "Deputy to the Counselor" in 1994.
Over that same time period, a source with knowledge of the situation told The Daily
Beast, Middleton met with Epstein in the White House at least three times . It is unclear
what they discussed, or for how long. Middleton did not respond to repeated calls and emails
for comment, or to a reporter who visited his home in Arkansas.
Middleton and Epstein also appear to have shared a famous friend in common. Donald Trump
-- who once called Epstein a "terrific guy" -- sent Middleton a signed copy of his book , The
Art of the Deal , while the lawyer was working in the White House. The inscription read, " To
Mark -- Best wishes. Your mom is the best ."
Hobnobbing with businessmen like Epstein and Trump was part and parcel of Middleton's
White House job , according to a 1999 report from the House Committee on Government Reform.
("In the course of his duties, Middleton was in contact with many prominent business people
and contributors to the President," the report states.) But it also got the lawyer in trouble
with the administration once he left. -
Daily Beast
Rothschild letter
In 1995, Lynn Forester de Rothschild writes ""Dear Mr. President: It was a pleasure to see
you recently at Senator Kennedy's house. There was too much to discuss and too little time.
Using my fifteen seconds of access to discuss Jeffrey Epstein and currency stabilization, I
neglected to talk to you about a topic near and dear to my heart. Namely, affirmative action
and the future."
Of note, former Epstein attorney and pal Alan Dershowitz previously said that Forester de
Rothschild introduced him to Epstein at a party on Martha's Vineyard for Lord Rothschild in the
summer of 1996.
"He was feisty, he was utterly politically incorrect," said Dershowitz in a recent interview
with New York magazine. "He was interesting to be with."
Bill Clinton and that vicious evil **** of a wife Hillary have done more to **** this
country up and the entire world than any other human beings. No contest.
Remember when Harvey Weinstein was the "scum" of the moment? During these "15 minutes,"
director Quentin Tarantino acknowledged his regret in not exposing Weinstein. Basically, he
gave an interview where he admitted he knew what his producer friend had been doing - or must
have been doing - all these years, and yet Taratino did nothing. Taratino gets credit in my
book for acknowledging this. In other words, he COULD have done something to stop his
activities/crimes, but did not.
Compare and contrast Tarantino's "mea culpa" to the HUNDREDS of VIPs who must have known
what Epstein was doing - for decades. And remained silent and never considered going to
authorities.
Scores or hundreds of people COULD have stopped this, but did not.
This tells us much about our system and the "leaders" who rule us. Also about our
"watchdog" press corps, which had no interest in exposing this person or his operation.
Affirmative action? Ha! 1 year later Clinton signs into law permission for the Attorney
General to traffic in little kids without Judicial oversight;
SEC. 604. ASYLUM REFORM.
(a) Asylum Reform.--Section 208 (8 U.S.C. 1158) is amended to read as follows: ... (D) No
judicial review.--There shall be no judicial review of a determination of the Attorney
General under subparagraph (A)(v). ..." - excerpt from https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLAW-104publ208/html/PLAW-104publ208.htm
Bill Richardson seems to be getting a pass so far on this story. While he has been
identified as being in Epstein's "black book" and receiving a couple of $50,000 campaign
donations from Epstein, what hasn't been mentioned is Richardson's key role as a Clinton
"fixer" and sycophant. Typically, he is identified only as a "former New Mexico
governor."
But prior to being elected governor of New Mexico, he served (if memory is correct) as the
U.S. ambassador to the U.N. under Bill Clinton. It was in this role that he "found" a job for
Monica Lewinsky, when Clinton had to move her out of the White House.
No telling what he did for Clinton before he was rewarded with this plum appointment.
I'm sure if a real investigation ever occurred we would learn that New Mexico leaders were
as "bought off" as the U.S. Virgin Island leaders had to be.
Epstein bought his 7,500 acre "ranch" from a former New Mexico governor. Richardson admits
he visited this place one time (yeah right). The "ranch" has no cattle and has its own air
strip. Hasn't anyone in this state, or this county, investigated what was going on at this
place?
But if Richardson and Clinton are both involved (and they are), we know they were both up
to no good, and we're trying to keep something secret.
" Clinton's college friend A. Paul Prosperi visited Epstein at least 20 times while
he was in the Palm Beach county jail . . ."
Just checking on Epstein's well-being and morale. A true humanitarian. There is no chance
that Mr. Prosperi was acting as a cut-out for the Clinton family. /S
Paul must have visited him at night since Epstein was hardly in his cell during the
daytime due to the allowance of liberal furloughs 6.5 days per week and "business trips" he
was allowed to take that lasted several days.
Virginia Roberts is on the record - in sworn affidavits - of saying she had sex with
Prince Andrew on three occasions. She even mention the places and time frames she was at
these places with Prince Andrew.
Can't reporters or investigators simply see if Prince Andrew was at these places at the
same time she was? Wouldn't this corroborate (or disprove/impeach) her story?
Absolutely not. "Journalists" have no time to check on the Prince Andrew story, or the
allegation that Bill Clinton flew with Epstein 26 times. They are too busy pursuing false
allegations against Trump and putting spin on Mueller's train-wreck testimony from
yesterday.
This story intimates that Bill Clinton and Jeff Epstein knew one another long before
Clinton says they knew one another. And were much closer to one another than we have been led
to believe.
And anyone who spent a lot of time with Epstein knew exactly what commodity/service
Epstein offered.
Even if Clinton never availed himself of the services offered by one of Epstein's girls,
he had to know exactly what business Epstein "trafficked" in. Of course, the notion that
Clinton never "sampled the product" is laughable.

The story also opens the door to a vast amount of connections previously unknown, you
could follow the people mentioned in the article and see what became of them and start
building a web... Many posts here are starting to do that. Hopeful
This was some real investigative journalism. All reporters had to do was check White House
records that show who attended what events. This story PROVES Clinton was lying if he indeed
said he didn't know Epstein until after he was out of office. This alone is grounds to
investigate him further. (Things he said in the past have now been proven to be lies -
Investigation 101).
Reporters then showed Clinton's long-time buddy (who ran his political campaign at
Georgetown) was also an associate of Epstein. And this person visited Epstein 20 times (!)
while Epstein was in jail (over a 13-month period).
These CAN'T be coincidences.
Anyway, most of these people will say "no comment" or will refuse to respond to requests
for comments. But this doesn't mean reporters can't find incriminating sources or stories
from other avenues.
For example, Vanity Fair reporters simply interviewed people who worked at the Virgin
Islands airport. They then asked these people: "Did you happen to see a large number of young
girls boarding or getting off Epstein's planes?"
Answer: Yes. Definitely. All the time.
I mean, what are we to make of this?
Why were so many young girls traveling to and from Epstein's island?
"... When scanning the news most days, I see a constant amplification of wedge issues by mass media, blue-check pundits and even many in the so-called alternative media. I see people increasingly being encouraged to demonize and dehumanize their fellow citizens. Anyone who voted for Trump is automatically a Nazi, likewise, anyone who supports Sanders is an anti-American communist. The reality is neither of these things is even remotely true, so why are people so quick to say them? ..."
"... The Epstein case shines a gigantic spotlight on just how twisted and sociopathic the highest echelons of U.S. society have become. This is exactly what happens when you fail to put wealthy and powerful super predators behind bars. They get more brazen, they get more demented and, ultimately, they destroy the very fabric that holds society together. We are in fact ruled by monsters. ..."
Perhaps, at long last, a serial rapist and pedophile may be brought to justice , more than a dozen years after he was first
charged with crimes that have brutalized countless girls and women. But what won't change is this: the cesspool of elites, many
of them in New York, who allowed Jeffrey Epstein to flourish with impunity.
For decades, important, influential, "serious" people attended Epstein's dinner parties, rode his private jet, and furthered
the fiction that he was some kind of genius hedge-fund billionaire. How do we explain why they looked the other way, or flattered
Epstein, even as they must have noticed he was often in the company of a young harem? Easy: They got something in exchange from
him , whether it was a free ride on that airborne "Lolita Express," some other form of monetary largesse, entrée into the extravagant
celebrity soirées he hosted at his townhouse, or, possibly and harrowingly, a pound or two of female flesh.
An honest assessment of the current state of American politics and society in general leaves little room for optimism regarding
the public's ability to accurately diagnose, much less tackle, our fundamental issues at a root level. A primary reason for this
state of affairs boils down to the ease with which the American public is divided against itself and conquered.
Though there are certain issues pretty much everyone can agree on, we simply aren't focusing our collective energy on them or
creating the mass movements necessary to address them. Things such as systemic bipartisan corruption, the institutionalization of
a two-tier justice system in which the wealthy and powerful are above the law, a broken economy that requires both parents to work
and still barely make ends meet, and a military-industrial complex consumed with profits and imperial aggression not national defense.
These are just a few of the many issues that should easily unite us against an entrenched power structure, but it is not happening.
At least not yet.
We currently find ourselves at a unique inflection point in American history. Though I agree with Charles Hugh Smith's assessment
that " Our Ruling
Elites Have No Idea How Much We Want to See Them All in Prison Jumpsuits, " we have yet to reach the point where the general
public is prepared to do something about it. I think there are several reasons for this, but the primary obstacle relates to how
easily the citizenry is divided and conquered. The mass media, largely owned and controlled by billionaires and their corporations,
is highly incentivized to keep the public divided against itself on trivial issues, or at best, on real problems that are merely
symptoms of bipartisan elitist plunder.
The key thing, from a plutocrat's point of view, is to make sure the public never takes a step back and sees the root of society's
problems. It isn't Trump or Obama, and it isn't the Republican or Democratic parties either. These individuals and political gangs
are just useful vehicles for elitist plunder. They help herd the rabble into comfortable little tribal boxes that results in made
for tv squabbling, while the true forces of power carry on with the business of societal pillaging behind the scenes.
You're encouraged to attach your identity to team Republican or team Democrat, but never unite as one voice against a bipartisan
crew of depraved, corrupt and unaccountable power players molding society from the top. While the average person living paycheck
to paycheck fashions themselves part of some biblical fight of good vs. evil by supporting team red or blue, the manipulative and
powerful at the top remain beyond such plebeian theater (though they certainly encourage it). These folks know only one team -- team
green. And their team keeps winning, by the way.
When scanning the news most days, I see a constant amplification of wedge issues by mass media, blue-check pundits and even
many in the so-called alternative media. I see people increasingly being encouraged to demonize and dehumanize their fellow citizens.
Anyone who voted for Trump is automatically a Nazi, likewise, anyone who supports Sanders is an anti-American communist. The reality
is neither of these things is even remotely true, so why are people so quick to say them?
Why is most of the anger in this country being directed at fellow powerless Americans versus upward at the power structure which
nurtured and continues to defend the current depraved status quo? I don't see any upside to actively encouraging one side of the
political discussion to dehumanize the other side, and I suggest we consciously cease engaging in such behavior. Absolutely nothing
good can come from it.
Which is partly why I've been so consumed by the Jeffrey Epstein case. For once, it allows us to focus our energy on the depraved
nature of the so-called American "elite," rather than pick fights with each other. How many random Trump or Sanders supporters do
you know who systematically molest children and then pass them off to their wealthy and powerful friends for purposes of blackmail?
The Epstein case shines a gigantic spotlight on just how twisted and sociopathic the highest echelons of U.S. society have
become. This is exactly what happens when you fail to put wealthy and powerful super predators behind bars. They get more brazen,
they get more demented and, ultimately, they destroy the very fabric that holds society together. We are in fact ruled by monsters.
Unfortunately, by being short-sighted, by fighting amongst ourselves, and by taking the easy route of punching down versus punching
up, we allow such cretins to continue to rape and pillage what remains of our civilization.
If we can truly get to the bottom of exactly what Epstein was up to, I suspect it has the potential to focus the general public
(beyond a few seconds) on the true nature of what's really going on and what makes the world tick. Revelations of such a nature could
provide the proverbial tipping point that's so desperately needed, but this is also why the odds of us actually getting the whole
story is quite low. There's simply too much at stake for those calling the shots.

Michael Krieger said: "It's sad and mind-boggling how easy it is to divide and conquer the American public. Manipulating the
masses in this country is trivial. The next few years will not be pretty".
Despite all the news of how the elites have manipulated the American public, it still goes on, unabated. Americans, for the
most part, are dumb and fat couch potatoes. They are not going to rise up against their elite masters, because they don't have
the wherewithal to do so. So, the show continues on, and the elites don't seem to have anything to worry about, and do as they
will.
If Americans were truly energetic about reigning in the abuses of the elites, they would have done so back in the 1870's, when
Mark Twain wrote about the Gilded Age Elites. Here it is, 149 years later, and nothing has changed in America today. The elites
still rule, and everyone else is an indentured servant. Of course, there are benefits for the elites to keep the American masses
dumbed down, and letting them lead couch potato life styles. Doing so, keeps them in power.
I suspect it was the CIA or FBI. But the goal was to keep Acosta from investigating Virginia Roberts' claims. If authorities
did this they would have had to investigate Prince Andrew.
If they found her to be truthful, they might even have to arrest Prince Andrew (can you imagine this happening?). Or at least
ask him to testify in a trial.
If the truth came out, this would humiliate the British nation, and Great Britain was (still is) one of America's most important
allies in the "war on terror" and all our other neocon initiatives.
Acosta was essentially told to "back off" Prince Andrew (not necessarily Epstein, who was best buddies with "Andy.")
This doesn't mean Israel intelligence was not involved in some way. It just means that American intelligence was involved,
or wanted to protect key people. Hell, they still do.
We can be almost certain that the exact same thing that happened with Acosta is happening right now. Some prosecutor is being
told to "back off. Don't go here. Focus only on Epstein and Epstein only."
This is why Ghislaine Maxwell has not been charged and will not be charged. This is why the FBI has not raided Pedo Island
or Pedo Ranch. This is why Epstein's four "co-accomplices" have not been charged.
Prosecutors have again been told that "intelligence" is saying that it's okay to do this (charge Epstein with sex crimes),
but NOT okay to do this (investigate and arrest any fellow predators).
It isn't just the elites and we need to stop pretending it is
"Child sex trafficking which is the buying and selling of women, young girls and boys for sex, some as young as 9 years old,
has become big business in America. It is the fastest growing business in organized crime and the second-most-lucrative commodity
traded illegally after drugs and guns.
Adults purchase children for sex at least 2.5 million times a year in the United States.
It's not just young girls who are vulnerable to these predators, either.
According to a 2016 investigative report, "boys make up about 36% of children caught up in the U.S. sex industry (about 60% are
female and less than 5% are transgender males and females)."
Who buys a child for sex?
Otherwise, ordinary men from all walks of life. "They could be your co-worker, doctor, pastor or spouse."
If Epstein was muslin would this be a crime? Of course not it would be part of Muslim Culture. Look into the Abuse done to
young girls in the Rotherham abuse case. BTW I am no sticking up for Epstein but the ruling elites and certain minorities are
treated different from Joe and Jane Public
"The Epstein Case Is A Rare Opportunity To Focus "On The Depraved Nature Of America's Elite"
This IS a "rare opportunity' for Americans to do just this (focus on how deprived our elite leaders really are).
If Americans really started to do this, for an extended period of time, and got, you know, kind of pissed off about this state
of affairs, we might even throw all the bums out. We might really "drain the swamp."
So this is a BIG story. Potentially.
Of course, the Powers that Be are going to do everything they can to make sure Americans do NOT focus on this story for too
long. Or that the "narrative" is controlled. (For example by focusing only on Epstein, not his hundreds of depraved buddies and
corrupt institutions).
I've been posting for 10 days that there are "too many" of these people. And they are too powerful.
Seems to me if authorities went after one of the "johns," they would have to go after ALL of the "Johns." And this includes
Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, former senators, governors, CEOs, secretaries of the treasury, bankers, etc.
It's the massive numbers of possible offenders that is probably keeping all of these people "safe."
And I still think Prince Andrew is the biggest fish the authorities don't want to humiliate/charge.
Even more so than Clinton. Half the country would throw a party if Clinton was charged. But in the UK, 90 percent of British
citizens would be mortified and greatly embarrassed if one of their Princes was proven to have done all the things that have been
alleged he did.
Note how just as the Epstein story was gaining steam, Trump easily pulled the spotlight
back on himself through racist obnoxious tweets. Playing the role of the heel, much as he did
when in actual pro wrestling and reality tv show.
"In professional wrestling, a heel (also known as a rudo in lucha libre) is a wrestler who
portrays a villain or a "bad guy" and acts as an antagonist[1][2][3] to the faces, who are
the heroic protagonist or "good guy" characters. Not everything a heel wrestler does must be
villainous: heels need only to be booed or jeered by the audience to be effective characters.
To gain heat (with boos and jeers from the audience), heels are often portrayed as
behaving in an immoral manner by breaking rules or otherwise taking advantage of their
opponents outside the bounds of the standards of the match. Others do not (or rarely) break
rules, but instead exhibit unlikeable, appalling and deliberately offensive and demoralizing
personality traits such as arrogance, cowardice or contempt for the audience. Many heels do
both, cheating as well as behaving nastily." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heel_(professional_wrestling)

Uncle Jon @67, I heard from a reputable British source that BoJo had a fling with Ghislane
Maxwell, so there's your tie in. I agree that the Epstein Affair is the key to unlocking many
mysteries.
And as if the 'voters' had an actual choice between BoJo and Jeremy Hunt
"UK's Jeremy Hunt: Israel Is 'an Inspiration,' 'Beacon of Democracy'" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naLX3DBvrFg
I've been flogging this article intermittently for years without much positive feedback,
but I still consider the "wrestling fan"'s perspective to be a perfect analogy to the way
most US residents, including self-identified progressives and leftists who profess to be
skeptical/cynical, regard electoral politics.
The degradation of political elites is a universal phenomenon. Of course, first of all it is
noticeable in relation to the Western elites (American, European), but this can also be found
in the post-Soviet space (Georgia, Armenia, Moldova etc). Ukraine is generally a special case
- real freaks and Nazis in power, the speaker of parliament with the mental retardation
certificate, the Attorney General of the country (btw, previously convicted) without a legal
education etc.
So I join and also express my condolences to the people of Great Britain.
The entire world political class and most of the commentariat of the political class
indulges in kayfabe.
"In professional wrestling, kayfabe /ˈkeɪfeɪb/ (also called work or worked)
is the portrayal of staged events within the industry as "real" or "true", specifically the
portrayal of competition, rivalries, and relationships between participants as being genuine
and not of a staged or predetermined nature of any kind. The term kayfabe has evolved to also
become a code word of sorts for maintaining this "reality" within the direct or indirect
presence of the general public.[1]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kayfabe
So, what options do the UK citizenry have until the next general election? IMO, Corbyn
encapsulated it well in his two tweets :
"Boris Johnson has won the support of fewer than 100,000 unrepresentative Conservative
Party members by promising tax cuts for the richest, presenting himself as the bankers'
friend, and pushing for a damaging No Deal Brexit.
"But he hasn't won the support of our country."
And:
"Johnson's No Deal Brexit would mean job cuts, higher prices in the shops, and risk our
NHS being sold off to US corporations in a sweetheart deal with Donald Trump.
"The people of our country should decide who becomes the Prime Minister in a General
Election."
"In this sense Boris Johnson is a throwback to former times – not quite to the 19th
century like his aide-de-camp Jacob Rees-Mogg but at least to the middle of the 20th century.
On the face of it, Harold MacMillan, the then British PM, was a straight-laced, slightly
eccentric upper-class Englishman. That his wife was upstairs in bed, for years, with one of
his parliamentary colleagues Sir Robert Boothby didn't seem to faze him. Or us, but then we
weren't to know about it.
"In deference to the new age, Boris Johnson has skipped the straight-laced bit; he has
cuckolded his colleagues, even leaving cuckoos in their nests, has left a trail of lurid
love-life stories to make a thriller-writer blush, and will likely bed down in Downing Street
on Wednesday night with his 31 year-old girlfriend. But the rest is just the same. Johnson is
(or has fashioned himself) as an upper-class English eccentric and will be hoping the
deference is not dead amongst 21st century Britons.
"To be fair it should be said that Johnson is as colourful as his predecessor Mrs May was
bloodless. He is clever and quick-witted (you get what you pay for at Eton), is well read and
is a good writer too (he should be, he is Britain's most expensive newspaper columnist). Like
his hero Winston Churchill, he believes history will treat him kindly because HE intends to
write it."
George will soon be on RT's InQuestionRT as per his tweet at 5pm
BST.
The Anglo-Zionist have elevated another buffoon to entertain the masses. Trump was just the
tip of the iceberg. It will not be long before President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert
Camacho will soon be leading the global masses.
Didn't I hear something about Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson having presidential
aspirations?
Boris Johnson's ascension to power in UK is just a clown act in a tragic circus. But a
circus nonetheless. A none-story. A nothingburger.
I implore you to stay focused on Jeffery Epstein. That is the real story of our time. One
that could bring down AIPAC/Israel and all of its' spies, the Clintons, Trump, and certain
elements of the deep state once and for all, and free US from the shackles of Zionism.
Do not let this story die by way of side shows like the story above and etc.
"It's a big job to uncover Israeli subversion, but somebody needs to start doing it."
Let it be you. We trust your reporting and I hope you don't take your eyes off the ball.
Forget about BoJo, Russiagate (it is really Israelgate) and Ukraine. Epstein is the story of
the ages. One that could change the realm forever.
It is starting to appear to be very much a contest of buffoons, which country has the more
outrageous buffoon. At this point, it is a close race between the us and the uk but who is to
judge.
The world's "leadership class" really is bereft of any level of competence or standing:
trump, boris, macon, ursula (and remaining eucom and IMF "leaders"), pompeo, bolton, pence,
nitenyahoo,et al. and on and on.
IMHO, Putin, lavrov, shoigu stand out head and shoulders above the aforementioned
"leadership class."
That's because Putin and Xi (and some others) are in fact leaders, making rational
decisions for the benefit of their nations.
Those others are just figureheads - ability is not so important as reliability and
entertainment value.
It'll be interesting to see if BoJo can fake solemnity and diplomacy as convincingly as Trump
can when in the company of other national leaders. I'm confident that Zelenski, being an
actor, will be able to make it look easy.
There's a sort of precedent for this switch to comedy-based leadership.
I half-remember that when Ronnie Raygun offered himself as a candidate for POTUS, he answered
the critics of his lack of experience by asserting that he had played many leadership roles
during his movie career - making him the superior candidate.
And the sheeple bought it!
It seems that this is the dawn of a new "Anything's Possible" era.
Always thought professional wrestling provided a good analogy for our current situation.
Trump and BoJo (and the nations they represent) do indeed represent classic "heels". In
particular the USA is clearly now a "closet champion" or the "term for a heel in possession
of a title belt who consistently dodges top flight competition and attempts to back down from
challenges". What a world we inhabit.
Something Governmental built-up that Orgy Island, if Not directly then known about,
Epstein had just purchased nearby Great St. James Island, and nearby Dog Island is suspect,
plus ( not very far away ) Water Island has an old Submarine base that has a
underground/underwater Fort !
The Maxwell Manhattan property, which is close to Epstein's mansion, is owned by Lynn
Forester de Rothschild , wife of the British financier Sir Evelyn Robert de Rothschild.
It is also listed as the base of the Terramar project
Chum for fish and likely just dug holes for things like plastics, much like boats sort
their trash !
Plus whatever is in Maintenance yard across from Giganic Generator Building used 600amps
with huge exhaust vents and 6" water piping, that entire area was sea level some 20 Years ago
! Note 200amp runs any house and small businesses, whatever needed 600amps and built like a
bomb shelter also vented a kiln of sorts or a massive incinerator !
Agreed' But their are three 200amp intakes side by side on the building, how much power
the Generator Building could output is unknown ( arial pictures ) because the wires are all
underground and generator itself is unknown !
Their are Wild guesses about the maintenance building across from building with a
generator system because it is massive, with pallets of Concrete Blocks on drive-on roof and
about 150 foot above sea-level that was a beach some 20 years ago !
Some trucked off by barge in the beginning of first drone video. See 15 yard dump truck
parked by barge at beginning. Another video that just surfaced shows 2 underground entrances
and a dumps with fuel barrels, pallets and wood. Lot's of big bonfires I guess.
Generator is housed in a new huge building with doors closed, only the conduit entrenceway
is visible Three side by side at no less than 200amp each go to building equipped with 6"
plumbing lines!?!
I can only explain by having you watch excellent videos on YouTube so ignore if it's
outside your interest!

. . . but it is unclear whether the report was ever filed with the Treasury Department's
financial-crimes division.
Unclear?? What a load of ******* ********. Of course it was never filed. That's because a
Stein was involved and he was part of the gang. This info would never have seen the light of
day if the creep wasn't busted again and the only reason we're seeing it now is a cover your

Deutsche Bank uncovered suspicious transactions in which Jeffrey Epstein moved money out of the
United States, according to the
New
York Times
.
The bank reported the transactions to a federal agency in charge of policing financial crimes
after
the bank began to look for signs that Epstein was using his funds for sex trafficking
,
according to the report.
Epstein is said to have moved his moey to Deutsche Bank's private-banking division after JP
Morgan Chase cut ties with himn in 2013, five years after he pleaded guilty to state prostitution
charges - one of which involved a minor.
Deutsche Bank executives are still trying to understand the depth and scope of the bank's
relationship with Mr. Epstein,
who has been a client of its private-banking division
since at least 2013 -- years after his conduct became public in a prostitution case involving a
teenage girl.
Deutsche Bank has been contacted by prosecutors and other government authorities
investigating Mr. Epstein.
Joerg Eigendorf, a Deutsche Bank spokesman, said the bank was
"absolutely committed to cooperating with all relevant authorities."
-
New
York Times
Following a series of investigative reports by the
Miami
Herald
earlier this year, Deutsche Bank followed suit, severing ties with the wealthy
financier. Doing so proved difficult for the bank, as its antiquated systems. "
On a number
of occasions, Deutsche Bank executives had thought they had shut down all of Mr. Epstein's accounts
,
only to learn that there were others that they had not previously been aware of," according to the
Times
.
By late spring, there were still transactions occurring in Epstein's Deutsche Bank accounts,
however company officials now believe they have closed them all down.
Epstein, who is currently sitting in a Manhattan jail cell pending trial, has been accused of
operating a sex-trafficking ring involving dozens of victims - some as young as 14.
He has a byzantine network of businesses and personal holdings, which include real estate, an
island and private planes valued at more than $500 million. -
New
York Times
Deutsche Bank first flagged Epstein's accounts in 2015 and 2016
, after
anti-money laundering compliance officers in the bank's New York and Jacksonville, FL offices
raised a wide spectrum of concerns over the bank's relationship with the financier.
The employees were concerned that the bank's reputation could be harmed if it became public
that Mr. Epstein was a client, according to the people familiar with the internal processes.
In addition,
the compliance officers on at least one occasion noticed potentially
illegal activity in one of Mr. Epstein's account
s, including transactions in which
money was moving outside the United States, the people said. The compliance officers produced a
so-called suspicious activity report, but it is unclear whether the report was ever filed with
the Treasury Department's financial-crimes division.
Despite the compliance officers' misgivings, the bank continued to do extensive business with
Mr. Epstein. -

"We're still trying to get our arms around it," said a bank employee.

investigative people working for them, and somehow did not read
newspapers from Miami at the time. They also have, and always have
had, antiquated systems even though they are a large bank. Who
does this make sense to?
"... In a suit filed in 2015, Virginia Roberts Giuffre claimed that in 1999, when she was 15 years old, Epstein's friend and alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, approached Giuffre at her summer job at Mar-a-Lago, and offered the teen professional training in massages. Giuffre says she was then brought to Epstein's Palm Beach home, where she was repeatedly sexually abused by him, and that over the next few years, he "loaned her out to rich and influential men around the world," as the Guardian reported in 2015. ..."
"... Among these men, Prince Andrew, who Giuffre said she was forced to have sex with on three occasions while she was 17, once in London, at Maxwell's home, once in New York, and once on Epstein's private Caribbean island as part of an "orgy with numerous other under-aged girls." ..."
"... According to court filings submitted in 2015 as part of a long-running lawsuit challenging Epstein's plea deal, Giuffre said Epstein ordered her at the time to "give the prince whatever he required" and report back to him with details of the abuse after. Per the filing, obtained by the Guardian : ..."
"... "Epstein's purposes in 'lending' Jane Doe (along with other young girls) to such powerful people were to ingratiate himself with them for business, personal, political, and financial gain," the document alleged, "as well as to obtain potential blackmail information". ..."
"... Buckingham Palace strenuously denied the allegations after they were published in the Guardian , calling them "categorically untrue," and denying "any form of sexual contact or relationship" between the prince and Giuffre. ..."
"... Flight logs, however, appear to confirm that the prince was in the locations Giuffre claimed he was at the relevant times, the Telegraph reported in 2015. ..."
Wealthy financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was arrested at an airport in New Jersey on Saturday for allegedly
trafficking dozens of underage girls between 2002 and 2005. Epstein, who received a lenient and widely criticized plea deal for similar
charges back in 2007, is extremely well-connected. His "
little black book
" included presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, Richard Branson, Michael Bloomberg, Courtney Love, and 16 phone numbers
for Britain's Prince Andrew (Queen Elizabeth's third child, and Prince Charles's younger brother). Prince Andrew and Epstein have
been friends for a while, and, according to court documents, Epstein allegedly forced a teenage girl to have sex with him on three
separate occasions, including during what she described as an orgy with other underage girls. Buckingham Palace has vehemently denied
the allegations, but as Epstein is back under the spotlight, we're likely to hear more about the prince's relationship to him. Here's
everything we know so far.
"... According to multiple court filings reviewed by the Miami Herald , lawyers for one of Epstein's alleged victims have claimed that Epstein and Maxwell acted as the leaders of an "organized crime family" and that Maxwell helped traffic girls and women to powerful figures. Per the documents, Maxwell lured the alleged victims into the sex ring by offering them modeling, fashion, and educational opportunities. Furthermore, in 2009 depositions, two former house managers testified that Maxwell kept photos of young women in sexual acts. ..."
"... Maria Farmer, said in a sworn affidavit that Maxwell and Epstein sexually assaulted her in 1996 while she was working on an art project at the Ohio Mansion of L Brands CEO Les Wexner . ..."
"... Additionally, in 2017, a woman named Sarah Ransome alleged in a lawsuit that Maxwell and Epstein had threatened to physically hurt her or ruin her career were she to refuse to have sex with the pair's clients. Ransome withdrew the suit in December 2018 for reasons that were not made public ..."
"... Sanford L. Bohrer, the Miami Herald 's attorney , has urged the New York appeals court to prioritize unsealing the approximate 2,000 pages of documents related to the 2015 defamation case, as the allegations against Maxwell are "an issue of critical public concern." ..."
"... On July 2 of this year, though, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ordered that some of the aforementioned sealed documents be unsealed. But, predictably, Maxwell would prefer that the 2,000-some documents remain sealed. ..."
They were the glamorous Jeffrey Epstein aides who refused to testify about Prince Andrew's visits to the 'House of Sin'.
Sarah Kellen and Nadia Marchinova both pleaded their right to silence under the US Fifth Amendment when asked if the royal had
sex with teenage girls – earning themselves the nickname the 'blondes who took the Fifth'.
Today, Epstein's former PA Miss Kellen and Miss Marchinova – his on-off girlfriend – have reinvented themselves as Sarah Kensington
and Nadia Marcinko.

Where Are Jeffrey Epstein's Alleged Accomplices Now?
When prosecutors gave Jeffrey Epstein a sweetheart plea deal in 2007, they agreed not
to charge four women allegedly involved in recruiting dozens of underage girls for abuse.

For decades,
financier Jeffrey Epstein
allegedly abused dozens of underage girls in a sex-trafficking enterprise,
according to a new federal indictment unsealed in the Southern District of New York.
But in order to successfully "create a vast network of underage victims for him to sexually exploit" and
expand his network of possible targets, he relied on the loyalty and organizational skills of his employees,
prosecutors claim.
According to the
14-page indictment
filed in Manhattan federal court on Monday, the 66-year-old hedge-fund
manager/convicted sex offender "worked and conspired with others, including employees and associates" to run
a sex-trafficking enterprise between 2002 and 2005, preying on "dozens" of girls as young as 14 at his
mansions in New York and Palm Beach, Florida.
During each encounter listed in the indictment -- which charges Epstein with one count of sex trafficking
and one count of sex-trafficking conspiracy -- girls were taken to a room to perform "massages" nude or
partially nude before Epstein would escalate the encounter to "include one or more sex acts."
"Epstein typically would also masturbate during these sexualized encounters, ask victims to touch him
while he masturbated, and touch victims' genitals with his hands or with sex toys," the indictment states,
adding the money man knew that the girls were minors.
After the assault, prosecutors allege, Epstein or his associates would pay each girl hundreds of dollars
in cash and often would turn the victim into a recruiter of new girls to abuse.
"In this way, Epstein created a vast network of underage victims for him to sexually exploit," the
indictment said. The indictment goes on to detail three anonymous victims and refers to three unnamed
employees who allegedly assisted Epstein in the enterprise, including by making calls to arrange for
"massages" for Epstein.
It's not the first time that Epstein's employees and associates have been accused of helping procure
underage girls for his abuse.
In Epstein's controversial 2008 plea deal in Florida -- which was granted by then-prosecutor and
now-Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta and other DOJ attorneys, without informing the billionaire's alleged
victims -- four women are named as possible accomplices. Epstein's non-prosecution agreement, which sentenced
him to 18 months in prison, also granted immunity to the four women and any other "potential
co-conspirators," identified in the
document
as "including but not limited to Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, Lesley Groff, or Nadia
Marcinkova."
"While Epstein was at the head of the international sex trafficking organization, that conspiracy could
not have functioned without many others playing their part," attorney Paul Cassell, who represents multiple
victims of Epstein,
told The Daily Beast after Epstein's arrest on Saturday
. "Jane Doe 1 and 2 will continue to fight for
all of Epstein's co-conspirators to be held accountable in New York, Florida, and anywhere else they
committed crimes."
Details of Epstein's alleged trafficking in Monday's indictment mirror the accounts of scores of underage
women in Florida, who described several "schedulers" who organized his alleged sex sessions and one young
woman, described as Epstein's "sex slave," who would allegedly participate in the abuse while the
billionaire watched.

employer, is now

to NASCAR driver Brian Vickers. Along with traveling with her husband, the 39-year-old (who also
goes by the name
Sarah Kensington)
is the owner of an interior-design firm,
SLK Designs
.
"Sarah Kensington makes a living doing what she loves in life, interior design,"
a Facebook page connected to SLK Designs states
. "She is the owner of SLK Designs LLC. and has studies
at several schools including the University of Hawaii and New York School of Interior Design." The
social-media page also details Sarah's interests, which include "fashion, photography, travel, delicious
cuisine, and anything design related."
The page also notes that Sarah "is working with a number of clients on various projects including
renovating several corporate apartments in New York, the Caribbean, and Paris. For the houses that Sarah
manages, she does a number of duties which can involve organizing staff schedules, looking for and
interviewing housekeepers and chefs, purchase and source items that are needed for the household (flatware,
dishes, furniture, art, etc.), design floral arrangements, and interior design."
Epstein also owns homes in New York, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Paris.
According to public records
, SLK Designs once operated from a building in Midtown Manhattan owned by
Epstein's property-manager brother, Mark Epstein. The condominium listed to take SLK Designs deliveries, at
301 E. 66th St., is the same address
where Epstein allegedly rented units
to house
models
.
Though not directly named in Monday's indictment, Kellen has been accused in court documents related to
the Florida case of booking the "massages," often calling girls to ensure they "were available for
encounters" when Epstein would travel to Palm Beach. Several alleged victims in Florida told authorities
they were led to and from the upstairs room in Epstein's mansion by a woman named Sarah, after she lined up
the oils on his massage table. According to
one police report
, Kellen also warned the girls not to talk to authorities about the encounters.
Monday's indictment contains similar allegations about unnamed Epstein employees. "When a victim
initially arrived at the Palm Beach Residence, she would be escorted to a room, sometimes by an employee of
Epstein's, including, at times, two assistants who, as described herein, were also responsible for
scheduling sexual encounters with minor victims," the Monday indictment states.
Kellen, who has properties in North Carolina, New York, and Miami Beach, did not respond to The Daily
Beast's request for comment. A NASCAR spokesperson told The Daily Beast the organization does "not have a
comment" about Kellen's alleged misconduct.
Nadia Marcinkova
Nadia Marcinkova, Epstein's alleged "sex slave" who
was accused of
participating in sexual encounters with underage girls, is now an FAA-certified
commercial pilot and flight instructor. Marcinkova, 33, who was allegedly brought from the former Yugoslavia
to live with Epstein, now goes by the named "
Global
Girl
" on social media, and has changed her last name.
"Global Girl (
Nadia
Marcinko
) spent many years in the international marketing and advertising world as an international
fashion model and spokesperson, with clients including Chanel, Christian Dior, Valentino,
Vogue
and
MTV. After many successful years in the modeling industry, she was ready for longer runways and became a
licensed commercial pilot," her
Facebook account states
, adding that she is an "FAA certified flight instructor and Gulfstream II, III &
IV pilot."
Marcinkova also is the founder and CEO of Aviloop, a website selling discounted flying lessons and other
deals related to aviation. Since 2011, Aviloop provides a slew of services, including designing custom pilot
team and "organizing team building events." As with Kellen, the aviation company is
registered
at the building once owned by Mark Epstein and allegedly used as a model clubhouse by his
brother.
Though Marcinkova originally started calling herself "Gulfstream Girl," she was sued in 2013 by
Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. for trademark infringement. On Jan. 6, 2014, the lawsuit filed in a New York
Southern District court was settled after Marcinko changed her online name to Global Girl.
According to
written testimony by several alleged victims
, Marcinkova is described as having "encouraged and engaged
in sexual acts" with young girls while Epstein watched. According to police, Epstein told one victim
Marcinkova was his "sex slave" and that he'd purchased her from her family in the former Yugoslavia when she
was 15. Marcinkova is not directly named in Monday's indictment.
Marcinkova, who lives in New York, did not immediately respond to The Daily Beast's request for comment.
Adriana Ross
Adriana Ross, a former model from Poland who allegedly helped organize Epstein's predatory sessions,
moved to Florida in 2002 and was hired to work at the financier's mansion. Ross, who often went by Adriana
Mucinska and is not directly named in Monday's indictment, also frequently flew on Epstein's
private jet alongside Bill Clinton
, according to flight records.
Along with her fellow alleged co-conspirators, Ross was questioned in 2010 about whether Britain's Prince
Andrew participated in Epstein's alleged sex enterprise. Refusing to answer questions about the inner
workings of the alleged scheme, Ross repeatedly invoked her Fifth Amendment rights,
according to previous reports
. As previously reported by The Daily Beast, Ross also lived at the East
66th Street building in Manhattan.
Ross' current profession or address was not immediately clear and she could not be reached for comment.
Lesley Groff
Lesley Groff
was another Epstein assistant who allegedly coordinated travel for young girls, often calling to schedule
"massages." Though not directly named in Monday's indictment, the 51-year-old has been previously named as
one of Epstein's three female assistants. According to a
2005
Chicago Tribune
story about executive-assistant pay
, Epstein divulged his assistants made
about $200,000.
"They are an extension of my brain. Their intuition is something that I don't have," Epstein told the
Tribune
. According to public records, Groff currently lives in Connecticut and did not respond to The
Daily Beast's request for comment.
Without a doubt, the absolutely raunchiest part of the Epstein affadavit stars a mysterious young woman named "Nada Marcinkova."
Lesbian strap-on raunchiness, ending in something that sounds to us a little bit like rape. We get all the details but no explanation
of who Marcinkova is or what her relationship with Epstein was.
She's not one of his high school victims, and doesn't seem to have talked to the police. But it somehow seems fitting that this
mysterious money manager to the billionaires would have an unknown Czech sex puppet lying around somewhere.
Gawker identified her in a
NY Social Diary photo
where Nadia (far left) is palling around with Epstein's pimp assistant Sarah Kellen (right).
Here she looks very respectable. Not at all like the "large rubber penis" wielding girl we know from the affadavit. Surely there's
a more representative photo.
Of course there is. After the jump, check out Nadia looking a little more, uhm, severe, sexy and ready to get it on. And we'll
throw in the raunchy portion of the affadavit below for your, uhm, reading pleasure.
[Note: Nadia, of course, couldn't be reached to confirm that this is her. But we're pretty sure it is.] Here's the relevant part
of the affidavit.
[Annoying redacting ink blot covering up girl's name] advised that things escalated within the home as Epstein would instruct
and pay [ink blot] to have intercourse with his female friend, Nada Marcinkova.
[Ink blot] explained the intercourse included strap on dildos, large rubber penis' [sic] and other devices that Epstein had
at his disposal. Epstein would watch them have intercourse and masturbate himself. Occasionally, Epstein would then join in during
the female on female intercourse and provide oral sex to both [ink blot] and Marcinkova.
This occured during the time [ink blot] was sixteen years of age.
[Ink blot] advised that this continued to escalate during two years. The routine became familiar to [ink blot]. Epstein's assistant
Sarah [Kellen] would telephone her every time Epstein was in the Town of Palm Beach and would place appointments for her to visit
and work for Epstein.
[... Ink blot] stated during one visit to Epstein's house in which she provided a massage to Epstein, his female friend, Nada
Marcinkova, was also present. [Ink blot] provided the massage in which Marcinkova and her would fondle each others breasts and
kiss for Epstein to enjoy. Towards the end of this massage, Epstein grabbed [ink blot] and turned her over onto her stomach on
the massage table and forcible insterted his penis into her vagina.
[Ink blot] became upset over this. She said her head was being held against the table forcibly, as he continued to pump inside
her. She screamed "No!" and Epstein stopped. She told him that she did not want to have his penis inside of her. Epstein did not
ejaculate inside of her and apologized for his actions and subsequently paid her a thousand dollars for that visit.
[Ink blot] stated she knows he still displays her photographs throughout the house.

Some journalists in the Jewish media are
starting to complain that President Donald Trump is "loving Israel" just a little too much
since he keeps citing his concern for the Jewish state as the driving force behind some of his
erratic behavior. It is a viewpoint that I most definitely share, though I would describe the
apparent White House lovefest with the Israel as a "lot too much." When the President of the
United States calls a congresswoman an anti-Semite and
demands that she apologize to him personally and also to Israel it is definitely a lot too
much.
So Israel is always in the news, or so it seems, though it is often not in the news when the
story might be derogatory. The story disappears from sight as soon as it is determined that
Israel might be involved, as is currently the case with Jeffrey Epstein, or Israeli activity is
excised completely as was the case with the Mueller investigation where Russiagate should have
really been called Israelgate as it was Israel that was seeking favors from the incoming Trump
Administration, not Russia. As Noam Chomsky
put it , Israeli interference in American politics "vastly overwhelms" anything Russia has
done.
I have recently written about how the Jewish state works hard to brainwash the American
people and limit the foreign policy options of the U.S. government, to include aggressive
efforts to obtain what the intelligence agencies would call "agents of influence." Agents
of influence live and work in one country while simultaneously and treacherously advancing the
interests of another nation. It is what George Washington warned about in his Farewell Address
when he counseled "Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe
me, fellow citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history
and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican
government."
Foreign influence as a potential national security threat is also a status defined in legal
terms by the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 (FARA), which requires anyone working on
behalf of a foreign government to register and make transparent sources of income.
Uniquely, no foundation or individual working in America to advance the interests of the
Jewish state has ever been required to register under FARA even though many, like the odious
American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), boast unambiguously on their websites that they are "America's pro-Israel Lobby."
Many of the foundations are regarded as educational or charitable 501(c)3 tax exempt
non-profits, which means the U.S. taxpayer is helping support their activity. But being a
non-profit charity does not necessarily mean austerity, as the salaries of top employees are
generous. Canadian Jew Mark Dubowitz of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD), a
501(c)3, is paid $560,000 in salary and benefits. FDD has for many years been calling for war
against Iran.
The most recent foundation being set up by Israel's friends to promote the interests of the
Jewish state is the Edmund Burke Foundation, which hosted a conference on "Nationalism" last
week. The conference was interesting in that the Burke Foundation is headed by an Israeli and an
American Jew who has served as Executive Director of the Christians United For Israel (CUFI).
The event was held at the Washington D.C. Ritz-Carlton, suggesting that the Burkeans are not
short of cash. Pro-Israel groups always seem to have plenty of Benjamins.
A number of traditional conservatives and even some organizations were
fooled by the promotional material and speakers' list into thinking that the program was
legitimate and would focus on supporting national interests as well as foreign policy
restraint, but some at least had their eyes opened when John Bolton, as featured speaker, was
vigorously applauded by at least half of the audience .
Some potential critics of the agenda were not invited or even
deliberately
denied tickets to limit dissent, and several attendees were appalled by what they had
witnessed, which was essentially an affirmation of status quo foreign policy, to the benefit
of the hawks in Washington and Israel. Inevitably, some delusional dimwits were unable to
understand that they were being used and were oddly entranced by what they were seeing and hearing . And don't
worry if you are among those who missed the event. It will probably be replayed in a few months
under a different name and with a slightly different cast of characters.
The most visible Israeli tool for generating contacts with Americans that might prove useful
is the all- expenses-paid VIP junkets that are arranged for Congressmen. New Congressmen
routinely travel to Israel for a dog-and-pony show within months of their taking office. One of
Congress's leading cheerleaders for Israel, Maryland's Steny Hoyer has visited the Jewish state
many times and can be relied on
to pressure freshman congressmen to make the trip. Other Americans who might be influential in
the future are also feted by the Israeli hospitality machine. American military cadets from the
service academies and colleges are now being brought to Israel to
learn a fictional version of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Undoubtedly, some of them are
set up for intelligence approaches after they are commissioned.
Which brings us to the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein story and how it is being handled by
government and covered in the media since the story exploded two weeks ago. No one outside the
alternative media seems to be interested in the possibility, or rather likelihood, that Epstein
was working for a foreign intelligence service, which would most likely be Israel. In the media
the Epstein story died almost immediately, submerged in the tale of Donald Trump telling
several congresswomen to go back where they came from.
It is unlikely that the spying aspect of Epstein's alleged crimes will even be investigated
both because it involves the Jewish state and also becomes it appears to include participation
by leading politicians from both parties and other public figures. The Deep State will make the
story die, which just might also be what happens to Epstein in jail.
The evidence that Epstein was involved in intelligence work most likely bribing or
blackmailing prominent individuals to act on behalf of Israel, derives both from the statement
made by former U.S. Attorney for Miami Alexander Acosta
that "I was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to leave it alone" and from other
external evidence. Epstein was making videos of his guests having sex with his young girls,
which is a version of a classic intelligence entrapment technique referred to as a "honey trap"
that is employed by every major spy agency worldwide. And the Acosta quote – will it ever
be fully investigated? Who told him that Epstein was "intelligence" and what were the
circumstances?
Jeffrey's sources of income have also been questioned. Epstein's sole identified business
connection was Ohio billionaire Les Wexner, who maintained very close ties to the upper echelons of the
Israeli diplomatic and intelligence establishment .
Epstein served as Wexner's trustee when the latter was forming the Mega Group, created by
Wexner and Edgar Bronfman to generate positive views of Israel as a
cover for Israeli propaganda dissemination in America.
Epstein's lack of an identifiable income stream rather suggests that he might have been
supported by a government agency of some kind. He had hidden in his Manhattan house a great
deal of cash, diamonds and an Austrian passport. The diamonds might have represented payment in
kind from Israel, which is capital of the world diamond trade, and the existence of the
passport is intriguing. It has been described in the media as "fake" but that can mean
anything. The passport, dating from the 1980s, was
apparently authentic with a photo of Epstein and a fake name inserted in it, but it might
plausibly be the product of a government document forgery lab. Why Austria? Because Austria was
at the time politically neutral and the passport would be a good one for traveling anywhere. It
would be much preferred by spy agencies or by agents who wanted to travel anonymously.
That Epstein would be linked to Israel rather than to some other intelligence service is due
to his relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell ,
whose father Robert, a Czech Jew who became a naturalized British citizen, was believed by
C.I.A. and other intelligence services to be a long-time agent of Mossad. After he died under
mysterious circumstances, he was given a state funeral in Israel that was attended by every
current and former head of the Jewish state's intelligence service as well as by the country's
prime minister Yitzhak Shamir. Ghislaine was reportedly Epstein's close friend and a procurer
of his young girl victims.
As most of Israel's agents of influence are now on Martha's Vineyard where they gather in
July and August, it would be wonderful to cut off all transportation and communication with the
island and leave them there, but that would be unfair to the genuine year-round residents.
Alternatively, I would be happy just to see Israel's dire influence over the United States
exposed by the media and discussed in public fora by the more than 20 Democratic Party
presidential wannabes. As that is not likely to happen, I would settle for a real honest-to-God
investigation of Epstein and what he was doing coupled with a move by the Treasury and Justice
departments against all the hundreds of pro-Israel groups that have never registered under
FARA. It's a big job to uncover Israeli subversion, but somebody needs to start doing it.

Dershowitz "would publish an online essay preemptively attacking Bruck's (Connie)
unpublished article and accusing New Yorker editor David Remnick of ordering up a "hit
piece" aimed at "silencing my defense of President Trump , Prime Minister
Netanyahu , and the State of Israel ." (Remnick declined to comment.)
Rice,NYM 7/19
Dersh' is claiming this forthcoming Bruck piece -in particular- will do permanent damage
to his career. We can only hope it will be that effective. Yes, forces are out there trying
to quash investigations.
I think there will be some significant efforts to do the job that many had badly fell
short on. But there should be much more. Like 60 Mins and Frontline to name
two. As for the prosecutors, that question has to be answered too. This is a very big story.
As serious as the crimes against the young girls are, the Epstein case is about much
more.
Are you kidding? The truth will never come out. You were supposedly a counterintelligence
expert at the CIA? Epstein's links to Maxwell, Israel, the Mossad, MI5 and the USA's own CIA
are so blatant that Acosta was told that he was part of the Intelligence Network and to leave
him alone. All Jewish organizations (they do not have to register as lobbying groups) are
nothing more that money launders for various illegal Jewish activities and form pathways for
Jews to do anything they want in America.
Yeah. Vanity Fair is reporting that some "prominent Republicans" believe that Epstein is a
Mossad agent. And so it begins. The Narrative: the only people that believe THAT tinfoil hat
blood libel about Epstein-Israel are the Nazi Alt-right-wingers. It's basically the Birthers
all over again. Nothing to see here. Move along.
You're overspecializing. Epstein, like all of the characters in the Mueller mess, is an
international fixer and blackmailer. All of these dudes work for EVERY nation and mob at one
time or another, and betray EVERY nation and mob at other times. Israel is just one of the
nations that hire these creatures. The only difference is that the fixers are less likely to
betray Israel. Mossad is more serious and competent than MI6 or CIA.
Thank you, Philip Giraldi, for an important and insightful article.
Another major hurdle blocking a genuine investigation of Israeli influence and its
highly-paid and deeply-embedded agents of influence, is that Israel just happens to have
'friends' at all levels of elite American media. Israelis and crypto-Israelis dominate
America's Fourth Estate.
Pro-Israel infiltration of US news institutions, social media organs, search engines, and
entertainment media cannot be overestimated. Yet it's ignored. Deliberately. Certain facts
may not be noticed.
But it is a fact that hard-core Zionists own/manage/influence most American news and
entertainment media; from Hollywood to Chicago to DC to NYC–and most everything in
between.
In the rare instance when an independent news outlet does do its job and pursues a story
that upsets organized Jewry, it is commonly met with threats of boycott (economic warfare)
and/or Zionist-friendly lawsuits ('lawfare'). As Gilad Atzmon has noted (I paraphrase):
'Jewish power is the power to make unacceptable the close examination of Jewish power'.
Isn't the main problem double citizenship, the rotten US empire has enforced all over its
vassal states?
You can't serve two masters, double citizenship has to be removed.
Giraldi appears to be speaking truth to (Jewish) power but don't believe it.
It ain't coincidental that he's engaged in this distracting arm-waving, mentioning the
previously obscure and notoriously unenforced FARA twice.
the DOJ National Security Division, intentionally never prosecuted for FARA violations
because they used the appearance of FARA violations to get FISA electronic surveillance
warrants against any DC entity they wanted to watch.
I suggest that everyone half intelligent exercise some common sense when it comes to
Epstein. Only an (anti-Israel) idiot believes that Epstein/Mossad were running blackmail
operations for years with American intelligence cowed into turning a blind eye.
It's positively depressing to see Giraldi, someone I thought honorable, deployed to
distract attention from seditious filth like Brennan. Will Giraldi even mention his name
anymore? I half expect Giraldi one of these days to tell us Brennan et. al. "were keeping us
safe." Which is why Epstein and Mossad were molesting minors right under their honorable
noses.
Am I the only one (mostly) noting the pitch perfect similarity of Epstein to the Dennis
Hastert scandal 13 years ago?
I encourage you to continue to write pieces exposing the Israeli connection to much of
what ails us here in the U.S. (and the rest of the world, too).
While it will certainly be a hard row to hoe due to many factors, not the least of which
is that the Zionists have taken the long-view on many matters and this approach has given
them the upper hand, it is imperative for the prosperity and well-being of the non-Zionist
U.S. citizens.
As an aside, when I hear our rulers utter the phrase "National Security" I have to wonder
which nations security they are referring to because it sure doesn't seem to be mine.
By the way, amid all this Maxwell=Mossad business, both Maxwell and Trump procured their

Hebrew-speaking Mohamed Atta.
What links Jeffrey Epstein to 9 11 and to Mossad?
The mainstream media is so thoroughly controlled by Mossad and its friends that the general
public is unlikely to find out.
Virginia Roberts became Jeffrey Epstein's sex slave in 1999.
Epstein's Black Book lists a number of people whom Mossad and its friends may have wanted
to blackmail and control prior to the events of 9 11 .
Jeffrey Epstein's girl Nadia Marcinko/Marcinkova (above) learned to fly at Florida's Lantana Airport at about
the same time as the Hebrew-speaking Mohammad Atta, who is thought to have been a Mossad agent.
A FOIA of the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office work-release and visitor logs for the financier
turned up some troubling inconsistencies.
Jeffrey
Epstein 's lenient 2008 conviction for his sexual assaults on adolescent girls may be
described as one of the greatest travesties of justice in recent history. Brad Edwards, an
attorney for many of Epstein's victims,
announced last week that Epstein continued to prey on young women while serving his
sentence in Palm Beach. Unlike other sex offenders in Florida, Epstein had his own wing of the
Palm Beach County jail and liberal work-release policies. Due to this new information, the
Miami Herald reported, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office (PBSO) has suddenly opened
an internal-affairs
investigation of Epstein's incarceration.
As part of my research on the Epstein case, I sent an FOIA request earlier this summer to
the PBSO concerning Jeffrey Epstein (inmate No. W35755). I asked for two records: Work-Release
List entries and the Visitor Information Log. Six days later, I received an email requesting
that I phone to clarify my request. I thought this was strange because "Work-Release List" and
"Visitor Information Log" are the exact names of documents that I already knew the PBSO
maintained.
The officer I spoke to on the phone seemed reluctant to provide the records. He intimated
that they were for an older inmate and probably not kept. When I pressed him, he then described
the records as possibly hand-written and difficult to obtain. It seemed as if there might be no
records, but then inexplicably, several days later, an email with three PDF attachments arrived
in my inbox.
The Palm Beach Sheriff's Office sent me 149 pages of "Work Release" sign-in sheets in two
"batches." Additionally, they returned a single-page Visitor Log. (However, I already had other
Visitor Logs for Epstein from other sources, which suggests they did not release all the
records to me.) Many of the Work Release forms were duplicates and not 149 separate records for
each of his work-release days. If someone did not comb through each page carefully, they might
falsely believe all the relevant records were provided.
Another document I obtained (separately from this FOIA) was of a fax sent by the PBSO (Media
Relations division) that contained work-release sign-in/sign-out sheets for 10 days in July
2009, plus "Extra Duty" records for several days when Palm Beach Sheriff's officers provided
private security for Jeffrey Epstein. The documents in this fax were not included in the
response to my FOIA request.
In total, the records I assembled contained 77 actual days of Jeffrey Epstein's work
release from October 2008 through July 2009. The top of the form identifies it as a "Work
Release Log," the day of the week, and the date. Below is the name of the prisoner (Jeffrey
Epstein) with his sign-out time (8 a.m. or 10 a.m.) and his sign-in time for when he returns
from work. Both the sheriff's deputy and Epstein were required to sign separately each day when
he left and when he returned.

the guardian Two of Jeffrey Epstein's alleged accomplices are running businesses from a Manhattan property linked to the wealthy
sex offender under new identities, years after appearing to have left his scandal-plagued entourage.
Nada Marcinkova and Sarah Kellen, who were questioned by lawyers about whether Prince Andrew had any involvement in Epstein's
abuse of underage girls, have since reinvented themselves as Nadia Marcinko and Sarah Kensington.
Marcinkova, 29, is now a pilot and the chief executive of Aviloop, a website selling discounted flying lessons and other deals
related to aviation. Kellen, 34, states that she is the owner of SLK Designs, a renovations firm.
However according to public records, both businesses have operated from addresses in a building on East 66th Street in Manhattan
majority-owned by Epstein's brother Mark, a wealthy property magnate. Two condominiums in the building sold last year for $2.5m and
$1.85m.

Marcinkova's company is officially registered with New
York authorities at the building. Import records show that Kellen's company takes deliveries there.
Jeffrey Epstein , a friend of Andrew's who was
jailed in 2008 for soliciting prostitution from a minor, was accused in 2011 court documents of using the building to house young
women. Several rented condominiums in the building have been lived in by Epstein associates, according to public records.
Mark Epstein said in a brief telephone interview on Tuesday: "I own the majority of the units in the building, but I've never
heard of those companies," referring to the firms run by Marcinkova and Kellen.
Virginia Roberts, who has long claimed that she was Epstein's "sex slave", alleged in a US court filing last week that she was
forced to have sexual relations with Andrew. The
prince vehemently
denies the allegation against him and is under intense pressure to fully account for his friendship with Epstein.
Marcinkova and Kellen were among four named Epstein associates identified by US government prosecutors as "potential co-conspirators"
who would avoid charges under the controversial plea deal Epstein struck in 2007, which saw him serve just over year in jail for
his offences.
The two women both cited their right under the US constitution to avoid incriminating themselves when they were asked a series
of questions by lawyers for alleged victims of Epstein under oath in 2010 – including whether underaged girls were forced to have
sex with Andrew.
Kellen was accused by lawyers in legal filings of "bringing girls to Epstein's mansion to be abused". According to police files,
a series alleged victims of Epstein told investigators that they were led to a massage room in Epstein's mansion in Palm Beach, Florida,
by a woman named Sarah.
One alleged victim claimed to police that she was told Marcinkova had been bought from her parents in eastern Europe by Epstein
when she was 15, according to detectives. One alleged that she was made to have sex with Marcinkova and to watch her have sex with
Epstein.
Marcinkova's biography on the Aviloop website now states: "Over the years, she has proven herself to be a distinguished entrepreneur".
In addition to carrying out international design work, Kellen is in a relationship with a successful Nascar driver, stating on her
website that "most of my fans know that I am Brian Vickers' girlfriend".
Sarah Kellen, now Kensington, with boyfriend Brian Vickers. Kellen was accused by lawyers in legal filings of 'bringing girls to
Epstein's mansion to be abused'.
The domains for both websites are registered through the same Arizona-based service that allows the identities and contact details
of the website owner to be shielded from public view.
Attorneys for Epstein did not respond to an email asking whether Epstein had assisted his former associates in any way in securing
their new identities, establishing their businesses or in maintaining the property.
Marcinkova and Kellen did not respond on Tuesday to telephone calls, voicemails, emails and text messages seeking comment. Attorneys
who represented them when they were questioned in 2010 did not respond to queries about whether they still spoke for the women.
Mark Epstein said that his brother did not own any of the units in the building. Asked how it came to be that associates of his
brother lived in the building, Mark Epstein said: "They're rentals. The ones I own, I rent all of them out." Asked whether he owned
the units where associates of his brother lived or registered businesses, Mark Epstein said: "I don't know, and even if I knew, that's
not information I'm giving you."
"I don't keep track, I've owned them for 20-something-odd years and I don't know," Mark Epstein said, when asked if he owned a
unit that according to public records Kellen once used. "There's only a few people I know who live there, such as friends," he said.
Fisten, a 30-year law enforcement veteran, said he was shocked and disgusted by what he
uncovered. In a
wide-ranging interview with CNN , the P.I. said that he was able to identify two young
women who have arranged access to girls for Epstein in recent years. He and Edwards have handed
over the names and "associated information" over to federal authorities, he said, though he did
not name the alleged fixers to CNN.
Fisten also said that his investigations led to the discovery of countless lapses in
security during the time Epstein was on work release from the Palm Beach county jail -- in a
cushy deal that allowed the convicted sex offender out of confinement 12 hours a day, six days
a week. On Friday, the Palm Beach sheriff's office announced that it had
opened its own internal investigation into whether deputies, who often referred to Epstein
as a "client" instead of an inmate in logs kept at the sheriff's office, had broken with
procedure.
Fisten told CNN that he was angered that Epstein was allowed to go to a luxury office
instead of remaining behind bars. Fisten said he was disgusted when he saw "lavish lunches
being brought into the office and a parade of young females going in and out of the place."
The Palm Beach sheriff's office now admits that Epstein was also allowed to go to his luxury
mansion and spend time there unsupervised.
Fisten tried to obtain the sheriff's office logs that should have documented the names and
ages of everyone who came into contact with Epstein during work release, but the logs "have
inexplicably vanished," he said to CNN.
"We wanted to get those logs so we could see who the girls were," Fisten said. "They're
missing. No one knows where they are."
Fisten also repeated previous claims that Epstein wielded his power to silence his accusers
during and after his incarceration, even hiring his own private investigators who were paid to
harass his victims. "They were former Miami cops," Fisten told CNN. "He paid an extremely large
retainer to them and all their job to do was to follow the girls around and intimidate
them."
Fisten even ran into Epstein's private investigators first hand. Once, when driving
one of Epstein's accusers home, he told CNN he saw one of Epstein's detectives parked across
from her house filming her comings and goings. Fisten said the father of another of Epstein's
accusers was "run off the road" by one of the former cops in Epstein's employ.
Of Epstein's alleged victims, Fisten noted, "Once these girls lost their braces and their
pubescent look and started becoming 16-years old or 17-years old, they were too old for
him."
"So then he started using them as recruiters to bring the younger girls."
Epstein was
denied bail on Thursday as he faces federal sex
trafficking charges in New York. Fisten says the victims finally feel that justice could be
served. "They couldn't be happier," he told CNN. "It's all they ever wanted."
So
rumors are now circulating that there will be a sordid if not downright horrific
Epstein-Weiner-Clinton revelation in the coming days that will finally bring down the Clintons.
Perhaps the powers behind the scenes have decided it's time to get rid of this toxic bitch.
Apropos to that, I've been looking into this Epstein character. His lawyer and best friend
is Allan Dershowitz (Dersh, under suspicion himself, now claims they were never close, despite
previous statements).
Epstein's black book contains the personal phone numbers of several former Israeli prime
ministers.
When Epstein was arrested the rumor in NY was that he was going to flee to Israel.
The pre-scandal vanity fair article expresses puzzlement over how Epstein built his fortune
(the "hedge fund manager" title may be a cover). A huge fortune it is: he lives in the most
expensive apartment in NY -- eight floors.
J. Epstein Company was set up via a 1 billion grant from Victoria's Secret owner Leslie
Wexner, who's father Harry Wexner (changed from Hagan Wexelstein) was a secretive
billionaire.
Epstein's other partner in crime was Ghislane Maxwell, the daughter of a notorious Mossad
agent named Robert Maxwell.
When Epstein was busted he was given the sweetheart deal of a lifetime.
Hidden cameras were found throughout his Florida home. Presumably hidden cameras were/are
also present on the "lolita express" (on which Bill took two dozen flights) and "sin
island."
The entranceway to his NY apartment is decorated with glass eyeballs -- an inside joke about
the cameras behind the walls?
This seems pretty cut and dried to me: Epstein was recruited by Mossad to run a honey pot
operation in order to ensnare and blackmail US and international elites. The bait was underage
girls ("forbidden fruit") and possibly even children, given the frequent trips to Thailand
etc.
Hillary Clinton should be barred from office on the grounds that she is blackmailable by the
Israelis. We might as well be electing Netanyahu to the White House. Perhaps this is an open
secret. Hillary's top five donors are Zionists.
Oddly, Epstein has claimed that he "helped found" the Clinton Foundation. Was he just
bragging about his relationship with Bill? Or could the CF itself be involved in trafficking
child sex slaves?
Like lone_geek says - if he's not Mossad, he's part of something . I knew about the
Wexner connection, but not Harry Wexner/Hagan Wexelstein (isn't that one of the villains in
Frozen?).
See - Safari Club -- a 1974 group of multiple intelligence agencies formed after the Church
Committee investigations. Formed specifically to bypass over-site / legal considerations from
governments. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safari_Club --
You have a parallel intelligence service operating outside the knowledge of the official
intelligence services. Now posit that this parallel intelligence service never shut down,
they just went corporate. If you're a part of a company you could have company "offices" all
over the globe, your travel would not be scrutinized, etc.
Whether Mossad or something else, I'm on board with all you've written. Only question is WHO
he was working for. The Ghislane Maxwell connection is telling, though.
Right - however is Ghislane Maxwell working for the "official Mossad" or the "unofficial
Mossad" -- or a shell company that works as a cut-out for either of the official or
unofficial groups.
Exactly. I was just banned from another board today for posting the same thing.
Every single politician who spent time partying with Epstein should be removed from
office. We have to assume that each one represents a security threat.
Yes, I've thought Epstein, Monica Lewinsky, the new Congressman junkets to Israel, the
israelis caught with foreign passports, are all Mossad gathering blackmail evidence to
control our leaders. "Through deception thou shalt do war."
"... What Epstein has been up to is so obscene that it is now toxic to be associated with him. Everyone who claimed to be his friend are now running a mile from him. ..."
"... But what if it is revealed that he had created this cesspool at the direction of Israel i.e. that the main motivation for this honey-pot was to provide Israel with blackmail material. ..."
"... If that happened then a politician would run a mile at the mere sight of a lobby bag-man, because to be associated with them is to be tarred in a way that no amount of money could ever overcome. ..."
"... I am certain that there are still honest people in the US intelligence community, and I would bet very good money that they are looking very closely at this as a chance to stab the Israel lobby through the heart with a wooden stake. ..."
The thing I find most intriguing about the Epstein affair is possibility that it provides a
"hook" for the US intelligence community to really go after the Israeli lobby.
After all, going up against the *money* of the lobby is a forlorn hope - there is no way
to fight them on that battlefield.
But this? No, this is different.
What Epstein has been up to is so obscene that it is now toxic to be associated with
him. Everyone who claimed to be his friend are now running a mile from him.
But what if it is revealed that he had created this cesspool at the direction of Israel
i.e. that the main motivation for this honey-pot was to provide Israel with blackmail
material.
If that happened then a politician would run a mile at the mere sight of a lobby
bag-man, because to be associated with them is to be tarred in a way that no amount of
money could ever overcome.
I am certain that there are still honest people in the US intelligence community, and I
would bet very good money that they are looking very closely at this as a chance to stab
the Israel lobby through the heart with a wooden stake.
Jeffrey Epstein's Private Pilot Dishes On All The Famous Men Who Flew On The Lolita
Express Photo: Getty Leah
Scher Editor Entertainment And News July 21, 2019 He
was Epstein's main pilot for the past two decades.
Meet Larry Visoski, the pilot of the Lolita Express, Jeffrey Epstein's private fleet of
planes. For the past 20 years, Visoski (or Capt Big Dawg, as Instagram affectionately knows
him) has flown Epstein around the world, including the trips that shuttled underage girls
between his two mansions in New York and Palm Beach. Recently, photos of the luxury aircrafts'
updated interior were released, bringing Visoski to prominence and shedding light on Epstein's
jet-setting travels. What is there to know about this man? Who is Larry Visoski?
1. Visoski has shuttled celebs
like President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker
Most notably, Visoski flew Epstein's 50-year-old 727 jetliner, n
icknamed the Lolita Express , which is worth $80M! The 727-31 aircraft, tag number N908JE,
was repainted on the outside from it's early silver and black color. Today it's all white with
thin stripes. Visoski still flies two of Epstein's private planes, as well as a helicopter. One
Instagram friend of his asked how long he's been flying 727s and he replied, "Flying the three
wholer (sic) about 14 years now, includes three times around the world, she's got the
room!"
2. The luxury aircraft, which was built in 1969,
was modernized around 2014
The updated interior features a circular lounge with recessed lighting,
comfy plush beige chairs , and a spacious bedroom with an open closet. In another room that
looks like an office, an Apple laptop and iPad sit on a desk surrounded by red velvet chairs
and a sofa. In the kitchen area, photos show a blender, coffee machine, sandwich grill, oven
and microwave.
3. This aircraft has allegedly shuttled Epstein's underage victims
In 2015, Virginia Roberts filed a lawsuit against the billionaire claiming that he recruited
her as a sex slave when she was 15. She says he sexually abused her for years on his private
jet as well as in his various homes in New York, New Mexico, Florida, and the U.S. Virgin
Islands. According to FAA records, the aircraft was registered to JEGE INC, Epstein's Delaware
firm. As of 2018, the registration was still active. However, a more recent report showed that
Epstein sold the aircraft weeks before his July 6 arrest. Visoski has not been accused of any
role in Epstein's crimes.
4. The 727 is often referred to as a "three holer"
because of its three engines clustered around the tail
The aircraft's full name is actually Boeing 727. It's a narrow, three-engined vehicle built
by Boeing Commercial Airplanes from the early 1960s to 1980s. A combination of comments made
and photos taken by Visoski show repeated trips to many locations between 2014 and 2019, such
as: St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands; the Exuma chain and Eleuthera in the Bahamas; St.
Bart's in the Caribbean; Seattle, Washington; Manhattan Beach, California; Paris, France;
Germany; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Cabo San Lucas in Mexico. The
Washington Examiner also notes a trip to Dubai and Abu Dhabi that isn't
photographed.
5. Visoski, an avid photographer, used a GoPro to capture some shots of the
aircraft
In addition to the Boeing 757, some of Visoski's
now deleted Instagram captions specifically mention a Gulfstream 550 and a Bell 430
helicopter. According to the Washington Examiner , the post that (likely) spurred
Visoski to delete his Instagram account was a selfie he posted in late 2016, with then-top
Trump presidential transition team member and now counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway,
at Palm Beach International Airport, which drew attention on Twitter earlier this week. Some of
his captions included #MAGA hashtags. He described Conway as "a very Humble and gracious Lady,
#kellyanneconway #kellyanne #trump #election2016."
6. Epstein was deemed a flight risk by a federal
judge (pun intended).
The federal judge presiding over Epstein's case denied him bail,
agreeing with prosecutors that "the seriousness of his crimes, his mysterious wealth,
international travel, and possession of a foreign passport with a fake name from the 1980s make
him a threat to the community."
What do you think? Is Visoski is totally innocent? Did he who he was shuttling? He was
definitely complicit -- but should he face consequences? Leave your thoughts in the
comments!

Just posting this for posterity, as I've seen this information before:
"Bill Clinton was one of the most famous and frequent passengers on Epstein's "Lolita Express" and a guest on his private island.
When Roberts asked Epstein about Clinton's presence on the island, he simply laughed it off, and said, "Well, he owes me a favour."[37]
Epstein also donated money to the Clinton Foundation even after his conviction. In early 2015, a photo emerged showing Ghislaine
Maxwell at the wedding of Chelsea Clinton to Jewish investment banker Marc Mezvinsky in July 2010.
An annotated copy of the address book turned up in court proceedings after Epstein's former house manager Alfredo Rodriguez
tried to sell it in 2009. Rodriguez characterized it as containing the "Holy Grail" or "Golden Nugget" to unraveling Epstein's
child-sex network."[38] The book, which was eventually obtained by the FBI, listed well-known political figures such as Prince
Bandar of Saudi Arabia, Tony Blair, Senator Edward Kennedy, and Henry Kissinger, Ehud Barak, John Kerry, David Rockefeller and
even Donald Trump."
So...Kraft goes down, and there are supposedly even more "interesting" names on the list of those who were serviced by those
toothless asian whores. Could this be part of some unreal blackmail scheme against Trump?? Or is this **** TRUE, and we have a
pedophile in our highest office??
I don't know what the truth is any more. Maybe someone smarter than me can make sense of this ****. I sure can't.
The **** smell of all of this is simply overwhelming. He is not just a pedophile. He was and probably still is a Mossad
agent whose purpose it was to entrap mainly US politicians and power bookers with the extremely compromising film evidence he
was later found to be obtaining from the various elite junkets to his little island.
He and his Israeli handlers simply have too much on too many people for Epstein to really pay for any of his crimes, which
crimes many spy agencies around the world engage in frequently. However, what should really piss Americans off is that Epstein
was doing his dirt mainly against Americans for Israel, and Israel was supposed to be a trusted friend and ally of the US, working
in close concert with US spy agencies and forces in destroying nations like Iraq and Syria and pulling off false flag operations
like 9/11.

I've had many strange experiences in my decades of covering intelligence affairs.
These run from being invited to KGB HQ in Moscow, Chinese intelligence in Beijing, US
intelligence in Virginia, Libyan intelligence in Tripoli, South African intelligence, and even
Albanian intelligence in Tirana.
But none was odder than the day I was invited to lunch in New York City with the by now
notorious figure Jeffrey Epstein.
The golden boy of Manhattan and Palm Beach society now
sits in a grim jail cell accused of having sex with underage girls. He's been doing this in plain
view since the early 1990's but, until recently, he seemed bullet-proof.
Soon after I walked into the entrance of Epstein's mansion on E 71st Street, said to be the
city's largest private home, a butler asked me,
"would you like an intimate massage, sir,
by a pretty young girl?"
This offer seemed so out of place and weird to me that
I
swiftly declined
.
More important than indelicacy, as an old observer of intelligence affairs,
to me
this offer reeked of ye old honey trap
, a tactic to ensnare and blackmail people that
was old when Babylon was young. A discreet room with massage table, lubricants
and,
no doubt, cameras stood ready off the main lobby
.
I had arrived with Canada's leading lady journalist who was then close to Epstein's sometime
girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell and, it was said, procuress – something Maxwell denies.
Bizarrely, Maxwell believed that I could get KGB Moscow Center to release satellite photos that
showed the murder on his yacht of her father, the press baron Robert Maxwell, who was a
well-known double agent for Israel and KGB, and a major criminal.
Also present was the self-promoting lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, who had saved the accused murderer
Claus von Bulow, as well as a titan of the New York real estate industry (not Trump) and assorted
bigwigs of the city's elite Jewish society. All sang the praises of Israel.
Epstein reportedly had ties to Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Britain's Prince Andrew and
repeatedly flew them about in his private jet, aka "the Lolita Express." All guests deny any sexual
activity. I turned down dinner with Prince Andrew.
Epstein's residence in Manhattan and Palm Beach, both of which I visited, were stocked
with young female "masseuses."
All were working class girls making big money in their
spare time. I did not see any interactions between these girls and the guests.
Epstein and Maxwell became too big for their britches. They flaunted their sexual adventures and
laughed at New York society.
Everyone wondered about the source of Epstein's lavish income
but no one knew its origins.
He claimed to be an exclusive money manager for a group of
secretive millionaires. But the only one identified was billionaire Leslie Wexner, the owner of L
Brands and Victoria's Secret. Wexner denied any knowledge of Epstein's alleged crimes.
Besides sexual frolics, Epstein and Maxwell were up to many odd things. The FBI found diamonds,
cash and a fake passport when raiding his mansion and documents showing his net worth at
$559,120,954.00. The IRS tax people will be eager to review the sources of this income.
It seems likely that political influence was brought to bear on then US attorney Alexander
Acosta (he just resigned under fire last week) to make a sweetheart deal with Epstein, who had been
charged by Florida with child molestation. Epstein got off with a token, 13-month jail sentence
that allowed him to work from his office much of the day.
Were Trump or Clinton involved? How much did they "party" with Epstein and revel in his
fleshmart? There was talk of some sort of
"intelligence" angle
to the affaire
Epstein that spared him a harsh sentence.
A respected former CIA official, Phil Giraldi has come right out and accused Epstein of
being an Israeli agent of influence.
Epstein was let off with a slap on the wrist on his
first child abuse charge, says Giraldi, because of his powerful Israel connections.
To Giraldi and this writer,
the Epstein "massage" operation was a classic intelligence
operation designed to blackmail men of influence into doing Israel's bidding.
Clinton had
reportedly already fallen into this trap years earlier while still president.
Now watch this stinking pile of corruption be hurriedly covered up. Talk about draining the
swamp.
Trump is a Mafia punk, protege of Roy Cohn, dead of AIDS in
1986. Only the brain dead would believe Trump is the lamb in
this orgy. As for Epstein being a Mossad asset, probably. As
for the CIA & NSA not knowing, absolutely impossible! This
operation was most probably overseen, if not created, by the
CIA, with NSA help, and tit bits handed to Mossad for European
and ME operations.
Trump was likely warned about Epstein by his mobster
mentors/friends from the start. No doubt Trump did tell his
buddy Epstein to keep that **** out of his properties, who
wouldn't? 'Don't **** where I eat'. Clinton knew as well but
never gave a crap because He and HRC were probably protected
CIA assets extending back to the AR drug smuggling days.
Because it is a strange business, costing lots of money and
achieving ..... what exactly? Ah ...., national security -- ain't
that nice!!
Anyone taking bets that Epstein will not live to
tell all his tales?
He probably has two years because he cannot be removed
before all the excitement's died down but removed he will be.

Underaged sex with Alan Dershowitz and Prince Andrew...and Bill Clinton...? (If the claims are true, Hillary is OVER.)
Wow.
A court filing in a civil case in Florida last week included new allegations against Jeffrey E. Epstein, a businessman
who pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution, and two other high-profile men: a member of the British Royal family and an American
lawyer.
The motion filed in United States District Court in the Southern District of Florida alleges that Mr. Epstein forced a teenage
girl to have sexual relations with several men, including Prince Andrew, Queen Elizabeth's second son, and Alan M. Dershowitz,
a professor emeritus at Harvard Law School. Both men have denied the allegations.
Jeffrey Epstein is not just a businessman. He's a billionaire, and he has already been convicted of soliciting underaged prostitution.
About the royal: Some of you may argue that if there was an encounter, the Prince may have been unaware of the girl's age.
He has people . People who make arrangements for him. One can see how such a fellow might hear the same knock on the door
that Neil Bush once heard. Perhaps, upon opening the door, his first reaction was something other than "May I see your ID, Miss?"
That scenario seems plausible. However, as we shall see, that scenario is not what has been alleged.
We will get to the Prince in a bit. For now, let's focus on Dershowitz.
On Saturday, Mr. Dershowitz said he "categorically and unequivocally" denied all of the allegations. He said he would file
disbarment proceedings against the lawyers who filed the motion, Bradley J. Edwards, a lawyer in Florida, and Paul G. Cassell,
a former federal judge and a law professor at the University of Utah.
"They are lying deliberately, and I will not stop until they're disbarred," Mr. Dershowitz said in a phone interview.
The very predictability of that furious reaction means that no lawyer would have filed such charges against Dershowitz frivolously.
Cassell has an impressive resume. He's not a young go-getter out to make a name for himself.
I understand that there are a lot of women who have made iffy claims against famous people. But this case seems different. Epstein
has already pled guilty. Moreover, Dershowitz was part of Epstein's legal team.
The full court filing was published on
Mondoweiss a couple of days ago. We learn
that the complainant, Jane Doe #3, was 15 years of age, and that she was recruited by an Epstein associate named Ghislaine Maxwell,
daughter of Robert Maxwell (the late news tycoon and known Mossad asset). The photo to the left shows the Prince with the girl who
seems to have been Jane Doe #3. Allegedly, the shot was taken by Epstein. (Note: In what follows, the term NPA refers
to non-prosecution agreement .)
Epstein then became enamored with Jane Doe #3, and with the assistance of Maxwell converted her into what is commonly referred
to as a "sex slave." Epstein kept Jane Doe #3 as his sex slave from about 1999 through 2002, when she managed to escape to a foreign
country and hide out from Epstein and his co-conspirators for years. From 1999 and 2002, Epstein frequently sexually abused Jane
Doe #3, not only in West Palm Beach but also in New York, New Mexico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, in international airspace on Epstein's
private planes, and elsewhere.
Epstein also sexually trafficked the then-minor Jane Doe, making her available for sex to politically-connected and financially-powerful
people. Epstein's purposes in "lending" Jane Doe (along with other young girls) to such powerful people were to ingratiate himself
with them for business, personal, political and financial gain, as well as to obtain potential blackmail information.
One such powerful individual that Epstein forced then-minor Jane Doe #3 to have sexual relations with was former Harvard Law
Professor Alan Dershowitz, a close friend of Epstein's and well-known defense attorney. Epstein required Jane Doe #3 to have sexual
relations with Dershowiz on numerous occasions while she was a minor, not only in Flroida but also on private planes, in New York,
New Mexico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In addition to being a participant in the abuse of Jane Doe #3 and other minors, Dershowitz
was an eye-witness to the sexual abuse of many other minors by Epstein and several of Epstein's co-conspirators. Dershowitz would
later play a significant role in negotiating the NPA on Esptein's behalf. Indeed, Dershowitz helped negotiate an agreement that
provided immunity from federal prosecution in the Southern District of Florida not only to Epstein, but also to "any potential
co-conspirators of Epstein." NPA at 5. Thus, Dershowitz helped negotiate an agreement with a provision that provided protection
for himself against criminal prosecution in Florida for sexually abusing Jane Doe #3. Because this broad immunity would have been
controversial if disclosed, Dershowitz (along with other memebers of Epstein's defense team) and the Government tried to keep
the immunity provision secret from all of Epstein's victims and the general public, even though such secrecy violated the Crime
Victims' Rights Act.
There's a third named participant in these doings, one Jean Luc Brunel, a close Epstein friend and a scout for various modelling
agencies.
He would bring young girls (ranging from ages as young as twelve) to the United States for sexual purposes and farm them out to
his friends, especially Epstein. Brunel would offer the girls "modeling" jobs. Many of the girls came from poor countries or impoverished
backgrounds, and he lured them in with a promise of making good money.
The Government was well aware of Jane Doe #3 when it was negotiating the NPA, as it listed her as a victim in the attachment to
the NPA. Moreover, even a rudimentary investigation of Jane Doe #3's relationship with Epstein would have revealed the fact that
she had been trafficked throughout the United States and internationally for sexual purposes. Nonetheless, the Government secretly
negotiated a non-prosecution agreement with Epstein precluding any Federal prosecution in the Southern District of Florida of
Epstein and his co-conspirators. As with Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2, the Government concealed the non-prosecution agreement from
Jane Doe #3 -- all in violation of her rights under the CVRA -- to avoid Jane Doe #3 from raising powerful objections to the NPA
that would have shed tremendous light on Epstein and other powerful individuals that would likely have prevented it from being
conlcuded in the secretive manner in which it was.
The document also mentions a Jane Doe #4, an impoverished sixteen year old who was told that she could make $300 by giving a "massage"
to an old man in Palm Beach.
This matter seems very serious. We have too many details, too many corroborating witnesses (in the form of four Jane Does). We
have a photo. We have reports of the existence of many, many more photos. The hugger-mugger involving the NPA seems downright ghastly
-- yet all too credible.
Frankly, I would not rule out the possibility that Epstein was working for an intelligence agency -- either Mossad or one of our
own. The Maxwell connection points to Mossad.
This whole business has "honeytrap" written all over it.
The Clinton connection.
The
Daily Mail discloses that one of Epstein's, er, protegees was a woman named Johanna Sjoberg. Since the story links her to Prince
Andrew, it is tempting suppose that she is the aforementioned Jane Doe #3. However, British newspapers have named another young woman,
Virginia Roberts.
Miss Sjoberg worked for Epstein for four years, often massaging him as he lay on a couch in his giant bathroom making phone calls
to friends such as Bill Clinton and Cate Blanchett.
He kept a little black book, containing the numbers of all his masseuses by a phone in the bathroom, she said. She left after
he started becoming 'more aggressive' in his demands that she 'do sexual things to him'.
She said she was aware that the girls recruited by Epstein and his acolytes were not paid just for massages but for 'sexual
favours'.
Virginia Roberts revealed that as a 17-year-old 'erotic masseuse', she was flown by Epstein to London to meet Prince Andrew,
Miss Sjoberg said: 'I'm not surprised he was sending girls abroad. I just did not think they were so young.'
The Prince strongly denies any claim of impropriety, of course.
What about Epstein and Clinton? Obviously, there is nothing wrong in taking a man's phone call, even a call from someone like
Epstein. However...
Bill Clinton was also named dozens of times in lawsuits against Epstein and was alleged to have flown on his private jet more
than 10 times.
Flight logs in lawsuits detailed that between 2002 and 2005 the former US President traveled around the world courtesy of his
friend and stopped at Epstein's Caribbean island Little St James where young girls were supposedly kept as sex slaves.
Clinton was deemed to be so close to Epstein that he was nearly deposed during the investigation into his paedophilia.
Before he was jailed Epstein's other acquaintances are said to have been former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak; former New
Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson; and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers.
Let's make the obvious point. If there is any evidence of wrongdoing against Bill Clinton, then Hillary's chances at the nomination
are over . A candidacy can withstand many things, but a statutory rape scandal involving one's spouse? No.
Over the years, the casually-dressed, globe-trotting financier, who was said to log more than 600 flying hours a year, has been
linked with Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey, Chris Tucker and Manhattan-London society figure Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of the late
media titan Robert Maxwell.
Epstein reportedly flew Tucker and Spacey to Africa on his private jet as part of a charitable endeavour. Clinton, meanwhile,
flew on multiple occasions in the same plane to Epstein's private Caribbean island, Little St James, between 2002 and 2005 as
he developed his philanthropic post-presidential career. It would later be alleged in court that Epstein organised orgies on that
same private island in the US Virgin Islands.
Reports in the US media say many of the A-list names broke off any links with the former maths teacher after his arrest and conviction
in 2008 of having sex with an underage girl whom he had solicited. His arrest followed an 11-month undercover investigation at
a mansion in Florida's Palm Beach that Epstein owned.
In 2008, he pleaded guilty to a single charge of soliciting prostitution and was handed a 18-month jail sentence. He served
13 months in jail and was obliged to register as a sex offender. A 2011 report in the New York Post said that he celebrated his
release from jail and his return to a property he maintains in New York – a 45,000-sq-foot eight-storey mansion on East 71st Street
– with Prince Andrew.
The story goes on to give much useful information about Epstein's business dealings.
The financier, who was jailed for 18 months in 2008 after pleading guilty to solicitation for prostitution, kept a sickening stash
of images on a computer seized at his Palm Beach mansion in 2006.
The six-year-old papers, seen by the Sunday People, state: "Some of the photographs in the defendant's possession were taken
with hidden cameras set up in [Epstein's] home in Palm Beach.
"On the Day of his arrest, police found two hidden cameras and photographs of underage girls on a computer in the defendant's
home.
"[He] may have taken lewd photographs of Jane Doe 102 with his hidden cameras and transported [them] to his other residences
and elsewhere."
Court papers also allege that Maxwell presented nude pictures of her she had taken herself to Epstein as a birthday present.
They add that Roberts' claims that she was forced to tell Epstein all about her sexual encounters so he could use the information
to "blackmail" the royal.
She further claims she was sex-trafficked to "many other powerful men, including numerous prominent American politicians, powerful
business executives, foreign presidents, a well known Prime Minister, and other world leaders".
And now let's play our game: Who was that Prime Minister?
To- neeeeee...! If that's you, you're gonna have to say so many rosaries that even the Virgin Mary will get sick of hearing
your voice.
This scandal places our right-wing media in a bind. Obviously, the right-wingers will want to leap on anything that dirties the
Clinton name. On the other hand, anything that reeks of Mossad involvement is untouchable.
"... As the Jeffrey Epstein case continues to unfold, a laundry list of celebrities, business magnates and socialites who have flown anywhere near the registered sex offender's orbit are now tainted with pedo-polonium. Many of them, such as Bill Clinton, Ehud Barak , and Victoria's Secret boss Les Wexner have sought to distance themselves from Epstein and his activities - however their attempts have fallen on deaf ears considering their extensive ties to the pedophile. ..."
"... As Vanity Fair 's Gabriel Sherman notes, "The questions about Epstein are metastasizing much faster than they can be answered: Who knew what about Epstein's alleged abuse?

As Vanity Fair
's Gabriel Sherman notes, "The questions about Epstein are metastasizing much faster than they can be answered: Who knew what about
Epstein's alleged abuse? How, and from whom, did Epstein get his supposed $500 million fortune? Why did Acosta grant Epstein an outrageously
lenient non-prosecution agreement? (And what does it mean that Acosta was reportedly told Epstein " belonged to intelligence "?)"
Also illuminating is a statement by attorney Brad Edwards, who said during a Wednesday press conference seated next to Epstein
accuser Courtney Wild that "There were other business associates of Mr. Epstein's who engaged in improper sexual misconduct at
one or more of his homes. We do know that," adding " In due time the names are going to start coming out. "
What's more, the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit will release of approximately 2,000 pages of documents, likely
over the next several days, which may reveal sex crimes committed by "numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business
executives, foreign presidents, a well-known prime minister, and other world leaders," according to the court's three-judge panel.
The documents were filed during a civil defamation lawsuit brought by Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre, a former
Mar-a-Lago locker-room attendant, against Epstein's former girlfriend and alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell. "Nobody who was around
Epstein a lot is going to have an easy time now. It's all going to come out," said Giuffre's lawyer David Boies. Another person
involved with litigation against Epstein told me: "It's going to be staggering, the amount of names. It's going to be contagion
numbers." - Vanity
Fair
Other famous names associated with Epstein include LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman , Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg , who Musk
introduced to the registered sex-offender. Zuckerberg spokesman told Vanity Fair "Mark met Epstein in passing one time at a dinner
honoring scientists that was not organized by Epstein," adding "Mark did not communicate with Epstein again following the dinner."
Musk told the magazine "I don't recall introducing Epstein to anyone, as I don't know the guy well enough to do so, Epstein is
obviously a creep and Zuckerberg is not a friend of mine. Several years ago, I was at his house in Manhattan for about 30 minutes
in the middle of the afternoon with Talulah [Riley], as she was curious about meeting this strange person for a novel she was writing.
We did not see anything inappropriate at all, apart from weird art. He tried repeatedly to get me to visit his island. I declined."
According to one source, Epstein had a steady stream of who's who's flowing into his Manhattan mansion, including Bill Gates,
Larry Summers, and Steve Bannon .
"Jeffrey collected people. That's what he did," the source told Vanity Fair .
Thus far, the name most publicly associated with Epstein's alleged crimes is famed lawyer Alan Dershowitz, who's been waging
a public battle with David Boies for years. In April, Boies's client Giuffre sued Dershowitz for defamation after Dershowitz called
her a liar (a strategy similar to that of seven of Bill Cosby 's
accusers
). In the days since the FBI arrested Epstein at Teterboro Airport a week and a half ago, Dershowitz has been going on television
and dialing up friends and reporters to profess his innocence and label Giuffre and Boies liars. "I want everything to come out!
I'm not afraid of anything because I did nothing wrong," Dershowitz told me on the afternoon of July 15.
He called me a minute after I had emailed him for comment. He said he'd been friends with Epstein since 1996, when they were
introduced at a party on Martha's Vineyard by Lynn Forester de Rothschild. "She begged me to meet him. She told me, 'here's this
smart academic.'" A few days later, Epstein invited Dershowitz to Les Wexner 's 59th birthday party at Wexner's mansion in New
Albany, Ohio. "It's a tradition that Jeff invited the smartest person he met that year. He told them I was the smartest." They
remained close for years.
Dershowitz strenuously denied ever participating in Epstein's underage sex ring and said he'd only been in Epstein's presence
with his wife. "I got one massage!" he told me. "It was from a 50-year-old Russian woman named Olga. And I kept my shorts on.
I didn't even like it. I'm not a massage guy." -
Vanity Fair
DC on edge
"Epstein bragged about his contacts in Washington," said attorney David Boies.
According to the report, "One theory circulating among prominent Republicans is that Epstein was a Mossad agent. Another is that
the George W. Bush White House directed Acosta not to prosecute Epstein to protect Prince Andrew on behalf of the British government."
"The royal family did everything they could to try and discredit the Prince Andrew stuff," said Boies. "When we tried to follow
up with anything, we were stonewalled. We wanted to interview him, they were unwilling to do anything. "
And now we await those documents. Meanwhile, Epstein's bail hearing is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. on Thursday. remove Share

Copy Apparently Ghislaine Maxwell is a Mossad agent who is licensed to pilot Jet planes and even Submarines.
About 30 minutes in they begin to discuss Epstein, the Maxwell's, and Mossad
How big of an event will be required to divert attention from this? What will it be? Terrorist attack, complete financial meltdown,
assassination, war? I find it almost inconceivable that the full extent of the truth will come out or that justice will not only
be done but seen to be done. This Epstein affair personifies all that is wrong in our societies (not just the USA).
Recall Trump's executive order 13818 Blocking the Property of Persons Involved in Serious Human Rights Abuse or Corruption. He is going for the jugular
Another "document dump" eh... How depressing... knowing you'll be spending the next 10++ years of your life watching too much of the greatest scum on the
planet escape the Rule of Law.
Trump attacked Hillary during 2016 elections campaign using change of Bill connection with Epstein. This was too dangerous move
if he himself was implicated.

Interesting post in that it raises many of the key issues and how they may fit together.
Generally agrees with my initial (or maybe secondary) impression that this is result of Trump triggering backmail clause by
failing to act as required by those running the show.
But, I have I think a better theory more fits the situation. Acosta (the human "sh*t-grenade) was hired because he knew stuff
and knew people who knew stuff. Trump was being blackmailed with Epstein affair - dems/cia/etc... It almost work, he almost attacked
Iran, was led to believe it could be done in a way that would not lead to war - likely by you-know-who.
He balked and called their "bluff". They were not bluffing. Problem for them is that Trump can maybe weather the sh*t-storm
they can bring - comey/brennan/clapper/et al... For now, I am inclined to side with Trump.
I don't know why but in spite of his lack of polish, he's brought some crude and interesting results.
Epstein was just a young "dirty old man". Trump is innocent - can anybody point to any incident where Trump committed a real felony,
not some breach of landlord regulations, For all the accusations of him being the capo di tutti capi, nothing has really stuck,
so he gives the impression of being a criminal but really isn't but it's good theatre. So my guess is that Trump told Barr to
go to it and bring Epstein in and bang him up for life. Reasons:
Trump was getting bored with Acosta
Epstein may drag down others - the Clintons being prime candiadates
This is a poke in the eye for Obama
Trump looks good when Epstein does the time he deserves
Meanwhile the anti-#resistance investigations role on and implicate Hillary for making false statements and Obama for trying
to fix the 2016 election.
Trump'll romp home in 2020. If Adelson, etc. tries to push another Republican candidate, Trump'll run as an independent and probably
still win. Trump now has his main "problems" by the balls.
'Appalled' does not suffice any longer. All this shit is more than a mentally healthy Human Being can bear - and in that fact
lies also a motive to bombard the population 24/7 with shit like that. Therefore it appears that this, too is part of an orchestrated
effort to rile up people against each other and destroy whatever peace still exists.
You could call it 'distraction' from insurmountable problems created by this specific sub-species of Homo Sapiens. But I am
not commenting about that.
I am as pissed as a decent person can get without losing its temper. But I am utterly disgusted that this childfucker Epstein
has soiled the name of one of my favorite Human Beings in history:
Brian Epstein - the one person that gave Humanity The Beatles.
I can not emphasize enough how effed up this is. There must be a court order to rename him into Jeffrey Childfucker, in order
to protect the name of one of the greatest music managers ever.
But I do concede to the fact, that this kind of damage might as well limited to people who know who The Beatles were.
The wealthy class has defeated the poor class. What we are seeing now is a civil war in the wealthy class. The Epstein business
is just one of the skirmishes in that civil war.
Today's CJR media feed focuses on Acosta and the 2007 plea deal without mentioning either Bush or Obama. Focus is still on Trump.
Of course Acosta is now a member of the Trump administration. But Trump was not in charge with this particular POS went down.
Trump is fighting for his life and money. Lose the next election and spend the rest of both fighting imprisonment. What makes
me think its time to remind people that the office of POTUS has teeth?
"I was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to leave it alone,"
does not say he "worked for intelligence". It might just mean that "intelligence" made the deal with him in return for
information and that they then estimated the fall out and cleaned up (ie took people that could be blackmailed out of sensitive
positions).
They don't care about the fall out any longer, so this now is allowed to blow up.
"The left is going wild thinking that this will "get Trump" but quite the opposite is happening. . .
Now this story will run into 2020 largely damaging democrats into the 2020 election. Trump's DOJ is running the operation."
That is my perception, although I am not a qualified observer.
But as to the "why now" of Epstein, surely it is 2020. As for Barr being a CIA kid, that does give some pause, except he
is working for Trump, and so presumably he is playing his part in the 2020 event.
From what I have read and heard, Trump is not tainted by the Epstein story. The attempts of those on the left or whatever
(I can't even call it the left anymore) to associate Trump with the Epstein story are very belabored. "Grabbing pussy" of adult
women who cluster around is not the same as recruiting young girls and teenagers and running sex camps for grown-up boys such
as Randy Andy, RAndy Bill, and other Randy boys.
To me the big question is why Dersh was part of the FOIA action to unseal the docs. If just appearing in a photo with Epstein
is enough for "the left" to try to hang Trump, the Dersh is in a lot more image trouble, with him name on the plane manifest.
Is Trump's name on the plane log? I don't think so. So, imagewise Dersh is going to take a big hit. And, by defending Trump
last summer as he did, he has now associated himself with both Trump and Epstein. Trump comes out clean. Dersh comes out Derty.
PS. Why is so much blacked out on the plane logs that have been published?
the Macow sounds "about right" to me, but only "about." I can very well imagine that Dersh is taking orders from the JSP, but
if he rode the Lolita Expres, he is in trouble.
AFAIK Trump did not ride the Lolita Express. The rumors about raping a 13-year-old in Epstein's apartment will have to
become more than rumor to harm Trump, no matter how much the left pushes an Epstein = Trump narrative.
As they pushed the Weinstein = Trump narrative. I.e., whenever you see Weinstein's name, think "Trump." But I don't think
that really worked except with the very ones who were pushing that equation in the first place. In other words, auto-suggestion.
O @110 sez: "...every good gamblers knows to hedge their bets.
You bet equally on both wrestlers in the ring? You don't make much profit that way. Much better to arrange who wins ahead of
time with the competitors and the referee and then just bet on the one everyone agrees to make the winner.
Sure, Trump was in on the fix, so even if he won the power elites still win, but that is true for all of the other contestants
in the primaries as well, with the possible exception of Sanders. The problem is that the power elites have very specific plans,
and those plans depended upon their tool in the White House being Clinton, not Trump. It isn't that Trump would be their enemy
or anything silly like that, but rather that a Trump victory would not resonate; would not synergize with the megatrends they
were manufacturing within the population.
On the contrary, the Trump victory introduced a societal forcing function that is 180° out of sync with the larger narrative
the power elites were trying to create. Trump was chosen to be the loser in the 2016 elections because his defeat would have had
the opposite effect, damping trends in society that the power elites wanted quashed and reinforcing the ones that they wanted
amplified. Hundreds of $billions in entertainment-base narrative generation that have been fed to the public since 2016, and had
been in the production pipeline from years prior, were supposed to be reflected in the real world by the victory of the first
woman president. Instead that media is being fed to the public while the top office in the world is occupied by an unrepentant
pussy grabber. The messaging is diametrically opposed and interferes with itself rather than reinforcing itself.
Sure, Trump is still the tool of the power elites, but he is not the tool they were planning on.
"I am trying to link Wexner with the Bronfman's (Seagrams Liquor Family) via a source other than the Mega Group (which may
not be credible, IDK)."
The existence of the Mega Group was revealed in the Wall Street Journal in 1998 under the headline 'Titans of Industry Join
Forces To Work for Jewish Philanthropy'. According to the Journal , it was founded in 1991 by Wexler and Charles Bronfman.
Membership included Edgar Bronfman, the chairman of the World Jewish Congress, Charles Bronfman, Edgar's brother and a top
executive of the family's flagship Seagrams Corp.; Leslie Wexler of Limited, Inc.; Charles Schusterman, chairman of Samson Investment
Co. of Tulsa, Oklahoma; Harvey "Bud" Meyerhoff, Baltimore real estate magnate; Laurence Tisch, chairman of Loews Corp.; Max Fisher,
the Detroit oil magnate and Republican Party powerhouse; bagel magnate Max Lender; Leonard Abramson, the founder of U.S. Healthcare;
and hedge-fund manager Michael Steinhardt.
One of its so-called 'philanthropic' projects entitled "Wexner Analysis: Israeli Communication Priorities 2003," was leaked
to Electronic Intifada.
"...when they met in the Edgar Bronfman mansion in Manhattan. The head of the World Jewish Congress hosted a meeting of
the fifty richest and most powerful Jews of the US and Canada. There was no press coverage, no limelight, just a few lines
in the newspapers. The gathered multibillionaires discussed the ways to achieve Jewish unity, and strengthen the Jewish identity
of American Jews, tersely reported Shlomo Shamir for Haaretz. They also agreed to launch a PR program under the Orwellian codename
of 'Truth' with the purpose of influencing American public opinion regarding Israeli policies.
The megabucks call themselves 'Mega group'. This name appeared in the media a couple of years ago, as a name for the secret
Israeli mole in the upper reaches of the US establishment. It came up in an overheard phone conversation, later denied by the
Israeli embassy in Washington, DC. The newshounds and spook watchers got it wrong. 'Mega' was not an agent, Mega was the boss."
Defense Department Computer Network Among Top Sharers of Child Pornography
Defense Department computers are among the top distributors of child pornography. An untold number of Department of Defense
(DOD) employees and contractors have subscriptions to child pornography websites, and the problem is apparently so pervasive it
requires new technical solutions to address it.
"Hundreds of DoD-affiliated individuals" were recently identified as suspects in child pornography cases, according to
an investigation by the Defense Criminal Investigative Service.
So far, authorities have only looked into about 20 percent of these cases. But already, they've found "several" individuals
"using their government devices to download or share said pornographic material."
Last year, an investigation by the National Criminal Justice Training Program found DOD computers were among the top networks
nationwide for peer-to-peer sharing of pornographic images of minors. DOD's network ranked 19th out of 2,891 computer networks
studied.
To prevent such widespread abuse going forward, the "End National Defense Network Abuse Act" would "crack down on this activity
by upgrading the training and technical capacity of military criminal investigative organizations to confront the misuse of DoD
computers, facilities, and equipment," according to a press release. It would also arrange for DOD authorities to work more closely
with civilian law enforcement on these cases.
"The notion that the Department of Defense's network and Pentagon-issued computers may be used to view, create, or circulate
such horrifying images is a shameful disgrace, and one we must fight head on," said Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D -- Va.), who co-sponsored
the bill with Rep. Mark Meadows (R -- N.C.).
A companion bill in the senate has been introduced by Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R -- Alaska) and Brian Schatz (D -- Hawaii).

and he is widely reported to have visited Little St. James, Epstein's private island in the US Virgin Islands," I've previously written.
"That's where, according to attorneys for Epstein's victims, many of the worst crimes against minors were committed by Epstein and
friends who traveled there with him."
In a 2011 interview with her attorneys, Virginia Roberts, one of the teenagers preyed upon by Epstein, said he had told her he
had "compromising" information on Bill Clinton and that the former president "owes me a favor."
Oh yeah, and by the way Epstein donated to the Clinton Foundation and multiple Democratic Party causes before and after being
convicted for pedophilia.
Lately, however, the party has reportedly shunned Epstein. Indeed, he's so toxic,
recently released emails show , that Team Obama rejected the idea of having Epstein's chief attorney, Roy Black, host a fundraiser.
Black, by the way, is perhaps best known for winning an acquittal for William Kennedy Smith for allegedly raping a Palm Beach teenager.
Following that trial Black married a juror in the case.
Federal and state investigators amassed a mountain of evidence against Epstein, but in the end Black and his other attorneys were
able to draft and negotiate a bizarre plea deal. The terms of the agreement, which was secret at the time, capped damages against
Epstein - reportedly worth about $2 billion - to between $50,000 and $150,000, depending on what year he had abused the girl, an
attorney with direct knowledge of the case told me.
The agreement also barred victims from seeking any future financial redress. Roberts and a number of other "Jane Does" - Epstein's
underage victims- are currently suing to overturn the settlement. A number of attorneys with ties to the Obama administration were
involved in negotiating the deal, which was highly criticized and never publicly explained. (The astonishing story of the "sweetheart"
plea deal is laid out in
this article in the Palm Beach Daily News.)
Third, James Patterson, the best-selling writer, is
authoring a book about Epstein
that's coming out in October. It's a great time to pile on.
Fourth, I've been looking into the Epstein affair for over a year. I've interviewed dozens of sources in Florida, including several
of the Miami-area lawyers for the Jane Does, and have a lot of material in my files.
Interviews with key sources, documents and previously published accounts show that Epstein's closest friends and collaborators
included Ghislaine Maxwell, the daughter of disgraced British newspaper tycoon Robert Maxwell, and Frenchman Jean-Luc Brunel. The
latter ran a modeling agency called Karin, which is based in Paris but also has offices in New York, Miami, and Brazil.
Brunel, whose role in the Epstein case has been covered by Jezebel and others,
has a long and sordid record of abusing and pimping out young women. Back in 1988, 60 Minutes aired a segment that featured a dozen
models who said they had been sexually assaulted by Brunel.
Craig Pyes, an associate producer and chief investigator of the segment, said various witnesses told him that Brunel was "heavily
into cocaine and sex with young girls," and that he set-up parties for "his rich playboy friends" and invited girls to weekend parties
that "operated as meat markets for older men." Several models told 60 Minutes they had been drugged and raped by Brunel or his friends.
What's especially outrageous, attorneys tell me, is that neither Brunel nor Maxwell ever testified in Epstein's case. Both fled
the United States on the eve of their respective depositions with the flimsiest of excuses. (Page Six
recently reported
that Maxwell was finally going to be forced to testify in the ongoing Jane Doe trial, but I haven't been able to confirm that.)
Brunel lined up underage girls for Epstein's Virgin Islands hideaway through his modeling agency, several of the victims' attorneys
I interviewed said. A private investigator involved in the case backed those accounts.
He said that Karin had two departments, one that was legal and sent girls to New York and elsewhere, and an illegal side that
recruited underage girls for Epstein and other global clients. "They lured young girls [to Orgy Island], mostly from small towns
in Brazil and Eastern Europe – with the promise of a fat modeling contract," this person said. "They told them they'd go to the island
and meet the head of the modeling agency. Instead, they were coerced into pleasuring Epstein, Brunel and their guests."
This source said Epstein's entire sex procurement operation was laid out to him by a former Karin bookkeeper, a Cuban-American
woman who worked for the modeling agency's Miami office during the relevant period.
I've unsuccessfully tried to track this woman down. Anyone with information please email me at
[email protected].
I've reached out to Epstein, Brunel, Maxwell and Black on various occasions and never heard back from any of them.

Lolita Express Monday - just another tequila sunrise:
A blockbuster book detailing the exploits of the infamous billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein hits shelves on Monday.
Sources close to the 63-year-old Brooklyn native have advised him to be "unreachable and out of the country" this weekend when
the preliminary media blitz gets underway.
"Filthy Rich," a collaborative effort between best-selling author James Patterson and investigator John Connolly, is set to
reopen old wounds for Epstein, who served 13 months in prison following a 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a teenage
girl.
Epstein has reportedly settled numerous similar cases out of court. The blockbuster book is also expected to further embarrass
celebs who once partied with Epstein.
An absolutely remarkable aspect of this "news" article is that while it mentions Trump as a celebrity who partied with Epstein,
the name "Bill Clinton" is entirely missing. That's despite documentary proof that "Bill" took 21 flights on the Lolita Express.
Just another MSM advertorial for Hyena Rodent Clinton.
Hey Jim, I've got a comment in moderation that touches on this. Specific to Epstein, I'll say the Koch brothers are as close
to the White House as they will ever get, and that Epstein was adamant about getting evidence about the people he serviced.
Epstein is far deeper scum than a mere pedophile, while the Koch bros and Pence may have a truly fundamentalist moral streak.
The period of time between now and the election could be very dangerous for Epstein.
Now that the Politics of Personal Destruction are in full play, certain parties had better hope that Epstein's settlements,
compelling his victims to silence in exchange for hush money, hold up.
After all, if one of them has already spent all her settlement money, she's effectively judgment proof in case she tells her
story in violation of the settlement.
As ol' Saddam Hussein used to say, " Anything is possible now, my brothers. "
Pharisee Conservative Scold Ken Starr Got a Billionaire Pedophile Off Many believe Jeffrey Epstein could have
been jailed for life for violating scores of underage girls, but Ken Starr and the rest of his legal team got him a deal. 5:55 AM
ET
It was supposed to be a probe into the first family's finances. But when independent counsel Judge Ken Starr mounted an investigation
into the Clintons' real-estate deals , the "Whitewater" probe took a
peep-show turn
. Starr and his team began to obsess over every lurid detail of Bill Clinton's philandering, issuing a 473-page report that was
a catalog of misuse of funds but mostly torrid sexcapades in the White House and the president accused of committing perjury to cover
it up.
The Starr Report came out in 1998. And all of this would be history, if it weren't for the fact that Starr, the legendary moral
ninny now serving as the
chancellor
at Baylor University , was handpicked nearly a decade later to negotiate a sweetheart plea deal with state and federal prosecutors
for
billionaire pederast and Clinton crony Jeffrey Epstein.
On Wednesday, some of Epstein's lawyers were back in court, arguing that the negotiations over that deal must remain secret.
"I had given [Epstein] a list of lawyers I worked with in the past that had been exceptionally able and Jeffrey picked from the
list," Alan Dershowitz, the world-famous criminal attorney and Harvard professor, told The Daily Beast. He also worked on Epstein's
behalf. "Starr had experience in investigating sex investigations," Dershowitz said. "He had experience as the solicitor general
and as a judge. He had all the bases covered."
The acquisition proved to be a panacea. In 2006, Jeffrey Epstein was hauled in by Palm Beach police for violating scores of underage
girls for years and was facing federal charges for trafficking them across state lines. He was formally sentenced to 18 months prison,
but only served 13 of them and was allowed to travel between his various mansions frequently. He was also forced to register as a
sex offender.
Many believe Epstein dodged certain doom -- he could have remained behind bars for the rest of his life given the number of alleged
victims (some say it's as many as hundreds, while his attorneys suggest it's barely double-digits). But ask the client and he believes
the plea agreement was lousy.
"Jeffrey didn't think it was a good deal," Dershowitz said. And that may have been because Epstein's all-star legal team -- which
included Starr, Dershowitz, Miami lawyer Roy Black, New York power esquires Jay Lefkowitz and Gerald Lefcourt, and Martin Weinberg
in Boston -- apparently couldn't seal an even sweeter deal.
Epstein issue and his connection to Clinton mafia was raised by press in 2016 but went nowhere.
The fact that Trump campaign targeted Clinton for his connection with Epstein means that Trump is probably was not involved as a client of
Epstein brothel with underage prostitutes for high ranking politicians .
Notable quotes:
"... Now Bill Clinton is back in the press and not for his controversial relationship with Monica Lewinsky, but rather his friendship with Epstein. In fact, flight records indicate that Bill would frequent the island paradise during the 2002 and 2005 era while Hillary, Bill's wife, was a Senator in New York. ..."
"... The woman went on to say how orgies were a regular occurrence and that she recalled two young girls from New York who were always seen around the five-house compound but their personal back-stories were never revealed. ..."
"... Moreover, Epstein was invited to Chelsea Clinton's wedding in 2010 amongst 400 other guests, demonstrating his close friendship with the Clinton family. ..."
"... To top it all off blue blood, "Prince Andrew was allegedly one of the house's visitors. On Friday, the Duke of York was named in a federal lawsuit filed against Epstein, whom the FBI once reportedly linked to 40 young women. Filed in 2008 in the Southern District of Florida, the $50 million lawsuit claimed Epstein had a "sexual preference and obsession for underage minor girls gained access to primarily economically disadvantaged minor girls in his home and sexually assaulted these girls,"reported the Washington Post. ..."
Back in 2005 police conducted an 11 month-long undercover investigation into Epstein and his estate after the mother of a 14-year-old
girl went to police after suspecting her daughter was paid $300 for at least one sexual act on the island in which she was ordered
to strip, leaving on just her panties, while giving Epstein a massage.
Although police found tons of photos of young women on the island and even interviewed eyewitnesses, Epstein was hit with a mere
slap on the wrist after "pleading to a single charge of prostitution". Epstein later served 13-months of his 18-month service in
jail.
In 2008, Epstein was hit again, this time with a $50 million civil suit after another victim filed in federal court claiming that
she was "recruited" by Epstein to give him a "massage" but was essentially forced into having sexual intercourse with him for $200
which was payable upon completion. The women were coming out of the woodwork.
Now Bill Clinton is back in the press and not for his controversial relationship with Monica Lewinsky, but rather his friendship
with Epstein. In fact, flight records indicate that Bill would frequent the island paradise during the 2002 and 2005 era while Hillary,
Bill's wife, was a Senator in New York.
'I remember asking Jeffrey what's Bill Clinton doing here kind of thing, and he laughed it off and said well he owes me a favor,'
one unidentified woman said in the lawsuit, which was filed in Palm Beach Circuit Court.
The woman went on to say how orgies were a regular occurrence and that she recalled two young girls from New York who were
always seen around the five-house compound but their personal back-stories were never revealed.
"At least one woman on the compound was there unwillingly," reported the Daily Mail in a recent article. The woman was allegedly
forced to have sex with "politicians, businessmen, royalty, academicians" at the retreat. Just one of "more than 40 women" that have
come forth with claims against Epstein, showing the vast scale of the man's dark operations, which aren't limited only to Little
St. James.
Moreover, Epstein was invited to Chelsea Clinton's wedding in 2010 amongst 400 other guests, demonstrating his close friendship
with the Clinton family.
To top it all off blue blood, "Prince Andrew was allegedly one of the house's visitors. On Friday, the Duke of York was named
in a federal lawsuit filed against Epstein, whom the FBI once reportedly linked to 40 young women. Filed in 2008 in the Southern
District of Florida, the $50 million lawsuit claimed Epstein had a "sexual preference and obsession for underage minor girls gained
access to primarily economically disadvantaged minor girls in his home and sexually assaulted these girls,"reported the Washington
Post.
"... "I wanted to tell you that I have compiled a list of 34 confirmed minors," Villafana wrote to Lefkowitz. "There are six others,
whose name [sic] we already have, who need to be interviewed by the FBI to confirm whether they were 17 or 18 at the time of their activity
with Mr. Epstein." ..."
"... Epstein agreed to a 30-month sentence, including 18 months of jail time and 12 months of house arrest and the agreement to
pay dozens of young girls under a federal statute providing for compensation to victims of child sexual abuse. .the U.S. Attorney's
Office promised not to pursue any federal charges against Epstein or his Named and Un-Named co-conspirators. ..."
"... His legal team? Gerald Lefcourt, Roy Black, Ken Starr, and Alan Dershowitz. ..."
"... The federal non-prosecution agreement Epstein's legal team negotiated immunized all named and unnamed potential co-conspirators

The FIX
2015 Doc Release by Judge:
Assistant U.S. Attorney Marie Villafana wrote to Epstein lawyer Jay Lefkowitz in a Sept. 19, 2007, email. "I will include our
standard language regarding resolving all criminal liability and I will mention 'co-conspirators,' but I would prefer not to highlight
for the judge all of the other crimes and all of the other persons that we could charge ... maybe we can set a time to meet, if
you want to meet 'off campus' somewhere, that is fine. I will make sure that I have all the necessary decision makers present
or 'on call' as well."
"I wanted to tell you that I have compiled a list of 34 confirmed minors," Villafana wrote to Lefkowitz. "There are six
others, whose name [sic] we already have, who need to be interviewed by the FBI to confirm whether they were 17 or 18 at the time
of their activity with Mr. Epstein."
In a December 2007 letter, the prosecutor acknowledges some notifications of alleged victims but says they were sent after
the U.S. Attorney's Office signed the plea deal and halted for most of the women at the request of Epstein's lawyers.
"Three victims were notified shortly after the signing of the Non-Prosecution Agreement of the general terms of that Agreement,"
Villafana wrote, again to Lefkowitz. "You raised objections to any victim notification, and no further notifications were done."
On Sept. 24, 2007, in a deal shrouded in secrecy that left alleged victims shocked at its leniency,
Epstein agreed to a 30-month sentence, including 18 months of jail time and 12 months of house arrest and the agreement
to pay dozens of young girls under a federal statute providing for compensation to victims of child sexual abuse. .the U.S. Attorney's
Office promised not to pursue any federal charges against Epstein or his Named and Un-Named co-conspirators.
"In 2006 the FBI counted at least 40 underage girls who had been molested by Epstein. Authorities searched his Florida mansion
and found two computers containing child *********** and homemade video and photographs from cameras hidden in bedroom walls which
had been used to film sex acts. The case was airtight for many counts of sexual crimes but Palm Beach State Attorney Barry Krischer
and the Justice Department stepped in and offered Epstein a plea deal. In 2008 Epstein pleaded guilty in a Florida court to one
count of soliciting underage girls for sex. His punishment was 13 months of "8 hour nights only" at a halfway house. No other
charges about raping underage girls nor running an underage sex trafficking ring were mentioned in the plea. His legal team?

The children in some of these poor third-world 'orphanages' aren't really orphans as we understand the term but are just
from poor families who can't take care of them. These international adoptions are a business where everyone along the line
gets paid with the child being the commodity being sold to the end purchaser, people in the west seeking to adopt a child to make
themselves feel good. As in the mentioned case, the agencies move around from country to country where people are poor and desperate
and legal safeguards are weak. Although the end receivers seem to be mostly naive and well-meaning people there's no telling how
many aren't.
That a person with the stature of being a former president would hang around with a low-life like Epstein is really telling.
He flew perhaps twenty-seven times on Epstein's plane which makes him more than just a passing acquaintance. Birds of a feather
flock together.
The Canadians pulled in over three hundred people. If a country next to us, so similar to ours in many ways but with a
fraction of our population, has so many that can be exposed at one time then how many could the US have? Yet we hardly ever
hear much, just of a few lone wolves here and there. Look at how Sandusky got away with it for so many years. People didn't want
to know, turned a blind eye to it, because he was too valuable.
This entire bunch who hobnob with each other have a very creepy vibe. There's all these 'coincidences' that seem to gather
together in one place.
This 'story' is complete horseshit / random confirmation bias. Scan the full social media accounts of any group of 100+
people and you could find just as much 'evidence' if you were determined to do so. This is scary -- the day that any social
media post involving children that uses the word "chicken" anywhere in it counts as evidence of pedophilia is the day anyone
could be smeared.
Ron Unz should be ashamed of himself for giving this kind of unhinged paranoid fear-mongering space.
Do some of your own research on this topic and you will come to a different conclusion if you can get beyond your massive bias.
The Burning Platform has featured a series of posts over the last few weeks that provide a volume of evidence that is impossible
to discount.
Most people cannot accept something like this would be real because they cannot fathom the depths of evil that exist in this
world ..why, I don't know. You'd think the fact that many of the people implicated have also been the ones fully on board with
unprovoked wars that have killed, maimed and displaced millions of people, including children, would be evidence enough.
Kudos to Ron Unz for exposing more people to this tragic, disgusting, horrendous story.
Socionomic Theory documents that the public's appetite for scandals is low when stocks and high and high when stocks are low.
Case in point: The "news" about Enron was favorable all the way down, until the stock had lost way over 90%. Only then did
"news" about criminality and malfeasance gain traction.
This being the case, with stocks at All Time Highs after an astonishing 7 year vertical rally, pizzagate's very existence
here tells us that when the next bear market (in social mood, as revealed by stock prices) is in full swing, the level of
sociopathic, demonic behaviors emerging into public consciousness will be unimaginable.
I have no doubt whatsoever that child sex abuse, trafficking and even sex-related murder may well be hung around the necks
of very, very famous persons, and the horrors so bad that those persons (if still alive) will not even make it to trial before
they're hung from a street lamp.
Public disgust with those who ran (and run) the Federal Government will in all likelihood be so pervasive that it will undermine
the very political cohesion of the United States.
This is by far the best survey of this topic that I've read.
What is clear is that the contention that there is "no evidence", a contention that is asserted or implied in seemingly
every mainstream media discussion, is flatly false. There is a vast array of pertinent evidence, much of it circumstantial, but
much of it also suggesting something of the mindset of some of the central figures. Anyone who denies this is utterly oblivious,
or a liar, or a fool.
As to what the evidence establishes, that is a different question. If skilled and intelligent investigators fail to take
it up, then motivated and fervent - if not entirely competent - inquirers will surely rise up in their stead.
Watch for the "fake news" sources' standard method for dealing with a large set of serious allegations like these from
the internet's "real news" sources. They will take the most absurd/least likely allegations and dispose of them. They will then
unobtrusively fail to address harder to dismiss allegations. Instead they will argue to the effect that, some of these allegations
are false so obviously all must be.
The "truther" site Snopes once had a perfect example, since taken down, I suspect because it made the technique so obvious.
One popular right-wing internet site claimed to link 100 or so suspicious deaths to the Clintons. Snopes attacked the obviously
absurd linkages and was left with about twenty cases of persons who (1) were involved or rumored to be involved with nefarious
activities involving the Clintons; (2) were scheduled to testify against the Clintons or rumored to be brokering plea deals; and
(3) died under suspicious circumstances soon after. Snopes dismissed these with a comment to the effect that all public figures
had numbers of known associates die like this; let's just move on, folks; nothing to see here.

In one of my many different careers I worked for a couple of years as an outside consultant to the FBI's ViCAP (now VICAP)
program. About the time I was thus delving the depths of human depravity - and they are far deeper than the more fortunate readers
of this are ever likely to learn - a scandal similar to this broke in Belgium, involving the highest levels of society, politics,
and the EU bureaucracy in criminal conspiracies to kidnap children, sexually violate them, torture them, and even use them in
the production of snuff films. A full investigation dead-ended after many suicides and suspicious deaths and disappearances. IMHO,
based on some experience with criminal conspiracies of this type, the mass of material presented here is a pretty overwhelming
indication that something very bad is happening. That the MSM ("fake new") sources are not paying more attentionto this is scandalous.
I'm not going to commit myself to the idea that this is going to be as huge as Rotherham was.
Sorry, but you are deluded if you believe Rotherham was "huge" in the media - even after the story broke, the English media
did its best to downplay and underreport it - when they did report it, especially the BBC, it was always in a professional monotone,
with no hint of outrage, or how disgusting and appalling all of it was, including/especially the behavior of the authorities -
however let the BNP or EDL protest in front of the court where some of the Paki scum were being tried, and there you saw and felt
media outrage - at this point, Rotherham has practically disappeared from the news - which is pretty sad because as everyone knows,
it was just the tip of the iceberg.
And as currently being framed and investigatively fleshed out, if Rotherham was "huge", then Pizzagate will be a scandal of
positively galactic dimension.
People will not let this go the way they did with the Jeffrey Epstein sleaze.
Thank you for this article. It is well written and makes the point I have been trying to make. That the Wikileaks taken together
with the Instagram photos warrant an investigation. A person with a predilection to pedophilia (based on the Instagram photos,
choice of music, and music recordings at the Pizza Parlor premises) at the least, should not be running a "child-friendly" pizza
parlor without some kind of societal due diligence to ensure the safety of our children.
On the one hand, what is lost if an investigation occurs and it turns out there is no wrong doing? We would have wasted some
tax dollars and time of the law enforcement teams, but James Alefantis would in fact benefit from being exonerated. If
however, there is ANY truth and any harm has and is occurring to children, then the greater good resulting from the investigation
would be without price.

This paper argues that pedophilia may represent a special case or subcase of psychopathy and that the main aims of both
the psychopath and the pedophile are to dominate, to use, and to subjugate another person in service of the grandiose self.
[...] It notes that the major differences between psychopaths and pedophiles are that the object of the predation for the
pedophile is a child and that the overt behavioral manifestation of the pathology is sexual.
I just wanted to reemphasize Scott Adams' statement about the scandal:
Over on his blog, Scott Adams asks us to keep in mind cases where confirmation bias did lead to false allegations of
institutional pedophilia, to caution against excessive confidence.
These types of investigations and scandals can easily lead to 'witch hunts' and 'panics' and need to be handled with the greatest
care, prudence, and levelheadedness possible.
----
I wanted to add the following study/information, because as the study states ' These results provide further evidence
of the importance of distinguishing between these groups of offenders. '
This might just be an irrelevant distinction for most people appalled by this potential/alleged abuse of power and authority
of 'our' elites; but I believe we might mostly be looking at and dealing with psychopathy and not necessarily 'just' pedophilia
in this Pizzagate scandal.
This has several different implications for how this scandal might be handled or be covered up, etc., because psychopaths are
master liars, deflectors, charmers, etc., i.e. 'pillars of the community,' 'movers and shakers,' etc.
There is another curious connection here; Professor Robert Hare – the father of psychopathy research – said this:
Hare considers newspaper tycoon Robert Maxwell to have been a strong candidate as a corporate psychopath.[10]
Robert Maxwell is the father of Ghislaine Maxwell, who is close friends with Jeffery Epstein:
In an American court case that was made public in January 2015, a woman identified as 'Jane Doe 3′ said she was approached
by Maxwell in 1999, and claimed that Maxwell procured under-age girls to have sex with Epstein. Maxwell has always denied any
involvement in Epstein's crimes.[10] She said: "She [Ghislaine] said she'd hit hard times. Jeffrey offered her a job
and then, I guess, because of her ability to procure girls, she became a vital asset to him.
Abstract OBJECTIVE :
Among men who commit sexual offenses against children, at least 2 distinct groups can be identified on the basis of the age
of the primary targets of their sexual interest; pedophiles and nonpedophiles. METHOD :
In the present report, across 2 independent samples of both types of child molesters as well as controls, a total of 104 men
(53 pedophilic and 51 nonpedophilic) who had sexually offended against a child age 13 or younger were compared to each other
(and to 49 non-sex offender controls) on psychopathy as assessed by the Psychopathic Personality Inventory (PPI). RESULTS :
In both samples of child molesters, the nonpedophiles scored as significantly more psychopathic than the pedophiles. CONCLUSIONS :
These results provide further evidence of the importance of distinguishing between these groups of offenders.
500 Words @MQ This 'story' is complete
horseshit / random confirmation bias. Scan the full social media accounts of any group of 100+ people and you could find just
as much 'evidence' if you were determined to do so. This is scary -- the day that any social media post involving children that
uses the word "chicken" anywhere in it counts as evidence of pedophilia is the day anyone could be smeared.
Ron Unz should be ashamed of himself for giving this kind of unhinged paranoid fear-mongering space.
Your comment sounds familiar to me. Are you writing from the UK perchance?
Back in the mid-Aughts I was surprised by how often I saw commenters at MSM news sites talking about the grooming and abduction
of white girls in cities in England. At the time I was regularly reading BBC, Guardian, Telegraph, and Times. The stories where
these comments appeared were diverse in topic.
Sometimes other comments would share similar experiences. Some would say they talked to someone who claimed similar experience.
Others would say they'd heard murmurs of such things.
These voices repeatedly called on the MSM outlet to investigate, or they wondered why no response was forthcoming from
elected officials or policymakers.
This was after–I later learned–Ann Cryer (MP for Keighley) had bravely stepped forward on behalf of girls whose parents had
approached her for help. IOW, the cat was emerging from the bag, but the MSM were trying to stuff it back in.
Dismissive responses to these comments frequently were framed as yours is here: nothing to see here, move along, it's confirmation
bias, you people are nuts, mods, step in and censor them!
In the Rotherham/etc. case, racism, Islamophobia, etc., were trotted out to inflict silence.
What was most noteworthy to me, and creepy, was how these comments would be removed from the comment streams of these outlets.
Sometimes the comments would be deleted but the response calling them racists or Islamophobes allowed to stand.
By the late Aughts I was convinced some sort of coverup was underway of something terrible indeed.
We now know that the MSM were key players in that.
Similar murmurings were afoot in Pennsylvania for many years prior to the revelations of the sexual abuse of children by Penn
State coach Sandusky. I knew men who steered their sons away from football in general, guiding them instead to hockey or lacrosse,
because the word on the street was that football camp was not a safe place for boys anymore. (Nor, increasingly, Boy Scouts or
church camps.)
The gig is up for the MSM acting as panderers and pimps in the Cathedragogue of their own degenerate Narrative-religion.
They won't go down without a fight. They have more power and money to lose than any of the kids victimized by pedocidal perverts.
But what those kids have to lose is a treasure of vastly more importance than power and money.
Thing is, truth and goodness of spirit will win. This is part of why these degenerates fight back as they do. They can put
truth and goodness on the run for only so long. They fight back not because they are losing, but because, by nature, they can
never join the winning side of truth and goodness. It's just not in them.
All the more reason they need to be found out and reined in hard.
One last thing, regarding some people's assertion that these symbols, in-jokes, etc., are all "just a game." Or, worse, "art."
(Which implies getting money and power by representing degeneracy to decorate rich people's businesses, homes and bedrooms.)
If pedophilia, grooming, and child rape are now matters to take lightly as shibboleths of entrance to circles of power, then
those circles of power need to be napalmed.
"In the beginning there were the swamp, the hoe, and Jussi."
I think the crux of the problem is that most people find two different things equally plausible.
1) That the people who are talking about this (pizzagate) are lunatics.
or
2) That Podesta and the rest actually are involved in things like this.
Personally I think a nation that has reached this point, that it is totally believable that our leaders and elites are a bunch
of monsters well that's a real problem.
Another problem is that the UK article a poster above linked to is two years old. Has anyone heard anything about that since?
Expect to?
How many members of the media political class, that are dismissing this as fake news have enjoyed "pizza" at Besta or at a
similar place?
What if criminal deviancy rather than disqualifying a person, is not instead some weird prerequisite for elite status? Don't
have to worry about rock throwers if they're inside the same glass house.
Blackmail seems as good an explanation as any for things like John Roberts sudden change of heart on the constitutionality
of the Obama care mandate.
This is a very good summary; thank you for publishing it.
The speed with which the old media have declared the entire thing false, far sooner than they possibly could have explored
all the latest information and come to that conclusion, is astonishing. In other cases of conspiracy theories they think are false,
they are willing to stand back and ridicule the theorists. Obama Birthers, 9/11 Truthers, Boston Bombing hoax, Sandy Hook . all
certainly called false and ridiculed, but that's all. I don't think I've ever seen them try to squelch an entire line of discussion
from the start like this before, even threatening lawsuits and prosecution.
There may be something to pizzagate but I'm very skeptical of accusations of widespread institutional pedophilia. I initially
fell for the "Satanic panic" of the 1980s; I learned my lesson.
I see that this case relies a lot on cryptic symbols. Reminds me of the people who see swastikas and white supremacy runes wherever
they look and try to make a case for a vast neo-Nazi underground. But the author states that 470,000 children "disappear" each
year in the US alone. Really? The link goes to "reported missing" which is a whole different thing. I once reported one of my
kids missing; he turned up shortly afterwards at a friend's house. He hadn't even run away, just overstayed and not informed us
where he was. That sort of thing happens all the time, but genuine disappearances? I don't know of a single case and I know plenty
of people with kids. In some third world country in a war, tens of thousands of missing kids might be believable, but even in
most such countries (Syria for example) 470,000 disappearances per year would be a stretch.
In the U.K., all the abuse took place by people in power. Catholic clergy over choirboys. Celebs over their fans. Pakistanis
targeted girls from broken homes. The wealthy and 'noble' preyed on the lesser born.
The worst though are the politicians, who have maximum power. I'm not sure I believe the pizzagate thing – the evidence is
not conclusive (show me a victim or witness). But I certainly believe it is possible.
The reliably excellent John Helmer provides an oblique reference to Pizzagate in the following linked piece about Propornot
and its marvellous 200 Putin Stoogesites:
200 Words @utu "What 'relatively obscure
charge'?" - Making payments in a manner hiding the detection of payments. Payments were not illegal but he was doing it in amounts
below the amounts that automatically would require reporting. In my opinion he did nothing illegal. The crimes he allegedly committed
were beyond the statute of limitation and paying hush money is not illegal either.
I kinda thought that's what you were referring to, but wanted to make sure.
His real crime was something else.
He was a high school coach years ago and was raping underage boys in his charge. The cash he was withdrawing was for payments
to one of the boys to keep him quiet. If memory serves, another one of his victims had committed suicide (not sure though). But
the one Hastert was paying off wanted to burn him.
In addition, Sibel Edwards, when she was working for the FBI and translating foreign language intercepts, picked up some conversations
by Turkish officials, who were bribing Hastert, and claimed they "owned him". He reportedly got $500K, but not sure for what.
FBI had courts put a gag order on Sibel, so she could not reveal any more details. The story was buried: probably because too
many high ranking swine were involved.
Hastert pleaded guilty to a Mickey Mouse charge so that there would no public child-rape trial, where the public might learn
all the lurid details of what the filthy swine did to those underage boys.
Hastert got away with destroying the lives of many boys.
Hopefully he will be savagely beaten and crippled in prison – but not killed – so he can suffer for years.
Like a lot of people I have gone from completely ignoring this story, thinking it was Alex Jones type fantasy to starting to
wonder if there might not be some truth to it after all. So far I haven't seen any definitive evidence that kids are actually
being molested, or worse. And because the accusations are so damning I would want to be very cautious about casually tossing them
around.
That being said, a lot of the stuff that's surfaced; the artwork, the cryptic messages, Spirit cooking, the odd choices of
entertainment for a family friendly pizza restaurant and the Instagram pictures are just flat out creepy .
Even with a presumption of innocence I wouldn't allow anyone under the age of 18 anywhere near the Podesta brothers, Alefantis
and everyone else involved without adult supervision.
I'm glad Unz has decided to publish this. I'm interested to see if anything more will come of it. It certainly warrants further
investigation.
@DanC Rotate the old logo for Besta Pizza
180 degrees. It is the pedophile BLogo symbol.
That's why when it got publicised, Besta's management immediately deleted the old one and converted to a new, BLogo-free symbol
on all their website and printed materials.
What is interesting to note in mainstream media "debunkings" of PizzaGate is that they focus on the doubtful evidence, things
that could be "interpreted either way" and they leave out the glaringly obvious pedophilia links, like the Besta Pizza logo.
Just look at all the "debunking articles." Do any of them mention the old Besta logo? I haven't seen any.
It seems to me this is the way to wean the public off the mainstream media. Hammer on the fact that the MSM insists on leaving
out the clear, obvious evidence and tries to imply that everything is doubtful and open to interpretation. Then people will start
to associate them with coverup and BS. The MSM can't recover from that.
Actually the logo issue is a prominent part of this Washington Post article (and a tweet by the fairly well-known Dave
Weigel highlighted that part in particular):
100 Words @Johnny Smoggins Like a lot
of people I have gone from completely ignoring this story, thinking it was Alex Jones type fantasy to starting to wonder if there

Podesta is a creepy fuck period.
How did such a dweeb get to be such a big person in our national conversation?
He is an obvious hack , but not a particular clever one. He just comes off so "are you fucking kidding me?". Where do they get
these dudes? James Carville. Paul Begala. Bill Burton. Robby Mook. Even right has George Will, Buckley. Strange unnormal people.
I confess I don't get it. I can understand pizzagate as a brutal and nasty last minute campaign tactic, but the election is
over, drop it. A mighty tissue of "coincidences" woven together in a manner that would make Glenn Beck envious. I guess I need
to fashion a tin foil hat and then re-read the article. I think it just discredits the source more than the target.
If someone is actually raping children, then where are the children? The kids related to the socialite that she is bringing
to a pool party? Come on, that is what plebes are for. How are the children procured? Where do they live? There is necessarily
logistics to this kind of activity, and zero evidence of logistics, just some weird emails and weird art. Its like saying someone
is a coke head because they had a runny nose. tweet at early hours in the morning, and behave very alpha.
500 Words @Anonymous "Every aspect of
British society seems to have ties to pedophilia, from Parliament, to the elites, the City of London, the government, public schools,
Oxbridge, the universities, all the way down to Paki immigrant communities and even British soccer."
Why do pedos gain such power? Same reason why homos do? Since many of them don't have families and since they resent the Normal
World(from which they must hide their deviance or sickness), do they have extra time/energy for gaining power? Are they fueled
by resentment toward Normal Society? It seems like homos had a kind of revenge streak, and it all came out with New Normal. Homos
really want to rub our faces in their feces. They want to force us to accept the New Normal or be totally destroyed. They want
to turn us into their bitches. They are into Bitch-Hunting.
Working in the shadows, homos and pedos seemed to gained considerable power. And since they are associated with Vice Industry,
they have the dirt on everyone else and can blackmail them. Bill Clinton prolly never had sex with a minor, but surely homos and
pedos have a lot of dirt on him about his many affairs and orgies. And since they have many connections, they serve as essential
middlemen for those who seek power.
Also, there is a code of silence among the powerful. They watch out for one another. And homos and pedos are both pushy and
gushy. They are very demanding but also accommodating and supportive of the powerful and ambitious. They go all out to serve the
powerful and those on the up-and-up, but they also demand a cut of the pie.
The ambitious care most about power and privilege than about right and wrong. If their power depends on a coterie of people
committed to them 24/7, they will look the other way even when they know something is up. Also, there is the human factor. People
who work together closely develop an emotional bond. It's team politics, us vs them. And loyalty must be favored.
Since homos and pedos have more time on their hands and more energy(fueled by resentment), they might be more available to the
powerful or those who seek power.
Hollywood made the media the hero in the movie SPOTLIGHT. But the media seem eager to bury this as fast as possible.
Why did it take so long for the Hastert and Sandusky cases to come to light?
Homos seem to be closely allied with pedos, and the trajectory of our culture is to normalize pedophilia by sexualizing young
girls and boys. If young ones are sexualized, it means they can be objects of sexual desire. And then what?
And the scientific community is arguing pedophilia should be treated as a condition than a crime. This may be legit as long
as pedos didn't act on their impulses. But if they did, how can it not be a crime?
Rape is 'natural' too given that sexual feelings are natural. But we can't treat rape itself as a condition and not a crime.
Regrettably, though one may have grown old without ever feeling the wish to have sexual contact with a pre-adolescent or of
anyone of the same sex it hasn't been possible for a long time to deny the prevalence of socially disapproved sex drives and behaviours.
So one finds that the nice young presenter on the antique show has been arrested for downloading and keeping pedophile images.
And so on But isn't the idea of a large network, and what is needed to keep it covered up, a bit much to swallow? Nasty minds?
Conspiracy theories?
Well I suppose not. Sex as a drive and the perverse varieties of expression that we know to manifest themselves are enough
to make one accept the pedophile reality. Then the network and the cover up? The cover up, however difficult to make it reliable,
is just a consequence of the danger their behaviour exposes them to. And the network? Easy enough to explain once you are in it
– like knowing that you could attend mass in a number of aristocratic Elizabethan households. But the detail of why and how it
should grow from a very small group is obviously more complex. I guess that there are organisers and facilitators who seek various
rewards, some financial, some in young flesh, some in the obtaining of blackmailing power.
It's the age difference and the power equation that matters. If a fifteen year old is sexting a thirteen year old it's quite
different than a grown man like Anthony Wiener. I couldn't blame any father who administered a sound beating to an adult creep
who was sexting a minor. What kind of a society doesn't protect children?
"IMO this is yet another Jimmy Savile case: i.e. literally Satanic pedophilia on a vast scale, with the active collusion
of our political and media elites"
Savile case wasn't that at all – more like famous DJ/charity fundraiser with great PR taking advantage of his status with teenage
girls. How many of the post-death allegations are true, who knows, but we know some definitely aren't true – we know because long-time
blogger Anna Raccoon was a resident of a small children's home where Savile was claimed to have abused girls. She has a whole
series of seven posts called "Past Lives and Present Misgivings" on the allegations.
More "active collusion" is likely in the cases of Cyril Smith and Greville Janner, two pretty high-profile and connected MPs,
who seem to have managed to go to their graves scot free.
Flynn's tweet regarding this story was perfectly reasonable.
The story has been stamped "bogus" without any kind of investigation.
No response to questions about the weird content of emails by Podesta and others.
Stonewalling.
Makes one think the shotgun blast at Comet might even have been a false flag!!
For those wondering about the authenticity of the FBI document, here is the wikileaks page where it was revealed in 2007 and
they say "Wikileaks has verified the document":
I remember watching an excellent Australian film years ago that covered this very topic. It portrayed in a very realistic way
the whole homo/ pedo underground in the upper rungs of society, from posh public schools to university, where grooming of youngsters
occurred, to Parliament and Finance, where the powerful pederasts/homosexuals ruled. In this world, the shortest way to power
and riches for a young man was to seek out the protection and guidance of an older and powerful homo/pederast lover. It was shot
in Australia and in Australian settings and institutions, but it's all so British you'd think the film makers really intended
the story to reflect British society and were using Australia as a legal cover.
Sorry, I can't remember the title of the movie or the director. It was quite disturbing to watch but very interesting.
Perhaps Pat Hannagan or some other knowledgeable Australian reader can help.
Let's say there was no pedo-ring. I'm rather skeptical of it myself.
But just look at that pizzeria. What kind of freako place is that?
And why are some of the 'most powerful' people in DC such downright perverts and degenerates?
The fish rots from the head. Degenerates run government, institutions, and culture.
Government and judges push homo agenda. College push porn and 50 genders. Hollywood pushes drugs and tattoos. Disney turns
girls into whores.
And this isn't just a 'left' vs 'right' problem. A lot of Trump voters were ass-tattoo freaks. The working class grew up on
Jerry Springer, WWE, mentally deranged metal music, or Goth freakery.
And middle class kids grew up on the nerdy black magic of Harry Potter whose teacher is a happy ass-man.
Whether it's elites and their Pervert Pizza or the underclass with their degeneracy, it's ugly all around.
I'm not sold on the pedo-ring. Too much risk, though I think those 'elites' are a bunch of pervs.
If anything, this pedo-issue takes our eyes off the ball.
The real issue should be that the governing elites of this nation in government, colleges, cultural institutions, media and
even military(look at those tranny freaks) are a bunch of decadents, even degenerates. We are seeing the normalization of freakery
and grossness.
The fact that it is considered NORMAL for Hillary to invite Lena Dunham to the DNC speaks for itself. The fact that Newsweek
celebrated Obama with a gay 'halo' speaks for itself. The fact that churches hang 'homo flags' speaks for itself.
It is a sick nation.
A tolerant nation has room for decadence and even degeneracy. It belongs in the underground. They always existed.
But now, this underground stuff is the bobo cultural fixation of the elites who consider themselves 'hip' and 'edgy'.
And they even introduce their kids to this stuff from a young age.
Indeed, even without overt pedophilia, introducing sexuality to kids at a very young age is a kind of indirect pedophilia.
When homo-ness is promoted among kids, what is being done? Kids will ask 'what is homo stuff?' And an honest answer will have
to be, "some guys wanna stick pee pee into poo poo". But then, the kids will have to be told THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT,
and if anything, WE SHOULD BLESS THE HOMOS. But why? What is so great about pee pee in poo poo?
We really need Culturegate. The whole culture is a rotten scandal, and the fact that US globo-imperialism spreads this filth
around the world speaks volumes about how sick America has become. We don't need real pedo-rings of 'pizzagate' to accuse the
elites of filth and vileness. Their cultural life is garbage.
Just look at this: 'mainstream' culture has no problem with it. If anything, it is promoted as the New Norm.
As John Helmer points out, the new digital news business model doesn't provide any funds for investigative journalism.
So who is going to pay for a serious journalist to do the legwork and paperwork and FOIA requests, etc.?
Re "And why are some of the 'most powerful' people in DC such downright perverts and degenerates? "
I thought you were going to say:
What are the most powerful people in DC doing hanging out at this creepy pizza parlor and doing fundraising events there?
We all know where Hillary goes for "real" money: The Saudis, Goldman Sachs, billionaires' glitzy summer compounds in the Hamptons,
places like that-you know, where the money is.
So WTF is she doing in one of these pizza joints? Why would there be any real money there?
With creepy, tawdry "artwork" on the walls?
Something here does not pass the smell test.
I'm intrigued by the Anna Racoon stuff, but I found it completely incoherent. Could you explain what these claims are, and
why they should be taken seriously?
Re Sir Savile and Satanic child sex abuse, at least two victims gave entirely credible and consistent accounts. Here's a mainstream
source:
Agreed. Often one wonders why such outrageous decisions are made in politics that clearly contradict the public good and one
wonders, why? This topic goes a long way to explaining the why. I'm not so sure if the investigating of it is the hard part or
the broad exposure, but it needs to happen.
I am probably more tolerant of 'deviates' than most on here. Queers don't bother me much, though I would recommend that they
be more discreet and stop the promotion of their peccadilloes as normal. When it comes to children, even teenagers, I am very
strict about them not being able to give consent and should be treated with respect, if not revered, by all adults with no exceptions.
There is enough smoke here for a thorough investigation to be demanded and carried out. I hope nothing less ensues.
The fact that it is considered NORMAL for Hillary to invite Lena Dunham to the DNC speaks for itself. The fact that Newsweek
celebrated Obama with a gay 'halo' speaks for itself. The fact that churches hang 'homo flags' speaks for itself.
It is a sick nation.
Yep. I don't have to look any further then this perv Alefantis. This is what you get when sodomy is legal. Of course this craven
bastard makes all kinds of snarky degenerate comments about children on his instagram
Society has been desensitized to homosexuality- so they have moved on to the "prize".
You have hit it out of the park as usual, I enjoy and concur with your assesments.
I believe I saw the instagram account of Alefantis before it came down. The girl pictured in several images seems to be the
child of a family friend. I thought the taped to the table image and the other pic with #chickenlover tag were at a minimum indicators
of a dark humor or innuendo. Who finds this sort of thing funny?
There were more pics of infants and a doll with creepy tags like #hoetard and suggestive comments, again, indicating a level of
casual comfort with making implied references to pedophilia. ..wink wink.
Gross, at a minimum. But evidence of a ring? I don't understand why Alefantis doesn't just acknowledge that there is an "appearance"
of sick humor.
Regarding the use of supposedly known pedo symbols- I'm skeptical. These are shapes and motifs we see everywhere. It could
be that the pedo symbol inventors purposely chose designs that would easily coincide with innocent use so as to hide in plain
sight. Or hmm ?
Podesta is definitely using code in his emails but my read was that he's talking about drugs and partying. Didn't we all use
"pizza" at one time or another as a reference to party favors back in the day?
The Podestas have bad taste in art. Not a crime, just a general indicator of regular degenerately "hip" tastes so as to impress
the cool kids?
And yet no one clears the air. And this is disturbing. I have yet to read one Wapo or nyt article denouncing the "witch hunt"
but acknowledging that, yes, it looks bad. Because it really does.
Incidentally, if they haven't been faked, one of Alefantis' instagram commenters is the maker of child sized coffin coffee
tables. Nice.
"What if criminal deviancy rather than disqualifying a person, is not instead some weird prerequisite for elite status? Don't

This fits Occam's Razor. I would go so far as to say that pedophilia blackmail appears to have been a method of political control
since the days of the British Empire. Much like gang membership, participation is required for entrance into the inner circles
of political power, then used as blackmail to enforce conformity and secrecy.
Interestingly, there is a recent episode of "The Black Mirror," a Netflix show, that addresses this very psychology.
There is a rather informative article in the WaPo about Pizzagate and its potential (mass-)psychological origins.
It actually indirectly and temporarily "blames" over-zealous feminists with being the originators of the this moral panic. Quite
interesting, but of course the article/author reverts back to Trump-bashing, etc. in the end.
What the Pizzagate conspiracy theory borrows from a bogus satanic sex panic of the 1980s
Second, in both cases, social movements were involved in the weaponization of suspicion, although the political center of
gravity has shifted from one episode to the next. In the late 1970s, social workers and feminist activists had focused on
combating child sexual abuse; they sometimes developed extremely broad definitions of abuse or floated exaggerated estimates
of its occurrence in this quest. Such efforts have left deep cultural residues, and these include the acceptance of exaggerated
claims about the number of child trafficking victims, and the incidence and forms of organized child sexual abuse. Pizzagate
relies on these inflated fears to seem plausible, and it similarly relies on a viewpoint marked by extreme suspicion (of the
media, Washington "elites," politicians and the Clinton camp specifically) to decode ordinary events and statements into extraordinary
claims.
A moral panic is a feeling of fear spread among a large number of people that some evil threatens the well-being of society.[1][2]
A Dictionary of Sociology defines a moral panic as "the process of arousing social concern over an issue – usually the work of
moral entrepreneurs and the mass media."[3] – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_panic
We know all about "Hysteria", but why did the artist use a decapitated male if not to possibly conflate this in the
viewers mind with the atrocities of Dalmer?
What about the other degenerate art, such as the child bondage spankees posing in the easy- to -clean tiled torture chambers?
Some of us will never accept homosexuality as an "alternative" lifestyle.
The fact that Alefantis is a homo; who by dint of his perverse sexuality- has achieved some level of notoriety prior to pizzagate-
is certainly part of the underlying rancor towards him.
Incredibly generous of you to quote WaPo as a credible source. I would have done the same at one time but that was ages ago.
BB753 asks why haven't the Posdestas sued? I would ask why haven't they at the very least stepped forward to offer a simple
explanation for what most agree is code in the emails?
I would suggest a possibility that blowing the lid off on this exposes exactly how certain "lobby" groups maintain control
of the wheelhouse of the US ship of state, and have consistently steered it into troubled waters against the national interest.
Wiz, a simple typo that my computer ran with (very observant of you).
Pizzagate is not "fake news" at all. It needs to be investigated.
The MSM says it does not disseminate "fake news". However, the MSM will often simply not cover events that ARE real news.
Thus, the MSM is disseminating the opposite of "fake news", namely NO NEWS. The MSM keeps people in the dark because there
things that it does not want people to know about. For example, the MSM will often not cover stories about how the LGBTQ movement
is brainwashing kids in even the lowest grade in public elementary schools. That's because the MSM does not want people to become
upset at the penetration (no pun intended) of the LGBTQ agenda.
In reality, there is relatively little "fake news" out there. Most alternative websites that people visit, such as Unz, simply
provide a different perspective on issues that the MSM won't cover at all, or cover in a cursory manner.
Classic disinfo technique, to seed the truth with a few lies that are provably false so that then the whole thing can be claimed
to be false and written off.
I don't know about the Podestas but as others here have rightly stated, there's enough smoke for a thorough, open investigation.
Coincidently, the anti-Russian rhetoric has escalated to an even more absurd degree alongside the Pizzagate news. I wonder
if the result will be even less people believing the blatant lies of mass media or if people will just demonstrate that there
are no limits to gullibility.
I saw a headline on CNN.com claiming Russia was attempting to smear people by 'planting' child pornography on their computers.
I didn't bother reading it, as CNN is a Gawker level news source these days, but it seems like they may attempt to blame this
stuff on Russia – along with everything else.
Here's another sex scandal (and a certifiably real one) involving a prominent Canadian who turned out to be a pedaphile. There's
a lot in this story that's revealing and fascinating.
Such a disturbing story. But instructive. In particular the information, or perhaps it is a speculation, that the pedophiliac
sexual drive develops early on. This drive must be incredibly strong-stronger than what would be considered normal sexual desire?
I don't know. But I have read that it is so strong that pedophiles make major life choices in terms of finding a way to get access
to children to use sexually. Such as marrying: so they can father their own children and have them handy for abuse. Or entering
a profession, such as the priesthood, or pediatrics, or education, etc. so that they have access to children. Or becoming sports
coaches, where they spend a lot of time in locker rooms and also have blandishments to offer young boys such as sports career
advances. Etc.
I think this point-the power of the drive-should be taken into account when people such as some commenters on this thread say:
"These people [such as Podesta} are too intelligent to risk their careers blah blah." If the pedophilia drive is as strong as,
say, a heroin addiction, then the addiction is in the driver's seat, not "intelligence." The more you feed an addiction, the stronger
it gets, and the more stimulation it takes to get the charge.
As for the sprinkling of a few lies in with a story that is targeted for debunking: In a normal police investigation the police
solicit leads from the public. (It is true that in this case there is not an obvious victim, so that must also be taken into account;
but this was also the situation with the Ben Levin [Toronto] case; nevertheless what he did was criminal and dangerous.) They
examine the leads and follow them up. This is detectives' job.
Often an obscure lead does lead to further useful information needed to build a hypothesis of the motive-means-opportunity
for the crime and widen the scope of an investigation. Every American with a TV set has seen hundred of such police procedurals
showing how crimes have been solved, often cold cases. Bona fide detectives who get leads from the public don't immediately start
to smear the source of leads as looney-tunes. In this case the public, in the face of apparent inaction by law enforcement to
follow up on this case, is responding by posting ideas and hypotheses and possible leads.
An honest law enforcement agency would be conducting an aggressive investigation and checking out any useful info and ideas
that members of the public come up with, whether online or off. Honest news outlets should either be calling for a thorough investigation,
or staying mum if they have been informed that an investigation is ongoing. The fact that the MSM, absent any sign of an investigation,
are blaring out the "nothing here; move on; blogger are rabid fools" message is in itself suspicious and suggests that someone
is being protected. The MSM have put out just enough info to warn the possible wrongdoers to get their act together, change their
signage, and run for cover.

My feeling exactly. Too much volume, no doubts, too orchestrated and nothing being investigated, in fact just like WMD, and
9/11.
I believe that Pizzagate is a Trojan Horse being pushed into Alt-Right internet circles by Hillary/Soros' former CTR trolls
in order to help the Democrats and the MSM continue to flog the "fake news" narrative. The idea behind it is to enable them to
say, "Look, you see what kind of crazy conspiracies those Alt-Righters consume and repeat amongst themselves? This is the kind
of fake news believing nutjobs we're up against." If you think back upon the history of the meme (I hate that word, but I have
no other to use in its place), you'll find that its original and most vocal proponents were exhibiting clear trolling behavior.
Given their flaky commenting histories, their pretended expertise on this then-obscure topic, their ostentatious expressions of
optimism that this breaking news would ensure a Trump victory (itself a rather obsequious and scarcely believable attempt to paint
themselves as one of our number), and their single-minded determination to talk about (and to get us talking about) nothing else,
one can only suspect the presence of some sort of agenda behind their sudden exuberance over Pizzagate.
I believe we are up against a new and rather sophisticated sort of Concern Troll here-a veritable Stuxnet of concern trolling.
A perfect example here at the Unz Review is the poster "anonguy". Look at his commenting history. Look at the sudden acceleration
of his offerings as Election Day neared. And then look at his militant megaphoning of the Pizzagate narrative all over Sailer's
blog in the days immediately preceding the election. Furthermore, pay attention to his unusual style, i.e. how he structures
his comments as detached musings about the goings-on in the "infosphere" (his word), how he jejunely assures us the "the narrative
is forming" (yes, he actually said that, and at a time when there was no narrative to speak of), and his links to literally
fake news sites (the Denver Guardian? Give me a break). Now tell me that this is the behavior of someone who actually has
the health of the body politic as his primary objective.
Now, after having sifted all that, do try to remember that the larger general public really doesn't know or care anything at
all about Pizzagate, and that the leaked Podesta emails (all 37,000 of them, or whatever the final tally was) influenced the vote
of precisely no one who did not have the time or inclination to read through them all, which is practically every one of us. Remember
that the only people talking about this in the first place are the Alt-Right bloggers and their followers, the very venues of
"fake news" whom the Left is attempting to discredit and sully. Remember that the Clintons and Soros specialize in public deception
and that they employ all sorts of people for that very purpose. Now consider who is rendered vulnerable by all of this. It isn't
going to be the Clintons or Podesta. If Hillary Clinton was not prosecuted for trafficking in state secrets from her private server-a
crime for which she should have been executed- then Podesta is not going to be investigated for this. But you all, on the other
hand, have been tainted with it. You have been successfully associated in the public mind with a "conspiracy theory," with the
"fake news."
My conclusion: Pizzagate is a "thought worm" designed to infect, distract, and destroy the Alt-Right, and most of you have
been infected with it. This is not to say that there is no pedophilia going on in Podesta's circle. There may be or there may
not be, I really don't know. The point is that there isn't anything you can do about it. The accusations will be turned
against the accusers instead-classic Clinton behavior. It would be better not to take the bait anymore. Recent history has demonstrated
over and over again that the public is not going to rise up with one voice and clamor for the punishment even of credibly accused
child molesters unless there is something more to be gained from doing so, and in this case there clearly isn't. What this says
about the spiritual state of the modern West or the psychology of fallen mankind are subjects I will leave for another discussion.
For now it is simply a fact of life with which we have to account. The only way to beat these people is the Chicago Way: hit them
harder than they hit you. We dealt them a stunning blow by electing Donald Trump, but now we are in danger of losing our advantage
by immersing ourselves in a mire of toothless recriminations, and this is exactly what they want. Let's not fall for this again;
let us rather rekindle the spirit that got us this far, and take these vile people down once and for all.
The Washington Post found the funds to assign 27 investigative reporters for over a year to dig dirt on Trump, and bragged
about it. Judging by what they came up with, it wasn't too fruitful.
First you say the entire pizzagate meme is fake and it's fakery will undo the alt-right. Then you say that you can't do anything
about pedophilia anyway, pizzagate or otherwise.
Which is it? Is the story fake and thereby discrediting to those who support it, or is it real but pointless to cover because
you can't do anything about it?
Then you suggest we do this "the Chicago way" which is hitting harder than them whatever that means. If you are not going to
open investigations against these people, then what does "hitting harder" entail?
There is no way that Soros or anyone else is going to construct an elaborate criminal conspiracy out of whole cloth and tag
one of his own loyal operatives.
I agree.
Intelligent's comment looks to me like an elaborate misdirection.
All such blah blah gets no one any closer to an answer as to what is behind the coded language in the Wikileaks emails.
It is a classic example of throwing up a convolution of dust to obscure the smoking emails.
Stick to the evidence.
Ignore irrelevant baroque musings.
You make some good points but have missed the real issue entirely. Whilst I and many others here DO care about pedos and want
them locked away from society, what makes this matter much more important is that it involves many top level power brokers in
politics.
Pedophilia is more of a compulsion rather than addiction, why matters less than the fact that recidivism is the norm and society
deserves protection both from the crime itself and from the crimes of blackmail that can result from knowledge of it..
Blackmail is a very powerful tool in the work of pure evil and is the reason why even Marines and Embassy guards have restrictions
on who they may or may not consort with whilst on active foreign postings. I would estimate that there is no greater threat of
exposure than one of sexually exploiting children. Even hardened criminals have contempt for such perverts who are usually granted
special protection when incarcerated.
I would venture the suggestion that people with a compulsion towards sexual contact with children are identified early in their
careers and consequently put forward for rapid progress within government institutions by those working behind the scene to exercise
control over others with decision making capacity in the highest levels of government.
This is not a matter to be swept away if the swamp is to be drained, rather, this may well be where the "plughole" to the swamp
itself is to be uncovered. It will require a special investigation team but not one like the Warren Commission or 9/11 "Investigation",
a real investigation. Americans should settle for nothing less and it is incumbent of them to demand it.

I'm willing to believe something pretty sordid is required to keep the bung hole as tightly plugged as it is and I can't imagine
anything else creating a more tightly woven, impenetrable web of mutual blackmail. Imagine what they have on each other, and imagine
what foreign intelligence services could do with same if they got hold of it. Come to think of it, maybe they have
America must get to the bung, dislodge it and deal with the stench that will cover the country for a generation. Until then,
America can't hope to be great again.
This makes a lot of sense.
That string pullers are on the lookout for rising political stars who can be compromised along the way.
Hmmmmm . . .
Seems like a lot of political families have dynastic aspirations. That would mean that such offspring might be natural targets
for monitoring for any "quirks."
Craig Spence's call boy business in Washington clearly involved high civilian and military officials. And Spence was able to
take friends on midnight tours of the White House.
Spence's house was provided by the Japanese ruling party. The house they provided him had at least one bedroom wired for audio
and video. I'm sure the Japanese didn't know that.
The Washington Times covered it for two or three weeks and it was never mentioned again.
Kids from Boys Town in Nebraska were allegedly used.
Unpack that and hope your hair doesn't turn white.
"Nobody is suggesting a rush to judgement here but clearly a prompt and thorough investigation is called for especially given
the supporting evidence, as other commenters have pointed out."
Really.
If the putative "circumstantial evidence" that Russia-no! Putin himself!!-interfered in the American election suffices to launch
the CIA on a nutty investigation whose purpose is, obviously, to "prove" that this is the case to the satisfaction of enough electors
for them to become "faithless," then I think the Pizzagate emails plus "circumstantial" Pizzagate evidence are by comparison much
more compelling and really scream for an investigation. In the Pizzagate case the investigating agency would presumably be the
FBI. Which *might* be grounds to expect a genuine investigation.
No reasonable person would think that the emails really are about Podesta's playing dominos and having cheese for dinner. quite
apart from the fact that cheese is usually mixed in with pasta!! Come on. I bet Podesta doesn't know how to play the game of dominos.
What are these people really emailing about?
For U.S. readers to gauge whether something like this COULD be happening in an advanced country, look to other countries where
such incidents ARE known to have happened.
In Belgium, the Marc DUTROUX scandal led to political consequences and appears to be ongoing.
In the UK, the claims against Ted Heath and Cyril Smith (see picture of both in article linked below) are broadly seen as having
at least some factual basis, and were reported in a number of newspapers including the Independent, the Guardian and the Daily
Mail (see link below). Other names were rumored about.
There were also years of investigations and cover-ups involving various orphanages such as KINCORA (in Northern Ireland) and
HAUTE GARENNE (on the Isle of Jersey). Both were conveniently located in somewhat remote locations outside the direct reach of
English law.
There were also extensive rumors regarding several locations in London. Investigations were accompanied by the usual fortuitous
deaths of potential witnesses, mysterious disappearance of documents, etc.
To reiterate a point that should be clear to the more astute reader, my goal in this series (part 1, part 2) has not been
to defend "Pizzagate" as such. My goal has been to defend the people who want to investigate it against specific accusations
levied against them by people who think Pizzagate has revealed no intriguing information at all-for a specific reason, which
I will be honing in and focusing on much more directly in this closing entry.
Whereas the mainstream critics of Pizzagate would have you believe that the world is divided between paranoid conspiracy
theorist followers of "fake news" and level-headed people who follow trustworthy news sources and rely on cold, hard reason
to determine the truth, my goal has been to show that-whatever is or is not happening with Pizzagate itself-this framing of
the issue is arrogant, insulting, and the product of extremely narrow tunnel vision. [...]
And if the media is telling you only about the most bizarre, reaching accusations without telling you any of the more
interesting points that have been uncovered (which it is), it is not doing its proper job."
If in fact making all the "elite" blackmailable is the object of the exercise and at the same time being blackmailable is the
requisite entry ticket to the elite, then not all the people taking part in all this sinister deviancy need be actual pedophiles!
Some of them could be "merely" psychopaths furthering their careers. (Not that that makes them any better.)
If this story is what it appears to be – the tip of a very nasty and very large iceberg, then it could be the mechanism by
which the "Deep State" keeps its control of the US government. That would make getting an investigation by official investigators
going, very difficlt indeed.

Well, I don't really have anything to contribute to the "Pizzagate" discussion myself, except to say that some of the supposed
evidence plus the behavior of the media makes me very, *very* suspicious.
However, here's a somewhat related paragraph from one of the articles I published a year or two ago:
An obvious problem with installing puppet rulers is the risk that they will attempt to cut their strings, much like Putin
soon outmaneuvered and exiled his oligarch patron Boris Berezovsky. One means of minimizing such risk is to select puppets
who are so deeply compromised that they can never break free, knowing that the political self-destruct charges buried deep
within their pasts could easily be triggered if they sought independence.
I have sometimes joked with my friends that perhaps the best career move for an ambitious young politician would be to secretly
commit some monstrous crime and then make sure that the hard evidence of his guilt ended up in the hands of certain powerful
people, thereby assuring his rapid political rise.
This is ALL about the child trafficing that the Clinton-Bush Foundation was doing in Haiti. It is the weakpoint in a global
child trafficing network and it is why the Clinton-Bush Foundation has taken down their website and are attempting to cover up
any traces of it as we speak. Trump knows.
Anyone who believes that it is ludicrous to think that pizzerias could be used for such nefarious operations, I 'd like to
point out to you the case of "The French Connection" which later became known as "The Pizza Connection" in which a huge global
network of pizzerias were being used to distribute drugs in the 1980′s.
Anyone who believes that the pedophile code is purely circumstantial needs to take a look at the Katy Perry video "This Is
How We Do" which appears to be an homage to Comet Pizza. It is absolutely rife with the code words from the Podesta emails revealed
by Pizzagate. They prance around with convicted sex offender, who plea bargained out of a child porn charge, Pee-Wee Herman(
http://people.com/celebrity/pee-wee-actor-settles-kiddie-porn-case/
) singing about "this is how they do" and "it's no big deal".
Here is a video "Kids" by the group MGMT. The quote at the beginning of the video is from the quintessential Satanist Nietzsche("Free
spirits", by contrast to the philosophers of the past, are "investigators to the point of cruelty, with rash fingers for the ungraspable,
with teeth and stomach for the most indigestible"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyond_Good_and_Evil ). The video shows them bragging about how prevalent they are through our
community. The "do as thou wilt" bastards are laughing at us about how they control positions of authority like policemen(3:36
of video) and how childrens TV programs are filled with their garbage of wolves in sheeps clothing(4:24 of video). And of course
the Pizza and Hot Dog symbology throughout the end which culminates with them eating the child. This trash has 77 million views
on Youtube.
Here is the video "Criminal" by Fiona Apple. It is all about placing the blame on the victim, by saying that the victim enticed
the pedo scum, instead of the perpetrator. This homage to Child Porn makes great pains to highlight Pizza(:21 and :38 of the video)
and tiled kill rooms with easy clean-up(:45 of the video and blood stains on carpet at :48 and :54).
The lyrics from "In Bloom":
Sell the kids for food. Weather changes moods. Spring is here again. Reproductive Glands. We can have some more. Nature is
a whore. Bruises on the fruit. Tender age in bloom . But he don't know what it means when I say "Yummmmmm"
It should be noted that there are two versions of this song. The original one has the Yummmmm heard at the end at 4:15 in this
version.
Some potential victims of James Alefantis have been identified and one gave an anonymous testimony.
What James Alefantis allegedly did here is not illegal, but speaks volumes about his character, in my opinion, if the story
indeed is true:
[...]
It turns out that Carole's son, who is +/-18 at this time, is also working at the restaurant. I think his name is Dylan/Dillon.
He grew up without a father and turned to James Alefantis often for advice.
One night Carole walked into the comet pizza kitchen, and saw James Alefantis fucking her son in the kitchen. She was furious
because she immediately knew how completely James had taken advantage of her son. She quit immediately and denounced James
viciously in private, unwilling to do so publicly for professional reasons.
The story checks out, so far: Carole Greenwood is a single mom and has a son named Dylan, who was 13 years old/young in
2003. [...] [–] daj 16 points (+16|-0) 11 hours ago (edited 10 hours ago)
Disclaimer : I have absolutely no idea if this person is authentic, but since many Pizzagate critics argue
that the scandal has not a leg to stand on, because no victims have come forward so far, I believe this testimony is important
to share.
[...]
This is how he answered one of the questions on a voat comment thread. He seems to know/be aware of Dylan Greenwood
[...]
Here is one of the email exchanges between he and James Alefantis, that he did not delete:
http://archive.is/8423t
[...]
After a little while when it was nearing the final exams, I was stressed out, exhausted and let my guard down and went out
for some drinks with James a few times after work to get stuff off my chest. James would drug me up and then take advantage
of me. When I threatened to go to the police he implied that he would harm me physically and said he would sue me. He had so
many friends around DC that I believed him, I really was afraid, and just kept it all bottled up. I ended up getting PTSD,
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, from what were effectively rapes, and later I began to realize that I likely had Stockholm
Syndrome. I eventually quit the job, but James would send me lewd photos and texts for another 2 or three years at the rate
of once about every 2 to 3 months, I think 6 months was the longest in that period. I had to kick him out of the place I worked
when he came in every other month or so for about a year. Let this be a lesson: do not trust sociopaths and pathological liars.
Note: I have personally verified this person's identity and backstory. I obviously cannot verify his accusations. He
wishes to remain anonymous.
By now, most people are at least vaguely familiar with the so-called "fake news" story known as Pizzagate. For those that
aren't, the brief version is that self described "internet investigators" caught wind of some strange wording in the John Podesta
emails released by Wikileaks, and went down the largest internet rabbit hole in recent history.
The story was quickly written off as mass hysteria, a conspiracy theory, and fake news by nearly all of mainstream media,
and censored from the internet forum site Reddit. The theory, which has a plethora of circumstantial evidence, lacked one key
factor: a victim. [...] The anonymous nature of internet forums leads to skeptics demanding proof of any seemingly outrageous
claim. The publication of these emails adds credibility to his story.

Trump's supporters have long wondered whether he'd use billionaire sicko Jeffrey Epstein as ammo against the Clintons-until a
lurid new lawsuit accused The Donald of raping one of Epstein's girls himself. Editor's note: This article has been updated to
reflect the withdrawal of Virginia Roberts Guiffre's allegations against Alan Dershowitz and the striking of the allegations from
the court record by a federal judge. For Jeffrey Epstein and his famous friends, the Aughts were a simpler time, when the businessmen,
academics, and celebrities who counted themselves among the playboy philanthropist's inner circle could freely enjoy the fruits of
his extreme wealth and connections. Epstein's
little black book
and flight
logs read like a virtual Who's Who: Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Larry Summers, Kevin Spacey,
Prince Andrew , and Naomi Campbell all hitched rides on Epstein's private planes. Socialites and distinguished scientists went
to visit Epstein's island in St. Thomas, and cavorted at
epic dinner parties at his palatial townhouse-then
the largest privately owned residence in New York, as
he liked to brag .
There, they picked at elaborate meals catered by celebrity chefs like Rocco DiSpirito, marvelled at Epstein's opulent decor, and
noted the pack of very, very young model-types with whom Epstein always seemed to surround himself. But a darker story was going
on underneath the glamour. In 2008, Epstein was convicted of soliciting
sex from an underage girl and quietly paid settlements to scores of alleged victims who said he serially molested them.
But the girls kept coming out of the woodwork-in 2014, another young woman filed a lawsuit claiming that Epstein used her as a sex
slave for his powerful friends-and that she'd been at parties on his private island with former President Clinton. And just last
week, yet another "Jane Doe" filed a suit in New York accusing Epstein and Donald Trump of raping her at a series of sex parties
when she was only 13.
... ... ...
By the time Epstein was arrested in 2008, police in Palm Beach County, Florida, had already
spent months monitoring his movements, rifling through his trash, and interviewing potential victims and witnesses. Police
reported to prosecutors that they had gathered
enough evidence to charge the money manager with several felonies: lewd and lascivious molestation and four counts of unlawful sexual
activity with a minor. Epstein's freedom, his wealth, his little black book full of famous folk-including princes, presidents, and
prime ministers-all were seemingly at stake.
So Epstein did what the mega-rich do in these situations: hired star attorneys Gerald Lefcourt and Alan Dershowitz, who defended
their client vigorously, reportedly having witnesses followed and discrediting the alleged victims by offering their MySpace pages
as evidence of supposed drug use and scandalous behavior.
Prosecutors said Epstein's dream team made successful prosecution unlikely. "Our judgment in this case, based on the evidence
known at the time, was that it was better to have a billionaire serve time in jail, register as a sex offender, and pay his victims
restitution than risk a trial with a reduced likelihood of success," U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta explained in a 2011 letter.
And so, despite a decade of alleged serial sexual abuse and rape of an unknowable number of girls, some as many as 100 times according
to court filings, the notoriously secretive financier was offered a deal. For the alleged systematic victimization of young girls-most
of whom were plucked by Epstein's assistants from Palm Beach's poorer neighborhoods and groomed to adore or acquiesce to him-he was
slapped with a 2008 conviction on a single charge of soliciting a minor; and sentenced to an 18-month stay in a Palm Beach county
jail-of which he served only 13 months and was allowed to leave six days out of every week for "work release." He also agreed to
a few dozen confidential, out-of-court payoffs to his accusers, the most recent of which was finalized in 2011.
Epstein's "potential co-conspirators," as the U.S. Attorney called them-women who allegedly procured girls for Epstein-also received
immunity from prosecution as a condition of the 2007 agreement that enraged the local police force for its leniency. As of 2015,
according to The Guardian, two of these women had changed their names, and were operating businesses out of a building owned by Epstein's
brother, where it was alleged in court documents that Epstein had housed young women.
Though Epstein must register as a sex offender for life, and arguably suffer the world's most revolting Google presence, he has
seemingly retained his collection of elite academic and media friends as well as his fortune. Since his release in 2009, Epstein
has gone about his business, running a mysterious money management firm (clients unknown, income unknown, investments and activities
unknown) from his private 70-acre island in the U.S. Virgin Islands and spending time at his Uptown stone mansion. The palace was
gifted to Epstein, some say, by its previous owner-Epstein's guardian angel and the founder of The Limited Inc., Leslie Wexner.
... ... ...
In December 2014, just as the Palm Beach lawsuits were winding down, another alleged victim emerged and her claims were salacious:
Epstein, she said, had loaned her out as an underage sex slave to his famous friends -- including Britain's Prince Andrew and Epstein
defense attorney Dershowitz (both men denied the charges). Coming forward in Britain's
Daily Mail in 2011, Virginia Roberts Guiffre-called Jane Doe #3 in a related lawsuit (
PDF )-claimed that
Epstein and his "girlfriend,"
alleged
madame Ghislaine Maxwell, forced her to have sex with the pair's powerful pals and gather intel that Epstein could later
use. In court documents,
Guiffre testified, "Epstein and Maxwell also told me that they wanted me to produce things for them in addition to performing
sex on the men. They told me to pay attention to the details about what the men wanted so I could report back to them."
Guiffre noted that
Epstein appeared to be collecting information on Prince Andrew-particularly on his alleged foot fetish-and claimed, "Epstein also
trafficked me for sexual purposes to other powerful men, including politicians and powerful business executives. Epstein required
me to describe the sexual events I had with these men presumably so that he could potentially blackmail them. I am still very fearful
of these men today." A judge threw out Guiffre's motion in 2015, but Guiffre stands by her claims and is suing Ghislaine Maxwell,
whom she claims acted as Epstein's madam. Meanwhile, the men named by Guiffre seem eager for her to go away. "It's as if I've
been waterboarded for 15 months," Dershowitz told the
Boston Globe after the settlement of a defamation case related to Guiffre's claims. "This has taken a terrible
toll on my family, on my friends " Buckingham Palace has also
denied the allegations against Prince Andrew, calling them "categorically untrue."
UPDATE: This April, Giuffre's lawyers withdrew her allegations against Dershowitz and said that it was a "mistake" to have
filed the accusations in the first place. A federal judge later struck her allegations against Dershowitz from the court record.
At Dershowitz's request, Louis Freeh, the former head of the FBI, also conducted an independent investigation of her claims and published
a statement noting, "Our investigation found no evidence to support the accusations of sexual misconduct against Professor Dershowitz."
In her lawsuit, Guiffre had claimed that during trips to Epstein's private island, she'd also encountered another very famous
person: former President Bill Clinton. Guiffre
alleges the former
U.S. president visited Epstein's "Orgy Island" when there were underage girls present, but added that she never had sex with him
and never saw him have sex with any of the young women. Still, it's these sorts of allegations that have journalists and Clinton-haters
circling. Just last month, pundits on MSNBC's
Morning Joe were speculating about Bill Clinton's oft-discussed friendship with Epstein and whether it would
be the go-to play for a Trump campaign looking to combat Hillary Clinton's claims that Trump is
bad for women .
Requests for comment to Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Clinton Foundation were not returned. The former president, who
flew on the
"The Lolita Express" at least 26 times from 2001 to 2003, has never addressed his ties with Epstein, a onetime major Democratic donor, according
to Federal Election Commission records, who also
gave
millions to the Clinton Foundation even after his arrest for abusing underage girls.
"I invest in people-be it politics or science. It's what I do," Epstein has
reportedly said to friends. "There's a 100 percent
chance [Trump] is going there," said former McCain strategist Steve Schmidt on Morning Joe , referring to Clinton's friendship
with the pervy moneyman.
"... The Jeffrey Epstein case is an asteroid poised to strike the elite world in which he moved. No one can yet say precisely how large it is. ..."
"... The questions about Epstein are metastasizing much faster than they can be answered: Who knew what about Epstein's alleged abuse? How, and from whom, did Epstein get his supposed $500 million fortune? Why did Acosta grant Epstein an outrageously lenient non-prosecution agreement?

Jeffrey Epstein "It's Going to Be Staggering, the Amount of Names": As the Jeffrey Epstein Case Grows More Grotesque, Manhattan
and DC Brace for Impact
The disgraced financier "collected people," said a source. Could some of them be implicated in his crimes? Meanwhile, Alan Dershowitz
("He's a bad person") and David Boies ("He's a liar") are already at war over the case.
The Jeffrey Epstein case is an asteroid poised to strike the elite world in which he moved. No one can yet say precisely how large
it is. But as the number of women who've accused the financier (at least, that's what he claimed to be) of sexual assault grows to
grotesque levels -- there are said to be more than 50 women who are potential victims -- a wave of panic is rippling through Manhattan,
DC, and Palm Beach, as Epstein's former friends and associates rush to distance themselves, while gossiping about who might be ensnared.
Donald Trump 's labor secretary, Alexander Acosta, architect of the original 2007 non-prosecution agreement that let Epstein off
with a wrist slap, has already been forced to resign.
The questions about Epstein are metastasizing much faster than they can be answered: Who knew what about Epstein's alleged abuse?
How, and from whom, did Epstein get his supposed $500 million fortune? Why did Acosta grant Epstein an outrageously lenient non-prosecution
agreement? (And what does it mean that Acosta was
reportedly
told Epstein "belonged to intelligence"?) But among the most pressing queries is which other famous people might be exposed for
committing sex crimes. "There were other business associates of Mr. Epstein's who engaged in improper sexual misconduct at one or
more of his homes. We do know that," said Brad Edwards, a lawyer for Courtney Wild, one of the Epstein accusers who gave emotional
testimony at Epstein's bail hearing. "In due time the names are going to start coming out." (Attorneys for Epstein did not respond
to a request for comment.)
Likely within days, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit will release almost 2,000 pages of documents that could reveal
sexual abuse by "numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, a well-known prime minister,
and other world leaders," according to the three-judge panel's ruling. The documents were filed during a civil defamation lawsuit
brought by Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre, a former Mar-a-Lago locker-room attendant, against Epstein's former girlfriend
and alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell. "Nobody who was around Epstein a lot is going to have an easy time now. It's all going to come
out," said Giuffre's lawyer David Boies. Another person involved with litigation against Epstein told me: "It's going to be staggering,
the amount of names. It's going to be contagion numbers."
Epstein remained a fixture in elite circles even after he was a registered sex offender. A few years ago, for example, he was
a guest at a dinner in Palo Alto hosted by LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman for the MIT neuroscientist Ed Boyden. At the dinner, Elon
Musk introduced Epstein to Mark Zuckerberg. ("Mark met Epstein in passing one time at a dinner honoring scientists that was not organized
by Epstein," Zuckerberg spokesman Ben LaBolt told me. "Mark did not communicate with Epstein again following the dinner.")
In an email, Elon Musk responded: "I don't recall introducing Epstein to anyone, as I don't know the guy well enough to do so,
Epstein is obviously a creep and Zuckerberg is not a friend of mine. Several years ago, I was at his house in Manhattan for about
30 minutes in the middle of the afternoon with Talulah [Riley] , as she was curious about meeting this strange person for a novel
she was writing. We did not see anything inappropriate at all, apart from weird art. He tried repeatedly to get me to visit his island.
I declined." A Musk spokesperson also emailed: "Elon never introduced Jeffrey Epstein to Mark Zuckerberg and does not know either
person well enough to do so. They simply happened to be guests at a neuroscience dinner organized by Reid Hoffman." Advertisement
One source who's done business with Epstein told me that Epstein's 21,000-square-foot townhouse on East 71st Street welcomed a steady
stream of the Davos crowd in the past decade. The source said Bill Gates, Larry Summers, and Steve Bannon visited the house, which
has been called one of the largest private residences in Manhattan. "Jeffrey collected people. That's what he did," the source said.
Gates and Summers did not respond to requests for comment.
Thus far, the name most publicly associated with Epstein's alleged crimes is famed lawyer Alan Dershowitz, who's been waging a
public battle with David Boies for years. In April, Boies's client Giuffre sued Dershowitz for defamation after Dershowitz called
her a liar (a strategy similar to that of seven of Bill Cosby 's
accusers
). In the days since the FBI arrested Epstein at Teterboro Airport a week and a half ago, Dershowitz has been going on television
and dialing up friends and reporters to profess his innocence and label Giuffre and Boies liars. "I want everything to come out!
I'm not afraid of anything because I did nothing wrong," Dershowitz told me on the afternoon of July 15.
He called me a minute after I had emailed him for comment. He said he'd been friends with Epstein since 1996, when they were introduced
at a party on Martha's Vineyard by Lynn Forester de Rothschild. "She begged me to meet him. She told me, 'here's this smart academic.'"
A few days later, Epstein invited Dershowitz to Les Wexner 's 59th birthday party at Wexner's mansion in New Albany, Ohio. "It's
a tradition that Jeff invited the smartest person he met that year. He told them I was the smartest." They remained close for years.
Dershowitz strenuously denied ever participating in Epstein's underage sex ring and said he'd only been in Epstein's presence with
his wife. "I got one massage!" he told me. "It was from a 50-year-old Russian woman named Olga. And I kept my shorts on. I didn't
even like it. I'm not a massage guy."
Dershowitz said he secretly (and legally) tape-recorded settlement conversations with Boies and that the phone calls capture Boies
admitting that Giuffre's allegations aren't true. "Boies is a bad person," he told me.
"I never said that," Boies responded when I asked about Dershowitz's version of the phone calls. "What Alan does is he plays a
second or two out of context; he never lets anybody listen to the whole thing." Boies also dismissed Dershowitz's claim that he never
met Giuffre at Epstein's house. According to Boies, Epstein's former employees said in sworn depositions that they saw Dershowitz
at the house multiple times without his wife. "This Olga woman doesn't exist. Epstein's barely kept women around who were over 25.
It's a figment of Alan's imagination," Boies said. On Wall Street, Epstein is a subject of mystery -- and fear. "I knew Jeff. He
came across as very smart, very sophisticated," one hedge fund manager told me. "He always had a good read on people. But manipulative
people are good at that." Another person who's been in meetings with Epstein told me: "He's very clever."
How Epstein obtained his fortune is a matter of feverish speculation. His claim to a billionaire-only client list now seems laughable
to the bankers I spoke with. One Wall Street source with direct knowledge of Epstein's business said one source of Epstein's income
was providing "tax advice and estate planning" to rich clients, like Apollo Global Management founder Leon Black , presumably because
Epstein had experience with offshore funds after basing his office in the Virgin Islands. In 2015 Black made a $10 million
donation to Epstein's
foundation. (Black declined to comment.) Advertisement In the absence of much other information, the reigning theory on Wall Street
currently is that Epstein's activities with women and girls were central to the building of his fortune, and his relations with some
of his investors essentially amounted to blackmail.
Similarly, DC is on edge. "Epstein bragged about his contacts in Washington," Boies said. Reporters are likely to dig into why
the Justice Department decided not to prosecute Epstein and kept the deal secret from his victims. One theory circulating among prominent
Republicans is that Epstein was a Mossad agent. Another is that the George W. Bush White House directed Acosta not to prosecute Epstein
to protect Prince Andrew on behalf of the British government, then the U.S.'s closest ally in the Iraq war. "The royal family did
everything they could to try and discredit the Prince Andrew stuff," Boies told me. "When we tried to follow up with anything, we
were stonewalled. We wanted to interview him, they were unwilling to do anything." (Prince Andrew could not be reached for comment).
Of course, the two Epstein friends that people are most curious about are Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, both of whom have denied
anything untoward. During the 2016 presidential race, Hillary Clinton 's campaign consulted Bill's post–White House Secret Service
logs because they were worried Trump would bring up Bill's close association with Epstein and wanted to get ahead of the story, a
source told me.
For those in Epstein's orbit, the stakes of exposure are bound to get higher as more and more women come forward. Every day seems
to bring new horrors about Epstein's alleged depravity. At a press conference on Tuesday, Courtney Wild's lawyer Brad Edwards said
that after interviewing dozens of Epstein's accusers, it appeared Epstein spent almost all of his time abusing underage girls. "It
was his full-time job," Edwards said. "We have not found anyone who has provided information about a legitimate business he was engaged
[in]."
This article has been updated to include a comment from Elon Musk, and to clarify Epstein's relationship to Leon Black.
Cornell professor, and long-time friend, David Collum recently appeared on an episode of
the
Quoth the Raven podcast
to talk all things
conspiracy. Collum is an economic commentator, chemist, Betty R. Miller Professor of Chemistry and
Chemical Biology at Cornell University and is known for writing his "Year in Review", which appears
here on Zerohedge
at the end of every year.
On the episode, host Chris Irons notes that
Collum's appearance was prompted by a recent Tweet he put out, in defense of being a conspiracy
theorist which sparked a massive social media response and outpouring of reactions, both pro and
con.
On the podcast, Collum and host Chris Irons tap into every major conspiracy theory over the last
couple of decades, as well as several current events and the world of finance.
Some highlights:
Collum Thinks Jeffrey Epstein Could Have Been Working For "Powerful People" And "Setting
People Up"
The discussion starts with analysis of the current Jeffrey Epstein fiasco and Collum ponders
what "can of worms" could open for Bill Clinton and Donald Trump as a result of Epstein going to
trial and documents relating to his indictment coming to light.
"It's going to be bi-partisan," Collum says about the Epstein allegations. "Epstein was working
for powerful people, to get dirt on powerful people. Epstein wasn't just a dirtball, he was setting
people up," he continues.
Collum comments:
"Nowadays getting photographed on a boat with a blonde sitting on your lap doesn't even
cause you to lose a vote. Now they gotta get you with something much dirtier. I think that's
where the underage kids come in. I think Epstein has been building a portfolio of dirt, like J.
Edgar Hoover."
"What if that crazy ass pizzagate conspiracy turns out to be true?" he asks.
* * *
Collum Doesn't Buy The 9/11 Narrative - "Physics Tells Me There's Problems"
Collum then discusses why he doesn't believe the mainstream narrative behind the 9/11 attacks.
He cites physics, Building 7 and the lack of video footage of the plane crashing into the Pentagon
as two of the big reasons that he questions the official story.
"I think there's problems with 9/11, but no one wants to say that because they're embarrassed
to say that. But the laws of physics tell me there's problems. I don't give a shit about the
squibs or Larry Silverstein saying they decided to pull the building. When I watch two towers
come down perfectly and I go 'chaos theory alone says they should have gone asymmetric and
stopped tumbling'..."
Collum continues:
""
I can't believe Building 7 should have fallen
. There's really not a shred of
footage of the plane hitting the pentagon. Not one frame. The official frame isn't a frame. If
someone's got the footage, let me see it."
There's conspiracy theory and conspiracy fact... important
distinction... The Congressional 9/11 Inquiry strongly points to
CIA- FBI collaboration with the Saudis (the 28 pages redacted by
Bush) to stage the 9/11 Terror Spectacle...
I am a "conspiracy theorist". I believe men and women of wealth
and power conspire. If you don't think so, then you are what is
called "an idiot". If you believe stuff but fear the label, you
are what is called "a coward".
I was on Yahoo commenting on a stupid article about Trump and some
Kurdish lady asking for asylum. All the comments were anti-Trump.
I posted a couple of above board comments and they were all
erased. Yahoo articles are heavily censored and bots are posting
most of their liberal views. I wonder how long before sites like
ZeroHedge will last.
Jeffrey Epstein's former IT contractor, Steve Scully, says that he ended his business
relationship with the 66-year-old pedophile over hordes of young women all over his infamous
private island, as well as an extensive collection of photographs depicting topless women
displayed in the island's various compounds , according to Good Morning America.
... ... ...
Scully told ABC News that he owned and operated a telecommunications business
on nearby St. Thomas island when he was hired by Epstein to set up a communications network on
Little St. James, also known as 'Pedo Island.' He visited the island over 100 times, and says
that his memories of Epstein are 'vivid.'
" He was the most intense person I ever met ," said Scully.
Epstein wanted phone or internet access nearly everywhere on the 72-acre island, Scully
said, including in a secluded cove that the financier referred to as "the grotto." Given his
work in high-volume financial trading, Scully said, Epstein "never wanted a call to drop"
because of weak digital coverage on the island .
The island's primary compound was arranged in a "Danish style" layout -- with individual
bedroom suites in individual buildings surrounding a courtyard, Scully recalled, including a
pair of large cockatoo statues lording over the island's gardens. He said that at one point,
he recalled Epstein wanting to change the name of the island from "Little St. James" to
"Little Saint Jeff."
According to Scully, that the strange 'temple' structure was actually a gym , which
contained a massive framed photo of a topless woman.
Yes, Epstein and Maxwell were obviously operating a major "sex trafficking" operation that
involved plenty of girls who were underage.
But Epstein was also, in effect, operating a bordello. A whore house. One assumes that any
man who "paid" to be in Epstein's company, had his choice of women or girls.
This is why these places are so "out of the way" and secluded. The island and the ranch in
New Mexico.
On season St Thomas is awash in bimbo tourists from all over the US & Europe
Ask the St Thomas police how many are reported missing and the estimate of those never
reported. Cruise ships don't care..they leave. Airplane don't wait. The assumption is that
they got drunk or went native. If they don't show up somewhere looking for a ride home, is
any one really looking for them ? Inquiring minds would like to know.
Offer them a party on a PRIVATE Island !..A helicopter or boat ride ! Keep em fed..$2.00 a
quart duty free rum...keeping the island stocked with bimbos is the easy part...especially
for his less discerning quests. Now the " prime stock " of young uns is a different matter
but just keeping a " horde " of bimbos in stock is a breeze for his staff.
When they get stale or become troublesome...drop them back on St Thomas and let the
authorities send them back to whence they came with a nice annual retainer to the local
constabulary. Rounding up drunks and miscreants and putting them on airplanes is routine duty
in island life
I'm sure New Mexico offers the same opportunities and that has its own airstrip.
It seems that Vanity Fair is taking the lead in producing informative articles about
Epstein's "world."
I gather from a recent story that The Miami Herald might, in fact, be trying to "follow
the money."
Both good developments. The more "mainstream" journalists who get involved - and score
"scoops" and produce content with big audiences - the more other news organizations might
say, "Let's join in and do the same thing."
That's when big stories get exposed - when a pack of journalists and news organizations
are simultaneously pursuing different avenues of the same story.
... I still haven't seen a story where authorities explain why they haven't arrested
Ghislaine Maxwell or raided the islands or the ranch in New Mexico . So it's not like the
press is actually "fishing where the (big) fish are." At least not yet.
... But they might be getting closer to going here.
Vanity Fair: You started digging into Jeffrey Epstein after writing The Franklin
Scandal. What are some of the similarities you found?
Nick Bryant: That book is a template for what's happening now and how high up it
goes. A major parallel between the two stories is that Lawrence King, who was one of the
primary pimps of this pedophile network I wrote about, and Jeffrey Epstein, they were both
flying children interstate, and they had both done it with impunity for a number of years. In
both instances you have officials who were unwilling to back down. In Epstein, you had the Palm
Beach Police Department that was unwilling to back down, and in Lawrence King, you had the
Nebraska Senate that was unwilling to back down. Epstein had an island, and I'm sure he had
these parties also at his place in Manhattan and elsewhere, and there were hidden cameras. In
this particular venue in Washington, DC, where the Nebraska victims were trafficked, there were
also hidden cameras. The individual who owned the house in Washington, DC, he had intelligence
affiliations. We're seeing with Epstein that he also had alleged intelligence connections. King
and Epstein collected children in the same type of fashion. King would have kids conscript
other kids, just like Epstein would have kids conscript other kids. In both cases the victims
were threatened and hassled. Both Jeffrey Epstein and Lawrence King had lavish lifestyles, but
there wasn't an obvious explanation for their wealth, and both were prominently associated with
power brokers of the highest order. [Editor's note: A grand jury concluded there was no
evidence to charge King with any sex crimes.]
... ... ...
What was your first impression when you read through it and saw all the
names?
I'd seen this exact same thing before with The Franklin Scandal. It was like
déjà vu. I felt like, well, here's another power broker pedophile network.
Definitely.
What stood out to you the most?
His lofty social connections were pretty mind-boggling. There were approximately 22 contact
numbers for Bill Clinton. And the names of the people the house manager had circled were pretty
stunning. Did you just start calling everyone?
I started calling victims. And they were very, very hard to talk to at that point.
How many did you call?
I called as many as I could call. A lot of the numbers were disconnected, but I was able to
talk to some of them, and they essentially corroborated what I thought, that Epstein was the
pimp of a very large network.
... ... ...
Did it get any traction at that point?
Gawker got a lot of hits. They published his flight manifest too. But ultimately I was
stunned that no one in the mainstream media was willing to touch the subject matter.
Now, this is arguably the biggest story in the mainstream media, and the narrative is
starting to turn to, who else in Epstein's network might this touch? How important is the black
book as a piece of evidence, and what does it actually tell us? It's not a crime to be in
someone's Rolodex even if that someone is an accused serial pedophile.
Well, the black book shows that Epstein had connections to Mount Olympus. He was hanging out
with the gods. Why would he have 20-something contact numbers for Bill Clinton? Why did the
house manager circle Donald Trump's name? Why did he circle Ehud Barak's name? Alan
Dershowitz's name? The house manager's credibility is questionable, no? He got busted for
trying to turn a profit on the book.
In these types of investigations, you're gonna deal with some very sordid people. Even the
victims, their credibility can be problematic, because they can come from lower socioeconomic
backgrounds, repeatedly molested at a very young age, some turn to drugs to assuage their pain.
That's what makes this type of thing perfect for the perpetrators. The victims' credibility is
easy to compromise.
To your mind, which are the most interesting names that appear in the book, or that might
prove to be relevant to the current legal proceedings?
There are people in that book whose names aren't circled who I've been told are
perpetrators. One of them is a former U.S. senator.
Who told you that?
One of the lawyers. The black book provides the scaffolding so people can start digging into
Epstein's life. His life is contained in that black book, and a lot of those people have
nothing to do with molesting children, but it just shows the diversity of Epstein's life and
the power brokers he hung out with.
What's your sense of the extent to which the black book might be used as an investigative
road map?
I haven't talked to law enforcement about it, but I'd say the book would be hugely helpful.
Although the majority of the individuals in the book aren't perps, some will invariably be
privy to inconvenient truths about Epstein. Plus, the black book also contains perps who law
enforcement can compel to disclose the particulars of Epstein's network.

Do you have any reporting about Epstein that hasn't yet been made public?
Most of it has been corroborated and confirmed at this point. I was one guy against a
machine, and now there's all kinds of news entities with all kinds of reporters digging into
it.
Where does this whole thing go from here? What are your predictions?
I don't know. In The Franklin Scandal, there were two primary pimps. One committed
suicide, the other did 10 years in prison for embezzlement, and he's had a pretty comfortable
life since. It all depends on whether Epstein's gonna talk or not. If Epstein talks, there's
gonna be a lot of powerful people who could go down. It's really contingent upon how far the
Department of Justice wants to take this. But like I said earlier, the Epstein scandal will
also go all the way up to Mount Olympus.

The Palm Beach Sheriff's Office has launched an internal affairs investigation into how it handled
convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's work release following a 2007 plea agreement that allowed him
to work out of his Palm Beach office for up to 12 hours per day, according to the
Miami
Herald
- which has been instrumental in Epstein's arrest 12 years later.
Specifically, it will look at the decision more than a decade ago to
allow Epstein to be free 12 hours a day on work release while serving a short sentence in the
county stockade on a prostitution-related charge.
On Friday, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw -- the same sheriff who oversaw the
controversial work release arrangement -- ordered the investigation be done.
"
Sheriff Bradshaw takes these matters very seriously
and wants to determine if any actions taken by the deputies assigned to monitor Epstein during
his work release program violated any agency rules and regulations, during the time he was on
PBSO work release program," a news release said. -

Epstein was given a slap on the wrist
over allegations
that he sexually abused girls as young as 14 - many of whom were coerced into sex acts after being
told they were there to offer massages.
The US Attorney's office, headed by disgraced former Labor Secretary
Alexander Acosta,
scrapped a 53-page sex-trafficking indictment against Epstein
,
instead allowing him to plea guilty to solicitation of a minor - a much lesser charge. He served 13
months in the county stockade
vs. the decades-long sentence he faced under the federal
indictment
, according to the
Herald
.
Epstein has been accused of sexually abusing girls while on work
release
, according to attorney Brad Edwards, who represents some of Epstein's accusers.
During a Tuesday press conference in New York City, Edwards introduced a woman named Courtney
Wild, who says Epstein began abusing her when she was 14-years-old, according to
Business
Insider
.
Edwards said
during the
press conference that he raised the accusation to challenge the idea that Epstein was a model
citizen while in jail. Edwards
also
said
that
Epstein was in his office most of the day during his 18-month sentence, of
which he served 13 months, and that he had female visitors under the age of 21
.
Edwards said
Epstein
had sexual interactions with the female visitors that constituted abuse
and were similar
in nature to the abuses described in the indictment and charges Epstein
faces
in
court, which are one count of sex trafficking of minors and one count of conspiracy to engage in
sex trafficking of minors. -
Business

Wild appeared in court on Monday during Epstein's bail hearing, saying "I was sexually abused by
Jeffrey Epstein starting at the age of 14," while standing just feet from the pedophile money
manager.
Epstein was
denied bail on Thursday
, with Wild's appearance cited in Judge Richard M. Berman's decision.
I wouldn't say "blame" is the right word at all. In fact, I
wasn't even posting that coming from the
viewpoint/consideration of the girls.
But, for the sake of being the devil's advocate, let's
take that route:
Let's say you are a 14 or 15 year old child. Why would
an older, rich man even be approaching you
for.....anything? Further, why would you them give them the
time of day, let alone go to their house/apartment.
Further, why would you then allow yourself to be in the
position of being alone with them? Further still, why would
you then "agree" to "give them a massage?"
The only reasons I can come up with are: 1)
Homelessness/Poverty/Hunger/some other extreme condition of
life or health, 2) Attention/the promise of gifts or money,
3) Wanting to **** an older guy and/or daddy issues.
#1 and #3 = vulnerable, which is why our culture has
decided to protect this age group.
I have step
daughters. At 16, I had one who was dressed to kill,
going to a party with a lot of older men. I sat her down
and explained to her how she looked and the attention she
would draw. I did not judge her, I flattered her and told
her it was a responsibility. Later, I was made the bad
guy for being mean and "scaring her." She cried that I
had spoiled her party, that men were not really like
that. I had to back off.
My point? So many parents don't talk to their girls
about this stuff. And by the time you get to them, if
they have not been gently brought along, they think you
are trying to control them, and may actually rebel.
The real investigation should be into Barry Krischer, the jewish
democrat State Prosecutor who only charged his fellow *** Epstein
with solicitation despite the mountains of child molestation
evidence provided by the Palm Beach PD.

"... Mr. LLargi, you need to ask, "Why did this Epstein thing go public now?" This is hard core betrayal of an arrangement Epstein had with government entities and it was done for a reason. Probably a political reason. ..."
"... Epstein seems to be a fairly smart guy, academic-wise, even without the formal degrees. But his inclinations and then being adopted by Mossad entirely corrupted his being. ..."
"... Chances are few elites will go down with Epstein. However, it is very likely the Blackmail material changed hands on who controls it. When it comes to the power structure of the western world, that is a very big deal. ..."
This I found interesting, Fox, also from July 18, because it targets Prince Andrew. Is MI6
going to be able to muffle away the obviously very strong and long-term connection between
Epstein and Andrew? I'm thinking they'd probably have to get those 2,000 pages re-sealed. Or,
you know, burned down. Nuked.

And then there's George Webb. Now he is, I understand, someone who's known as a conspiracy
theorist, but then many people are in some circles, including myself, This video was posted on
July 8 2019, 2 days after Epstein's arrest. My thought while watching this is he may be wrong
on some things, he may even be making a few points up, but when you're that detailed on events
that occurred over such a long time, you're either on very powerful drugs or you're not
entirely wrong. Check for yourself.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/RZlDb6vG6XM
To summarize my thoughts on this, and the reason I started writing this, I can't see Epstein
living much longer. There are too many people who would rather see him dead, including perhaps
himself. And there are very few people who want him to get into lengthy talks with prosecutors
who are actually looking for the truth.
Now of course we must wonder if any prosecutor wants that truth. Alex Acosta left his US
government job because "Epstein is intelligence" was not enough to let him keep his job. And if
we can believe some of the stories about the CIA, the State Dept and Mossad being linked to
Epstein (and we got worse than that), it looks like he's just got to go. Unless someone, or
some party involved, has a reason to protect him against all odds. If only to handicap some
other people.
After this piece I really hope I never have to write about this topic again. My hopes of
that are not overly high, but I do have to say I have a very hard time thinking about child
-sex- abuse. I also think we must think much harder about why it is that we pick predators to
lead our societies. Because this hardly ever fails, doesn't it? A bunch of sexual deviants rise
to the top everywhere.
Sexual predation appears to be some inevitable part of political power. Not everywhere and
not all the time, but far too much for comfort.
Let's hope enough of those predators are exposed through the Jeffrey Epstein case. But, you
know, listening to George Webb, you think of the oil sheikhs and the girls being trafficked by
Epstein and others, from the Balkans and dirt poor African countries, and you ask yourself,
what are the odds of full exposure?
Mr. LLargi, you need to ask, "Why did this Epstein thing go public now?" This is hard core
betrayal of an arrangement Epstein had with government entities and it was done for a reason.
Probably a political reason.
There has to be some systemically critical reason to expose
certain people on that list. Epstein never imagined he would be used as criminal evidence
against them. Lured back to America, he goes from mega rich with money from unknown sources
to a super-max where he can never speak the truth to anyone. I'd guess #2.
There seems to be an attempt to rewrite Epstein's history of attendance at Dalton School
as a math's teacher. Changing the dates of Epstein's attendance and who employed him. Not
sure why, but must be something behind it.
Don Barr was headmaster there and put his resignation in Feb 1974 and left in June 1974.
He hired Epstein apparently, though the assertion now is that Epstein started in Sept 1974.
Barr as the story in the news back then goes had a habit of employing effective smart people
for the job rather than just relying on qualifications.
And stories of Epstein's tenure at Dalton School showed that he was charismatic and a very
effective teacher, though some kids have since reported being uncomfortable at times, most
liked him., so of the students said though that they saw Epstein flirting with the girls.
Don Barr was the absolute opposite of Epstein in every way imaginable (video interviews of
the1970s) and had trouble with the school board for being too strict and conservative when
they wanted progressiveness (NY Times of the day). After Barr quit many members of the school
committee wanted him re-employed and had a lot of support for him, but the Admin didn't offer
it back to him.
The guy that replaced Barr as Headmaster then got into trouble for pedophilia accusation,
getting some familys' daughter to 'live in' in his home and provide housework support for the
family, in exchange for him paying for her school admittance.
It seems that Epstein has had an early predilection for under age girls? and one wonders
if that new headmaster introduced him to the world, or it was coincidence that they both
ended up in the school together.
Epstein seems to be a fairly smart guy, academic-wise, even without the formal degrees.
But his inclinations and then being adopted by Mossad entirely corrupted his being.
Its very clear now why the British government, American government and the Catholic Church
were stacked with pederasts.
Mossad and their puppet CIA run everything. Edit: You can see the dominoes fall by
following ownership of currency. There is no global power that they wont target.
Chances are few elites will go down with Epstein. However, it is very likely the Blackmail
material changed hands on who controls it. When it comes to the power structure of the
western world, that is a very big deal.
"The Epstein story touches everywhere, discredits American justice, American media, reaches into the White House, perhaps through
numerous occupants and eventually settles in, a continuing mystery, still protected by a controlled media as it leads us to not
one but 20 billionaires, a secret society tied to Epstein, that represents the power of Israel over the governments of the US,
Britain and Canada."
"What is the real story? First of all, sex with children is nothing new in America. Child sex was the norm when the Pilgrims
landed on Plymouth Rock in 1620 and little changed other than it becoming a convenient tool to smear political opponents.
For two centuries, girls as young as 12 were regularly married off, sometimes forcibly, to men as old as 70 while others were
sold into slavery to work in the mills or join the endless hordes serving in America's brothels."

casey @9: That has seemed to be one thing it is being used for, to get Barak to retire again. And both Barak and Dershowitz
seem to be seriously spooked by the Epstein case. But of course you can't take that at face value either. Dershowitz is practically
beshitting himself, the big-shot lawyer, hmm, do we believe that? "I kept my undies on." This guy saved OJ?
On the other hand atacking Barak with it looks sort of opportunistic to me, I don't think it is the reason Epstein got outed
again. That seems to be about some sort of war in the "elites" and spook communities whose details remain obscure, but I expect
we will learn a lot more about it as time goes on.
A good article by Whitney Webb from MintpressNews:
Hidden in Plain Sight: The Shocking Origins of the Jeffrey Epstein Case
...
Years later, Samuel Bronfman's children and grandchildren, their family's ties to the criminal underworld intact, would

...
The significant amount of overlap between Epstein's and Cohn's covert activities in sexual blackmail and their ties
to many of the same powerful individuals and circles of influence strongly suggest that Epstein was one of Cohn's successors
.
As will be shown in the final installment of this report, Epstein is only the latest incarnation of a much older, more
extensive and sophisticated operation that offers a frightening window into how deeply tied the U.S. government is to the modern-day
equivalents of organized crime, making it a racket truly too big to fail.
casey @9: starting to look like a Bibi op to take Barak out
bemildred @14: That has seemed to be one thing it is being used for
Epstein's remaining in jail will make many powerful people nervous. They must be wondering if Epstein will get special
treatment from the intelligence agencies once again , or if Epstein will make a deal to save himself.
What people that matter would dare to publicly object to war with Iran when they know that they could be named by Epstein
as part of a plea bargain (that includes Trump, of course).
Ultimately, it may all turn out to be a farce as the intelligence agencies will likely insist on another sweetheart deal
(or, more likely, that the former sweetheart deal must be honored) . But the timing of Epstein's time in jail seems very advantageous
to Israel's goal to spark a US-Iran war.
Now USA downs an Iranian drone - just as Paul starts a peace initiative. LOL.
Speaking of Epstein, thought some here may find this very long, detailed article of interest. I can't vouch for it but
damn if it doesn't provide background on the folks Epstein has surrounded himself with such as Ghislane Maxwell as well as ties
to Israel and how he likely made a ton of dough -

... Every candidate in the first Democratic “debate” raised a hand in favor of providing free medical
care to illegal border-jumpers. I wonder how that sits with the Americans who now pay
$12,000 a year for health insurance with a $5,000 deductible.
Of course, this policy of
unfettered illegal immigration does not economically favor the sizable demographic of poor
Americans, many of whom are people-of-color. In theory, the border-jumpers are taking
away an awful lot of jobs. But I think the argument there is that 300 years of slavery gives
bonafide US citizens-of-color a pass on manual labor - so it is not against their interests to
ally with the open border advocates - while both groups have an interest in getting any free stuff
the government may offer.
... ... ...
Finally, there is the walking time-bomb known as Jeffrey Epstein, Democratic Party poohbah
and impresario of an underage sex racket featuring the "Lolita Express" airplane service to his
private "Orgy Island" in the Caribbean, with auxiliary party shacks in New York City and the
New Mexico Desert. Rogue reports have been styling Epstein's doings as an international
blackmailing operation associated with the CIA and other Intel outfits, including the UK's MI6
and Israel's Mossad, for the purpose of keeping international bigshots on a short leash. Who
knows?
At the center of it all is former President Bill Clinton, listed twenty-six times on the
Lolita Express's flight manifest -- though the ex-Prez said last week in a statement that it
was only four times. (Consider the source.)
A raft of unsealed documents in the matter has been court-ordered to drop any day, and
power-players all over the world -- especially in our nation's capital and on Wall Street --
are rumored to be chewing their fingernails down to the nubbins as they wait for it.
What a cargo of wickedness is borne by the garbage barge called the Democratic Party as it
chugs out to sea toward a sickening, slightly radioactive orange sunset for what is looking
like its final voyage.
Have been studiously avoiding all things Epstein but it seems metastasising everywhere to the extent it eliminates all from
serving jury duty at any trial.
Consider this: The timing is such that suggests an attempt to 'hole below the waterline' the Clinton machine [Billary is prime
example that the species Homo Sapiens is the only one that is best led by the smallest protrusion below the waistline]. Recent
U.S. history records the Clintons used the DLC (Democratic Leadership Committee) to ascend to the WhiteHouse.
The DLC subsumed
and subverted the existing DNC (Democratic National Committee), replacing it entirely and still holds control over the Democratic
Party itself. I think verification might be obtained by examining the makeup if the Democratic National Finance Committee and
look at the membership of that committee and discern their loyalties.
In whom controls the money, you will find the control of
the party. The re-emergence of the Epstein saga cannot help but expose the Clintons to that limelight and what would follow. This
may be the only method to liberate the Democratic Party before the time removes the actors from the stage. Just my opinion - helpfully
offered.
Obviously Hillary could not use the Epstein case during her campaign since she had her own Anthony Weiner. And too many pictures
of Bill with prostitutes around the net (one is said to be taken at Epstein resort in St James).
"What the Epstein case reveals about the US is that either this country is so poor that it finds completely normal to have dozens,
or rather hundreds, of 15 years old girl going directly from school to an old pervert's apartment 'give a massage' or more for
200 bucks or it wants to impose this kind of society as a model. "
Mina@99
That is it Mina: the problem, however, is not 'poverty' (the USA is very rich in relative terms) but inequality.
Prostitution is the very essence of capitalism: the teenager selling his/her transient sexual attractions; the 'loyal worker'
tugging his forelock and thanking the Boss for 'giving him employment'; the NYTimes or Torstar journalist faithfully recording
the propaganda leaked by the CIA; the politician...etc.
In a system in which everything is for sale why would not a nubile 15 year old sell the only thing that she can sell-in a seller's
market?
The bases of the Epstein scandal are these: Capitalism and Hypocrisy. Capitalism forces people to sell themselves or starve, hypocrisy-of
the sort exemplified in the mass pretense that young women only become sexually attractive after their 18th, 16th or twenty first
birthdays (depending upon jurisdictions). It is hypocrisy that vastly increases the value of these liaisons, thus making it possible
to persuade a man to betray his country rather than have it generally known that he employed a nubile young woman to 'massage'
him.
It is a weird society in which Epstein is widely reviled for his sleazy practices while veterans of the appalling attack on Fallujah-including
the Commanding Officer- are held to be honourable men.
As Robert Burns said "I'd rather give the life to one than be the death of twenty."
Mina @99: What the Epstein case reveals about the US ...
Bevin @114: Prostitution is the very essence of capitalism ...
The Epstein case is not about inequality, prostitution, or capitalism and doesn't "reveal" anything except how corrupt/corrupting
ideologues (in this case, Zionists) are.
The women were lured with the prospect of giving massages and then coerced into sex and groomed for use in an influence operation
- likely with Mossad knowledge and blessing. To blame anyone except those directly involved: Epstein, Ghislane/Mossad is finger-pointing
that benefits the culprits.
A smart minority group that seeks to push a country into illegal wars for their own purposes would anticipate some degree
of backlash. Epstein compromised "people that matter" who might lead a backlash or could be useful to quell it.
The Mega Group sought to safeguard their position in American/Western society against a backlash - exactly what Epstein
said his job was.
Billionaire and former Jeffrey Epstein associate Les Wexner told his employees Monday that he regrets ever crossing paths with
the disgraced pedophile financier, according to
Bloomberg .
Wexner, founder of L Brands Inc. which owns Victoria's Secret, said in an internal email that he " was NEVER aware of the illegal
activity " Epstein is accused of committing. "As you can imagine, this past week I have searched my soul ... reflected ... and regretted
that my path ever crossed his. " said the 81-year-old mogul of Epstein.
After launching a business relationship in the 1980s, Wexner and Epstein formed 'a financial and personal bond that baffled longtime
associates,' according to the
New York Times .
"I think we both possess the skill of seeing patterns," Wexner told Vanity Fair in 2003. "But Jeffrey sees patterns in politics
and financial markets, and I see patterns in lifestyle and fashion trends."
Wexner would go on to open doors for Epstein - who managed "many aspects of his financial life."
By 1995, Epstein was a director of the Wexner Foundation and Wexner Heritage Foundation and president of Wexner's N.A. Property
Inc ., which developed the Ohio town of New Albany, where Wexner lives. Epstein also was involved in Wexner's superyacht, "Limitless,"
attending meetings at the London studios of the firm that designed the vessel. -
Bloomberg
In the email to employees originally reported by the Columus Dispatch , Wexner says that he severed ties with Epstein nearly 12
years ago - after the financier pleaded guilty to a sex crime involving a teenage girl.
"I would never have guessed that a person I employed more than a decade ago could have caused such pain to so many people," Wexner
said in the email. "I would not have continued to work with any individual capable of such egregious, sickening behavior as has been
reported about him."
Yet, Epstein portrayed himself as a way for young models to perform sexual favors in exchange for a backdoor into Victoria's Secret
. According to a former Manhattan-based modeling agent cited by the
New York Post
, " Some of those girls got in. "
"It was still significant cash for a young model doing the catalog," an agent told the Post . "They weren't making hundreds of
thousands but they could make about $5,000 a week modeling for the campaigns or the catalog. Not all the girls sent to him got jobs,
but a lot of them did."
In short, Wexner had an extremely close business relationship with Epstein - who allegedly engaged in sexual favors with girls,
some of whom later worked for Wexner, yet the 81-year-old knew nothing of Epstein's proclivities.
Others have distanced as well, reports Bloomberg .
Others have also sought to distance themselves from Epstein in recent days, including hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin and his
wife Eva Andersson-Dubin.
Andersson-Dubin, a former model who became a physician, previously dated Epstein and continued to socialize with him after
his time in jail. Epstein had invested in Dubin's hedge fund and was also considered a friend. -
Bloomberg
" The Dubins are horrified by the new allegations against Jeffrey Epstein," they said in a statement. " Had they been aware of
the vile and unspeakable conduct described in these new allegations, they would have cut off all ties and certainly never have allowed
their children to be in his presence."
And despite Epstein being a registered sex offender and pedophile, Andersson-Dubin thought he had rehabilitated himself and deserved
a second chance.
"She is mortified that she, like so many others, was deceived by him, and feels terrible for the young women who have been harmed
by his actions," reads their statement.
Former President Bill Clinton similarly 'disavowed' Epstein , claiming on Monday that he "knows nothing about the terrible crimes
Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York."
Clinton also claimed that he's only been on Epstein's recently-sold 'Lolita Express' a total of four times , despite flight logs
and pilot records clearly indicating otherwise.
According to research by investigative journalist Conchita Sarnoff,
Clinton
" was a guest of Epstein's 27 times, " adding "many of those times Clinton had his Secret Service with him and many times he
did not."
And as the New York Times points out, despite Epstein's status as a registered sex offender beginning in 2008, and his 13 month
work-release sweetheart prison stay, many people continued to associate with him.
Powerful female friends served as social guarantors: Peggy Siegal, a gatekeeper for A-list events, included him in movie screenings,
and Dr. Eva Andersson-Dubin, a champion of women's health, maintained a friendship that some felt gave him credibility. Mr. Epstein
put up a website showing Stephen Hawking and other luminaries at a science gathering he had organized.
" If you looked up Jeffrey Epstein online in 2012, you would see what we all saw ," Leon Botstein, the president of Bard College,
said in an interview. He seemed "like an ex-con who had done well on Wall Street," who was close to the Clintons and gave money
to academic pursuits, Dr. Botstein said. That was why, he noted, Bard accepted an unsolicited $50,000 in 2011 for its high schools,
followed later that year and in 2012 by another $75,000 in donations. -
NYT
Now that Epstein is decidedly radioactive, none of his past associates seemingly knew anything - and are horrified at the monster
they never saw coming.
An archived link of the now-discontinued Terra Mar Project website reveals that members of the world's most wealthy families
collectively threw in their support for Ghislaine Maxwell's Terra Mar project, a charity allegedly supporting the health of our
oceans around the world. According to their website:
The TerraMar Project is a nonprofit ocean organization dedicated to building a global community built around our mutual
love of the ocean and the need to protect and conserve the seas. We will use the power of our global community to be the voice
that leads the clarion call for change on how we manage the ocean and the creatures that call it home.
Endorsements at the Bottom of the page came from members of several billionaire families, including:
Sir Richard Branson, David De Rothschild, Francesca von Habsburg, Shepard Fairey, Lord Peter Mandelson, Nick Pritzker, Leon
Koffler, Jonathan Soros, Jacqueline and Mortimer Sackler (Purdue Pharma), Richard Rockefeller, Barry Diller.
Many of these names have been previoiusly named by Pizzagate researchers, including the Sackler family, who held events in
Washington DC attended by Tony Podesta and James Alefantis. Ghislaine Maxwell is particularly interesting because her father,
Robert Maxwell, has been associated with Mossad and MI6.
Fabien, a square-jawed 40-something, beseeched a young policy wonk/socialite crowd at the Kalorama home of writer David
Brock and restaurateur James Alefantis Monday night to open their wallets as "armchair divers" for his new cause. Plant a Fish
launched this month, in time for the original Cousteau's 100th birthday, with Fabien leading Brooklyn schoolchildren in a dive
to seed new oyster beds in the Hudson.
Now what did Earth Echo International do in DC? They organized
UNDERGROUND TOURS OF THE SEWER SYSTEM , meaning that a Rothschild-linked
charity hosted an opening event at the Brock-Alefantis residence for programs hosting underground tours:
Join EarthEcho International and DC Water for a truly behind-the-scenes look at how the nation's capital is combatting its
storm and wastewater pollution problems. Engineer James Wonneberg will take you 100 feet underground to explore Washington,
DC's new stormwater tunnels: over 13 miles of massive tunnels that hold and treat storm and wastewater before it pollutes local
waterways."
"Wow. Just wow." Pizzagate never died, it just got bigger.
I disagree. The past 18 crowd cared very much about themselves. Saying that the young girls knew what he was, is why we have
laws against that kind of thing. Most young people are not smart enough yet to make life decisions, and every single one should
be afforded equal protection as decided by State.
Something interesting search engines will not allow right now. Barr's father resigned as headmaster of Dalton Feb. 4th, 1974.
Epstien got hired as a math teacher in the fall. We need a Way Way back machine here!
There is a great deal of 4D Chess-beating that Epstein is "Trump's revenge against the
DNC" (Hillary) Steele dossier attempted coup, and 'now we'll drain the swamp!' Hoo-ahh!
I find that boast problematic. Trump could not (would not) have ordered Epstein's arrest.
Those who serve the DNC within FBI (CIA-NSA) would have informed Epstein in advance, and no
doubt, bleached Hillary and Bill and Clinton Foundation's servers before the arrest. So the
order didn't come from Trump. And the 'lone prosecutor' and 'honest judge' theory is simply
not possible in that district, where human trafficking, fashion industry and sex slavery is
one of their biggest profit pipelines.
It has to be a DNC Hail Mary. DNC needs to impeach Trump so badly, they've already
committed treason! The 2011 Budget Control Act keeps the lid on Federal spending, but only
until 2021. That's why DNC is desperately trying to seize the reins of power for 2020-2024,
when the budget caps come off, then it's laissez les bon temps roulez! and $5,000
BILLION a year Fed bleedout, at 10% increase every year Open Boarders Green New Steal,
...until USA folds under the sheer grift of the Social Democrats.
That griftfest was actually their plan way back in 2016 with Rodham. But wait! There's
MOAre!
Not once in 80 years has a president who supported Pentagon-MIC-AIPAC **NOT** been
re-elected!
- Kennedy: refused to start a war with Cuba -- assassinated
- Johnson: could not stomach Kissinger-Pol Pot -- gone
- Carter: refused to start a war in Iran -- gone
- George HW Bush: tried to cut Pentagon budget in half after Soviets fell -- gone
Since Roosevelt in 1933, every president who supported Pentagon-MIC-AIPAC got
re-elected!
So Democrats have an APPROACHING ZERO chance of winning in 2020. Biden is their one shot,
and he's a perv peacenik! DNC are using Epstein virus to white-wash Old Joe, and to flog
Trump in a desperate attempt to lure the Single White Female block, after an astounding poll
came out that 69% of Democrat voters are TURNED OFF BY SOCIAL DEMOCRATS and their 'Free
Stuff' and 'Open Borders' Antifa Bolshevism.
2020 will be the End of Days for one Party or the other. Whoever wins will ride the Golden
Chariot of Blowout Spending, but the loser ... the loser gets only a mouthful of sand. DNC's
only chance to survive is to impeach (or assassinate) Trump, by hook or by crook.
Paging Ms. Clinton, please come to the Red Phone! /s
During a Tuesday press conference in New York City, Edwards introduced a woman named Courtney
Wild, who says Epstein began abusing her when she was 14-years-old, according to
Business
Insider
.
Edwards said
during the
press conference that he raised the accusation to challenge the idea that Epstein was a model
citizen while in jail. Edwards
also
said
that
Epstein was in his office most of the day during his 18-month sentence, of
which he served 13 months, and that he had female visitors under the age of 21
.
Edwards said
Epstein
had sexual interactions with the female visitors that constituted abuse
and were
similar in nature to the abuses described in the indictment and charges Epstein
faces
in
court, which are one count of sex trafficking of minors and one count of conspiracy to engage in
sex trafficking of minors. -
Business
Insider
Wild appeared in court on Monday during Epstein's bail hearing, saying "I was sexually abused by
Jeffrey Epstein starting at the age of 14," while standing just feet from the pedophile money
manager.
Meanwhile,
Bloomberg
reveals that
Epstein paid millions of dollars to silence accusers -
including
Wild.
Some of Epstein's civil settlements exceeded $1 million, according to a person with knowledge
of the matter.
Three were for a total of $5.5 million, court records show
. The
total amount of Epstein's civil payments is unknown, but it's likely a small fraction of the
$559 million that prosecutors say Epstein has claimed as his net worth.
...
More than two dozen lawsuits were ultimately resolved in private settlements
after Epstein signed a non-prosecution agreement in 2008 that allowed him and four accomplices
to avoid federal charges. -
Bloomberg
Epstein's attorneys also used
aggressive tactics
with the women, according to
the report - interviewing friends, neighbors and employers in abusive ways. The girls were grilled
about their lives - including criminal records, drug use, and in one case - a history of
abortions.
"Does it give you any, any emotional pain that you aborted three fetuses?" asked Epstein
attorney Mark Luttier. "Wouldn't you agree with me that aborting three fetuses would be far more
traumatic than giving a man a massage in the nude?" he asked.
Meanwhile, Epstein's publicist fed stories to the media "impugning the credibility of the
victims" which suggested that their "allegations of abuse were made solely to extract money."
According to the
New
York Post
, Epstein also approached New York City publicist R. Couri Hay several years ago
to 'beg for help with his image,' allegedly saying "I don't want 'billionaire pervert' to be the
first line of my obituary."
Hay's advice? Go to a mental-health facility for a year, donate to charity, meet the Pope and go
meet with his rabbi. Now that he faces up to 45 years in the slammer, he may also want to engage a
prison
coach
.
Remember, Trump signed his Exec.Order allowing the federal gov't
to confiscate (attainture) the assets of persons who commit
trafficking in persons and pedo' crimes; I don't remember
the specifics.
Confiscating Epstein's and the Clinton's wealth
WILL be GLORIOUS!
Yep, and you know an interesting factoid about that EO that was
signed late Dec 2017? Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google resigned the
next day. Maybe unrelated but there had been no prior
announcement that he was going to.
To prove that Epstein was involved in "trafficking" at his
Virgin Island islands and at his New Mexico ranch, it seems to
me the government would need to secure search warrants and
thoroughly search and inspect these properties. Something that
has not happened to date (as far as I know).
But, yes, under
the law, any property involved in trafficking can be forfeited
to the government. So why not also investigate what was going
on at these places?
Of course to do this the government would also have to
investigate the people who were visiting these places.
I just watched the NBC footage of Epstein and Trump laughing it up
together at Mar-A-Lago in 1992. One take-aways from this video:
Epstein is much thinner (less muscle-bound) than he later
became.
This adds credence to what one of his alleged victims
said - that Epstein was probably a steroid user. This girl noted
that he was real "built up" or "thick" from weight-lifting.
So the guy is calling girls for massages up to three times a
day, and also apparently pumping a lot of iron. When did the guy
have time to be a "hedge fund money manager?" I thought this was
supposed to be some time-consuming job.
Anyway, note the difference in his physique - circa 1992 and
circa 2008.
If he is/was a droid head, this probably affected his
behavior/personality.
Epstein looks like he put on at least 30 pounds. But not of
fat, muscle. Just like Barry Bonds or just like Tiger Woods,
who once was a string bean and then one day he suddenly looked
like an NFL free safety.
So I'd also investigate any
potential steroid dealers in Epstein's life/circle of friends.
"In 2002, Mr. Trump described Mr. Epstein as "a terrific guy." "He's a lot of fun to be
with," Mr. Trump told New York Magazine. "It is even said that he likes beautiful women as
much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side." I wonder how this will play with
Trump's base and the Oh so holy evangelicals. Any comment Senator McConnell ?
"Terrific guy." - Donald J. Trump Alex Acosta, current Labor Secretary, allowed Epstein to
walk. There's more to this pedophile ring. The public demands a complete investigation. Just
don't give it to Congress.
Of course he is a flight risk. Owner of a private jet recently returned from Paris. He could
just fly away to some non extradition country or his private island and say 'see ya later
suckers'. Child pornography was found at his home. He's been free since 2011. What does
anyone think this criminal has been up to? I'm sorry we are just not That stupid.
Full disclosure of all proceedings is only one small part of the 'justice' that must
finally be applied to this creep. No secret deals. That mansion is serious, pricey NYC real
estate. We are talking major, major bucks. Epstein will use that wad to buy the best defense
he can which is his right. But he should not be allowed to buy secrecy.
Treat him like any other perp. Put him in an orange jumpsuit and try him in a public
court. I do not care who his disgusting pals are. No more hiding. Sunlight is the only
disinfectant that can begin to wash away the appalling stain of the Epstein case for the past
decade.
So many "terrific guys" and gals surround trump. He must be overwhelmed by the brilliance of

Pruitt, Gorka, Price, Zinke, DeVos, Duke, Kushner, et al - all fine people, like the white
supremacists in Charlottesville. Not fine to trump: Pres. Obama, Robert Mueller, Sen. McCain,

States, James Comey, Frank Bruni...on and on and on.
@Greg Jones And Ken Starr, who served as an Epstein defense lawyer along with Dershowitz. The
very man who spent millions of taxpayer money publicizing each lurid detail of Clinton's
affair with above legal age of consent Lewinsky was paid well to cover up Epstein's sexual
abuse of underage girls. The epitome of hypocrisy. His affair with Lewinsky wasn't illegal;
his denial of the affair to Congress was, but Starr had a political vendetta under the guise
of "morality". Not that Clinton's role, if any, in this story is known - hopefully the truth
will emerge and he will be either cleared or convicted.
What's so incredibly vile about this is that he got off with a light wrist slap in Florida
and - wait for it - he's still doing it. He is so arrogant that he kept pictures of his
victims to this day. Many thanks to SDNY for pursuing this case. Please, please nail him and
all who participated/enabled him. This sordid case is a metaphor for our Gilded Age II.
I'm surprised the reporting here is so light on the web of friends that Epstein has and
their involvement in the sexual assaults of these girls. Epstein kept a book of contacts-
basically, a 92 page Who's Who of people who attended his parties in Florida and New York and
flew to his island on his private jet. Hollywood actors, financiers, attorneys, a prince,
Trump, Clinton, Alan Dershowitz, among many, many others.
It also kept details of the likes and dislikes of his buddies. It was known that at these
parties that the girls were sent upstairs and guests were brought up by a handler to supply
towels, lotions, etc. This book can be viewed quite easily if you Google it.
Trump indeed is involved and there is an affidavit filed by two women- one the victim of a
brutal rape and beating of a then 13-year-old-girl first by Trump, next by Epstein. It was
all witnessed by another young girl. The affidavit itself is quite horrific. For more
detailed reporting, read the three-part series from the Miami Herald. These journalists kept
this story alive because they believed in these young women. James Patterson also wrote a
book, Filthy Rich, about Epstein and his web of girls.
Many were homeless or from very poor families and were lured in with the promise of money
for school clothes and books.
Little did they know that they were being groomed for rape by Epstein and his dozens and
dozens of high-powered friends.
Again, news that makes you wonder how deep this boys club goes. In his Playboy interview in
1987, Gore Vidal said that the genius of our ruling class is that "they're so brilliant that
no one knows they even exist." He went on to defend himself from accusations that he's a
conspiracy theorist. "'You think they get together at the Bohemian Grove and run the United
States.' Well, they do get together at the Bohemian Grove and do a lot of picking of
Secretaries of State, anyway. But they don't have to conspire. They all think alike." Don't
know what the Bohemian Grove is? Look it up.
Labor trafficking is a horrific crime. Sex trafficking is more horrific whether it is
occurring a strip mall "spa" in Jupiter, Florida or the mansion of some rich white guy in New
York City. How do the men who participate in this not understand that?? Girls are NOT play
toys. Meanwhile back in January, the President of the United States said, "This is an urgent
humanitarian issue. My administration is committed to leveraging every resource we have to
confront this threat, to support the victims and survivors, and to hold traffickers
accountable for their heinous crimes." Except when they are your friends. And you have a
Secretary of Labor who, as a prosecutor, let at least one trafficker off with a hand slap.
@Dennis W The slap on the wrist was administered by Miami's top federal prosecutor Alex
Acosta (today trump's Labor secretary) who ironically is responsible for monitoring human
trafficking.
A man is involved in casino ownership and construction, two of the dirtier businesses--- and
he has a history of going broke and stiffing his contractors. He also owned a modeling agency
and beauty pageant and was known for spontaneously entering the changing rooms between events
and ogling the (sometimes) underage participants. Many women have come forward accusing him
of sexual crimes, including that of rape. This man has an associate that now is under
indictment for sex trafficking charges. Can someone help me connect these dots?
This case conclusively demonstrates that the rule of law does not prevail in America. Law
enforcement and the courts operate two separate justice systems: One for the powerful and
rich and another for the 99% per cent. AG Acosta not have cut the same deal a poor citizen,
charged with just one instance of Epstein'[s conduct. Instead, for a single instance, it
would be 10 years in prison, without an office furlough at 85% per cent (15% reduction in
time for good behavior).
Hopefully Epstein is finished now, and the other powerful persons
sweat. In my view, Acosta should be charged with misprision, US Code Title 18, Part 1,Chapter
1, Section 4 "Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a
court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to
some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be
fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both."
The court has
already found the Epstein Agreement negotiated by Acosta violated the law. So much for the
"rule of law", just words on paper, like the Constitution. us army 1969-1971/california jd
A trove of lewd photographs of girls, discovered in a safe inside the financier
Jeffrey
Epstein's
Manhattan mansion the same day he was arrested, is deepening questions about why federal prosecutors in Miami
had cut a deal that shielded him from federal prosecution in 2008.
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan charged
Mr.
Epstein
on Monday with
sex
trafficking
, dealing an implicit rebuke to that plea agreement, which was overseen by Alexander Acosta, then the United
States attorney in Miami and now President Trump's labor secretary.
The indictment in Manhattan could prompt a moment of reckoning for the Justice Department, which for years has wrestled
with accusations that it mishandled the earlier case and has faced a barrage of litigation from
Mr.
Epstein's accusers
. In February, the Justice Department
opened
its own internal review
into the matter.
Attorney General William P. Barr said on Monday during a trip to South Carolina that he had recused himself from the case
because Mr. Barr's former law firm, Kirkland & Ellis, had represented M

Hosted by Michael Barbaro, produced by Clare Toeniskoetter and Michael Simon Johnson, and edited by Larissa
Anderson
The financier, long accused of sexually assaulting underage girls, has been shielded from federal charges for
decades. Now, in the #MeToo era, a new indictment has revived the case.
... ... ...
Archived Recording (Geoffrey Berman)
Epstein is charged in a two-count indictment -- first, conspiracy to commit sex trafficking, and second,
the substantive crime of sex trafficking of underage girls.
Patricia Mazzei
According to prosecutors, Epstein created this network between 2002 and 2005.
Archived Recording (Geoffrey Berman)
The victims were all underage girls at the time of the alleged conduct.
Patricia Mazzei
In which he invited girls -- underage girls -- into his mansion in New York and in Palm Beach, and he paid
them to give him nude massages.
Archived Recording (Geoffrey Berman)
These massages became increasingly sexual in nature and would typically include one or more sex acts, as
specified in the indictment.
Patricia Mazzei
Those encounters often ended in masturbation, oral sex and, in at least one case, rape.
Archived Recording (Geoffrey Berman)
As alleged, Epstein also paid certain victims to recruit additional girls to be similarly abused.
Patricia Mazzei
And he also paid them to recruit more girls that could come to his house, therefore creating this sort of
ever-expanding network of sex trafficking.
Archived Recording (Geoffrey Berman)
The alleged behavior shocks the conscience. And while the charged conduct is from a number of years ago,
it is still profoundly important to the many alleged victims, now young women. They deserve their day in
court, and we are proud to be standing up for them by bringing this indictment.
Patricia Mazzei
And the prosecutors said that even though some of these encounters happened a long time ago, that some of
this is old, these girls, who are now women, deserve their day in court.
Archived Recording (Geoffrey Berman)
Thank you.
Michael Barbaro
So the prosecutor in New York makes a point of saying, this alleged behavior dates back years and years --
basically to 2002. So why are we just seeing these charges today?
Patricia Mazzei
That's the key question, Michael. Because what is stunning about this case when you listen to the U.S.
attorney in New York on Monday is that it sounded so familiar to allegations made against Jeffrey Epstein in
Florida more than a decade ago. In that case, the girls in Florida did not get their day in court. But the
story of how the Florida case against Epstein unraveled is one of the reasons why we are here today talking
about this case against him in New York.
Michael Barbaro
So what exactly is the story of what happened in Florida?
Patricia Mazzei
The story begins in 2005 when a girl and her parents go to the police in Palm Beach and tell them that she
has been molested by Epstein and paid for it. And the police start investigating. And what they find is not
just one girl, but many girls with stories about being molested by Epstein. And some girls just lead to more
girls. And so they wind up with what they think is a very big case on their hands. They take it to the state
attorney, but, eventually, the police feel like Epstein might not get as harsh of a charge as they would
like, given the number of victims that they have seen. And concerned about that, they take the case to the
F.B.I. and say, help us. We think there is a big case here.
Michael Barbaro
And why do the local police have that suspicion, that Epstein will not be appropriately charged? What
exactly did they fear?
Patricia Mazzei
They become anxious that either because of Epstein's wealth or name in the community or the fact that he
didn't have a criminal history, that he just might not be charged as strongly as they think he should be
charged. For example, that instead of some sort of sex abuse charge, he might end up with something like
soliciting prostitution that would elicit a less harsh penalty.
Michael Barbaro
So what does the F.B.I. do when the police bring this case to them?
Patricia Mazzei
The F.B.I. starts investigating and finds more victims and victims corroborating the stories that the police
had found. Stories about massages and nude massages and payment for these massages that ended up in various
sex acts and a web of recruitment where one girl would be paid by Epstein and his associates to bring in
more girls to his Palm Beach house for these massages. And, eventually, the U.S. attorney's office in Miami,
which, at the time, was run by a man named Alex Acosta, drafts a 53-page indictment against Epstein.
Michael Barbaro
And what does this indictment say?
Patricia Mazzei
The indictment lays out these allegations of sex trafficking against minors and carries a potential
punishment of up to life in prison.
Michael Barbaro
It's a serious indictment.
Patricia Mazzei
Yeah, it was pretty thorough.
Michael Barbaro
And so what happens?
Patricia Mazzei
So weeks go by and then months go by. And finally, in 2008, the victims learn that there will be no federal
criminal indictment against Epstein. Unbeknown to the victims, behind the scenes, Epstein and his
high-powered defense lawyers had negotiated with federal prosecutors so that they would not charge him in
federal court. They negotiated what is called a non-prosecution agreement. And so in the end, Epstein
pleaded guilty to a single count of soliciting prostitution in state court. He had to register as a sex
offender. He had to pay financial restitution to some of his victims. And he got 18 months in county jail,
in which he could leave six days a week to go to work.
Michael Barbaro
Leave prison six days a week -- just kind of walk out of jail and go to work?
Patricia Mazzei
Yeah, it was an extraordinary arrangement. It raised eyebrows even at the time, but the prosecutor said it
was how they were going to guarantee that Epstein served some time in jail and that he register as a sex
offender, which they viewed as important to help the community around him.
Michael Barbaro
So the local police brought this case originally to the F.B.I. because they were worried that the state
attorney would be rolled over by Epstein -- by his wealth, by all his connections, and his fancy lawyers --
and that he would get a sweetheart deal.
Patricia Mazzei
Prosecutors would tell you that they did their best, and that meant sending Epstein to jail. But, in the
end, he faced a prostitution charge in state court and not a sex trafficking charge in federal court. And
that's exactly what the Palm Beach police worried could happen at the start of the case.
Michael Barbaro
But with the F.B.I. and the federal prosecutors.
Patricia Mazzei
Right -- the people who they had turned to for help.
Michael Barbaro
Pati, you said that this was unknown to the victims. Why would that be?
Patricia Mazzei
The victims were not given a chance to speak up against this agreement before it was signed. It was
essentially just negotiated between Epstein's attorneys and the prosecution. And so the victims didn't find
out until after the fact and after Epstein had already agreed to the plea deal.
Michael Barbaro
And what's the reaction from the victims who have been cut out of this plea agreement and are now learning
that he's going to be facing an unusually light sentence?
Patricia Mazzei
The victims are outraged. And as soon as they find out about this non-prosecution deal in 2008, they go to
court asking for the agreement to be nullified -- for them to get their day in court. And this argument turns
into years of legal battles over what was negotiated in secret that the victims did not know about.
Michael Barbaro
And what's going on with Epstein during this time -- as this battle over the plea agreement is playing out in
courts?
Patricia Mazzei
Epstein gets out of jail about five months early. He reportedly has a party to celebrate his return to
society. And he has to register as a sex offender. But, other than that, he basically goes back to his old
life. He had his lavish lifestyle that he continued -- traveling between his properties in New York and Palm
Beach and the Virgin Islands. And the case kind of receded from public view for years, until President Trump
asks Alex Acosta, the former top prosecutor in Miami who reached the secret deal not to indict Epstein with
federal charges, to be his labor secretary.
... ... ...
Archived Recording
You are aware that Mr. Epstein served that 13 months. He was allowed out during the day, and he had to
sleep at a county jail, but he was basically allowed to move and go around the community and do whatever
he wants. And then that became a subject of significant criticism.
Archived Recording (Alexander Acosta)
And I am on record condemning that, and I think that was awful.
Patricia Mazzei
Despite those questions, Acosta gets confirmed by the Senate and becomes the labor secretary, which he still
is now. But The Miami Herald, his hometown paper, decides that it's going to dig even deeper into the
Epstein case and see what happened, especially now that not only is Acosta the labor secretary, but that the
#MeToo movement has happened. And that, perhaps, these victims, who are now young women, might be willing to
talk publicly for the first time.
Michael Barbaro
And what does The Herald find?
Archived Recording
The Herald is reporting that Acosta gave a sweetheart deal to a wealthy man accused of sex crimes,
including sexually abusing underage girls.
Patricia Mazzei
The Herald's investigation, which was published in late 2018, found a trove of documents showing how the
secret non-prosecution agreement was negotiated.
Archived Recording
The paper found that as a U.S. attorney in Florida in 2007, Acosta and another federal prosecutor struck
a plea deal with Epstein's legal team.
Patricia Mazzei
And the documents show Epstein's defense lawyers being chummy with prosecutors on a first-name basis, while
the victims didn't know anything about what was going on.
Archived Recording
I was young. I was scared. I knew these people were powerful. I didn't know what would happen if I said
no. I didn't know what would happen if I reported them. That 16-year-old girl just let it happen.
Patricia Mazzei
In addition to that, The Herald finds more victims, and victims who are going on the record for the first
time now that they're adults.
Archived Recording
It takes a long time to start the healing process. I mean, I will never heal. There are pieces for me
that can never be put back together.
Patricia Mazzei
And the combination of the behind-the-scenes communications about this agreement and the additional victims
and the victims putting a face and details to these allegations starts to build new public pressure for
something to be done in the case. And it's not long after that Miami Herald report that something else
happens. That lawsuit that the victims in Florida had filed seeking to invalidate the secret non-prosecution
agreement, a judge finally issues a ruling. And he rules in the women's favor. He says the prosecutors made
a mistake in not letting them know that this was being negotiated.
Michael Barbaro
And by prosecutors, you mean Alex Acosta, who is now the United States labor secretary.
Patricia Mazzei
That's correct. The judge ruled that Acosta and his office violated the victims' rights by not letting them
know about this secret deal that they had negotiated with Epstein. And that's where everything was until we
got to Monday in New York.
Michael Barbaro
Is that what led the U.S. attorney in New York to bring these charges on Monday?
Patricia Mazzei
We don't know, exactly. That case is still pending in Florida. What we do know is that the prosecutor in New
York apparently found a new victim in his jurisdiction. And that seems to be a primary driver in his
decision to pursue this case now. And it's possible for him to also draw in some of the allegations from
Florida into his case. We know that he went out of his way to say on Monday that the non-prosecution
agreement in Florida does not apply to them in New York. But it is key to note that they have found a victim
there, and so that gives a new dimension to their findings.
Michael Barbaro
So it's possible that these girls, now women, in Florida, who alleged that Jeffrey Epstein had done these
things to them and who were kind of boxed out of this non-prosecution agreement, that they may be drawn into
this case and have their day in court here in New York.
Patricia Mazzei
Possibly. We're going to have to wait and see, given this sort of tricky dynamic between having somebody in
the Justice Department in New York signing off on a new case that had been sort of closed and done by
somebody in the Justice Department in Miami.
Michael Barbaro
It seems like the U.S. attorney in New York is saying something about how the case was handled in Florida.
Patricia Mazzei
It sounded like the U.S. attorney in New York was implying that this case maybe wasn't handled so well the
first time around, either by his predecessors in New York or by his colleagues in Florida. And that now, he
has another shot. They get a do-over here, and they plan to take it. And they have a chance to make things
right for all these victims after all these years.
Michael Barbaro
Pati, you've been covering this case as a reporter in Florida for years. What do you make of these latest
developments?
Patricia Mazzei
To me, it's an illustration of how society has changed in the time since this case first came up and now. I
think between the #MeToo movement that has exposed some very powerful men and their behavior towards women,
I think some of society's impatience now with, perhaps, wealthy people having a bigger say in the criminal
justice system than people who don't have money. And it's also just interesting that the charge Epstein
faced was for soliciting prostitution.
Michael Barbaro
Right. I'm so struck by the fact that the resolution of that first Florida case was a prostitution charge,
which meant that prosecutors there essentially labeled a minor, who was allegedly paid for sex by Jeffrey
Epstein, as a prostitute, not a victim.
Patricia Mazzei
Actually, the former police chief in Palm Beach, whose department first started investigating this, has said
that what he would really like to see here, in addition to an apology to the victims, who did not get what
he would consider timely justice, he would like to see lawmakers keep that from happening again. He would
like to make it impossible for prosecutors to treat minors like prostitutes in future cases like this one,
to prevent what he considers was a miscarriage of justice.
Michael Barbaro
Pati, where is Jeffrey Epstein right now?
Patricia Mazzei
He is in jail in New York -- and not the kind of jail where you could leave every day to go to work like he
was in Florida. And he faces the prospect of up to 45 years in prison if this case moves forward and he's
found guilty.
Michael Barbaro
Pati, thank you very much.
Patricia Mazzei
Thank you, Michael.
Michael Barbaro
On Monday, federal investigators said they had found hundreds of photographs of nude and partially nude
young women and girls inside Jeffrey Epstein's New York home. After reviewing the photos, prosecutors said
that Epstein, quote, "is not reformed. He is not chastened. He is not repentant. Rather, he is a continuing
danger to the community." Shortly after, Epstein pleaded not guilty in federal court. Later on Monday,
Attorney General Bill Barr was asked about how Alex Acosta, the former U.S. attorney in Florida and now the
president's secretary of labor, had handled the original Epstein case in Florida. Barr declined to comment.
We'll be right back. Here's what else you need to know today. In a highly unusual move, the government
lawyers defending the president's efforts to ask about citizenship on the 2020 census have left the case,
apparently in protest. The lawyers had been asked to defend the question despite a recent ruling by the
Supreme Court that found that there was no legal basis for including the question. And in Sudan, military
leaders and protesters have reached an unexpected agreement to share power after the military carried out a
deadly crackdown on the protesters. Under the agreement, an army general will run Sudan for nearly two
years, followed by a civilian leader for the next year and a half. The plan offers the possibility of an
eventual transition to democracy after 30 years of dictatorship. That's it for "The Daily." I'm Michael
Barbaro. See you tomorrow.

Eric Holland, the deputy assistant secretary of labor for public affairs, said on Monday that Mr. Acosta had no comment.
The House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, said late Monday night that
Mr.
Acosta should resign because of the "unconscionable agreement"
that he made with Mr. Epstein in 2008.
Late on Tuesday morning, Mr. Acosta, writing on Twitter, defended his actions a decade ago. With the evidence available at
the time, he said, his prosecutors had insisted Mr. Epstein go to jail and register as a sex offender. He called the
financier's crimes "horrific."
"Now that new evidence and additional testimony is available, the N.Y. prosecution offers an important opportunity to more
fully bring him to justice," he wrote.
With the evidence available more than a decade ago, federal prosecutors insisted that Epstein go to jail,
register as a sex offender and put the world on notice that he was a sexual predator.
Accusations of sexual predation have dogged Mr. Epstein for decades. Until his arrest on Saturday, his case had been held
up as a prime example of how insulated, powerful men can escape accountability.
Mr. Epstein
, a hedge fund manager, avoided the possibility of a lengthy prison sentence, largely because of a secret
agreement his lawyers struck with federal prosecutors in 2008. His social circle is filled with the rich and famous,
including former President Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew of Britain.
Mr. Clinton's office said in a statement on Monday that he knows nothing about "the terrible crimes" connected to Mr.
Epstein.
In 2002, Mr. Trump described Mr. Epstein as "a terrific guy," telling
New
York Magazine
, "It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger
side."
As he unsealed an indictment charging Mr. Epstein with sex trafficking on Monday, the United States attorney in Manhattan,
Geoffrey S. Berman, made an appeal to other women who may have been abused by him to come forward.
"They deserve their day in court and we are proud to stand up for them by bringing this indictment," Mr. Berman said.
He declined to say why his office decided to pursue charges against Mr. Epstein now, since federal prosecutors knew about
his potential crimes in New York a decade ago. Mr. Berman said his office had been "assisted by some excellent
investigative journalists," an apparent reference to The
Miami
Herald's reporting from November
.
The indictment said that Mr. Epstein and his employees engaged in a sex-trafficking scheme, bringing dozens of vulnerable
girls, some as young as 14, to his Upper East Side mansion and to his palatial compound in Palm Beach, Fla., between 2002
and 2005.
Mr. Epstein, 66, then engaged in sex acts with the young women during naked massage sessions, paying them hundreds of
dollars in cash, prosecutors said. He also asked some of the girls to recruit other girls, many of whom prosecutors say
were underage, and paid them for bringing in new victims, the indictment said.
"This conduct, as alleged, went on for years and involved dozens of young girls, some as young as 14," Mr. Berman said.
"The alleged behavior shocks the conscience."
Mr. Epstein is charged with sex trafficking and sex trafficking conspiracy, and faces a combined maximum sentence of up to
45 years in prison if convicted.
Mr. Epstein's lawyer, Reid Weingarten, said the allegations in the indictment had already been settled in 2008. "To us this
indictment is essentially a do-over," he said. "This is old stuff. This is ancient stuff."
Mr. Epstein, looking disheveled in a navy blue jumpsuit, pleaded not guilty. He stared silently ahead as prosecutors
outlined the charges, never glancing at the packed courtroom behind him. He is expected back in court on Thursday.
The discovery of the photo trove was detailed by prosecutors as they argued against allowing Mr. Epstein to be freed on
bail. His wealth and means -- including six homes and two private jets -- made him a significant flight risk, they said.
Secretary Acosta, now calling Epstein's crimes 'horrific", but let Epstein plead to a charge of prostitution, carrying a much
lesser sentence. Epstein was allowed to leave jail 6 days a week for 12 hours a day. No child of the age of 14 can be a
prostitute, no matter if money was exchanged for sex. These girls were raped and abused. Secretary Acosta needs to step down
immediately. No one can give an incredibly generous plea deal to a remorseless child molester and still expect to hold the
public's trust. He failed Jeffrey Epstein's victims. He failed the people of South Florida. He cannot continue to serve. Why is
every single republican such a hypocrite?
So, if they were able to go back into a previously settled case and retry Bill Cosby, who is now in jail, then they should be
able to do the same to Mr. Epstein. Bill Cosby was also once 'untouchable' and received some dubious legal deals, but , in the
end, he got his just desserts. And even now, some question the legality of how Mr. Cosby was retried and subsequently received
jail time. If it was good for Mr. Cosby, who was also rich and influential, then it should be good for Mr. Epstein. He should
also finally face his long overdue day of reckoning.
Thank goodness for brave reporters. But we have all protected the Epsteins of the world for too long. We all protect the
Epsteins of the world when we show that we value riches and status over all else. Our churches, our legal system, our
colleges, our very laws, do more to protect the rich than the vulnerable. Someone without status in our country can suffer
more for public urination than Epstein has so far for his horrific crimes. The way we, as a culture, value status above all
else, paves the way for the Epsteins of the world to thrive. We can clutch our pearls all we want to, but when we clamor for
admission to an elite school, buy houses and cars we can't afford, buy knockoff designer goods we know were made by foreign
children, because we are desperate to show that we have status, we create a culture where status is the only protection; we
show that we value perceived status over integrity, financial solvency, decency, justice, peace, even over the safety of our
children. The fact that status is our number one value lay the path for Trump to be elected. The fake billionaire promised to
restore status to those who felt that the little they had had been robbed from them by minorities, women, gays. And while many
of us are horrified with the results, everything we do that shows that we, too, value perceived status over anything else,
makes us part of this problem. If we did not adore the rich and powerful, they would not have so much power.

I've more than a few questions; but my main one is why we continue to put up with a government that has shielded this
pedophile, headed by a President accused of sexual assault himself? Trump & Acosta would resign if there were a shred of
decency in either of them. Putting up with their leadership is unequivocally abusive to over half of the population of the
United States.
If you can afford Epstein's lawyers his sentence is the kind of outcome you expect. His lawyers dictated to Acosta the
sentence they would accept. Acosta was rewarded and part of the service was to insure everything was kept quiet all those
years.
The Epstein saga reminds me of that long-running joke (and movie) The Aristocrats. A joke so filthy and disgusting that it's
been told, retold and embellished for decades. What's that saying about many a truth told in jest? Epstein shows there's moral
debauchery that comes with obscene wealth. The 1 per cent have lost their ethical bearings. Good journalism has shined some
antiseptic light on this perversion of justice. Well done.

I have no confidence in the validity of this investigation that appears to me to be a retaliation against Democrats by the
political Trump Justice Department. The motive is glaringly apparent. Aside from the political motivations of this case, the
Press conference was clearly an attempt at tampering with the potential Jury pool, national in scope.
Let no one be above the law. Victims need to have their day in court. Search his other homes and hide-outs, and don't let him
post bail or plea out. Sordid to say the least. I hope there is justice.
@Richard This is not a Democratic or Republican issue... in spite of many political comments to this article. This is about
wealthy, well-connected men and boys who are sexual predators with perverse predilections for girls and young women. This is
about wealthy and well-connected predators who, when caught, may never face trial... and who, if tried and found guilty, are
handled with kid gloves, usually receiving inappropriately weak sentences.

They really threw the book at him the first time, didn't they? Are you in jail, and able to leave six days a week. It's almost
as if they didn't see it as a serious offense, except for the year in jail and being able to leave six days a week. I wonder
if the girls he molested back then are able to work six days a week.
He was allowed to leave the Palm Beach County jail 6 days a week to work????? What kind of sentence is that????? He is
obviously not just a predator but a very bold and unconcerned one, to have kept all this evidence showing apparently under-age
girls in his Manhattan home. When you have that much money, and you have gotten away with such filth and corruption your
entire life, you think that you will always be able to buy your way out of trouble. And most of these kinds of people do. I do
hope that this time he pays dearly for what he has done. It is hard to imagine what kind of a mind preys on children like
this.

agreed not to bring federal charges against Mr. Epstein or any of his potential co-conspirators, court papers show..." Who
comes to an agreement with a defendant promising not to charge other "potential" co-conspirators? Who else was Acosta
protecting??? This stunk to high heaven then and stinks now.
As a sex trafficking survivor and advocate for others caught up in the traps set for us (sex trafficking is sexual activity
instigated through fraud, force, and/or coercion) most of us would point to the privileged and fraudulent deal Epstein got as
a reason to logically have zero trust in the Lord and social process. This action taken by New York Federal Prosecutors
against Epstein challenges our logical distrust. I want to believe in this new day. The trick Epstein and his lawyers used was
to twist the narrative - fraudulently procured women engaged in an act of prostitution - viola - the act of prostitution (even
through fraud my friends) has socially conferd the identity of prostitute.... And could these young corrupt prostitutes be
seen as lilly white witnesses for the prosecution? This twisted reframing of identity for the exploitation of Epstein legal
team was yet another crime. Then, third hit was not informing victims - how was this justice. I want to believe.
This case is local to me, live in Palm Beach, and one I've followed from day 1. The case and the treatment of Epstein never
made sense. Obviously the Feds were in charge of the deal that was brokered, but local officials played a part as well. Former
Palm Beach State Attorney Krischer signed off on this deal. PBSO sheriff Bradshaw signed off on the sweetheart jail deal. Both
of these offices need to be investigated as well.

As an attorney, it is misleading to the public to suggest that one can be prosecuted twice for the same crime. First, there is
the issue of the scope of the Florida disposition. Rest assured Epstein's attorneys will focus on cramming all the "new"
evidence into the Florida package. Second, Berman will have to prove the "new" evidence post-dates the Florida matters. Third
-probably most critical- Berman must convince the court that probable cause to look into Epstein's alleged behavior arose from
something OTHER than the mere fact of the Florida matter.
I grew up in NYC in the 60's. My sister brother and myself all went to the school Birch Wathen. I have nothing but the fondest
memories of my early school years. It sickens and saddens me that a place where so many children received an amazing education
devolved to a place where hundreds or thousands of young girls were victimized and sexually abused. 9 east 71st St use to be a
place of learning and love. I hope the building in its next incarnation will returns to an institution that will teach and
nurture children.
So the Justice Department gets a 'do-over' after bungling their first try over a decade ago. A slap on the wrist was
administered to this predator who has continued to prey on young women. Let's see if money, power and connections once again
win the day and put him back on the street. One would think justice will certainly prevail, but look at all the people who are
not even prosecuted due to influence and wealth.
My only concern with the MeToo movement is our loss of the presumption of innocence. It's fundamental to our judicial system.
But if he IS found guilty -- AFTER due process -- then he should be punished to the full extent of the law. These sorts of
crimes are far too common and no one should be given a plea bargain, no matter how far up it reaches.
Epstein and his wealthy powerful covert treated girls as disposable playthings to be passed around and used up, with no
concern for their autonomy or humanity. Even when caught, he had enough connections that he served virtually no time, and his
case was sealed. And the guy that brokered the deal, Acosta, was rewarded mightily for that. Is there any wonder we have such
and abysmal record of abuse of females and femicide? Is it any wonder that rape kits go untested? That our full health care s
up for debate and decided by panels made up of men alone, with no female input? These abusers protect each other and continue
to keep females under their thumbs because they can and because they themselves benefit from female oppression.
I was pretty impressed by both the NYC prosecutor and the FBI during this morning's press conference. They seemed firmly in
the corner of the young women who were sexually abused by doing a good job explaining why this was criminal abuse by Epstein,
not choice on the part of the victims. The press conference participants also made a point of showing a display with Epstein's
photo and an FBI contact number for other victims to call. The FBI went so far as to explain what buttons to push when victims
called in. I would like to see wide dissemination of Epstein's photo and the FBI number in the press so that victims know
where to call to lodge their complaints
Clinton was involved is not he? So was it Clinton who advised Mueller to list Epstein as an
intelligence asset.

@Richard This is not a Democratic or Republican issue... in spite of many political comments
to this article. This is about wealthy, well-connected men and boys who are sexual predators
with perverse predilections for girls and young women. This is about wealthy and
well-connected predators who, when caught, may never face trial... and who, if tried and
found guilty, are handled with kid gloves, usually receiving inappropriately weak sentences.

When you have that much money, and you have gotten away with such filth and corruption your

"Under the agreement, Mr. Epstein pleaded guilty to state prostitution charges and spent
about a year in a Palm Beach jail. He was permitted to leave the facility six days a week for
12 hours a day to work." "The agreement was negotiated in part by Alexander Acosta, a former
federal prosecutor who is now President Trump's secretary of labor." As Labor Secretary,
Acosta is responsible for monitoring human trafficking. Trump placed the fox Acosta in charge
of the henhouse. Trump needs to be held accountable, for his links to Epstein and Acosta, and
we need to know what kind to backroom deals were made. Unfortunately we have a two tiered
justice system, one for the super wealthy and one for the rest.

So much truly disgusting, criminal, evil behavior. Acosta catered to a pedophile while he
threw the child victims under the bus. He should be behind bars as an accomplice. A president
whose "modeling" agency served as a model for Epstein's "modeling" agency. A president
who praised Epstein and winked at his penchant for girls "on the young side." Lawyers,
including Alan Dershowitz, who ran interference for Epstein so that he was free to molest so
many other children. Dershowitz stands accused, in civil suits, of being a party to the
horrors. He claims he's innocent. Whether or not he committed a felony, he committed a crime
against morality by helping to keep Epstein on the prowl for years. As yet unnamed big shots
who wallowed in the swamp with Epstein and also belong behind bars. Anyone and everyone
associated with Epstein in his felonies needs to be named and exposed to the light of day,
whoever they are. They ALL deserve punishment and universal condemnation.
Again, news that makes you wonder how deep this boys club goes. In his Playboy interview in
1987, Gore Vidal said that the genius of our ruling class is that "they're so brilliant that
no one knows they even exist." He went on to defend himself from accusations that he's a
conspiracy theorist. "'You think they get together at the Bohemian Grove and run the United
States.' Well, they do get together at the Bohemian Grove and do a lot of picking of
Secretaries of State, anyway. But they don't have to conspire. They all think alike." Don't
know what the Bohemian Grove is? Look it up.
I told my 14 yr old daughter what this monster has been accused of and she looked like she

protect our daughters!!!
@MS "In a particularly unusual provision of that agreement, Acosta agreed that prosecutors
would “not institute any criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators of
Epstein” and would “suspend” the grand jury investigation. That provision
suggests that Epstein was seeking to protect others beyond himself." This stinks! Acosta
should be disbarred and indicted as an accomplice. Justice was not served here!

Yes, great injustices occur in this country on a daily basis, now we'll have to watch and see
how many scums will be revealed... Full blown banana republic, where sexual predators flying
all over the world on their private jets, living in a most exclusive mansions in NYC, sailing
on their luxury yachts and avoiding justice for decades with non prosecution deal constructed
in hush-hush dark rooms of shadow justice. I wonder how Barr's DOJ will twist itself in
pretzels to include the question of citizenship on 2020 census. Nothing will shock me
anymore.
Secretary Acosta, now calling Epstein's crimes 'horrific", but let Epstein plead to a charge
of prostitution, carrying a much lesser sentence. Epstein was allowed to leave jail 6 days a
week for 12 hours a day. No child of the age of 14 can be a prostitute, no matter if money
was exchanged for sex. These girls were raped and abused. Secretary Acosta needs to step down
immediately. No one can give an incredibly generous plea deal to a remorseless child molester
and still expect to hold the public’s trust. He failed Jeffrey Epstein’s victims.
He failed the people of South Florida. He cannot continue to serve. Why is every single
republican such a hypocrite?
Thank goodness for brave reporters. But we have all protected the Epsteins of the world for
too long. We all protect the Epsteins of the world when we show that we value riches and
status over all else. Our churches, our legal system, our colleges, our very laws, do more to
protect the rich than the vulnerable. Someone without status in our country can suffer more
for public urination than Epstein has so far for his horrific crimes. The way we, as a
culture, value status above all else, paves the way for the Epsteins of the world to thrive.
We can clutch our pearls all we want to, but when we clamor for admission to an elite school,
buy houses and cars we can't afford, buy knockoff designer goods we know were made by foreign
children, because we are desperate to show that we have status, we create a culture where
status is the only protection; we show that we value perceived status over integrity,
financial solvency, decency, justice, peace, even over the safety of our children. The fact
that status is our number one value lay the path for Trump to be elected. The fake
billionaire promised to restore status to those who felt that the little they had had been
robbed from them by minorities, women, gays. And while many of us are horrified with the
results, everything we do that shows that we, too, value perceived status over anything else,
makes us part of this problem. If we did not adore the rich and powerful, they would not have
so much power.
I’m a lifelong cynic. Poor folks, minority folks and women never get full justice.
Harvey Weinstein paid up but was there justice? Was there full restitution? I’m saying
here that the defendant—white, male, wealthy and a friend of the president—walks.
Because money talks. I dare justice to prove me wrong. Just once. These girls had mothers.
These girls had a future. Once upon a time.
@Paul Kramer you are citing textbook law but this is not a textbook case. A federal judge
ruled the 2008 deal was illegal. The NY prosecutors are NOT saying they are limited to
post-2008; stuff they are saying that deal only binds the Southern District of Florida. That
could easily be a reference to the illegality finding.
The Prosecutors in Florida may say they don't see a reason to recharge after that finding
of illegality, but since the agreement has no force or effect the NY feds could conclude
otherwise. Especially because there was always criminal conduct with SDNY and they should not
be bound by an illegal deal entered into by prosecutors elsewhere.
The Epstein saga reminds me of that long-running joke (and movie) The Aristocrats. A joke so
filthy and disgusting that it's been told, retold and embellished for decades. What's that
saying about many a truth told in jest? Epstein shows there's moral debauchery that comes
with obscene wealth. The 1 per cent have lost their ethical bearings. Good journalism has
shined some antiseptic light on this perversion of justice. Well done.
@Paul Kramer In case you didn't read the article, these are entirely New York charges. No
Florida here. He also had porn of young girls and that is also something very bad for a
registered sex offender. You seriously underestimate the league that these prosecutors have
been playing in.
News reports say that in the Florida case co-conspirators were kept secret and not charged.
Hopefully this list becomes public soon. Could there be an orange colored dude currently in
Washington on that list?
My 13-year-old just read the article in The York Times. Here are her questions: “Mommy,
is it true our president was accused of raping a teenager?” “Mommy, why would a
lawyer allow Jeff Epstein who hurt teen girls to go to work everyday instead of being in
jail?” “Mommy, what’s masturbation and sex toys?” “Mommy, what
happens to the photos of naked girls? Do they know he has them? Do their parents and friends
know? You said once a photo is on-line, it can be on other people’s computers forever.
What’s going to happen to them?” “Mommy, why would this man’s
girlfriend help him find girls to give him naked massages?” Innocent Children! This man
corrupted the innocence of children—those he directly abused—and every child
exposed to his disgusting perversions via the news. I want justice now, as does every single
adult who cares about our youth!
@Elin Minkoff said "It is hard to imagine what kind of a mind preys on children like this." A

sound just like a man who has been a public servant since January 20, 2017?

"Seeking to detain" -- does that mean that they are considering the possibility that this man
should be let out on bail AGAIN. Poor and minority Americans languish in the mass
incarceration-industrial-complex for minor infractions for years, or for not having the
ability to pay fines or bail, but this serial pedophile might go free again because he has
money? There should be no chance that this creep receives a "get out of jail free" card
again, unless we want to highlight to the world -- over and over -- how thoroughly corrupt
and morally bankrupt our system of justice is in America.
Epstein didn't get his sweetheart deal in 2008 because he is one of those "insulated,
powerful men [who] can escape accountability." He got it because he has information, damning
information, about a slew of other powerful men, who then intervened to protect him. The US
attorney for the SDNY has unwittingly opened a can of doo-doo which will either be quickly
closed again with some clever lawyering and strained legalistic parsing or, if not, will
reveal a dark underbelly at the highest ranks of society that I think even those calling for
Epstein's scalp might wish had never been exposed.
That he would still be in possession of child pornography illustrates just how insulated and
safe he felt in his position. And why wouldn't he? Protected on all sides by powerful
political and financial connections. As E.J. Dionne said in his column today, we are in the
Age of Impunity. Well, maybe no more for this arrogant perverted abuser. Next up, Acosta's
day of reckoning. Noted in a different publication is his accomplice for over a decade, a
woman, Ghislaine Maxwell, who facilitated many of the girls' victimization. Not sure why she
is not mentioned in this article.
@Dennis W This case was not "bungled." The prosecutor made a deal behind closed doors, the
terms of which we are not privy to. It is not surprise to find this slimeball Acosta working
in te Trump administration. There was a quid pro quo we do not yet know about, and there were
co-conspirators not charged, also powerful, wealthy individuals. There is an entire iceberg
beneath this dirty tip.

In 2008, billionaire asset manager Jeffrey Epstein's lawyers negotiated a very favorable
plea bargain in Florida, under which he served a mere 13 months in jail -- in his own private
wing, with 12 hours of daily "work release" -- on a single charge of soliciting prostitution
from a minor (the FBI had identified 40 alleged victims of sexual predation on his part).
Epstein's in jail again, this time in New York, on charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy
to traffic minors for sex. Again, prosecutors allege at least 40 victims.
A prospective 41st casualty of the case, perhaps not an undeserving one, is Alexander
Acosta. As US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Acosta negotiated that sweetheart
2008 plea agreement. Now he faces calls for his resignation as US Secretary of Labor.
How did the plea agreement come about? For an easy explanation, look to a (supposed)
exchange between F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway in the 1920s:
Fitzgerald: The rich are different from you and me.
Hemingway: Yes, they have more money.
More money buys more formidable lawyers (in Epstein's case, Alan Dershowitz and Ken Starr).
More money usually means friends with more money, and with the influence that goes with having
more money. It's just a fact of life that more money sometimes means getting away with -- or at
least getting off easier for -- things would put you or me in jail for a long, long time.
But another possibility rears its ugly head. In an article for The Daily Beast,
investigative journalist Vicky Ward quotes a former senior White House official, in turn
quoting Acosta's response to questions about Epstein during his interview with President Donald
Trump's transition team:
"I was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to leave it alone."
Yes, we're getting that quote at third hand. Unfortunately, yes, it sounds plausible.
Suppose you were a wealthy and influential man with wealthy and influential friends -- not
just celebrities, but business moguls and politicians -- from around the globe. Suppose you held wild sex parties on your private island and invited those wealthy and
influential friends, even ferrying some of them to the island on your personal Boeing 727
airliner.
Suppose those wild sex parties included the presence, voluntary or coerced, of young
(perhaps illegally so) women.
That's pretty good extortion material, isn't it? Now suppose a government intelligence agency offered to protect you from prosecution for
your escapades -- perhaps by leaning on a federal prosecutor to make the matter go away with
minimal punishment -- in return for that extortion material?
Is that how things happened? Your guess is as good as mine. But if so, it would be far from
the first time that innocent men, women and children have been sacrificed to the false idol of
"national security."
Since World War Two, the United States has built itself into a "national security state"
which recognizes no ethical or legal constraints. It's doesn't exist to protect the American
public. It exists to protect itself. And, too often, it protects the predators among us.

boys:
For decades, the US and UK governments knew about Epstein and Maxwell's sexual kompromat operations. Maxwell and her

As was previously reported:
In 1996,
the FBI failed to act on an accusation that they had together sexually abused a 15 year old girl and her older sister in a
bedroom inside Epstein's Manhattan townhouse. Documents in a recent law suit filed by an alleged victim, Maria Farmer, show
that the FBI had been aware of Epstein and Maxwell's child abuse activities in New York for at least a dozen years before Epstein
was finally prosecuted in 2008 under much-reduced Florida state offenses.

For her own part, Maxwell, who has been largely overlooked, was granted immunity from prosecution as part of Epstein's
prosecution deal. It turns out that Ghaislaine Maxwell has a spectacular past in the UK that has gone altogether ignored by the
U.S authorities and systematically obfuscated by the U.S. media, which has repeatedly spiked stories about the pair.
Here is some additional background and new details.
For years the rape of the Farmer sisters and the larger child sex scandal was publicly ignored by the authorities and the media.
A story intended to expose it in Vanity Fair was spiked by the editor. According to reporter Vicky Ward:
https://www.thedailybeast.com/jeffrey-epsteins-sick-story-played-out-for...
I spent many months on his trail in 2002 for Vanity Fair and discovered not only that he was not who he claimed to be professionally,
but also that he had allegedly assaulted two young sisters, one of whom had been underage at the time. Very bravely, they were
prepared to go on the record. They were afraid he'd use all his influence to discredit them -- and their fear turned out to
be legitimate.
As the article was being readied for publication, Epstein made a visit to the office of Vanity Fair's then-editor, Graydon
Carter, and suddenly the women and their allegations were removed from the article. "He's sensitive about the young women,"
Carter told me at the time.
Not until after the rearrest of Epstein in July 2019 have details about Maxwell and the Farmer sisters started to reemerge.
In reality, Ghislaine Maxwell has a history of entanglement with political sex scandals that goes back to when she was 23.
An extraordinary 1986 front-page British tabloid story in a British tabloid revealed that Ghislaine had a relationship with
a Conservative Member of Parliament reportedly involving compromising photos taken of him with naked boys whom the MP had beaten
with a cane. English public school kinky. Extraordinarily, The People tabloid was controlled by the Mirror press syndicate,
owned by Ghislaine's father, Robert Maxwell, whose picture appears on the masthead above his daughter's Page One photo.
Robert Maxwell was himself a Member of Parliament for the opposing Labour Party . . .
Talk about spinning a story and flipping the narrative . . . extraordinary. Very Old School.
There's no implication of any connection between GM and the kinky Tory MP.
It's still a pretty damned strange story though ... the claim is that some unknown person threatened to "expose" an inappropriate
liaison between GM and a young Marquis, Lord Granby (son of a Duke, I guess), unless Maxwell's paper laid off a series of stories
about the Tory MP's sex life.
The strange part of the business is that ... I'm not sure what would be inappropriate about any particular relationship between
GM and Lord Granby. Was he married? If not, then ... what? I mean, yeah, it was 1986, but that's not the same as 1956, and they
were both in their early 20s. Really weird. And presumably there never was any follow-through on the threat so ... huh!?!?
@UntimelyRippd
@UntimelyRippd under the guise of defense of Ghislaine Maxwell's character. I don't buy that a telephone call was received
at the editorial office of The People from a mysterious blackmailer, at all. Smells like a smear job against an opposition
politician that Maxwell's daughter, GM had gotten to know, intimately, as insinuated.
The tabloid's "investigation" was an exceptionally nasty smear job, but that's not terribly unusual for British tabloids and
politics. We're just beginning to catch up over here.
The references to a man claiming to be a homosexual partner giving the tabloid compromising photos of "naked boys" four months
earlier, and to the Conservative MP caning them, is at least intriguing and potentially significant (particularly in light of
Ghisaile's later activities), but, as far as I know were never substantiated. Would not be surprised, nonetheless, if the Marquis
was not returned to Parliament.
The ongoing scandal this fed into was enough, apparently, to disaffect the poor MP's constituents and backers. Read the last
paragraph. "IN THE NAME OF GOD, GO!"
Even if she was 23 at the time, for Robert Maxwell to use his daughter in this way was a form of abuse. He was capable of worse,
and did worse.
The Marquis in question is young Lord Ganby, who is not Harvey Proctor, the Tory MP accused of caning boys.
I agree with you on one point: I don't think anybody called The People and threatened them with exposing "compromising"
photos of GM and Lord Ganby. I think the editor of The People made the whole damned thing up, probably on RM's instructions,
in order to increase the hype around their ongoing expose of the Harvey Proctor sex scandal (with caning etc.). Which is probably
why the scandalous relationship supposedly being used as a threat isn't actually very scandalous at all -- they wouldn't want
to create a really scandalous fictitious relationship, because juicy rumours are hard to put down once you've created them.
In other words, nothing in any of this connects Ghislaine Maxwell to the alleged caning of boys by Harvey Proctor.
@UntimelyRippd and bottom line: Ghislaine Maxwell has a 30 year history of involvement in political sex scandals and compromise
operations that the corporate media has missed.
down which one could easily get lost. Ghislaine Maxwell's father (
Robert Maxwell ) was a publisher who had strong ties
to Israel and was buried there after his mysterious drowning death. There have been
rumors that Maxwell worked for the Mossad.
Maxwell, 57, comes from money. Her father was publisher Robert Maxwell - who himself faced accusations of being a Mossad
double (and possibly triple) agent and a "bad character" who was "almost certainly financed by Russia," according to the British
Foreign Office. Robert Maxwell died in 1991 when he fell from his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine - however the circumstances surrounding
his demise have been rife with speculation (including that it was a Mossad assassination - a theory which attorney and longtime
Epstein associate Alan Dershowitz slammed in a 2003 op-ed).
Ghislaine Maxwell is a good friend of the Clintons too and
was pictured having attended Chelsea Clinton's wedding . Thus far, Ghislaine Maxwell has been protected and if she continues
to be protected, then we will know that she is definitely a government asset, (CIA or Mossad?).
No one really knows what is the real story of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, but this is more than just what it appears
to be. There are many questions about
how Jeffrey Epstein acquired
his vast fortune and how he was able to become friendly with many high level politicians and influential people, including
the British royal family.
One more item: the most amusing thing about Epstein is that not a single source/person can say how he made his money. That's
a topic for a next essay, but there's this: 20 years after -ostensibly-, leaving Bear Stearns Epstein turns up as a director
for one of their SIV's.The vehicle was called Liquid Funding Ltd, and Epstein is listed as a director and chairman. The entire
vehicle went stone dead, as did Bear. But Jeffrey did not.
Leveymg, thank you for having the nerve to broach this subject because Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and their sex
peddling business may have far greater ramifications than any of us can imagine, if the truth is ever allowed to come out. I wrote
most of my comment before reading your linked essay thoroughly and I apologize for duplicating some of the content. Blackmail
is a great form of control.
We should keep a watchful eye on this story because this may be the tip of a very large and dirty iceberg that has infected
our government for a long time. Finally, Zero Hedge has an interesting editorial article up today by "Tyler Durden" that
asks a very puzzling question.
Why did Epstein fly back to the United States when he knew that the courts were unsealing 2,000 pages of his previous case?
@gulfgal98 Why, indeed did Epstein fly back into the U.S.? He should have suspected that Barr would arrest him on orders
from the Chief. Or, is JE being presented as a sacrificial lamb, being led before the rest of the herd, to succumb as a bloody
example of who calls the shots (pardon the horrible mixed metaphors, but, hey. These do occur).
I am reminded of an old FarSide cartoon in which two bears are walking on their hind legs and one of the bears has a red and
white target painted on his back. That bear-with-target would be JE, if I'm not mistaken. Wexner and associates will not take
lightly to the pressure of the klieg lights being constantly upon them.
He went right back to being accepted in the high society. Not long after he got out he had dinner with Katie Couric and George
Stephanopoulos and started right back up where he left off. You'd think that his friends would want to put some distance between
them and his perversions.
But when people talked about his registering as a sex offender he said this:
"I'm not a sexual predator, I'm an 'offender,' Epstein told The New York Post in 2011. "It's the difference between a murderer
and a person who steals a bagel."
Uh no.. Jeff you are a sexual predator and you should be still sitting in a regular prison cell for a few more years or decades
if the original case had gone to the original conclusion.
In 2010, the year after he got out of a Florida prison, Katie Couric and George Stephanopoulos dined at his Manhattan mansion
with a British royal. The next year, Epstein was photographed at a "billionaire's dinner" attended by tech titans like Jeff
Bezos and Elon Musk. A page popped up on Harvard University's website lauding his accomplishments, and superlative-filled news
releases described his lofty ambitions as he dedicated $10 million to charitable causes.
Powerful female friends served as social guarantors: Peggy Siegal, a gatekeeper for A-list events, included him in movie
screenings, and Dr. Eva Andersson-Dubin, a champion of women's health, maintained a friendship that some felt gave him credibility.
Epstein put up a website showing Stephen Hawking and other luminaries at a science gathering he had organized.
"If you looked up Jeffrey Epstein online in 2012, you would see what we all saw," Leon Botstein, president of Bard College,
said in an interview. He seemed "like an ex-con who had done well on Wall Street," who was close to the Clintons and gave money
to academic pursuits, Botstein said. That was why, he noted, Bard accepted an unsolicited $50,000 in 2011 for its high schools,
followed later that year and in 2012 by another $75,000 in donations.
Siegal threw the dinner party at Epstein's Upper East Side mansion for Prince Andrew, giving Couric, Stephanopoulos, Chelsea
Handler and others a chance to speak to a member of the royal family a few months before the much-anticipated wedding of Prince
William and Kate Middleton.
"It was just one of those strange nights," Handler said in an interview. Siegal had not emphasized who was hosting, several
guests recalled. "The invitation was positioned as, 'Do you want to have dinner with Prince Andrew?'" Siegal said. Epstein
did not speak much. Andersson-Dubin was there, but others said they barely knew who Epstein was or what he had been convicted
of.
People close to Epstein had to know what his true history was and yet they all welcomed him back in their fold.
By throwing millions of dollars at the legal system, Epstein successfully enlisted Alex
Acosta, a sitting U.S. Attorney who just resigned as Trump's Labor Secretary, to grant the
admitted sex offender a non-prosecution and an immunity agreement.
That deal, that a federal judge has since ruled illegal, helped conceal a vast child-sex
trafficking operation that targeted vulnerable minors by offering them $300 and then employed a
kind of pyramid scheme where victims were recruited to find new victims.
For decades now, as a general assignment reporter, I have had front row seats for a
procession of these kinds of defendants. I have seen the likes of Epstein before.
Over my life as a journalist, as the whirlwind of wealth concentration stripped so many
threadbare, these guys have prospered on an unprecedented scale. In our era of late-stage
vulture-capitalism, it is these most ruthless predators that are elevated before their fall by
our corporate media as living deities.
Rogues Rushmore
The elevation of Donald Trump to the Presidency marks the high-water mark for this
underworld crew who masterfully play the compliant corporate media that's transfixed by great
wealth and confer upon those that hold it all sorts of intellectual prowess so as to cultivate
proximity to them.
As we saw in the Federal prosecution and conviction of
Michael Cohen for his role in facilitating the payoff of Stormy Daniels, Trump knows
everybody has a price.
These great white men are their own law. They see themselves as the smartest guys in the
room. They have the cunning to know how to hollow out others so that they can own their souls.
With the precision of an acupuncturist, they pinpoint that pressure point that's the nexus of
desire, sexual pleasure or ambition.
These must be done with sleight of hand but even if you are caught red-handed, as long as
you have high priced representation on retainer, you can outmaneuver
prosecutors.
Weaponized Sex
Charles Kushner, the father of Jared Kushner, President Trump's senior advisor, is another
case in point.
Kushner, the real estate mogul and major Democratic campaign donor, was appointed by
Governor McGreevey to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in 2002 and was nominated
by the Governor to be the chairman of the board of the sprawling bi-state multi-billion-dollar
enterprise in 2003.
McGreevey had to withdraw that nomination and
Kushner had to resign when allegations surfaced that the developer's massive donations to
his campaign might have run afoul of campaign finance and conflict of interest laws.
The year before Kushner's appointment, while on a trip to Israel, McGreevey crossed paths
with Golan Cipel, who was in his early 30s. Subsequent press reports boiled down the young
Israeli's bio to his being a former member of the Israeli Navy and a published poet.
In 2002, it was
Kushner who sponsored Cipel, for a hard to obtain work visa in the U.S. and gave him a
$30,000-a-year job in his northern New Jersey office after Cipel had worked on the McGreevey
campaign.
In the immediate aftermath of September 11, 2001, Cipel was nominated by McGreevey to a
$110,000 job to lead the state's freshly minted Homeland Security office. Cipel's status as an
Israeli citizen and his lack of executive-level counter-terrorism experience sent up multiple
flares which McGreevey ignored.
The young Governor doubled down, as he blew through his very limited 'honeymoon' political
capital trying to make the appointment stick. But the Governor's wild overstatement of Cipel's
work experience doomed the pick and Cipel handed in his resignation in March of 2002. Yet, he
was kept on at the same salary as a "policy counselor" a position he would resign from a few
months later.
In August of 2004
McGreevey resigned from office disclosing that he was "a gay American", explaining he was
compelled to make the bombshell disclosure because Cipel, with whom he had an affair, was
threatening to sue him unless he was paid $5 million (McGreevey reportedly called the U.S.
Attorney Chris Christie to report the alleged extortion).
But as Cipel tells it on his own website he was the victim of sexual harassment.
"All those things that I rationalized to myself seemed very logical at the time, but the sad
truth is that I was acting out of confusion and fear," Cipel writes. "Like many other victims
of sexual harassment, I chose to deny what had happened."
The Art of the Deal
In August of 2004 the elder Kushner, a towering figure in both American and Israeli politics
and philanthropy, pled guilty to a long list of corruption charges that could have sent him to
jail for many years if he had been your run of the mill federal defendant of color in a drug
conspiracy case.
Kushner admitted to hiring a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, who was working with
federal investigators against him, then videotaping that sexual rendezvous and sending it to
his brother-in-law's spouse, who was Kushner's sister.
But Kushner and his lawyers would ultimately outmaneuver U.S. Attorney
Chris Christie , whose major vulnerability was his own infinite ambition for power as we
saw with Bridgegate. The night before Kushner was supposed to be in court to plead guilty, the
U.S. Attorney leaked the still un-inked deal to reporters.
But as the media waited in Newark the next day for the official deal to be confirmed in the
federal courtroom, the appointed time came and went. Behind the scenes, Kushner's lawyers and
Christie's team were going back and forth over the terms and conditions of the deal.
By the end of the day, Kushner would enter a guilty plea as advertised, but he made no
commitment to cooperate with the government or to offer up any potential co-conspirators.
According to the Department of Justice's press release, Kushner pleaded guilty to 18 counts of
filing false tax returns, one count of retaliating against a cooperating witness and one count
of making false statements to the Federal Election Commission.
By the evening news cycle, the morning's news of a plea deal was finally true, and Christie
could bask in the glory. "This is a great victory for the people of New Jersey," said the
federal prosecutor who would soon run for governor. "No matter how rich and powerful any person
may be, they will be held accountable for criminal conduct by this office."
Each of Kushner's 18 tax counts carried a maximum penalty of three years in prison and a
fine of $100,000, according to the DOJ; the witness retaliation count carried a maximum penalty
of 10 years in prison and a fine of $250,000; and the
false statement charge provided for a maximum prison term of five years and a fine of
$250,000.
Scroll forward to March of 2005, though, and Kushner was sentenced to just two years --
which,
The New York Times reported at the time, was the most he "could have received under a plea
agreement reached last September," with Christie.
It was clear that Christie's office had been out-lawyered by the Kushner team. And the
Christie-approved leak -- before he had closed the deal -- definitely hadn't helped. Before
sentencing, the Department of Justice wrote a letter to the judge observing that, in the final
analysis, Kushner showed a "failure to
accept responsibility" for a long litany of criminal acts that could have landed him in
federal prison for decades."
Without a truly thorough prosecution, the House of Kushner would endure and prosper and
Kushner would see his son go on to greater things sitting in the star chamber of ultimate power
deciding who the U.S. should bomb or sell weapons to.
Equal Justice Not
Our collective attention span is so short and the non-contextual way the news is reported
assures we lose track of the narrative thread so when types like Epstein and Kushner cut their
deals we miss it.
Without the candle power of the Miami Herald 's probe
of the Epstein plea deal, we remain in the dark about how every day great wealth can insulate
the guilty, no matter heinous their crime, from really being held accountable.
Meanwhile, those without means, who are innocent, are chewed up and spit out by a criminal
justice system that is neither blind nor fair.
"We have a system of justice in this country that treats you much better if you're rich and
guilty than if you're poor and innocent," said civil rights attorney
Bryan Stevenson in his TED Talk. "Wealth, not culpability, shapes outcomes. And yet, we
seem to be very comfortable. The politics of fear and anger have made us believe that these are
problems that are not our problems."

It is possible that Epstein is just an ordinary paedophile, a slave to his own sick depravity. But this now seems unlikely, it
leaves too many questions unresolved: why did Epstein build a sex trafficking network? Why did he seek the company of the world's
most influential characters? Why did he schlep all those royals, once and future presidents, Harvard professors and movie
stars around the world in his 'Lolita Express'? And then we get to the big question: how did he get away with it all? Back in 2007,
registered sex offender Epstein was supposed to spend the rest of his life behind bars. Instead he spent a mere thirteen months
in a VIP prison.
The Daily Beast reported yesterday that when Alexander Acosta, the former U.S. attorney in Miami who
infamously cut Epstein a non-prosecution plea deal back in 2007 , was being interviewed for the job of US labor secretary by
the Trump administration's transition team, Acosta's conduct in the Epstein affair came under scrutiny. In that interview Acosta
allegedly said, "I was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to leave it alone."
The more we look into this registered sex offender's saga, the more it appears to have the characteristics of a gargantuan espionage
operation. If so, then Epstein was running a multi-million intelligence apparatus set to accumulate dirt on some of the world's
most influential people. The walls of his Caribbean island palace were rigged with cameras, and likely for reasons other than his
personal libidinal gratification. Epstein didn't work alone. Press reports allege that Ghislaine Maxwell functioned as Epstein's
'madam.'
Multiple court filings reviewed and reported on by the Miami Herald reveal that lawyers
for one of Epstein's alleged victims claim that Maxwell helped traffic girls and women to powerful figures. The same documents report
that the alleged victims were lured into the sex ring by offers of modelling, fashion, and educational opportunities.
Ghislaine is the youngest child of the flamboyant Jewish media tycoon Robert Maxwell, who died under mysterious circumstances
in November 1991. Shortly before he died, a self-proclaimed former Mossad officer named
Ari Ben-Menashe
had approached a number of news organisations in Britain and the United States with the allegation that Maxwell was a long-time
agent for the Israeli intelligence service.
I cannot verify whether Robert Maxwell was a Mossad agent or if association with the Mossad is an hereditary trait, but the possible
conjecture that Epstein and Maxwell were running an intelligence operation makes sense of the questions surrounding this gruesome
spectacle.
This intelligence postulate raises a crucial question. If Epstein was a spy, who did he work for? Was it the Russians? I only
ask because every time Tel Aviv comes up as a likely suspect
American media tends to blame the Russians
.
Maybe Epstein was working for the Iranians, all indications are that the Trump's administration is desperate for a pretext
for a war with Iran. Another possibly is that this affair is a classic MI6 operation and Epstein is actually the paedophile model
of 007.
If the espionage conspiracy theory is correct, then the Mossad and the CIA would be the natural suspects. Yet it is difficult
to believe that the Mossad acting by itself was powerful enough to procure for Epstein his remarkably lenient plea deal.
It is almost
impossible to imagine that Acosta, acting as the federal prosecutor, would take instructions from Israel. If it was the Mossad,
they likely enjoyed significant support from within the American intelligence community. I assume that Alan Dershowitz, Epstein's
former attorney, may be able to answer some of these questions. He seems to know the details:
Could there be a connection to Starr's role in covering up the Vince Foster murder? See "Was Vince Foster's Murder PizzaGate-Related?
http://dcdave.com/article5/161213.htm . Maybe Starr is an
all-purpose Deep State fixer when it comes to pedophilia.
Gangbangers are known to be extremely stimulated by teens on the young side. Epstein sent invitations to socially acclaimed
gangbangers letting them know that dozens of young teens were going to be at his parties. Epstein's was a voyeur, his reward
was to enjoy watching the high and mighty descend into depravity. He masturbated while watching the orgy.
Epstein has been pegged for more than a decade in my books as a MOSSAD agent running a global, THE global pedo ring used
to blackmail and bribe powerful, connected people for his masters. It was NO secret.
I know that Gilad knows the VT crew, they
reported on this many years ago I think. besides which you'd have to be a retard not to have put 2 and 2 together years ago
from what was public knowledge.
Unless of course one is naive and doesn't understand the nature of 'intelligence agencies' and
their methods. Particularly MOSSAD/CIA. Circumstantial evidence alone would just about convict him.
What I am wondering is if Trump is dirty or clean. This will be hugely significant going forward. If Trump is dirty, then
Epstein is in the right place at the right time for his masters to make sure Trump dances to their tune without fail. Only remaining
queston besides who are his masters? Do they want war with Iran, or not? Guess we will know when the next false flag in the
Gulf goes off.
@Tono Bungay Sure, the 'international man of mystery' , Epstein, is the issue but the labeling of him as a paedophile by
the media is not an accident. Almost 30 years ago, Rep. Gerry Studds could stand on the floor of the House of
Representatives and defend his pouring vodka down the gullet of a 16 year old page boy before sodomizing him as 'consensual
sex'. Studds was not called a paedophile by the Washington Post or the NYTs.
Raúl Ilargi Meijer has an interesting article at his website ( https://www.theautomaticearth.com/2019/07/why-did-jeffrey-epstein-fly-back-to-the-us/
) that asks the important question of why did Epstein come back to the US knowing he was going to be indicted?
Something is just not quite right about Epstein's 'career'. Hugh Hefner could live the 'Playboy' life into his
nineties and never run afoul of the law or public opinion because his 'girls' driver's licenses said 18.
As a practical matter, to a 40 or 50 year old man looking
for some young flesh being 16 or 18 is a distinction without a difference but it makes a world of difference if your goal is
blackmail but this begs another question.
If you are Prince Andrew, a billionaire or an ex POTUS do your really need the services
of Epstein and Maxwell to get laid- even by a teeny bopper? None of this story makes much sense save for the fact that Epstein
has fallen out of favor and must have feared for his life had he stayed in Paris.
The biggest item missing from Gilad Atzmon's look at Jeffrey Epstein, is Epstein's historically biggest financial partner,
Les Wexner
Wexner the lead figure in a group of about 20 aggressive Zionist Jewish billionaires named as the 'Mega Group' in the 1990s
Wexner possibly the main funder & creator of the whole 'blackmail via under-age girls on an island' scheme
Did Les Wexner, with his fierce wish to destroy the enemies of Zionism, along with his fellow 'Mega Group' billionaires,
fund the expensive show of 'Jeffrey Epstein billionaire with private jet' all in order to create a Mossad honeypot blackmail
scheme abusing under-age girls, in order to entrap major politicians into being compelled to support Israel? To 'save &
protect Jewish lives'?
In 1988 Jeffrey Epstein declared net worth of only USA $20 million where did he get the huge fortune after that?
Wexner's trust bought the New York mansion Epstein lives in, which was raided the other day, Wexner turning it over to Epstein
around 1995
Les Wexner has himself been named as the paymaster of kidnappers of a menaced young woman, in a court filing involving Ghislaine
Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein, Alan Dershowitz etc
Dershowitz admits he had a massage at Epstein's place, tho by an 'older Russian woman' and Dersh 'kept his underwear on'
maybe this 'Russian' a girl who looked older with all her make-up?
In the 2008 'deal' after Epstein's 2007 indictment, ultra-Zionist Alan Dershowitz was a leading lawyer brokering that deal
Now Dershowitz seems to have sabotaged Epstein, Dershowitz arguing in court that Epstein files should be unsealed and made
public Dershowitz won that battle in a US federal appeals court 2 July, 4 days before Epstein was arrested
Dershowitz claimed he was trying to defend himself but that seems silly Epstein files cannot 'prove a negative' that Dershowitz
never raped children, there can only be a lack of evidence and files show Dershowitz deeply connected with Epstein
Daily Beast is the media leading the charge against Epstein now with 'insider scoops' from prosecutors
Daily Beast was founded in 2008 by Jewish media kingpin Barry Diller, & Tina Brown 'who has Jewish grand-father'
The 'prosecution' of Jeffrey Epstein is ... involving prosecutors connected to both Trumps & Clintons
Lead prosecutor of Epstein is Jewish Geoffrey Berman, law partner of Rudy Giuliani 'Mr 9-11' who is now Donald Trump's top
personal lawyer
Assisting Berman, is Maurene Comey, daughter of Hillary ally & former FBI Director James Comey, fired by Trump, Maurene Comey
married into the Zionist Issacharoff family, her new father-in-law having taught at Tel Aviv University
Wikipedia, run by CIA-Mossad ex-pornographer Jimmy Wales, close friend of Israeli presidents, has edited Epstein's biography
to delete the USA Democrats connected with Epstein and to delete references Epstein is Jewish
Epstein made the same claim as Jimmy Wales, of getting their mysterious money by 'foreign currency trading', which crushes
most people who try to do it it seems this is a cover story for getting political money from Jewish sources
At the age of 20, university drop-out Jeffrey Epstein, was hired to teach maths & physics to teen-age girls & boys, at the
prestigious private Dalton School in Manhattan, where he worked from 1973-75
The headmaster who hired Epstein, was Jewish convert to Christianity Donald Barr (1921-2004), who is the father of Donald
Trump's current Attorney General William Barr (born 1950) who thus has Jewish ancestral heritage
@Brabantian hind all these accusations
by the woman who has accused Wexner of having sex with her. Her unpublished manuscript for a book did not mention Dershowitz,
he was a very late addition. She also originally claimed to have been 15 when she started work with Epstein but now acknowledges
she was 17.
No one in their right mind is going to involve their lawyer or allow his to have knowledge of the very crimes that the lawyer
is defending him on. First of all, you cannot expect a lawyer to stand up police pressure. Secondly, lawyers are far more effective
if they believe their client is innocent.
@Brabantian llionaires named as the 'Mega
Group' in the 1990s Wexner possibly the main funder & creator of the whole 'blackmail via under-age girls on an island' scheme
This works better than either the 'jus' a feller who liked 'em young' or the 'Mossad agent' extremes.
Epstein, Wexner, et al would be like Sheldon Adelson; 'mighty warriors for Yahweh.' They're taking their money and talents
and using them to fight the good fight for Israel.
Certainly Israel's happy to benefit -- and no doubt she cooperates fully -- but she's not really the driving engine of this
scheme.
I'm not convinced of this myself -- but it makes a better working hypothesis than anything else I've read yet.
' If you are Prince Andrew, a billionaire or an ex POTUS do your really need the services of Epstein and Maxwell to get
laid- even by a teeny bopper? '
If you think through the practical scenarios, the answer might be 'yeah, you do.'
that is, unless you shortly want to read all the details about your weekend together with your love-toy in the National
Enquirer.
Lawyers need brains, but also to have a lot of the actor about them to be good in court. They suspend their disbelief, and
don't expect the fourth wall to be broken. Even after an acquittal, it is considered very bad form for the client to tell the
lawyer he was guilty.
Supposing they are found guilty, there is then less reason than before the trial to make even implicit admissions, because
they have one last hope of a successful appeal. So no one is going to give their their lawyer any reason to think they are guilty.
Prison is full of innocent convicts.
@Colin Wright liked older women, as with
Sarah Ferguson (he went gay for a while after that) and Koo Stark. Before that he astounded the the Queen by asking out a friend
of hers who was decades older than him.
Anyway the woman fabricating all these these allegations was at least 17 years old at the time. He could have had young looking
18 or 19 year olds as a single man if that was his thing. He could have married a 16 year old if he wanted. Andrew official
position at the time was to drum up business for UK exporters, so he hung out with moneyed Wall Street figures. The allegation
against him is bullcrap.
@Sean beaten 5-3 by Portugal in the World
Cup of 1966 after leading 3-0. This occurred on July 23rd, 1966, 5 days after my fifteenth birthday. (53 years ago.)
I would never confuse that with hearing about the first man walking on the moon on July 20th 1969, 2 days after my eighteenth.
Even if her memory is not as good as mine, she would surely know how old she was and what grade she was in high school when
she started working at Mar-A-Lago, and even if she didn't, making legal depositions is not the same as a casual conversation
after a few drinks when a slip of the tongue might give the wrong year.
You have had a real field day, more like a feast on Epstein for your diet of champions: SCAPEGOATING JEWS.
How delicious it must be for you to have someone so loathed a defense is non existent.
A billionaire pedophile with secret money. Check every box. So easy my poodles could write this feast of Scapegoat crap.
The true test of a lazy mind to figure 3 articles about this guy. Have you done Kabbalah numerology to decipher the meaning
of his name in the Torah, or did they find the protocols amongst his belongings, or secret nuclear codes with notes to take
over the world? You are a true mental midget Gilad, to weaponize this guy among the Jew hating crowd. But that is your true
calling article after article pin the tail on the Jewish scapegoat artist, feed the frenzy.
I leave you with this article by Hirshi Ali, talking about the white elephant in the room. Baked into the DNA of muslims. Interesting
how she points out the myth of the Jews buying power, vs the Islamist. https://www.wsj.com/articles/can-ilhan-omar-overcome-her-prejudice-11562970265
The allegation that Jewish or Zionist money controls Congress is nonsensical. The Center for Responsive Politics estimates
that the Israeli government has spent $34 million on lobbying in Washington since 2017. The Saudis and Qataris spent a combined
$51 million during the same period. If we include foreign nongovernmental organizations, the pro-Israel lobbying figure
rises to $63 million -- less than the $68 million spent lobbying for Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Hirsi Ali
Islamists have understood well how to couple Muslim anti-Semitism with the American left's vague notion of "social justice."
They have succeeded in couching their agenda in the progressive framework of the oppressed versus the oppressor. Identity
politics and victimhood culture also provide Islamists with the vocabulary to deflect their critics with accusations of
"Islamophobia," "white privilege" and "insensitivity." A perfect illustration was the way Ms. Omar and her allies were able
to turn a House resolution condemning her anti-Semitism into a garbled "intersectional" rant in which Muslims emerged as
the most vulnerable minority in the league table of victimhood.
@Sean depressing that he spent his time
securing acquittals for people who not only were guilty, but were usually very bad actors to boot. After all, first-time offenders
can usually do alright with the public defender. By the time anyone hired Spencer, they were usually repeat offenders, had done
something horrific again , and were looking at some serious time unless the family threw money into the kitty and paid
Spencer's fee.
The other lawyer was a guy who'd gone back to teaching high school after his kids were grown up -- he thought other lawyers
sucked. Thinking back over his career, he could think of one client he'd had who was convicted that he genuinely thought
was innocent.
There is no defense of him. You never comprehend what I wrote. My point being, the only reason he is being written about
is that he is Jewish. So you can imprint all your Jewphobia on to him.
IE: All Jewish men are pedophiles. Its called racism and scapegoating, you are always so slow to understand.
My fault is with Gilad posting every criminal Jew he can get his hands on. "look, look a criminal Jew."
No, Epstein is not being written about because he is Jewish. He is being written about because he variously seduced and raped
girls as young as thirteen and trafficked in them to the rich and famous, including almost certainly a former US president.
It's all incredibly corrupt and lurid, including suborned courts and government officials, hints of involvement on the part
of a member of the British Royal family, a personal 737 equipped with a bed, and a private island.
This guy would be a story no matter what he was. Face it. If the Jewish angle is having any impact at all, it's probably
making some people back off.
@Colin Wright l their mothers that he
had duped them (he paid out tens of millions in compensation as part of the deal). He could have had 18 year olds galore, paid
them properly, and even if they went to the press he could say. "So What!"
Instead he is a convicted sex offender who had to agree to register as such to get his plea deal, now any charge against
him will be a slam dunk. And the trafficking a 14 year old charge is going to get him life in prison, and because of the previous
deal the judge will specify a real prison, which is somewhere Epstein will have to be isolated and soon wish himself dead.
And the focus will stay on Epstein so that all the Elites who were sexually assaulting 11-16 year old girls and boys on that
island will remain covered up. So far, they have only mentioned the same names they have already mentioned the first time this
story broke; Clinton, Prince Andrew, and a couple others.
So, it is likely that much more powerful people who were involved will be protected from indictment.
Because Jewsus loves all the children of the world, red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in his sight.
We all bleed red, man! "He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth." (Acts 17:26)
@Sean hey'd have a hell of a time if they
started trying to make sure he never got drunk and fired off his assault rifle in the camp ground.
My point here is that like the N.R.A., Israel can command the allegiance of quite an army of supporters. It's not, however,
a very disciplined army, and Israel can't actually keep many of these troops from acting like idiots if they feel like acting
like idiots. They're allies, actually; not servants. Israel goes to them, and says 'would you,' or they come to Israel and say
'I could' -- but then they go off on their own and have that hot little shiksa who wouldn't even look at them when they
were a pimply adolescent. There's nothing Israel can do about that.
A) As part of a sophisticated secret service operation for compromising VIPs, Epstein became a self confessed child molester
who pled guilty to specimen charges. He then helpfully left thousands of photos of victims he had not faced charges about strewn
around his properties, so that investigators could easily frame new charges that would–will–put him in prison for the rest of
his life.
B) Epstein got his dick caught in his zipper. No one can understand how a financial conjurer of considerable personal charm
could have been so stupid, so it is being assumed that there was much more to it than other sex scandals like Weinstein, Luis
K . But the accounts of Epstein's victims are in fact very similar to the aforementioned cases. Epstein liked mastubating in
front of the girls as much as if not rather more rather than actually having sex with them. The assertion that Epstein 'belonged
to intelligence' and the prosecutor was told to "to leave it alone" (although Epstein was sent to prison amid huge publicity)
came from the prosecutor himself, Acosta, who was bullshitting.

Hillary Clinton attempted a soft coup against trump that was aided by the US intellIgence
community and the sitting president (obama). But she couldn't handle a lone blackmailer
(epstein). No i don't think so. Keep in mind that Hillary was also backed by incredibly
powerful interests who would also literally burry Epstein if need be.
MI6 was allowing Prince Andrew to be blackmailed by mr nobody, lone blackmailer?
There is more to this story. Epstein was (is) protected by someone or an entity of
enormous power.
Yes. We should see more in the next few weeks/months.

I agree with Epstein being a weapon, but whose is the question, Barr is running this
remember so my guess is Epstein may be Trump's weapon. If so, who is his target? Well
revenge is a dish best served cold so maybe the Clinton cabal is about to finally get those
much talked about orange jumpsuits?
This act of revenge wouldn't negate the possibility he is going to be used to get sign-off
from congress for an attack on Iran. I hope not, but I have a very, very bad feeling about
this.

Posted by: Bemildred | Jul 14 2019 0:24 utc | 96
I don't think Trump is the target, I think Congress is the target and the one(s) running
the play is Israel and its Zionist supporters. Trump if forced/supported by Congress
concurrent with a False Flag or two will probably attack but only if they guarantee him a
second term. The only possible fail safe is the US military who know a meat grinder when they
see one and might refuse.
As I think someone else mentioned, it seems very plausible that Epstein played a game like
the one described. But I don't think you can play that game on the level he seems to have
done without some heavy backing. Alphabet agency? Or something deeper than that?
karlof1 @97: Yes, I just read a story where he (Dershowitz) claims there is sealed evidence
that will exonerate him. I dunno if I believe it, but it does explain it. And he does seem to
think better of speaking out now.
For the larger question of who is out to get whom, it's clear some people want to use it
to get Trump, it's not clear that Trump is afraid. I think we need more evidence for that.
Right now it looks to me like more of the Trump Show(tm).
You don't get rich people to come to your parties without seed money and
recommendations from other wealthy people beyond your dealings as a bank employee . You also
don't get someone like Maxwells daughter to recruit the young girls without someone behind
you.
You also find yourself dead or in jail pretty quick blackmailing too many rich and
powerful people unless you have serious muscle behind you. My money is the blackmailing was
done by intelligence agencies who warned them what happens if anything happens to their pal
Jeffrey
But if you want to propose a theory where intelligence agencies that Dershowitz and Acosta
believed were involved weren't involved, then go for it. Many people will believe anything if
it comes from someone they trust.
As for Mike Cernovich's outlook on this affair, he retweeted this cartoon implying he
agrees with its message: Taking down Epstein somehow gets Bill Clinton. Recall I provided
grounds for such angst/motivation by DNC tactics against Trump during election campaign, and
Cernovich is clearly a Trumpster. Indeed, IMO Cernovich is the unknown entity in this, his
motivation he has yet to provide, although he somewhat hints at it in this post from his blog, which
includes a rough timeline of the court proceedings. In reading a few more of Cernovich's blog
entries, I still don't get a clear indication of his motivation to join Dershowitz in 2017.
Perhaps given his stated disappointment in the charges filed, he wanted to get to the bigger
fish that Epstein catered to, which is a good reason....
div> frances @103 & 105: Yes I've seen that theory too, and it works
better, but still lots of speculation.
The CIA gets the bulk of its financing from trafficking in drugs, weapons, and people (a lot
of sex slaves but also weird stuff like live organ donors). All of the large cartels have
been destroyed yet the volume of cocaine entering the US has remained the same, so clearly
the CIA has largely cornered the market on cocaine trafficking.
Yet for some reason law enforcement has suddenly started busting large shipments. `Till
now the CIA has had no difficulty bringing in cocaine by the ton, but something seems to have
changed recently. What could that be?
A large scale CIA kompromat operation has been effectively shut down with the arrest of
Epstein. Why now?
It could just be that the CIA has lost its mojo and is now fumbling everything.
Considering the current crop of delusional cricket-fearing youngsters that have been
replacing the crusty oldsters in the CIA, this is entirely possible if not probable.
Or it could be that someone has amassed some power and is retaliating for Russiagate and
is hitting the CIA where it hurts the most in order to bring them to heel.
Either way, things are starting to look tough for the empire's kneecappers.
The Jeffrey Epstein case opens up a huge can of worms that is only just beginning to
unravel. It has the potential to set Wall Street against Israel, if anyone thought that was
possible. Posted by: Lochearn | Jul 13 2019 22:32 utc
Can we make a small bet that the story will peter out without huge sensations? Preposition
A: the story does not have much potential. So nothing much will happen, JE will probably
serve some time. Preposition not A: the story hides explosive aspect. Well, such stories have
a tendency to be buried (or prosecutors have a tendency to bury them). So either way, we can
enjoy some speculations, but earth will not shake.
Concerning "setting Wall Street against Israel", it is more probable to see a civil war in
Israel before that will happen. Perhaps I did not catch that this is a joke.
To me this is the most plausible explanation from Dr. Steve Pieczenik who was Deputy
Assistant Secretary of State under Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance and James Baker.[2] His
expertise includes foreign policy, international crisis management and psychological
warfare.[7] He served the presidential administrations of Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald
Reagan and George H. W. Bush in the capacity of deputy assistant secretary.[8]
The fact that the federal reserve has seen Powell and Shelton, both goyim, is connected to
Epstein being taken down. We are witnessing the slow dismantling of Jewish influence and
power in this country.
I wonder what Epstein would think of all this time and energy spent on his predicament? What
might he say to us regarding where to look. IMO, if we can dig up the roots, we can determine
what made his tree grow. The clues are likely in all that documentation that was just
unsealed but not yet released to the public.
Not so plausible: MI6 was allowing Prince Andrew to be blackmailed by mr nobody, lone
blackmailer?

For an introduction to the Epstein case please read
this .
A question that no one could so far answer is how Epstein got as rich as he appears to be.
A person who calls himself Quantian has an interesting theory of what
Epstein was actually doing.
Here is the short version:
Epstein offered the post puberty teenyboppers he seduced and/or bribed to the rich people
he knew. He invited lots of interesting people - artists, scientists, politicians, rich
businessman - to his exclusive parties. There were always these young girls around. There was
always a free bedroom. There were also cameras in place. When one of the rich guys messed
with a girl Epstein would blackmail him.
But instead of taking cash he asked them for investments in his offshore hedge fund. For
someone who owns billions it is peanuts to put a few dozen millions into a fund. It is legal.
The money isn't gone. It will even bear interests.
Epstein is not known for having done much currency trades or other larger Wall Street
transactions. His company is small, he didn't work a lot. It is likely he mostly re-invested
the money in a simple index stock fund which follows the S&P 500. Those type of funds
brought over the years quite a good profit.
Epstein would have taken the typical hedge fund fee of 2/20 which is 2% of the investment
per year plus 20% of the profits. The hedge fund would be completely legal and there would be
no tax troubles. The entrapped people would simply have to stay invested to keep Epstein
quiet and the video tapes off the broadsheet market. Some billionaires might have invested
upfront to gain access to the girls.
For Epstein the scheme would have been a very elegant way to pursue his personal 'hobby'
while creating an ever growing income.
Quantian's theory sounds
very plausible to me. It conforms with everything that is publicly known about Epstein and
about what he was doing. It does not require any additional conspiracy theory about
Mossad/Mafia/CIA involvement. But it also doesn't exclude that there is some.

Comments (114) Invariably some CIA, Mossad or other deep cover employees and assets would
have been caught up in such a scheme, attended a party etc. I still think Epstein himself was
at one time such an asset.
When there are other avenues of revenue generation available, these will be exploited by a
con man like Epstein.
A clever, high dollar blackmail scheme as described could very easily draw the
attention of the CIA/Mossad. Very useful to them. Important government officials involved -
along with those that fund them.
No reason why Epstein would not find himself suddenly involved and much appreciated.
There is much more credible evidence that Epstein was/is simply a scammer.
Note this lawsuit from a convicted felon, accusing Epstein of enjoying the spoils of a
pyramid scheme run by said felon .
@b
That sounds like the official version, nobody at fault, nobody hurt. I think the blackmail
part is a little bit illegal and the person on giving end would not be too happy about it.
Also I am thinking one has to be a little careful about blackmailing billionaires - I
hear the price to have someone eliminated is not very high but I really have no knowledge in
that area. People would have to fear the guy. Likely he would have to be pretty well
connected with people who are taken seriously.
You would think the fine people in the intelligence service would have sucked-down all
that info would probably lead to some interesting people and endeavors, but that does not
appear to be what happened. Did Acosta just make that up about he is an asset of IC? Is Trump
(or others) worried about the guy being in custody?
The time line is worth considering, he is let go ten years ago and no fuss is made, now a
reporter investigates and suddenly all breaks loss and Lindsey is horrified. So they pry into
his home and can you believe they find pictures of criminal activity on his coffee table
(like passport of terrorists - leave them at home guys). And suddenly they don't care where
it will lead.
Separately if anybody isn't aware, kidnapping of children and slavery of all kinds is
widespread - it appeared they were on track to legalize it - think Oxfam, sexual tourism, not
to mention I don't think guys check ID when using prostitutes and that is now legitimate
(taxable) profession - they advertise in my local paper.
Weird story has me thinking: When I was getting married many years ago, my "friends" throw
bachelor party for me involving gambling hookers and hotel room. I was not interested in the
hookers (scared of that) but girls starts dancing around the room to get everyone excited (Im
not sure her age) and while this is happening one of the instigators (a "friend" who also
happens to be federal employee) pulls out an SLR and starts snapping away. Through drunken
fog I am thinking this is too weird and left. I feel like most people in government are
seriously screwed-up.
It seems clear that there's an effort to paint Epstein as simple blackmailer
accompanied by wringing of hands over the rich vs. poor dynamic. Epstein's connections to
wealthy Jewish Zionists and possible connections to intelligence agency(s) (as per Acosta) is
being played down. A good example of this is provided by a link from the last thread:
The case
of Jeffrey Epstein and the depravity of America's financial elite where:
> no mention is made of Acosta's "belonged to intelligence" claim;
> no mention is made of the billionaire Jewish Zionists that were Epsein's
pals/clients; and
> no mention is made of his compatriot Ghislane Maxwell.
Anyone that's unsure if such suspicions have merit should take note of the
transparent manipulation.
Here's another example:
Commenter 'somebody' has taken the misdirection to new heights with his concern-trolling
about child poverty. 'somebody' would probably give Epstein a medal for his humanitarian
efforts.

A fluff and distraction piece that doesn't' bother (really!) to bring in the 'Hidden in Plain
Sight' occult component.
Symbolism and ritual is rife with the Uber-Elite -- partly (and I would say partly)
because they have so much time on their hands. He was chosen for some reason by whom we may
or may not find out to do any heinous act they asked of him. He obviously got paid very well
for doing it -- as well as being extremely protected -- until now -- maybe? By the way,
wondering where Maxwell is?
Another explanation is that this operation was the product of a consortium of rich and
powerful pedos. In exchange for parking your money with Epstein you gained access to his
girls in NY and the pedo fantasy island. The blackmail material as such was collected in
order to insure that no one could snitch out others without implicating themselves.
"Revealed: Jeffrey Epstein Entered Partnership Worth Millions With Ehud Barak in 2015"
"In 2015 Barak set up a limited partnership, in which he is the sole shareholder. That
company invested in Reporty Homeland Security, established in 2014, becoming a major
shareholder. Last year Reporty changed its name to Carbyne. The company develops
call-handling and identification capabilities for emergency response services."
"One of Epstein's prominent clients was Leslie Wexner, founder and chairman of the parent
company of Victoria's Secret's and other companies. Epstein financed and managed the Wexner
Foundation, a philanthropic organization that operates training programs to advance
leadership and excellence in Israel and among North American Jews."
Please don't forget that many of the so called blackmailed subjects certainly had access to
INSIDE INFORMATION that they could have shared and thus much higher profits.....
The idea that the CIA/Mossad/FBI etc. might be involved in the Epstein affair isn't new.
In fact such tactics are as old as the hills. Such tactics are known in the trade as "honey
traps." What may separate the Epstein affair is its extensive reach.
The US Secretary of Labor has already resigned and it may be likely that many more will be
implicated in one way or another. There are already rumors that former US President Bill
Clinton and current President Donald Trump may be involved. In any case, we may learn that
this scandal is like a proverbial iceberg: 10 percent in view, 90 percent below the water.
This may be a Titanic-like scandal and like that ill-fated ship, many will be dragged down
and there won't be enough life boats.
The gist of the money laundering allegation is that parents made fake "charitable
contributions" to the foundation, ostensibly to help "underprivileged children" but
actually as payment in exchange for somebody helping them cheat on the ACT or SAT, or to
bribe athletic coaches and officials at the "highly selective" universities to which the
parents (and/or their children) aspired. The charity substantiated the "contribution" by
issuing letters attesting that "no property or services" were given in exchange for the
"contribution."
Epstein started out as a teacher for rich kids, so he would know what parents would do to
get their kids to universities, jobs, art projects whatever, especially if tax
deductable.
The guests at his island seem to have come from science, universities, the arts, politics
- they were groomed to be corrupt, to receive money, not blackmailed to give money.
Sounds plausible. The IC connection may be a good guess if the harvesting of young flesh is a
recruiting tool, both for future assets of enticement as well as dark-channel ops support.
Given the reach of both the Epstein case and the Mueller investigation, the delay in
Mueller's appearance on Capitol Hill might be to clear the public palate of one scandal in
order to not steal thunder from another, or some re-orchestration of who owes whom given the
threat of pending revelations. Just a thought.
They will one day ask you to kill your closest friends. Who said that?
The most important question has to be What role played the intelligence agencies, the
FBI, the legislative and the executive in this
'poor/abducted-children-sex-slave-market'?
It is also interesting that people point to Libya, while referring to the outcome of a
Clinton/Obama campaign to sodomize Colonel Qaddafi, that ended up creating a flourishing
slave-market.
"Would you like to buy a young Bedouin girl? She is really pretty. We have ways for her to
get to you in New York. We'll take care of the procedure..."
The bucket stops here. It didn't stop with the organ-snatchers obviously. Or with water
boarding, torture, DU, war crimes and crimes against what goes for Humanity.
This much more than the personal sexual preferences of a con artist. It is the con artist
of the agencies and the deep state. There are more rich people who fantasize about a
manga-like teenager than is allowed to allure. But that's how it is. It is culture to have
naked young women everywhere. Just set your search engine to 'no filter' and you will
see.
Do you know how many music industry hits exist that feature a 'sweet young girl'? A sweet
16? And what would they do with a sweet 16? Looking at the stamp collection? Playing
Wolfenstein 3D?
This is the final call to destroy the network of organized crime with government
participation. In a very odd way one could say that they might snatch your young daughter,
too, if you don't stop them from doing it. That's called 'preventative measures'. The time to
protect the people from their out- and above law government agencies.
This will be a global revolt. Because one thing these people have forgotten about. Like
they forget about the arctic dynamics. The 'self-dynamics' of life/the universe. Things turn
always out different from what one wanted them to. There will be more attempts to put grey
noise over this vast conspiracy to exploit the working class/poor.
The implications are incomprehensibly multifaceted.
This nickel and dime theory doesn't add up. Epstein allegedly refused any investment under a
billion dollars. Epstein was mossad connected vis Ghislaine Maxwell and the "Mega Group".
Epstein's contact with the Israeli intelligence service may have plausibly come through
his associations with Ghislaine Maxwell, who allegedly served as his key procurer of young
girls. Ghislaine is the daughter of Robert Maxwell, who died or possibly was assassinated
in mysterious circumstances in 1991. Maxwell was an Anglo-Jewish businessman, very
cosmopolitan in profile, like Epstein, a multi-millionaire who was very controversial with
what were regarded as ongoing ties to Mossad. After his death, he was given a state funeral
by Israel in which six serving and former heads of Israeli intelligence listened while
Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir eulogized: "He has done more for Israel than can today be
said".
It does not require any additional conspiracy theory about Mossad/Mafia/CIA involvement.
It does get a bit tiresome to inform b that his use of the term "conspiracy theory" is not
only counter-productive but false. A theory is a theory and not a conspiracy, unless proven
otherwise. Moreover, he is falling once again into that old trap laid by the CIA in the
60s
"Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what
you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to
them to be otherwise."
I concur with most that the hypothesis cited by b isn't complete as it doesn't account for
how Epstein was "seeded."
Furthermore, there's a big problem with people thinking this just suddenly happened now
when the lawsuit to unseal Epstein's trial and plea agreement was filed on 27 JAN 2017 just
after Trump became POTUS. Additionally, Epstein was one of Mueller's Russiagate sources, and
Mueller was part of the BushCo DoJ team involved with the plea bargain.
So, people in the know knew the Epstein case was going to be reopened on some level;
however, the Miami Herald didn't start its reinvestigation until recently, although
Mike Cernovich--the co-plaintiff along with Alan Dershowitz--doesn't try to say its efforts
were worthless.
No, something bigger is at work here as it's already cost one former BushCo DoJ member his
high position within TrumpCo, which makes the seemly simple, Occam's Razor-like, explanation
an attempt to sweep it all back under the rug.
I suspect Epstein used blackmail to gain his millions rather similar to the MO of Jerad
Kushners father.....
Jerad Kushners father Charles was jailed for illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion
and witness tampering, the witness-tampering charge arose from Kushner's act of retaliation
against William Schulder, his sister Esther's husband, who was cooperating with federal
investigators; Kushner hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, arranged to record an
encounter between the two, and had the tape sent to his sister. He was sentenced to two years
in prison,[ and served 14 months at Federal Prison Camp, Montgomery in Alabama. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Kushner
I find it totally unbelievable that Epstein was not a front for a bigger organization
or he would be dead by now.
The timing of this kabuki in the middle of all the other geo-political stuff going on says
tons about how deep Epstein is in the "management of the puppets"
Do MoA barflies know about the movie Wag the Dog? This has Wag the Dog written all over
it.
I continue to posit that the crime at the bottom of all this is global private finance
that has been running the show for centuries. They are pulling the Epstein situation out of
the bag now for one or more reasons, deflection being a big one.....deflection from what?
Maybe it relates to Trump and his immigration stomp in America tomorrow?
Epstein is a symptom of a structural problem in the social contract of the West having
private finance instead of public. Global private finance is the cancer and all the rest are
symptoms of this cancer
Bemildred @21: Why Did Jeffrey Epstein Fly Back To The US?
karlof1 @25: something bigger is at work here
There's nothing 'bigger' than war with Syria or Iran. Trump said he called off an attack
on Iran. Maybe Israel didn't like that and feels the need to exert additional pressure?
@karlof1: Bemildred's link @21 provides a good review of the unsealing of records. The
unsealing was first rejected, then an appellate court order the unsealing of only a small
portion: apparently only "summary judgement" material. But releasing redacted versions of the
summary judgement material could take a long time.
AFAIK, the unsealing had nothing to do with Epstein's recent arrested. Instead, it
appears that the arrest was based on a new allegation that resulted in a search of his NY
home which turned up evidence of child sex.
<> <> <> <> <> <>
Many (mostly trolls) are saying that this could be bad for the Democratic Party
because Bill Clinton was close to Epstein. But AFAICT, Bill Clinton is no long active in the
Democratic Party (except indirectly as Hillary's husband and private political consultant).
It's unlikely that Israel cares much about Bill Clinton's already-tarnished reputation.
As the current President, Trump has much more to lose from ANY association with Epstein.
Epstein's arrest sets up a new blackmail: do what we say (war!) or Epstein will spill the
beans via a plea bargain. IT DOESN'T MATTER if Trump partook in the sexual abuse - if Epstein
names him then Trump loses the 2020 election and the 'Trump' reputation at the core of his
lucrative licensing business. A loss of value that could easily be in the hundreds of
millions of dollars.
This is perfect leverage against a man that we all know to be very ego-centric and
money-motivated.
I recently learned that China only has government banks, not privately held banks. This is
enough to explain why they are beating us so badly economically. Unless we learn lessons from
their success, they will continue to beat us.
Jack Rabbit @31: Well that is the question, who is trying to get whom here? Are there perhaps
more than one effort to get someone going on here? Epstein seems to have precipitated his own
arrest, did he risk one more quick trip and get caught, or did he walk into it knowingly?
What is all that incriminating evidence doing still there in his mansion? He doesn't look
that sentimental about his victims. Maybe that is what he came back for?
Trump seems unworried to me, Luongo seems to think Trump is behind it, and Barr runs
DOJ these days, Trump's own private St. Bernard dog AG.
I'm not taking any position on it, I'm just not happy with what I'm being told. Waiting
for the other shoe to drop.
The author makes it all seem less than it really is. I ask you to explain how Epstein's
large jet, a Boeing 737, shares a tail number with one used by the Department of State?
That's like my car sharing the same plate number as Mike Pompeo. Life just doesn't work like
that. But, with a tail number that corresponds to Epstein's aircraft being identified at the
tower as Mike Pompeo's the benefits to that are huge .
Was he able to avoid international customs when he traveled? Probably. Could he transport
illicit items, or people without fear of scrutiny? Probably. Use your imagination. This guy
is connected, and it wouldn't surprise me if he's a member of Mason Lodge P2.
Yes. The Monica honey trap pushed Bill Clinton into attacking Yugoslavia by way of
creating a distraction from the Monica honey trap. Of note is that Hillary boasts (in a
Clinton biography) about her persuasive efforts in getting Bill to bomb civilians in
Belgrade.
Epstein is a man who has the means to live anywhere in the world he choices. Why would he
risk a return to the US at this time, shortly after a court rules that his court record be
unsealed? Why would he keep highly incriminating evidence in his home? He is either
breathtakingly arrogant and stupid or something else is going on.
as for quantians theory on epsteins money - it is a viable hypothesis...but to me the money
focus is a complete distraction.. all of these freaks are insane kleptomaniacs + more to
begin with.. almost no one with vast amounts of money has gotten it legally, or they've
written the laws to make what they do legal..
why now? it is like throwing a bomb into the usa political theatre a little over a
year before the next usa election circus.. Acosta is now gone and the question is, who is
next?? the fact Epstein came back suggests he is a puppet on a string.. whose string?? i am
leaning towards jrs view this is aimed at trump, but don't have the same conviction as jr..
we'll see how it unfolds..
@31 Epstein's arrest sets up a new blackmail: do what we say (war!)
That line nails it. More disturbingly what Epstein reveals could all be bullshit and the
Trump campaign would still be seriously wounded.
Netanyahu wants a war. The western financial elite needs a war/scapegoat to distract
public attention in their desperation to hold onto global financial power
I do not believe Epstein was simply a con man with an elegant scheme. A simple con man does
not get away with blackmailing extremely powerful people on his own. Something big was behind
him - exactly what is open to debate and speculation.
"In 1982, according to those who know Epstein, he set up his own shop, J. Epstein and Co.,
which remains his core business today. The premise behind it was simple: Epstein would manage
the individual and family fortunes of clients with $1 billion or more. Which is where the
mystery deepens. Because according to the lore, Epstein, in 1982, immediately began
collecting clients. There were no road shows, no whiz-bang marketing demos -- just this: Jeff
Epstein was open for business for those with $1 billion–plus."
and
"From the get-go, his business was successful. But the conditions for investing with
Epstein were steep: He would take total control of the billion dollars, charge a flat fee,
and assume power of attorney to do whatever he thought was necessary to advance his client's
financial cause. And he remained true to the $1 billion entry fee. According to people who
know him, if you were worth $700 million and felt the need for the services of Epstein and
Co., you would receive a not-so-polite no-thank-you from Epstein.
Yet according to Forbes:
In 1982 there were 13 billionaires; in 1983 15; in 1984 12; in 1985 13;
So in the first 4 years of Epstein and Co. there were only a dozen or so American
billionaires qualifying for his services. The notion that a significant percentage were
pedophiles and also came in to contact with Epstein is, well, ludicrous.
Even if one lowers the bar to extremely wealthy individuals who have a couple of hundred
million in liquid assets kicking around, the number who were both pedos and acquaintances of
Epstein would be exceedingly small and unlikely to account for Epstein's wealth.
This makes me wonder if this isn't part of the reason Trump refuses to release his tax
returns. Having investments with Epstein would be hard to explain away for the non-cult
members.
To me, this seems like the 2 sides who are fighting for control of DC have both
invoked their nuclear options and now both sides are fighting to control the narrative so
that it smears their opponents more than them. I say that because this happened from 2
different directions. You had the Cernovich lawsuit about unsealing and the sudden rush to do
something in NY.
Part off the bigger question around this is the timing... why now?
IMO Distraction.
With Barr in motion the intelligence apparatus appears to be uniting and willing to
sacrifice one of it's own- Epstein- with implicit ties to trump & co, in order to send
the message that if Barr is unleashed (threatening FBI, CIA etc) the intelligence guys will
unleash Epstein and take out the politicians on both sides of the aisle.
The political scandal of intelligence documented pedophilia will utterly bury and
trivialize their Russiagate misdemeanors, will rebuild trust in them to hold politicians
accountable and functionally be a coup against US political leadership
This case is such a dog's breakfast of unconfirmed rumours and innuendo that I'd like to see
some actual evidence that Epstein is a pedophile. Quantian's theory is quaint but
implausible. Imo, a career based on blackmailing one billionaire would be hazardous but a
career based on blackmailing many billionaires would be virtual suicide.
There are lurid rumours about Epstein's perversions such as kidnapping and rape. But logic
suggests that if Epstein's Honey Pot Kingdom was based on kidnap victims then it would have
been necessary to kill some of them to shut them up. I think I'll just wait for the result of
his trial, if any.
...
It's incidentally funny that Michael Wolff wrote an Epstein white-wash article which
wasn't published due to fact-checking flaws. I'd say his Fire And Fury smear-campaign book on
Trump should have been spiked because of all the rumours and asinine drivel in it.
Plenty of details about Epstein's pedophilic misdeeds in "Filthy Rich" by James Patterson,
which appears largely to be based on testimony by the victims.
I've been reading Techno_Fog's
Twitter for almost 2 years now as he's a dogged follower of many criminal cases beyond
the Russiagate Hoax involving US DoJ. I just spent quite awhile scrolling through his tweets
and retweets (searching twitter is very difficult beyond the first page) to get to your request .
As you see, it's a tweet from May 2018, and note who its paired with: Mike Cernovich!
I currently don't have the time to continue scrolling through tweets to provide further
evidence of linkage between Mueller and Epstein, sorry. I do suggest taking more than a
cursory look at the material Techno_Fog posts as it unveils numerous cases of DoJ illegality
going back to Enron.
His current focus is on the Flynn case, although he clearly follows others, including
Epstein. I recall providing some basic info about Techno_Fog back when I first happened upon
his Twitter but few seem to have added him to their reading list.
IMO, he's an Old-school Conservative fighting for Justice and against
Injustice--particularly that perpetrated by the Federal Government. Here's the last one I'll
post ; what's interesting is the thread as it implies that Cernovich jumped in well after
the initial suit was filed by Dershowitz along with various assessments of Cernovich's
character.
Vicky Ward, who wrote the 2003 Vanity Fair piece on Epstein (with his sex proclivities edited
out of the story) had an interview with Chris Hayes (MSNBC) a couple of nights ago. From the
transcript:
... he (epstein) gave a deposition and in a different suit in the - I think late 1980s saying
that really what he was doing – and he lived by the way, in a quite a humble apartment
back then, was running a round recovering stolen money for the government and for private
clients.
And the interesting thing about that is if you know how to recover stolen money, you
also know how to hide money. And the reason I mentioned that is that what I did discover
is that before Les Wexner his mentor who I went to meet within jail at the time, the man
called Steve Hoffenberg was serving a 20-year jail sentence for what was then the biggest
Ponzi scheme in American history.
The Ponzi scheme ran from 1988 to 1993. The money, some $475 million, was never
recovered.
So a number of years after Epstein launched his vaunted 'golden goose' company, he was
living in 'a quite humble apartment' and if his deposition is to be believed 'recovering
stolen money for the government and for private clients'. Not quite the success story we were
led to believe. It also seems to indicate his wealth was acquired after the 'late 80s
deposition' as 'humble apartment' and 'Epstein' seems like a contradiction in terms.
> blackmailing many billionaires would be virtual suicide.
> Why would he risk a return to the US at this time, shortly after a court rules that
his court record be unsealed? Why would he keep highly incriminating evidence in his
home?
Hmmm... WHAT IF....
Mere speculation, but what if there came a threat to Epstein so real, that he now
considers American jail to be his safe haven? Especially if that would be the same kind of
"jail" that he enjoyed under his "sweet deal" sentence? Blackmailing billionaires is not the
only job that can lead you to grave. Sometimes being witness in the know is enough to it
I'm reposting the following in bold so maybe most will read it and understand what it means:
There's a big problem with people thinking this just suddenly happened now when the
lawsuit to unseal Epstein's trial and plea agreement was filed on 27 JAN 2017 just after
Trump became POTUS.
Cernovich filed his appeal to unseal @ 6 MAR 2019. There was no need to gather any further
evidence as plenty was on hand at DoJ to arrest Epstein although an additional complaint was
filed.
Why Epstein chose to return to USA is an outstanding question. Also, his sudden wealth
occurred at a time when CIA was fueling the Crack Epidemic, was awash in drug money and
needed as many ways to launder it as possible. Some may have seen the film Less Than
Zero ; Epstein strikes me as being able to figure out a way to avoid becoming the victim
in that film by turning the outcome on its head.
@56 under this speculation, because mansion in USA is better than jail in USA, but both are
better than grave outside USA.
Remember, there were speculations that both Skrypal and Berezovski negotiated their return
to Russia short before they were delt with. So, in such a thought line, Epstein got the
lesson and decided to return first, negotiate later
"Any connection between this Mega Group and the Mega superspy that Israeli/Jewish messages
said they only contacted on supremely important matters?"
Israel Shamir and others believe it to be one and the same. In other words there was no
superspy. It was an erroneous assumption based the conversation.
Shamir: The megabucks call themselves 'Mega group'. This name appeared in the media a
couple of years ago, as a name for the secret Israeli mole in the upper reaches of the US
establishment. It came up in an overheard phone conversation, later denied by the Israeli
embassy in Washington, DC. The newshounds and spook watchers got it wrong. 'Mega' was not an
agent, Mega was the boss."
Yes, it is the biggest issue for Israel; it is an obsession. If only the ISIS Caliphate
had worked as planned and the Jihadists had moved on to Lebanon to smash Hezbollah after
gaining control of Iraq and Syria. Maybe the plan was for the Jihadists to take on Iran after
that.
It hadn't occurred to me to link Iran and Epstein in a move to get at Trump. I have seen
photos of the two looking like good buddies. Epstein's climb up the greasy pole was too
easy for a lazy pervert. But he was of high value as a honey trap maestro.
In that other sex scandal case, namely the Harvey Weinstein one, he had produced a film
called "Miral" which was considered, according the American Jewish Committee, to have
"portrayed Israel in a very negative light." It was back in 2011 but these things take
time!
Except when they don't. After the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission found Israel guilty
of war crimes in Nov, 2013, the Malaysian MH370 just happened to disappear without trace in
March, 2014. Then a few months later we had the Malaysian MH17 shot down over Ukraine.
Powerful people who have blackmail problems do one of two things: 1) they hire a hit man to
make the problem go away by forcing the guy to give up the blackmail material before wasting
him, or 2) they go to other powerful people who are not under the thumb of the blackmailer
and get them to get the guy to stop (which may or may not involve wasting him as well.)
So I don't see this as a simple case of blackmail for profit. It's a nice scam, and
perhaps that was also involved. But sooner or later - especially with Maxwell's involvement -
Israel's Mossad and other intelligence agencies would see this as the perfect way to get dirt
on tons of people in the US elites.
Quantian's theory looks neat and elegant, as would be expected of someone who studies
mathematics, but it does lead MoA barflies (a few of whom have done so) to ask how Epstein
could have got his scheme started in the first place, even given that he'd worked for Bear
Stevens in the past and already had a tiny financial pile from which to launch his
blackmailing scheme. Epstein would not have been the only person spruiking a very exclusive
boutique hedge fund in the early 1980s, when he first started it and when there were few
billionaires in the US and beyond.
Plus such a scheme would need a personality with considerable, er, balls to carry it off -
unless Epstein had support from other people. Intelligence and security agencies could have
given him that support indirectly through front organizations or representatives.
There is also the issue of what Epstein was doing with all the pictures collected over the
decades - he surely wasn't stashing them away in digital photo albums just to look over once
in a while or to share with, er, friends. They had to have more active, ongoing value than
merely an archival purpose for a future one-off blackmailing proposition, especially for
someone whose main motivation in life is to continuously make money.
Again, I would urge you to read the link @21 ("Why did Jeffrey Epstein fly back to
US?").
AFAICT the lawsuit to unseal and the ruling for unsealing is irrelevant to what is
happening now. In fact, the ruling was not necessarily very damaging to Epstein (he's already
a known sex offender) - the vast majority of the material remains under seal.
The conviction in 2008 settled the matter up to then. AFAICT that can not be
re-opened.
A new case was started (in 2013, I think) but was SETTLED. The unsealing motions are only
related to this 2013 case. Unsealing was denied by a lower court but a LIMITED unsealing was
approved on appeal (recently) which ONLY unseals "summary judgments" in the case. Apparently
that's a small amount of material compared to the whole. Such judgments are essentially
fact-based and probably not very controversial. Nevertheless, there will still be some
redaction and that process could take weeks or months.
What appears to have happened here, is that there was an entirely NEW complaint that
prompted a searching of Epstein's NYC home, which turned up child sex material.
Instead of focusing on the long-standing request to unseal or the (apparent) failure to
avoid arrest by returning; we should be questioning why Epstein would put himself in jeopardy
by fooling around with young girls in USA and keeping evidence at a home in USA.
It seems very convenient that a new allegation is made and Epstein had evidence in his NYC
home. If not for that, he would be free to roam the world with his millions, doing whatever
he pleases. Is Epstein that dumb/sick that he would put himself at such risk? Or, could it be
that someone wants this song bird in jail, ready willing and able to sing?
Thanks for a very informative comment. The CNN narrative caught my attention for some
reason:
The Miami Herald reported in 2018 that it had identified about 80 women who say they were
molested or sexually abused by Epstein between 2001 and 2006. The newspaper's continued
reporting on the case, including articles about Epstein's 2008 plea deal that kept him from
being prosecuted for federal crimes, caught the attention of federal prosecutors in New York
who brought the new charges against him.
Given the reach of both the Epstein case and the Mueller investigation, the delay in
Mueller's appearance on Capitol Hill might be to clear the public palate of one scandal in
order to not steal thunder from another, or some re-orchestration of who owes whom given
the threat of pending revelations. Just a thought.
A decent theory but pretty sure there is a clearer explanation for the Mueller delay.
Mueller will show contempt for the court if during his testimony he claims once again
that the Russian Government was behind the Facebook ads "used to influence our 2016
election".
Mueller and the Democrats are gobfkd. Half of Russiagate was sunk by a judge just last
week. Only the supposed hacking of servers by the Russians remains usable in Russiagate.
So what kind of testimony can Mueller give to the salivating Democrats now that the
Facebook ad claims are an embarrassment to Mueller (AND the MSM)(AND the Democrats)?
A US District court judge has dealt a major blow to special counsel Robert Mueller's theory
that the Kremlin engaged in "sweeping and systematic" meddling in the 2016 US election.
Judge Dabney L. Friedrich ruled this week that the Special Counsel's indictment of a
Russian troll farm "does not link the defendants to the Russian government," and "alleges
only private conduct by private actors."
...
Judge Friedrich writes "It is significant and prejudicial that the government itself drew a
link between these defendants and the Russian government," adding "In short, the Court
concludes that the government violated Rule 57.7 by making or authorizing the release of
public statements that linked the defendants' alleged activities to the Russian
government..."
Do not be surprised if the Mueller testimony is postponed indefinitely. The only other
option is for Mueller to withdraw the law suit against the Russians, and **that** would be
amazing to even think about!
Various mentions of "Wag the Dog" up there. The real one to me was using the Iraq war to
cover up Tony Blair's affair with Wendi Deng. We need a paternity test on Chloe, and maybe
Grace also. Ooo, boy! That will topple Big Ben!
1) Where did Epstein get money to set this up?
2) Where are the videos of the perps?
3) You really think you can blackmail such powerful people without blow back or death?
4) Epstein is connected to some vile zionists with Mossad ties (Wexner, Bronfman, Maxwell,
etc.)
5) The weird temple?
6) Too many levels of gov stepped in to help Epstein. That suggests high level protection.
Mueller, Acosta and Ken Star did not step in to protect Bill Clinton's good name.
7) This was an entrapment scheme of some of the most powerful and influential politicians
around. The legacy media is completely ignoring this facet of the case.
Epstein was (is) likely working for Jewish billionaires who happen to be rabid Zionists.
There was likely support from Mossad.
Acosta's breezy dismisal of his handling of the Epstein case, with the excuse that he was
advised to back off, during his background check suggests that he believed that there
wouldn't be any repercussions because higher authority was at work which would protect him as
well. At least that is how I see it. This is not compatible with an explanation of 'simple
blackmail'. The people involved weren't just rich, but politically powerful.
So is his island in the British or US VI? There are rumored to be secrets stored there in
a room with a special safe. Wonder if a search warrant has been served there...
It is not that I love Trump but we must look at the plausible turns of events whether he
be friend or foe.
It is interesting that Trump was one of the first one's invited into the Manhattan
apartment given to Epstein in 2002. Trump was always floating in those party circles and I
suspect they were using each other for inside information as the Quantian thesis speculates.
As word got out in those largely democrat NY social circles I am sure it was like drawing
flies to shit. The background of the giver was posted by others and that speaks for
itself.
Trumps tightness with him ended after that. Trump is Israel's boy so Epstein is not going
to out him and I do not think there is anything to out anyway. In the 80's and 90's Trump was
a straight arrow party follower and chaser of women not little girls. He did not drink.
Bunches of that crowd were snorting coke but he was high on business. He loved sex, money,
and business. That was his drug.
The attorney of one of the lead girls that has been suing Epstein for a long time says
Trump was the only one that helped him. Trump helped him contact all the people that
he wanted to subpoena and he dropped Trump's subpoena as he provided all the information he
needed voluntarily.
Another aspect is that the reason why Acosta took the case. The District Attorney for that
county in Florida refused to take the case. He was eager until the police chief turned it
over to him and he found out it was Epstein. The police chief begged the FBI to get involved
as the DA refused an open and shut case. The District Attorney is purported to be in articles
a big time Democrat and an ADL awardee.
Trump's DOJ is retaking the case. Where are the heavily democrat NY DA's in this? Trying
to get Trump and ignoring Epstein. They just quietly dropped another canard case against him.
Again the State DA does nothing and heavily supports one side. This shit went on for decades
in NY high echelon party circuits and NYPD intelligence units never got a whiff of it?
Really? Does anyone really believe this shit could happen and go down quietly for
decades?
Clinton could be the sacrificial fall guy to close up this case and put it to bed. I
do not expect much out of a Republican DOJ other than to cover its friends asses. Either way
I expect the Democrats to take the bigger hit.
There is way to much smoke for it not to he an intelligence operation supported by the big
ones. There are way to may power players involved for a deal not to be made. That deal could
be for the next four years after 2020.
The Jeffrey Epstein case opens up a huge can of worms that is only just beginning to
unravel. It has the potential to set Wall Street against Israel, if anyone thought that was
possible. He was involved with jailed junk bond king Michael Milken in the 1980s where
he met Leon Black of Apollo Management, a private equity mafia scam boss, who may be about to
fall due to close association with Epstein.
While the financial world has been puzzling over the question for years, it is really not
that complicated, according to Steven Jude Hoffenberg, Epstein's former mentor. Epstein
used fraudulently gotten funds as seed money, he told Quartz.... In 1997, Hoffenberg -- the
head of bill-collection firm Towers Financial -- was sentenced to 20 years in jail for
running one of the biggest Ponzi schemes in US history. Thousands of investors were bilked
of more than $450 million.
Hoffenberg now tells Quartz that Epstein was deeply involved in the fraud. Epstein was
never charged in the case, but he was "totally in the mix," Hoffenberg said. He added that
Epstein helped him set up the Ponzi scheme.
"He was my colleague daily, seven days a week," Hoffenberg added.
Hoffenberg said Epstein's connection to the crime didn't come up at the time because he
pled guilty. "When you plead guilty you don't go in for elaborate discovery."
I wrote a comment in response to another at the end of the last Epstein thread that I am
going to share here as well. I will also provide a link to the song at the end
"
@ Richard (S)teven Hack who wrote
" What happens to Israel if it's proven that Epstein was running a honey pot operation
involving pedophiles for the benefit of Mossad blackmail of the most powerful people -
including Presidents - in the US and elsewhere?
"
If you replace Israel with the unknown those that own global private finance I would agree
100% and it is why
this is happening now.......Go listen to the jaunty blues song by James Taylor titled
"Steamroller Blues" and think of China singing that song to the West.......I do
To Grieved and karlof1
I am a butterfly flapping its wings madly in tune to the song mentioned above.
Mr. Morosky, the executive who worked for Mr. Wexner, says he was perplexed by his boss's
relationship with Mr. Epstein. Mr. Wexner told him that Mr. Epstein could "introduce him to
important people," Mr. Morosky recalls.
@47 sarz. One question that comes to mind reading your essay is why the crypto game?
NY (and the US by extension) is shock full of the chosen ones & dual-citizenship Israelis
so why pretend?
People don't generally continue to hang out with someone who is blackmailing them.
Epstein maintained relationships for almost two decades with his clients. They only distanced
themselves after the bust and probably not even then.
Those VIP people run in the same circles. If Epstein was really black mailing them then
the entire social circle would have known, making his scam impossible.
Epstein provided VIPs with a service and they trusted and protect him to this day.
They even rehabilitated him after his jail time. That's not how people treat
blackmailers. If anything investment in his fund paid for access to said service. The VIPs
probably found out about the videos and some the age of the girls after his indictment. The
videos were an insurance policy for epstein's backers (mossad?).
Busting Epstein now is a crude way of letting sitting politicians know Epstein (Mossad,
AIPAC) have them by the balls. And said organizations want war with iran.
This sort of wild speculation based on scant, if any, evidence, is not what I expect to find
on MoA. How about everyone (including b) stepping back and waiting for facts to emerge?
Yes. It's unclear if Trump was ever involved with under-age women. It doesn't really seem
like Trump has such a proclivity.
But that will hardly matter if Epstein chooses to name him in a plea deal. The press will
drag Trump through the mud. They will note that Trump was known to have been associated with
Epstein and Trump ran the Miss America Contest (featuring young, but not under-age women) for
many years.
And that is the point I was making @31. Epstein is a threat to Trump - even if Trump
happens to be completely innocent. One must ask: who might benefit? and why now? Those
questions naturally lead to Israel's desire for USA to eliminate it's Iran problem.
I imaging that Israeli leaders are fed up with USA cautiousness. Obama didn't bomb Syria
in 2013, and Trump didn't attack Iran after Iran downed the drone a few weeks ago.
Maybe CIA will eliminate Epstein in jail so that Trump and others are not blackmailed into
starting a war? Or maybe Mossad will eliminate Epstein because Trump demands to be free of
blackmail potential before he starts the war they want?
As some here, I was also wondering about the opportunity of reviving this case, when
everybody knows that no rich person in the US ends in jail, and thus, Epstein will go again
scot free.
I think that this is a great distractor to keep the US populace busy while other events
are in the cooking. But which events those could be....I was thinking that the reviving of
this case could well lead to the definitive implosion of the US political system, and after
seeing the strong opposition this current administration has managed to build in its first
mandate, thye are most probably sure thye would never win the elections again, all the more
when Trump bases are getting nothing from electoral promises...
What if the demolition of the US parliamentary system is needed to cop with coming events
and the reviving of this case comes to help on this, so as to facilitate, for example, the
take over by the military in an escenario of chaos, like the resulting of the mother of all
crisis?
Wall Street reaches record highs, the fall is imminent
The markets are euphoric. Wall Street reaches record highs, driven upwards, in
particular, by low interest rates. This week, for the first time in its history, the
Standard and Poor's index, the reference for investors, has exceeded 3,000 points. The Dow
Jones is also at the highest level.
It is the "paradox of tranquility." Everything seems to be going well when investors
take more and more risks and, therefore, more speculative securities develop until a
disturbance of growth or interest rates causes a change and, immediately, a financial
crisis.
The markets seem more and more disconnected from a growth that slides on the bottom of
the commercial war. The real economy is stagnant. In the United States, growth is not
expected to reach 2.5 percent next year. The slowdown is even more pronounced in Europe.
Even China is lagging behind.
But stock exchanges are more interested in interest rates than in real growth. Interest
rates will fall further, as the Central Bank of the United States will announce a cut in
interest rates during the next week.
If the central banks, both in the United States and in Europe, keep interest rates low,
it is because of the pressure of the speculators, because if the rates rise they could
cause a collapse.
Low interest rates encourage speculators to borrow. In 10 years the global debt of
companies, states and families has increased by 50 percent. If we take the public debt of
all the countries of the G20, the figure of 135,000 million dollars is reached, a huge
bubble.
The capitalist crisis reduces interest rates to maintain the illusion of growth and that
reduction is the fuel of a new crisis, even greater.

And there are lots of details in the Miami Herald investigation. Some of it reads like
child porn with girls 14+ giving details of the inside of the West Palm Beach mansion as well
as his "body parts."
A coworker told me about being on a jury that convicted a couple of abusing their
children. The young women had to testify with details which he said made jurors sick.

I am pleased to be reading more and more of this analysis but still assert we really don't
know who owns global private finance and so attributing these actions to those that you did
is questionable in my understanding.....the elite WANT you to focus your ire on people rather
than structure so they can deflect the misdirected passion.
I agree that there is far too much circumstantial evidence for Epstein to not have had
powerful, violent if need-be, backers (ie intelligence agencies). It's trivial to eliminate
an individual who tries to blackmail the rich and/or powerful so he had to have some form of
state sanctioned protection.
What so many who use Trump volunteering information as his proof of innocence forget, is
that he has a pathological inability to STFU. Of course he'd talk to the prosecutor to
control the narrative if nothing else. Being willing to talk to anyone is his political
schtick, too. It's his "Art of the Deal".
What nobody can explain is why or how Acosta got a plum Cabinet position if there was no
Epstein connection. Sure seems like yet another "crazy" coincidence.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is an Israeli attempt to force Trump's hand against
Iran.
"It does not require any additional conspiracy theory about Mossad/Mafia/CIA involvement. But
it also doesn't exclude that there is some." NOT or SOME ya think? So are you seriously
suggesting that it's possible that MI6, Mossad and the CIA turned a blind eye and just stood
by idle while a Royalty, PM of Israel, POTUS and Secretary of State, dignitaries and famous
Academics got themselves entangled in a billionaire pedophiles blackmail web? "Conspiracy
theory's" aside, ya think that even after PA Acosta admitted that he was forced to take his
hands off and stand down and let Epstein of the hook because he was their "intelligence
Asset"?
JR @ 81
There is evidence Trump likes young girls. He even bragged about walking in on contestants in
pageants he owned. He owned Miss Teen USA as well as Miss USA and Miss Universe. He bragged
about using his position to see contestants naked in the latter 2. That takes a certain type
of individual.
Why was Dershowitz involved in the 2017 suit to get the Epstein deal partially unsealed? For
some sort of selective release of information for what? It would not seem to be in Dershowitz
interest to bring all that up again, he appearing to be one of the protected parties. It is
noticeable that he felt compelled to come out with a statement now.
MSM seems to be making hay with the story too. Not suppressing it. Not all following the
same script (yet at least).
It seems that I may have been wrong about a new allegation. I might have confused new victims
coming forward with "new allegations" if past conduct to mean a recent offence.
SDNY seems to be prosecuting for activity that occurred during the same time period as
covered by the non-prosecution agreement.
Thank you Jackrabbit #7, I do appreciate your cold water wake up critical analysis and
commentary. I accept that the simple analysis of what Epstein was doing was correct, but only
in part. Epstein was building capital and potential in many resources through the investment
front: he could sell his data to any bidder.
The simplistic front made him wealthy for sure but the combination gave him power and
access that $ wealth could not reach.
Many writers seem reluctant to go near any semitic discourse. The piece I linked to by
Elizabeth Voss in Consortium news, and the WSWS piece are examples. They desperately avoid
writing an multi dimensional storyline that might enrage the ADL.
"...This was an entrapment scheme of some of the most powerful and influential politicians
around. The legacy media is completely ignoring this facet of the case.
Epstein was (is) likely working for Jewish billionaires who happen to be rabid zionists.
There was likely support from Mossad."

I agree completely, this answers why he was able to blackmail so many for so long and
live.
I think he was brought back now, and a new case started, to put pressure on said politicians
to get them behind a war on Iran.
A very nasty war; probably with a bunker buster swarm leveling the country and probably to
start soon, my guess is in August.
For if Trump can continue to resist those pressuring him and gets reelected without
Adelson and co's support, it is the end of Israel's dreams of middle east conquest for 4
years at least. Can't have that.
The oligarchy has thoroughly defeated the peasants in the grasp for power. The oligarchy
is now fighting among themselves to see who will be king.
Epstein is a weapon being used by one faction of the oligarchy to dispossess another
faction of an important tool, to wit - Donald Trump, so that the one faction can either
co-opt this important tool or insert their own important tool into the White House to gain
control over the U.S. military. After all, neither faction of the oligarchy can be successful
at naming the king if they do not have control over the world's most destructive
military.
Ah yes, my old buddies (from The Oil Drum days) at The Automatic Earth still produce good
work. The only logical reason IMO for Epstein to return right on the heels of the unsealing
is to show he's worthy of being allowed to post bail, and do another plea bargain so he still
has some life to live and enjoy the riches he's accumulated. Of course, maybe he was ordered
so his case pushes that of
George Nader under the rug ("Since the arrest of George Nader on June 3 in New York
relating to child porn offences – and his story being unearthed by investigative
journalists – we are witnessing a wising up of Trump.) provided Epstein has genuine
Intel links.
"There's more - what evidence did the FBI/DOJ have on Epstein?
"An FBI file entitled 'Summary of Sexual Activity,' containing an analysis of
victim-specific information chart showing phone calls, travel, and grand jury evidence."
On that thread, there's speculation that then DCI Hayes was involved, may have even told
everyone what to do.
frances @93 & JasonT @94: The problem is Trump doesn't look like one of the most likely
targets, and he is not blabbering uncontrollably about it now. It seems unlikely to work. Of
course these are Neocons and Zionists involved so that doesn't necessarily matter. And he is
an actor. But nevertheless, Barr seems totally un-upset by all this noise too. Go for it
boys. If it's an attempt to get Trump, he seems very un-Trump-like in his attitude towards
it, amused not worried or blathering on twitter. If Epstein is really in the middle of a war
among the elites, I expect we will see more evidence of it soon,
As I noted when I went to find Dershowitz's explanation for his filing, he ceased using
his Twitter after 5 July, the day
prior to Epstein's return and arrest. His last Facebook entry is from 26 FEB 2019, and he
seems to have mostly disappeared from news stories--certainly nothing within the past 48 hrs.
He's 80, so his health is telling him something, perhaps.
"... To me, it starts with Wexner, and goes through the Mega Group. They were/are powerful deep interests out to help themselves and their pet cause Israel. Powerful non-state actors who could benefit Israel while still maintaining an arm's length relationship. Perhaps Bush wasn't the only state leader surprised on 9/11. It would seem a safe bet that Larry Silverstein moves in the same socioeconomic circles as the Mega Group. ..."
"... I find this suspiciously implausible. After the first blackmail attempt no one would visit him again and he'd be dead. There are proven/known repeats. This fact kills the blackmail facade. ..."
Epstein's Mossad connection is becoming more clear - it's an 'open secret' that blackmailing
'influential' individuals is a simple modus operandi used by the 'government' of 'israel',
for decades, in order to push its agenda and control those who 'support' it. It's also an
'open secret' that israel and a number of its 'citizens' are the most active of all states in
the 'white slave trade' - as well as the black market for human organs.
Of course, this won't be noted in the west's controlled media - but it's discussed quite
frequently in the alternative media around the world. Americans are ignorant of these facts,
so it's not really surprising that the epstein operation appears shocking to the average
person. It's actually par for the course in the u.s. since the late 50s-early 60s - epstein
is only one of many involved with this type of 'nwo' operation of control.

"Please don't forget that many of the so called blackmailed subjects certainly had access to
INSIDE INFORMATION that they could have shared and thus much higher profits....."
------
Agreed, safe insider 'win-win' trading (until it blows up).
The 'b' scenario is indeed very plausible, but it does not need to necessarily rely on
blackmail. These rapacious predatory fiat money 'elites' are quite capable of scoring a bit
of fluff anytime they want it. Just ask the doorman and slip a $100 note etc.
What they could equally have desired was an 'in' on a little exclusive Jewish-run
"Hellfire" club which, along with mutual investment opportunities (as the ticket in), simply
made Jeffrey Epstein a convenient host and 'Pimp/Madam' for quality kiddy fluff.
Doing all this via the likes of Epstein is simply a form of financial and moral'off
shoring.'
Lastly, why now? Another mass distraction campaign no doubt. And as odious as the Epstein
(and Clinton) types are I don't necessarily automatically buy into the 'evil' mass hysteria
meme. Sure, if 16 is the age of consent then younger than that is a legal matter. But in
other aspects, on a case-by-case basis, there are well mature 14-15 year olds biologically
ready for sexual experiences. At first glance I thought the 'pedo' label was referring to
7-10 year olds like the Catholic priest variety etc. Not so, it seems. Or have I missed
something? And was it only young females? Are none of these billionaire class homosexual? Or
was Epstein homophobic and only interested in a privileged hetero niche market?
Here is another thought. This case may authentically be resurfacing because of the work of
Julie K Brown at the Miami Herald and said pubs court victory to unseal court documents
related to Virginia Guiffre's suit of Epstein.
This was not sought after by the powers that be and the establishment is on the defensive
so they're trying to redirect this into a case about Trump, notably while ignoring a lot of
facts.
Maybe that's why this case has been assigned to SDNY which is full of democrats and even
Comey's daughter...maybe.
In any case i doubt much will come of it. Epstein's victims might get a little more
justice but not much and the higher ups will be protected.....except trump but i doubt they
have much on him.
I don't believe the lone blackmailer operation but more information will emerge and we can
all reassess. What is valuable is that this case will further erode the credibility of the
political, moneyed and media classes (often one if the same).
The problem with this theory is that it posits an improbably large and ongoing pay off.
Mutual self interest is much stronger in the long run. Do you really believe that Les Wexner
and his security team are going to allow some nobody like Epstein to blackmail them?
To me, it starts with Wexner, and goes through the Mega Group. They were/are powerful
deep interests out to help themselves and their pet cause Israel. Powerful non-state actors
who could benefit Israel while still maintaining an arm's length relationship. Perhaps Bush
wasn't the only state leader surprised on 9/11. It would seem a safe bet that Larry
Silverstein moves in the same socioeconomic circles as the Mega Group.
... Look at Trump. Do you think he would have won the election if he campaigned as a
Zionist promising to do all he could for big finance and Israel?
He ran as a heritage American promising to save his supposed fellows from their dire
straits -- unemployment, heroin addiction, suicide, and being overrun by strange immigrants
displacing them...
Look up Kevin MacDonald's research to understand how Jews look at the issue.
I find this suspiciously implausible. After the first blackmail attempt no one would
visit him again and he'd be dead. There are proven/known repeats. This fact kills the
blackmail facade.
Have commentators touched too close to the truth on the previous thread? Terrible
backtrack that was most assuredly planned by someone/people really out of touch with internet
discussions.
According to investigative journalist
Vickie Ward -- who has been covering the Jeffrey Epstein case since 2003 -- Alexander Acosta, the
former U.S. attorney who cut Epstein a sweetheart plea deal back in 2007, did so because he had
been told to "back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade."
"I was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to leave it alone," Acosta, who
resigned as Secretary of Labor on Friday, reportedly claimed.
"The case is getting uglier and more weird the more we look into it," said Glenn Beck on
Friday's radio program. "Back in 2007, the charges brought against [Epstein] were brutal. I
want you to listen to
this quote . 'The FBI and the U.S. Attorney's office determined that from 2001 to September
2007, Epstein had conspired to persuade minors to engage in prostitution, conspired to
transport minors across state lines for the purpose of illicit sexual conduct, and recruited a
minor across state lines to engage in a commercial sex act'."
"Despite what appeared at the time to be a slam-dunk case, the government chose to offer
Epstein a plea deal," Glenn continued. "They slapped him on the wrist with a lesser charge and
serving minimal time. Now, not only did this deal get him off easy, but it also immunized him
and his co-conspirators from prostitution."
Epstein's name, I was told, had been raised by the Trump transition team when Alexander
Acosta, the former U.S. attorney in Miami who'd infamously cut Epstein a non-prosecution plea
deal back in 2007, was being interviewed for the job of labor secretary. The plea deal put a
hard stop to a separate federal investigation of alleged sex crimes with minors and
trafficking.
"Is the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]?" Acosta had
been asked. Acosta had explained, breezily, apparently, that back in the day he'd had just one
meeting on the Epstein case. He'd cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein's attorneys
because he had "been told" to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. "I was told
Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to leave it alone," he told his interviewers in the
Trump transition, who evidently thought that was a sufficient answer and went ahead and hired
Acosta. (The Labor Department had no comment when asked about this.)
"... That Epstein would try and intimidate witnesses and victims is a central part of the argument made by prosecutors to keep him in jail until trial. ..."
Federal prosecutors said Friday that accused sex-trafficker
Jeffrey Epstein should stay locked up until trial because he's willing to use "intimidation
and aggressive tactics" to tamper with witnesses -- including recent payments totaling $350,000
in an effort to silence two associates who allegedly helped him.
"Epstein's efforts to influence witnesses continue to this day," the U.S. Attorney's Office
said Friday evening in a court filing in response to the financier's request to be released on
bail. A hearing before Judge Richard Berman is scheduled for Monday.
That Epstein would try and intimidate witnesses and victims is a central part of the
argument made by prosecutors to keep him in jail until trial.
Prosecutors noted the payments were part of a pattern that stretched back to November 2018,
when the Miami Herald started publishing its investigation of the pedophile
billionaire.
Just two days after the stories began to appear Epstein "wired $100,000 from a trust account
he controlled to an individual named as a possible co-conspirator" in the Florida
non-prosecution agreement, the prosecutors wrote.
Three days later, they noted, he "wired $250,000 from the same trust account to another
individual named as a possible co-conspirator" in the Florida agreement who is also identified
an Epstein employee in the indictment.
The extent of Israeli spying directed against the United States is a huge story that is
only rarely addressed in the mainstream media. The Jewish state regularly tops the list for ostensibly friendly countries that
aggressively conduct espionage against the U.S. and Jewish American Jonathan Pollard, who was imprisoned in 1987 for spying for
Israel, is now regarded as the most damaging spy in the history of the United States.
Last week I wrote about how
Israeli spies operating more-or-less freely in the U.S. are rarely interfered with, much less arrested and prosecuted, because there
is an unwillingness on the part of upper echelons of government to do so. I cited the case of Arnon Milchan, a billionaire Hollywood
movie producer who had a secret life that included stealing restricted technology in the United States to enable development of
Israel's nuclear weapons program, something that was very much against U.S. interests. Milchan was involved in a number of other
thefts as well as arms sales on behalf of the Jewish state, so much so that his work as a movie producer was actually reported to
be less lucrative than his work as a spy and black-market arms merchant, for which he operated on a commission basis.
That Milchan has never been arrested by the United States government or even questioned about his illegal activity, which was
well known to the authorities, is just one more manifestation of the effectiveness of Jewish power in Washington, but a far more
compelling case involving possible espionage with major political manifestations has just re-surfaced. I am referring to Jeffrey
Epstein, the billionaire Wall Street "financier" who has been arrested and charged with operating a "vast" network of underage girls
for sex, operating out of his mansions in New York City and Florida as well as his private island in the Caribbean, referred to
by visitors as "Orgy Island." Among other high-value associates, it is claimed that Epstein was particularly close to Bill Clinton,
who flew dozens of times on Epstein's private 727.
Alex Acosta (L) Jeffrey Epstein (R)
Epstein was arrested on July 8th after indictment
by a federal grand jury in New York. It was more than a decade after Alexander Acosta, the top federal prosecutor in Miami, who
is now President Trump's secretary of labor, accepted a plea bargain involving similar allegations regarding
pedophilia
that was not shared with the accusers prior to being finalized in court. There were reportedly hundreds of victims, some 35 of whom
were identified, but Acosta deliberately denied the two actual plaintiffs their day in court to testify before sentencing.
Acosta's intervention meant that Epstein avoided both a public trial and a possible federal prison sentence, instead serving
only 13 months of an 18-month sentence in the almost-no-security Palm Beach County Jail on charges of soliciting prostitution in
Florida. While in custody, he was permitted to leave jail for sixteen hours six days a week to work in his office.
Epstein's crimes were carried out in his $56 million
Manhattan mansion and in his oceanside villa in Palm Beach Florida. Both residences were equipped with hidden cameras and microphones
in the bedrooms, which Epstein reportedly used to record sexual encounters between his high-profile guests and his underage girls,
many of whom came from poor backgrounds, who were recruited by procurers to engage in what was euphemistically described as "massages"
for money. Epstein apparently hardly made any effort to conceal what he was up to: his airplane was called the "Lolita Express."
The Democrats are calling for an investigation of the Epstein affair, as well as the resignation of Acosta, but they might well
wind up regretting their demands. Trump, the real target of the Acosta fury, apparently did not know about the details of the plea
bargain that ended the Epstein court case. Bill and Hillary Clinton were, however, very close associates of Epstein. Bill, who flew
on the "Lolita Express"
at least 26 times , could plausibly be implicated in the pedophilia given his track record and relative lack of conventional
morals. On many of the trips, Bill refused Secret Service escorts, who would have been witnesses of any misbehavior. On
one lengthy trip
to Africa in 2002, Bill and Jeffrey were accompanied by accused pedophile actor Kevin Spacey and a number of young girls, scantily
clad "employees" identified only as "massage." Epstein was also a major contributor to the Clinton Foundation and was present at
the wedding of Chelsea Clinton in 2010.
With an election year coming up, the Democrats would hardly want the public to be reminded of Bill's exploits, but one has to
wonder where and how deep the investigation might go. There is also a possible Donald Trump angle. Though Donald may not have been
a frequent flyer on the "Lolita Express," he certainly moved in the same circles as the Clintons and Epstein in New York and Palm
Beach, plus he is by his own words roughly as amoral as Bill Clinton. In June 2016, one
Katie Johnson filed lawsuit in
New York claiming she had been repeatedly raped by Trump at an Epstein gathering in 1993 when she was 13 years old. In a 2002
New York Magazineinterview
Trump said "I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy he's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful
women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it – Jeffrey enjoys his social life."
Selective inquiries into wrongdoing to include intense finger pointing are the name of the game in Washington, and the affaire
Epstein also has all the hallmarks of a major espionage case, possibly tied to Israel. Unless Epstein is an extremely sick pedophile
who enjoys watching films of other men screwing twelve-year-old girls the whole filming procedure smacks of a sophisticated intelligence
service compiling material to blackmail prominent politicians and other public figures. Those blackmailed would undoubtedly in most
cases cooperate with the foreign government involved to avoid a major scandal. It is called recruiting "agents of influence." That
is how intelligence agencies work and it is what they do.
That Epstein was perceived as being intelligence-linked was made clear
in Acosta's comments when being
cleared by the Trump transition team. He was asked "Is the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]?" "Acosta
had explained, breezily, apparently, that back in the day he'd had just one meeting on the Epstein case. He'd cut the non-prosecution
deal with one of Epstein's attorneys because he had 'been told' to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. 'I was told Epstein
belonged to intelligence and to leave it alone.'"
Questions about Epstein's wealth also suggest a connection with a secretive government agency with deep pockets. The New York
Timesreports that
"Exactly what his money management operation did was cloaked in secrecy, as were most of the names of whomever he did it for. He
claimed to work for a number of billionaires, but the only known major client was Leslie Wexner, the billionaire founder of several
retail chains, including The Limited."
But whose intelligence service? CIA and the Russian FSB services are obvious candidates, but they would have no particular motive
to acquire an agent like Epstein. That leaves Israel, which would have been eager to have a stable of high-level agents of influence
in Europe and the United States. Epstein's contact with the Israeli intelligence service may have plausibly come through his associations
with Ghislaine Maxwell, who allegedly served as his key procurer of young girls. Ghislaine is the
daughter of Robert Maxwell , who
died or possibly was assassinated in mysterious circumstances in 1991. Maxwell was an Anglo-Jewish businessman, very cosmopolitan
in profile, like Epstein, a multi-millionaire who was very controversial with what were regarded as ongoing ties to Mossad. After
his death, he was given a state funeral by Israel in which six serving and former heads of Israeli intelligence listened while Prime
Minister Yitzhak Shamir eulogized
: "He has done more for Israel than can today be said"
Trump (left) with Robert Maxwell (right) at an event
Epstein kept a black
book identifying many of his social contacts, which is now in the hands of investigators. It included fourteen personal phone
numbers belonging to Donald Trump, including ex-wife Ivana, daughter Ivanka and current wife Melania. It also included Prince Bandar
of Saudi Arabia, Tony Blair, Jon Huntsman, Senator Ted Kennedy, Henry Kissinger, David Koch, Ehud Barak, Alan Dershowitz, John Kerry,
George Mitchell, David Rockefeller, Richard Branson, Michael Bloomfield, Dustin Hoffman, Queen Elizabeth, Saudi King Salman and
Edward de Rothschild.
Mossad would have exploited Epstein's contacts, arranging their cooperation by having Epstein wining and dining them while flying
them off to exotic locations, providing them with women and entertainment. If they refused to cooperate, it would be time for blackmail,
photos and videos of the sex with underage women.
It will be very interesting to see just how far and how deep the investigation into Epstein and his activities goes. One can
expect that efforts will be made to protect top politicians like Clinton and Trump and to avoid any examination of a possible Israeli
role. That is the normal practice, witness the 9/11 Report and the Mueller investigation, both of which eschewed any inquiry into
what Israel might have been up to. But this time, if it was indeed an Israeli operation, it might prove difficult to cover up the
story since the pedophile aspect of it has unleashed considerable public anger from all across the political spectrum.
Senator Chuck Schumer , self-described
as Israel's "protector" in the Senate, is loudly calling for the resignation of Acosta. He just might change his tune if it turns
out that Israel is a major part of the story.

aanirfan.blogspot.com in an article entitled " Epstein , Trump, 9/11 ' has identified Epstein's links not only to Mossad
but to his business relationships with CIA controlled airlines and perhaps to the false flag attacks on 9/11 .According to Aangirfan
, Epstein is a member of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission. The CIA and Mossad have strong
ties resulting from the efforts , according to the Wall Street Journal no less, of former CIA chiefs William Casey and James
Angleton . As Acosta has confirmed , Epstein has links to "intelligence " .
The presence of Ghislaine Maxwell is proof of Mossad's ownership of Epstein's kompromat operation. Ghislaine's father, Robert
Maxwell, created the Neva network -- a consortium of technology companies, banks, and Russian and Bulgarian organized crime
networks -- for his Mossad masters. Keeping up the family business, Ghislaine was running Epstein for the Israelis.
Speculation or scenario: the highest levels of the CIA and Mossad have been closely allied since the late 1940s (see especially
the role of James Angleton) and are pursuing common strategic objectives.
The New York Post remarked in March 2000:
"Epstein is an enigmatic figure. Rumors abound -- including wild ones about a career in the Mossad and, contrarily, the CIA."
Perhaps Epstein has been sponsored, funded, directed and protected by both agencies working in combination.
"Those blackmailed would undoubtedly in most cases cooperate with the foreign government involved to avoid a major scandal.
It is called recruiting "agents of influence." That is how intelligence agencies work and it is what they do."
But would not a single intelligence agency typically target and trap one isolated person, not a whole set of interconnected
people? That is, this is more like the way the P2 lodge worked in Italy, that is, a society.
With all the mystery surrounding how Epstein obtained such great wealth, I can't help but think it may be a global money
laundering operation connected to the global drug trade.
Books have been written about the CIA's involvement in cocaine and heroin distribution. Whether it's HW Bush and Iran Contra(cocaine)
and Bill Clinton with Mena, AR airport complicity in same or the explosion in poppy (HW's nickname just a coincidence ) production
in Afghanistan since the 2001 invasion, drugs seem to connect all these dots and more.
And, let's not forget the Israeli "Art Student" operation that targeted DEA offices.
A way for Epstein to get out from under this with the CUFI crowd might be to point out Mary, mother of Jesus, was pregnant
out of wedlock at 14 so what's the big deal?
NYT and Bloomberg have been writing about the mysterious source of Epstein's wealth. Epstein's hedge fund is established
offshore and has a hush-hush list of "clients". He was once sued by a guy named Michael Stroll who said he lost all $450k of
his money investing with Epstein, and he told an interviewer that everyone thought Epstein "was some kind of genius, but I never
saw any genius, and I never saw him work. Anyone that wealthy would have to work 26 hours a day, Epstein played 26 hours a day."
Bloomberg estimated that at best his net worth is $77m, which obviously is not enough to support his lavish lifestyle with 12
homes, a private island, private jet, 15 cars.
Epstein was "let go" by Bear Sterns because of his involvement in an insider trading case involving Edgar Bronfman, whose
firm Seagram was in a hostile takeover bid of another firm. Bronfman, former president of World Jewish Congress, and his two
daughters are investors in NXIVM which was recently charged with sex trafficking and other corruptions. Bronfman and Les Wexner,
the single largest investor in Epstein's "hedge fund", were co-founders of the Zionist org. Mega. All these people are in one
way or another connected with Israel.
I suspect Epstein and Bronfman were in fact running an international sex trafficking-racketeering ring on behalf of Mossad.
That would explain his mysterious source of wealth. His little black book is rumored to include 1,500 names of who's who in
politics, business and arts, and includes royalty, several foreign presidents and a famous prime minister.
Acosta needs to show some integrity and resign. But of course, if he had any, he would never have signed that plea bargain
to begin with.
First Mueller, now Epstein, two chances for Barr to turn the Deep State inside out, upside down once and for all. Will he
do it? I have my doubts. William Barr's father, Donald Barr, was the one who recruited Jeffrey Epstein, a two time college dropout,
to be a calculus and physics teacher at the prestigious Dalton School in NYC when he was the headmaster there. Donald Barr,
born Jewish but "converted" to Catholicism, was later ousted by a group of "progressive" parents at Dalton for being too conservative.
But he was the one who gave Epstein the foot in the door. From there he got to teach the son of Bear Stern's CEO Ace Greenberg,
and was recruited by the latter to work at Bear Sterns.
I wouldn't count out the CIA here. It is telling that one of Epstein's havens was overseas, several of them. These are locations
where the CIA could legally operate. After collecting dirt, they could then funnel some of it selectively to the Israelis for
distribution so the CIA could maintain plausible deniability while having a wall of separation between themselves and the Mossad-picked
third party that leaked the info.
In fact, this is the most plausible scenario; it fits with everything we know: 1) "intelligence" reportedly told Acosta to
back off 2) Epstein has been linked to the CIA 3) some of these locations were overseas, giving the CIA a legal justification
for spying 4) these were largely American politicians and American allies 5) the CIA reportedly threatened Trump when he came
into office by implying they would leak stuff on him: the Micheal Wolfe book, Fire and Fury I believe it was, related a story
of Trump being pressured to set up a meeting with the CIA where he'd speak to them and, essentially, pledge loyalty to them
because they would be his enemies otherwise (that's treason, btw); Trump dutifully complied 6) Epstein's mysterious wealth and
property management would have attracted CIA attention long ago, meaning they should have been aware of this unless they helped
set it up, including the guy's fake wealth (a front to get close to the powerful) anyone got a tax return for this guy?
This smells like CIA-Mossad joint op. If it were solely Mossad, the CIA should have stepped in and broken up this guy's little
operation considering his targets. They should have followed up by either eliminating Epstein as a message to Mossad not to
leak any of their dirt or threatened Epstein with punishment if he leaked or continued his activities. Tellingly, they covered
for the guy.
Also, does this sorry state of affairs make it more likely that Trump will "Wag the Dog" on Iran? Would the Epstein arrest
have even happened if Trump had done Bibi's bidding and attacked Iran when the False Flag of the drone shoot down had been teed
up for him like a driver smacking a golf ball. Conspiracy Theories is all we have left in the crumbling Empire of Lust and Greed.
Perhaps I'm just paranoid.
Milchan was involved in a number of other thefts as well as arms sales on behalf of the Jewish state
One of many apparently.
The scum described here was rewarded with becoming the mayor of Jerusalem.
We've been involved in everything we've been asked to do [re Israel].
[Dad] went and he bought all of the equipment from the plant. It ended up being shipped to Israel. Because you know at
that time, there was a complete embargo from the United States, and what little [the Israelis] got– well Most of what
they got were smuggled in.Most of them were illegal, all the arms. That's what Teddy Kollek did. That was his job before
he became a mayor [of Jerusalem]. He was a master smuggler. And he was good. Oh was he good! [laughter]
The honey trap is one of the most powerful (and legitimate) ways to compromise public officials, including heads of state.
Epstein is almost certainly Mossad.
This has been the talk and pretty obvious conclusion now for some time. Of COURSE Epstein was/is a MOSSAD asset if not agent.
What's more his usefullness to them isn't over yet, especially if Trump is one of the names he has.
I think if Trump caves next false flag and has a go at Iran, it will imply that Trump is dirty and Epstein can prove it.
I'm saying MOSSAD could be behind Epstein going down now as it makes his blakmail potential an imperitive. Hopefully Trump is
clean and there are indications he is. If not then he just lost any ability to resist whatever the zippers now want of him.
The sort of influence Zionist "Israel" needs to wield and does requires exactly such an interconnected and multilayered stable
of highly placed assets. Redundancy built in and how else do you think they manage to control so much AND avoid accountability?
They cast a wide net. But you knew that I think.
@Tired
of Not Winning deal with one of Epstein's attorneys because he had "been told" to back off, that Epstein was above his pay
grade. "I was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to leave it alone," he told his interviewers'
#4 Offshore Tax Schemes / Money Laundering
Deutsche Bank seems to be the Gordian Knot of financial filth and corruption. Epstein was a client of Deutsche Bank's 'special
services department' same as Trump and Kushner ..same Deutsche bank as already fined for money laundering.
Possible Epstein and whoever was behind him engaged in all of these. If congress is going to question Acosta .first question
should be who told him Epstein belonged to intelligence.
That 2002 New York piece Phil mentioned has some great tid-bits:
For more than ten years, he's been linked to Manhattan-London society figure Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of the mysteriously
deceased media titan Robert Maxwell
He is an enthusiastic member of the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations.
Indicative of globalism, Zionism and Jewish group interest.
those close to him say the reason he quit his board seat at the Rockefeller Institute was that he hated wearing a suit.
Obviously a falsely contrived reason, wonder what the deal was here
"I invest in people – be it politics or science. It's what I do," he has said to friends. And his latest prize addition
is the former president [Bill Clinton].
Certainly suggestive of an intelligence operative mindset.
Before Clinton, Epstein's rare appearances in the gossip columns tended to be speculation as to the true nature of his
relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell. While they are still friends, the English tabloids have postulated that Maxwell has
longed for a more permanent pairing and that for undetermined reasons Epstein has not reciprocated in kind. "It's a mysterious
relationship that they have," says society journalist David Patrick Columbia. "In one way, they are soul mates, yet they
are hardly companions anymore. It's a nice conventional relationship, where they serve each other's purposes."
Friends of the two say that Maxwell, whose social life has always been higher-octane than Epstein's, lent a little pizzazz
to the lower-profile Epstein. Indeed, at a party at Maxwell's house, her friends say, one is just as apt to see Russian
ladies of the night as one is to see Prince Andrew.
Another interpretation is that his combination with Ghislaine was bringing a bit too much public attention to Epstein and
his activities and therefore it was decided to let things die down a bit.
in 1976, he dropped everything and reported to work at Bear Stearns, where he started off as a junior assistant to a
floor trader at the American Stock Exchange. His ascent was rapid.
At the time, options trading was an arcane and dimly understood field, just beginning to take off. To trade options,
one had to value them, and to value them, one needed to be able to master such abstruse mathematical confections as the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For Epstein, breaking down such models was pure sport, and within just a few years he
had his own stable of clients. "He was not your conventional broker saying 'Buy IBM' or 'Sell Xerox,' " says Bear Stearns
CEO Jimmy Cayne. "Given his mathematical background, we put him in our special-products division, where he would advise
our wealthier clients on the tax implications of their portfolios. He would recommend certain tax-advantageous transactions.
He is a very smart guy and has become a very important client for the firm as well."
In 1980, Epstein made partner, but he had left the firm by 1981. Working in a bureaucracy was not for him
Obviously, important facts are being left out. He is a talented options analyst but they have him advising clients on investment
structures to save taxes? Why wouldn't they put him on principal trades for Bear if he was such an options whiz?
And why did he leave? Trading firms are notoriously NOT bureaucracies, and anyone with a talent for making money, especially
in the early 80s, would find few fetters. Whole story not given here.
In 1982, according to those who know Epstein, he set up his own shop, J. Epstein and Co., which remains his core business
today. The premise behind it was simple: Epstein would manage the individual and family fortunes of clients with $1 billion
or more. Which is where the mystery deepens. Because according to the lore, Epstein, in 1982, immediately began collecting
clients. There were no road shows, no whiz-bang marketing demos – just this: Jeff Epstein was open for business for those
with $1 billion–plus.
Getting clients in asset management is a cut-throat business. But Epstein did not even have to make a pretense of competing
for business?
His firm would be different, too. He was not here just to offer investment advice; he saw himself as the financial architect
of every aspect of his client's wealth – from investments to philanthropy to tax planning to security to assuaging the guilt
and burdens that large sums of inherited wealth can bring on.
the conditions for investing with Epstein were steep: He would take total control of the billion dollars, charge a flat
fee, and assume power of attorney to do whatever he thought was necessary to advance his client's financial cause. And he
remained true to the $1 billion entry fee. According to people who know him, if you were worth $700 million and felt the
need for the services of Epstein and Co., you would receive a not-so-polite no-thank-you from Epstein.
Minimum $1b invested, no track record by the asset manager, and he claims the clients give him carte blanche? This is not
normal wealth management.
Turning down giant new stakes just because they fall short of $1b? Nonsense. The name of the game on the buy side on Wall
Street is size, because that gives you negotiating power with the sell side.
Epstein runs a lean operation, and those close to him say that his actual staff – based here in Manhattan at the Villard
House (home to Le Cirque); New Albany, Ohio; and St. Thomas, where he reincorporated his company seven years ago (now called
Financial Trust Co.) – numbers around 150 and is purely administrative. When it comes to putting these billions to work
in the markets, it is Epstein himself making all the investment calls – there are no analysts or portfolio managers, just
twenty accountants to keep the wheels greased and a bevy of assistants – many of them conspicuously attractive young women
– to organize his hectic life. So assuming, conservatively, a fee of .5 percent (he takes no commissions or percentages)
on $15 billion, that makes for a management fee of $75 million a year straight into Jeff Epstein's pocket.
Epstein makes all the daily investment decisions on $15b, yet no one on the sell side knows him? In other words Epstein does
not invest in new issues. But new issues are the gravy for making money on the buy side – think IPO discount. This is not normal
asset management.
some have speculated that Wexner is the primary source of Epstein's lavish life – but friends leap to his defense. "Let
me tell you: Jeffrey Epstein has other clients besides Wexner. I know because some of them are my clients," says noted m&a
lawyer Dennis Block of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft. "I sent him a $500 million client a few years ago and he wouldn't
take him. Said the account was too small. Both the client and I were amazed. But that's Jeffrey."
You can always trust the word of an M&A lawyer. They would never mislead anyone for advantage.
he found himself spending there [in Santa Fe], talking elementary particle physics with his friend Murray Gell-Mann,
a Nobel Prize–winning physicist and co-chair of the science board at the Santa Fe Institute.
his covey of scientists that inspires Epstein's true rapture. Epstein spends $20 million a year on them
Gerald Edelman won the Nobel Prize for physiology and medicine in 1972 and now presides over the Neurosciences Institute
in La Jolla. "Jeff is extraordinary in his ability to pick up on quantitative relations," says Edelman. "He came to see
us recently. He is concerned with this basic question: Is it true that the brain is not a computer? He is very quick."
Stephen Kosslyn, a psychologist at Harvard. Epstein flew up to Kosslyn's laboratory in Cambridge this year to witness
an experiment that Kosslyn was conducting and Epstein was funding. Namely: Is it true that certain Tibetan monks are capable
of holding a distinct mental image in their minds for twenty minutes straight?
Epstein has a particularly close relationship with Martin Nowak, an Austrian biology and mathematics professor who heads
the theoretical-biology program at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton. Nowak is examining how game theory can
be used to answer some of the basic evolutionary questions – e.g., why, in our Darwinian society, does altruistic behavior
exist?
Danny Hillis, an MIT-educated computer scientist whose company, Thinking Machines, was at the forefront of the supercomputing
world in the eighties, and who used to run R&D at Walt Disney Imagineering
An intelligence operative would certainly have no interest in cultivating, buying or blackmailing scientists in the fields
of nuclear physics, controlling human behavior or supercomputers!
And by the way, the need to explain "altruism" in terms of game theory is a tip-off that Epstein and Nowak have no spiritual
life and cannot comprehend of it in other people. No surprise to find "do what thou wilt" as his guiding principle.
Strangely enough, given his scientific obsessions, he is a computer-phobe and does not use e-mail.
Before taking a big position, Epstein will usually fly to the country in question. He recently spent a week in Germany
meeting with various government officials and financial types, and he has a trip to Brazil coming up in the next few weeks.
On all of these trips, he flies alone in his commercial-jet-size 727.
Friends of Epstein say he is horrified at the recent swell of media attention around him
He has never granted a formal interview, and did not offer one to this magazine, nor has his picture appeared in any
publication.
The final straws. If he's not an intelligence operative, he's doing everything he can to give that impression!
He "flies alone." LOL! Poor Jeffrey, he so ronery!
When Bob Maxwell died at sea or disappeared it turned out that he had used or stolen every penny of ALL the pensions of his
employees .which were never recovered. After her father was given a state funeral in Israel (not England where he and his family
lived and worked) there followed a 2 year court case in which his 6 children were finally excused from any responsibility for
these pensions, despite inheriting his money and two of them working in his companies.
And now Ghislaine turns up as a US socialite, multi-decade pedophile procurer and international human trafficker. Nice family
.nice values! ...
Since the Little SAINT James pedo-island
that was allegedly owned by Jeffery Epstein did not have an airport (the closest one being
Curil E King airport in St. Thomas (about ten miles away)) that
means the 'guests' would either have to take a boat trip or a helicopter trip. Since Little SAINT James does have a
clearly marked helicopter landing site at the north central east part of the island (when viewed on google maps in satellite
view) one would suspect that is how these so-called 'guests' arrived at this pedo-island.
Those activities are not mutually exclusive. It could be #5: All of the above. We all know how Mossad operates. Nothing is
beyond them. The end justifies the means.
Acosta is a distraction .and possibly innocent since he did what he was told which was to go easy on an intelligence asset.
Forget the small fry and concentrate on the real criminals please.
Senator Chuck Schumer, self-described as Israel's "protector" in the Senate, is loudly calling for the resignation of
Acosta. He just might change his tune if it turns out that Israel is a major part of the story.
Schumer would already have been tipped of if is was an Israeli operation. It's an anti Trump thing.
The fact that the case has been moved to the Southern District of New York validates your cynicism.
Has the Only Democracy in the Middle East decided to sacrifice Epstein (he can be sprung later, his jig was up anyway) so
that an Epstein circus can replace Russiagate?
From renfro, the following great point:
"If congress is going to question Acosta .first question should be who told him Epstein belonged to intelligence."
, renfro! Thanks & my respect.
Because I have special enthusiasm for renfro's advice to "Congress," such will not fly with "congress."
Quote: "It will be very interesting to see just how far and how deep the investigation into Epstein and his activities goes."
Reply: We'll get a glistening kabuki show, with lots of wailing [walls], thunder and lightening, twists and turns, but, in
the end [as this case will go on and on – Harvey Weinstein, anyone?] people will forget about it.
I fear that this is all rapidly turning into a modified limited hangout. A whole lot of dirt will be inconclusively exposed
and, even though everyone will have a pretty good idea of what happened, there won't be enough will to do anything about it.
The caveat will be when the financial system finally implodes. A horde of jobless and desperate people will rapidly lose
their patience for being governed by a bunch of incompetent pedophile oligarchs, but until then everyone will just go with the
flow.
@Rabbitnexus
ut it looks more like a millionaire club. Intelligence agencies prefer to use secretaries and other less visible people as spies.
I would look for some association of friends of Israel, something that has lots of money, wants lots of power, spies on people,
both enemies and friends, and has some special love for Israel.
I maybe wrong, but this does not seem to me to be a single intelligence agency of any country. It operates in an age old
method of a secret society, like mafia or masons. It is neither mafia nor masons, but some that especially likes to help Israel
and probably created it. I guess there are such friends of Israel organizations, several.
In social science it is often assumed that people are selfish. The attempt to show that altruism contributes positively to
the prospects for survival and reproduction is important in defeating the presumption of underlying selfishness. It's not a
very deep idea. If ten people carry a gene that causes one of them to throw himself on a hand-grenade, thereby saving the other
nine, that gives the gene a better chance of being passed along than if the grenade goes off and most or all of the carriers
are killed. If interested, see the book Evolution of the Social Contract by Brian Skyrms.
First a question: who says the telephone numbers were the sort only an intimate or ultimate insider would have? Queen Elizabeth's
would surely have had to be the Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Sandringham or Balmoral switchboard.
Then there is what a sleazy or dangerous guy like Epstein might be expected to do, namely toss in a whole lot of names (with
or without true up to date direct line numbers) to confuse and provide diversion and cover. Cute though isn't that he was supposed
still to be using an old fashioned address book in the 21st Century rather than an encrypted or at least password protected
smartphone.
The Palm Beach mansion Epstein owned was rigged with hidden cameras in some of the guest bedrooms according to an article
I read a couple of years back.
Im glad we have forums like this so the word can get out: honeypot operations are not a thing of just the KGB/Cold War past,
but of the Soros/intel orgs/globalist/Establishment present.
Future politicians and wealthy businesspersons need to be aware of this. The Bible has a great old verse that goes something
like, "Be sure your sins will find you out".
"Pedophilia"? Has anyone accused Epstein of mistreating pre-pubescent girls? I don't think so. If Mr. Giraldi wants to deplore
what Epstein is accused of, fine. But don't try to confuse us by suggesting that he attacked children rather than underage teens.
@follyofwar
even Israel understand this would not be regime change business as usual.
U.S. war gamers for years have been saying there's no way the U.S. could significantly "win" the war. It would surely drive
gas prices way up, and wake up the American public, creating a probably insurmountable political problem for Trump. Israel is
liable to get pelted from all sides -- Hezbollah has promised to attack in the event of war, and there are probably ways of
striking from Syria and Iran. Then there are the wild cards of Russia and China. No one knows for sure what Putin would do if
Iran were attacked, but he could certainly turn Israel into a parking lot very quickly if he wanted to.
Well founded scepticism. Still, now we know the extent of what Bernie Madoff got away with perhaps someone who was clever
and charming and appealed to those who wouldn't have invested with Madoff just might have put together enough billion dollar
portfolios to be able, as long as he managed his tax affairs well to become very rich during the 80s. It would be interesting
to know how he handled the October 1988 melt down.
One aspect of this entire Epstein Talmudic child abuse saga that really p*sses me off is the active participation of the
IRS. It was the same with Madoff and Maxwell. None of these talmudic ponzi's could have gotten off the ground if these gangsters
had been correctly filing all the correct tax forms like all the other goy schmucks.
Since 2012, with the Statute of Limitations retroactively extended 3 years to a total of 6 years backwards to 2006, all undeclared
foreign bank accounts of US persons or green card holders on IRS FBAR forms (Foreign Bank Account Report), and since 2012 form
8948 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets), which is even more intrusive, face IRS penalties of 50% of the highest
annual balance, and many tax sinners have been forced to pay more in taxes than these bank accounts ever contained. This is
the tip of the iceberg compared to jewish charity and foundation and estate fraud.
Epstein supposedly was "gifted" the NY mansion from his "mentor" at the defunct and fraudulent money changer Bear Stearns
for what must have been more than 50 Million. Rick Wiles drilled down in detail into this gift on
Thursday .
These kinds of shenanigans, like flying "friends" around the world to your various child abuse temples in your private jets,
are taxable gifts. In fact double taxed, taxed first as income and second with the gift tax. The Lolita Express could never
be declared as a business expense either.
The entire rotten affair stinks on every level and it gets more putrid at every layer of talmudic control is peeled bank.
At each level more Jews and Zionists come wiggling out and scurrying off to disappear from social and dinosaur media. But also
as each layer gets peeled bank we get closer to the core, which with ever more certainty is ritual child sacrifice used for
talmudic control.
Forget the small fry and concentrate on the real criminals please.
It's going to be difficult
Maurene Comey, one of the lead prosecutors who is handling the Epstein case, happens to be James Comey's daughter, the ex
FBI boss.
It remains to be seen if she will be giving Bill Clinton special treatment, just like her father gave to Hillary's "lock her
up".
Moreover, Judge Berman who preside the case, happens to be also a Clinton appointee (in 1998).
In 1982, according to those who know Epstein, he set up his own shop, J. Epstein and Co., which remains his core business
today. The premise behind it was simple: Epstein would manage the individual and family fortunes of clients with $1 billion
or more. Which is where the mystery deepens. Because according to the lore, Epstein, in 1982, immediately began collecting
clients. There were no road shows, no whiz-bang marketing demos – just this: Jeff Epstein was open for business for those
with $1 billion–plus.
The fly in the ointment of this carefully cultivated cover story:
"Statistics published in Forbes magazine's annual survey of America's billionaires expose this little known but shocking
reality. In 1982 there were 13 billionaires; in 1983 15″
There's no need for anything so crude as either the head of the CIA or FBI reporting directly to the Mossad when both agencies
are riddled from top to bottom with de facto Israeli espionage agents.
It's a Fool's Errand to think you can solve Epstein like a puzzle. Most, like Giraldi, are engaged in bias confirmation.
That isn't to say his speculations are entirely wrong but that we're all part of the play in one way or another.
In my view timing is rarely if ever coincidental. That seems glaringly obvious here. The Epstein scandal was resurrected
now for a reason. I suspect that like the Academic Admissions scandal the Permanent Government is throwing its weight around.
Warning (once again) that it can inflict casualties if exposing its 2016 malefactions is taken too far.
Weinstein served the same function -- with poor Meryl Streep the Sgt. Schultz headliner.
Put yourself in the mind of the various filth (e.g. Brennan) implicated in attempting to throw the election to Hillary and,
failing that, frame-up and destroy the duly elected POTUS. They think they're entitled to a pass given all they've turned a
blind eye to over the years.
Epstein's arrest strikes me as a shot across the bow in the context of the upcoming IG Report/Durham Investigation. I'm not
picking on Giraldi but all of his fans here should note he's been Mumble Mouth at best on those malefactions. Nor am I saying
that isn't the wise move for him.
The scandal that needs to be buried is that they built a global surveillance (and storage) apparatus, including of the American
people. There was widespread, systematic abuse of it during the Obama Administration ('000s of people). Whatever limitations
there were, effectively Mutually Assured Destruction with the establishment factions keeping an eye on each other, collapsed
as they all united to stop Trump.
Epstein, like Weinstein and the Academic Admissions scandal, is both distraction and a warning to the Governing and Business
Classes -- keep you heads down and mouths shut about these powerful intelligence/national security entities.
I generally think waiting to see how matters fall out is a very good idea. But when I read the information of Mr. Acosta's
interview, I sank a bit. Because it strongly suggested vested interest by the government – not to get to the truth.
That even the circus that usually comes to surround even credible cases will so muddy the waters as to avoid a rendering
of what actually took place.
And given how compromised the collusion matter is was or will continue to be – the stakes may be higher here such that muddying
the waters will be some relief for those involved.
Myth of brilliance has been created to explain origin of his wealth . But even that shit was not enough , more myths had
to be created like capacity of having brilliant discussions with Nobel laureate ( Physics) or with great educators , and with
world renowned economist .
I guess authorities can get away with saying what F lies they can say until it blows up on their faces . Jew thinks goym
are stupid , so tell them whatever come to mind like having a great autonomous brain that doesn't depend on education or training
or publicly visible job to figure out the finances , economy, hard computer , physical and cognitive sciences and earning millions
,
while busy with
1 taking nude picture and storing them in 3-4 different areas
2 ferrying big guns from 3 different continents to Orgy Islsnd
3 Getting their intimate information , charting them connecting them and storing them
4 having parties with semi nude girls but attended by celebrities
5 holding message parkour parties from girls procured from shanty , trailer park ,
6 having serial girl friends
– there are more .
Oh yeah!!! No wonder people under pressure , lack of information , from removal of connecting dots , undue respect for glory
money power , fear for being seen as ' naysayer ' or pessimist or low IQ uninformed , and fear of public ridicule can believe
or can feign to believe the wildest whoopers / lies/ plaint shit dished out by the upper echelon of the society .
( then we wonder why people believe in UFO , big foot ,
, personal angels , apparitions, or America is a force for good )
Epstein in my opinion is a mossad officer whose agenda is to compromise zio/US politicians for the benefit of Israel and
in this he is just one of many in the zio/US and in fact the zio/US gov is infested with dual Israeli citizens whose first and
only loyalty is to Israel.
Read the book Blood in the Water by Joan Mellen about the attack on the USS Liberty by Israel and the US government to see
how intertwined the mossad and the CIA are and remember the joint Israeli and zio/US gov attack on the WTC on 911, the zionists
rule America!
"CIA and the Russian FSB services are obvious candidates, but they would have no particular motive to acquire an agent like
Epstein."
This is an assertion with nothing to back it up. The CIA, in particular, has every reason to use an 'Epstein' for its nefarious
purposes as it IS the deep state or at least a major part of it.
The CIA owns the drug trade in Afghanistan and Mena, Arkansas can easily be connected to CIA activities along with gun running
in Mexico. The CIA is the official criminal organization within the US gov't and it went rogue decades ago. It can afford to
have multiple 'Epstein' clones running around to make sure it can control the US political class to not investigate its activities
too closely.
The CIA and Israel are indistinguishable from each other. Israel runs US foreign policy via the CIA and their own Mossad.
Come on, Phil Giraldi. Do you believe in an independent American justice system? What a joke. It's corrupt to the bone. Weinstein,
Epstein, Maxwell, Adelson, Saban, Koch you name it, have America in their pocket like Sharon used to say. During a furious beef
between Sharon and Shimon Peres, Sharon turned toward Peres, saying "every time we do something you tell me Americans will do
this and will do that. I want to tell you something obvious, don't worry about American pressure on Israel, we, the Jewish people,
control America, and the Americans know it."
Could anyone but an intelligence agency get away with all of the following: 1) harassing witnesses (forcing their cars off
the road public highways), 2) searching the trash of police officers in an attempt to find dirt on the officers and 3) obtaining
a sweet heart plea bargain when the police had dozens of victims (who didn't even know each other) telling the exact same story
and ready to testify – as well as photos of nude adolescents seized in a search.
Who could have done such things and got away with it.
Epstein must have been an operative. The only question is: for whom did he work?
Gasp!!! Are you suggesting sweet, innocent Monica was blowing Slick Willie for reasons other than his taking advantage
of her?
In his book Gideon's Spies the late Welsh author Gordon Thomas claimed Mossad had tapes of the same for blackmail
reasons. However, this has never been confirmed.
Epstein will "cop a plea" and avoid a trial. That is certain.
A couple of things I'd like to ask the brilliant Epstein: Why did you engage in your nefarious sexual activity in New York
State and Florida? The "age of consent" in both states is 18. In New Jersey, PA and other states, it's 16. Now US federal law
prohibits sex between people 12 to 16 if one of the participants is 4 years or more older than the other. The law says "between"
not inclusive of 16. So 16 might be OK. That's young enough.
Also Jeffrey, why didn't you take your "Lolita Express" to Tel Aviv? It's legal in Israel and no one checks up of the actual
ages of the "working girls." And most are the tall blond/blue and slim types from Eastern Europe.
"Pedophile" is incorrect, as a commenter noted. The age cutoff is 13 for pedophilia. DSM-5. These escapades comprise different
serious felonies. However, the Epstein colleagues can rest easy, if Rush's instinct about prosecuting Hillary is correct. Rush
has said that prosecuting Hillary will not happen, because it would "roil" the nation. Same here. I expect to see a lot of MSM
passive voice, and intransitive verbs, but no roiling. "The car drove off the side of the bridge."
Asimov's father once wrote a book called "The Sensuous Dirty Old Man." Hmm .
More seriously, did it ever occur to you that someone might want to know your source before accepting your claim that Mueller
"supposedly classified Epstein as an informant"? Supposed by whom?? Eh????
believes Epstein allegedly preyed on Araoz when she was 14 because she was vulnerable.
"She had just transferred to a new school and didn't know anybody," attorney Kimberly Lerner said in an interview. "She
didn't have a father. Her mother was very poor. She was from a single-parent home. She was really struggling, and she wanted
to be a model and an actress. He absolutely preyed upon the most vulnerable."
@Lou123
n Ring' which supposedly was providing child prostitutes to high level US politicians who in turn were then being blackmailed
by the existence of surreptitious recordings having been made of these incidents by US intelligence agencies.
The below newspaper article explains what ultimately happened to the lead investigator of the case. Gary Caradori had been
hired by the Nebraska state legislature to find out what had actually transpired regarding the alleged Nebraska based ring.
Needless to say his investigation was unexpectedly 'cut short'.
What if .Acostoa is just a stooge, In fact he probably insisted on SOME jail time here. Otherwise the rest of the US "justice"
system could care less. Even NYC is complicit. It's a snow job of theater, this democracy is. It's a joke. It only looks like
a democracy on tv.
Mossad, CIA, FBI, MI5, who cares? All of these are criminal enterprises, just like the governments providing them cover and
"legitimacy".
Really interesting aspect of any elite in-fighting is that it exposes an "uncomfortable truth" that there is only one elite
running the show. That there is only Republicratic party, which regularly organizes (for the benefit of sheeple still believing
in "democracy") puppet shows called elections, where ostensibly Democrats battle Republicans. In fact, both are just two hands
of the same puppet master. That's why the same criminals are prominent at all "Republican" and "Democratic" functions.
The other thing that the story of that Epstein character clearly shows is that all those "respectable people" are nothing
more than rich criminals, and the only reason they aren't in jail is that they have enough money to get away with any crime.
@Talha
refully scripted to identify girls who could be vulnerable to manipulation, have a chaotic family life, need money, need social
connections for career advancement . The female procurer would report to Epstein and receive instructions to abandon or continue
to recruit the "candidate". A female procurer is used as she will not arouse suspicion in a young girl. These are simple techniques
that have been used for centuries worldwide. A father must cultivate a close relationship with his daughter, know when she is
OK or not OK, and most importantly be an example of a quality man that his daughter will compare to every man she meets(being
overprotective merely makes her more vulnerable).
Meh. Get ready for a tidal wave of MSM articles talking about how the deranged, alt-right internet conspiracy theorists are
having a field day with the Epstein case, after which your average American moron will be programmed to just smirk and roll
his eyes whenever the facts touched on in this article are brought up.
Ms. Aroaz's father was deceased before she met the female procurer
Well, then I take back what I said – obviously can't blame a dead man for not being there.
A father must cultivate a close relationship with his daughter, know when she is OK or not OK, and most importantly be
an example of a quality man that his daughter will compare to every man she meets
I don't know if Giraldi is a plant or not. However, the first law of understanding "intelligence agents" or ex spooks is
to always be suspicious of everyone. The group he belongs too seems legitimate enough but we have been set up before. I've be
reading Giraldi a long time and he has a similar "theme" in every piece but he also leaves small things out that should be in
his articles. The Devil is in the Details and man with his experience should be "Detailed Oriented."
He should know about Epstein and Muller and a few other things since this is the stock and trade of all intelligence agencies.
The interesting thing about this case is, the left wants it exposed because they think it'll take down Trump, the right wants
it exposed because they think it'll take down Bill Clinton. My guess is, more Dems will go down than Republicans. Trump was
a Democrat and a big supporter of Clintons and Chuck Schumer before he decided to run as a GOP in 2016. He could've gone either
way.
Sex scandals tend to plague the left, especially sexual perversions like porn, prostitution, child sex or gay sex. It's coz
the left is dominated by Jews who are prone to sexual perversion, and also because liberals believe feelings and passion trump
all, anything you do is not your fault as long as you are just following your feelings.
One reason Trump is so pro-Israel and hell bent on attacking Iran could be because the Jews have something on him, which
is not too hard since he's been in business with them for a lifetime and is as unctuous and unscrupulous as any of them. They
might be getting impatient with him on Iran and wants someone who can get the job done like Mike Pence to take over. Epstein
could take down both Clinton and Trump, Clinton has outlived his usefulness to them since Hillary didn't win, he'll be the sacrificial
lamb while they take out Trump for Pence.
Republic asked the following critical question which should not be cast away:
"If Epstein worked for Mossad, why wasn't he tipped off in Paris not to return to the US?"
! Mossad deception is sophisticated & patterns of telling a lie upon another improved lie ar characteristic.
Also, Mossad's implemented practices/techniques are adaptable to circumstances which seem supportive of what dumb goyim consider
"justice served," but they actually benefit Israel.
A thought. I figure Epstein knew what fate awaited him prior to landing at Teterboro Airport tarmac.
Well, Giraldi did work there and would have heard people complaining about the presence and influence of Israeli spies. Colonel
Kiatowoski's book about the presence of Israeli spies in the Pentagon made it clear Pentagon personnel resented the Israeli
spies but could do nothing about it.

They're doing a Weimar regime redux. That was the apex of their heyday, when the children of Germany were their playthings,
and Berlin was a giant brothel- girls and boys for sale, especially the ones whose fathers had died in their holocaust

@j2
has maybe 10 Israeli immigrants or American Jews who work for him. Each has 10-15 American Jews who can be called upon. So it's
a wide network.
You're right that clerks secretaries accountants have great access to information. But the Israeli system is widespread.
Plus, the information needn't always come from Jews.
It really does exist. There's an Israeli who hosts sabbath dinners in Los Angeles. He invites American Jews to be briefed
on what's going on in Israel. I'm positive he also recruits agents in place he spots at those dinners. Guests who have no access
to anything useful at least get to feel they're participating in the cause.
@AnonFromTN
he only reason they aren't in jail is that they have enough money to get away with any crime.
True. And this Epstein coverage is bringing out more nooks and crannies of how the really rich control systems for their
own benefit.
Like why was Epsteins tax rate on his NY mansion only 0.6% .why is Bill de Blasio tax rate on his mansion only 0.2% ..when
other NY'ers taxrate is 12%.

There is regular sex and "deviation", pornography, pedophilia
There is drugs, illegal and legal, hard and soft
Then there is finance, always pimping, always on exploitation, abuse of minors, as young as not yet born, globally, and to
be comitted legally. Pedophilia and drugs are soft core, barely leveling at the sock suspenders of our financiers.
A few hundred of the top tier Wall Street-ers belong in jail, as rats eating their own tail, they only can be administered
there. Starting with Mnuchin. Epstein should be let alone, so he can decoy a little longer, and await his turn, pecking order
obliges. Ah, the public sector, the ones with faces, real fungi are minding the dark.
Linked on this same site today, Michael Hudson, seems to attribute Empire and financial capitalism, debt, the demise of the
dollar, to Trump. ?. Of all men, another scripted clown gets the blame. The shredding is spoiling the carpet.
If unz.com is so willingly pointing out the third liners, as Maya sacrifices to the deities in the shades, then there you
have one more reason the rag is impervious to censorship.
Gardner's and retail store clerks have personal phone numbers of the rich and famous. For instance, clerks at high
end retail clothing stores are supposed to cultivate shoppers on a personal level so they can call them up with the great news
of items they'd like to buy.
Actors producers directors numbers and home addresses can be obtained from people who work at their agents accountants PR
and attorney offices
Police departments have access to all phone numbers. Most of the Find a Number websites don't have the private number of
celebrities. But there are plenty of people who can access all the cell phone records.
How to get away with blackmailing without blackmailing.
First, you need to recruit people in. Have lots of massive parties at your spacious home for wealthy men. Have lots of women
mostly teens and under aged.
Sooner or later there will be some mingling going on. Some billionaire will get handsy and end up in a room with a girl ..and
hidden cameras.
Epstein informs him later the girl was really 15, but offers him a nice, neat way to buy silence: a large allocation to his
hedge fund, which charges 5% ..with power of attorney for himself.
To ease the pain for the black mailee Epstein puts the money in something as safe as treasury notes or money market fund.
Then Epstein collects his 'fees' ..x millions on the interest from treasury notes or etc..
Soooo no traceable blackmail payoff checks or wire transfers from his fellow pedos.
Epstein may also try this on other important political figures, mayors, prosecutors, etc. He doesnt blackmail them to 'invest'
in his fund but has them in his pocket.
The evidence would probably be in a deposit box in his offshore Caribbean bank.

Just what I was going to write, but you got there first.
Thank you very much. pedophilia stops at the victims 13th birthday. Then it's various degrees of molestation of a minor .
It's usually 13 and 14, then 15. Then 16 and 17. In some states the age of consent is 16. Epstein's activities weren't just
molestation of minors. They were procuring for prostitution as well.
I have been meaning to ask this for a while, Dr. Giraldi, let’s say stuff you write about Israel is all true, you are ex-CIA,
then can we assume there are many like you or is that not the case? If that’s the case, then why none of them stand up and oppose?
Or are they too afraid of standing up for their country?
There are at least nine factions in the CIA concerning Israeli politics:
1. anti-Israel for emotional reasons (instinctive hostile feelings towards Jews, Judeophobia)
2. anti-Israel for ideological reasons (reasoned opposition towards Judaism and Zionism as doctrines)
3. anti-Israel for strategic reasons (bad for long-term American interests)
4. pro-Israel for emotional reasons (warm feelings towards Jews)
5. pro-Israel for ideological reasons (for instance, Christian Zionists)
6. pro-Israel for occult reasons (the world’s most powerful secret society mandates support as part of a grand mystical scheme)
7. pro-Israel for reasons of personal self-interest (issues concerning bribery, blackmail, careerism, etc.)
8. pro-Israel for strategic reasons (good for long-term American strategic interests)
9. pro-Israel for strategic reasons AND hostile to Jews (Jewish nationalists provide a counterweight to Jewish leftists in
the Diaspora, divide and conquer tactics)
Since the late 1940s, the pro-Israel factions in the CIA have easily dominated the anti-Israel (or Israel-skeptical) factions.
By the way, most CIA employees, including many high level employees, don't have a full understanding of what is going on
in the CIA, including knowledge of the most influential players and operations and their connections.
+ There have long been rumors of Epstein's possible ties to what Dick Cheney so memorably
described as the "dark side." As Vicky Ward disclosed in an excellent piece for the
Daily Beast , Alex Acosta told the Trump's vetting team that he was told to go lightly on
Epstein because he was "above his pay grade" and that " he belonged to
intelligence ." Given Epstein's enduring relationship with Dershowitz, we can perhaps
deduce the intelligence agency with which Epstein was allied
+ According to the NYT, Jeffrey Epstein keeps a framed photo of
MBS in his mansion. (Is anyone checking the flight logs of Air Lolita for Netanyahu's
travels?)
+ There's a lot of giddy talk about how the arrest of Jeffrey Epstein is a sign of the
collapse of the Establishment. I don't know. The Establishment started to crumble during the
French Revolution. It's been a slow, gravity-defying fall.
Interesting post in that it raises many of the key issues and how they may fit together.
Generally agrees with my initial (or maybe secondary) impression that this is result of
Trump triggering backmail clause by failing to act as required by those running the show.
But, I have I think a better theory more fits the situation. Acosta (the human
"sh*t-grenade) was hired because he knew stuff and knew people who knew stuff. Trump was being
blackmailed with Epstein affair - dems/cia/etc... It almost work, he almost attacked Iran, was
led to believe it could be done in a way that would not lead to war - likely by
you-know-who.
He balked and called their "bluff". They were not bluffing. Problem for them is that Trump
can maybe weather the sh*t-storm they can bring - comey/brennan/clapper/et al... For now, I am
inclined to side with Trump.
I don't know why but in spite of his lack of polish, he's brought some crude and interesting
results.
Epstein was just a young "dirty old man". Trump is innocent - can anybody point to any incident
where Trump committed a real felony, not some breach of landlord regulations, For all the
accusations of him being the capo di tutti capi, nothing has really stuck, so he gives the
impression of being a criminal but really isn't but it's good theatre. So my guess is that
Trump told Barr to go to it and bring Epstein in and bang him up for life. Reasons:
1. Trump was getting bored with Acosta
2. Epstein may drag down others - the Clintons being prime candiadates
3. This is a poke in the eye for Obama
4. Trump looks good when Epstein does the time he deserves
Meanwhile the anti-#resistance investigations role on and implicate Hillary for making false
statements and Obama for trying to fix the 2016 election.
Trump'll romp home in 2020. If Adelson, etc. tries to push another Republican candidate,
Trump'll run as an independent and probably still win. Trump now has his main "problems" by the
balls.
As for the Daily Beast they have an
article claiming that there was co-ordination between Trump and Russia instead of collusion
. I'd love some of the shit the author's been smoking, 'cos it's up there with S T Coleridges
Kubla Khan as a work of fantasy.
'Appalled' does not suffice any longer. All this shit is more than a mentally healthy Human
Being can bear - and in that fact lies also a motive to bombard the population 24/7 with shit
like that. Therefore it appears that this, too is part of an orchestrated effort to rile up
people against each other and destroy whatever peace still exists.
You could call it 'distraction' from insurmountable problems created by this specific
sub-species of Homo Sapiens. But I am not commenting about that.
I am as pissed as a decent person can get without losing its temper. But I am utterly
disgusted that this childfucker Epstein has soiled the name of one of my favorite Human Beings
in history:
Brian Epstein - the one person that gave Humanity The Beatles.
I can not emphasize enough how effed up this is. There must be a court order to rename him
into Jeffrey Childfucker, in order to protect the name of one of the greatest music managers
ever.
But I do concede to the fact, that this kind of damage might as well limited to people who
know who The Beatles were.
The wealthy class has defeated the poor class. What we are seeing now is a civil war in the
wealthy class. The Epstein business is just one of the skirmishes in that civil war.
Today's CJR media feed focuses on Acosta and the 2007 plea deal without mentioning either Bush
or Obama. Focus is still on Trump. Of course Acosta is now a member of the Trump
administration. But Trump was not in charge with this particular POS went down.
Trump is fighting for his life and money. Lose the next election and spend the rest of
both fighting imprisonment. What makes me think its time to remind people that the office
of POTUS has teeth?
"I was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to leave it alone,"
does not say he "worked for intelligence". It might just mean that "intelligence"
made the deal with him in return for information and that they then estimated the fall out
and cleaned up (ie took people that could be blackmailed out of sensitive
positions).
They don't care about the fall out any longer, so this now is allowed to blow up.
"The left is going wild thinking that this will "get Trump" but quite the opposite is
happening. . .
Now this story will run into 2020 largely damaging democrats into the 2020 election.
Trump's DOJ is running the operation."
That is my perception, although I am not a qualified observer.
But as to the "why now" of Epstein, surely it is 2020. As for Barr being a CIA kid,
that does give some pause, except he is working for Trump, and so presumably he is playing
his part in the 2020 event.
From what I have read and heard, Trump is not tainted by the Epstein story. The
attempts of those on the left or whatever (I can't even call it the left anymore) to
associate Trump with the Epstein story are very belabored. "Grabbing pussy" of adult women
who cluster around is not the same as recruiting young girls and teenagers and running sex
camps for grown-up boys such as Randy Andy, RAndy Bill, and other Randy boys.
To me the big question is why Dersh was part of the FOIA action to unseal the docs. If
just appearing in a photo with Epstein is enough for "the left" to try to hang Trump, the
Dersh is in a lot more image trouble, with him name on the plane manifest.
Is Trump's name on the plane log? I don't think so. So, imagewise Dersh is going to take
a big hit. And, by defending Trump last summer as he did, he has now associated himself
with both Trump and Epstein. Trump comes out clean. Dersh comes out Derty.
PS. Why is so much blacked out on the plane logs that have been published?
the Macow sounds "about right" to me, but only "about." I can very well imagine that
Dersh is taking orders from the JSP, but if he rode the Lolita Expres, he is in
trouble.
AFAIK Trump did not ride the Lolita Express. The rumors about raping a 13-year-old in
Epstein's apartment will have to become more than rumor to harm Trump, no matter how much
the left pushes an Epstein = Trump narrative.
As they pushed the Weinstein = Trump narrative. I.e., whenever you see Weinstein's
name, think "Trump." But I don't think that really worked except with the very ones who
were pushing that equation in the first place. In other words, auto-suggestion.
O @110 sez: "...every good gamblers knows to hedge their bets.
You bet equally on both wrestlers in the ring? You don't make much profit that way. Much
better to arrange who wins ahead of time with the competitors and the referee and then just
bet on the one everyone agrees to make the winner.
Sure, Trump was in on the fix, so even if he won the power elites still win, but that is
true for all of the other contestants in the primaries as well, with the possible exception
of Sanders. The problem is that the power elites have very specific plans, and those plans
depended upon their tool in the White House being Clinton, not Trump. It isn't that Trump
would be their enemy or anything silly like that, but rather that a Trump victory would not
resonate; would not synergize with the megatrends they were manufacturing within the
population.
On the contrary, the Trump victory introduced a societal forcing function that is
180° out of sync with the larger narrative the power elites were trying to create.
Trump was chosen to be the loser in the 2016 elections because his defeat would have had
the opposite effect, damping trends in society that the power elites wanted quashed and
reinforcing the ones that they wanted amplified. Hundreds of $billions in
entertainment-base narrative generation that have been fed to the public since 2016, and
had been in the production pipeline from years prior, were supposed to be reflected in the
real world by the victory of the first woman president. Instead that media is being fed to
the public while the top office in the world is occupied by an unrepentant pussy grabber.
The messaging is diametrically opposed and interferes with itself rather than reinforcing
itself.
Sure, Trump is still the tool of the power elites, but he is not the tool they were
planning on.
"I am trying to link Wexner with the Bronfman's (Seagrams Liquor Family) via a source
other than the Mega Group (which may not be credible, IDK)."
The existence of the Mega Group was revealed in the Wall Street Journal in 1998 under
the headline 'Titans of Industry Join Forces To Work for Jewish Philanthropy'. According to
the Journal , it was founded in 1991 by Wexler and Charles Bronfman.
Membership included Edgar Bronfman, the chairman of the World Jewish Congress, Charles
Bronfman, Edgar's brother and a top executive of the family's flagship Seagrams Corp.;
Leslie Wexler of Limited, Inc.; Charles Schusterman, chairman of Samson Investment Co. of
Tulsa, Oklahoma; Harvey "Bud" Meyerhoff, Baltimore real estate magnate; Laurence Tisch,
chairman of Loews Corp.; Max Fisher, the Detroit oil magnate and Republican Party
powerhouse; bagel magnate Max Lender; Leonard Abramson, the founder of U.S. Healthcare; and
hedge-fund manager Michael Steinhardt.
One of its so-called 'philanthropic' projects entitled "Wexner Analysis: Israeli
Communication Priorities 2003," was leaked to Electronic Intifada.
"...when they met in the Edgar Bronfman mansion in Manhattan. The head of the World
Jewish Congress hosted a meeting of the fifty richest and most powerful Jews of the US and
Canada. There was no press coverage, no limelight, just a few lines in the newspapers. The
gathered multibillionaires discussed the ways to achieve Jewish unity, and strengthen the
Jewish identity of American Jews, tersely reported Shlomo Shamir for Haaretz. They also
agreed to launch a PR program under the Orwellian codename of 'Truth' with the purpose of
influencing American public opinion regarding Israeli policies.
The megabucks call themselves 'Mega group'. This name appeared in the media a couple of
years ago, as a name for the secret Israeli mole in the upper reaches of the US
establishment. It came up in an overheard phone conversation, later denied by the Israeli
embassy in Washington, DC. The newshounds and spook watchers got it wrong. 'Mega' was not
an agent, Mega was the boss."
Defense Department Computer Network Among Top Sharers of Child Pornography
Defense Department computers are among the top distributors of child pornography. An
untold number of Department of Defense (DOD) employees and contractors have subscriptions
to child pornography websites, and the problem is apparently so pervasive it requires new
technical solutions to address it.
"Hundreds of DoD-affiliated individuals" were recently identified as suspects in child
pornography cases, according to an investigation by the Defense Criminal Investigative
Service.
So far, authorities have only looked into about 20 percent of these cases. But already,
they've found "several" individuals "using their government devices to download or share
said pornographic material."
Last year, an investigation by the National Criminal Justice Training Program found DOD
computers were among the top networks nationwide for peer-to-peer sharing of pornographic
images of minors. DOD's network ranked 19th out of 2,891 computer networks studied.
To prevent such widespread abuse going forward, the "End National Defense Network Abuse
Act" would "crack down on this activity by upgrading the training and technical capacity of
military criminal investigative organizations to confront the misuse of DoD computers,
facilities, and equipment," according to a press release. It would also arrange for DOD
authorities to work more closely with civilian law enforcement on these cases.
"The notion that the Department of Defense's network and Pentagon-issued computers may
be used to view, create, or circulate such horrifying images is a shameful disgrace, and
one we must fight head on," said Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D -- Va.), who co-sponsored the
bill with Rep. Mark Meadows (R -- N.C.).
A companion bill in the senate has been introduced by Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R -- Alaska)
and Brian Schatz (D -- Hawaii).

This debauchery is a part of the crisis of neoliberalism. It does increases the level of de-legitimization of neoliberal elite.
As one commenter pointed out: we need the names of scum, wealthy perverts from the United States who travelled to Epstein
island-sized rape dungeon off the coast of Saint Thomas.

"... The Epstein case is first and foremost about the casual victimization of vulnerable girls. But it is also a political scandal, if not a partisan one.

"... Surely I'm not the only one who noticed that the Epstein sex abuse timeline is nearly identical to the Catholic Church sex abuse timeline. Both investigations were initiated in the early 2000s. Both revealed that the exploitation of children was an open secret in the highest echelons of power. Both investigations were closed a few years later, though not resolved. We assumed justice would take its course, and slowly began to forget. And then within two years of each other, both scandals emerged again, more sordid than ever. And on both occasions, we realized that nothing had changed. ..."
"... Of course, we know where that leads us. For two centuries, conservatives have tried to dampen the passions that led France to cannibalize herself circa 1789. ..."
"... Yes: those passions are legitimate. We should feel contempt for our leaders when we discover that two presidents cavorted with Epstein, almost certainly aware that he preyed on minors. We should feel disgust at the mere possibility that Pope Francis rehabilitated Theodore McCarrick.

"... This isn't about politics. This is about common decency and respect for the most vulnerable. Clinton? Trump? Who cares?

"... So Trump simply makes a comment, has no record of any flights, attendance or participation and this article would have you believe that it equates as despicable as a frequent flyer on the Lolita Express? This author is no different than the fake news. ..."
"... Trump did allegedly make one flight on the plane, from the NY area to Florida. No records show him flying to the "orgy island". ..."
"... Actually, the logs don't show that he was on the plane. Epstein's brother CLAIMS he was on the plane...the most anybody else has said to support that is that Trump looked at the plane on the ground. ..."
"... It's a Trump problem insofar as he continues to defend Acosta. This is the Sec of Labor who effectively let Epstein walk and who now oversees anti-human trafficking efforts (which he has repeatedly tried to gut the funding for). ..."
"... Did you see Acosta's press conference? The local State DA wanted to let Epstein walk - on a lesser state charge through a Grand Jury. Acosta's US Attorney office stepped in to get the charges increased as much as they could so that Epstein would do SOME jail time and - more importantly - have to register as a sex offender. ..."
"... I agree. As much as I detest Trump, I don't think that he was involved with Epstein's debauchery. However, I do believe the women that claim being assaulted, because he is on tape claiming to do what they describe. And there is so many of them. And he has had multiple documented affairs while married to every one of his wives. But no evidence yet of him with underage girls. ..."
"... Right, because those Kavanaugh accusers were so credible, right? No evidence, decades later? Nope. Unlike Kavanaugh, Trump was on a big stage for decades and was a pretty easy target with the tabloids looking for dirt...but none of them came forward. ..."
"... Trump owes America an apology, reading his comments it is obvious he was aware of, and disapproved of, Epstien proclivities, but didn't have the guts to stand up. (I do not believe the stories of Trump being involved, but if it turns out I am wrong on that, fry him ) ..."
Our elites cavorted with a pedophile, almost certainly aware of what he was up to. This is how revolutions begin.
Bill Clinton (Wikipedia Commons); Jeffrey Epstein mugshot (public domain) and Donald Trump
(Gabe Skidmore /Flickr)
For once, I'm with New York Times writer Michelle Goldberg: Jeffrey Epstein is the ultimate symbol of plutocratic rot.
In her
latest column , Goldberg interviews Vicky Ward, who covered the 2003 revelations of Epstein's sex abuse for Vanity Fair
. Ward's editor, Graydon Carter, allegedly ran interference for the high-flying pervert, nixing her discussion with two women
who claimed to have been assaulted by Epstein. "He's sensitive about the young women," Carter explained to Ward.
This appears to be something of a pattern. "What is so amazing to me is how his entire social circle knew about this and
just blithely overlooked it," Ward says of Epstein's pederasty. "While praising his charm, brilliance and generous donations to
Harvard, those [I] spoke to all mentioned the girls as an aside."
Back to Goldberg:
The Epstein case is first and foremost about the casual victimization of vulnerable girls. But it is also a political
scandal, if not a partisan one. It reveals a deep corruption among mostly male elites across parties, and the way the very rich
can often purchase impunity for even the most loathsome of crimes. If it were fiction, it would be both too sordid and
too on-the-nose to be believable, like a season of "True Detective" penned by a doctrinaire Marxist.
Of course, Goldberg -- being a Democrat -- doesn't want us to think of this as a partisan scandal. Yet Nancy Pelosi's daughter
conspicuously tweeted that it's "quite likely
that some of our faves are implicated." We all know by now that President Bill Clinton was a
frequent flyer on the Lolita Express, Epstein's
private jet, which ferried wealthy perverts from the United States to his island-sized rape dungeon off the coast of Saint Thomas.
Still, a few Republicans will almost certainly be implicated, too. Now, look: I voted for President Donald Trump in 2016. If
I don't vote for him in 2020, it will be because I've lost faith in the whole democratic process and have moved to a hole in the
ground to live as a hobbit. Having said that, Trump is definitely tainted by Epstein. In a 2002 interview with New York Magazine
, the president called him a "terrific guy." "It
is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do," Trump said, "and many of them are on the younger side."
Don't pretend that's an innocent remark. It's like when Uncle Steve passes out face-down on the kitchen floor at the family Christmas
party and Uncle Bill says, "I guess that one likes to drink." We still love Uncle Steve, even if he does overdo it on the
fire water. And our elites still love Epstein, even if he does rape little girls. None of us is perfect, after all.
This is how America is. This is how our ruling class works: Democrat, Republican, whatever. As the inimitable Matthew Walther
points out ,
there's a reason people believe in Pizzagate. The Hellfire Club is real. And for decades, we've emboldened them considerably.
Remember how Democrats and centrist Republicans mocked conservatives for making such a stink about Monica Lewinsky's blue dress?
The media elite competed to see who could appear the most unfazed by the fact that our sax-playing president was getting a bit on
the side. "I mean, heh heh, I love my wife, but, heh, the 1950s called, man! They want their morality police back."
Well, look where that got us. Two confirmed adulterers have occupied the White House in living memory; both are now under fire
for cavorting with a child sex slaver on Orgy Island. Go ahead and act surprised, Renault.
♦♦♦
Surely I'm not the only one who noticed that the Epstein sex abuse timeline is nearly identical to the Catholic Church sex abuse
timeline. Both investigations were initiated in the early 2000s. Both revealed that the exploitation of children was an open secret
in the highest echelons of power. Both investigations were closed a few years later, though not resolved. We assumed justice would
take its course, and slowly began to forget. And then within two years of each other, both scandals emerged again, more sordid than
ever. And on both occasions, we realized that nothing had changed.
Whew. Now I get why people become communists. Not the new-wave, gender-fluid, pink-haired Trots, of course. Nor the new far Left,
which condemns child predators like Epstein out one side of its mouth while
demanding
sympathy for pedophiles out the other.
No: I mean the old-fashioned, blue-collar, square-jawed Stalinists. I mean the guy with eight fingers and 12 kids who saw photos
of the annual Manhattan debutantes' ball, felt the rumble in his stomach, and figured he may as well eat the rich.
Of course, we know where that leads us. For two centuries, conservatives have tried to dampen the passions that led France to
cannibalize herself circa 1789.
Nevertheless, those passions weren't illegitimate -- they were just misdirected. Only an Englishman like Edmund Burke could have
referred to the reign of Louis XIV as "the age of chivalry." Joseph de Maistre spoke for real French conservatives when he said
the decadent, feckless aristocracy deserved to be guillotined. The problem is, Maistre argued, there was no one more suitable to
succeed them.
Yes: those passions are legitimate. We should feel contempt for our leaders when we discover that two presidents cavorted
with Epstein, almost certainly aware that he preyed on minors. We should feel disgust at the
mere
possibility that Pope Francis rehabilitated Theodore McCarrick. And we should be furious that these injustices haven't even
come close to being properly redressed.
"Us Democrats"??? This isn't about politics. This is about common decency and respect for the most vulnerable. Clinton? Trump?
Who cares? If--and that's a big "if"--it comes to pass that either or both were involved in the Epstein festivities then either
or both are scum and should be punished accordingly --along with the rest of their playmates at the Epstein playground.
The only question is whether or not those who participated in this apparent debauch will ever be brought to justice--so,
on that note--let the dissembling begin!
Does the author have some evidence to prove that President Trump is a pedophile, as he suggests in this article? Are all
persons who may have been friends with Epstein perverts and criminals?
You are as my grandfather told me repeatedly: "You are your associates & colleagues, their morality or lack thereof, will
in time infect you as well, despite all protests to the contrary; choose wisely."
If our decadent elite falls at all, it will be from imperial over-reach and losing a major foreign war, not from pedophilia,
which is rapidly being normalized along with the rest of LGBTQWERTYUIOP.
In France, the generation of aristocrats and especially
the royal family who were guillotined were relatively conservative in their sexual habits compared to the bloodthirsty sexual
revolutionaries who murdered them. And the libertine aristocrats of Great Britain (I believe that's where the actual hellfire
club was from) led the war against Napoleon and the temporary victory of the old order which followed his defeat.
The so called elites seem above reproach. Our morality has been skewed through the soul. Tribalism is alive and well. Wars,
diversity, erasing of our most cherished values, and a mainstream media that is in lockstep the rulers and those who see fit
to erase Freedom of Speech and make arbitrarily decisions as to what we can and cannot say. It is like living a bad dream.
I
applaud the courageous outliers like Ryan Dawson and Phil Giraldi that have considerably more guts than me. Blessings
It's the mainstream media that forced this into the light. The elites and the justice system did all they could to cover
it up, same as with the Catholic Church.
As for "our most cherished virtues", this has all been going on forever. Kings and courtiers, masters and slaves, the son
of the manor and the serving girls. Give me a break.
The only thing that is changing it is a shift in power to women.
"Paederasty" is better reserved for relationships between patrician
men, and boys, in which there was an expectation that the boy would
eventually approximate the social rank of his lover. Not to be applied
to a man running a little-girl brothel.
In UK thousands of girls were raped and nobody lost their job over it. Well, correction, people who tried to bring attention
to the horrific crimes happening lost their jobs or were prosecuted. After the scandal could no longer be contained and arrests
were finally made, there was no reckoning. No people marching in the streets, demanding heads of the goverment. I don't think
there is going to be a revolution, whether in UK or US, at most people would be outraged for couple of weeks and then forget.
Or might possibly be that upon examination, it became abundantly clear that the allegations were highly exaggerated as is
typically the case in these matters.
It might be a good idea to keep a clear head and hope that evidence "actual evidence" will determine events as opposed to
the salacious hysetria that usually surrounds these cases.
"...the decadent, feckless aristocracy deserve to be guillotined. The problem is...there is no one suitable to replace them."
100%. And I work as a psychiatric RN in a busy Emergency Room. Believe me, depravity in this country is not in the least
bit confined to 'elites'. They just make convenient scapegoats. I can tell you hundreds of stories. But conservatively, I would
estimate that anywhere from 50% to 75% of the women I care for were abused as children. And I have cared for literally thousands
of women over the years.
"This is how revolutions are born."
Not so fast. The French peasants were rioting over bread, not aristocratic decadence. In 21st Century America, no one is
starving. The poor in this country are obese, for Chr-sakes! And half the country is implicated in so-called 'aristocratic decadence',
through online porn.
And like John Lennon once wrote, "You say you want a revolution?" Be careful what you wish for...
Prosecutors will tiptoe around anything that puts them in an awkward position vis-a-vis the rich and powerful.
These are people that prosecutors want to owe you favors, and these are also people that can ruin the lives and career prospects

This explains why, to give instance, Comey engaged in comically tortured legal reasoning to justify not bringing charges
against HRC for servergate, when she would be cooling her heels in a SuperMax if she were a normie. According to conventional
wisdom, HRC was going to be the next president, already anointed practically, and that meant that she was someone that would
be in a position to do Comey big favors, and at the same time, someone that you did not want to make an enemy of.
Excellent article. But off the mark on one key point. The corruption of the elites and Ruling Class -- and they are sickeningly
corrupt -- is only a reflection of, or if you will a leading indicator, of a related corruption of the body politic.
The Clintons, for example, have been getting away with sordid and even criminal behavior for a long time. It didn't stop
a major political party from putting one of them at the top of its presidential ticket only a few years ago nor a majority of
voters from pulling the lever for her.
In fact, going back to the Lewinsky saga, it was not only the elites who pooh-poohed the whole thing; it was also the citizenry.
Check the record. Yeah, the Clintons are Exhibit A of the Real Problem. Anyway, there ain't gonna be a revolution, at least
not the kind that Michael Warren Davis warns of.
"In fact, going back to the Lewinsky saga, it was not only the elites who pooh-poohed the whole thing; it was also the citizenry.

The equivalent today would have been if Mueller's replacement spent a few more years 'investigating' Trump, only to set him
up with a perjury trap over whether or not he committed adultery.
This piece at the very least is not well researched hit piece on Trump but seems more to be a rabble rousing class warfare
type click bait filler. James Patterson reports that Trump kicked Epstein out of Maro-a-Lago 15 years ago after there were complaints
that he was abusive to women and more recently has said he is not a fan of Epstein. I've seen no evidence that Trump participated
in the abuse of underage girls with Epstein. Trump is no saint but sensationalizing this story and implicating Trump to sell
your copy is not journalism.
So Trump simply makes a comment, has no record of any flights, attendance or participation and this article would have you
believe that it equates as despicable as a frequent flyer on the Lolita Express? This author is no different than the fake news.
And it was a comment made three years before the first known report to police about Epstein's behavior.
I read Trump's comment as Trump being Trump. Unless he is responding to a personal attack, Trump tends to layer on the compliments
and tries to speak positive about people.
Trump did allegedly make one flight on the plane, from the NY area to Florida. No records show him flying to the "orgy island".
Actually, the logs don't show that he was on the plane. Epstein's brother CLAIMS he was on the plane...the most anybody else
has said to support that is that Trump looked at the plane on the ground.
The author throws around "revolution" so casually... The guillotine definitely needs a resurgence; unfortunately, it's not just the aristocracy that needs it; moreover, there
are still none better suited to take over after they chopping has stopped.
And throws without not even a thought but also without care to learn or now.
It is funny that American journo is now invoking Stalin's ghost, but.... Stalinists were COUNTER-revolutionaries.
And he says he is sure he knows who they felt?
.
Inflation, words means nothing today for journos, being merely a click-bait
It's a Trump problem insofar as he continues to defend Acosta. This is the Sec of Labor who effectively let Epstein walk
and who now oversees anti-human trafficking efforts (which he has repeatedly tried to gut the funding for).
Also, Trump supposedly told a campaign aide that he barred Epstein. Perhaps that's true. Hard to know with this inveterate
liar.
Did you see Acosta's press conference? The local State DA wanted to let Epstein walk - on a lesser state charge through a
Grand Jury. Acosta's US Attorney office stepped in to get the charges increased as much as they could so that Epstein would
do SOME jail time and - more importantly - have to register as a sex offender.
Now, should the Feds have interfered in a State case is a matter for another discussion. But Actosta's office did MORE than
what they should and everything they could with the evidence at the time.
As to Trump banning Epstein - it isn't "Trump told some aide", it is in the court records of the trial. Trump was subpoenaed
and talked voluntarily to the attorney for the girls. The attorney for the girls researched it and he says, and it is in the
court record, that Trump banned Epstein.
This is not a "Trump problem" as the media is trying to make it...this is a Dem problem.
I agree. As much as I detest Trump, I don't think that he was involved with Epstein's debauchery. However, I do believe the
women that claim being assaulted, because he is on tape claiming to do what they describe. And there is so many of them. And
he has had multiple documented affairs while married to every one of his wives. But no evidence yet of him with underage girls.
Right, because those Kavanaugh accusers were so credible, right? No evidence, decades later? Nope. Unlike Kavanaugh, Trump
was on a big stage for decades and was a pretty easy target with the tabloids looking for dirt...but none of them came forward.
THAT is your biggest clue that their claims are, as the judge recently said in dismissing one of these laughable cases, ""As
currently stated, the Complaint presents a political lawsuit, not a tort and wages lawsuit,"
Then, of course, the Trump lawyers just released a video of what happened that shows he gave her a peck on the cheek during
a conversation as he was leaving. She lied.
I think some conservative, maybe Rubio, needs to stand up and simply state they are going to lead on this, and then do so.
Simply go after anyone that is involved and make the casual nature of peoples knowledge of this kind of behavior into a something
that has to be repented of.
Trump owes America an apology, reading his comments it is obvious he was aware of, and disapproved of, Epstien proclivities,
but didn't have the guts to stand up. (I do not believe the stories of Trump being involved, but if it turns out I am wrong
on that, fry him )
For a republican leader to stand up as I am suggesting, would force the left to make a decision. Either abandon their current
attitudes towards sexual permissiveness, or defend them. Either way conservatives win.
That comment was from three years before Epstein was charged. But YOUNG does not mean TOO young, always, and Trump was obviously
speaking of what OTHERS say, not what he knew for a fact.
Davis--and many TAC readers--voted for Trump even though the then-candidate sexually assaulted women and got caught bragging
about it.
While I welcome conservatives to the #metoo era, it must be acknowledged that their "outrage" didn't come to life until they
could attach the dirty deeds to Bill Clinton and other "elites" (whatever that overused term means).
No, it came with Weinstein...who proved what Trump ACTUALLY said on the bus to be true. Not that HE, Trump, HAD grabbed women,
but that young women seeking fame would LET the rich and famous grab them. Shortly after we found out that this was true when
we found out about Weinstein and what those young starlets allowed. What people knew, all good Hollywood liberals and Dems,
and LET continue while accepting Weinstein's political contributions and working with him professionally.

We really should get the terms right. Having sex with a 14 year old is a crime, known as
statutory rape under some jurisdictions. It's not paedophilia. Lusting after a 14 year old is
also not paedophilia, which is reserved for pre-pubescent children. [E phebophilia
refers to the sexual preference for mid-to-late adolescents, hebephilia refers to the sexual preference
for earlier pubescent
individuals, and paedophilia refers to the primary or
exclusive sexual interest in prepubescent children .] Adapted from Wikipedopedia

Can one picture a scenario where Epstein DID tell the whole truth? Named all the names, all

the laundered money, all the officials who were bought off with his last pleas deal or went
along with his "sweetheart" deal, all the people who looked the other way, etc.

I don't know. I find it hard to believe any high-level person in government would allow such
a story be told to every person in the world.

I'm not defending Epstein - pedos deserve death - however there's one aspect of the story
the news refuses to tell and it explains how he got away with being a pedo for all those years
and why getting a conviction in 2007 was so tough.
Epstein selected poor girls. He paid them $200 for giving him a "massage" - even with no sex
- and up to $1,000 if they let him do more. None of the girls interviewed said her raped or
forced them. Then, he paid the girls $200 for each girl they brought. He insisted the girls
know what they were getting into - no surprises.
Some of these girls came back for years.
You can see how a defense attorney would have torn these girls apart in 2007 and how a jury
may have said "They were young but if they came back time and again they're just hookers. If
they brought their friends to him for money they're guilty pimps."
This information is from the book "TrafficKing" by Conchita Saffron - a crusader against
child sex trafficking and "Filthy Rich" by best seller and Palm Beach resident James Patterson.
It's taken from the Palm Beach County police files and interviews with the girls.

According to James Patterson's book "Filthy Rich" Guiffre was coached to implicate
Dershowitz as part of a shakedown. She wanted $1 billion from Wexner (of The Limited &
Victoria Secret and close friend of Epstein). She wanted to show Wexner the kind of publicity
she could get against him if he didn't pay up. She was to get 1/3, her lawyers were to get 1/3
and a non-profit she set up (with her lawyers money) against sex trafficking would get 1/3.
Dershowitz was one of the attorneys who sued to get the records from 2007 unsealed when he
was one of Epstein's lawyers. If he had sex with any of the girls - especially Guiffre who had
been with Epstein for several years and who provided him with girls - she would have said
so.
There's no doubt big names and wealthy people are being protected but in this case I think
Dershowitz is being railroaded.
Guiffre was sexually abused as a child, lived on the streets and was sexually active before
meeting Epstein. She's a victim of domestic abuse as well. Not the most stable.

We'll know in good time (or we won't), but your thesis about Dershowitz being railroaded
looks possible to me for a couple of reasons.
One, he's seen in liberal land as having betrayed the team over Trump. The knives are out,
doubly so as the election season deepens and the Mueller hoax evaporates in an expensive
mist.
Two, the failure of the legal system to stop the monster Epstein is creating one of those
crises of faith in the hoi polloi.
These roll around whenever the official lies become so glaring that ordinary folk see
through the mirages of justice. They begin to grumble, in their unapproved ways, that things
just aren't on the level in the best of all possible nations.
To remedy this outbreak of clarity, the old playbook calls for sacrificing some scapegoats.
There are easier scapegoats to find than Dershowitz, though, who isn't going to be easily led
to the gallows. Hence the hapless Acosta.

Any grown man with a 14 year old girl is in most cases wrong. The handlers Epstein and the
bunch used knew the age and experience and maturity of these girls. I'm old now and don't want
anything to do with any of it, and will say that 21 year olds look like little kids to me.
But, but one time when I was 21 I was dating a young lady for a few weeks, and we had drank
and had sex, she spent the night and so forth. She lived with her sister. I was working
construction and this gal and her sister were moving so I just loaned her my truck during the
day, no problem as I had insurance. I never thought to ask if she had a drivers license as she
had driven to my place a few times. This was a mature looking woman.
She and I were coming back from having dinner at a nice restaurant and we were both having
drinks, several drinks. I was driving home and a cop pulled me over for a tail light out. He
came to my window and asked for our ID's which we handed him, and he took them to his patrol
car to run them. The gal next to me says, " I have to tell you something". And in my head I'm
thinking what, warrants or something? She says, " I'm only 15". And I ******* near screamed
nooooooooooooo, nooooooooooo. this can't be, look at you, the restaurant we were just drinking
at never even thought of asking you for ID, we've been out to bars, dancing. Why in gods world
did you keep that from me? Now I'll be going to pedo prison, god dammit, you just killed
me.
The cop comes back to my window, hands us our ID's [hers was from Idaho, apparently at that
time they could get dl's at 14?] and the cop says to me, " I think you better take her home". I
said, I agree. It was like letting the air out of a dirigible, a long continuous psssssss, as
the blood returned and my heart started beating again. I don't know how any 15 year old could
look that mature, but no one ever even thought of asking her for ID. I was horrified. Never
again, would I come close to making that mistake. But the truth is, I did. She was good in bed
to, but it shrinks my **** if I even think of that moment. I was horrified, because what
average, real, decent man wants to knowingly bed a 15 year old? Not me. My conscience haunted
me for a few months afterward, knowing I had bedded a kid. But she didn't look like no kid I
ever saw before. play_arrow Give Me Some

If you read the story in the Miami Herald, Epstein was looking for girls that looked as
young as possible. In fact when they got older, or if their breasts were "too developed," he
got rid of them.
We've just heard of the girls his "recruiters" found in NY and Florida. Another part of this
was he partnered up with a guy who had an "international modeling agency." These models, not
from America, were often 12, 13, 14, 15.
And one doesn't have to use his imagination to figure out why a ranch in the middle of no

You're correct but the girls were the primary suppliers of girls. According to their own
testimony, they recruited their friends asking "do you want to make a lot of money" then they
were told what they would have to do.
Not excusing Epstein or condoning in any way. Just informing that he had the system down
pat. Yes, he invested $1 million in the modeling agency EM2 and brought in young girls with
promises of modeling careers. But he also targeted poor American girls and paid $200 - $1,000
for sex and a $200 commission for every girl they brought to him. play_arrow 1

No doubt, many (most) of the girls ended up going along. They voluntarily kept coming
back.
The crime is that these were "girls." Easily manipulated and intimidated. If they were 18 or
older, I guess all you could charge them with was prostitution and him with soliciting
prostitutes.
Of course, he did "give" the girls to all his friends with orders to "give so and so what he

It's worth highlighting that the only reason the Palm Beach Police detectives presented
their info to the FBI and the Feds, is that they had first presented it to state prosecutors,
who suddenly stopped returning their calls and clearly weren't going to file charges against
Epstein (at least all the charges that should have been filed).

Epstein likes pre teens and teens. He certainly provided children. That will be more hidden

Epstein is tied to Clinton and Clinton is tied to child traffickers in Haiti after

Mossad has long been known by many of us to be primary international player in child and
organ trafficking. Just waiting for it to be spelled out to our dumb society by Anne Coulter

Clintons probably helped but would have liked to have replaced Epstein but they cant. They

More poop to scoop, more names for y'all
Jane Doe #43 vs. Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Sarah Kellen, Lesley Groff, and Natalya
Malyshev, is the second pending civil lawsuit filed against Maxwell by a sex trafficked
survivor.
Prosecutors DID name names in the Kraft case. One of the "Johns" was identified. Actually
all of them were.
This happens in cities all the time when some undercover female police officers pose as
prostitutes and then arrest about 20 "Johns" in one night. These people's names and photos are
published in the newspaper and on websites. The entire idea is to shame these people, which
presumably serves as a deterrent to other would-be customers.
One assumes the government could also name all the "Johns" in the Epstein case too, right?
Who actually got "massages" from children?
Name them. Arrest them. Take their picture as a mug shot and publicize it.
But if you are Prince Andrew or Bill Clinton or Tony Blair or some Fortune 500 CEO or Alan

It would actually be great if Epstein talked and told all. Named names, gave details,

Not that he's going to do this. Not that the government is even going to ask him to do this.
They won't.
Essentially Epstein run a brothel for influential politicians and other stars. Girls were paid so they were hired prostitutes.
That fact that he did it with impunity for so long suggest state sponsorship.

Jeffrey Epstein mugshot (public domain)
The legal proceedings against financier Jeffrey Epstein are going to be spectacular. The sober-minded New York Times is
already running
headlines such as "Raid on Epstein's Mansion Uncovered Nude Photos of Girls," describing the victims as "minors, some as young
as 14." So, yes, this story is going to be, well, lit .
Epstein is the pluperfect "Great White Defendant," to borrow the phrase from Tom Wolfe's 1987 novel The Bonfire of the Vanities.
In Epstein's case, even the left, normally indulgent on crime, is going to be chanting: lock him up.
In fact, the case against Epstein seems so overwhelming that it's already been
reported , albeit not confirmed, that
his lawyers are seeking a plea bargain. Yet even if Epstein doesn't "flip," it's a cinch that many luminaries -- in politics, business,
and entertainment -- will at least be named, if not outright inculpated.
Which is to say, the Epstein case is shaping up as yet another lurid look at the lifestyles of the rich, famous, and powerful,
sure to boil the blood of populists on the right and class warriors on the left. In this same vein, one also thinks of the "Varsity
Blues" college admissions scandal, as well as the post-Harvey Weinstein #MeToo movement.
Yet perhaps the most aching parallel to Epstein is the
NXIUM sex slave case, which has already led to guilty pleas and entangled not only Hollywood stars but also heirs to one of
North America's great fortunes, the Bronfmans.
In that NXIUM case, it's hard not to notice the similarity between "NXIUM" and "Nexum," which was the ancient Roman word for
personal debt bondage -- that is, a form of slavery.
The Romans, of course, were big on conquest and enslavement, and such aggression always had a sexual dimension, as has been the
case, of course, for all empires, everywhere. Thus we come to a consistent theme across human history, namely the importation of
pretty young things from the provinces for the lecherous benefit of the rich and powerful.
It's believed that Saint Gregory the Great, the pope in the late sixth and early seventh centuries, gazed upon English boys at
a Roman slave market and remarked, non Angli, sed angeli, si forent Christiani ; that is, "They are not Angles, but angels,
if they were Christian." Gregory's point was that such lovely beings needed to be converted to Christianity, although, of course,
others had, and would continue to have, other intentions.
If we fast-forward a thousand years or so, we see another kind of enslavement, resulting, at least in part, from profound economic
inequality. William Hogarth's famous prints , "A
Harlot's Progress," follow the brief life of the fictive yet fetching Moll Hackabout, who comes from the provinces to London seeking
employment as a seamstress -- only to end up as a kept woman, then as a prostitute, before dying of syphilis.
Interestingly, a traditional song about descent into earthly hell, "House of the Rising Sun,"
made popular again in the '60s , also makes reference
to past honest work in the garment trade -- "my mother was a tailor."
If we step back and survey civilization's sad saga of exploitation, we see that it occurs under all manner of political and economic
systems, from feudalism to capitalism to, yes, communism. As for ravenous reds, there's the notorious case of Stalinist apparatchik
Lavrenti Beria, whom one chronicler
says enjoyed "a Draculean sex life that combined love, rape, and perversity in almost equal measure."
In the face of such a distressing litany, it's no wonder that there have been periodic reactions, some of them violent and extreme,
such as the original "bonfire of the vanities" back in the 15th century, led by the zealously puritanical cleric, Savonarola.
Yet for most of us, it's more cheering to think that prudential reform can succeed. One landmark of American reform was the
White-Slave Traffic Act , signed into law in 1910
("white slavery," we might note, is known today as "sex trafficking"). That law, aimed at preventing not only prostitution but also
"debauchery," is known as the Mann Act in honor of its principal author, Representative James R. Mann, Republican of Illinois, who
served in Congress from 1897 to 1922.
Mann's career mostly coincided with the presidential tenures of two great reformers, Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. And
it's hard to overstate just how central to progressive thinking was the combatting of "vice." After all, if the goal was to create
a just society, it also had to be a wholesome society; otherwise no justice could be sustainable. Thus when Roosevelt served
as police commissioner of New York City in the mid-1890s, he focused on fighting vice, rackets, and corruption.
Of course, Mann, Roosevelt, and Wilson had much more on their minds than just cleaning up depravity. They saw themselves as reformers
across the board; that is, they were eager to improve economic conditions as well as social ones.
So it was that Mann also co-authored the Mann-Elkins
Act , further regulating the railroads; he also spearheaded the
Pure Food and Drug Act
, creating the FDA. It's interesting that when Mann died in 1922, The New York Times ran an entirely admiring
obituary , recalling him as "a dominating figure in the House [a] leader in dozens of parliamentary battles." In other words,
back then, the Times was fully onboard with full-spectrum cleanup, on the Right as well as the Left.
To be sure, the Mann Act hardly eradicated the problem of sex-trafficking, just as Mann's other legislative efforts did not put
an end to abuses in transportation and in foods and drugs. However, we can say that Mann made things better .
Of course, the Mann Act has long been controversial. Back in 1913, the African-American boxer Jack Johnson was convicted according
to its provisions. (Intriguingly, in 2018, Johnson was posthumously
pardoned
by President Trump.)
In 1944, film legend Charlie Chaplin, too, found himself busted on a Mann Act rap. Chaplin was accused of transporting a
young "actress" across state lines; he was acquitted after a sensational trial, but not before it was learned that he had financed
his lover's two abortions. Chaplin's career in Hollywood was effectively over.
Cases such as these made the Mann Act distinctly unpopular in "sophisticated" circles. Of course, criticism from the smart set
is not the same as proof that the law is not still valuable. That's why, more than a century after its passage, the Mann Act is
still on the books, albeit much amended. Lawmakers agree that it's still necessary, because, after all, there's always a need to
protect women
from wolves .
Now back to Epstein. If we learn that he was actually running something called the "Lolita Express," that would be a signal that
prosecutors have a lot of work to do, rounding up the pedophile joyriders. So it was interesting on July 6 to see Christine Pelosi,
daughter of the House speaker, posting a stern
tweet : "This Epstein case is horrific and the young women deserve justice. It is quite likely that some of our faves are implicated
but we must follow the facts and let the chips fall where they may -- whether on Republicans or Democrats."
So we can see: the younger Pelosi wants one standard -- a standard that applies to all.
In fact, if one takes all these horrible cases in their totality -- Varsity Blues, NXIUM, Epstein -- one might fairly conclude
that the problem is larger than just a few rich and twisted nogoodniks.
That is, the underlying issues of regional and social inequality -- measured in power as well as wealth -- must be addressed.
To put the matter another way, we need a bourgeoisie that is sturdier economically and more sure of itself culturally. Only then
will we have Legions of Decency and other
Schlafly-esque activist groups to function as counterweights to a corrosive and exploitative culture.
Of course, as TR and company knew, if we seek a better and more protective American equilibrium, a lot will have to change --
and not just in the culture.
Most likely, a true solution will have "conservative" elements, as in social and cultural norming, and "liberal" elements, as
in higher taxes on city slickers coupled with conscious economic development for the proletarians and for the heartland. Only with
these economic and governmental changes can we be sure that it's possible to have a nice life in Anytown, safely far away from beguiling
pleasuredomes.
To be sure, we can't expect ever to solve all the troubles of human nature -- including the rage for fame that drives some youths
from the boondocks. But we can at least bolster the bourgeois alternative to predatory Hefnerism.
In the meantime, unless we can achieve such structural changes, rich and powerful potentates will continue to pull innocent angels
into their gilded dens of iniquity.
James P. Pinkerton is an author and contributing editor at . He served as a White House policy aide to both Presidents
Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.
"Most likely, a true solution will have "conservative" elements, as in social and cultural norming, and "liberal" elements,
as in higher taxes on city slickers coupled with conscious economic development for the proletarians and for the heartland."
Neither of which will happen with the blue megacities having political control.
"(T)here's always a need to protect women from wolves." It should be noted that boys who are sex-trafficked also fall under
the Mann Act. This may not be clear from Wikipedia.
Wow! What a wonderful article! The compassion for the young victims just jumps off the screen along with the disgust at the
corruption that has allowed this predator to damage so many lives over at least three decades.
No, the fact is that your dispassionate, detached, political assessment objectifies and dehumanizes the girls that
were abused by Epstein and by the stupidly named "justice system" and reflects the obnoxious rot at the root of our society
when it comes to the abuse of women and children.
When it comes right down to it, this doesn't really matter to you, it is just another political amusement.
"Most likely, a true solution will have "conservative" elements, as in social and cultural norming, and "liberal" elements,
as in higher taxes on city slickers coupled with conscious economic development for the proletarians and for the heartland.
Only with these economic and governmental changes can we be sure that it's possible to have a nice life in Anytown, safely far
away from beguiling pleasuredomes."
Liberal "social and cultural norming" (as in feminism, consent, discussion of sexual matters (gasp!) in the public sphere,
#MeToo, etc.) is what is making a difference more because such things are encouraging victims and giving them support. The (cough)
"justice" system needs reform so that rape kits get processed, victims are listened to instead of shamed, cases are actually
investigated, rapists aren't let off because "he comes from a good family" etc. The Nevada Legislature with it's recent legislation
is leading the way, because it has a female majority. THAT is what will change things FINALLY.
His "historical perspective" is just more of the same sh*t we have heard for millennia as are his prescriptions for solutions.
A key conclusion of the article is that Epstein and other recent scandals about the abuse of power mean "issues of regional
and social inequality -- measured in power as well as wealth -- must be addressed."
So if all regions and all social classes were equal, this would go away? First, gifts have always been and will always be
distributed unequally, so this egalitarian utopia will never be obtained -- leading to the indefinite justification "we have
more work to do" to force people and society into an unattainable intellectual ideal, and justifying endless injustices in the
process. Second, the article itself points out that the Soviets who ostensibly pursued an egalitarian state had a famous abuser
among the ranks of their political bosses (and likely had others we don't known about).
Ultimately, kids are best cared for and defended in family with their biological parents -- the very unit of society that's
been under unceasing attack for decades. Support the family and support small business which is responsible for something like
80% of new jobs created in the US. Then vigorously enforce the laws that are already on the books. A key problem with Epstein
was the law was for years or decades not enforced against him, I strongly suspect because he had very highly placed political
connections, probably several of which were sexually abusing young girls (and/or boys?) Epstein "introduced" them to. What amount
of social engineering or experimentation is going to eliminate that kind of political corruption? I highly doubt any will. Once
it's discovered, everyone involved should be prosecuted and exposed -- and any other cases of sex slavery rings discovered in
the process likewise have all their members prosecuted & exposed.
Lavrenti Beria as the prescient symbol of Soviet Babbitry v. worldwide immorality! So was Ernst Rohm! Thank god for the KGB
and SS as harbingers of true moral concern over sex abuse!
"Ultimately, kids are best cared for and defended in family with their biological parents "
LMAO. Historically the family and biologoical parents were part and parcel in many of the deals involved with these trades.
Biological parentage is no guarantee of virtue towards children. Predatory behaviour towards children is most likely
to come from within the family. I can't remember the family name but there was a family that made a big thing of their
"Proper Christian Family" even while one son was abusing his younger sister/s and the Parents protected and shielded him.
"In Epstein's case, even the left, normally indulgent on crime, is going to be chanting: lock him up." - You almost lost
me on that one. The Left is not normally 'indulgent on crime'. However, The Left is resistant to making 'immorality' (pot smoking,
sodomy, gambling, gay marriage, etc) criminal, given how driving 'vice' underground and making it illegal has unintended consequences
(such as creating the mafia and Latin American drug cartels) that are worse than 'the crime', but I decided to read on.
"That is, the underlying issues of regional and social inequality -- measured in power as well as wealth -- must be addressed."
- All in for that one. Glad to see your 'wokeness'. Please send a check to Bernie.
"In the meantime, unless we can achieve such structural changes, rich and powerful potentates will continue to pull innocent
angels into their gilded dens of iniquity" - Like Donald Trump, Roger Ailes, Roy Moore, David Vitter, Dennis Hastert, Chris
Collins, Duncan Hunter, Michael Grimm, and on and on.
The Democrats have shown they are more than willing to ostracize members of their own team (Al Franken) for alleged and actual
wrongdoing. The Republicans, not so much, since they usually overlook all kinds of deviance if a politically expedient. Such
as Tim Murphy from PA and Scott DesJarlais from TN, both married 'anti-abortion' zealots caught urging their mistresses to have
abortions.
"The Democrats have shown they are more than willing to ostracize members of their own team (Al Franken) for alleged
and actual wrongdoing."
Like Bill Clinton. The same Team D Wokemon champions who insisted that any form of sexual or romantic contact between a male
supervisor and a female subordinate was by definition sexual harassment suddenly changed their tune when Bill Clinton was the
supervisor.
Not only that, but they came up with the most hilarious tortured redefinitions of "perjury" in order to justify their hero.
For the record: I am not a Team R fan either, but I am not so naive as to think the problem is limited to one team.
It is not. Bill Clinton was a cad. No doubt. But I find it very interesting that Juanita Broaddick recanted her allegations
against Clinton when Ken Starr put her under oath.
The only outrage Democrats will actually express over Epstein is to again tar and feather Trump in the usual fashion: Nibble
at the toes of hapless political operatives and bureaucrats like Acosta, and then accuse the President of colluding in his own
purported ignorance and self-enrichment.
There is an elephant in the room I think many conservatives are ignoring right now. A real big one...
"President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, the 66-year-old hedge fund manager charged this week with sex trafficking and
conspiracy to commit sex trafficking, were the only other attendees to a party that consisted of roughly two dozen women at
his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, according to a New York Times report."
"In 1992, the women were reportedly flown in for a "calendar girl" competition that was requested by Trump, The Times said.
"At the very first party, I said, 'Who's coming tonight? I have 28 girls coming,'" former Trump associate George Houraney
reportedly said. "It was him and Epstein."
"I said, 'Donald, this is supposed to be a party with VIPs. You're telling me it's you and Epstein," he recalled saying."
"Houraney claimed to have warned Trump about Epstein's behavior and said the real estate tycoon did not heed his notice.
Houraney, a businessman, reportedly said Trump "didn't care" about how he had to ban Epstein from his events."
This is an old elephant. It raised its head during the campaign and did not make much in the way of waves. Will it come back
to bite the president today -- one hopes that its all rumor hearsay and gossip.
I am willing to grant that the president may have been a "masher" in his day. Whether that means relations with children
is another matter.
Bill Clinton had at least 26 international trips on Epstein's private plane, including 18 to Epstein's private Caribbean
island, which was reportedly staffed with dozens of underage women, mostly from Latin America. It was referred to as "Orgy Island"
or "Pedo Island" by the locals.
One is a retired politician. The other is the current POTUS. If Bill is guilty, lock him up. If Trump is guilty - we need
to know ASAP and he can no longer be the president.
If Jeffery Epstein is such a monster then what is one to make of a man who has been quoted as saying "You can do what ever
you want, grab them by the *****." and then during a presidential debate shamelessly state "I have great respect for women.
Nobody has more respect for women than I do."?
Laughing good grief --- First I have to get passed the suggestion that guys bragging nonsensically about their female conquests
is the same hiring teens to for relations.
Good grief . . . these types of issues are ripe for hysterics.
excuse my politically incorrect suggestion of making the categorical distinctions
I disagree show me where the Progressives have any morals after all look at Clinton. Even the so called fake republicans
are guilty. Our country is in the toilet . The schools are hotbeds of moral decay teaching kids LGBT sex education etc.
Cultural Marxism is at play and next they will soften up and normalize pedophile. As far as the women's movement they are bitter
progressives who on there Facebook moaning about how they make less money then men. Who is taking of the kids? There are no
real men any more they have become boys!! Sex is every where and no one cares they all going along with the new world order!
You forgot to mention our current thrice divorced President who cheats on his wife with porn stars and pays them to stay
quiet. Strong moral leadership....
If this happened, my faith in the "rule of law" and in prosecutors and law enforcement treating everyone equally might be
restored. But, alas, we all know this is not going to happen.
"...the younger Pelosi wants one standard -- a standard that applies to all."
Don't we all. But if history teaches us anything it teaches that the higher up the socioeconomic food chain we go, the more
"flexible" that standard becomes.
So we'll see about Epstein--and all the other big shots who were in on this debauch.
"...the younger Pelosi wants one standard -- a standard that applies to all."
Does she want that single standard to apply to people that flaunt our laws by having, say, a clandestine and illegal email
server that was used for classified correspondence?
Mr. Pinkerton apparently (like many) needs to learn what the definition of pedophile is (hint: It's doesn't mean any and
all sex under he legal age of consent). However illegal (to say nothing of distasteful and immoral) Epstein's actions may have
been, based on the claims I've seen, he is not a pedophile.
I also find it hard to believe that Clinton and others didn't know. Rumours of Epstein's proclivities, and his plane being
called "Lolita Express," have been around for along-time, but Epstein has been protected by his connections and wealth. Clinton
flew nearly 30 times on Epstein's private jet. Is he the only person in the world who never heard the stories about him? What
did he know and when did he know it?
If you're asking that question about Clinton- a 90s has-been politician whose own party has moved on past him, then I hope
you're also asking it about the current president who was also a bosom buddy to Epstein.
According to flight manifests, Trump flew one time, from New York to Palm Beach, on Epstein's plane. Clinton took at least
26 international trips on the Lolita Express, including 18 trips to Epstein's private Caribbean island, where he supposedly
had dozens of underage women from Latin America kept. The locals referred to it at 'Orgy Island" and "Pedo Island". We're not
exactly comparing apples to apples here, are we?
Compare the Mueller soap opera. The characters in that story were sleazy international fixers and blackmailers who worked
for everyone. Same type as Epstein. They worked for KGB, CIA, Clinton, Trump, Mossad, Saudi. Despite the universality of the
crimes, Mueller meticulously "saw" only the crimes that involved Trump and Russia. FBI always works that way. Any accusation
or evidence that doesn't fit the predefined story disappears.
Muller had a specific investigatory mission. He was not empowered to look into every government scandal since Alexander Hamilton
was blackmailed by Maria Reynolds.
Part of what doomed the post-WWII "Right" was the "fusionism" between conservatism and capitalism. While the latter got real
policy results, the former was merely pandered to during elections but otherwise ignored. As a result, leftists and centrists
mistakenly came to believe that being "right-wing" means being a corporate shill lobbying to cut taxes for the rich and pay
for it by cutting programs for the poor.
At the same time,
as Marx himself understood, capitalism is a fundamentally chaotic, disruptive, even revolutionary force that destroys
everything that conservatives value the most (and want to "conserve.") The free-market fundamentalism that so many conservatives
accept as gospel truth really is nothing more than a "false consciousness."
Many traditionalists (such as Russell Kirk) resisted fusionism for placing too much emphasis on markets and not enough on
the conservative commitment "to religious belief, to national loyalty, to established rights in society, and to the wisdom
of our ancestors." And many libertarians (such as F.A. Hayek) explicitly rejected conservatism for being too nationalistic
and hostile toward open systems.
If conservatives want any political future in this country, then they're going to have to "de-fuse," so to speak, with capitalism,
which has been exploiting their support in order to advance policies against their own interests and values. If
"Woke Capitalism" isn't the final straw, then what will it take? Conservatives could learn a lot from the Progressive Movement
of the 1890s-1920s, which despite its name was far more conservative than the David-Frenchist National Review is nowadays.
Indeed, the Progressives' reformist playbook (which recognized that the rapid changes brought by industrialization, immigration,
and urbanization had caused corruption, poverty, and vice) could and should be dusted off for today.
As far as Epstein goes, I'm rather pessimistic that he'll ever be punished and that the public will ever learn the full extent
of his crimes. While Nancy Pelosi's daughter may be principled (and good for her), the fact that so many wealthy and powerful
people may be incriminated is precisely why he'll be let off easy and the evidence will be covered up, just like last time.
I have zero confidence in our justice system, particularly in the hyper-politicized SDNY.
If ever a situation called for rendition, this is it. I've been following this since 2007, and my intuition tells many

Be very skeptical. Why is DOJ suddenly resurrecting a case that was settled 10 years ago? I can't help to wonder if this
isn't yet another part of the coup attempt.

and their brains will swirl with reminiscences of St. Gregory and Sen. Mann?
I am unaware that Chaplin's career was "effectively over" after his sex trial. Chaplin made "Monsieur Verdoux" in 1947 in
good time after the modern Bluebeard of France, Marcel Petiot made headlines (this predator swindled Jews of safe passage money
out of France, poisoned them, and burned their bodies in his home. No time of reckoning for France or Francophiles here). Five
years later he released "Limelight", which could be called a loving tribute to vaudeville and silent film at the same time (Buster
Keaton appeared, and it is said that many omitted segments were his finest hour in the sound era. Note that financially and
at box office, Keaton was as ruined and burned out as countless others, but was in the end a hard working trouper who even made
it to Samuel Beckett!). Chaplin flagged thereafter, but made films at exactly the pace he wished, as characterized by the slow
linger from "Modern Times" to "The Great Dictator".
Errol Flynn on the other hand was boosted by his sex scandal as alleged with a 15 year old. His release "They Died With Their
Boots On" made reference to the allegation that Flynn was naked except for a pair of boots. And remember the original Hollywood
Confidential scandal that rounded up dozens of celebrities including Lizbeth Scott in a prostitution ring? All forgotten.
So if your going to make big analogies between Hollywood, celebrity, and yet another paroxysm of soon to evaporate Puritan
righteousness, at least know what you're talking about.
For the record, I believe that if Epstein punched 8 years above his weight in his choice of femmes, he might never have been
caught.

Jeffrey Epstein's wealth has long been a topic of discussion since becoming known as a 'billionaire pedophile' and other similar
monickers. Described by prosecuitors this week as a "man of nearly infinite means," a
2011 SEC filing has
provided a window into the registered sex offender's elite Wall Street links, according to the
Financial Times .
Epstein, who caught a lucky break tutoring the son of Bear Stearns chairman Alan Greenberg before joining the firm, left the
investment bank in 1981 to set up his own financial firm. While he reportedly managed money for billionaires for decades, most of
Epstein's dealings have been done in the shadows.
A 2011 SEC filing reveals that Epstein's privately held firm, the Financial Trust Company , took a 6.1% stake in Pennsylvania-based
catalytic converter maker Environmental Solutions Worldwide (ESW) backed by Leon Black, the billionaire founder of Apollo Global
Management .
ESW itself has a checkered past. In 2002, its then-chairman Bengt Odner was accused by the SEC of participating with others in
a $15 million "pump and dump" scheme with ESW stock. The case was settled a year later according to FT , with Odner ordered to pay
a $25,000 civil penalty. Of note, ESW accepted Epstein's investment several years after he had registered as a sex offender in a
controversial 2008 plea deal in Florida.
Epstein's connection to Black doesn't stop there - as the financier served as a director on the Leon Black Family Foundation
for over a decade until 2012 according to IRS filings. A spokeswoman for the foundation claims that Epstein had resigned in July
2007, and that his name continued to appear on the IRS filings "due to a recording error" for five years. A 2015 document signed
by Epstein provided to the Financial Times appears to confirm this.
Epstein also built his wealth with Steven J. Hoffenberg and Leslie H. Wexner, the former of whom was convicted of running a giant
Ponzi scheme, and the latter a clothing magnate.
Mr. Epstein's wealth may have depended less on his math acumen than his connections to two men -- Steven J. Hoffenberg, a
onetime owner of The New York Post and a notorious fraudster later convicted of running
a $460 million Ponzi scheme , and Leslie H. Wexner, the billionaire founder of retail chains including The Limited and the
chief executive of the company that owns Victoria's Secret.
Mr. Hoffenberg was Mr. Epstein's partner in two ill-fated takeover bids in the 1980 s, including one of Pan American World
Airways, and would later claim that Mr. Epstein had been part of the scheme that landed him in jail -- although Mr. Epstein
was never charged. With Mr. Wexner, Mr. Epstein formed a financial and personal bond that baffled longtime associates of the
wealthy retail magnate, who was his only publicly disclosed investor. -
New York Times
"I think we both possess the skill of seeing patterns," Wexner told Vanity Fair in 2003. "But Jeffrey sees patterns in politics
and financial markets, and I see patterns in lifestyle and fashion trends."
Those around Wexner were mystified over Wexner's affinity for Epstein.
" Everyone was mystified as to what his appeal was ," said Robert Morosky, a former vice chairman of The Limited. "I checked
around and found out he was a private high school math teacher, and that was all I could find out. There was just nothing there."
As the New York Times
noted on Wednesday, Epstein's "infinite means" may be a mirage, as while he is undoubtedly extremely rich, there is "little
evidence that Mr. Epstein is a billionaire."
While Epstein told potential clients he only accepted investments of $1 billion or more, his investment firm reported having
$88 million in capital from his shareholders, and 20 employees according to a 2002 court filing - far fewer than figures being reported
at the time.
And while most of Epstein's dealings are unknown, his Financial Trust Company also had a $121 million investment in DB Zwirn
& Co, which shuttered its doors in 2008, and had a stake in Bear Stearns's failed High-Grade Structured Credit Strategies Enhanced
Leverage Fund - the collapse of which helped spark the global financial crisis.
Epstein was hit hard by the financial crisis a decade ago, while allegations of sexual abuse of teenage girls caused many associates
- such as Wexner - to sever ties with him.
Bear Stearns -- the bank that had given Mr. Epstein his start -- was still among his investments when the crisis hit.
According to a lawsuit he later filed against the bank, Mr. Epstein controlled about 176,000 shares of Bear Stearns, worth nearly
$18 million, in August 2007.
Mr. Epstein sold 56,000 shares at $101 each that month. He sold the remaining 120,000 shares in March 2008 as the firm was
collapsing -- 20,000 at $35 and the rest at $3.04, losing big. He also lost about $50 million in one of Bear's hedge funds.
By the time Bear Stearns came apart, Mr. Epstein was at the center of his first abuse case. He pleaded guilty to prostitution
charges in 2008, receiving a jail sentence that allowed him to work at home during the day but also required him to register
as a sex offender. -
New York Times
In trying to determine what Epstein is actually worth, Bloomberg notes that " So little is known about Epstein's current business
or clients that the only things that can be valued with any certainty are his properties. The Manhattan mansion is estimated to
be worth at least $ 77 million , according to a federal document submitted in advance of his bail hearing."
He also has properties in New Mexico, Paris and the U.S. Virgin Islands, where he has a private island, and a Palm Beach
estate with an assessed value of more than $12 million . He shuttles between them by private jet and has at least 15 cars, including
seven Chevrolet Suburbans, according to federal authorities. -
Bloomberg
Deutsche Bank, meanwhile,
severed ties with Epstein earlier this year - right as federal prosecutors were preparing to charge him with operating a sex-trafficking
ring of underage girls out of his sprawling homes in Manhattan and Palm Beach, according to Bloomberg , citing a person familiar
with the situation. It is unknown how much money was involved or how long Epstein had been a client.

Journalist George Webb, watch his Youtube channel, has been following Epstein 'activities' for decades, connecting him
all the way back to the Bush Sr. and Jr. Boys Town White House peadophile ring. Epstein was the 'go to guy' for rat line
trafficking missions, into Kosovo, Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, every war zone across the world one can think of, to move dark
ops in and out of, closely linked to DynCorp, which core business is 'aviation security services' and infamous for enabling

Trafficking underage girls from Ukraine back and forth to the USA to pimp out to every diplomat from every country that bought
and sold state secrets, flying underage girls to the Middle East to peddle to oil sheiks, involved with obtaining and exchanging

network of an 'Illuminati' type deep state collusion, the power brokers of war and sex.
The Irgun of Menachem Begin, the Mossad of Moshe Dayan were infamous for their poolside parties where all the jewish female

worst of a James Bond type environment but without the glitter.
on the contrary, the secret world of parasites that practice and trade in massive scale rape, war, torture, sex aberrations,
***********, blackmail, extortion, paedophilia, child trafficking, international orphan trafficking, drugs, trafficking underage
sex slaves to be used as dolls and much much worse,
that is who is Jeffrey Epstein is.

the whole of the Central Bank System that originated in Europe in Venice, and then spread to Amsterdam, the Dutch House of Orange,
London, New York, the British paedophile Empire,
Epstein lives in what is reputed to be the largest private dwelling in New Mexico, on an $18 million, 7,500-acre ranch
which he named Zorro.
Jeffrey Epstein's palatial New Mexico home is relatively near to a top military base. The Epstein home is in Stanley
in New Mexico.

Mossad sex party, according to former Mossad case officer Victor Ostrovsky
There were about 25 people in and around the pool and none of them had a stitch of clothing on.
The second-in-command of the Mossad -- today, he is the head -- was there.
Hessner. Various secretaries. It was incredible. Some of the men were not a pretty sight, but most of the girls were
quite impressive. I must say they looked much better than they did in uniform! Most of them were female soldiers assigned
to the office, and were only 18 or 20 years old.
Some of the partiers were in the water playing, some were dancing, others were on blankets to the left and the right
having a fine old time vigorously screwing each other right there...
It was the top brass all right, and they were swapping partners. It really shook me. That's sure not what you expect.
You look at these people as heroes, you look up to them, and then you see them having a sex party by the pool.

Researcher Wayne Madsen: Trump's Connection to Epstein Needs to Be Exposed
I like Miles' work a lot, but I don't always agree with the results of his studies. There are a great many fabricated events.
Events like those are cover for other very real events. The clowns will fake (or real) blow up townships just to prevent a case
from going to trial or getting news feed, OKC comes to mind. And there's always more than one reason for it behind the BS cover
story. It's tactical. Ep is just another arm of the octopus: Ep is definitely a middle man, a bag man, a front man, an intel
asset (for several agancies no doubt) and he got his cover job as a "financier" along with a client that got rich selling women's
underwear and kids clothes as whitewash. A guy who wrote a paper on how America perceives Israel and how to influence that perception.
That is the definition of magic and it's intel.
Ep definitely uses his own product... He had to be sure he could bounce those children off his clients, for one. Years of
grooming, investing in an asset, categorizing each one. It's an industry, for sure. I don't think the numbers are fabricated.
I don't think his black book was fabricated. Bloomberg was in there, btw, along with Bronfman, and Murdoch. The remoteness of
7500 acres in New Mexico, an Island, the planes, all neon signs that say "SECRET". But, you have to recruit from large population
areas to find suitable victims, er, individuals. I think it's more likely that this is real world and not a manufactured event.
Look: there are theories. I collect theories. Miles is a great researcher and he makes distinctions and observations that
are all very good. Reading him, I throw a lot of theories and music and vomit in the trash after. But when you peel back all
the fake events... the "Kansas"... One day Kansas is gone. Once and for all. What's left is this: there's some very real ****
on the down-low going on that has, until now, been permitted and some people who liked it that way are gonna be on the news
for it. Pelosi's kid tweeted it. What about, say, what might a sheriff of a certain New Mexico county know? Santa Fe is totally
compromised because it's an "Art" hub, for one. The unincorporated location is called "Stanley" which ought to ring bells. Right
by a military base, Kirtland and Los Alamos Demo Army base, god knows what else. It's the perfect M.O. of the fake events Miles
writes about. Miles sees patterns.
There is everything that is not real, and then there is everything that is real. For me it comes down to the Cartesian Brain
in a Vat theory, that, indeed, is "the Matrix" pop culture go-to of today, err, 20 years ago. Red pilled means you can't go
back. Get blue pilled you Get woke and go broke. It doesn't mean that everything is fake, but for all I know 2012 was real and
we live on this timeline now and maybe I am a brain in a vat. So cogito ergo sum. And that is kind of a statement of faith or
belief. It's the deep irony of philosophy. It's the glitch.
Ep is not the psyop. He's the guy you do the psyop to cover up. It's a better question to ask what generation MK Ultra are
we on? What subset? What might Cathy O'Brien have to say about it? Don't flame the victims, or make Miles look stupid because
you think it's all fake. Andrew Breitbart didn't think this **** was fake and he's dead. God bless him.

Dershowitz was one of several heavy-hitters on Epstein's first legal defense team. Epstein's lead attorney in the Florida
case was Jack Goldberger, who now represents New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft. His legal team also included Roy Black,
Jay Lefkowitz, Gerald Lefcourt, former U.S. Attorney Guy Lewis and Kenneth Starr, the special prosecutor who investigated Bill
Clinton's sexual affair with Monica Lewinsky.
Asked why he took Epstein as a client, given the unsavory nature of his alleged crimes, Dershowitz stated bluntly, "That's
what I do."
"I take controversial cases and I will continue to do so," he told Sinclair Broadcast Group in a Tuesday interview. "I defended
Jeff Epstein for the same reason John Adams defended the people accused of the Boston Massacre
On that note, Schumer said he'll give the money he received to help children and women.
I'd bet twice that amount it goes to Israeli causes. Not to real victims and the kahkzucker gets another nice write off.
Epstein's intel connections must be brought forth. My guess is when Kraft got busted that there were really big names that
are still being hidden. A long time and VERY TRUSTED ZH member that I know a bit and collaborated a bit with on the Linda Green
fiasco caught on and commented about it including providing solid evidence.
Maybe they should stop blaming Iran and Russia and look at Linda herself.

Epstein's name, I was told, had been raised by the Trump transition team when Alexander
Acosta, the former U.S. attorney in Miami who'd infamously cut Epstein a non-prosecution plea
deal back in 2007, was being interviewed for the job of labor secretary. The plea deal put a
hard stop to a separate federal investigation of alleged sex crimes with minors and
trafficking.
" Is the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]?" Acosta

'Belongs to intelligence' makes a lot of sense. The question is to which one. A lot of
people will says "Mossad" but I don't believe that to be the (full) truth.
Some commenters have an impression that this is the result of Trump triggering backmail clause by failing
to act as required by those running the show.

So Epstein is a pimp. In the employ of blackmailers? Why is the New York AG after his ass now? After all these years.
Who is the target if not Trump? I doubt the Justice Department is out to get the Mossad.
Vicky Ward's new piece in the Daily Beast said that Acosta explained his signing off on the nonprosecution agreement
by saying he had been told by a superior that Epstein was intel's deal and above his pay grade, so he should back off. I
take it the NYT left that out?
Epstein's criminal enterprise was a CIA operation.
Well, it was certainly supported by _some_ intelligence agency or agencies of _some_ country or countries. After all,
gathering blackmail information on prominent public/private figures around the world is part of their job description.
This renewed prosecution of Epstein isn't about protecting young girls from billionaire predators, it's an excuse to
subpoena any human who ever stepped foot into Maralago so that the Democrat staffed SDNY can find other unrelated info on Trump
to accuse him of bad deeds. It's more GetTrump and anyone who ever breathed near him.
In addition to the phenomenal work
that Miami Herald has done to revive this scandal and the inherent injustice there in, TruNews ran a expose on this back in
March of this year (watch the video and start from 23:12 onward):
Alan Dershowitz was one of Epstein's lawyers who constructed the lenient deal with Acosta (surprise, surprise):
"Is the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]?" Acosta had been asked. Acosta had explained,
breezily, apparently, that back in the day he'd had just one meeting on the Epstein case. He'd cut the non-prosecution
deal with one of Epstein's attorneys because he had "been told" to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. "I was
told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to leave it alone," he told his interviewers in the Trump transition, who
evidently thought that was a sufficient answer and went ahead and hired Acosta.
[ ]
After the one meeting with then-U.S. Attorney Acosta, where presumably "intelligence" was mentioned, the indictment was
shelved and, instead, Epstein signed a non-prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors, pleading guilty to one count
of solicitation of prostitution and one count of procurement of minors for prostitution, which earned him a cushy 13
months in county jail, from where he was allowed to leave to work at his office and go for walks.
The deal granted immunity to "any potential co-conspirators." Most significantly, federal prosecutors agreed to keep
the deal secret from Epstein's victims, which meant they would not know to challenge it in court. As it turned out, this
actually broke the law, because victims have a right to know of such developments, under the Crime Victims' Rights Act.
Wayne Madsen wrote some interesting pieces on Jeffrey Epstein:
[MORE]
[ ]
Epstein served a mere 13 months in prison on prostitution charges, not the longer term he would have seen had he been
convicted on pedophilia counts . The deal worked out between Epstein's attorneys and Florida prosecutors also involved
the Florida Attorney General at the time, then-Republican and close Bush friend Charlie Crist. Republican Attorney General
Bill McCollum actually signed a sweetheart plea deal with Epstein's attorneys in 2007 . Crist, of course, is no stranger
to sex scandals involving underage individuals, but in Crist's case, they were individuals of the same sex.
[ ]
Justice for the teens abused by Epstein, and allegedly by his friends Andrew and others, may be elusive. Florida prosecutors
who worked for both Jeb Bush and, later, GOP Governor Charlie Crist , arranged for a "non-prosecution agreement" (NPA)
that shielded Epstein and any "potential co-conspirators" from federal prosecutions after Epstein agreed to the plea deal
that saw him plead guilty to a single state charge of soliciting prostitution, without any mention of the age of the so-called
"prostitutes." The no-further-prosecution deal was worked out between Epstein's lawyers and Florida and the federal government.
Epstein's lawyers happened to be Alan Dershowitz; Kenneth Starr, the independent counsel of "Monicagate" fame; and Miami
celebrity trial lawyer Roy Black. The terms of the NPA were called into question in a letter written in 2011 by former
U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, R. Alexander Acosta, and the dubious deal-making with Epstein's lawyers
during Bush's and Crist's tenure is clearly apparent:
[ ]
It is noteworthy that Attorney General William Barr , seen as Trump's personal lawyer and hatchet man, may have known
Epstein in the 1970s. In 1973, Donald Barr , the headmaster of Manhattan's elite Dalton Schoola private school for
children of some of New York's wealthiest families, hired Epstein, who did not even possess a college degree, to teach
mathematics, physics, and calculus . Students attending Dalton at the time included the son of Alan Greenberg, the chairman
of the now-defunct Wall Street firm Bear Stearns. In 1976, Greenberg hired Epstein to be a trader at Bear Stearns and
the degree-less math teacher soon became a billionaire . Others attending Dalton during Epstein's tenure include actresses
Jennifer Gray and Tracy Pollan and television's "Bizarre Foods" chef Andrew Zimmern. Epstein's association with Barr have
some observers jokingly referring to the matter as the "Epstein-Barr" case.
"Mueller issued the stand-down order to Acosta under the Bush regime. My gut instinct: the cover-up of Prince Andrew
and the open border cartel human/narco/Weapons smuggling was driving Bush, owned by the Koch's and Brits and the rest of
the coverup was the Dims. Both are globalists."
All that cover-up occurred during BushCo with Mueller involved up to his eyes. The amount of dirt and dead bodies covered
by this is likely quite large and implicates Current Oligarchy actors.
2.
What evidence is there that Mueller, as FBI Director, would have issued such a stand-down order to U.S. Attorney Acosta?
Wouldn't it have been much more likely to have come from AG Mukasey or his deputy? (Who was the Deputy AG then?)
3.
As Cernovich notes:
"Cy Vance – Democrat, gave Epstein a pass on sex offender status.
Acosta – Republican, approved plea deal.
Muller – Republican, signed off on FBI closing file on Epstein.
Schumer – Took money from Epstein.
Bill Clinton – Travel.
This isn't partisan. Corruption at all levels."
What's good is that most people commenting on the threads understand just how deep the rot goes and that it's not confined
to North America.

The Twitter stream linked up-thread by rho seems plausible as a description of the
"business model" of his "hedge fund." Here's the link again for convenience:
Would a foreign govt really utilize someone with Epstein's life style to handle their
money? The guy doesn't exactly fly under the radar. It was only a matter of time before he was
busted. Seems highly irresponsible and stupid of whichever government(s).
I believe you are on to something. At least Marc Rich was an oil trader. With Epstein
there doesn't seem to be any information on his trading activity.Would a foreign government or intelligence agency keep a
depraved loose cannon as an asset? I suppose his role was not money management but blackmail or something more
nefarious. Could this foreign government be our "staunchest ally" in the ME?
We haven't seen anything yet of which I'm aware to allow for a determination of what led
to Epstein's serial abuses getting revisited. I very much doubt that it was a political
appointee new to the system who came into the job while harboring a determination to right a
wrong if given the chance. I think it more likely that it's a bottom up initiative, a witness
having developed as a result of having gotten jammed up in another case and offering up a
bigger fish, a newspaper story, new victims coming to light as a result of civil process, the
review process prior to releasing the disclosure materials triggering outrage, something
along these orders. Whatever it was, once the case was underway, in the era of #MeToo and
with new political appointees in place, there would be no stopping it.
It will be interesting to see who will be the ultimate targets. It was a travesty that in the
original case Epstein was the only person charged, unless I missed something. It's obvious
that there had been a facilitating organization that he was running and boatloads of cash
coming and going. No curiosity about that?
The prediction here is that Epstein will offer to cooperate sooner rather than later. It
would not surprise me at all if hasn't already been given the opportunity and wanted to wait
to see what cards the government was holding, try to figure out who from his old team had
turned and were witnesses against him.
A big question now is that if and when he does cooperate, what kind of corroborative
materials he would be able to bring along with him to bolster the victim testimony which will
be recollections of abuse from women when they were adolescents that happened quite a while
ago.
The indictment forecloses on any opportunity to use Epstein actively; and what kind of deal
do you offer to this guy anyway who right now appears to be the principal malefactor in order
to get to others, culpable users of his scheme surely, but not integral to his organization
per se, largely because they are newsworthy figures of one sort or another. Not an easy call,
but I would argue Epstein should take a major hit even if it means risking not getting his
cooperation.
"We haven't seen anything yet of which I'm aware to allow for a determination of what led
to Epstein's serial abuses getting revisited."
An important figure pushing for the re-opening of the case is Mike Cernovich. He along
with Breitbart are the main cheerleaders for the conviction -- the draining of the swamp.
They
are Trump's mouthpieces who talk directly to his base. I believe the Trump admin is
completely supporting the re-trial.
AG Barr's father had to leave the posh school where he
had worked as a principal for a decade, soon after he employed college dropout Epstein as a
Math teacher.
The guy who replaced Barr Sr was a pedo (perhaps appointed with Epstein) and
left under a cloud. I think there is some personal revenge angle here as well.
if you ask around the trading desk in nyc Epstein and his org is unknown. how is it a
billionaire finance guy is unknown on the trading desks?
answer:
because his fortune did not come from trading or investment or anything typically
understood to be finance related.
perhaps epstein and his sexual predilections was a way for....say... the mossad........ to
aggregate wealthy powerful and political figures into revealing the stuff needed to control
them in the future as favors are needed.
whats is a service like that IF epstein was indeed just a pimp for the
deviant.........worth?
how many billions to have a file on a who's who of international power would you pay?
Nobody knows what Epstein is really worth. The $billions figure comes from a single
source; a stipulation in his original trial. He would say what his worth was and the
prosecutors asked "$billions?" and E's lawyers said "sure". That's it.
He manages money held in off-shore accounts. Forbes thinks he has a fraction of that.
The guy is a sleazy con artist. He's probably happy to have people think he has way more
than he does for various reasons.
Pollard was an amateur. Is Epstein the professional?
Some will recall the name "mega" surfacing during and after the Pollard contretemps. An
as-yet unidentified Israeli spy operating at a high level. Now consider the following quote:
"Epstein, who recently loaned his jet to President Clinton, is usually seen in the company
of Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of deceased publishing tycoon Robert Maxwell. After Maxwell
fell or was pushed off his yacht in 1991, it was revealed that he was working for the Israeli
government and the Mossad, the Israeli Intelligence service.
While Maxwell's ties to the Mossad are well-documented, Epstein's connections are less well known. The London Sunday
Times quoted a New York social observer describing Epstein as follows: "He's Mr. Enigmatic.
Nobody knows whether he's a concert pianist, property developer, a CIA agent, a math teacher
or a member of Mossad." New York Magazine claims Epstein is the man who moves Wexner's
billions around the globe.
Wexner's philanthropic side is more public. In 1998, the Wall Street Journal reported that
Wexner was part of the "'Mega Group,' a loosely organized club of 20 of the nation's
wealthiest and most influential Jewish businessmen." The Mega Group meets purportedly to
discuss "philanthropy," but others have speculated that their charitable interests are often
a cover for lobbying activities on behalf of Israel."
This could be entirely coincidental. Or is Epstein (or Wexner) mega? It sure looks like
his operation was all about getting kompromat for Mossad. Whether that comes out with any
veracity remains to be seen.
The link optimax provides below (and reproduced here ) to an EIR (LaRouche) piece
on "Mega" is very interesting. It pulls a lot of this together and seems to be the main
source for your linked article. The title quote; "'Mega' was not an agent, Mega was the boss"

say.

Internet Archive in case it now 'disappears' due to the publicity. The author refers to Mega
Group as "the Megabucks" and describes an interesting twist on the traditional Mossad-run Z0G
narrative. He asserts that they are actually out for themselves and influence/buy politics in
Israeli every bit as much as in the US to further their own ends. Israel to them is merely a
useful tool. From the article:
" Israel for them is only a means to Jewish unity, on a par with the Holocaust
propaganda. The idea is to keep Jews together, away from hanging with other folks. The heads
of the American Jewish community need it, as they have a fair chance to find themselves
without soldiers, all chiefs, and no Indians. "

Charles Bronfman founded the Mega Group in 1991. Charles' brother; Edgar Bronfman is also

It may be antisemitic to characterize Jews as power-hungry money-obsessed world
dominators, but this group sure seem to fit the characterization rather well.

Those who want to go all medieval with the lurid fantasies about invincible conspiracies
of sexually depraved people who enjoy killing, be it Jews or witches, should at least get
modern.
First, blackmail evidence doesn't have to be tapes (Betamax? VHS?) or DVDs. It can be
semen stained sheets, used condoms thrown into the waste basket, pubic hairs and possibly a
child who passes the paternity test. The disappearance of this evidence needs to be accounted
for. If it was never collected
Second, there needs to be a sensible account of where and when this blackmail evidence is
stored and how the approach is made. The usual thing so far as I can tell is the use of
lawyers. Intermediaries with legal privilege are invaluable. In particular, if Epstein is
supposedly an extortionist for some intelligence agency, it is the agency which will have the
materials, not Epstein.
Third, if the legalities are any obstacle at all, the fact that the CIA's legal remit
is for foreign intelligence matters. How and why the CIA works domestically needs to be
explained. If the agency is supposed to be Mossad, how the Mossad can expect impunity needs
to be explained, not assumed on the grounds International Jewry secretly rules the
world.
Fourth, in either case, someone needs to explain what Epstein is doing for these agencies
with all this stuff. The great problem here is not just proving that none of these
politicians are doing things they don't already want to do. The implicit idea that they would
suffer somehow by an independent policy is enough of a stretch. You have to show the
extortion is necessary to achieve whatever the alleged goal is, so vital to success the risk
of provoking the enmity of wealthy and powerful people, or getting caught at it, must be
taken.
Fifth and most important, all these propositions and other "facts" need to be demonstrated
strongly enough to rule out, or at least compete with alternative explanations. For a single
example, to make much of Epstein teaching at the Dalton School you should have an idea how
often uncertified teachers worked at the Dalton School, how important the right social
background (as in recommendations from influential figures,) is for their hiring and not
least how long Epsteing even worked at Dalton.
News reports demonstrate very little about complex propositions. Even simple facts that
aren't verified by scrutiny from different parties can be unreliable. Generally the best
thing is to rely on evidence that is actually sound enough to introduce in court without
being blasted apart by an attorney.
In a complex proposition, which can be view as a proposed model, the probability of the
whole model being correct equals the probability of the least likely new element. The
difficulty there is that the probability of any given element---such as the likelihood of
Barr's father getting Epstein a job and this establishing a meaningful connect between Barr's
son and Epstein---depends on the amount of sampling. Ransacking the biographies is a lot
of sampling. The more sampling the more random correlations can be made, which is not, not,
not the same as demonstrating causal connections. Causal connections is what justifies saying
a model is correct.
Robert Maxwell was a Mossad agent. He was assassinated in a slick Mossad operation but
did get the Jerusalem burial that he so coveted. He biggest contribution to Zionism- achieved
with the complicity of Mrs Thatcher- was his facilitation of the mass emigration of Russian
Jews to Israel. There is even a "6 degrees of difference" association between Maxwell
and Bin Laden, but that requires research.
Ghislaine and Jeffrey make a fascinatingly suspect couple. Vast wealth acquired
nefariously, the manipulation of power through contrived sexuality, the cultivation of social
elites, and an inviolable sense of exceptionalism. And in the background, only darkness.
There's bound to be some kind of intelligence agency connection there somewhere. Methinks
that Ghislaine's role as pimp was quite creative.
Alexander Acosta, the US labor secretary under fire for having granted Jeffrey Epstein
immunity from federal prosecution in 2008, after the billionaire was investigated for
having run a child sex trafficking ring, is proposing 80% funding cuts for the
government agency that combats child sex trafficking .
Acosta's plan to slash funding of a critical federal agency in the fight against the
sexual exploitation of children is contained in his financial plans for the Department of
Labor for fiscal year 2020. In it, he proposes decimating the resources of a section of
his own department known as the International Labor Affairs Bureau (ILAB) .
Think recent Epstein news may be part of plan to impeach Trump or worse, JFK Trump.
CIA/Mossad asset Epstein was/is working with Mueller.
Acosta was put in his current position to further link Trump admin to Epstein story.
Don McGhan, the most cited person in the Mueller report according to Wikipedia was the person
who recommended Acosta for his current job .
Appears Trump may be on the other end of someone-else's maximum pressure campaign after
balking on Iran.
The thread before this one was about Russia, and I just now made a
comment saying that in my view, not all intelligence services throughout the world or
throughout history have been degraded in the way that out western agencies appear very
clearly to be.
I made the claim that the service which Putin led was one with a culture of honor and
uprightness in its institutional fiber, which explains much about how he came to be leader of
his nation.
One could look at the almost unthinkably corrupt and degenerate "leaders" in the west and
surmise much about their intelligence services.
~~
In some ways this is an interesting thread but in others an unsatisfactory one because the
team is still performing forensics on the situation. I'm reading you and rooting for you, but
otherwise have nothing to offer.
It's a dirty business being dissected here. But it's a necessary dissection. I offered a
glimpse of honor and morality just to keep up the spirits of the team.
There is a thick layer of something very bad in the world, and it intends nothing good for
children. To destroy one's own children seems to me the ultimate decadence. One hopes that
the future holds the massive revealing of this layer. And that the global mind of humanity
will change from this.
Please, don't mis-construe this as exculpating the culpable. Simply, that awareness is the
beginning of change.
Your indictment immediately brought Dickens and the US Congress's 1926 vote allowing of
lead --a well known destroyer of youthful and adult brains at the time -- to be spewed all over
creation via the tailpipes of internal combustion engines; Rachael Carson and the trio of
Our Stolen Future authors all to mind. Sadly, there are many more. I'm currently
taking a course about Trauma; and it's the criminally immoral trauma children are subjected
to that rightfully resurrected debsisdead.
To put an end to most such trauma, the systems of unaccountable power must be
eviscerated-- All of Them , Clerical included. Someone up the thread alluded to the
fact that most children are raped via corporations and are born with their own a priori
trauma, pollution being universally ubiquitous. All of the above is the main reason I
vehemently oppose the status quo, attempt to educate people about its evils, and work for its
demise. I believe that all here at the MoA bar share that goal--except the trolls. I wonder
if the trolls understand just how morally compromised they are through their support of evil,
if they have children who're already carrying their own trauma which will afflict them
sometime if they live long enough.
Trump, Macron, Obama, May, Blair, Bush, the Clintons, Pelosi, Walker, and all too many
more are the manifestations of the evil spoken of above. And there is no God for them to
fear; so, they must be taught to fear their fellow humans who must decide to no longer abide
their behavior .

The left is going wild thinking that this will "get Trump" but quite the opposite is
happening. It appears to me to be a "limited hang out" of an operation that has lost its
usefulness long ago. It surfaced during the election to damage the Clinton's but did not
receive widespread acclaim.
Now this story will run into 2020 largely damaging democrats into the 2020 election.
Trump's DOJ is running the operation. My question is will creepy Joe Biden figure into this?
Those videos with his hands all over other people children are beyond weird and
creepy.
Trump and some of the other socialites dumped Maxwell and Epstein after finding out what
was going on. That is part of the record. The anti-goyim activists that own much of the
mainstream media will trim the record accordingly as Trump appears to be their boy. They do
not need to blackmail him.
The true sponsors of the operation will be left out of the mainstream accounts and the
focus will be on the salacious details of sex with whomever and little girls. The "limited
hang out" will bolster Trumps election opportunities into 2020. Once again, the Left will be
Left with unconsumed egg on their faces. Like the idiots they are, they are driven by their
hate and their ideology and not by intelligence, understanding, and facts.
This is a great opportunity to understand how the world works behind the scenes, use
it.
One reason he was able to bargain and got light sentence was his connection with
intelligence. There were diplomats even high ranking officials, foreign dignitaries attending
his special party and service. He had a trump card with several videos. More likely he is an
Israeli Asset.
see, not even a speed bump. A slight slow down before everyone gets back to where they were,
continuing the exploitation of these once children to further their own ends. With Trump,
Clinton and the Windsor creep, their 'excuse' was that their innate instinct to spread their
genes has become corrupted - no doubt as punishment for all their good works.
I dunno how anyone who has parented a daughter - no matter how long ago, can reduce this
story down to dispassionate elements such as "Its mossad" or "no it aint, its those decadent
brits/the cia/kgb blah blah". I think most of us know that 'it' could be any/all of the
above.
Given the probably correct supposition that today's exploitation hasn't resulted in even a
minor jism rush, what is the justification?
It's capitalism/communism/fascism?
I'll say it again. It doesn't matter what story about the forces behind this is portrayed
as the truth, bugger-all is going to happen as long as the issue is which crooked pol took
money from which crooked banker, or which two bit amerikan owned ME colony put the pimp up to
kidnapping children and perverting them.
Insult to injury in addition to getting anally raped, at least one of these 11 year old
girls then had to put up with a shouting match between Edelstein and a US prez about who had
'the right to take her virginity'
Deep down, even if they won't even admit it to themselves people already know that all
pols are crooks, just as they know israel and saudi are a pair of manipulative pseudo-states
run by corrupt asshats prepared to fight their indigenous population down to the last remnant
of nato cannon-fodder.
As long as the issue is about allegedly omnipotent remote figures, everyone will shrug
their shoulders and say "Yuk! - that's what you get eh, anyway I better get back to putting
food on the table,"
On the other hand if ordinary humans are presented with the story of 11 year old girls
being snatched off the street outside a pizza joint while mom is inside ordering the evening
meal, the story stops being remote and becomes something so real they desperately search
around to make sure the all young girls in their family are safe.
Do that while making sure the initial victims are adequately protected from thugs and
exploitative 'journalists' and many many more victims will appear creating a situation mass
media cannot 'massage' or ignore.
Another example of Occam's Razor? The thing that makes the most sense in a complex situation
is probably the right answer. Seems like Epstein, a world class pimp, sexual predator and
bagman for Mysterious Moneymen has been teed up this time to snare Trumptard, to sing a song
or compose one (as they say in interrogation rooms) on the uncontrollable narcissist.
Epstein and the Unmentionables were protected by the Cuban-American hack malpracticer
Acosta in Fla. The message today to Epstein is: You are not protected this time unless... Do
not be surprised to hear one day before too long that Epstein is swimming with the fishes,
not unlike the fate met by Robert Maxwell (father of Epstein's Number 1 recruiter and
gatekeeper of his secrets).
The Mystery Men can always find another pimp and bagman on the dirty boulevard.
Former Palm Beach County state's attorney, Barry Krischer, says that Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta's account of a 2008 plea
arrangement his office cut with pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein is
"completely
wrong,"
and
that Acosta "
should
not be allowed to rewrite history,"
according
to a Wednesday statement by Krischer.
Earlier in the day Acosta held a
press
conference
in which he
vehemently
defended
the deal to serve just 13 months in county jail - saying that Krischer would have let Epstein walk otherwise.
"Simply put, the Palm Beach State Attorney's Office was willing to let Epstein walk free. No jail time. Nothing," said Acosta.
"Prosecutors in my former office found this to be completely unacceptable, and we became involved."
Not true
says Krischer - who said that Acosta abandoned a 53-page federal indictment "
after
secret negotiations between Mr. Epstein's lawyers and Mr. Acosta,
" according to
The
Hill
.
READ IT HERE: Former Palm Beach (FL) State Atty Barry Krischer challenges Acosta's characterization
of why Acosta pursued a plea deal for Epstein: "I can emphatically state that Mr. Acosta's
recollection of this matter is completely wrong."
The Miami U.S. Attorney's Office had prepared a federal indictment against Epstein, but it was never filed. Acosta has
also faced criticism for failing to disclose the plea deal to Epstein's victims, something he said would have
jeopardized the agreement.
Krischer downplayed his office's role in the eventual plea deal, and alleged the U.S. Attorney's Office abandoned its
federal indictment after "secret negotiations between Mr. Epstein's lawyers and Mr. Acosta."
"
If
Mr. Acosta was truly concerned with the State's case and felt he had to rescue the matter, he would have moved forward
with the 53-page indictment that his own office drafted
," Krischer said. -
The
Hill
That said, Palm Beach police told the
Miami
Herald
that they felt pressured by Krischer to downgrade Epstein's case to a misdemeanor or to drop it entirely
While Epstein has allegedly victimized up to
60
girls, many of them underage
according to the
Miami
Herald
, his sweetheart deal for just
two
counts of solocitation of prostitution
(one with a minor), and included
working
from his West Palm Beach office for as much as 12 hours a day
for up to
six
days a week.
He was also required to register as a sex offender, and was given immunity from federal prosecution.
Acosta avoided mentioning Krischer by name on Wednesday, referring only to the Palm Beach County state's attorney.
"Everything that the victims have gone through in these cases is horrific, and their response is entirely justified," said
Acosta. "At the same time, I think it's important to stand up for the prosecutors of my former office and make clear that
what they were trying to do was help these victims. They should not be portrayed as individuals that just didn't care."
Everything Acosta has said on the subject is a blatant lie. He, himself should be investigated,
then given a fair trial and, finally disemboweled along with Epstein and the entire Clinton
family.
Sorry, I've had two cups of coffee this morning. Was that a little too harsh?

Acosta is selling the idea that he didnt have a strong case and there was concern that they wouldnt
be able to win it in front of a jury...so they went along with a deal that included at least some
jail time...
I call ******** for 2 reasons.
Firstly - the victims deserve to have their day in court and to have our justice system fight for
them. Acosta wants us to believe that he is convinced that Epstein is dangerous and needed to be
locked up. IF that were true...why the **** didnt he take it to trial - put his best prosecutor on
it and fight for it with everything hes got? Thats what honorable people do in order to protect our
most vulnerable citizens. You fight for whats right.
Secondly - I cant decide whether its corruption that led to the sweetheart deal (secret payoffs or
maybe Epstein had dirt on Acosta...who knows...) OR...its a problem with our current system where
prosecutors only bring cases that are slam dunks because they want their record to show a 99%
conviction rate (mostly plea deals) so when they later go into public office - they have their
resume already padded...
**** Acosta. He even looks and talks slimy...
Put him and Epstein in a cell with Bubba and T-bone...after we have extracted all the confessions
from Epstein about who all was raping kids.
These sick fuckers need to just die. They need to be exterminated - like cockroaches. Or rats...
They are a clear and present danger to the national security of our country.

Nice try, Acosta. But nobody is criticizing the other attorneys in your former office. Everybody
is criticizing YOU. You Personally.
I wonder who Acosta is really protecting, and who is continuing to protect Acosta. Epstein and
Trump aren't wealthy or important enough to merit this level of protection, going back decades.
There's way more to this, which we'll probably never see.

Just my thoughts....
What I don't understand is that the MSM is running with this story. Yet they are not mentioning who
is involved.....they keep trying to drag Trump into it with all kinds of twists, but I don't think
he is involved. He may have "almost" got involved, but I think he saw what was going on and said
"Screw you guys, this is going to bite you in the ***".....so with the planes logs of Bill Clinton
being on the plane 27 times, and the Black Book showing so many famous people involved, I think that
the prosecutors in this case are just letting it build, and then BOOM. They will flip Epstein for a
lighter sentence and many many many people go down.
These 2 paeopple bother me....I don't understand how Pelosi's daughter keeps coming up, and then
Comey's daughter is one of the prosecutors in this case. Many this swamp is deep.

The average person would not know what to make of anything anymore. Clearly, some evil forces are at
work from behind the scenes but just who is the force is, is impossible to ascertain. Lawyers are
ALL ******* weasels - Hillary and Bill being primary examples.
I watched the clip later, and was a bit pissed when Mr Acosta disregarded a legitimate question
about Epstein being used by a foreign agency as "going down a rabbit hole".
In that piece, I shared many lesser known, but extremely bizarre facts about Jeffrey Epstein and the people around him.
I also noted that it appeared his real job was to run a blackmail operation to ensnare some of the most wealthy and
powerful people on earth. I alluded to the possibility that he was collecting this priceless information on behalf of a
third party, and then just today we learn the following
via
the
Daily
Beast
:
"Is the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]?" Acosta had been asked. Acosta had
explained, breezily, apparently, that back in the day he'd had just one meeting on the Epstein case. He'd cut the
non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein's attorneys because he had "been told" to back off, that Epstein was above
his pay grade.
"I
was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to leave it alone,"
he told his interviewers in the Trump
transition, who evidently thought that was a sufficient answer and went ahead and hired Acosta. (The Labor
Department had no comment when asked about this.)...
For almost two decades, for some nebulous reason, whether to do with ties to foreign intelligence, his billions of
dollars, or his social connections, Epstein, whose alleged sexual sickness and horrific assaults on women without
means or ability to protect themselves is well-known in his circle, remained untouchable.
It should be noted the reason I attach credibility to the above is based on who wrote it, Vicky Ward. She has an
extensive history of digging into Epstein, and wrote one of the
earliest
profiles
on him back in 2003. As she notes in today's article:
I
spent
many months on his trail in 2002 for Vanity Fair
and discovered not only that he was not who he claimed to be
professionally, but also that he had allegedly assaulted two young sisters, one of whom had been underage at the
time. Very bravely, they were prepared to go on the record. They were afraid he'd use all his influence to discredit
them -- and their fear turned out to be legitimate.
As the article was being readied for publication, Epstein made a visit to the office of Vanity Fair's then-editor,
Graydon Carter, and suddenly the women and their allegations were removed from the article.
"He's sensitive
about the young women," Carter told me at the time. (Editor's Note: Carter has previously denied this allegation.)
He also mentioned he'd finagled a photograph of Epstein in a swimsuit out of the encounter. And there was also some
feeble excuse about the article "being stronger as a business story." (Epstein had also leaned heavily on my
ex-husband's uncle,
Conrad
Black
, to try to exert his influence on me, which was particularly unwelcome, given that Black happened to be my
ex-husband's boss at the time.)
Many people had assumed Epstein was untouchable merely because he had so much dirt on so many powerful people, but it
increasingly looks far bigger than that.
It
appears he may have been untouchable because he was systematically collecting this information on behalf of an
intelligence agency.
If so, we need to find out precisely who he was working for.
This should be the number one story in the country right now. Blackmail at this level is a genuine national security
issue.
If we can somehow get to the bottom of Epstein I suspect we'll learn a lot about how the world
of the powerful really works, and why everything is so fked and corrupt.

Multiple Democrat socialists have been involved in child sex scandals over the years.
Democratic Seattle Mayor Ed Murray resigned after more allegations of child sexual abuse
surfaced after a fifth allegation of child sexual abuse surfaced -- this time from a
family member.
Anthony Weiner? The ex-husband to Hillary Clinton's top aide Huma Abedin had a long
history of sexual misconduct. Weiner became involved in an online sexual relationship
with a 15-year-old girl. Weiner pleaded guilty to transferring obscene material to a
minor.
Jacob Schwartz, 29, was an up-and-coming young Democrat who worked on New York City
Mayor Bill de Blasio's staff until he was arrested in on child *********** charges in
which he allegedly kept more than 3,000 images and 89 videos of pornographic acts
committed by children.
Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) was on trial facing federal corruption charges, which
started in 2012 over allegations that he and another man were having sex with underage
prostitutes.
Convicted sex offender and longtime friend of former Democratic President Bill Clinton,
Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, was accused in January in a federal lawsuit of luring a woman
into "his elaborate sex trafficking enterprise," the Daily Mail reported. "The lawsuit
alleges that Epstein had a compulsive sexual preference for little girls as young as
13-years-old."
The co-owners of
backpage.com
,
a website allegedly directly linked to child prostitution and trafficking, gave lots of
money to Democrats recently, including donations to:
David Garcia -- a Democratic candidate for governor in Arizona
A political action committee backed by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
The Arizona State Democratic Executive Committee
The Colorado Democratic Party
The Democratic Party of New Mexico
Two separate donations to Sen. Mark Udall (D-CO)
Two separate donations to Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ)
Democratic Connecticut Councilman Scott Chamberlain was forced to step down after
photographs of him allegedly emerged on a private website for "furries," a weird
subculture of people who dress up in furry costumes for sexual gratification.
Here's a bombshell for you- Whatever they discover, the mainstream media won't report

To find out whether Epstein was working for or even associated with anyone in the US or UK
Intelligence Community should be a trivial task for the DOJ. The question is whether the Trump DOJ
has the political will to investigate this and whether they would make the resulting answer public
knowledge or not. So far, Trump's DOJ hasn't shown much backbone and hasn't really delivered for the
Trump constituency in other matters. let's face it, essentially
every
single
issue that Trump pandered to his base on when campaigning he has either
intentionally
thrown
the issue in a way that is
guaranteed
to
result in a loss or failed to prosecute the issue in the first place. He hasn't proven himself yet
when it comes to legal challenges.
IMHO, Epstein was assisted by some politician who threatened Acosta by using the intelligence
community as the reason to back off on Epstein. This would have been the perfectly natural excuse,
especially in the years just after 9/11.
I'm pretty sure that Trump had no "collusion" or helped Epstein in anyway. This is a golden
opportunity for Trump to really inflict damage to the "Deep State" he claims is against him. Let's
hope he actually gets someone in DOJ to DO SOMETHING. So far Barr, Durham, Horowitz and Huber
haven't done anything. Is it a matter of timing or is Trump not getting things done but putting up a
good show?
Although the Epstein affair is probably a huge Democratic exposure, I believe the Globalist RINOs of
the GOP and their mega donors are also involved here.

A Zionists, Jewish Moussad agent gathering information on US political leaders? Highly plausible
and highly possible.
I'm sick to death with these Zionist Christians and Jews screaming "anti semite" every time some
truthful statement with merit criticizes Israel.
Just today I saw some independent large tow truck owner riding around with the words "Trump,
Christian, God, Pro-Life, Israel" written on the large crane arm of the tow truck.
I am pro-Trump, a Christian, believer in God, Pro-Life, but I'm not pro-Israel. What in the Hell
does Israel have to do with the first four things written? I am pro-USA and proud US patriot. My
allegiance is to the country of my birth, which is the USA. I owe absolutely no allegiance to
Israel.
Those Zionist Jewish bastards murdered US service men on the USS Liberty on June 8th, 1967.
My brothers and sisters in Christ in the Southern Baptist and non denominational faiths have been
brainwashed to believe they should and must support Israel. That Israel shares our values and are
more Godly than the USA.
Really? Would it shock the Hell out of those brainwashed Christians to know that Israel openly
believes in and has no problem with abortion?
Would it shock the Hell out of those brainwashed, Zionist US Christians to know how intolerant the
Zionist Israelis are becoming toward Christian brothers and sisters in Israel?
We, in the US, hear all the time from these evangelical Zionist Christians the USA is an unGodly
nation that God will not allow to stand much longer, while God protects and watches over Israel.
What a misrepresentation of facts and truth.
With all that said, it is highly plausible and believable to conceive that a Jewish billionaire
pedophile, and close friend to the Clintons, is also a secret Moussad agent gathering blackmail
information on US political leaders and business leaders.

Implications of the
"Chosen People" Myth | "Goyim Were Born Only to Serve Us"
Reading Yosef's remarks I also thought of Netanyahu's 2001 interview, leaked last July, in which
he frankly discussed his intention to ignore the Oslo Accords, continue settlements and launch a
"total assault" on the Palestinian Authority. When asked about a possible negative U.S.
reaction, he exclaimed: "Especially now, with America, I know what America is. America is a
thing that can be easily moved, moved in the right direction. They will not bother us. Let's
suppose that [the Americans] will say something . . . so they say it Eighty per cent of the
Americans support us. It's
absurd!
We
have such support there! And we say what shall we do with this?" He was virtually
ridiculing
the
pathetic manipulability of the U.S. public and Congress.
And then there was that statement by former Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon (also known as
the "butcher of Sabra and Shatila" due to his complicity in the annihilation of up to 3500
Palestinians refugees in Beirut during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982) to Foreign
Minister Shimon Peres in October 2001: "Every time we do something you tell me America will do
this and will do that I want to tell you something very clear: Don't worry about American
pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it."
Last March Vice President Joe Biden visited Israel to pledge the U.S.'s undying loyalty to the
Jewish state. His message was that, despite President Obama's request -- based on U.S.
geostrategic interests -- that Israel freeze settlement on occupied Palestinian land, and
Israel's refusal to do so more than partially and temporarily, U.S. support would continue as
always. The Israeli Interior Ministry (headed by Shas Party member Eli Yishai) used the occasion
of the visit to announce the construction of 1,600 new homes for Jews in occupied East
Jerusalem. The insult was so brazen that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton "condemned" the move
which she said "undermined trust and confidence in the peace process." Zionists responded with
their typical indignation. (The Anti-Defamation League called Clinton's remarks a "gross
overreaction" towards a "policy." Former New York City mayor Ed Koch accused Obama of wanting to
"make Israel into a pariah" and called Clinton's comments "outrageous.")
Then as Biden was addressing the Jewish Federations of North America two weeks ago assuring them
that U.S. support for Israel was "literally unbreakable," and would "continue forever," and
dismissing the recent rift as being "only tactical" in nature, Israel's cabinet announced
more
illegal
settlement housing construction plans.
Is all this mere chutzpah? Or is it the behavior of a true effendi? Is it not amazing that a
regime claiming to represent the Jews in Israel (under 0.01% of the total global human
population) or even all the Jews on the planet (under 0.02% of humankind) can boast of its
ability to arm-twist U.S. presidents? That officials in a country with a stagnant economy with
no raw materials dependent annually on two or three billion dollars in direct U.S. aid (matched
by private U.S. donors) to sustain a First World type living standard (for Jews if not for the
Palestinians in the occupied territories) can claim to "control America"? That it has been able
since 1972 to count on the U.S. to veto practically every UN resolution even mildly critical of
its behavior, often supported by all other member states except Israel itself?
Is it not amazing that such Zionists enjoy free license to provoke, thorough their occupations
and aggressions, the outrage of 1.57 billion Muslims (23% of the world's population), some of
whom predictably vent their rage on the U.S. as Israel's unconditional friend?
And is it not amazing that agents for Israel within AIPAC (Steven J. Rosen and Keith Weissman)
could spy in the U.S., obtain classified documents pertaining to Iran (which Israel demands the
U.S. bomb), get arrested by the FBI and charged with serious crimes in 2005, only to have all
charges dropped in 2009? Or that ranking Congresswoman Jane Harmon, who agreed to "waddle in" to
that case in an FBI-intercepted call with an Israeli agent, could escape any charges?
It could all be as simple as a wholly corrupt man taking advantage of all his corrupt connections.
There may be a foreign connection, but there might not be as well. It could be that "he belongs to
intelligence" was said simply because the person that said it risked blackmail, or a case of simple
cowardice in the face of influence and money.
"He smells dirty" - a line from the Fugitive movie, applies here. Hopefully the prosecutors will
expose the entire rat's nest, wherever it leads. Hopefully the prosecutors have bodyguards.

Every Democrat presidential candidate in the last 25 years has had pedophilia ties.
Take Obama for example.
Two weeks after the 2014 election, Terry Bean was busted in Portland. Bean was the co-founder of the
Human Rights Campaign, the most effective gay rights lobby in the country, whose donors included
Harvey Weinstein.
Bean was a big donor to Obama, Kerry and Gore.
At the Human Rights Campaign, Obama had directed a remark to "my great friend and supporter, Terry
Bean." Bean had raised over $1 million for Obama's political career.
Bean was accused of having sex with a 15-year-old boy. Bean's boyfriend, who had been brought along
to the White House to meet Obama, was also arrested. The boyfriend's mother accused Bean of using
him to "get young kids" by grooming them with gifts of alcohol and Viagra.
According to prosecutors, the Obama backer had engaged in this sort of behavior as far back as '79
when he had sex with a 16-year-old boy and plied him with alcohol and drugs. The victim, who is now
a middle aged doctor, had come out so that Bean would not be able to "keep on abusing young boys."
Despite denying the charges, Bean attempted to settle out of court with the boy. The prosecutor
stated that Bean had offered the victim at least $200,000.
That's a good deal of money. But only a fifth of what Obama got.
The boy declined to testify. Bean walked free.
Since then, Bean appears to have maxed out his donations to Hillary Clinton. There is no evidence
that Hillary or her people have returned them.

Acosta said that had his office not been involved, Epstein would have only faced one charge from
state prosecutors.
"Without the work of our prosecutors, Epstein would have gotten away with just that state
charge," Acosta said. "He was and is a sexual predator."
During a press conference on Wednesday, Acosta gave no indication he would resign after days of
calls by Democrats for him to step down and said he has the support of Republican President
Donald
Trump
.
"My relationship with the president is outstanding," Acosta said.
The labour secretary would not say if he would make the same decision regarding Epstein again
today.
Best-selling author Vicky Ward reported Tuesday that Alexander Acosta told the Trump transition team
when asked about his handling of Jeffrey Epstein's case that "I was told Epstein 'belonged to
intelligence' and to leave it alone."
Jeffrey Epstein's madame was Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of Robert Maxwell - a Mossad Agent. What
are the odds Epstein was also working for Mossad, CIA, and MI6? I mean the guy was blackmailing the
top politicians/businessmen in the USA via underage sex.
Here's a clue as to what intelligence agency may be behind Epstein via
The
Memory Hole
:
Epstein's pals include heads of state, entrepreneurs, academics and research scientists,
celebrities, and numerous beautiful women, notably Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of media mogul
Robert Maxwell (né Ján Ludvík Hyman Binyamin Hoch). Robert Maxwell, head of the Mirror Group
Newspapers, was alleged to be a Mossad agent by Seymour Hersh in his 1991 book on Israel's

Was/is Epstein working for the Mossad?
July 9 2019 – The David Duke Show: Dr Duke & Andy Hitchcock Expose The Epstein Island International
Sex Ring & Reveal The Evidence It Is A Mossad Operation!
From 1989 up until 2003, Epstein donated more than $139,000 to Democratic federal
candidates. Notable recipients included former President Bill Clinton.
From 1999 to 2003, Epstein donated $77,000 to Democrats John Kerry, Richard Gephardt, Chris Dodd,
and other high-profile politicians and committees.
Epstein gave to independent Connecticut House candidate Gwendolyn Beck in 2014 and U.S. Virgin
Islands Democratic Delegate Stacey Plaskett both in 2016 and the most recent midterms.
Most recently, Epstein contributed $10,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in
October 2018.
Epstein was one of the largest investors in the hedge fund managed by Bear Stearns and a key federal
witness in the criminal prosecution of two of Bear Stearns' top executives in 2008 -- the same year a
non-prosecution agreement between federal prosecutors and Epstein's legal team was negotiated. It
isn't clear if Epstein's involvement in the Bear Stearns case played a role in his plea deal.
Of course Epstein contributed to Bubba...dat was a regular customer, [gee was it 26 times or only
four? only Clintons hairdresser and Epstein know for sure] and Epstein also got a fabulous amount of
black mail footage on Bubbs, which then allowed Esptein to leverage this, to allow him to peddle to
diddlers at will, as well as doing his own diddling, while becoming fabulously rich
Here is a theory you may want to think about...say your Epstein (I know ******* repulsive to think
about) but still...say you know that they all know you have the drop on all of them, you know you

Stop advertising the Mossad. Mossad is not so omnipotent as you think. More empty advertising than
real affairs. For all the time they caught and stole only one old Nazi alcoholic Eichmann, who did
not occupy such a big post in the 3rd Reich. For the stench and advertising was, to the whole world!
Jews can do advertising, and you immediately believe everything. Hezbollah also stole Israeli
military Gilad Shalit. Look at the failure of the Mossad and Israel in the second Lebanon war of
2006. It was Lebanon and Hezbollah.
At 9 am on July 12, Hezbollah militants from Lebanon struck a rocket and mortar attack on the
fortified Nurit point and the border village of Shlomi, wounding 11 people. Simultaneously with this
distracting action, a group of militants crossed the border and attacked two Humvi patrol vehicles
from an ambush. Three soldiers were killed, two captured - Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev. The
operation to free the captives after two hours resulted in the loss of 5 more Israeli soldiers.
And in the future, the events unfolded for Israel is very unfortunate

A-List Democrats and left wing journalists partied with Jeffrey Epstein who was a raging Democrat.
Epstein was let out of jail, Palm Beach County jail, after serving 10 months, but he was allowed to
leave for 12 hours a day and then basically spend the night. He was allowed to go to his Palm Beach
house and do whatever he was doing, ankle bracelet kind of thing, and then go back and spend the
night in the jail. Obviously a sweetheart deal for 10 months and then he was released for a time
with I think home whatever.
When he got out of jail, he has a dinner party and at the dinner party,

George

, all of these A-list, left-wing journalist and socialite A-listers that show up
at cocktail parties, they're all there, and they know what the guy did, they know who he is, they
know what he does.
Another woman, Sarah Ransome, also submitted an affidavit with the lawsuit with new details
about sex she claims she had with Dershowitz.
Ransome says that she was introduced to Epstein when she was 22 years old and living in New
York. She claims that she spent time at Epstein's mansion and was "lent out" by him to his
friends for sex. Among those friends was Dershowitz, she said in the affidavit. She alleges she
had a three-way sexual encounter with Dershowitz and Nadia Marcinkova, who also worked for
Epstein.
"I recall specific, key details of his person and the sex acts and can describe them in the
event it becomes necessary to do so," Ransome said in the affidavit.
When I hear that Jews are too powerful, my response is, we are not powerful enough. When I hear
that AIPAC is too influential a lobby, I say it must become even more influential. When I hear
that Jews contribute too much money to support pro-Israel causes, I say we must contribute more.
When I hear that Jews control the media, I ask "Why is so much of the media so anti-Israel?"
When I hear that Jews have too much influence on the outcome of elections, I say we need to
increase our influence. We aren't doing enough. We must do more.
Jews have contributed enormously -- disproportionately -- to America's success. Along with other
immigrants, Jews have helped change our country for the better: academically, scientifically,
economically, politically, militarily, medically, legally, technologically and in so many other
ways. We have earned the right to act as first-class citizens. No other group is ever accused of
having too much power and influence. That false claim -- dating back to times and places where
Jews had little or no influence -- is an anti-Semitic trope that tells us more about the
anti-Semites who invoke it that it does about the Jews.
History has proven that Jews
need
more
power and influence than other groups to secure their safety.
Doesnt occur to him that the perpetual Jewish effort to grab disproportionate power as a hostile
minority elite is WHY they need 'safety.' Or the ways in which Judaism teaches Jews to regard their
non-Jewish ethnic host.
Stacey Plaskett, the delegate to the U.S House of Representatives from the Virgin Islands, is
unlikely to return the thousands of dollars donated to her campaign by Jeffrey Epstein, a
billionaire sex offender recently arrested for child sex trafficking.
Plaskett, a black Democrat, has served as the island territory's representative to Congress since
first being elected in 2014. Throughout her tenure, Plaskett has received $8,100 from Epstein, who
owns his own private island in the Virgin Islands territory called Little Saint James. The majority
of the money, $5,400, was donated during Plaskett's 2016 reelection campaign when she faced a strong
primary opponent. Epstein's latest donation of $2,700 -- the maximum contribution allowed at the time
under FEC guidelines -- was during the 2018 campaign cycle.
Prior to his 2008 conviction, Epstein was an influential political donor, noted for his support of
Democrat candidates and causes. From 1989 to 2003, he donated more than $139,000 to Democrats
running for federal office, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
The Epstein case looks like a 'honeypot' operation

Voight wanted in the 1998 "Enemy Of The State" (which laid out the 911 attacks three years

the same case which involved the FBI and stretch back to Israeli actions in the 1970's. And yes,
there is (so much) more to say. What did you think of that nuclear missile fired at Hawaii? How do

It really looks like Epstein is potentially the stopper that needs to be pulled to start draining

absolutely believe, that has even deeper implications than just a pedo billionaire blackmailing
powerful people around the world. Though the latter is still something that if understood by the
general populace, would be ground-shattering in its own right. But if this goes back to the CIA or

understanding that an organization which deals in the trade of lying, cheating and stealing

the CIA put a pedo billionaire up to ensnaring rich and powerful people and using that for

Another piece per Wayne Madsen:
It is noteworthy that Attorney General William Barr, seen as Trump's personal lawyer and hatchet
man, may have known Epstein in the 1970s. In 1973,
Donald
Barr, the headmaster of Manhattan's elite Dalton School
a private school for children of some
of New York's wealthiest families,
hired
Epstein, who did not even possess a college degree, to teach mathematics, physics, and calculus.
Students
attending Dalton at the time included the son of Alan Greenberg, the chairman of the now-defunct
Wall Street firm Bear Stearns. In 1976, Greenberg hired Epstein to be a trader at Bear Stearns
and the degree-less math teacher soon became a billionaire
. Others attending Dalton during
Epstein's tenure include actresses Jennifer Gray and Tracy Pollan and television's "Bizarre
Foods" chef Andrew Zimmern. Epstein's association with Barr have some observers jokingly
referring to the matter as the "Epstein-Barr" case.
...
What is most interesting is the fact that the
SDNY's
Public Corruption Unit (PCU) is handling the case against Epstein. This has raised eyebrows
among experienced former federal prosecutors because it indicates that the Epstein case may
involve malfeasance in office by government officials
. Also, one of the SDNY prosecutors
handling the Epstein case in Maureen Comey, the daughter of former FBI director James Comey, who
Trump fired in 2007 during a fit of rage. Ms. Comey, a graduate of Harvard Law School, has been
with the SDNY since 2015 and is with the Office's Violent and Organized Crime Unit. WMR has
compiled a 'massive database showing thousands of Trump links to organized crime elements in New
York and elsewhere'.
...
Epstein victim, Giuffre, represented by David Boies, the chairman of Boies, Schiller & Flexner,
has
a pending lawsuit against Maxwell, claiming that Epstein's assistant turned her into a "sex
slave."
The suit also involves making public sealed court documents that not only implicate
Maxwell in Epstein's trafficking ring but also Dershowitz and other VIPs.
The involvement of British citizen Maxwell and Prince Andrew in the Epstein matter is drawing
attention to another recent story concerning
top
secret cables sent to London from Washington by British ambassador to the United States Kim
Darroch
. Among the recipients of Darroch's cables was Mark Sedwill, the British national
security adviser and Cabinet Secretary.
Darroch
warned in one dispatch to London that, with Trump, "we could also be at the beginning of a
downward spiral, rather than just a roller coaster: something could emerge that leads to
disgrace and downfall."
With the FBI involved in the renewed criminal probe of Epstein that links to Maxwell and Prince
Andrew, the
British
ambassador would have, as a matter of course, been briefed by federal authorities on prominent
UK citizens being in legal extremis in the United States
.

I have people saying in the comments that the Mossad couldn't have gotten the federal prosecutor to
back off and other things in regard to America the CIA did it, yes and no. I'm going to bring up 2
movies one a real movie called Safehouse and the other a documentary. Remember Safehouse with
Denzel Washington, you remember when he went to that bar in the beginning to get blackmail
information to protect himself and/or have leverage over others that want him dead. There was a
scene toward the end with Brendan Gleeson talking to Vera Farmiga *(both CIA agents) before he
killed her about having to do your job but having people following you and always watching and
recording what you do. I think this comment was essentially a dig at the Mossad and how they do
their work. The Mossad are used to help CIA or other world intelligence organizations and when they
do help they make sure to keep record, tapes, information on the people and what happened so they
can essentially blackmail those agents at a later time to help them and then when they do they
become more compromised and eventually their own agents are afraid of being outed to their superiors
and maybe the Mossad say look we will help you to get up in your boss position so those agents help
to take down their bosses and such and now you see how those agents are so beholden to the Mossad
and have done so much both privately and helping the Mossad that they don't dare go against them and
end up doing life in some dark hole somewhere for being a traitor.
This is classic, classic spy 101 to slowly get them so buried in that hole that their only way out
is to stay on the Mossad team and there was no way out. Also the second film which was a
documentary of sorts I need help with, so anybody that can find this documentary that was on
HBO/encore please tell me the name I was flipping channels when I stopped on the channel to watch
it. In this documentary it was in a part of India where there was alot of white/european hippies,
but as the documentary continued you started to noticed that the ones being filmed where Israeli and
they even had one that actually said (Older guy) he was retired Mossad. It was essentially them
living around in this area but while they lived there one older guy acted like a watcher/fixer for
the group. Because one of the crowd of Israeli (youngish guy I would say 27 but they wouldn't show
his face), started to spout about conspiracy **** that we have heard and kept on going and going as
if he did things real bad and was trying to clear his soul in some ways. Well this "fixer" was able
to get in contact with some Israeli govt. official that "happen" to fly into that part of India for
some state issue. The camera man was able to video tape this Israeli watcher/fixer taking the
official to the side and talking to him with his hand over his mouth and later in the documentary we
found out that the same young guy that was talking and saying all that stuff was put on that private
plane that flew in and flew out with that govt. official.
Remember everyone over 6 years ago that Mossad hit team that was shown by video surveillance taking
out a Hamas weapons dealer in Dubai or some other country (first time seeing this ever) and forensic
put it all together. Where do people like this and others who do black back or blackmail or steal
or do whatever the Mossad wants where do they retire or go to get away? Not all of them can be
wealth, nope they can't. I think that documentary that I saw showed a Mossad spy (not retirement
home) but a place for them to essentially chill out for awhile. But as it was pointed out why was a
documentary film person filming this, who knows.
But I do know that what little bits and pieces that we have put together, it's possible for them to
have circumvented intelligence agencies. Remember, they are only men and women with the same
problems we have working in those important places.

Two possibilities as I see it: either Epstein was caught with his pants down, but some agency
thought he might be useful, or his billions bought him agency protection, along with the power of
being part of the inner sanctum.
Personally, I don't believe that word didn't get around very, very quickly that Epstein was a dodgy
paedophilic blackmailer, so his use would have been limited unless no action was ever taken against
his "victims". On balance, the third and most likely option is this is disinformation put out by
Epstein to give himself some validity. Don't forget: everybody lies.

Spying for Israel Is
Consequence Free Hollywood billionaire was a spy, an illegal arms merchant and a corrupter of
politicians
I asked "Why is this scumbag still making movies in Hollywood? Why isn't he in jail?" before
concluding that the federal government clearly regards spying for Israel as a victimless crime,
rarely arresting anyone and almost never prosecuting any of the numerous easily identifiable
Israeli intelligence agents roaming the country.
Milchan was an active Israeli spy in the U.S., working for the Mossad technology theft division
referred to as LEKEM. The Mossad frequently uses so-called sayanimin its espionage, which means
diaspora Jews that it recruits on the basis of a shared religion or concern for the security of
Israel. The threat coming from Israeli Embassy operatives inside the United States is such that
the Department of Defense once
warned
that
Jewish Americans in government would likely be the targets of their intelligence approaches.
President John F. Kennedy had tried to stop the Israeli nuclear weapons program but was
assassinated before he could end it. By 1965,
the
Jewish state had nevertheless obtained
the raw material for a bomb consisting of U.S.
government owned highly enriched weapons grade uranium obtained from a company in Pennsylvania
called NUMEC, which was founded in 1956 and owned by Zalman Mordecai Shapiro, head of the
Pittsburgh chapter of the Zionist Organization of America. NUMEC was a supplier of enriched
uranium for government projects but it was also from the start a front for the Israeli nuclear
program, with its chief funder David Lowenthal, a leading Zionist, traveling to Israel at least
once a month where he would meet with an old friend Meir Amit, who headed Israeli intelligence.

Per Wayne Madsen:
Former President Bill Clinton's
inane
accusation that Russian intelligence is behind news
reports concerning the involvement of
Duke of York, Prince Andrew, in an underage sex slave ring run by convicted pederast and Florida
billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, is a last-ditch attempt by the former president to salvage the
flagging 2016 presidential prospects of his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Justice for the teens abused by Epstein, and allegedly by his friends Andrew and others, may be
elusive.
Florida
prosecutors who worked for both Jeb Bush and, later, GOP Governor Charlie Crist, arranged for a
"non-prosecution agreement" (NPA) that shielded Epstein and any "potential co-conspirators
"
from federal prosecutions after Epstein agreed to the plea deal that saw him plead guilty to a
single state charge of soliciting prostitution, without any mention of the age of the so-called
"prostitutes."
The
no-further-prosecution deal was worked out between Epstein's lawyers and Florida and the federal
government. Epstein's lawyers happened to be Alan Dershowitz; Kenneth Starr, the independent
counsel of "Monicagate" fame; and Miami celebrity trial lawyer Roy Black
. The terms of the
NPA were called into question in a letter written in 2011 by former U.S. Attorney for the
Southern District of Florida, R. Alexander Acosta, and the dubious deal-making with Epstein's
lawyers during Bush's and Crist's tenure is clearly apparent:
Police Dismantle Massive
Child Sex Slavery Ring Run By Israelis, Fmr IDF Soldier -- MSM Silent
MEDELLÍN, COLOMBIA --
(MPN)
A
large child sex slavery ring overseen by Israelis
was
dismantled
by Colombian police earlier this week, in a story that has shocked Colombia and
much of Latin America but received minimal coverage from mainstream Western media outlets. The
network had been active since 2011 and expressly "recruited" young, underage females in
situations of economic hardship or domestic abuse to work as "sex slaves" catering to Israeli
tourists visiting Colombia.
According to judicial sources
cited
by
El Colombiano
, the tourism
packages sold by Mush and his cohorts involved taking Israeli men – most of them businessmen or
men who recently ended their compulsory military service in the IDF – to parties at a variety of
locales such as hostels, hotels, farms and yachts, where the main attraction was the sexual
exploitation of underage women and the mass consumption of narcotics and alcohol. The sites
where the exploitation occurred offered lodging or services exclusively to Israeli tourists, a
practice that is surprisingly common in frequented tourist destinations throughout South
America.
Mush was expelled from Colombia in November of last year after a massive sex party was broken up
by police and illicit drugs were found at the scene. By that time, authorities had already
determined the existence of the network and his accomplices.

According to those who have accused Epstein of sexual abuse, Maxwell's predilection for managing
his life extended to his sex life as well. In 2018,
Epstein
and Maxwell
settled
a lawsuit brought against them by a woman named Sarah Ransome
, who alleged that Maxwell
hired her to give Epstein massages at his home. Between 2006 and 2007, Ransome alleged,
the
two promised to pay her tuition to FIT in exchange for Ransome providing sexual favors to
Epstein and his friends,
including
lawyer Alan Dershowitz
. (Dershowitz has repeatedly denied the charges;
Ransome's
suit was settled in 2018
under undisclosed terms.)
Last April, another woman and former Epstein employee, Maria Farmer, alleged that
Maxwell
and Epstein
had
sexually
abused her and her 15-year-old sister on two separate occasions
in the mid-1990s. She also
alleged that
she
frequently saw a "number of school-age girls" come to Epstein's New York City home
. "When I
asked Maxwell why these young girls were coming over to the house so often she said that the
girls were interviewing for modeling positions," Farmer
said
.
"At the time, based on my observations at the home, it did not seem credible to me that these
young girls were interviewing for modeling positions."
Farmer's allegations surfaced as the result of a
defamation
lawsuit filed against Dershowitz by Virginia Giuffre, who also named Maxwell
in
a
2015 civil suit against Epstein. In the suit, Giuffre (then identified as Jane Doe 3)
alleged
that during the summer of 1999,
when
she was 16 years old and working as a towel girl at Trump's Palm Beach resort Mar-a-Lago,
Maxwell recruited her to serve as Epstein's massage therapist. Giuffre alleged that Maxwell and
Epstein instructed her to have sex with him and his friends, including Dershowitz
.
Dershowitz publicly denied her claims and accused Giuffre of making them up, prompting Giuffre
to sue him for defamation. Last week, Dershowitz filed a motion for a federal judge to
dismiss
the defamation suit
.
When Acosta says "intelligence" he means CIA. That's the missing link here folks. However much the
Mossad was running Epstein, the Mossad doesn't get the FBI to ignore complaints for decades, and the
Mossad doesn't get prosecutors and judges to give sweetheart deals, not in the USA, in the USA the
CIA does that.
The Mossad often does the dirty work for Israel's creator, the British, so they can maintain their
"special relationship" with US on the one hand while playing hardball on the other. Given the Queen
was on the list for pedo-island too, it's probably all three: MI6, Mossad and CIA. My point is that
in the USA, the Mossad would have had to have at least gotten the CIA in on it in order to call off
the FBI for decades, and then finally get the sweetheart deal from Acosta and the judge. (Don't
forget, a judge had to sign off on the plea deal too; I don't see the judge mentioned?)

Alex Acosta had the temerity to tweet this little gem yesterday (for which he took a beating in the
replies to his tweet):
EPSTEIN WAS (IS) MEMBER OF THE
CFR
AND
TRILATERAL
COMMISSION
Epstein used his money to construct a worldwide network of contacts. He donated large sums
toward neuroscience research at Harvard and a California lab. He invited researchers to his New
York house and talked math with them over equations scrawled on a blackboard in his dining room.
He flew former president Bill Clinton and actor Kevin Spacey to Africa to promote AIDS
awareness.
He was a
member of the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations.
Failing TDS magazine Rolling Stone, founded by a sexual predator, Jann Wenner displays perfectly the

relocated to Ohio; in 1996, Epstein moved into the town house. Public documents suggest that the

Let's assume Epstein was running a blackmail op; this may explain
his wealth. But, that is only money. The real prize would be an
abundance of blackmail material on someone before he/she becomes
powerful. The real prize would be absolute control over the most
powerful man in the world. Anyone on that list who became powerful?
One would think that continuing the blackmail would be preferable
to ending such a once in a lifetime windfall to save the
blackmailer, no? Epstein will never play his trump card. He has
nothing to gain and everything to lose by flipping on Trump. In the
meantime, y'all can fill in the blanks for your choice of a

Epstein was a major player before this came out. He was on the Trilateral Commission with Henry
Kissinger, he was on the board of the Rockefeller Foundation, he was a major donor to Harvard. All
the press about him wrote of how brilliant and what a philanthropist he was.
His rolodex included EVERYBODY and his motto was to have everyone owe him a favor.
He never spilled the beans on who he provided girls to and his accomplices walked away just like
Hillary's did in the email scandal.
Names came out in depositions but those were sealed until a judge ruled them to be released a few

Just finished reading Conchita Sarnoff's book on Epstein "Traffic King". She's a journalist who is
also a crusader against children sex trafficking.
Epstein undoubtedly had big names in compromising sexual situations but he also was a major child
sex trafficker which is big business in the US.
He brought young girls in through a modeling agency, promising them and their parents modeling jobs.
There have been tough Federal laws against child sex trafficking since 2000. Epstein wasn't charged
under that.
These girls had to have visas. Immigration was never asked to look into the girls' status.
Acosta didn't have the juice to shut those investigations down or ignore the violations.
Makes you wonder if one of the reasons the Dems don't want the borders secure is it will make child
sex trafficking more difficult???

Even if I would like to find this out as well, I won't be holding my breath. His handlers sure
won't be providing info on that. I'm sure Epstein knows when to keep his mouth shut and any sweet
deal he gets now would still rely on him keeping his mouth shut. Chances are these same folks are
the ones telling him who he can and can't rat on. If Epstein was was of the first to "invest" in
the Clinton Foundation, this also adds another piece to the puzzle since the CF also seems to be a
protected entity. Like I said before I detect the stench of CIA/Mossad/MI6.

The "service" that Epstein provided for human scum is simple. You have a plane you provide a human
and drug shipping service. By Epstein putting scum bags like a rapists Clinton or some EU fucktard
on the plane is then they put diplomat immunity bags on the plane. So they could move drugs and
human sex slaves without security (customs) looking too close. For this Epstein was paid. Let's say
your one of these Elite scum bags and you want to move a large quantity of cash. Call Epstein. Want
to move drugs call Epstein. Then depending on the secrecy of your move depended on cost of what scum
bag political fucktard he would put along to cover your ****. Maybe there were more than one
intelligence agency that also was paying Epstein. Probably CIA, Mossad , MI6 ,DGSE and SVR .

Appears republicans are now realizing that what Acosta did was wrong:
Suspect that Epstein was an blackmail operative for a cooperative program between Israel's Mossad
and CIA/FBI to collect compromising material on certain targeted Congress members to maintain
control over them.
Suspect it is also related to US Congress members who work for Israel as "DUAL" citizens. Those
Israeli DUALS who scream loudest for Acosta to quit as Labor Secy on the top of the list for
involvement in the blackmail operation as Handlers within Congress.
"Above then US Attorney Acosta's pay-grade" would be the Chiefs of FBI and CIA at the time. 2007 was

Italy arrests 18 for
allegedly brainwashing and selling children
Italian police have arrested 18 people including a mayor, doctors and social workers for
allegedly brainwashing vulnerable children into thinking their parents had abused them so they
could then be sold to foster parents.
"If we can somehow get to the bottom of Epstein I suspect we'll learn a lot about how the world of
the powerful really works, and why everything is so fked and corrupt."
Then may I suggest you are NOT as good a researcher as you make out. As most of that information is
already out there
This came up through the state courts and was fully exposed by the Miami Herald, and it blindsided
Barr and Trump. A lot of people here think this is Trump cleaning the swamp. I suggest you recheck
the facts. Paul Cessell reopened this case at the state level. Trump's relationship with Epstein
will need to be looked at closely, especially the timelines. I'm especially interested in what Trump
knew about Epstein, 4 years before he was arrested in 2008 for child trafficking. Holding back
information about a crime is a crime.
This looks like Israel, and we all can see with open eyes that Trump has given Israel more than most
before him. It doesn't look good and we need to ask the hard questions. This is a national security
issue and it befuddles me why Epstein is not at Guantanamo at this very moment. Instead, he is
enjoying constitutional rights. This stinks to high heaven.

So why didn't Mueller bring this up in his investigation? That would have been prime time to do
so...if...if what you "think" is the circumstance, is really the circumstance that is. Mueller would
know it all since he was behind letting ol' Jeffrey off the first time. Wouldn't letting him off the
first time be a crime of obstruction too...on Mueller? He is the one whose job it was in the first
place.
Trump had his suspicions, I'm pretty certain about that...but if you have no "evidence", what can
you do...but get SUED or "Arkancided" given all the players we DO KNOW are more likely involved
because of some pretty overwhelming "coincidences" in their ties to Epstein.
You're reaching here...anything is possible in this world and nothing can be proven to "not have
happened"...but this is pure conjecture at this point on your part regarding Trump compared to where

Just a few simple questions. Why did Trump unfriend Epstein? Was Epstein a bad golfer? Was he always
late paying his club dues. What upset Trump to go from "he is a terrific guy" to "I am not a fan of
Epstein"?
Mind you, this all happened, according to Trump, 15 years ago. That is 4 years before the
investigation into Epstein started. And by the way, the person who informed the police was a mother
of one of the victims.
If Trump knew about Epstein activities, then distancing himself was not
enough. He had knowledge of a crime and didn't report it. That is illegal, and more so if children
are involved.
I highly doubt that Epstein case will result in any arrests of high powered politicians or
major celebrities (maybe they'll arrest a few pilots or chauffeurs, but no billionaires). I
also remember all the talk of Anthony Wiener's laptop and his "Insurance folder", but that
didn't lead to anything.
If even 1/10 of all the rumors surrounding these people were true, it would rank as the
greatest political scandal in the last 200 years and would be nothing less than a
geopolitical earthquake that would totally reshape the Western world. It would certainly
destroy the current Neoliberal international world order, as nations would become terrified
that their political stability would harmed if their national elites would become enmeshed in
another international scandal
We do not know why Epstein resurfaced, there was no need to re-open the case unless 'they'
wanted it to be reopened. Thus, there is definitely a deeper political purpose behind this.
As I know the higher ups in both Democrat and Republican Party are in one way or another
involved in this (both Clinton and Trump visited his island and I am sure many more prominent
high ranking US career politicians), this could indeed be equally dangerous for either
political party.
However, I don't think Trump needs convincing with regard to Iran he has been all in on
that from day 1 of his presidency and never hesitated a moment to tear up the JCPOA. Bibi was
right when he said there was never a US president as friendly towards Israel than Donald
Trump. His actions have spoken louder than words. So for this case, we will just have to wait
and see what pieces of information they allow the MSM to publish and we will know who they
are after or what bigger political goal is at play.
Something does not smell right about this.
It's not like Epstein was some obscure issue or that Trump was uninformed about the case.
Who would allow a person with such baggage on the team?
And the issue was raised so no possibility it was over-looked.
Congress (including the now concerned repubs) had their shot at him, where was the
indignation?
Looks like people were told to disregard the issue, until now.
Now like good soldiers they are all barking alert.
Looks like this guy was a plant, an insurance policy maybe.
Now that policy has been triggered - has Trump failed in playing his role?
Trumps ex-pal Epstein linked to intelligence. Makes sense given he has Robert Maxwell's
daughter doing the procuring. His was likely a black mail operation run by the intelligence
agency
Trumps other ex-pal (partner) was also linked to intelligence. Bayrocks Felix Sater. I
imagine some of their business practices could have landed Trump in jail unless like Felix he
cooperated
Could Trump himself be a an intelligent asset? Perhaps under duress through his activities
with Jeffrey and Felix.
If so, indeed the question is if its Israels or the US agency, or is there any difference
now.
I don't pretend to know the answers.
Whats the end game?. Comeys daughter is one of the NY prosecutors.Dershowitz is an Israeli
puppet and was behind getting the sealed files opened. Is Clinton and the Dems the target or
is it meant to pressure Trump to go hard on Iran or risk something coming out? Something
else?
I cant help but wonder why nobody choses to remind us about the case filed against Trump
in 2016, where a woman claimed rape at age 13 at Epstein's apartment. Is wasn't covered much
at the time either. Apparently silently withdrawn. Curious no? Not even the so called Deep
State Media that everyone believes was against Trump. Theydon't seem to want to touch it now
either. Maybe its just BS.
Of course, maybe just more distraction as they continue fleecing the bottom 90%
Billionaire, $6 B, Les Wexner, L Brands, Victoria's Secret.
from Wiki
Wexner had a close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, who managed Wexner's financial
assets. Wexner and Epstein parted when Epstein went to prison.[25] Wexner was believed to be
the primary source of Epstein's wealth. [26]
I am trying to link Wexner with the Bronfman's (Seagrams Liquor Family) via a source other
than the Mega Group (which may not be credible, IDK).Clare Bronfman and NEXIVM.
Looks like Epstein was running a high powered honey trap to ensnare Politicians, Lawyers,
Government employees for the express purpose of promoting the "Greater Israel Project".
@fastfreddy - While I hesitate to engage in the ubiquitous Israel is at the root of all

(now or when whatever shakes out of this) to compare the record on votes of importance to
Israeli interests of any politician who gets implicated or indicted with who doesn't.
Protecting Epstein and his clients is secondary. The main goal is to protect his

Regarding MSM reluctance to mention rape of 12 and 13 year olds by Trump, as several
commentators noted, here's a January 2017 wrap up of those matters with leading to other
links: "Welcome To Waterbury: The city that holds secrets that could bring down Trump," Jan.
9, 2018.
http://www.justice-integrity.org/1445-welcome-to-waterbury-the-city-that-holds-secrets-that-could-bring-down-trump.
My colleague Wayne Madsen and I filed a FOIA action today at the U.S. Justice Department
seeking further records.
Our view is that this is an intelligence / foreign policy operation and it's likely that
Epstein's time has run out, an occupational hazard in that field. Further, Madsen and I have
written separate books years ago documenting that all U.S. presidents after Carter -- but not
yet Trump as proven -- have been covert assets of the CIA or FBI before -- stress that --
they entered politics. That's the way it is, and helps explain a lot of the complaints in
comments above. Trump is in his own category of a corrupt stooge -- that's not necessarily
better.
Can recommend excellent 2008 book "Flat Earth News" by longtime UK journalist Nick Davies
that describes the deeply flawed nature of MSM from his perspective as a Guardian and other
UK journalist, who aptly describes why lies and quarter-truths get printed. That's a longer
story but the gist is what many here are suggesting.
After years of study and many many books I believe the Mossad and CIA are one and the
same. The Mossad is very useful when leaving sovereign footprints is verboten--and vice
versa.
"...'Belongs to intelligence' makes a lot of sense. The question is to which one. A lot
of people will says "Mossad" but I don't believe that to be the (full) truth ..."
At the level that Jeffrey Epstein is operating, he is loyal primarily to himself but
happily takes his reward from whichever intel agency at any time offers him the most or whose
interests might prove the most lucrative for him.
And the interests of American, British, Israeli and other nations' intelligence agencies
are surely so entwined that picking them apart is impossible. One thing for sure though: none
of them serve the interests of the nations they supposedly work for.
The function of the CIA/Mossad is to make sure the agenda and the narrative of the Deep
State gets served. In that case one could truly blame Epstein's actions on individuals, or
groups of individuals who dictate orders to the Mossad/CIA.
Epstein reminds me of the Bill Browder affair. And the statement: To know who are the
rulers not which are the ones you are not permitted to criticize. Or somethinh like that.
If indeed they are after Trump as he failed them on 'Iran', then it makes absolute sense that
Dershowitz and Cernovich had the records unsealed as both are strong, strong Zionists and
supporters of Israel. Getting a judge do the thing they need is just a formality. I agree
with some writer above who asked, why the publicity if pressure can be applied in secret
without the media being involved? But this may be the stated goal to bring Trump either
completely in line now or publicly topple his presidency.
I get why @94 Really? and others would be sceptical at this stage but I know strong
powers in the Zionist/Neo-con deep state want a direct confrontation with Iran for myriad
number of reasons (stop the BRI, deal a blow to Syria and Hizbollah, take out Israel's No 1
enemy etc, shore up the Petrodollar), and Trump was still the most likely candidate to follow
through with this, given his proximity to Zionism. So far he also has dully followed through
with everything imaginable, except for actually attacking Iran.
Interesting development indeed. B. Clinton could be collateral damage, at this stage their
power is overestimated in my opinion.
Okay, An "intelligence op," but which one? The Epstein/Mueller link was made several
months ago. I don't see any irregularities in the court judgement to order the unsealing as
it's been ongoing for almost 2.5 years and involves odd bedfellows. Was Mueller even aware of
the attempt to unseal Epstein's case? So many questions!
Arnon Milchan? He was Israeli. Should he be punished, absolutely. But you know who should
be hung? Robert DeNiro. He knew Arnon Milchan was a spy and kept his mouth shut for decades.
He is a POS of epic proportions.
Insofar as Epstein is concerned. It is all about timing. Mueller is set to testify and
probably has skeletons in his closet with regards to Epstein's case. He is likely being told
implicitly via the Epstein arrest to be on his best behavior by Barr, and Barr at this age
probably can care less that Epstein is being sacrificed so he can make his point,
particularly since Barr is probably the 2nd most powerful person in the USA right now.
Epstein was extremely likely an Israeli asset. The Israelis have through political power
and force convinced many in the US IC that their ship is sailing in the same direction, and
that they should be allowed to serve as the US's dog on a leash, and once in a while be
unleashed to do what the US won't. So while he was an Israeli asset, his resources (that is
compromising material) was often made available to the CIA, and thus Acosta was told that he
is an intelligence asset.
The fireworks will start to fly if and when Epstein realizes he is being hung out to dry
and won't be saved. But like almost every other case involving such rich and powerful people,
don't hold your breath for justice to be served in the US.

they have reached biological puberty? Never mind their mental maturity? So sexual relations
involving young women is ok what about sexual relations with young men? This has nothing to
do with a false pretentious morality but with the fact that teenagers have not yet reached
the level of mental maturity that protects them from sexual exploitation that will haunt them
for the rest of their lives, never mind their biological functions and ability to conceive or
sire children. It is really puzzling that I even need to make these elaborations in here!
In many ways this thread is as sickening as the subject it discusses. All sorts of types left
and right competing to show that they have the most insight into the forces behind the anal
rape of a 12 year old girl See Andrew Kreig's excellent piece which does consider the horror
of the acts, rather than just whether or not it plays into the particular vision of 'power
politics' each poster invokes). In no instance does anyone express disgust at the actions of
these low life scum other than for the corruption of the pols such as Acosta.
The glee which so many have displayed jumping into this horror story because it can be
twisted and forced into their own particular theory about "how the world really works" while
totally ignoring that these humans who were abducted at age eleven or twelve & then sold
like cattle, now inhabit the netherworld of 'the great society' living in the fringes of
prosperous cities in a ramshackle 'double wide', reveals a psychic corruption not a million
miles away from that of the rapists.
This story is those young boys & girls, anyone who claims to want to use it to force
the greedy rapists and warmongering grubs to face justice, will not succeed as long as they
waste time speculating who works for who and who is really in control.
Prince Andrew still bludges off taxpayers despite being photographed with his arm around
one of his victims, if you're english & really care about stopping this scum, instead of
speculating on which shadowy 'palace spokesman suggested that the
Daily Mail include the line "There is no suggestion that the duke had any sexual contact
at the house, or knew what was allegedly going on there" you will find out how the at the
time 17 y.o. Virginia Roberts feels about her public destruction now (A child the Mail
described as an erotic masseuse - presumably to reduce the horror a normal human reacts to
that pic whilst ensuring the victim is so humiliated she causes no further problem for "the
royal family's" number one arms salesman). This victim first hung out with the andrew sleaze
when she was 17 at the pimp's Florida hell hole where the age of consent is 18.
Concentrating on the effect on victims while protecting them from further harm will bring
the creeps undone - nothing else will. It was only once people began to see past the priests
claims that "the victims led me on" and considered the huge power imbalance that the catholic
church came unstuck.
Most of all without humanity, there is no difference between any of us and the scum we
criticise.
Now, to be on topic, why the insistence that Epstein finally getting outed for real is
some mysterious intel op? The CIA has been screwing up left, right and center for years, so
is it any surprise that one of their major kompromat operations is getting exposed? Their
foolproof plan to install their tool Clinton in the White House in 2016 failed spectacularly
and blew up in their faces, so tell me again how great they are at running covert ops? The
CIA's own version of James Bond gets snuffed by the CIA's own death squads in Benghazi, but
people still think the CIA has a clue what they're doing? The CIA's operatives in multiple
embassies are being incapacitated by freakin' crickets and people think these clowns
still somehow maintain some vestigial link to reality?
No, this is simply another massive screw-up by the establishment. This blind-sided the
Deep State and so much took them by surprise that they were too late to get it clamped down
in the mass media. If Epstein dies before the real dirt starts getting exposed then it proves
me right and proves wrong all those who worship at the alter of the omnipotent Deep
State.
"Cy Vance - Democrat, gave Epstein a pass on sex offender status.
Acosta - Republican, approved plea deal.
Muller - Republican, signed off on FBI closing file on Epstein.
Schumer - Took money from Epstein.
Bill Clinton - Travel.
This isn't partisan. Corruption at all levels."

Credit must be given to the Miami Herald which unearthed many of the sordid details pertaining to Jeffrey Epstein's deal struck
between his defense lawyers–who dictated the terms of the deal–and Alexander Acosta, now Trump's Labor Secretary.
Here is some background from the
series dating back to last year.
Now, there is public pressure
building up to either force Alexander Acosta to resign his Secretary of Labor Post or force Trump to fire him. It will be
interesting what becomes of that
Miami Herald also released some other tid bits on the unsealed incitement:
[ ]
Three days before Epstein's arrest, a federal appeals court in New York ordered the unsealing of up to 2,000 pages of documents
that are expected to show evidence relating to whether Epstein and his partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, were recruiting underage
girls and young women as part of an international sex trafficking operation. Maxwell, 57, has never been charged ..
As part of its investigation, the Miami Herald was able to identify nearly 80 girls who allegedly were molested by
Epstein. Four of the victims, now in their late 20s and early 30s, spoke on video about how they were traumatized first
by Epstein, then by his lawyers and private investigators, who delved deeply into their backgrounds and social media accounts,
and finally by the prosecutors themselves, who disposed of the case without telling them.
Also a possibly related story of a former Israeli soldier Assi Ben-Mosh who headed a child prostitution ring in Columbia was
arrested in Portugal after initially being deported back to Israel where he continued to run the child prostitution ring:
Ben-Mosh is wanted by Colombian authorities for running a child prostitution ring in the small fishing village of Taganga,
located on the South American country's Caribbean coast. He, along with a group of ex-Israeli soldiers, reportedly turned
the luxury Benjamin Hostel into a "sex and drug den" in which more than 250 underage girls were subjected to sexual exploitation.
The Benjamin Hostel became known to locals as "little Israel", and acted as a base from which Ben-Mosh ran similar clubs
exploiting children in Cartagena, Medellín and the Colombian capital Bogotá. His empire is also thought to have extended to
Ecuador, Mexico and Brazil .
Wasn't Israel the place where a lot of Eastern European girls were enticed by phony job offers only to be turned into sex slaves
and sold into prostitution? I guess that is what they call a mitzvah.
@tac on Business Insider but I understand
Google is depressing this "algorithm" as they and the Media try and create a Trump/Epstein "scandal" where there is no there there
and ignore Clinton/Epstein and more than 20 trips to Lolita Island -- it is stated that Trump booted Epstein out of his club for
involvement with an underage girl –so it seems the "journalists" at the Miami Herald are just more of the same as to the Globalist
Propaganda Media Dem Complex– seems a Mike Cernovich did much to bring light on Epstein but that isn't mentioned in all the praise
of the Miami Herald Dem propagandists/concealers .
Epstein dropped out of Cooper Union and NYU at age 20, but mysteriously got a job teaching calculus and physics at the prestigious
Dalton school in NYC. He was hired by then headmaster Donald Barr (born Jewish converted to Catholicism), father of current AG
William Barr. A year later Donald Barr was forced out by a group of Dalton parents for not being "progressive" enough and replaced
by a guy named Dunnan, who was later accused of having an affair with a teacher and also sexually molesting a 14 year old.
While at Dalton, Epstein taught the son of Bear Sterns CEO Ace Greenberg, and ended up working at Bear Sterns. Five years later
in 1981 he was fired from Bear Sterns for helping Edgar Bronfman in an insider trading scandal, which Bronfman blamed on his (phantom)
Italian partner.
Bronfman' and his two daughters have been embroiled in the NXIVM sex scandal case. Meanwhile, Epstein somehow
got his start thanks to one major "investor", billionaire Les Wexner, founder of the Limited, Abercombie & Fitch, Victoria's Secret
etc. Bronfman and Wexner co-founded mega, a Jewish organization that promotes Israel.
Epstein-Bronfman smells like a giant international Jew crime network that involves blackmailing of wealthy people, celebrities
and politicians for having sex with underage girls. It's how Epstein gained his wealth. He had no money to start out. His "hedge
fund" is nothing but a fake front for billionaires to wire their ransom money, which is why it is established offshore and so
secretive. There has been two huge fires at his private island in BVI btwn 2018 and Jan. 2019. Speculation is that lots of incriminating
video footage was burnt, but of course Epstein kept copies, and Mossad most likely has them as well. Got to keep the blackmailing
of our political and economic elites going. Israhell has a right to exist.
The Kincora Orphan house all over again. Certainly ,Junkie with no hope ever to stop his addiction. Even when one pedofile
crimes are abused politicaly by feminists and thrown on all men. Propaganda long time in schools.
Anne Coulter sets the record straight on scumbag Epstein and those who shielded him from due process years ago.
BTW, Epstein claimed the charges were 'anti-semitic', of course.
The Jerusalem Post has reported that Netanyahu has started campaigning against Ehud Barak on Barak's ties to Jeffrey Epstein
. Christopher Bollyn claims that Barak is the "architect of 9/11 " . Will those responsible for the false flag attacks on 9/11
ever be brought to justice ?
The British Royal family still wields considerable power in the UK and has extensive land holdings throughout the World , to
be seated in Parliament a M.P. has to swear an oath of allegiance to the monarch , the last M.P. who refused to do so was not
permitted to take their seat ! Like the US , the UK is not a democracy ,whereas the US is a plutocracy / kakistocracy / pathocracy
it appears that the UK is closer to being a monarchy .
With Prince Charle's close ties to the pedophile Jimmy Savile and Prince Andrew's ties to Jeffrey Epstein the death of the
"beloved" Queen Elizabeth could present real problems to the future of the British monarchy.
While many are focusing on Clinton or Trump the _big_ story on Epstein is that he had blackmail material on a wide range
of politicians and business people from around the world. We do not yet know their names.
He could have sold that information to the highest bidders (intelligence agencies, corporations, organized crime)–but if he
were sharp he would have sold the same information to multiple bidders.
I am amazed he served any time in jail, and will be even more amazed if he serves any more time.
He has the ultimate "get out of jail" free cards if he was smart enough to handle them wisely.
@Colin Wright the girls are not the
kind of thing he would have revealed by offering to others, and it's a minority interest.
The masseuse/ assistant former employee
making all the allegations now says she was 15 at the time instead of 17 and is accusing Prince Andrew and anyone else.
It's probably an attempt to get money by selling her story, but the prosecution are not biting. If everything is true he is
being accused of in the current case is very basically Epstein paying underage girls for sex.
The sex trafficking network charge
is basically a way to get him serious time for little more than he has already admitted to.
ays off big time because people
will help others with a good reputation but not those with a bad reputation. But as with the satirical song be careful not to
do good deeds when others are not watching. Hence his philanthropy,
I really do not think Epstein would have let anyone get the slightest hint his disgusting behaviour, he liked to portray himself
as a Great Gatsby combined with Hugh Hefner figure.
His wealth comes from his ideas about creative tax evasion, and billionaires
are not going to trust someone with their money that cannot control themselves with little girls. .
All the circumstantial evidence supports the allegations that Epstein was operating a "honeypot" to entrap celebrities and
politicians such as Bill Clinton , the larger question is was he running this operation for the Mossad , CIA and MI6 or other
deep state intelligence agencies .
'All the circumstantial evidence supports the allegations that Epstein was operating a "honeypot" to entrap celebrities

If so, it's interesting that he's been arrested -- and that it's getting play.
Any bets on whether he shortly 'commits suicide'?
I can't see him spilling all. It's not just Trump he may have stuff on. Clinton was obviously a big fan.

is yet a fourth thing.
We all get off this bus at some point. There aren't very many of us who would ride with ol' Jeffery all the way to stop four.

Billionaire Jeffrey
Epstein's
horrific crimes have been well known for a very long time,
and I have been writing about them for many years.
In fact, there were some people that really, really didn't like it when I wrote about Bill Clinton's connections to
Jeffrey Epstein and "the Lolita Express" during the 2016 presidential election. Flight records show that Bill Clinton
took 26 trips on board Jeffrey Epstein's infamous private plane, and Clinton also spent an enormous amount of time on
Epstein's secluded private "sex island" where underage girls were routinely abused. Of course Jeffrey Epstein had lots
of other very famous friends as well, and it has been documented that
his
"black book" was absolutely filled with marquee names from Hollywood, Wall Street and Washington
.
But despite everything that we knew about what was going on,
for
a very long time it looked like justice would never be served.
Epstein got an absolutely ridiculous sweetheart
deal from prosecutors in 2008, and none of his famous friends were ever charged with anything. They all probably thought
that they had escaped the grasp of law enforcement forever, but this month everything has suddenly changed.
In recent days, authorities apprehended Epstein after his plane returned from an overseas trip, they raided his home,
and they formally charged him with
sex
trafficking and conspiracy
Fund manager Jeffrey Epstein used his wealth and power to sexually abuse dozens of young girls for years at one of
the biggest mansions in Manhattan, paying them hundreds of dollars in cash for each encounter and hundreds more if
they brought in more victims, U.S. prosecutors said.
Now, federal prosecutors are charging him with sex trafficking and conspiracy. They're seeking to send him prison
for years and seize that Manhattan home.
The indictment unsealed on Monday against the well-connected financier came days after his arrest upon returning
from overseas and just hours after federal agents used a crowbar to enter the townhouse.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York is prosecuting Epstein, and they don't mess around.
They
win more than 90 percent of the cases that actually go to trial, and Epstein has good reason to be shaking in his boots
at this point.
Maurene Comey, daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, is reportedly a prosecutor in the new criminal case
against convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. This details comes out of a new CNN report. The source is described as
a person "with knowledge of the case."
Will that turn out to be significant?
We shall see as this drama plays out.
In the legal community, everyone has an agenda, and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York
certainly has an agenda in this case.
But what is their goal?
Why have they decided to pursue this specific case at this specific time?
Perhaps the primary goal is to nail Epstein to the wall once and for all. If Epstein is convicted of all the charges
against him, he will spend the rest of his life in prison. And if that is all there is to this story, it won't be an
enormous national scandal.
However, it could also be possible that the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York wants to use
Epstein to get to one or more of his famous friends, and that is where things could get very "interesting".
Second, what should we make of reporting that Epstein's prosecution is being overseen by the Public Corruption Unit
of the SDNY? Short answer: It's too soon to say. It could mean that a public official is being investigated or will
be charged with Epstein. That could be a minor public figure or a major one. It could mean that SDNY is
investigating misconduct in the plea that Epstein was given in 2008. Or it could mean none of those things.
After everything that Epstein went through in 2008, you would think that he would clean up his life and get rid of all
the stuff that got him into so much trouble in the first place.
But when authorities raided his home, they discovered a
"vast
trove"
of photographic evidence
Prosecutors said a search of Epstein's Manhattan mansion after his arrest turned up a "vast trove" of nude photos of
what appeared to be underage girls. Officials said in court papers that the pictures included some on CDs with
handwritten labels, including "Misc nudes 1," "Girl pics nude" and the names of specific young women.
It has also
previously
been reported
that in the old days Epstein would actually record "the sordid orgies he threw for VIPs at his luxury
homes using cameras hidden in the walls of guest bedrooms", but it is not known if those recordings still exist or if
authorities were able to find any such recordings when they raided Epstein's home.
In any event, there is clearly an enormous amount of evidence against Epstein already, and that means his only hope of
avoiding prison for the rest of his life is to cooperate with authorities.
And as former federal prosecutor Elie Honig
has
pointed out
, Epstein's former friends from Hollywood, Wall Street and Washington should be quite scared right now
We do not know if Epstein will cooperate, but even if he does not, others will very likely be implicated. It seems
clear from the indictment that others helped Epstein run his alleged sex trafficking operation and otherwise
participated in it. At least some of those names will come out in court proceedings, public filings, potentially
trial and perhaps additional indictments. And it's worth noting that the Epstein case is being handled by
the
SDNY's Public Corruption Unit
-- in my experience, human trafficking cases usually are handled elsewhere in the
office -- which strongly suggests that public officials could be under a microscope here. Anybody who helped Epstein
in any way needs to get a lawyer and
get
scared
.
Of course Epstein could choose to sacrifice himself and protect his friends by not talking, but that isn't likely to
happen. In fact,
Jack
Posobiec is reporting
that
Epstein's
lawyers have already made it clear to the SDNY that their client will cooperate as long as he can get a reduced
sentence
SCOOP: Epstein's lawyer has already made a proffer to SDNY. Epstein will agree to cooperate with the investigation,
including giving up the names of individuals that paid for activities with underage girls in exchange for a maximum
sentence not to exceed 5 years
This news comes just days after a judge ordered the unsealing of nearly 2,000 pages of records related to a civil
case that could reveal how he and his accused accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly trafficked underage girls
The documents that will be unsealed are from a defamation case that was settled after Epstein entered a guilty plea
guilty to a single charge of soliciting and procuring a person under age 18 for prostitution.
Records in the defamation case contained descriptions of sexual abuse by Epstein along with new allegations of
sexual abuse by 'numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, a
well-known prime minister and other world leaders.'
We will talk about who some of those individuals might be in the second part of this series which I will post later
tonight on

Sex trafficking should be punishable by death. So many young women (and men) disappear each year
just in the USA, and they cannot all possibly be runaways. Plenty of evidence you're guilty of

Eighty percent of the abuse (caveat: one case of any is too much); wasn't "pedophilia" but more
properly homosexual behavior. That it happened there was your first clue that it was everywhere.
In my relatively small area, there's been something like 8 or ten cases of middle 20's

Just like "drain the swamp" and "lock her up", I have my evidence based doubts that anything will

faith in accountability in the world.
Here's the thing. I'm as perverted as the next guy, at least the next average American male. I
appreciate beautiful women and if they're particularly enthusiastic about sex then I appreciate them
even more.
But, and I mean this sincerely, I would never, ever physically or sexually harm a child. In fact,
at 53 years old, I look at a 25 year old woman as more child than adult. The people who prey on
children for sexual or physical domination are sick motherfuckers and are not men, I'd kill everyone
of them willingly if I could. There's no rationale, no excuse and no forgiving people who hurt or
exploit children. People like Epstein are rodents.

Good article but I did not find the deeper more insidious information that other media sources have
determined was actually going on, i.e. Jeffery Epstein's business was blackmail.
Calling himself a Money Manager gave him the toolbox to invite his wealthy friends to his Island,
get them very fucked up, and then let them have sex with his underage victims. Everyone of these
very important and wealthy people were secretly filmed and subsequently blackmailed, for large sums,
disguised as quarterly payments to his money management firm.
Many of these wealthy men and women are now themselves 'victims' are their own stupidity, sense of
superiority, and misguided belief that they were above the law.

Epstein will NOT be offered a deal. Whether he "gives up names" or doesn't give up names, he is
going to prison for a significant amount of time.
Those he could "give up" will not be exposed.
I'm not saying that authorities couldn't offer him a deal if they wanted to, they could. But if they
let Epstein make a deal, they would have to also investigate and prosecute all of the men who used
the services of Epstein's army of underage "massage therapists."
Alas, the government does not want to go down this road, a road that would show the world the true
nature of so many of our iconic "leaders."
If authorities really wanted to nab these people, they would have arrested and put pressure on his
top assistant, Ms. Maxwell. They have not done this. Probably will not do this. This tells us they
are not really seeking to "out" any of the Johns.
Epstein alone is the fall guy and perhaps a few officials that went along with that sham plea deal
10 years ago will get some kind of slap on the wrist.
Now, I guess Epstein could still "talk." Write a letter from jail or agree to a Barbara Walters
interview in the pen if the prison system allowed such an interview (which they would not). But even
if he did this, it wouldn't reduce his sentence ... so why do this?
Everyone breathes easier if a "deal" is NOT offered.

The prosecutors also don't want to face the charge that they are "making a deal" with one of the
world's most infamous sex traffickers and pedophiles. It's easy for them to not offer such a
person a deal (especially after the "deal" he got last time).
Any "leverage" Epstein had disappeared when he was arrested. My guess is they are not going to
let him out (even on bail) for a long, long time, if ever. He's too dangerous on the outside.
They can control what he says or doesn't say a lot easier in a jail cell.
Even if he wanted to talk at this point, I'm not sure how he would get any words out to the
world. He's kind of like Julian Assange was. He has no real way to communicate with the world.
Epstein thought he had all this leverage and in the end he didn't have any. Actually, his best
hope might be if his former assistant threatened to "sing." He could threaten: You give me what
I want or I'm going to make sure that Maxwell brings everyone down, etc.
But she ain't playing along and is keeping her distance from this guy. And, as noted, she hasn't
even been arrested. She is as free as the breeze.

If I remember correctly, las, the Jerry Lee marriage to his cousin was an enormous scandal. Most
people, in that day and age, disapproved, and Jerry Lee suffered from their censure.
What's the difference between "having sex" and using someone for sex? Here's how Ms. Ward described
the account from her sources:
What I had "on the girls" were some remarkably brave first-person accounts. Three on-the-record
stories from a family: a mother and her daughters who came from Phoenix. The oldest daughter, an
artist whose character was vouchsafed to me by several sources, including the artist Eric
Fischl, had told me, weeping as she sat in my living room, of how Epstein had attempted to
seduce both her and, separately, her younger sister, then only 16.
He'd gotten to them because of his money. He'd promised the older sister patronage of her art
work; he'd promised the younger funding for a trip abroad that would give her the work
experience she needed on her résumé for a place at an Ivy League university, which she
desperately wanted -- and would win.
The girls' mother told me by phone that she had thought her daughters would be safe under
Epstein's roof, not least because he phoned her to reassure her, and she also knew he had
Ghislaine Maxwell with him at all times.
When the girls' mother learned that Epstein had, regardless, allegedly
molested
her 16-year-old daughter, she'd wanted to fight back. "At the time I wanted to go after him. I
mean, physically, mentally, you know, in every way, shape, and form. And the advice I was given
was, you know, he is so wealthy, he can fight you, he can make you look ridiculous, he can make
your daughters look ridiculous, plus he can hurt them.
And
that was the thing that frightened me was that he would know where they lived and could possibly
just send somebody when they walk the dog at night or something around the corner, and we'd
never hear from them again," she told me.
When I put their allegations to Epstein, he denied them and went into overdrive. He called
Graydon. He also repeatedly phoned me. He said, "Just the mention of a 16-year-old girl carries
the wrong impression. I don't see what it adds to the piece. And that makes me unhappy."
Most guys don't "get it." We aren't talking "having sex." We are talking about using your power to
gain physical and emotional control over a young girl, who may think she can handle herself, but
allow me to disabuse of that antiquated notion. No matter how mature or sophisticated a young girl
of 13-15 thinks she is, she cannot in the remotest stretch of anyone's imagination compete against
an Epstein. Once he's convinced her to take off her clothes and do what he desires, she realizes
how dumb she was. I was lucky. I was basically an out-of-control 13-15 (two alcoholic parents)
years old, but I didn't care about money, fame, and material objects. I was just dumb lucky. And I
hated to be controlled. And I was in rebellion against my parents and living situation at the time.
I've had guys masturbate in front of me because I wouldn't give them what they wanted. I've seen a
lot.

CONNECTION TO AIRCRAFT SHARED BY JEFFREY EPSTEIN, THE CIA, AND DYNCORP
Voat user Freed0mFighter uncovered a special report on Occurrences: Foreign and Domestic (archived)(original
PDF)identifying the fact that one of Jeffrey Epstein's suspected trafficking aircraft shared the
same tail number as a State department Bronco used under contract by DynCorp. The use of the tail
number can be corroborated by official government records.[9]This would mean that Jeffrey Epstein
trafficked underage girls using aircraft of the same tail number and during the same time period as
DynCorp when they trafficked minors in Bosnia and other parts of the Balkan states. If issued by
some sort of accident or if one of the two planes was decommissioned, the statistical odds of just
two planes sharing the same number would still be over 1 in over 900,000.[10] Special thanks to

The cover up & sweetheart deal Epstein got in 2008 is very similar in handling to the
sweetheart deal Hillary got from the DOJ/FBI in 2016.
In both years, Hillary was the presumed Dem nominee and shoo in for president.
Epstein helped start the Clinton Foundation in 2005 with $4 million and made continuous
contributions in addition to shuttling Bill to Orgy Island 27 times.
That could have been
very embarrassing for Hillary in 2008. May also explain Obama's sudden rise by the same
people who covered up the Epstein affair.
Blaming it on Acosta is shutting down any investigation is negation of the truth. He was too low on
the totem pole to cut this deal. He had to have approval from Main Justice. Mueller was FBI
head at the time.
Even after Epstein did time and was registered in NY as a level 3 sex offender (highest
classification) George Stephanopolous, Katie Couric, Chelsea Handler and Woody Allen came to
his house for dinner and he kept thousands of pictures of nude children. Epstein felt
protected.
Sex trafficking of children is a big business in the US & Epstein was involved

COMMENTS
Powerful elites enabled the financier accused of trafficking underage
girls
In 2003, the journalist Vicky Ward profiled Jeffrey Epstein
, the financier indicted Monday on charges of sexually abusing and trafficking underage
girls, for Vanity Fair. Her piece painted him as an enigmatic Jay Gatsby type, a boy from a
middle-class family in Brooklyn who had scaled the rungs of the plutocracy, though no one
could quite figure out how he made his money. It detailed dubious business dealings and
mentioned that Epstein often had lots of beautiful young women around. But it left out Ward's
most important finding.
Twelve years later,
in The Daily Beast , Ward wrote about how, in the course of her reporting, two sisters
allegedly preyed upon by Epstein, as well as their mother, had spoken to her on the record.
But shortly before the story went to press, Ward wrote, the Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter
cut that section, saying, of Epstein, "He's sensitive about the young women." (
In a statement on Monday , Carter said Ward's reporting hadn't been solid enough.)
Over the last couple of months, Ward told me, she's started going through transcripts of
the interviews about Epstein she did more than 16 years ago. "What is so amazing to me is how
his entire social circle knew about this and just blithely overlooked it," she said of his
penchant for adolescents. While praising his charm, brilliance and generous donations to
Harvard, those she spoke to, she said, "all mentioned the girls, as an aside."
On Saturday evening, more than a decade after receiving a sweetheart plea deal in an
earlier sex crime case, Epstein was arrested after getting off a private flight from Paris.
He has been accused of exploiting and abusing "dozens" of minor girls, some as young as 14,
and conspiring with others to traffic them. Epstein's arrest was the rare event that
gratified right and left alike, both because it seemed that justice might finally be done,
and because each side has reason to believe that if Epstein goes down, he could bring some of
its enemies with him.
Both sides are likely right. The Epstein case is first and foremost about the casual
victimization of vulnerable girls. But it is also a political scandal, if not a partisan one.
It reveals a deep corruption among mostly male elites across parties, and the way the very
rich can often purchase impunity for even the most loathsome of crimes. If it were fiction,
it would be both too sordid and too on-the-nose to be believable, like a season of "True
Detective" penned by a doctrinaire Marxist.
The funny thing about the Trump quote in the original NYMag article on Epstein is that
it's probably the most honest description of the guy, with a none-too-subtle nod to the man's
predilections.
"The Ultimate Symbol"? I beg leave to doubt it! I suspect that the plutocratic rot is very
wide and very deep and "Kiddy fiddling" which is what Jeffrey Epstein seems to be accused of,
is only a small (and not the worst) part of it. If he "sings" I think there is no telling how
far it will go, but probably he won't and this whole evil mess will slink back into the
shadows and silence, with the active help of the media.
Come to think about it, probably even if he does sing, that too will be supressed.
Ward wrote about how, in the course of her reporting, two sisters allegedly preyed upon
by Epstein, as well as their mother, had spoken to her on the record.
They said they were all over 18 in other words. He certainly had young women about but
Michael Wolff said they ones he say on his plane were visibly late teens or twenty.
No way in hell would someone be trusted with billionaire's money who had ovbiously under
age girls around him and was heading for a plea deal in which he might be under so much
pressure he would reveal his clients' financial crimes . And it is hardly in keeping
with the Gatsby image so important to him. I think he had the young but legal girls for show,
no one saw the obvious children but him. He kept the criminal conduct away from visitors,
especially ones he posed as a philanthropist to. Someone in his position could not afford to
get a reputation for having criminal culpability in anything. He was tax scam artist, and
secret sex offender.
On Saturday evening, more than a decade after receiving a sweetheart plea deal in an
earlier sex crime case, Epstein was arrested after getting off a private flight from Paris.
He has been accused of exploiting and abusing "dozens" of minor girls, some as young as 14,
and conspiring with others to traffic them.
People with his money rarely plead guilty. He admitted guilt to get the deal. The new
charges he is arrested on say he was the only customer or client , so "trafficking" is
quite deceptive.
In the deal he never admitted having actual sex with any of the girls, and
he insists he thought they were over 18, so basically all he has ever got a deal on was acts
well short of sex with 16-18 years olds who were paid.
Some of them named in the old indictment are now saying they were 2 years younger and had
sex with all these VIPs. Doubt it. Still, Epstein's previous admissions mean nobody will
believe him if a girl says she was 14 not 18, and he is a tempting target tor civil suits
which testifying in a criminal case are a basis for. I don't see him as being all that
powerful because money makes you a continuing target of people wanting financial restitution
from people down on their luck and no longer able to make money from their looks.
Getting a
sweet plea deal for those things was just storing up trouble for the future for someone as
rich as him.
Cernovich and Dershowitz filed their suit on 19 JAN 2017, 10 days after Trump's
inauguration. Obama's DoJ screwed up and the judge ruled in their favor 2.5 years later. Then
Epstein's immediately arrested.
This RT article
reminds us the Republicans tried to use Bill's links with Epstein during the 2016
election, while providing other details. Maybe the stories used in the Steele Dossier on
Trump aren't from Russia at all but were collected through Epstein's operation?
Epstein, being richer, gets to act out Weiner's fantasy for approximately the same price as
the fantasy. If Epstein was Mossad, then what is arch-zio Dershowitz doing in the
trap?
"Jeffrey Epstein shipped a shredder from the U.S. Virgin Islands to his Palm Beach home in
July 2008, shortly after reaching a non-prosecution agreement with then-U.S. Attorney Alex
Acosta, maritime records show. Then, in March of this year, shortly after a Florida federal
judge invalidated that agreement, Epstein shipped a tile and carpet extractor from the Virgin
Islands to his Manhattan townhouse, the records show."
Mobster jeffrey epstein's wealth didn't come from being a "financier" ( he is a dull
wit w/o market knowledge), it came from his fellow co-mobster , steven hoffenberger ,
swindling over $650 million from gullible goys in Towers Financial.
I believe nearly all of these ((( "financiers" and "hedge fund managers" ))) are just
money laundering for the massive Israhell mob. Most are operated from offshore banks, without
auditing, I.e. soros' quantum fund.
"... This Tom Luongo guy has the naïveté of a 6 year old. He actually believes that Trump has enough courage and political power base to challenge the well connected high profile pedophile ring where the CIA and the FBI may well have been a principal participant. ..."
"... I've suspected there are two factions in DS, one pushing the NWO death and destruction route, the other more sane side pushing end of empire, conciliation and fixing the homeland. It would explain the weird reversals, half-hearted military strikes, contradictions in policy, stunning non sequiturs that come out of the White House, the crazy then sane tweets, obviously written by different people. We may never know. ..."
"... I'm still waiting to find out what was on Weiner's laptop. ..."
I can see this slicing the Gordian knot in multiple ways.
First, I know someone who does basically what Epstein does, so I get how it works. He's at
a slightly lower level, I suppose, but part of his job is clearly to lure prominent people,
and those on a strong upward trajectory, into compromising situations in order to blackmail
them. He tried to do this to me, twice. I told my wife, at the time. She was somewhat
incredulous (she has met him many dozens of times, as well, and he's charming), but,
ultimately, she agreed there was no other explanation.
I've had time to contemplate all this, and one thing struck me - I still talk to this
person. He's extraordinarily well connected. He's fun to be around, even if I haven't visited
certain locations with him. I would never, in a million years, want him to be my enemy, and
that's why I've never disclosed to anyone other than my wife any specifics.
I'm hopeful it will all come out, as this type of thing has been used to facilitate
corruption, but I also feel sorry for the people whose lives will be ruined, and especially
for their wives and children. For what it's worth, people should go easy on them. I was
lucky. I enjoy drinking, at least enough of one to definitely know how I respond to alcohol.
The first time this happened, I was sharing a glass of ridiculously expensive and delicious
scotch with the individual I referenced. I suddenly realized I was far more drunk than I
should have been based on what I'd had. It was from his private stash, and I'm positive he'd
slipped something in the drink. He'd been asking some odd questions, and had just invited me
to a mansion, in NYC, for a sort of "party" (it could easily have been at Epstein's house, as
we are in similar circles). I was about to agree to go when I realized just how odd the
situation was. I excused myself, immediately ordered an Uber, and abruptly left without a
proper goodbye to get into the car. I passed out on the drive back to my apartment, but the
driver woke me up and I managed to stumble inside and get to bed.
If I hadn't had that moment of clarity, or if there'd been no Uber and he'd simply offered
to have his driver take me home on his way to the party, I could very easily have ended up in
one of those CDs full of compromising information. I got lucky. These other guys didn't. When
their names are dragged through the mud, we should cut them a little slack.

Watch for signs like MSM news stories that say:
"those closest to Epstein say he is despondent;"
"confided last week to a business associate he didn't feel there was a way out:'
"over the last two weeks, he has been observed with a visible shaking and looking drawn
and pale;"
"his investment empire now appears to be collapsing as investors remove their assets
under management."
If you see those types of stories, Unca Jeffy's lifespan will be measured in days or a few

Make no mistake about Epstein's arrest...he's the sacrificial lamb to get Trump. Epstein
is expendable - he was sloppy and arrogant.
Even if he takes a few Dimwits with him, it will
be worth it if they get Trump.
The Deep State has run out of options eliminating Trump...he's
too well protected, mil intel has tightened up the loose bolts and POTUS favorability ratings
are on the move upward - now over 50%.
They'e tried everything from trying to gin up war with

Nobody is commenting on the shallowness of sexual allegations as determinative of national
and global policies. Can we please discuss the theft of tens of trillions of dollars for the
elites' survival facilities, inexcusable military waste, and for ridding nations of their
children for oil, Sumerian artifacts, and cozy alliances with thugs who are on their way out
in historical terms?
If you only knew how issues such as paedophilia have formed the
secretive fabric of American intelligence agencies' obsessions as expressed in their
collusively-produced films. What a bloody curiousity to behold impassioned and suggestive
rhetoric regarding allegations of paedophilia when there has not been anywhere near the
impassioned interest in - for example - the annihilation of more than 600,000 Iraqi boys and
girls for oil and Sumerian artifacts. And that number apparently pales - if you listen to
statements by the Speaker of Iraq
's Parliament - to the number of Christian children who have
been beheaded and otherwise slaughtered by America's ISIS terrorists. If it turned out that
Tony Blair delighted himself with teenagers down in the Caribbean (although with the $50
million given to him for the Iraq sellout, he should have been able to buy anything he
wanted), how does that compare to having supported the Bushes in what was done to the Iraqi
people and nation?
They even bombed Iraq's only facility that produced baby products. And
then there was Serbia, Rwanda, Yemen, etc. etc. etc. where American "intervention" or the
lack of it (Rwanda) cost hundreds of thousands more lives for no good reason. But yeah, leave
the kids alone.
We may need them in a decade or two to kill other peoples' kids. The older I
get, the less I am averse to the role of a pariah, watching a nation dutifully satiate itself
with films profiting from Government's cruel crimes.

Epstein will roll over and start singing. There was stash of Lolita happy snaps in his
safe, and likely there are moving pictures-- videos-- stashed somewhere. Given his guest list
on Pedo Island there are likely to be a few surprises.
The question is-- will Epstein even make it to his trial. Whitey burger was an
embarrassment to the FBI, and he didn't last six hours in the General Population. If you
think it was an "administrative oversight" that put him there you are living under the wrong
rainbow.
If Jeffery lives through the next six months, I'll be astounded. In the mean time,

Unfortunately, this is just wishful thinking.
Trump has nothing to do with Epstein's arrest (remember that Trump is also on the list of
Epstein's passengers!). He has been arrested because there's some people in the justice
system who aren't totally corrupted (the arrest happened because a judge decided a previous
judge's verdict was invalid), and Trump couldn't do anything to stop it.
Epstein will either be released quickly with an apology saying the arrest was in error, or
else he'll be found dead in his cell (of "natural causes" of course) before he can spill the
beans on either Clinton or Trump, or any of the other criminals who joined him.

I doubt that, Epstein's arrest is the latest in a major sweep of human traffickers and
pedos within the US and worldwide. The more they arrest, the more will squeal. And the gloves
are off now. Don't forget Trump's EO from 2017:
The order rightly singles out the national security implications of high-level blackmail
and will allow the seizure of assets. A lot of bricking right now in DC, I suspect.
This was tailor-made to take down people like Epstein, particularly when the blackmail
material is recovered (likely already the case). Expect high-level resignations, arrests,
suicides and worse.
Enjoy the show.
Stop Bush and Clinton , 7 hours ago
I hope you're right, but I don't think so.
That executive order can be read in 2 ways.
Read it as someone who likes Trump, and you see an executive order designed to go after
the likes of Epstein and possibly even Clinton.
Read it as someone who strongly distrusts Trump (I think he's the lesser evil compared to
Hitlery Clinton and he'll likely be the lesser evil in 2020 again, but especially after his
embassy move, his warmongering in Syria, his backing out of the Iran deal [one of 2 things
Obama did in 8 years that I agreed with], his failure (at least so far) to drain the swamp
and lock her up, etc., I think he can't be trusted), and you see an executive order designed
to go after Putin, Xi, Rouhani, Maduro and other foreign leaders the Deep State doesn't like
(it's rather easy to make some exaggerated claim of Russia, China, Iran or Venezuela being
involved in human rights violations, and then apply the EO to their leaders).
I can't tell for sure which reading is the intended one -- of course those who trust Trump
will argue that he wrote it in a way that could be read to be all about Putin and friends to
keep the Epsteins in the dark, and equally Never Trump-ers will argue he wrote it in a way
that can be read to be all about Epstein to keep his supporters in line. Again either side
could be right, so far we don't know what the real intention is.
The fact that Comey's daughter is on the Epstein case makes me think they're out to
destroy the blackmail material instead of recovering it - but of course I could be wrong or
she could have been assigned to the case by someone other than whoever opened it.
I hope there will be a lot of high-level arrests and resignations - but I fear all that
will happen is Epstein's sentence will be reduced to a slap on the wrist in exchange for
destroying the blackmail material and some statement that all the "crazy conspiracy
theorists" are wrong, he never met Clinton, and "Bill Clinton" on his flight logs is actually
a code name for someone else. ("Vladimir Putin thought it was funny to go by the codename
Bill Clinton...")

"The news is speculative about whether Epstein was being protected by Robert Mueller's
special counsel's office, and why the Department of Justice acted now, given that he's been
problematic for years. There's also his role as a bigfoot Democrat donor, same as Ed Buck and
other perverts who've financed the Democrats. But one thing's pretty clear, based on a tweet
by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's daughter Christine: Democrats knew.
All kinds of Democrats are going to be found in Epstein's little black book of clients,
not just Bill Clinton.
President Trump, by contrast, banned the pervert from his Mar-a-Lago club years ago. So
much for pinning the scandal on Trump as Democrats had hoped."
The photo provides further proof of Epstein and his associates' close ties to the Clinton
dynasty.
Epstein's pimp Maxwell, whose social circle includes members of the UK royal family, has
been named in several lawsuits as the woman who helped procure and transport underage girls
which provided the billionaire massages and ultimately sexual favors.
The Miami Herald has
more on Maxwell's connections to Epstein:
Lawyers for Epstein's victims, in court filings, have often likened Epstein's sex
operation to an organized crime family, with Epstein and Maxwell at the top, and below them,
others who worked as schedulers, recruiters, pilots and bookkeepers.
For her part, Maxwell, whose social circle included such friends as Bill and Hillary
Clinton and members of the British Royal family, has been described as using recruiters
positioned throughout the world to lure women by promising them modeling assignments,
educational opportunities and fashion careers. The pitch was really a ruse to groom them into
sex trafficking, it is alleged in court records.
At least one woman, Sarah Ransome, claimed in a lawsuit that Maxwell and Epstein
threatened to physically harm her or destroy any chance she would have of a fashion career if
she didn't have sex with them and others.
Maxwell has thus far managed to escape charges, but a lawyer for one of the women suing
Epstein predicts she'll eventually be swept up in the sex trafficking litigation.
"The one person most likely in jeopardy is Maxwell because the records that are going to
be unsealed have so much evidence against her," said David Boies, the attorney for Epstein
accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre. "She is in a particularly vulnerable position and will have
an interest in cooperating, even though she may have missed that opportunity."
Those 26 trips by Billy Boy on the Lolita Express are only the ones in the log book. How
many were there that were not logged? Isn't it amazing that the mainline press never picked
up on this. It just shows how corrupt and fraudulent they are. I hope there is a deal and
Epstein furnishes the names of his associated scum with proof. I wonder how many congressmen,
senators, Judges, etc. There are.

Epstein's actual attorney was somebody else, who wrote Acosta a very grateful letter
thanking Acosta for going beyond even what Epstein's own attorney was hoping for in terms of
clemency.

suspicious (no Secret Service) associations with Epstein. There is a record of Trump helping
prosecutors going after Epstein. There is record of Trump barring Epstein from Mar a
Lago.
I think you are a little confused ... or engaged in purposeful disinformation, which is
more likely.
Next time, don't quote Fusion GPS. The article that quote came from was a puff piece about
Epstein from 2002. It extolled his brilliance and philanthropy with quotes from the Dem Sen
Leader, Harvard scientists and just about everyone they could find.
At the time, Epstein served on the board of the Trilateral Commission with Kissinger,
Summers and a dozen CEO's of Fortune 50 companies, the Rockefeller Foundation and
Harvard.

Let's not disregard Prince Andy. (old article from Guardian but still...)
Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were running a Mossad blackmail operation.
Rahm Emmanuel was kicked out of the Clinton WH by the FBI. They had a file on him
"Security Risk"...then he got back in with Obama ?
Trump is too smart for the blackmail ****. Roy Cohn taught him that.
BUT Jared Kushner is Trumps Achilles heel. Kushner's father spent two years in prison for
blackmail/extorsion.

Epstein hung with Democrats and donated to them.
No doubt Epstein found what the commie muzzie *** from Kenya craved?
Kevin Spacey, Chris Tucker, Katie Couric, George Stephanopoulos, and Woody Allen are some
of the celebrities who reportedly traveled and partied with Epstein in the past.
Even Stephen Hawking made a visit to Epstein's island.
Props to Michael Cernovich, and then there's the make-up Queen Shep Smith who show's
Epstein and Trump together, Trump banned this Fukk Epstein from his club and the Clinton's
had enough frequent flyer on Epstein's plane to Lolita Island for 2 round trip tickets to
Paris. Shepp & the golden sperm seed piss punks of Murdoch must share something in common
wonder what it is?

This is the opening of the portal to hell for a lot of kids' agonies, even deaths.
Watch the names of the rich and famous tumble out. If you read previous articles you know
that they also seized tapes Epstein was holding of young girls with older men. This is what
fuels the blackmail, and hence the corruption.
The Weiner laptop is also in play with the NXVIUM convictions.
The Clintons remain free and Trump keeps elitists like Ross, Pompeo and Bolton in the
White House. Comey's daughter is one of the prosecutors for Epstein and Epstein is already
claiming immunity. He might go to jail again, he might not. But nothing is going to happen
with the Epstein thing as far as the fall of the banksters. Nothing.

I don't think Trump is behind his arrest. I think it's the head NY prosecutor trying to
make a name for himself in order to run for president at a late time! We'll see where this
all goes but my money is on the procecutor!

Trump should be "out for blood" but it's the SDNY...and we KNOW they are "out for
blood"....trump's. So my read is the opposite. The SDNY is never going to do something that
will harm the clintons. The ONLY goal is keeping Trump out of office for these guys. all
roads lead to trump at the SDNY...it's job 1.

Pedosadist Elites Panic: Congress Bill Wants To End Child **** In Pentagon Networks;
Epstein Arrested, Files To Be Unsealed On Powerful Clients
America is receiving a hell of a Christmas in July present – a bill in Congress is
being pushed to end child **** sharing in Pentagon networks, and Jeffrey Epstein was
arrested for child trafficking. Additionally, an appeal court ordered that all files
pertaining to Epstein's case of wealthy powerful clients will be released to the press and
public.
Congress is aiming to halt child **** distribution within Pentagon networks according to
a bipartisan bill (The End
Network Abuse Act) that was introduced by Reps. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) and Mark
Meadows (R-N.C.)
The National Criminal Justice Training Center, one of the groups that has thrown its
weight behind the bill, reported in 2018 that DOD's network was ranked 19th out of almost
3,000 nationwide networks on the amount of peer-to-peer child *********** sharing.
Spanberger described the issues of child sexual exploitation and abuse as "horrific
crimes."
"The notion that the Department of Defense's network and Pentagon-issued computers may
be used to view, create, or circulate such horrifying images is a shameful disgrace, and
one we must fight head on," Spanberger said in statement. (Source:
The Hill )
So... if I send child **** to anyone the entire law enforcement apparatus on planet Earth
descends upon my location with the full weight of every alphabet agency. Yet, when child ****
is trafficked within a government agency we need to pass a bill thru Congress in order to
stop it. WTF.

<Epstein's Arrest Tells Me Trump Is Now Out For Blood> Wrong.
Trump and Bill Clinton were willing participants in these crimes.
Don't be surprised when Trump's name will appear in all legal documents. Remember, the
lead prosecutor is from Demo New York and Epstein will behave no different from Trump's loyal
lawyer Cohen. After all, this case was not resurrected from dead to promote justice in

Do a Youtube search for * Trump BBC 1998 * and jump 5 minutes into the vid. You will
realize Trump will be out for blood. He waits until the right time.
BBC: "You talk in your book about getting even. The importance of getting even. Is revenge
sweet?"
Trump: "I believe strongly in getting even. If someone has hurt you. If someone's gone out
of their way to hurt you. I think that if you have the opportunity, you should certainly go
out of your way to do a number on them."
I didn't believe in the "the indictments are coming from Jeff Sessions" lines, but I do
believe Trump will nail these people when the time presents itself and that time is coming up
fast.
Conservative commentator Ann Coulter says that sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein had a "state sponsor" backing him and that his
operation was a way to blackmail powerful men.
During an appearance on 790 KABC, Coulter suggested that Epstein is merely the front man for a far more powerful network.
"Epstein according to both the girls accounts, he wanted them to have sex with powerful men, come back to him and report on it,
describe what they wanted what their fetishes were and he had cameras throughout the house so this is obviously for blackmailing
purposes," said Coulter.
"It just seems to me something much bigger is behind this -- perhaps a state sponsor -- powerful enough people it just seems
to me there's something a very powerful force behind what's going on here and I am still nervous about this not coming to a conclusion,
somehow this getting compromised," she added.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/eNbK-hkZMLY
Coulter said that it remained a mystery as to how Epstein became a billionaire and that the source of his money should be investigated.
Former President Bill Clinton attempted to distance himself from Epstein last night, claiming he only flew on the infamous 'Lolita
Express' private jet four times despite flight logs showing at least 26 trips.
As we
reported yesterday, speculation is swirling that Epstein may give up names of influential people who used his network in order
to secure a maximum prison sentence of no more than five years.

"Bernie Birnbaum is a horse of a different color, ethics-wise that is...

Serial pederast Jeffrey Epstein is going to be arrested again. The big questions are why? And why now? I never doubted Donald Trump's sincerity in wanting Hillary in jail. But the reality is that Trump was not in any position to
do so. Until a few months ago.
When Attorney General William Barr ended the Mueller investigation back in February that was a turning point. I talked about
it back then in a piece called "
The Old Political Order is Just
Old ."
Mueller, his staff of hatchetmen, the Obama administration and the rest of the corrupt old-guard in D.C. fully expected to
be allowed free rein to convict Trump politically of Obstruction of Justice based on an interpretation of Federal Statutes that
could only be justified in the world of Philip K. Dick's Minority Report. When that didn't happen, they are now looking at potential blowback from a vain and vindictive man occupying the supposedly
most powerful office in the world.
But is that really the case anymore? It seems John Bolton has been more president than Trump recently.
I was cautiously optimistic that Trump would turn the corner on his presidency now that Mueller, impeachment and the rest of
it would lift from his shoulders. His foreign policy maneuvers didn't fill me with much, if any, confirmation of this hope.
But domestically signs were there that he had stabilized the battlefield.
Epstein's arrest tells me he's now out for blood.
Because this goes directly to the heart of the matter. Trump left the Clintons' social circle in disgust and I'm convinced he
ran to stop her corrupt sell out of the U.S. Never forget that, while corruption is rampant in D.C., it is not all-pervasive. It's not a black and white thing.
William Barr may not be a Boy Scout or anything but even he, like Trump,
has a disgust circuit.
And that circuit has a threshold.
The level of corruption of the Departments of Justice, State, Treasury and the intelligence agencies needed to coordinate the
RussiaGate hoax all to serve as Hillary's revenge porn was too much for enough people.
And there are still plenty of people in all of those departments willing to step up now that the board state has changed. Remember back when Trump said we should just leave Hillary be, she's been through enough? That wasn't him capitulating to the
Deep State, that was him offering her a way out. He knew then what was going on but thought he was powerless to stop it, politically.
To go after her you go after the person who is her Achilles' heel, Epstein through his association with Bill. Because what if
this isn't just about Bill's antics? But this is more than just Hillary and Bill. This is likely far deeper a rabbit hole than anyone in D.C. wants to admit. Don't think for a second that Epstein hasn't been
blackmailing very prominent people for years. Because he has. And they are all now scared to death.
And Robert Mueller is up to his neck in this. Because it was Mueller who helped Epstein mostly get off the hook the last time
and had the court documents sealed.
Now that Mike Cernovich worked to get those documents unsealed, we have an arrest warrant a week later by a Justice Department
led by someone, at this point, loyal to Trump.
Even if Barr and Trump have a marriage of convenience here, it doesn't matter. What matters is that Epstein will no longer be able to hide behind Clinton bag men and will this time have to cut a real deal
to stay out of gen pop.
This process will be slow and painful, but it will grind to the kind of conclusion that will only benefit Trump's re-election
bid. It will be an epic drip feed of leaks, innuendos, implications, indictments and the rest.
Because there comes a point where the Alinsky method of accusing your enemy of the thing you do backfires when it's raping 14-year-old
girls.
Once this thing gets a head of steam, once the #MeToo crowd gets a hold of this, there won't be anyone left standing. I always
said Hillary would indict herself. Her insane lust for power and revenge against her obstacles led us here. And it will lead her
to the kind of shame and disgrace that befits her avarice.
When Nancy Pelosi's daughter is out there
signaling for her mother on this immediately, you know this is bad. Pelosi doesn't roll over for nothing folks. Think what you want
about her but she's a pitbull. And she rolled over on border wall funding last week.
This Epstein arrest is a testament to what happens when the pendulum swings too far in one direction. Where despicable people
get away with the most heinous acts simply because they are connected in a web of corruption and venality.
Maybe this is the moment of Peak Swamp? Maybe it's the moment where we can see things begin, ever so slightly to improve.
Is it too little, too late? Likely. But something had to be done to keep our faith in our political and social institutions intact.
Because otherwise that way leads to only chaos and collapse.

Here is the
moral decay of America's ruling elites
boiled down to a single
word.
There are many reasons why Imperial Rome declined, but two primary causes that get
relatively little attention are moral decay and soaring wealth inequality.
The two are of
course intimately connected: once the morals of the ruling Elites degrade,
what's mine is mine
and what's yours is mine, too.
I've previously covered two other key characteristics of an empire in terminal decline:
complacency and intellectual sclerosis, what I have termed a failure of imagination.
Michael Grant described these causes of decline in his excellent account
The
Fall of the Roman Empire
, a short book I have been recommending since 2009:
There was no room at all, in these ways of thinking, for the novel, apocalyptic situation
which had now arisen, a situation which needed solutions as radical as itself.
(The
Status Quo) attitude is a complacent acceptance of things as they are, without a single new
idea.
This acceptance was accompanied by greatly excessive optimism about the present and
future. Even when the end was only sixty years away, and the Empire was already crumbling fast,
Rutilius continued to address the spirit of Rome with the same supreme assurance.
This blind adherence to the ideas of the past ranks high among the principal
causes of the downfall of Rome.
If you were sufficiently lulled by these traditional
fictions, there was no call to take any practical first-aid measures at all.
Glenn Stehle, commenting on a thread in the excellent website
peakoilbarrel.com
(operated
by the estimable Ron Patterson) made a number of excellent points that I am taking the liberty of
excerpting: (with thanks to correspondent Paul S.)
The set of values developed by the early Romans called mos maiorum, Peter Turchin
explains in
War
and Peace and War: The Rise and Fall of Empires
, was gradually replaced by one of personal
greed and pursuit of self-interest.
"Probably the most important value was virtus (virtue), which derived from the
word vir (man) and embodied all the qualities of a true man as a member of society," explains
Turchin.
"Virtus included the ability to distinguish between good and evil and to act in ways that
promoted good, and especially the common good. Unlike Greeks, Romans did not stress individual
prowess, as exhibited by Homeric heroes or Olympic champions. The ideal of hero was one whose
courage, wisdom, and self-sacrifice saved his country in time of peril," Turchin adds.
And as Turchin goes on to explain:
"Unlike the selfish elites of the later periods, the aristocracy of the early Republic
did not spare its blood or treasure in the service of the common interest. When 50,000 Romans, a
staggering one fifth of Rome's total manpower, perished in the battle of Cannae, as mentioned
previously, the senate lost almost one third of its membership.
This suggests that the
senatorial aristocracy was more likely to be killed in wars than the average citizen...
The wealthy classes were also the first to volunteer extra taxes when they were needed A
graduated scale was used in which the senators paid the most, followed by the knights, and then
other citizens. In addition, officers and centurions (but not common soldiers!) served without
pay, saving the state 20 percent of the legion's payroll...
The richest 1 percent of the Romans during the early Republic was only 10 to 20
times as wealthy as an average Roman citizen."
Now compare that to the situation in Late Antiquity when
"an average Roman noble of senatorial class had property valued in the neighborhood of
20,000 Roman pounds of gold. There was no 'middle class' comparable to the small landholders of
the third century B.C.; the huge majority of the population was made up of landless peasants
working land that belonged to nobles. These peasants had hardly any property at all, but if we
estimate it (very generously) at one tenth of a pound of gold, the wealth differential would be
200,000! Inequality grew both as a result of the rich getting richer (late imperial senators
were 100 times wealthier than their Republican predecessors) and those of the middling wealth
becoming poor."
Do you see any similarities with the present-day realities depicted in these charts?
And how many congresspeople served in combat in Iraq or Afghanistan? How many
presidential candidates had boots on the ground in combat theaters? The answer is one.
Here
is the moral decay of America's ruling elites boiled down to a single word.

Portland, OR -- A former top level Walt Disney executive was sentenced to prison this month
for nearly seven years for child rape. Michael Laney, 73, who was the Vice President of Walt
Disney was found guilty of four counts of first-degree sexual abuse and sentenced to 81 months
in prison.
After the sentencing, Laney's attorneys pleaded with the judge to suspend the sentence,
claiming that Laney's wife would suffer if her husband goes to jail.
According to
Oregon Live
, Laney's wife's doctor, Blain Crandell, submitted a letter on Laney's behalf,
saying his wife "could be expected to suffer serious consequences to her health and well-being"
without an in-home caregiver, a role her husband had been filling.
Thankfully, the judge and district attorney did not see it that way. In response to this
request, Multnomah County Deputy District Attorney Charles Mickley called the claims
"peculiarly offensive and insulting."
"Defendant wholly ignores the compelling evidence of his guilt presented at trial, including
the evidence of his longstanding sexual interest in children," Mickley wrote.
Laney will also have to serve an additional 120 months of probation after prison, pay a
$4,000 fine, and register as a sex offender.

Pedophilia is the link between all these Hollyweird freaks and politics as well. I
believe they are all lured into being compromised and dirt kept on them all collectively,
in order to use them and manipulate them and gain control over society.
The system is broken, and the managerial elite will keep it broken because it serves
their interests to keep it broken.
America's managerial elite came to do good and stayed to do well--at the expense of
everyone beneath them. Now that they've entrenched themselves at the top of the status quo,
there's no way to dislodge them, even as their failure to address what's broken, much less
actually fix what's broken, insures systemic breakdown.
In government, the managerial elite is known as The Deep State : those who
remain in power regardless of who's in elected office. In local government, managerial elites
often shift positions, moving from elected office to a plum position in the bureaucracy where
they can draw a big paycheck out of sight until they retire.
In Corporate America, managerial elites also move around, leaving sinking ships (that they
may well have helped sink) as needed, and moving to think tanks or academia if their failures
start multiplying.
Changing elected officials does nothing to dislodge our managerial elite overlords.
The new mayor, governor or president comes and goes, and all the major institutions--education,
higher education, healthcare, national defense, critical infrastructure--continue down the same
path of enriching entrenched insiders while the institution fails its core missions.
If you think this chart of soaring student loan debt is a sign of "success," you are 1)
delusional 2) protected from the dire consequences of this failure 3) getting your paycheck
from this failed system. That in a nutshell is the state of the nation: those who are
protected from the consequences of failure are loyal to the Establishment, as are the millions
drawing a paycheck from systems they know are irredeemable failures.
Let's review the central institutions of the nation:
Healthcare: a failed system doomed to bankrupt the nation.
Defense: a failed system of cartels and Pentagon fiefdoms that have saddled the nation
with enormously costly failed weapons systems like the F-35 and the LCS.
Foreign policy: Iraq: a disaster. Afghanistan: a disaster. Libya: a disaster. Syria: a
disaster. Need I go on?
Political governance: a corrupt system of self-serving elites, lobbyists, pay-to-play,
corporate puppet-masters, and sociopaths who see themselves as above the law.
The sole output of America's managerial elite is self-serving hubris.
In an open market, failed leadership has consequences. Customers vanish and the
enterprise goes bankrupt, or shareholders and employees rally to fire the failed
leadership.
In our state-cartel system, failed leadership only tightens its grip on the nation's
throat. The Deep State can't be fired, nor does it ever stand for election. The two
political parties are interchangeable, as are the politicos who race from fund-raiser to
fund-raiser.
It's tempting to blame the individuals who inhale the wealth and power of our failed
system, but it's the system, not the individuals , though a more corrupt, craven,
self-serving lot cannot easily be assembled.
Centralized hierarchies concentrate power at the top of the pyramid. That power is a
magnet for everyone who seeks to wield power and enrich themselves in the process.
In the financial system, this concentration of power is visible in the chart below: the
super-rich have become immensely richer in the past few decades of central banks' vast
expansion of credit and financialization.
As systems become more complex, the need for a professional class to manage the
overwhelming complexity grows. This class excels at appearing to manage complexity while
ignoring the larger dynamics driving the system over the cliff.
And so we have endless meetings of highly paid people over trivial issues while the entire
system careens toward meltdown. "Stakeholders" multiply in endless profusion, dooming every
project to a glacial process that increases the sums paid to manage the glacial process and
pushes the final cost to the moon.
The self-serving managerial elite always has one answer for every problem: give us more
money. If the budget expands by 10% and nothing actually changes for the better, then the
"solution" is a 25% increase in funding.
Budgets expand by leaps and bounds, but none of the systemic problems are ever resolved.
It's not hard to figure out why: look at the system's incentives. If systems were
radically simplified and made more efficient, the need for an ever-expanding class of permanent
managers would diminish. And so the solution is always more fodder for the managerial elite:
more complexity, more meetings, more accumulation of power, more managers and always, more
money.
Thus it is no surprise that the calls for "free" college and "Medicare for All" are
rising: the managerial elite that has bankrupted higher education and healthcare while
enriching themselves desperately needs to be bailed out, lest the systems they've steered
toward the fiscal cliff deservedly go broke.
In a similar set of incentives, few weapons systems ever come in under budget when the
Pentagon can always come up with another $10 or $20 billion for cost over-runs.
The system is broken, and the managerial elite will keep it broken because it serves
their interests to keep it broken. Unfortunately we'll all suffer when the managerial elite
is no longer able to stave off the dire fiscal consequences of their self-serving
leadership.
Trump is
sign of degeneration of the US political elite. Much like Pompeo and Bolton.
But his hostility to Iran is just desire to please people who control him and finance his re-election bid .
Notable quotes:
"... ran sees no prospect of negotiations with the United States, a foreign ministry spokesman said on Tuesday ..."
"... Iranian officials have repeatedly stated that there won't be any talks with the U.S. until our government rejoins the JCPOA. ..."
"... I don't see how Iranians could view Trump as anything other than a menace when one of his first acts as president was to declare all of them to be potential security threats with the unnecessary and cruel travel ban. His hostility to and contempt for Iran and its people have been intense and consistent for more than two years. ..."
"... When the president veers between "genocidal tweets" and disingenuous offers to talk, this doesn't come across as the work of a master negotiator but rather the impulsive babbling of a leader who can be easily enraged by the smallest and most inconsequential things that he happens to see on television ..."
"... Trump is not talking to Iran but his lackies in the U.S. MSM. They are seeing Iran as being fanatic and unreasonable in refusing to talk. This will be one of the justifications for war and permanent hostilities. ..."
"... I think you're wrong here. Trump doesn't hate or have contempt for Iranians. He's supremely indifferent to them. The hostility and contempt he has shown Iran and Iranians is meant to keep his major Israel and Saudi Arabia donors happy. That's been true from the beginning. Scores of millions in campaign contributions are riding on it. ..."
"... Increasingly, Donaldius Iohannes Trumpius reminds me of some latter day Roman emperor like Caligula or Nero. Absolute power, depravity, insatiable appetites for everything from power to money and women, a pathological lack of empathy, fawning courtiers – it's all there. ..."
In case there was any doubt, the Iranian government
made clear that they were not interested in talking to Trump:
I ran sees no prospect of negotiations with the United States, a foreign ministry
spokesman said on Tuesday , a day after U.S. President Donald Trump said a deal with
Tehran on its nuclear program was possible.
Iranian officials have repeatedly stated that there won't be any talks with the U.S.
until our government rejoins the JCPOA. That definitely won't happen under the current
administration, so there has never been a realistic chance of starting up U.S.-Iranian
negotiations in the near term. Everyone understands that, and that makes the president's random
"offers" to talk all the more ridiculous. Iran has already been burned by Trump's decision to
renege on the nuclear deal and wage economic war on the entire country, so there would have to
be a major effort on the U.S. side to regain Iranian trust. The Trump administration would have
to reverse course and undo every anti-Iranian thing that it has done over the last two years,
and even then that would barely get the U.S. and Iran back to where they had been in 2017.
Trump wouldn't ever do that because it would require him to admit being completely wrong.
Najmeh Bozorgmehr reports on how Iranians
are adapting to life under U.S. economic warfare against them:
Iranian analysts tell me the US made one big mistake this time. It used almost all its
non-military leverage against Iran over the wrong issue, because the country was not
violating the 2015 nuclear accord. Iranians may despise their rulers but they are aware that
the US is not righteous, either. How can they see Mr Trump as a saviour when he calls Iran "a
nation of terror" and promises "the official end of Iran"?
I don't see how Iranians could view Trump as anything other than a menace when one of
his first acts as president was to declare all of them to be potential security threats with
the unnecessary and cruel travel ban. His hostility to and contempt for Iran and its people
have been intense and consistent for more than two years. The complete lack of respect
that Trump has shown to Iranian leaders and the Iranian people alike stands in sharp contrast
to his fawning praise for the North Korean leader, and they cannot help but take that as an
insult. It also isn't lost on the people being strangled by Trump's sanctions that they are
being punished for abiding by an international agreement backed by the world's major powers
while North Korea is celebrated after successfully defying the rest of the world by building up
their nuclear arsenal and long-range missiles. Iran is being penalized because they trusted the
U.S., and Trump has proven to them that this was a foolish thing for them to do. Why would they
reward Trump's aggression and make the same mistake twice?
When the president veers between "genocidal tweets" and disingenuous offers to talk,
this doesn't come across as the work of a master negotiator but rather the impulsive babbling
of a leader who can be easily enraged by the smallest and most inconsequential things that he
happens to see on television . As the North Koreans have also learned, no one can
successfully negotiate with a person as unreliable and moody as Trump. No one in Iran's
government is going to go out on a limb and take the political risk of engaging with the U.S.
again after the last effort blew up in their faces, and Trump's mercurial instability
guarantees that it would be a waste of everyone's time.
Trump is not talking to Iran but his lackies in the U.S. MSM. They are seeing Iran as
being fanatic and unreasonable in refusing to talk. This will be one of the justifications
for war and permanent hostilities.
Our own acts of aggression are completely ignored.
"His hostility to and contempt for Iran and its people have been intense and consistent
for more than two years. "
I think you're wrong here. Trump doesn't hate or have contempt for Iranians. He's
supremely indifferent to them. The hostility and contempt he has shown Iran and Iranians is
meant to keep his major Israel and Saudi Arabia donors happy. That's been true from the
beginning. Scores of millions in campaign contributions are riding on it.
Increasingly, Donaldius Iohannes Trumpius reminds me of some latter day Roman emperor like
Caligula or Nero. Absolute power, depravity, insatiable appetites for everything from power
to money and women, a pathological lack of empathy, fawning courtiers – it's all
there.
As to their "cleverness", there was a time when UK politicians were known for their
slippery qualities and subtlety, but those days are long gone. What we have now is
barefaced lies, relying purely on repetition and monolithic corporate media ownership. They
are not winning arguments because they are clever, I have never seen such transparently
obvious bullshit before.
'Clever is as clever does' – once said with a snort – is a compliment too far
for the deeply corrupted, vulgar, mediocre nobodies who comprise the self-styled 'elites'. In
this group 'cleverness' simply means the lies they are paid to say repeated loudly and often.
And because they have the reins on power, the non-compliant are punished by thugs.
That such pieces as Bugajski's article and the RAND Corporation report have appeared
about the same time is in itself a suggestion that the US Deep State truly exists on another
plane of unreality. I wouldn't be surprised if a third hit-piece advocating regime change in
Russia were to come out soon, either in the US or in the UK, but if that happens then we'll
know we're really on a path to self-destruction.

It's easy to be mesmerised into focusing on Fink Tank drivel instead of the stuff
happening outside the stale atmosphere of their unventilated tanks. The French peasants seem
to have woken up to the fact that the Macron NeoLib govt has betrayed them and is only
pretending to listen. It's only a matter of time until the Gillet Jaunes remember the words
of jocular Neoliberal poster-boy Grover Norquist about "government small enough to drown in
the bathtub."
Of course, when funny-man Grover said that he meant govt too small to responsibly oversee
and administer all of its obligations to The People, thereby necessitating the 'outsourcing'
of the juiciest govt obligations to Private Profiteers. Unfortunately, when a govt becomes
too small and pompous to listen and respond to the legitimate concerns of The People, it runs
the risk of having its size compared with the size of the Disenchanted demographic and,
eventually, drowned. Hopefully metaphorically, although History says that when the French
neglect reform for too long, metaphorical solutions tend to be neglected too.
And France is just the tip of the iceberg. Again.
This is a very
difficult article for me to write.
As a young child I was a member of the Cub Scouts, and
I still have very fond memories from those days.
Throughout my life I always had a
tremendous amount of respect for the Boy Scouts, and so it greatly saddened me to learn about the
abuse that has been running rampant in that organization. Of course
this is just a very
small part of a much larger trend that is plaguing our society
, but if this kind of abuse
is pervasive even among the Boy Scouts,
what organization is truly safe for America's
kids?
Have we gotten to the point as a society where our children are literally not safe
anywhere?
According to
ABC
News
, court documents that were just released indicate that 12,254 victims were abused by 7,819
Boy Scout troop leaders over the years
An expert who has been working with the Boy Scouts revealed that there may have been as many
as 7,819 allegedly sexually abusive troop leaders and volunteers in the storied organization,
according to newly released court documents.
More than 7,800 individuals allegedly abused 12,254 victims, according to the court
testimony.
This is what can happen when a society has absolutely no moral foundation whatsoever.
These days, many Americans seem to believe that our country will be turned in the right direction
if we can just get the correct political leaders into place, but that is not true at all.
No political solution is going to fix this kind of evil.
Our core problems are
moral and spiritual in nature, and most people don't seem to understand that.
A lawyer named Jeff Anderson is searching for even more Boy Scout victims, and he says that his
firm has already identified
130
perpetrators in New York and 50 in New Jersey

"Nothing is more important than the
safety and protection of children in
Scouting." The courts had to let the
fags in as Scout Masters, so who is
surprised?
Our handlers have romanticized
deviancy to the point that these
people cannot be called out. We
have been weighed in the balance
and found lacking. The good,
the bad and the ugly will be
swept away with what is coming.
Are you really stupid enough to
think that homosexual paedophiles
never got into positions of
authority in the scouts until the
scouts permitted openly gay scout
leaders?
You should be thankful
that you were an ugly kid -
that's the only way you would
have escaped their clutches, if
you're this naïve as an adult.
Paedophiles have always
been attracted to any job that
involves close unsupervised
contact with children
.
Anyone in that sort of job
should always be immediately
suspect: paedophiles are very
rare in the broad population,
but they're not rare in
professions that involve close,
unsupervised contact with kids.
52 years ago I went to Boy Scout
Camp outside of Rhinelander, WI.
On the third night a scoutmaster,
who I didn't know, woke me up around
11:30 pm to go to the Deer Field to
look at stars. Being a smart ***, I
said, "Oh, I went with the other
group and we just got back." The
next day I was on the next bus outta
there. Told 'em my brother was
coming back from Viet Nam ( which
was almost true).
So basically, no surprise. I
would've been safer and had more fun
with better stories to tell spending
the night with Harvey Weinstein.
Just like a spider builds his web around the light, the homosexual
infiltrates places where he can have private access to boys –
including the priesthood and the boy scouts.
This is similar to
the way the heterosexual gets a job as like, a lifeguard at a
beach in Miami, or joins a rock band.
I have no idea why people wouldn't simply assume that huge
numbers of homosexuals would be signing up for to be Boy Scout
Scout Masters, and why they didn't control for that – for
instance, not allowing them to join unless they were married with
kids, or had otherwise proved they were not faggots.
But then the decision to just allow open faggots – that is
just it is just unfathomable.
How did we create a society that puts political correctness and
the alleged emotions of pederasts above the safety of our
children?
Who is responsible for this?
MOST IMPORTANTLY
These faggots ARE NOT ******* PEDOPHILES!
THEY ARE HOMOSEXUALS!
"Pedophile" is a specific term that means sexual attraction to
prepubescent children. Boy Scouts are pubescent boys in their
early teens.
THIS IS NORMAL HOMOSEXUAL BEHAVIOR.
During the Catholic Church pederasty scandal, they started
talking about "pedophiles" instead of homosexuals, as an attempt
to distinguish between "good homos" and "bad homos."
BUT ALL HOMOSEXUAL HAVE A PREFERENCE FOR YOUNG TEENAGE BOYS!
THAT IS WHAT HOMOSEXUALITY IS!
THERE IS ONLY ONE KIND OF "GOOD HOMO" AND THAT IS THE KIND THAT
IS FLYING THROUGH THE AIR AFTER HAVING BEEN THROWN OFF A ROOF!
"Assange was reduced from one of the few towering figures of our time – a man who will
have a central place in history books, if we as a species live long enough to write those
books "
-- The presstituting crowd of stenographers (MSM) and the zionized X-tian war profiteers
have made everything in their power (inadvertently) to ensure that Assange is and will be a
towering figure of our time.
Even in distress, Assange has been fighting for truth and dignity; the ongoing show of
lawlessness exposes the rot. The moral and creative midgets constituting the core of MSM and
the satanic deciders are upset. Good!
The idiotic Senior District "Judge" Emma Arbuthnot (a wife and beneficiary of a mega-war
profiteer Lord Arbuthnot -- Arbuthnot served as Chairman of the Defence Select Committee from
2005 to 2014) and the no less idiotic District "Judge" Michael Snow have entered the history
books as well. As scoundrels: http://members5.boardhost.com/xxxxx/msg/1555064882.html
Snow does his best to bring the Judiciary into disrepute by playing to the gallery. He
comments on the extradition in the same vein in a totally unprofessional manner. He is of
course in a long line of disreputable members of the judiciary Snow's place in history is
now secured – he chose to abuse the defendant rather than perform his role which was
really quite straightforward. He is the narcissist and guilty of self interest not Julian
Assange.
@Si1ver1ock For every pronouncement against Assange by the US/UK government and
judiciary, there should be an immediate question about the leniency shown towards the
pedophiles and rapists in the UK (see Savile and the sudden "disappearance" of files re the
high-placed pedophiles) and the story of Lolita Island and Lolita Express in the US.
One of the hurdles in investigating the claims is the Official Secrets Act, which
prevents the disclosure of state secrets and "sensitive" information. "It is clear there
are a lot of people who could provide a lot of information to support ongoing criminal
investigations But they are not doing so because of the Official Secrets Act. They are
fearful of not only breaking the law but the potential effect on their pension. This is
absolutely crucial if we are to get some of these ex-officers coming forward and to get
prosecutions of some of the former MPs." He has asked Home Secretary Theresa May to
lift the restrictions, allowing former officials to speak up about what they know about the
case, but so far there is no indication that this has been done.
The protection of the high-placed pedophiles and rapists in the US:
In the Epstein case, as well, there are numerous questions surrounding the possibility
of high-level cover up. In recent weeks it has emerged that Epstein struck a remarkable
secret deal with the US Attorney's Office that barred more than 500 pages of documents
detailing negotiations of the deal and a staggering 13,000 documents from the investigation
into Epstein's activities that were shelved as a result of the bargain.
Let the scoundrels talk about Assange to see how the concocted fraud is backfired.
Mrs. Clinton in particular should have been more circumspect:
It has since been revealed that Epstein had 21 different phone numbers for contacting
his friend Bill Clinton, who, court records allege, "frequently flew" on Epstein's private
jet between 2002 and 2005.
Also, perhaps you need to ponder why you are not treated the same way as the courageous,
talented, principled, and dignified Assange is treated. Perhaps, something is missing in your
character.
The documents are thought to shed light on the years of ongoing pedophilia and child
abuse within Westminster and contained names of "several" high-level politicians in the UK
and US who are connected to an elite pedophile ring.
In the case of the Westminster "pedophile ring," the mounting sentiment that Britain's
establishment serves its own interests and conceals its wrongdoing may be well founded.
Until recently only seven police officers were working on Operation Fernbridge; Scotland
Yard announced today the figure is now 22.
By fraudulently accusing Assange, Theresa May reminds the world about her role in the
protection of the wealthy and influential Westminster pedophiles (the real rapists).
"... Jared Kushner is 36 and he had already stepped up to a senior position in his family's real estate business Kushner Companies. This was in part because daddy Charles Kushner was in jail. But now that he has taken on a job as White House advisor to President Trump, Jared Kushner has been forced to step aside from Kushner Companies and his father Charles Kushner is stepping back in. ..."
"... So Charles Kushner, father of current Presidential advisor Jared Kushner and son in law to the President has been convicted on federal election fraud charges and witness tampering. ..."
"... Well Larry Noble, general counsel for the Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan organization focused on election laws, put it best when he told Bloomberg , "It can't hurt to be doing business with Jared Kushner's family. It's a road to the administration. At the very least they're going to have an inside track." ..."
Jared Kushner's father , Charles Kushner, who also just
so happens to be a convicted felon, has gotten back to work. He has also hired some of the people who he did time with.
In 2004 , after already paying a $508,900
fine to the Federal Election Commission for improperly contributing money to political candidates, Charles Kushner was forced to
agree to a plea bargain with Federal prosecutors and was sentenced to 14 months in a federal prison in Montgomery, Alabama. The charges
against Kushner revolved around illegal campaign contributions and witness tampering. Charles Kushner had arranged for a prostitute
to sleep with his brother in law William Schulder, who had agreed to testify against him. The encounter was filmed and Kushner used
it to try and blackmail Schulder. Gross!
The federal prosecutor who handled the case was none other than future New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. Christie later worked
side by side on Donald Trump's presidential campaign with Jared Kushner, the son in law of the President Trump who just so happens
to also be the son of Charles Kushner.
Jared Kushner is 36 and he had already stepped up to a senior position in his family's real estate business Kushner Companies.
This was in part because daddy Charles Kushner was in jail. But now that he has taken on a job as White House advisor to President
Trump, Jared Kushner has been forced to step aside from Kushner Companies and his father Charles Kushner is stepping back in.
Did you follow all of that?
At the time Chris Christie stated about the charges, "There is nothing, nothing more sacrosanct than the integrity of the grand
jury system."
Apparently prison is a good place to make business connections.
Avram Lebor and Richard Goettlich are two former convicts who served prison time with Charles Kushner who are now working for
Kushner Companies. Bloomberg reports that the two men were convicted in separate fraud schemes. Lebor, 68, served seven years
in prison and is now the firm's director of acquisitions. Goettlich served ten years in jail for his part in a ponzi scheme.
The two men were hired as part of the Kushner Companies' second-chance program. Charles Kushner is board member of Getting Out
& Staying Out, which mentors young inmates at Rikers Island.
So Charles Kushner, father of current Presidential advisor Jared Kushner and son in law to the President has been convicted
on federal election fraud charges and witness tampering.
The big question now that everyone is still asking about his son Jared is whether or not he will be able to separate his new job
working for the people of the United States from his business interests, or if there will be conflicts of interest. And will doing
business with Kushner Companies make it easier for you to get access to the White House?
Well Larry Noble, general counsel for the Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan organization focused on election laws, put
it best when he told Bloomberg , "It can't hurt to be doing business with Jared Kushner's family. It's a road to the administration.
At the very least they're going to have an inside track."
So what is Charles Kushner doing these days?
The
Real Deal reports that Charles Kushner just spent $12 million on three units in
212 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. Encompassing
an area of 4,614 square feet, the three apartments are each on a different floor, the seventh, eighth and ninth floors.
Not to mention more than a few paedo-grooming ring members who are still awaiting
deportation
How convenient these immigrants are when a good smokescreen is needed.
And how about a paedophile UK Prime Minister never investigated ?
"Sir Edward Heath WAS a paedophile, says police chief: Astonishing claim is made
that the former PM is guilty of vile crimes 'covered up by the Establishment'"
Part of the problem may be that the American oligarchy is now believing its own bullshit,
or put another way, has descended into decadence.
The United States has morphed stories many times - from a land of opportunity via theft from
Natives/occupying new land, to jobs and growth opportunities via the Industrial Revolution,
to economic prosperity through rebuilding other nations torn apart by war.
Under these lenses - particularly the last one - the Ukraine, Libya, Syria and other "freedom
and nation building" exercises make sense.
The problem is that it is still unclear that the other major nations are willing to get
themselves into another major war with each other - from which the US can sell into, both
during and after.
Another way to look at it is the Dr. Michael Hudson model: that any economy which permits
interest bearing debt to, by natural law, greatly exceed organic economic capability to repay
and is thus doomed to cataclysm - the increase of the FIRE sector (Finance, Insurance and
Real Estate) from 12% in the 80s to well over 40%, maybe 50% or 60% today, would be a good
indicator.
Under the Dr. Michael Hudson model - the "western" tradition is the abolishing of the debt
jubilee, replaced by the Roman looting of foreign lands model.
Note that the debt jubilee model can still work: a 100% or 150% inflation over a 1-3 year
period would do it, accompanied and followed by policies which restrain FIRE going forward.
However, the unwillingness of the oligarchy to accept/understand/implement is very clear.
Interesting times.

As a peedupon all I can see is that the elite seem to be fighting amongst themselves or
(IMO) providing cover for ongoing elite power/control efforts. It might not be about
private/public finance in a bigger picture but I can't see anything else that makes sense
Thanks for the Taibbi link. I hadn't seen it, and found him to be in good form. I do think
he ought to have spoken more about how bad Trump's Primary opponents were.
Most of those reporters were going to slant their stories the way their bosses wanted.
Their jobs are just too nice to do otherwise. Getting Trump as Hillary's opponent had to have
been a goal for the majority of them. He was the patsy who would become squished roadkill in
the treads of The Most Experienced Presidential Candidate In History. More on that for people
with strong stomachs:
Hillary Clinton is a knowledgeable, well-prepared, reasonable, experienced, even-tempered,
hardworking candidate, while her opponent is a stubbornly uninformed demagogue who has been
proven again and again to be a liar on matters big and small. There is no objective basis
on which to equate Hillary Clinton to her opponent.
The author had it half right. Turns out the voters knew quite a bit about Trump,
and still preferred him to the Butcher of Libya.
"... Another house manager, Alfredo Rodriguez, told Recarey that very young girls were giving Epstein massages at least twice a day, and in one instance, Epstein had Rodriguez deliver one dozen roses to Mary, at her high school. ..."
"... Palm Beach prosecutors said the evidence was weak, and after presenting the case to a grand jury, Epstein was charged with only one count of felony solicitation of prostitution. In 2008, he pleaded guilty and nominally served 13 months of an 18-month sentence in a county jail: Epstein spent one day a week there, the other six out on "work release." ..."
"... Today, Jeffrey Epstein is a free man, albeit one who routinely settles civil lawsuits against him, brought by young women, out of court. As of 2015, Epstein had settled multiple such cases. ..."
In 2005, the world was introduced to reclusive billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, friend to princes and an American
president, a power broker with the darkest of secrets: He was also a pedophile, accused of recruiting dozens of underage girls into
a sex-slave network, buying their silence and moving along, although he has been convicted of only one count of soliciting prostitution
from a minor. Visitors to his private Caribbean island, known as "Orgy Island," have included Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew and Stephen
Hawking.
According to a 2011 court filing by alleged Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre, she saw Clinton and Prince Andrew on the
island but never saw the former president do anything improper. Giuffre has accused Prince Andrew of having sex with her when she
was a minor, a charge Buckingham Palace denies.
"Epstein lives less than one mile away from me in Palm Beach," author James Patterson tells The Post. In the 11 years since Epstein
was investigated and charged by the Palm Beach police department, ultimately copping a plea and serving 13 months on one charge of
soliciting prostitution from a 14-year-old girl, Patterson has remained obsessed with the case.
"He's a fascinating character to read about," Patterson says. "What is he thinking? Who is he?"
Patterson's new book,
"Filthy Rich:
A Powerful Billionaire, the Sex Scandal That Undid Him, and All the Justice That Money Can Buy," is an attempt to answer such
questions. Co-authored with John Connolly and Tim Malloy, the book contains detailed police interviews with girls who alleged sexual
abuse by Epstein and others in his circle. Giuffre alleged that Epstein's ex-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of the late media
tycoon Robert Maxwell, abused her. Ghislaine Maxwell has denied allegations of enabling abuse.
Epstein has spent the bulk of his adult life cultivating relationships with the world's most powerful men. Flight logs show that
from 2001 to 2003, Bill Clinton flew on Epstein's private plane, dubbed "The Lolita Express" by the press, 26 times. After Epstein's
arrest in July 2006, federal tax records show Epstein donated $25,000 to the Clinton Foundation that year.
Bill Clinton in 1994. AP
Epstein was also a regular visitor to Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago, and the two were friends. According to the Daily Mail, Trump
was a frequent dinner guest at Epstein's home, which was often full of barely dressed models. In 2003, New York magazine reported
that Trump also attended a dinner party at Epstein's honoring Bill Clinton.
Last year, The Guardian reported that Epstein's "little black book" contained contact numbers for A-listers including Tony Blair,
Naomi Campbell, Dustin Hoffman, Michael Bloomberg and Richard Branson.
In a 2006 court filing, Palm Beach police noted that a search of Epstein's home uncovered two hidden cameras. The Mirror reported
that in 2015, a 6-year-old civil lawsuit filed by "Jane Doe No. 3," believed to be the now-married Giuffre, alleged that Epstein
wired his mansion with hidden cameras, secretly recording orgies involving his prominent friends and underage girls. The ultimate
purpose: blackmail, according to court papers.
Britain's Prince Andrew in 2012 AP
"Jane Doe No. 3" also alleged that she had been forced to have sex with "numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business
executives, a well-known prime minister, and other world leaders."
"We uncovered a lot of details about the police investigation and a lot about the girls, what happened to them, the effect on
their lives," Patterson says.
"The reader has to ask: Was justice done here or not?"
Epstein, now 63, has always been something of an international man of mystery. Born in Brooklyn, he had a middle-class upbringing:
His father worked for the Parks Department, and his parents stressed hard work and education.
'We uncovered a lot of details about the police investigation and a lot about the girls, what happened to them, the effect
on their lives.'
- James Patterson
Epstein was brilliant, skipping two grades and graduating Lafayette High School in 1969. He attended Cooper Union but dropped
out in 1971 and by 1973 was teaching calculus and physics at Dalton, where he tutored the son of a Bear Stearns exec. Soon, Epstein
applied his facility with numbers on Wall Street but left Bear Stearns under a cloud in 1981. He formed his own business, J. Epstein
& Co.
The bar for entry at the new firm was high. According to a 2002 profile in New York magazine, Epstein only took on clients who
turned over $1 billion, at minimum, for him to manage. Clients also had to pay a flat fee and sign power of attorney over to Epstein,
allowing him to do whatever he saw fit with their money.
Still, no one knew exactly what Epstein did, or how he was able to amass a personal billion-dollar-plus fortune. In addition to
a block-long, nine-story mansion on Manhattan's Upper East Side, Epstein owns the $6.8 million mansion in Palm Beach, an $18 million
property in New Mexico, the 70-acre private Caribbean island, a helicopter, a Gulfstream IV and a Boeing 727.
"My belief is that Jeff maintains some sort of money-management firm, though you won't get a straight answer from him," one high-level
investor told New York magazine. "He once told me he had 300 people working for him, and I've also heard that he manages Rockefeller
money. But one never knows. It's like looking at the Wizard of Oz -- there may be less there than meets the eye."
Jeffrey Epstein's Palm Beach home Splash News
"He's very enigmatic," Rosa Monckton told Vanity Fair in 2003. Monckton was the former British CEO of Tiffany & Co. and confidante
to the late Princess Diana. She was also a close friend of Epstein's since the 1980s. "He never reveals his hand . . . He's a classic
iceberg. What you see is not what you get."
Both profiles intimated that Epstein had a predilection for young women but never went further. In the New York magazine piece,
Trump said Epstein's self-professed image as a loner, an egghead and a teetotaler was not wholly accurate.
Donald Trump in 1990 AP
"I've known Jeff for 15 years," Trump said. "Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful
women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it -- Jeffrey enjoys his social life."
Three years after that profile ran, Palm Beach Police Officer Michele Pagan got a disturbing message. A woman reported that her
14-year-old stepdaughter confided to a friend that she'd had sex with an older man for money. The man's name was Jeff, and he lived
in a mansion on a cul-de-sac.
Pagan persuaded the woman to bring her stepdaughter down to be interviewed. In his book, Patterson calls the girl Mary. And Mary,
like so many of the other girls who eventually talked, came from the little-known working-class areas surrounding Palm Beach.
A friend of a friend, Mary said, told her she could make hundreds of dollars in one hour, just for massaging some middle-aged
guy's feet. Lots of other girls had been doing it, some three times a week.
Mary claimed she had been driven to the mansion on El Brillo Way, where a female staffer escorted her up a pink-carpeted staircase,
then into a room with a massage table, an armoire topped with sex toys and a photo of a little girl pulling her underwear off.

Epstein entered the room, wearing only a towel, Mary said.
"He took off the towel," Mary told Pagan. "He was a really built guy. But his wee-wee was very tiny."
Mary said Epstein got on the table and barked orders at her. She told police she was alone in the room with him, terrified.
Pagan wrote the following in her incident report:
"She removed her pants, leaving her thong panties on. She straddled his back, whereby her exposed buttocks were touching Epstein's
exposed buttocks. Epstein then turned to his side and started to rub his penis in an up-and-down motion. Epstein pulled out a purple
vibrator and began to massage Mary's vaginal area."
Palm Beach assigned six more detectives to the investigation. They conducted a "trash pull" of Epstein's garbage, sifting through
paper with phone numbers, used condoms, toothbrushes, worn underwear. In one pull, police found a piece of paper with Mary's phone
number on it, along with the number of the person who recruited her.
On Sept. 11, 2005, detectives got another break. Alison, as she's called in the book, told Detective Joe Recarey that she had
been going to Epstein's house since she was 16. Alison had been working at the Wellington Green Mall, saving up for a trip to Maine,
when a friend told her, "You can get a plane ticket in two hours . . . We can go give this guy a massage and he'll pay $200," according
to her statement to the police.
Alison told Recarey that she visited Epstein hundreds of times. She said he had bought her a new 2005 Dodge Neon, plane tickets,
and gave her spending money. Alison said he even asked her to emancipate from her parents so she could live with him full-time as
his "sex slave."
She said Epstein slowly escalated his sexual requests, and despite Alison's insistence that they never have intercourse, alleged,
"This one time . . . he bent me over the table and put himself in me. Without my permission."
Alison then asked if what Epstein had done to her was rape and spoke of her abject fear of him.
An abridged version of her witness statement, as recounted in the book:
Alison : Before I say anything else . . . um, is there a possibility that I'm gonna have to go to court or anything?
Recarey : I mean, what he did to you is a crime. I'm not gonna lie to you.
Alison : Would you consider it rape, what he did?
Recarey : If he put himself inside you without permission . . . That, that is a crime. That is a crime.
Alison : I don't want my family to find out about this . . . 'Cause Jeffrey's gonna get me. You guys realize that, right? . . . I'm
not safe now. I'm not safe.
Recarey : Why do you say you're not safe? Has he said he's hurt people before?
Alison : Well, I've heard him make threats to people on the telephone, yeah. Of course.
Recarey : You're gonna die? You're gonna break your legs? Or --
Alison : All of the above!
Alison also told Recarey that Epstein got so violent with her that he ripped out her hair and threw her around. "I mean," she
said, "there's been nights that I walked out of there barely able to walk, um, from him being so rough."
Two months later, Recarey interviewed Epstein's former house manager of 11 years, documented in his probable-cause affidavit as
Mr. Alessi. "Alessi stated Epstein receives three massages a day . . . towards the end of his employment, the masseuses . . . appeared
to be 16 or 17 years of age at the most . . . [Alessi] would have to wash off a massager/vibrator and a long rubber penis, which
were in the sink after the massage."
Another house manager, Alfredo Rodriguez, told Recarey that very young girls were giving Epstein massages at least twice a
day, and in one instance, Epstein had Rodriguez deliver one dozen roses to Mary, at her high school.
In May 2006, the Palm Beach Police Department filed a probable-cause affidavit, asking prosecutors to charge Epstein with four
counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor -- a second-degree felony -- and one count of lewd and lascivious molestation of
a 14-year-old minor, also a second-degree felony.
Today, Jeffrey Epstein is a free man, albeit one who routinely settles civil lawsuits against him, brought by young women,
out of court.
Palm Beach prosecutors said the evidence was weak, and after presenting the case to a grand jury, Epstein was charged with
only one count of felony solicitation of prostitution. In 2008, he pleaded guilty and nominally served 13 months of an 18-month sentence
in a county jail: Epstein spent one day a week there, the other six out on "work release."
Today, Jeffrey Epstein is a free man, albeit one who routinely settles civil lawsuits against him, brought by young women,
out of court. As of 2015, Epstein had settled multiple such cases.
Giuffre has sued Ghislaine Maxwell in Manhattan federal court, charging defamation -- saying Maxwell stated Giuffre lied about
Maxwell's recruitment of her and other underage girls. Epstein has been called upon to testify in court this month, on Oct. 20.
The true number of Epstein's victims may never be known.
He will be a registered sex offender for the rest of his life, not that it fazes him. "I'm not a sexual predator, I'm an 'offender,' "
Epstein told The Post in 2011. "It's the difference between a murderer and a person who steals a bagel."
Former Pope Benedict's sudden resignation is speculated by many to have stemmed from rampant
child abuse. These accusations are supported by a number of witnesses and a shocking story that
got no air time in the mainstream media -- that the former
Pope Benedict's brother abused at least 231 children at a catholic boys choir .
One document that turned up after 30 years showed that the Thatcher
government knew and was told about the Westminster officials' odd sexual behaviors. The
CIA and
KGB even knew about what was going on and hoped to blackmail the VIP pedophile ring in
exchange for information.
Even the High Court judge to the Queen,
Lord Justice Fulford, tried to lower the age of consent to four. Absolutely sick and
twisted -- four years old.
Put simply this is utterly disgusting.. Children are being put below politics, because
psychopaths are in control and believe that they are
entitled to abuse people . It's even alleged that they used
children's foster homes as a supply to fulfill their sick urge.
Actor and comedian Russell Brand did a very good expose on the UK Pedophilia scandal. So did
Australia's
60 minutes and another Australian comedy show called "The Last Leg". Using comedy to shed
light on a dark subject is an old practice made well known by comedian's like George Carlin .
... ... ...
There was a documentary set to be aired called the "Conspiracy of Silence" on the Discovery
Channel, but that documentary was canceled at the last minute and all copies bought up until a
copy leaked online years later...showing the influence these pedophiles have on the media. Not
only that but several people were threatened, murdered or imprisoned to keep this sick secret
hushed up.
Conspiracy of Silence BANNED TV Documentary :
... ... ...
The State Department
DYNCORP was found to have trafficked children, and continued to receive government
contracts. Congresswoman Cynthia Mckinney asked then Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld why
this corporation continues to receive funding. His answer admitted abuse happened.
Further information on DYNCORP's trafficking of children can be found from a whistle-blower,
Kathryn Bolkovac - a human rights investigator who saw UN officials, military and state
department officials involved in human trafficking in Bosnia. Her story was then turned into a
Hollywood movie called "The
Whistleblower."
Pedophilia has come up in the mainstream a lot lately, as PizzaGate came to light fairly recently and more and more pedophile
rings are being exposed, some of which have involved government officials.
If you're unfamiliar with PizzaGate, it refers to a wide range of email correspondence leaked from the DNC that allegedly unearthed
a high-level elitist global pedophile ring in which the U.S. government was involved.
It emerged when Wikileaks released tens of thousands of emails from the former White House Chief of Staff under Bill Clinton,
John Podesta, who also served as Hillary Clinton's campaign manager. It's because of these emails that many claimed John Podesta
was a part of these child trafficking rings as well.
Since then, conspiracy theorists and world renowned journalists alike have been looking into the topic and speculating how big
this problem could be and who could be involved within these underground rings.
For example, award winning American journalist Ben Swann explained the Pizzagate controversy in detail on mainstream news:
Not long after, Swann's entire online personal brand and accounts had all but vanished from the
internet. Why?
More recently, there's been some speculation that these pedophile rings could stretch into pop culture, potentially involving
more pedophilia scandals and symbolism within the media. The question here is: Is there any tangible evidence of all of this, or
is it mere speculation?
Pedophilia Symbolism
I'd like to begin by identifying the symbols that are used by pedophiles to identify themselves and make their requests within
underground networks. Here is a link
to a declassified FBI document illustrating the symbols and images used by pedophiles to "identify their sexual preferences."
So, how do these images relate to pizza? First of all, before PizzaGate was even suggested, "cheese pizza" was used as
a code word to discuss "child porn" (hint: it's the same initials, CP). A quick Google search will reveal that the market for underage
sex workers is fairly substantial, and you can even see a 2015 post on
Urban Dictionary that explains
how "cheese pizza" is used as code for child porn.
As per PizzaGate and the symbolism, it all started when multiple emails involving John Podesta, his brother, and Hillary Clinton
simply didn't add up. Strange wording discussing pizza and cheese left readers confused, and because the emails made so little sense,
it led many to suspect that they were code for something else.
For example, this email addressed to John Podesta
reads: "The realtor found a handkerchief (I think it has a map that seems pizza-related)," and
this email sent from John Podesta asks: "Do you
think I'll do better playing dominos on cheese than on pasta?" There are many more examples, and I encourage you to go through
the Wikileaks vault to explore.
On top of that, the DNC was associated with two pizza places, Comet Ping Pong and Besta Pizza, which use very clear symbols of
pedophilia in their advertising and have strange images of children and other ritualistic type images and suspicious videos on their
social media accounts – which has since been made private given the controversy over the images and their link to the DNC, but again,
a quick Google search will show you what those images looked like. You can read the email correspondence between John Podesta and
Comet Ping Pong's owner, James Alefantis,
here .
His greatest accomplishment may well be that he has caused Washington's Swamp Dwellers to rise from the ooze and expose themselves
for all the world to see. That's weakened them immeasurably, perhaps fatally. To be sure, that's no small thing, and the next
Trump to come along is now on full alert as to who & what to bring with him.
You nailed it. Even if they do eventually succeed in foiling Trump, things will never be the same again. The whole world is watching
the circus in Washington, and so Washington's brand ('democracy') is now shot. 2016 was indeed an annus mirabilis! " things will
never be the same again. The whole world is watching the circus in Washington.."
It looks and sounds like dementia – as if a sick person behaving inappropriately, showing unprovoked aggression (like some
Alzheimer patients), using silly or senseless phrasing, and having the unreasonable demands and uncontrolled fits of rage like
a spoiled child. The marasmic McCain, marasmic Pelosi, and hysterical Max Boot, the openly lying Clapper and the hate-filled profiteer
Brennan.
As I have written here and elsewhere, President Swamp Drainer needs to get control of the DoJ. He got rid of Comey, which was
good, but got Rosenstein and Mueller in response. Meanwhile Jeff Sessions is twiddling his thumbs re the Russia witch hunt. Perhaps
his recusal was appropriate, but he's not doing anything whatsoever regarding Swamp Draining. So it feels like he's a disingenuous
old guard GOPer, who wants to obstruct any real progress, while dragging his feet with do-nothingness obscured behind a facade
of law enforcement community boosterism. By this tactic the GOP attempts to stall until 2020, when it can then point at Trump's
failures (failures they have enabled by their stalling, wink wink) and then campaign to take "their" party back. In short, Sessions
may just be an anti-Trump "mole" planted in the single most important position with regard to swamp draining, in order to ***prevent***
any swamp draining.
Let me be clear: in the last 24 years the DC political class has gone almost entirely criminal, with the last 13 years dedicated
to serial war crimes. In this sort of situation the DoJ, AG, and FBI head, becomes corrupted, and turns away from the rule of
law to become a shield for the DC criminal despotism.
So watch closely what happens next. Just today rumors have come out -- though I've been speaking of this for several weeks
now -- that there is talk in the White House about ***recess appointments*** . We have reached the crucial moment, and I for one
am surprised that, as important as this is, it has not been prominent in public discussion until now. The "August" was scheduled
to begin at the end of business tomorrow, July 28th. Because of the health care business, McConnell has postponed it for two weeks,
so let's call it for close of business Friday, August 11th. That's fifteen days from now.
When Congress goes home fifteen days from now, this country and the world may very well change forever. Go to Wikipedia and
look up "recess appointment". Here's what you will find:
" a recess appointment is an appointment by the President of a federal official while the U.S. Senate is in recess.
Recess appointments are authorized by Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, which states:
The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting
Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session .
If Trump is the fighter I think he is, then this is what he has been waiting for, ever so patiently these last six months.
Notice that the Congress cannot countermand recess appointments. Recess appointments end by expiration, and then only at the end
of the following Congressional session. Other than impeachment, Congress cannot stop Trump from doing this .
So Trump dumps Sessions, purges the anti-Trump prosecutors from previous administrations, and appoints a new FBI head and dozens
of fire-breathing swamp-draining prosecutors who immediately start doling out orange jumpsuits. He could -- not saying that he
would execute this "nuclear option" -- but he could lock up virtually the entire Congress on war crimes charges; Neocons for conspiracy
to commit war crimes; Cheney, Addington, Yoo, and Bybee to the Hague for torture; Hillary and Obama for Libya.
Control of the DoJ is the key.
The next two weeks will show whether Trump is the real deal, or just another schlub.
Can the elite be afflicted by some mass disease. Is Neoconservatism a deadly infection ?
Theoretically Democracy depends on information freely available and responsibility of the citizenry to make decisions based on
that information. The political elites have made certain precious little of reliable, unclouded and relevant information ever gets
broadcast even while popularizing, promoting and rewarding every form of misrepresentation, ignorance and irresponsibility. In
other words they spearheaded a dangerous disease to stay in power. And eventually got infected themselves.

What if, on election day, you only have a choice between 2 candidates. Both favoring all
the wrong choices, but one tends to talk up Christianity and family and the other talks up
diversity.
And both get their funding from the very wealthy and corporations. And any 3rd choices
would be "throwing your vote away". How would you ever get to vote for someone who might
change course?
Democracy has little to actually do with choice or power.

GB may not have been any utopia in 1914, but it was certainly geo-politically dominant. It's common people's social,
economic and cultural living standards most assuredly was vastly improved over Russian, or European peasants. There can be no
serious comparison with third world countries and regions.
As for the US, there can be absolutely no debate about its own dominance, or material standard of living after 1945 as
compared to any where else in the world. More importantly, even uneducated and very contemporary observers were capable of
recognizing how our elites had sold out their interests in favor of the furtherance of their own.
If we are on about democratic government, then it's been generations since either country and their peoples have had any
real democracy. Democracy depends on information freely available and responsibility of the citizenry to make decisions based
on that information. The political elites have made certain precious little of reliable, unclouded and relevant information
ever gets broadcast even while popularizing, promoting and rewarding every form of misrepresentation, ignorance and
irresponsibility.
That is how they maintain control and manipulate government to facilitate their own interests to the detriment of the
rest of society. Bretix and President Trump have upset their apple cart, which they felt certain was invulnerable and immune
to challenge.

What ineffable flummadiddle!
Prominent Brexiteers include Boris Johnson (dual UK/US citizenship, educated in Brussels and at Eton and Oxford, of mixed
ancestry, including a link - by illegitimate descent - to the royal houses of Prussia and the UK); Jacob Rees-Mogg (son of a
baron, educated at Eton and Oxford, amassed a solid fortune via hedge fund management); Arron Banks (millionaire, bankroller
of UKIP, made to the Brexit campaign the largest ever political donation in UK politics).
So much for "the elite" being against Brexit!
But the main problem with Brexit is this. Having voted by a slim margin in favour of Brexit, the Great British Public
then, in the general election, denied a majority to the government that had undertaken to implement it, and elected a
Parliament of whom, by a rough estimate, two thirds oppose Brexit.
It ain't that "the elite" got "things wrong". It's that bloody Joe Public can't make his mind what to do - and go through
with it.
Rossbach, January 20, 2019 at 2:14 pm
"Whether the imagined utopia of a dominant Great Britain prior to 1914 or a dominant America after 1945 ever actually
existed is beside the point."
It wasn't to restore any defunct utopia that led people to vote for Brexit or Donald Trump; it was to check the descent of
the Anglosphere into the totalitarian dystopia of forced multi-cultural globalism that caused voters to reject the EU in
Britain and Hillary Clinton in the US. It is because they believed that only with the preservation of their national
independence was there any chance or hope for a restoration of individual liberty that our people voted as they did.

It's why they won't enjoy their privileges much longer. That stale charade can't and won't last.
We don't have a meritocracy. We have a pseudo-meritocracy with an unduly large contingent of aliens, liars, cheats,
frauds, and incompetents. They give each other top marks, speak each other's PC language, and hire each other's kids. And
they don't understand why things are falling apart, and why they are increasingly hated by real Americans.
A very nasty decade or two is coming our way, but after we've swept out the filth there will be a good chance that
Americans will be Americans again.

An excellent piece. I would add only that the so-called elites mentioned by Mr Bacevich are largely the products of
the uppermost stratum of colleges and universities, at least in the USA, and that for a generation or more now, those
institutions have indoctrinated rather than educated.
As their more recent alumni move into government, media and cultural production, the primitiveness of their views and
their inability to think - to say nothing of their fundamental ignorance about our civilization other than that it is bad and
evil - begin to have real effect. The new dark age is no longer imminent. It is here, and it is them. I see no way to
rectify the damage. When minds are ruined young, they remain ruined.

What a bunch of fools. As Tucker Carlson aptly said
Most terrifying of all, the crew has become incompetent. They have no idea how to sail.
They're spinning the ship's wheel like they're playing roulette and cackling like mental
patients.
The boat is listing, taking on water, about to sink. They're totally unaware that any of
this is happening. As waves wash over the deck, they're awarding themselves majestic new
titles and raising their own salaries. You look on in horror, helpless and desperate. You
have nowhere to go. You're trapped on a ship of fools.
Plato imagined this scene in The Republic. He never mentions what happened to the ship. It
would be nice to know. What was written as an allegory is starting to feel like a
documentary, as generations of misrule threaten to send our country beneath the waves.
The people who did it don't seem aware of what they've done. They don't want to know, and
they don't want you to tell them. Facts threaten their fantasies. And so they continue as if
what they're doing is working, making mistakes and reaping consequences that were predictable
even to Greek philosophers thousands of years before the Internet.
They're fools. The rest of us are their passengers.
Any unbiased observer would suspect that considerable part of US Congress consists of senile
gerantocrats...

"... Let's stop using the word "elites". That sounds too positive, as though they have some admirable traits acquired by hard work, as in "elite athletes". Instead, let's call them "oligarchs" so that we get the right nuances of wealth and power, and get the correct emotional connotations of our disgust with them. We should label them with labels that they will dislike: oligarchs, mob bosses, etc. ..."
"... This is not irrational. The screaming, the hysteria, this is the utterly rational, breathtakingly brutal reaction of a ruling elite that has the moral sense of a reptile. And it's working.

Where to begin to analyze the madness of mainstream media in reaction to the Trump-Putin
meeting in Helsinki? By focusing on the individual, psychology has neglected the problem of
mass insanity, which has now overwhelmed the United States establishment, its mass media and
most of its copycat European subsidiaries. The individuals may be sane, but as a herd they are
ready to leap off the cliff.
For the past two years, a particular power group has sought to explain away its loss of
power – or rather, its loss of the Presidency, as it still holds a predominance of
institutional power – by creation of a myth. Mainstream media is known for its herd
behavior, and in this case the editors, commentators, journalists have talked themselves into a
story that initially they themselves could hardly take seriously.
Donald Trump was elected by Russia ?
On the face of it, this is preposterous. Okay, the United States can manage to rig elections
in Honduras, or Serbia, or even Ukraine, but the United States is a bit too big and complex to
leave the choice of the Presidency to a barrage of electronic messages totally unread by most
voters. If this were so, Russia wouldn't need to try to "undermine our democracy". It would
mean that our democracy was already undermined, in tatters, dead. A standing corpse ready to be
knocked over by a tweet.
Even if, as is alleged without evidence, an army of Russian bots (even bigger than the
notorious Israeli army of bots) was besieging social media with its nefarious slanders against
poor innocent Hillary Clinton, this could determine an election only in a vacuum, with no other
influences in the field. But there was a lot of other stuff going on in the 2016 election, some
for Trump and some for Hillary, and Hillary herself scored a crucial own goal by denigrating
millions of Americans as "deplorables" because they didn't fit into her identity politics
constituencies.
The Russians could do nothing to build support for Trump, and there is not a hint of
evidence that they tried. They might have done something to harm Hillary, because there was so
much there: the private server emails, the Clinton foundation, the murder of Moammer Gaddafi,
the call for a no-fly zone in Syria they didn't have to invent it. It was there. So was the
hanky panky at the Democratic National Committee, on which the Clintonite accusations focus,
perhaps to cause everyone to forget much worse things.
When you come to think of it, the DNC scandal focused on Debbie Wasserman Schultz, not on
Hillary herself. Screaming about "Russian hacking the DNC" has been a distraction from much
more serious accusations against Hillary Clinton. Bernie Sanders supporters didn't need those
"revelations" to make them stop loving Hillary or even to discover that the DNC was working
against Bernie. It was always perfectly obvious.
So at worst, "the Russians" are accused of revealing some relatively minor facts concerning
the Hillary Clinton campaign. Big deal.
But that is enough, after two years of fakery, to send the establishment into a frenzy of
accusations of "treason" when Trump does what he said he would do while campaigning, try to
normalize relations with Russia.
This screaming comes not only from the US mainstream, but also from that European elite
which has been housebroken for seventy years as obedient poodles, dachshunds or corgis in the
American menagerie, via intense vetting by US trans-Atlantic "cooperation" associations. They
have based their careers on the illusion of sharing the world empire by following U.S. whims in
the Middle East and transforming the mission of their armed forces from defense into foreign
intervention units of NATO under U.S. command. Having not thought seriously about the
implications of this for over half a century, they panic at the suggestion of being left to
themselves.
The Western elite is now suffering from self-inflicted dementia.
Donald Trump is not particularly articulate, navigating through the language with a small
repetitive vocabulary, but what he said at his Helsinki press conference was honest and even
brave. As the hounds bay for his blood, he quite correctly refused to endorse the "findings" of
US intelligence agencies, fourteen years after the same agencies "found" that Iraq was bursting
with weapons of mass destruction. How in the world could anyone expect anything else?
But for the mainstream media, "the story" at the Helsinki summit, even the only
story, was Trump's reaction to the, er, trumped up charges of Russian interference in our
democracy. Were you or were you not elected thanks to Russian hackers? All they wanted was a
yes or no answer. Which could not possibly be yes. So they could write their reports in
advance.
Anyone who has frequented mainstream journalists, especially those who cover the "big
stories" on international affairs, is aware of their obligatory conformism, with few
exceptions. To get the job, one must have important "sources", meaning government spokesmen who
are willing to tell you what "the story" is, often without being identified. Once they know
what "the story" is, competition sets in: competition as to how to tell it. That leads to an
escalation of rhetoric, variations on the theme: "The President has betrayed our great country
to the Russian enemy. Treason!"
This demented chorus on "Russian hacking" prevented mainstream media from even doing their
job. Not even mentioning, much less analyzing, any of the real issues at the summit. To find
analysis, one must go on line, away from the official fake news to independent reporting. For
example, "the Moon of Alabama" site offers
an intelligent interpretation of the Trump strategy , which sounds infinitely more
plausible than "the story". In short, Trump is trying to woo Russia away from China, in a
reverse version of Kissinger's strategy forty years ago to woo China away from Russia, thus
avoiding a continental alliance against the United States. This may not work because the United
States has proven so untrustworthy that the cautious Russians are highly unlikely to abandon
their alliance with China for shadows. But it makes perfect sense as an explanation of Trump's
policy, unlike the caterwauling we've been hearing from Senators and talking heads on CNN.
Those people seem to have no idea of what diplomacy is about. They cannot conceive of
agreements that would be beneficial to both sides. No, it's got to be a zero sum game, winner
take all. If they win, we lose, and vice versa.
They also have no idea of the harm to both sides if they do not agree. They have no project,
no strategy. Just hate Trump.
He seems totally isolated, and every morning I look at the news to see if he has been
assassinated yet.
It is unimaginable for our Manichean moralists that Putin might also be under fire at home
for failing to chide the American president for U.S. violations of human rights in Guantanamo,
murderous drone strikes against defenseless citizens throughout the Middle East, the
destruction of Libya in violation of the UN mandate, interference in the elections of countless
countries by government-financed "non-governmental organizations" (the National Endowment of
Democracy), worldwide electronic spying, invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, not to mention the
world's greatest prison population and regular massacres of school children. But the diplomatic
Russians know how to be polite.
Still, if Trump actually makes a "deal", there may be losers – neither the U.S. nor
Russia but third parties. When two great powers reach agreement, it is often at somebody else's
expense. The West Europeans are afraid it will be them, but such fears are groundless. All
Putin wants is normal relations with the West, which is not much to ask.
Rather, candidate number one for paying the price are the Palestinians, or even Iran, in
marginal ways. At the press conference, asked about possible areas of cooperation between the
two nuclear powers, Trump suggested that the two could agree on helping Israel:
"We both spoke with Bibi Netanyahu. They would like to do certain things with respect to
Syria, having to do with the safety of Israel. In that respect, we absolutely would like to
work in order to help Israel. Israel will be working with us. So both countries would work
jointly."
In political terms, Trump knows where political power lies, and is counting on the influence
of the pro-Israel lobby, which recognizes the defeat in Syria and the rising influence of
Russia, to save him from the liberal imperialists – a daring bet, but he does not have
much choice.
On another subject, Trump said that "our militaries" get along with the Russians "better
than our politicians". This is another daring bet, on military realism that could somehow
neutralize military industrial congressional complex lobbying for more and more weapons.
In short, the only chance to end the nuclear war threat may depend on support for Trump from
Israel and the Pentagon!
The hysterical neoliberal globalists seem to have ruled out any other possibility –
and perhaps this one too.
"Constructive dialogue between the United States and Russia forwards the opportunity to open
new pathways toward peace and stability in our world" Trump declared "I would rather take a
political risk in pursuit of peace than to risk peace in pursuit of politics."
That is more than his political enemies can claim.
This is a frightening, accurate commentary on what we face as a result of an unaccountable
power structure resorting to any and all means to retain power which, if this structure
continues to exercise it, will lead to our extinction.
In the establishment, it's not dementia as such, it's just serving the highest bidder. You
can accuse only the elites of dementia: they forgot that to enjoy the fruits of your thievery
you have to be alive. If only they die, it would be a great service to the humanity.
Unfortunately, the way things go, they might take us all with them.
This mass hysteria over a country hostile to both democracy and gay rights (it's hard to tell
which one is worse) has been seen in the west before.
It's very reminiscent of the lead-up to Iraq war in 2003. I mean what's next? Are they
gonna accuse Russia of having WMD's too?
They are pretty good at providing false evidence of WMD's, I wouldn't be surprised if they
stage another presentation of evidence of Russian WMD's at UN, complete with satellite images
of mobile trucks equipped with Uranium enrichment technology and all that.
That Nikki Halley can be quite persuasive, you know. I just hope that the world doesn't
buy that BS again. Russia having WMD's? That's preposterous. They tricked us the last time, I
hope that the people have learned their lesson – not to trust them anymore.
Thank you, this is an excellent summary of the situation right now. It's worth noting too
just how disconnected the establishment is from the wider public. They have enormous
financial resources and access to the entire legacy media but seem to have almost no real
base of support. Remember how the Never Trumpers had no one more prominent and well-known
than Evan McMullan (!!) to run as their candidate? Note too the tiny number of views the
YouTube videos of the Aspen Institute get: https://www.youtube.com/user/AspenInstitute/videos
.
On its own, these things aren't conclusive proof but together they add up. The Aspen
Institute crowd is an almost entirely self-contained subculture. They seem to have no base of
support, beyond their stacks of money, job titles and the power that come with the various
offices they hold. That's probably why they can never stop calling their opponents
"populists" or why Bill Kristol keeps tweeting about encountering scrappy shoeshine boys who
shout "give Trump hell, Mr Kristol!" as he goes about his urban peregrinations.
Diana Johnstone is not alone. Others on the alt-Left are starting to wake up, too. This is
Joaquín Flores:
People are seeing through dishonesty, and the old language traps are used up and done
for. If reconquista is the goal, then we need to have an honest conversation about that. If
there's a Latino nation with self determination in the south-west US, or rights 'back' to
the south-west US, then let's speak of it in such terms. Because then we'd be looking at a
Euro-American nation also. Now of course there's issues of interpenetrated peoples, and
identities we carry in our minds in diverse urban centers. But the point here is that we
have to have an honest discourse, and stop hiding reconquista sentiments under the rubric
of 'human rights'. Because European-Americans don't have right of return to Europe, so the
left is promoting what will ultimately be a race war, full scale, if they don't chill the
fuck out and back off this disingenuous approach to policy-wonkism on immigration.
The paradigmatic question today is, how is wealth made, and where does wealth come from?
What is the balance of trade and debts, and how is that is no longer manageable? The US
empire and NATO is no longer manageable. Trump is unwinding NATO. That can't be a bad
thing.
@AnonFromTNLet's stop using the word "elites". That sounds too positive, as though they have some
admirable traits acquired by hard work, as in "elite athletes". Instead, let's call them
"oligarchs" so that we get the right nuances of wealth and power, and get the correct
emotional connotations of our disgust with them. We should label them with labels that they
will dislike: oligarchs, mob bosses, etc.
@Tulips
You are right, of course, the word "elites" has too many positive connotations. In fact, they
are oligarchs, mega-thieves, or something on those lines. Functionally, in our society they
are puppet masters of all the venal puppets (politicians, journos, etc.).
I hear you, and I sympathize, but this is not mass dementia.
The oligarchy that runs the United States was worried that Donald Trump might actually
(!!) take some consideration for the national interest of the people of the United States of
America. That will never do.
This is not irrational. The screaming, the hysteria, this is the utterly rational,
breathtakingly brutal reaction of a ruling elite that has the moral sense of a reptile. And
it's working. All of Trump's campaign promises to stop wasting trillions on pointless winless
foreign wars of choice, and instead spend that on our own country? Gone. And so much else
besides.
It's dangerous to underestimate an enemy. The useful idiot foot soldiers, screaming in
mindless herd instinct, are one thing. The people behind them – the Koch brothers, Jeff
Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, others – there is nothing at all mindless or demented about
them.
Having a title "Mass Dementia in the Western Establishment" and approaching this effort as
"mass insanity", "demented chorus" etc. is simply delusional.
They know exactly what they are doing and, it appears, they are doing it well.
The are able to create their own reality. What puzzles me a bit isn't "them" or their servants (media etc.).
It's people in general. They appear to be buying that manufactured reality with ease. In this
era of instant communications it's .sobering. This constant shitting on "them" and their servants is fine and dandy but feels as just a
feel good exercise.
Perhaps some effort could be spared in trying to analyze and explain common people approach
to all this. The buying, hook and sinker, that manufacture.
Anyone with an average intelligence can, in two hours trawling of Internet, get how false
all that is. And, yet, here we are.
The same people who can spend hours on social media, shopping and entertainment online can't,
for SOME reason, figure all that out.
Easy to blame "them" and media/academia/whatever.
Maybe it's time to start passing a bit of blame to people in general.
@Daniel
Rich The Russians are by nature cautious. They are a conglomerate of individuals, many of
whom remember times when they would be sent by communist tyrants to a gulag for Wrongthink.
Of course they're cautious.
How Hillary Clinton could even run for presidency after the murder of Moammer Gaddafi and
Libya destruction, in any decent civilisation and society.
That's planetary shame and the most important question, not DNC hack or anything else, which
just trace in wrong direction.
So, Trump should grow some balls and arrest not just her but Barack Obama as well on the
same charges, as war criminals as they are, and prove that he really deserves to be
trusted.
And sacrifice himself in the process if needed as that would do any honest true US president,
and he knew what to expect from such position from the start.
It's not TV reality show, as still it is.
All he cares about is his ego and popularity, and he is loosing both.
Israel lobby finally see that they put their money in the wrong bank.
I intend to believe more that West, namely USA and UK the most, keeps them more hostage in
uncertainty for decades than in some Jewish conspiracy. Also, I also believe that only Russia can guaranty Israel security and peace in the
region.
In political terms, Trump knows where political power lies, and is counting on the
influence of the pro-Israel lobby, which recognizes the defeat in Syria and the rising
influence of Russia, to save him from the liberal imperialists – a daring bet, but he
does not have much choice.
Saudi Arabia spent 40 billion dollars helping Saddam's Iraq in its war against Iran, the
cost of US efforts in the Syria civil war have largely been met by the Saudis. The coming
attack on Iran will be as much to please the Saudis as to lock Israel into West Bank Arab
expulsion mode. The Israel Lobby will is not pushing Donald Trump, they are playing catch up
with him. Trump has already shown with the Jerusalem recognition that he is encouraging
Israel in unilateral courses of action.
@TG
No, I agree with the assessment in this article and its title: the establishment is
dangerously detached from reality right now. Our stagnant and locked-down political culture
in the West allowed the "elite" to develop a false sense of security and and certainty. They
thought they had things pretty much figured out a few years ago but now they're genuinely
panicked.
Looking to this circus from Russia, to those insane speaches, insulting caricatures in MSM, I
understand the huge amount of rotteness of Western society, mainly its high top part, but not
only. Even here in comments (not in this particularly article) the percentage of trolls and
brainwashed idiots exceeds all I could've imagined. So I stopped writing here – no
sense, I beleive that something can change only after the dramatic changes in US/West society
and that is possible only after a big war/revolution.
So, I'm afraid our future is vague
That is another surefire sign of degeneracy: when a regime can only produce incompetent,
often old, leaders who are completely out of touch with reality and who blame their own
failures on [everyone but themselves].
Another sign of degeneracy is that masses of people put their faith in such human garbage
and fantasize that the essentially effortless task of casting ballots every few years will
somehow, perhaps magically, improve their situations. Even more telling is the infantilism
demonstrated by the attitude that they're special and "da gweatist" and that the world should
cater to their every whim just like mommy and daddy did.
Unlike the Titanic, most collapsed regimes don't fully sink. They remain about half
under water, and half above, possibly with an orchestra still playing joyful music. And in
the most expensive top deck cabins, a pretty luxurious lifestyle can be maintained by the
elites.
A clever metaphor.
incompetent, often old, leaders who are completely out of touch with reality and who
blame their own failures on internal ("deplorables") and external ("the Russians")
factors.
Just so.
Dmitry Orlov's assessment rings dead true to me. The most terrifying factor is that a
doomed and demented US administration may resort to the use of its vast air and missile power
to save itself.
"... Some years ago, I noticed the American media and politicians were sort of going soft (actually mushy) in the brain department, but I was told not to be so judgemental.

Some years ago, I noticed the American media and politicians were sort of going soft
(actually mushy) in the brain department, but I was told not to be so judgemental. As the

One could argue that they are not going mad, that they know full well they are lying, but
I beg to differ: they don't see anymore how ridiculous or how dumb or smart their arguments
are. That would be congruent with a real loss of touch with reality.
One wonders what
they see when they look at themselves in a mirror, a garden variety propagandist or a
fearless anti-Putin crusader?
It is partially tied direct to the economy of the warmongers as trillions of dollars of
new cold war slop is laying on the ground awaiting the MICC hogs. American hegemony is
primarily about stealing the natural resources of helpless countries. Now in control of all
the weak ones, it is time to move to the really big prize: The massive resources of Russia.
They (US and their European Lackeys) thought this was a slam dunk when Yeltsin, in his
drunken stupors, was literally giving Russia to invading capitalist. Enter Putin, stopped the
looting .........connect the dots.
Watching the USA these days is like watching a loved one with progressive dementia. I've reached the stage where I think the
sooner it's over the better for everyone.
I acknowledge what you are saying. However, I have learned that when one is in the midst of a pessimistic scenario, one tends
to develop tunnel vision and assume that the future will be like the present, only worse. Though I despise psychology as a science,
this is a very psychological phenomenon. Granting what you say about Trump and the false optimism he generated, I voted for him
not because I hated Trump less, but that I hated Hillary more.
Nevertheless, notwithstanding, in spite of all this, I do have a certain optimism about the American people, as a rayon de
lumière in a gloomy prospect.
keep the blinders on, even better yet wear the virtual reality goggles of MAGA while the country is living off a never ending
fraud.
Every part of the us government is a fraud, the money is a fraud, wall street is a fraud, 99% of the food you eat is kosher
fraud and you pension is fraud as the money is not there to allow you to collect your pension yet most people are paying dearly
for their pension and the money goes to either israel or the profiteers of the war machine.
They are toast. The leaks are not going to stop. Once the baby boom generation dies off completely the next generations will
clean up their mess. The baby boom can't see past their own prosperity. But everyone else is ready for reform.
(trying to throw a little optimism into the mix)
Think about it.. when you look at the electoral map by county HRC was thoroughly crushed. Is DJT a SomaSalesMan aka Mega Psyop..
who the fuck knows. The awakening is happen Chinese water torture style.
This is a lot like being a Gold perma Bull. We want to come into the forums every day and write about how hopeless the situation
is (a lot like what I do here everyday).
Just remember this.. Even Mao's wife had to stand trial for crimes against the populace. In 20 years the babyboomers will be
out of the way and we can get onto bigger and better things.
the biggest problems come from the millennial who grew up with bullshit, baby boomers lived threw a lot of american bullshit
and they are the ones like PCR are warning the youngs that america's days are numbered . even Deagel.com predict that the us population
in 2025 will dwindle from 325 million to only 55 millions, where do you think the 275 million will go? nuclear war will take care
of them.
the corruption is so great that every single new weapon does not work and all these weapons are built at a great cost. The
bulk of the left activists are millennials , the same with the super left, yet on the right the millennials are busy filing their
nails, surfing and buying bitcoin for a quick profit.
I am Canadian, I am an outsider and see clearly as I am not part of the system, I see a country where the leaders convinced
the population that they are exceptional but the people took it as a compliment, it was meant to fool them into a sense of being
above the rest of the world, yet most americans do not know the capital of florida, california, mississippi, alabama yet they
are in their own country.
This exceptionalism is preventing them from understanding the danger they are in.
For the first time I see a consensus on zerohedge that PCR is 100% right and the posters are worried what will become of america
if israel is left with a huge hold on all us presidents and on the political infrastructure of the us and they agree with PCR
on the list of propaganda the us have been telling the citizens to keep them distracted from knowing that their days are numbered
when the Russians might attack thinking america wants to annihilate them.
We are in the late stages of Pax Judaica. They, through their money magic,usury,fiat printing,and the bought/paid for/bribed/blackmailed
sycophants,rule almost the whole world.The West entirely.
They have push so much,on all aspects of the society,that the recoil is going to be devastating.We started seeing this with
the Jerusalem f*ck up.
US can not be saved at this point. It is at the Event Horizon already. I don't know what will be left of it: a few 4th world
small countries ,where warlords kill each other? Americans love violence.
I absolutely sure IS...RA...EL is NOT going to survive. Neither Saudi Barbaria. Especially after this last blunder.
Will they go into the dustbin of history gracefully,without destroying the whole world in the process?
I don't think so,they are psychopaths.They do not like to lose or to be exposed for what they really are.
PCR makes a valid point. The Russians are patient ,balanced, intelligent people,but if they sense they are dealing with irrational
ones ,they will not take a chance. The Russians have already said that US is not agreement capable, a great insult in their view.
In America everybody has their labels (businessman, Libertarian, Democrat, Republican) so they can all fight with each other
better. The country is so Balkanized that cannot function as a whole any more. I guess that was the plan all along.
Peace and truth are not welcome at the Whitehouse which should be painted BLOOD RED. Politicians are a greedy bloodthirsty
criminals, That includes Trump. If you want to save the world from WW3 which we are watching incubate. ALL current crop of politicians
have to be thrown out of government. YOU NEED A BLOODY REVOLUTION and throw these criminals into maximum security with the killers
and molestors to do as they wish with them.
Without public revolt we'll just keep seeing, hearing and swallowing fake news after fake news brain wash and send our children
to kill the innocent in WAR after WAR.
Don't forget the biggest lie. Even bigger than 9/11. That in the mid 2000s millions of deadbeats all decided to buy houses
that they could not afford. What a joke of a country. Land of the fee. Home of the Slave.
"What Mueller is doing is so corrupt that he really should be arrested and renditioned to Egypt." Best line of the whole piece.
Love it. We are not, however, "Walking Into Armageddon" Rather, we are "Slouching into the Apocolypse"
Trump handing Jerusalem to israel is just the first step in setting up the rise of Israel and the fall of America. It is a
symbolic transfer of power. All is left is world war 3 and the financial system collapse.
PCR is way off this time. Flynn is acting as bait, and the swamp critters went for it. Trump and Bannon are playing the ol'
rope-a-dope rather well. After the Dems and Deep Staters wear themselves out throwing all of these ineffective punches they will
take them out.
You might be on to something...as the Dems and Deep State reveal themselves for what they really are, it makes it easier for
Trump to go in for the kill....! They are getting more and more careless and their corruption and stupidity revealed more and
more each day. I hope Trump be able to pave the way to cleaning up America and getting it back on its feet....we will see...!
"THE" controllers of the puppet politicans, bankers and world leaders "WANT YOU TO LIVE IN FEAR." All the reasons stated by
PCR are valid but not one of them is a reason to go out and get drunk tomorrow. Either you believe in your own fate and the actions
which control the fate which you harvest "OR YOU DON'T."
Why would I worry about things I have zero control over, especially when I "KNOW" "THEY" live off of that fear? I will live
every moment of my life in the joy and happiness which is this blessing to be alive "AND" will live in fear of no one. If you
live your life this way they lose and you get to appreciate a gift which is greater then any material object on the planet.
The worse which they can do when you decide to refuse to live in fear of "THEM" is to take your life which they have no power
to do either.. Put up your middle finger to all of them, smile and move on and enjoy what time you have here to make it the best
you can do.
Choose not to live in fear of them..
We all fear death and question our place in the universe. The artist's job is not to succumb to despair, but to find an antidote
for the emptiness of existence. ... Ernest Hemingway
Two interesting pieces of news out of moonofalabama.org
First b says the real buyer of the fake $450M fake DaVinci is MbS, the KSA crown prince. Second, MbS just fired his Zino-friendly,
Jared-friendly foreign minister.
The rumors early on were that Flynn knew who all the pedophiles were in Washington, wanted to go after them "AND" would not
back down. Trump's VP was included on that list and played a part in the decision to move him out of the public eye and into the
position he currently occupies behind the scenes.
Interestingly enough it was supposedly this stupid explanation of him not telling Pence about his meeting with the Russian
Ambassador which was the excuse as to why he had to be removed. On face value, think about how ridiculous this is. A decorated
General who answers to the President withheld information on a meeting which is fairly typical military procedure.
"IT'S CALLED THE NEED TO KNOW." HELLO....
Trump could have simply stated that Flynn was not under orders from Pence and was acting under a protocol common to members
within the Military but not common to politicians. If Pence wanted to know anything about what people within my Administration
are doing he is always welcome to discuss it with me. PERIOD...
THE ENTIRE EXCUSE IS TOTAL BS AND THE WEAKNESS OF THAT EXCUSE GIVES ME SUSPICION TO BELIEVE THAT THE ORIGIONAL RUMORS WERE
ACCURATE.
The Fascist Tom Cotton with his hair on fire leading the charge. Metaphorically leading the charge to our own destruction.
He would never get himself involved in any genuine battle charge. Russia is not my enemy or adversary.
Has Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran, Russia, China, North Korea ever done any physical harm to the USA ? No ... How about the reverse
? Mmm, it appears the only ones that have attacked the USA are Saudi Arabia and Israel. But America does not attack them, instead
it only attacks the countries that have never attacked the USA.
Is that wierd or what ?, it's almost as if there is another agenda at play.
You mean the Islam that allows grandads to marry and abuse 10 year olds. Husbands to beat up their wives, hang gay teenage
boys off cranes in public squares. Whip 12 year old girls in public for wearing western tight jeans ( underneath their hijab may
I add). Satan would approve of this sadistic protocol.
it's amazing to see so much naivety here. People seems to believe that America/Russia are bad/good. But people it's not just
imperialism anymore it's globalism. Therefore it's not about interests of countries but rather the ones of oligarchs. And oligarchs
interests are international, so why would they be interested in Armageddon? Earth belong to them, why would they want to damage
their wealth so much? i think we'll see busyness as usual - small wars, removing obstacles for transnationals, concentration of
wealth and power and social engineering on global scale.
Naive, ha ha! Take a look at Libya, the War Crimes & Genocide, overseen by the US & Vassals and talk about Good/Bad, NO SON,
we're talking Class A EVIL here, and in the other Regime Change Neocon Playbook. How many Foreign Bases/Entanglements are Russia
involved in, outside of Russia? In their Only ME base/port in Syria the US tried to fuck them over. Now Russia has half a dozen
strategic Bases ( including a meeting of minds with Egypt, Qatar, Libya, Turkey, Sudan ) to eliminate DAESH/al-CIAd'uh (US Constructs).
Lastly, Only through Threat and Intimidation can the US keep these Vassals on board. Have you not noticed how the Geopolitical
Landmark is changing with Sovereigns flocking far and wide to Moscow, for an ALTERNATIVE to the Vassal Prisoner Status offered
up by Vichy DC.
Naive Son? Z/Hedgers will call out Russia if they deviate from the Path of Righteousness.
No Russia didn't displace, maim, murder, tens of millions of citizens in the ME, VICHY DC did.
I read somewhere that the Ukrainian Army has changed its rule book to allow soldiers to wear beards. The inference from this
is that those ISIS members rescued by the Americans are being shipped to Ukraine to fight with the Nazis against those in the
East who object to Kiev's desire to genocide ethnic Russians. It would appear that, not content with arming Nazis and putting
them in Ukraine's Government, the US is now putting an armed ISIS into Eastern Europe. Does anybody have more detail?
Airlifting them from Der el Zor ( and inevitable destruction at the hands of Syrian/Hezbollah Bravehearts ) onto the demarcation
line in the Donbass? Good luck with that Chestnut! What are the Jihadi's wearing, 3 SETS OF THERMALS? Let's put it this way, no
matter how many Jihadi proxy scum/Advisers they airlift into Donbass there will be 10 times more FOREIGN FREEDOM-FIGHTERS (ok
mainly Russian, but from Everywhere ) ready to join that gig, me included.
How convenient that Trump gets to play the Good Guy, supposedly fingers tied at every turn by Deep State, preventing him from
reaching out.
There's not a shred of evidence that he's intervened to mend relations with Russia and if there is can someone shed light on
this?
First up he has a filthy Neocon POS in Nikki Haley in the UN, the Only one on the Security Council who's a War Hawk (including
the Palestinian fiasco ).
Did he intervene in the ILLEGAL eviction of Russian Diplomatic Quarters? Has he worked diligently with China & Russia to resolve
DPRK or contributed to the Neocon war-drum beat with more bluster? Has he increased or defused tension in the ME by withdrawing
US Troops or has he added to Obama's clandestine proxy jihadi recruitment programme by sending moar ADVISERS?
They say Tillerson's on his way out, to be replaced by a Neocon war-hawk in Mike Pompeo who's current charge of al-CIAd'uh
covert operations is a continuation of the Obama failings.
Unlike Obama ( one of his few credits in 8 years ) Trump's Encouraging Netanyahu's Deviancy?
I've read over at the Saker/Other that behind the scenes Vichy DC could step up the supply of WMD's/Advisers to Kiev.
The US Coalition Forces in Syria (minus the US, lol), like their Iraqi counterparts (the Kurds in the main ) are at least talking
with Russia/Government to thwart, long-term US Military Bases on Syrian soil. Obviously the US is unhappy about this with their
Partition ambitions.
Pope John Paul II, Gorbachev, and Reagan, together, ended the Cold War. HW Bush is the architect on how the USA kept its military
industrial complex intact. The USA no longer had an existential threat, and no longer a reason to maintain a multiple tens of
billions annual defense budget. So HW Bush picked an enemy and started a global war, that continues to this day. The British military
map makers, redrew much of the middle east, after WWI.
The state of Israel was already in the works, long before the story of the holocaust, some 20 years later. Anyway, Sadaam Hussein,
leader of Iraq, and US ally, spoke to the Bush administration about Kuwait; and taking back for Iraq, what Sadaam believed the
British map makers took away in 1917. Saddam was fooled, and the Bush administration had a reason to keep the military industrial
complex intact. The globalism/new world order, that US and EU government officials speak of, is simply another way of saying that
no one has any civil liberties and everyone is being monitored.
This dangerous game was effective and working for quite a while. A great deal of wealth and power transferred to a select few.
The strategy went sideways when Mr Putin said enough is enough, in roughly 2011.
Now, freedom fighters have joined Mr Putin, such as Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, Barrett Brown, Manning, Glenn Greenwald,
Sarah Carter,and many other, to restore freedom and honor back to the people of the world by shining light on all of the corruption.
It will take Trump and Sessions some time to restore trust and to root out the corruption.
The bottom line is that there are good people out there, who will never let this criminal behavior and corruption to be hidden
from the unwashed masses.
America is just looking for an excuse to send their young kids to war to get shot to pieces and get mentally fucked up so the
drug industry can profit, the war industry can profit, the banks can profit...

Apparently, the code words like "pizza", "cheese", "hotdog", "pasta", etc. are
from an FBI list of code words commonly used by pedophiles. These words appear
in the Podesta emails. They're not just found in the Podesta emails.
On page 20, it says that the strongest indicator of a pedophile is a person
who collects child pornography. John Podesta's brother collected sexually
bizarre and sadistic photos of young children.

Good point, Pucker. All the pro-Podesta apologists can't explain away the
code language. Especially, disturbing are remarks (I think by owner James
Alefantis) about 4 sick pizzas left over from the last session on sale for
$1000. Be sure and dispose of them properly."
Then there's Laura Silsby
rescued from a Haitian jail by the Clintons after being caught trafficking
in children for prostitution.
Either JHK can't believe that such blatant evil exists in the world or

Most intellectuals hate Conspiracies for two reasons: one good and one
bad. On the good side, there is just too much lunacy and crackpottery
once conjecture and Freud's "primary process" (fantasy) get going. On
the bad side, they hate not having full information or at least a
partial store of consensus information from which to analyze. But Life
is Conspiracy – and sometimes we have to go with what we have. In this
regards, detectives are superior to intellectuals: they do it all the
time. Ditto scientists. It's the inductive process. Once you get
enough you form a hypothesis. Then you test it. That's all we're
asking for in regards to this case. And I think we both agree: what
they would find would bring down the System.
And there are two reasons these people can get away with it: one
because of the number of the Elite who are involved. And second
because people think a priori that it's not possible that such evil
exists or that they could get away with it. Because people think it
can't exist and they couldn't get away it enables them to get away
with it.

The utilization of "Conspiracy theorist" came about after the
common man on the street started waking up to the fact that he was
being screwed by those in power and lied to consistently. Did you
know that during World War II, President Roosevelt, was onboard the
battleship USS Iowa in route to North Africa when it was
"accidently torpedoed" (the fish detonated in the ship's wake and
did not actually impact the ship) by the US destroyer, the William
D. Porter? Well it's the first I am hearing of it so I guess that
these people are pretty good at keeping things quiet when they go
wrong, especially REALLY wrong
I am reading the trilogy of the war by Rick Atkinson, and in the
second book in the series, The Day of Battle, the revelation was
detailed much to my surprise. If our own people can accidently fire
a live torpedo at one of our own battleships, especially the one
that happens to be transporting the standing President of the
United States on it at the time, well there is no telling what
supreme act of incompetence they will pull of next.
Those who rule lie their asses off every damned day and cover up
every damned screw up they create until enough time goes by so that
those that are now in the general public don't give a damn anymore.
You would have to be retarded or on their payroll to believe
otherwise.
Catastrophic mistake. Proof of sexual misconduct accumulated by the deep state makes it possible to dictate the votes &c. of
Congress, decisions of judges and administrators, &c.
Without a one-time blanket amnesty - however morally revolting - deep state control of government will endure. If you want
to end its control of the ship of state, you must remove its nuclear option : blackmail (threat of exposure/prosecution/bankruptcy/family
impoverishment/dying in prison).
the whole Military Intelligence is rife with pedophilia and sodomy – I can't imagine how Flynn avoided it – the whole top ranking
guys are involved – watch video interview of Kay Griggs –
Good point, but there are many types of amnesty. The first is the amnesty of tolerance, consenting adult sex mutual or professional,
no matter how distasteful or strange, whether adulterous or not, should be considered private and off the table, but never kiddy-fiddling
(actual rather than fictitious, in the real that is). Publication of tolerated sexual matters should be slammed, tolerance does
not mean condoning, tolerance is what it says tolerating what is not condoned.
That is an amnesty that every civilised nation follows I can't see why the US should not adopt it as it use to be the case.
In Australia we tolerate a lot of things, ex prime minister Bob Hawke was a notorious womaniser a faithless husband, and his antics
were a national laugh.
I also agree blackmail is one of the main weapons and sexuality is one of its mainstays. Its an puritanical extension of identity
politics, I believe toleration is the amnesty. I think your logic and argument is correct.
Look at the other way, a corrupt person, rips off this person and that, they are a public menace. A corrupt judge that cheats
on taxes, runs fictions companies, uses legal fictions to launder wealth is defrauding the public as a whole - it is a worse crime.
By extension accepting bribes, favours, preferential treatment, corporate support is to provide inequality before the law, negate
the whole purpose of the judiciary and again is a worse crime than tax fraud - it is at best a serious conflict of interest (serious
enough for removal), but is usually the accepted method of tilting the judicial system which is, with evidence, criminal. and
all the evidence has to be is that judge has accepted favours and their judgements demonstrate his gratitude to the social network
that provided the favour.
Against this a man whose marriage is happy, but sexually disaster, visits prostitutes or keeps a mistress, or has fathered
a child, is as is nothing - if only it was tolerated whilst terrible crimes are tolerated instead. Flint's water poisoning is
not a scandal it is a criminal conspiracy that stemmed from a criminal neglect. Banks that seize homes that they purposefully
overvalued and over-lent of which we have a mountain of documents to show this was done purposefully - the banks are the ones
that should suffer, not those desperate to own a house and were sent to them, by Real Estate agents and developer.
A sea change in attitude, on really simple stuff, has a disproportional effect. And today that is actually easier to achieve
than ever before. My advice is to go to the local churches and argue that their fixation on sex is producing untold evils in the
world and their moral righteousness is being misdirected. A direct confrontation on theological grounds etc.,
Sorry for the rant your point has been taken on board well and truly.
The first is the amnesty of tolerance, consenting adult sex mutual or professional, no matter how distasteful or strange, whether
adulterous or not, should be considered private and off the table, but never kiddy-fiddling (actual rather than fictitious, in
the real that is).
@Greg -
No rant at all. IMO this is the real elephant in the political livingroom. People are coming to understand who the orcs are,
how they operate and what their objective is. They can be mentioned now without everything melting down in a storm of terror.
But that they have the whole US government, industry and military (pardon the expression) "by the balls" is not known so well.
Nor is it appreciated that no necessary change can be expected to gain political traction so long as this iron control continues.
The trial balloon figure of 30% compromised is probably a gross underestimate. And we are not talking about marital infidelities
with secretaries or "escorts" but romping with adolescents (both sexes but apparently boys are their favorites - http://educate-yourself.org/tg/franklincoverupexcerptwashtimesphoto.shtml
Franklin/Boys Town scandal, Sandusky/Penn State, pizzagate, et al.)
This may not be the place for it but, if not, where ? The "Age of Consent" to sexual relations in the early US varied, but
was often put at 9 years of age (this when puberty occurred around age 17-18). I see this as no evidence of moral turpitude, but
of hard-nosed realism. It was human nature (as you have the moral decency to note) that people were going to get up to stuff like
that, and there was no need to make bigger issue of it than it was. If it stirred popular outrage, the perpetrator could expect
to be lynched or, where I grew up, shot "in a tragic accident" during hunting season when he was in the woods. People took care
of their own problems. And gravely mistrusted the judicial system where the ability of wealth and connections (business relationships
and funny handshakes) all but guaranteed impunity.
We now take it for granted (see Goebbels on the power of simple repetition to create "public opinion") that sex between an
adolescent and an adult is the single worst moral outrage imaginable. In reality (I came to understand it inside the criminal
justice system during 20+ years of working in it), making this a criminal offense, with the age of consent raised to 18 (completely
ridiculous with puberty now happening in elementary school and given the "sexualization" of children by the orc media) was a strategic
coup by the prison-industrial complex. By legally re-defining this as RAPE (!) and the perpetrator as a RAPIST (!) - well, repeat
this often enough in court with an adolescent well coached by the childrens' services caseworker to see herself as a VICTIM who
was GROOMED by him (when the actual dynamics of the situation were often the other way around), and a conviction was a prosecutor's
easiest victory in an average month. Not to mention that the threat of sentence piling (pioneered during the Nixon years - prosecuting
the same offense as as many separate crimes as possible, with sentences running consecutively) all but guaranteed "plea bargains"
without even the expense or inconvenience of a trial.
Prisons love(d) this, as (except for homosexual pederasts) "sex offenders" ( almost 100% White for some strange reason
) are the most easily managed demographic of all. If a state prison (or private one) could house 2,500 of them, it could operate
with a staff of, probably,10 guards per 8-hour shift.
Now, with the MSM and academia having turned sex with adolescents into the new "forbidden fruit," the appeal of it to the idle
imaginations of the susceptible is multiplied. The whole thing stinks to high heaven of rank hypocrisy, human exploitation and
lives ruined by a system that exploits human frailties as profit & control opportunities.
Now I am ranting, so will stop here. Noting that there is a LOT more that needs to be said on this.
In 2006, the DHS's Department of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) ran an
internationally cooperative investigation
into the purchase of subscriptions of child
pornography online. Code-named Project Flicker, the investigation uncovered the identities of
30,000 child porn subscribers in 132 different nations. Some 250 of these identities belonged to
civilian and military employees of the U.S. Defense Department, who gave their real names and
purchased the porn with government .mil email addresses-some with the highest security clearances
available. In response, the Pentagon's Department of Criminal Investigative Services (DCIS)
cross-referenced ICE's list with current employment roles and began a series of prosecutions.
A
DCIS report
from July 2010 shows that 30 of these individuals were investigated, despite
uncovering a new total of
264 Defense employees
and contractors who had purchased child pornography online. 13 had Top
Secret security clearance. 8 had NATO Secret security clearance. 42 had Secret security
clearance. 4 had Interim Secret security clearance. A total of 76 individuals had Secret security
clearance or higher.
Yet, the investigations were halted entirely after only some 50 total names were investigated
at all, and
just 10 were prosecuted
.
A full 212
of the individuals on ICE's list were never even given the most cursory
investigation at all. (Note: The number 5200 keeps popping up in sources covering this-for
instance,
see here
-and I'm not sure what that number is for: American subscribers? Pentagon email
addresses that weren't confirmed to have actually been used by Pentagon employees, but still may
have been? I'll leave it to anyone interested enough to pursue these individual leads to see if
they can figure that out and get back to us.)
In 2011, the story resurfaced when
Anderson Cooper covered it
with (again) Senator Chuck Grassley on CNN. After this, the story
appears to have sunk straight back down into the memory hole yet again. Neither Anderson Cooper
nor CNN appear to have given a follow–up in the five years since the story of the failed
investigation first aired-why not? And why wasn't the first airing enough to lead to mass outrage
and calls for action anyway? See
here
for another summary of the squashed investigation from 2014.

Beginning in 1997, in an English town of more than 100,000 people, eight Pakistani men stood at
the core of a group involving as many as three hundred suspects who abused, gang-raped, pimped and
trafficked, by the most conservative estimate, well over a thousand of the town's young girls for
years.
The police were eventually accused of not just turning a blind eye, but of
participating in the abuse - even supplying the Pakistani gangs with drugs and tipping them off
when they heard of colleagues searching for children they knew to be in the gangs' possession.
Others were afraid of investigating the gangs or calling attention to their behavior because it
would have been politically incorrect to accuse the town's ethnic community of such a rampant and
heinous crime - in the words of one English writer, "
Fears of appearing racist trumped fears of more children being abused ."
But when this story first broke, guess where it appeared?
Here's how a blogger writing under the name Mehrdad Amanpour tells the story of how the story first started reaching people:
Some years ago, a friend sent me a shocking article. It said hundreds of British girls were
being systematically gang-raped by Muslim gangs. It claimed this was being covered-up.
I've never had time for conspiracy theories, especially when they look as hateful as those
in the article. So I checked the links and sources in the piece. I found an American racist-far-right
website and from there, saw the original source was a similarly unpleasant website in the UK.
I did a brief search for corroboration from reputable mainstream sources. I found none. So
I wrote a curt reply to my friend: "I'd appreciate it if you didn't send me made-up crap from
neo–Nazi websites."
Some months later, I read the seminal exposé of the (mainly) ethnic-Pakistani grooming gang
phenomenon by Andrew Norfolk in The Sunday Times .
I was stunned and horrified - not just that these vile crimes were indeed happening and endemic,
but that they really were being ignored and "covered-up" by public authorities and the mainstream
media.
The
Rotherham child sexual exploitation scandal first "broke" in the far-right blogosphere. The accusation
they made was that these gangs were being allowed to operate undisturbed because everyone was too
afraid of "appearing racist" to properly investigate them . . . and nobody listened to the far-right
bloggers who were breaking this story because they were afraid of "appearing racist" if they gave
any credibility to those far-right sources, too. Never mind that it seemed paranoid to rely on
bloggers to report truths like these when the allegations were so wide-reaching, involving
a literal conspiracy within the police force.
And yet, years after no one was willing to take them seriously, the far-right blogosphere
turned out to be right.
Well over a thousand (mostly) white young girls were being abused by (mostly) Pakistani
gangs.
And the authorities were covering it up.
We are now, once again, in the stage of an evolving scandal that Mehrdad Amanpour described his
experience with above. Just to be clear, I'm not going to commit myself to the idea that this is
going to be as huge as Rotherham was. We should be careful: we don't know what would or wouldn't
be confirmed with a proper investigation. The question here is not whether we've gotten to the bottom
of this online. The question is whether there is enough here to justify thinking there should be
a proper investigation.
And the parallel with Rotherham is that the relatively small number of people asking for that
are mostly the loathsome kinds of people who run "racist far-right websites." So, since the claims
are inherently conspiratorial, and the mainstream doesn't want to be associated with those people
who are talking about it, it is once again all too easy to just dismiss the claims out of hand
as paranoia run wild.
Again, the evolution of the Rotherham child sexual exploitation scandal was an extremely
painful lesson that the mainstream can be wrong and the "paranoid racist far-right"
can be right. And that lesson was far too expensive to simply let go to waste.
The name of this scandal is Pizzagate.
It gets the name for two reasons: first, because at the center of the scandal are high-level Washington
insiders who own a handful of businesses in the DC area, including a couple pizzerias (Comet Ping
Pong and Besta Pizza), who have fallen under suspicion for involvement in a child sex abuse ring.
Second, because the first questions arose in peoples' minds as a result of some very bizarre emails
revealed by Wikileaks in The
Podesta Emails that, quite simply, just sound strange (and usually involve weird
references to pizza). One of the strangest emails involves Joe Podesta being asked this question:
"The realtor found a handkerchief (I think it has a map that seems pizza-related). Is it yours?"
The evidence is of wildly varying levels of quality, ranging from the pareidolia of "Jesus
is appearing to me in my toast" to "wait, that's actually pretty damn creepy." The mountain of claims
and observations and speculations being compiled in places like
Voat and
Steemit are too overwhelming
for any one person to hope to wade through sorting wheat from chaff, and while I don't intend to
try, I will summarize some just a little bit of it here.
While many of these claims are wild speculation over coincidences (though by no means all
of them are), at some point I think a bunch of weird coincidences involving pedophilia and kids becomes
sort of damning in and of itself. In
one email , Podesta
is among those being invited to a farm and the host says, "Bonnie will be Uber Service to transport
Ruby, Emerson, and Maeve Luzzatto (11, 9, and almost 7) so you'll have some further entertainment,
and they will be in [the] pool for sure ."
Could that have an innocent explanation? Sure, maybe. But inviting a group of adult men to
a gathering and calling young children "further entertainment" while listing their ages is
weird , whether it ends up having an explanation or not.
If I was getting messages that listed the ages of young children that would be in a pool
And it turned out that the logo for my business contained a symbol strikingly close to
the "little boy lover" logo used by pedophiles to signify that their interest is in young boys rather
than girls . . .
And the bands that showed up at my restaurant had albums called All the Children
with images on the cover
of a child putting phallic-shaped objects into his mouth . . .
. . . and were found making creepy jokes about pedophilia (in reference to Jared Fogle: "
we all have our preferences
. . . ") . . . and there were instagram photos coming out of kids ("jokingly?") taped
to the tables in my restaurant . . .
. . . frankly, I would start asking questions about myself.
Here are just a few of the more "institutional" coincidences involved in the story: one of
the men on the small list of people found "liking" photos like this one on these individuals' Instagram
accounts is
Arun Rao , the U.S. Attorney Chief, charged with prosecuting cases of child pornography.
Besta Pizza, the business whose logo so closely resembled the "little boy lover" logo, is
owned by
Andrew Kline , who was one of four attorneys in the Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit of the
Department of Justice. Isn't it just a little unusual that someone that high up in a human
trafficking division would fail to notice the symbolism?
For yet another coincidence,
Lauren Silsby-Gayler is the former director of The New Life Children's Refuge in Haiti. It is
a matter of public record that she was caught, prosecuted, and sent to jail while in that role for
trying to abduct dozens of children, most of whom had homes and families. The
main lawyer paid
to represent Silsby-Gayler, "President of the Sephardic Jewish community in the Dominican Republic,"
was himself suspected of involvement in human trafficking.
When the Clintons gained influence in the region, one of their first acts was to work to
get Silsby-Gayler
off the hook . Among the Podesta Wikileaks are
State Department emails
discussing their case. Meanwhile, she now works on the executive board of
AlertSense . . .
which collaborates with IPAWS to send out nation-wide Amber Alerts.
While some of the supposed "codewords" people have claimed to have identified in Pizzagate appear
to be made up, there is at least one unambiguous instance: here is an Instagrammed photo posted by
James Alefantis, the owner of Comet Ping Pong that appears innocent enough: a man carrying a young
child with a beaded necklace draped around both of their necks.
The disturbing bit is that the photo uses the tag "#chickenlovers," and "chicken lover" is
in fact an established term to refer to a pedophile - someone who loves "chicken," which
is also unambiguously an established term to refer to underage children (you can see this in the
gay slang dictionary subset of the
Online Dictionary
of Playground Slang ).
Complain all you want about the "speculative" and "paranoid" online discussions of Pizzagate,
but when you have clearer-cut cases like this one where James Alefantis absolutely, unquestionably
did in fact post a photo of a man holding an infant and the one and only hashtag he used for the
photo involved a term that unquestionably is a reference to pedophilia, in a context where it is
clear that there is nothing else here that "chicken" could possibly have been referring to, the likelihood
that more speculative claims might have truth to them is increased.
There is a 1994 documentary expose on NAMBLA (the North American Man/Boy Love Association) called
Chicken
Hawk .
Here is yet another reference from a watchdog group from 2006, proving that this one existed
well before Pizzagate surfaced. Another confirmed fact dug up by the paranoid right-wing conspiracy
nuts on the Internet?
So here are a few more things we do know. We know that Bill Clinton has taken dozens
of international flights on a plane colloquially known as the "
Lolita Express " with Jeffrey Epstein, a man who spent 13 months in jail after being convicted
of soliciting a 13-year-old
prostitute . We know that Hillary Clinton's staff knew that
Anthony Weiner was sexting underage girls all the way back in 2011 - and covered it up. Guess
whose laptop revealed evidence that Hillary Clinton went on flights on Jeffrey Epstein's "
Lolita Express " along with Bill? That's right: Anthony Weiner's.
Now do you understand why the mainstream media was so eager to spin these emails as just a "distraction"
during the election?
The staff that ignored Weiner's sexting of young children included John Podesta himself, whose
brother Tony is one of the very men at the center of Pizzagate. Tony Podesta has rather warped tastes
in art. For instance, he owns a bronze statue of a decapitated man in a contorted position identical
to a well-known photograph of one of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer's victims:
(See
here for the disturbing photo of the real victim.)
The same news story that features the image above also mentions the fact that John Podesta's
bedroom contains multiple images from a photographer "known for documentary-style pictures
of naked teenagers in their parents' suburban homes.")
Furthermore, Tony Podesta's favorite artist is Biljana Djurdjevic, whose art heavily
features images of children in BDSM-esque positions in large showers. Here's one with a row of young
girls in a shower with their hands behind their backs in a position that suggests bondage:
Here's one with a young boy in a shower tied up in the air with his hands over his head:
In addition to Jeffrey Epstein, the Podesta brothers are also friends with convicted sex offender
Clement Freud as well as convicted serial child molester
Dennis Hastert .
We do know that the New York Times , which is now dismissing Pizzagate in its
entirety as a hoax, is run by Mark Thompson - who was credibly accused a few years back of lying
to help cover up a scandal involving another high-profile public figure involved in child sex abuse,
Jimmy Savile
, during his time as
head of the BBC .
And we do know that this has happened before.
Lawrence King , the
leader of the Black Republican Caucus, who sang the national anthem at the Republican convention
in 1984, was accused by multiple claimed victims of trafficking and abusing boys out of the Boys
Town charity for years. You can
hear the chilling testimony
from three people who claim to have been victimized by King in a documentary produced shortly
after the events transpired.
You can hear the FBI, even after they received extensive testimony from victims, explain in their
own words that they weren't going to prosecute King because if anything were wrong with him, he would
have been prosecuted by a lower authority already. Eventually, King was found "O. J. guilty" of abusing
Paul Bonacci - convicted in civil court, acquitted in criminal court.
But that's not the question here. The question is how we should respond to the possibility.
Do we take the possibility seriously? History clearly indicates that we should. Even if it did
turn out to be nothing at all, I would still be more proud to belong to a community willing
to take the possibility seriously and call for investigation than I would to belong to a community
that dismissed the possibility far too hastily and luckily turned out to be right - even as it did
this and turned out to be wrong in so many cases like Rotherham before.
The real horror here would be to live in a society that responded as Reddit has - by shutting
down the whole conversation entirely, banning
r/pizzagate even while keeping subreddits like r/pedofriends, "a place for (non-offending) pedophiles
and allies to make friends with each other!" alive.
Over on his blog,
Scott Adams
asks us to keep in mind cases where confirmation bias did lead to false allegations of institutional
pedophilia, to caution against excessive confidence. (He hastens to add: "I want to be totally clear
here that I'm not saying Pizzagate is false. I see the mountain of evidence too. And collectively
it feels totally persuasive to me. It might even be true. I'm not debating the underlying truth of
it. That part I don't know.")
But which is worse? If all the evidence coming out of Pizzagate is entirely
false, what have we lost by spending time on it? On the other hand, if even five percent of the allegations
that have been made surrounding the topic are true, what have we lost by ignoring them? Which is
worse: spending too much time pursuing and thoroughly vetting false leads, or looking the other way
while any amount of child abuse goes on?
According to the FBI's National Crime Information
Center (NCIC) database, nearly 470,000 children disappear in the United States alone each year.
This number is dubious for a number of reasons. It
looks like some number of runaways
end up in the NCIC count, and to make matters worse, repeat offenders can make it into the data multiple
times. So that would suggest that the real number must be lower than this tally; but on the other
hand, we also know that many missing children are never reported in the first place, so it's possible
that that could boost the number back up. The bottom line, however, seems to be that there is no
reliable way to determine how many total children are actually missing in the U.S.
Either way, though, even if correcting for these errors took out 90% of the disappearances in
the NCIC database, and there were no unreported disappearances to account for at all, I think even
the resulting 50,000 per year would still be enough to call the problem systematic and justify suspicion
that these disappearances could well involve organized efforts-given that we already know of so many
pedophile rings in so many powerful institutions.
In 2013, Canada busted a ring involving
more than 300 adults , who had teachers, doctors, and nurses heavily represented among them.
A pedophile ring has just been identified in the
highest levels of UK football (Americans
know the sport as soccer). Norwegian police also just uncovered a ring of 50 organized pedophiles
mostly
working in the tech sector , once again including elected officials, teachers, and lawyers. The
Vatican scandals can practically go without mention - institutional involvement in child sex exploitation
is nearly an a priori given.
And the children that are being raped and murdered in the photos passed around by these
child porn rings are coming from somewhere . And when figures like politicians, teachers,
and lawyers are involved in the rings, it's hardly inconceivable that they could be involved in disappearances.
Have we identified one here?
Only time will tell. But we deserve to be paid attention. We deserve to have the matter taken

Virginia Roberts's accusations about Andrew ordered to be struck from the record as judge denied her attempt to join a lawsuit
against Jeffrey Epstein
Allegations that a 17-year-old was forced to have sex with Britain's
Prince Andrew, which prompted a crisis at Buckingham Palace
earlier this year, have been removed from a federal court case by a judge in the US.
Judge Kenneth Marra ordered Virginia Roberts's accusations about Andrew, the Duke of York, to be struck from the record and denied
her attempt to join a lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein, a friend of the prince and a convicted sex offender.
"At this juncture in the proceedings, these lurid details are unnecessary," Marra wrote in his order, issued at the US district
court in southern Florida on Tuesday morning. "These unnecessary
details shall be stricken."
Andrew and Buckingham Palace vehemently deny Roberts's allegations.
Marra made no ruling or statement about the veracity of Roberts's allegations. He said the "factual details regarding with whom
and where" she had sex were "immaterial and impertinent" to her argument that she should be allowed to join the lawsuit.
However, Marra noted that Roberts may yet appear as a witness when the long-running case finally goes to trial.
Brad Edwards, an attorney for Roberts, said in a statement that her legal team "absolutely respect" the judge's ruling, which
had recognised Roberts's right to take part in the case as a witness. Roberts said: "I'm happy to get to participate in this important
case."
A Buckingham Palace official said the Duke had been informed of the
Florida court's ruling and was spending this week in private,
before resuming his schedule of public engagements next week.
His spokesman declined to comment further but referred back to repeated palace denials of Roberts claims, including a 3 January statement
that "it is emphatically denied that the Duke of York had any form of sexual contact or relationship with Virginia Roberts. Any claim
to the contrary is false and without foundation."
Five court filings in the Florida case, including a document filed on December 30 last year in which Andrew was first accused,
were immediately sealed from the public.
The filing at that time placed Andrew under intense pressure, forcing him to return to his home at Windsor from Verbier in Switzerland
where he was on a skiing holiday with a party including his daughter Princess Beatrice.
The duke only resumed public engagements at the World Economic Forum in Davos in late January where he was pursued by reporters
and used a short speech "to reiterate and to reaffirm" the existing emphatic Buckingham Palace denials of what courtiers described
as "lurid and deeply personal" claims.
Buckingham Palace broke with convention to directly address the sex claims, and Andrew approved a statement which vehemently denied
"any form of sexual contact or relationship with Virginia Roberts". It continued: "The allegations made are false and without any
foundation."
Roberts, who is referred to in the case only as Jane Doe 3, and a fourth woman were seeking to join two other alleged victims
of Epstein in suing the US government over a plea deal that federal prosecutors struck with the hedge fund tycoon in 2008.
Under the plea agreement, Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from an underage girl. He received an 18-month jail
sentence and served 13 months before being released. He remains a registered sex offender in Florida and the US Virgin Islands, where
he lives on a private island.
The agreement was criticised as being extraordinarily lenient by attorneys for a series of women who allege that Epstein sexually
abused them when they were under the age of consent. The FBI, which took over the investigation into Epstein, said it had identified
dozens of potential victims.
Roberts has for years alleged that she travelled around the world with Epstein as his "sex slave" and was made to have sex with
some of his influential associates, including prominent politicians and royalty.
Marra ruled on Tuesday that the application by Roberts and Jane Doe 4 should be denied, as it was "entirely unnecessary" for the
pair to be added as plaintiffs in the lawsuit. The women suing Epstein allege that the government's plea deal violated their rights
as victims.
Describing Roberts's allegations as "duplicative" of the existing lawsuit, the judge said the lawsuit already sought to overturn
Epstein's plea agreement on behalf of all "other similarly-situated victims".
Marra noted in his order that US law empowers judges to "strike from a pleading an insufficient defense or any redundant, immaterial,
impertinent, or scandalous matter."
Allegations that Roberts was also made to have sex with Alan Dershowitz, a Harvard law professor and another friend of Epstein,
were also struck from the case by Marra. The judge said a legal attempt by Dershowitz to intervene in the case was now unnecessary.
In recent weeks the duke has carried out more engagements, including opening the Yorkshire Air Ambulance (YAA) Air Response Unit
prior to Easter and before that leading a "Pitch@Palace" event, a Dragons Den-style scheme to match investors with entrepreneurs
using technology in the creative industries.

July 30, 2003: KAH - The subject of the extremely narrow point of view of most Americans as opposed to the majority of
other peoples in the world came up in a conversation the other day. The people having the conversation were, as it happens, mostly
American. One of them commented that Americans had been "programmed" to their point of view by mass media propaganda for a very
long time and that it was simply a very normal part of American life and basically, always had been. She concluded, "Whoever denies
it is either ignorant or has an agenda."
That may be so. It may be true that the "pied pipers" of denial have an agenda. But what, then, does one say or do about the
ignorance of the vast majority of Americans? Why and how is it that the trap of Fascism is closing on them before their very eyes
and no matter how many voices - the number is increasing every day - are raised to point out this danger, they simply do not seem
to get it?
The conversation continued with a comment from another individual suggesting that one must take into account how effective the
"official culture" actually is in the US. It isn't just a question of ignorance, but a question of the long-term thoroughness of
the propagandizing that began in the early days of the last century. It was proposed that this propaganda is so complete that not
only are most people in the US ignorant of what is taking place on the US political scene, and in the world as a direct result of
US policy, they are ignorant of the fact that they are ignorant. They have been inculcated with the view that their view is the
only "right" one" and, consequently, they really "don't know any better". In short: "What do you do if you don't know that you don't
know something?"
Well, the thing is, at some point in time, no matter how thorough the programming has been, most people will eventually end up
coming across some bit or piece of information that isn't going to quite "jibe" with the "official culture;" it isn't going to "fit"
in with their view of reality, with what they have been taught, and it is usually just a little bit uncomfortable when this happens.
Or it ought to be.
My question is, why is complete denial, even aggressive behavior in some instances, the reaction of some when the objective facts
of reality are pointed out to them, while there are others who react with an increased sense of curiosity, an increased desire for
additional information?
Why do some shun knowledge and others crave it?
Why do some resist the programming, and others welcome it?
It is as though with some people - those who most avidly embrace the "we are right" view - have minds that are closed from the
very get-go, and they are entirely incapable of opening them, even just a crack. There is no curiosity in them. There are no questions
in their minds. There are no "what ifs?" or "maybes".
It seems to me that the propaganda of the Official Culture then, while quite effective, may not be the sole reason why so many
Americans are apathetic when it comes to what their government is doing, both in the US and abroad. It seems as though there may
be some distinct differences in human beings at a very basic level that needs to be considered here.
In my opinion, (KAH), all of us who were raised in the US have been duped via this Official Culture mind control imposed through
the educational system and the mass media. But there are some of us who seem to have the ability to question, to wonder, to open
our minds to other possibilities - even if they seem far-fetched. And invariably, this opening of the mind to other views has been
enriching and rewarding on many levels, not the least of which is a humanitarian view of all peoples and cultures.
Is being able to open your mind and ask questions just a matter of "courage?" Is a closed mind simply evidence of being a coward?
Is resistance to the "official culture" a consequence of a fundamental "rebellious nature" and are those who "go along with the
crowd" better "team players," even if the team is on the moral low-road?
Is the difference one that exists between people who are willing to face the "terror of the situation" and those who simply cannot
live in the state of tension produced by having to make moral decisions themselves?
Or, is there something deeper here? If so, what is it? And whatever it is, why is it so "active" in the present day and time?
What is the "fog" that surrounds America and the minds of its people?
In the past, I have encountered many people who I considered to be open-minded, but ultimately discovered that they are not so
when they absolutely refuse to even admit the possibility of what is so obvious to so many intelligent and compassionate people.
For example, the obvious psychopathy of Bush and other world leaders, certainly reveals to us that the "terror of the situation"
is manifesting on quite a grander scale than any of us might have dreamed possible a few years ago. There it is. Clues and signs
everywhere. It's as plain as the nose on your face. But most Americans would rather cut off that nose with the result that they
spite the face.
It is terrifying enough when one realizes that the Bush Reich and other elite groups around the globe are wreaking havoc on the
planet without regard for life in any form, apart from their own, but when we also have to face the fact that there are so many
people out there, that - even when faced with the certain facts of this global tinder- box - either cannot see it or WILL not see
it, well, that makes this situation just a little bit more terrifying.
Again, we return to the problem: what is WRONG with Americans?
We already know that the "Land of the Free" is gone, but what about the "Home of the Brave?" It never takes courage to support
a bully - but it takes a LOT of courage to stand up against one. Has America lost that courage that gave them the intestinal fortitude
to stand up to the most mighty military power in the world of the time - England - to declare their independence from bullies and
to stand for what was right? What happened to "Give me liberty or give me death?" Because surely America has chosen death in giving
up their liberty!
When I was growing up in the West, my brothers and I were subjected to very intense "racist attitudes" from our step-parents.
We lived in a small farming-ranching community where that sort of belief system is generally passed on from one generation to the
next and nobody ever really questions it.
However, at a very early age, I instinctively rebelled against this view of the world. It seems that I had a sort of natural,
intrinsic love, respect and a fascination for other cultures and peoples. Of course, it drove my step-parents CRAZY. There was a
lot of tension between us because of this.
My love for and curiosity about other cultures led me to travel extensively as I grew up. I was curious; I wanted to explore;
I wanted to KNOW. When I eventually married outside my own culture, well, I had crossed the line and all contact with my family
had to be terminated. The price they were willing to pay for their racist beliefs was high - in my opinion - moreso for them than
for me, though certainly this rejection was painful.
My point is, I resisted this racist program intensely. It was all around me, in the town, the schools, the church we attended.
But I wanted no part of it. It seems that it went against my very nature. But for others, it seemed very "natural" to "fall for"
this cultural programming - to be "comfortable" within a milieu that excluded nearly everyone else as human beings.
Is it just "ignorance?" Are Americans just ignorant and ignorant of their own ignorance? Is this ignorance strictly due to "official
culture programming" - programming that seems to be designed to encourage ignorance?
Again it seems as though there may be two different types of people and two different ways to deal with the question of one's
own ignorance.
Some individuals, when faced with certain facts about their own ignorance, deny vehemently that they ARE ignorant and resort
to platitudes and cliches even including that old saw about the difference between "book learning" and "common sense." Others, when
confronted with their own ignorance, immediately set about rectifying it no matter how painful it might be.
When I first moved abroad at the age of 21, I quickly realized that I was, like most Americans, abysmally ignorant with regard
to politics. I discovered - to my great dismay - that in my host country, most of the average people around me - shopkeepers, hairdressers,
taxi-drivers - knew more about what was going on in the USA and the rest of the world than I did; a LOT more! I had no IDEA of the
things that were going on that were common knowledge to other peoples in the world. And here, it wasn't simply a matter of having
a different opinion than others. It was a matter of an almost complete lack of INFORMATION within the very country that promotes
democracy as the rule of an "informed citizenry." I realized with striking clarity exactly how ignorant I was at that point, and
I admitted it to myself. Further, I was embarrassed for myself and other Americans who were seen (rightly so) as equally ignorant
and "in the dark" politically and culturally speaking. BUT, due to this embarrassment and realization of the extraordinary extent
of my ignorance, I determined to do something about it.
But there are so many Americans who - when faced with similar situations, faced with their own ignorance - deny it aggressively.
And generally, the "last word" for them is: "Oh, he/she doesn't know what the hell they are talking about! They're 'foreigners'."
And that's the key: "foreigners."
"Foreigners" can't possibly know anything because they aren't American. And Americans, by default of having the most bombs on
the planet, always "know" what's up. Or, at the very least, their leaders do and we just don't have to think about such things.
That's what we elect our leaders for, isn't it? So they will handle all that boring and tedious political stuff and leave us alone
to watch "Survivor" and the Super Bowl and wash our new SUV so that the Joneses can be green with envy!
And they leave it at that. It's the preferred way to handle all such questions. Forget the entire issue of an "informed citizenry"
and any possible outrage that citizens of the US are not only NOT informed, they are being deliberately DIS-informed!
They don't even realize that "Survivor" is programming them to the very attitudes that are being displayed by their leaders -
normalizing it, so to say - and at the present moment these attitude are being manifested in their own lives in a direct and terrifying
way. For many in the US, their future is that there won't be any more Super Bowls, and the SUV certainly doesn't get enough gas
mileage to get them far enough away from the terror that will confront them when they are "voted off the island" in the global game
of "Survivor."
Why does this condition exist? Why are so many people so susceptible to the "official culture" and the mass media propaganda?
Why are so many people willing slaves to it? And why do some others - once the questions have been raised - begin to seek the knowledge
that reveals the man behind the curtain?
Perhaps it is more than simply a matter of very clever and intense programming. Perhaps it is also a matter of the nature of
a person?
LKJ: In recent times, I have considered many ideas in an attempt to answer this question. The members of the Quantum Future School
have been engaged in studying psychopathy and
pseudo-psychopathy for about two years now. This has certainly prepared most of us to be able to see the man behind the curtain,
or, in this case, behind the "mask of sanity." But it still doesn't answer the question as to why psychopathic behavior seems to
be so widespread in the US. (That is not to say that it doesn't exist everywhere - that's a given.)
Linda Mealey of the Department of Psychology at the College of St. Benedict in St. Joseph, Minnesota, has recently proposed certain
ideas in her paper: The Sociobiology of Sociopathy: An Integrated Evolutionary Model. These ideas address the increase in
psychopathy in American culture by suggesting that in a competitive society - capitalism, for example - psychopathy is adaptive
and likely to increase. She writes:
I have thus far argued that some individuals seem to have a genotype that disposes them to [psychopathy].
[Psychopathy describes]
frequency-dependent, genetically based, individual differences in employment of life strategies. [Psychopaths] always appear
in every culture, no matter what the socio-cultural conditions. [...]
Competition increases the use of antisocial and Machiavellian strategies and can counteract pro-social behavior
Some cultures encourage competitiveness more than others and these differences in social values vary both temporally and
cross-culturally. [...] Across both dimensions, high levels of competitiveness are associated with high crime rates and Machiavellianism.
High populaton density, an indirect form of competition, is also associated with reduced pro-social behavior and increased
anti-social behavior. [...] [Mealey, op. cit.]
The conclusion is that the American way of life has optimized the survival of psychopaths with the consequence that it is an
adaptive "life strategy" that is extremely successful in American society, and thus has increased in the population in strictly
genetic terms. What is more, as a consequence of a society that is adaptive for psychopathy, many individuals who are NOT genetic
psychopaths have similarly adapted, becoming "effective" psychopaths, or "secondary sociopaths."
(Many experts differentiate between primary and secondary sociopaths. The first is a sociopath because they have the "genes"
and the second is more or less "created" by their environment of victimization. Other experts refer to these two categories as "psychopaths"
for the genetic variety and "sociopaths" for the reactive variety. We prefer this latter distinction.)
Of course, because they are not intellectually handicapped, these individuals [psychopaths] will progress normally in terms
of cognitive development and will acquire a theory of mind. Their theories, however, will be formulated purely in instrumental
terms [what can claiming this or that GET for me?], without access to the empathic understanding that most of us rely on so
much of the time.
They may become excellent predictors of others' behavior, unhandicapped by the "intrusiveness" of emotion, acting, as do
professional gamblers, solely on nomothetic laws and actuarial data rather than on hunches and feelings.
In determining how to "play" in the social encounters of everyday life, they will use a pure cost-benefit approach
based on immediate personal outcomes, with no "accounting" for the emotional reactions of the others with whom they are
dealing.
Without any real love to "commit" them to cooperation, without any anxiety to prevent fear of "defection," without guilt
to inspire repentance, they are free to continually play for the short-term benefit.
At the same time, because changes in gene frequencies in the population would not be able to keep pace with the fast-changing
parameters of social interactions, an additional fluctuating proportion of sociopathy should result because, in a society of
[psychopathy], the environmental circumstances make an antisocial strategy of life more profitable than a pro-social one. [Mealey]
In other words, in a world of psychopaths, those who are not genetic psychopaths, are induced to behave like psychopaths simply
to survive. When the rules are set up to make a society "adaptive" to psychopathy, it makes psychopaths of everyone.
Now, do not be fooled by the word "psychopath." Many individuals equate this term with mass murderers or "foaming at the mouth"
madmen. By any name, this dangerous personality disorder presents three unsettling realities: Its prevalence seems to be increasing,
it is far more common than previously thought, and there is no cure.
What makes the psychopath so frightening and dangerous is that he or she wears a completely convincing "Mask of Sanity". This
may at first make such a person utterly persuasive and compellingly healthy, according to psychiatrist Harvey Cleckley. Dr. Cleckey
was first to describe the key symptoms of the disorder.
Psychopaths can be very sociable, even though they are antisocial behind their "mask" in the sense that their "emotions" are
completely fake. They are masters at manipulating others for their personal gain. Their charm, in fact, is legendary. "As a therapist,
you run across this all of the time, where a man is mysteriously controlled by a sociopath," explains psychologist Melvin Sinder,
co-author of Smart Men Bad Choices.
Psychopaths are experts at using people. They can ask anything of anyone without embarassment and because of their outgoing seducing
friendliness, their use of "poor innocent me! I am such a GOOD person and I have been treated so BADLY!" the victim invariably gets
sucked into giving the psychopath what they ask for - no matter how outrageous.
Psychopaths are masters at faking emotions in order to manipulate others. One psychologist reported that if you actually catch
them in the act of committing a crime, or telling a lie, "they will immediately justify their actions by self pity and blaming another,
by creating a heart-rending scene of faked emotional feelings." These fake emotions are only for effect, as the careful observer
will note. The Psychopath considers getting their way or getting out of trouble using faked emotions as a victory over another person.
Psychopaths are incapable of feeling concern or remorse for the consequences of their actions. They can calmly rationalize
their insensitive and bizarre behavior all the while attributing malice to everyone but themselves. When caught in a lie, they will
manipulate others or stories to their own advantage without any fear of being found out - even if it is obvious to everyone around
them that they WILL be found out.
Psychopaths cannot feel fear for themselves, much less empathy for others. Most normal people, when they are about to do something
dangerous, illegal, or immoral, feel a rush of worry, nervousness, or fear. Guilt may overwhelm them and prevent them from even
committing the deed.
The psychopath feels little or nothing.
As a result, the threat of punishment, even painful punishment is a laughing matter for the psychopath. They can repeat the same
destructive acts without skipping a heartbeat, as well as seek thrills and dangers without regard for possible risks. This is called
"hypoarousal." That is, very little - if anything - really arouses them; they are more machine-like than human-like.
The psychopath seems to be full of something akin to deep greed. They manifest this inner state in many ways. One of the most
common ways is to steal something of value to their victim (valuables), or to hurt/slander the victim or something or someone the
victim loves. In the psychopath's mind, this is justified because the victim crossed him, did not give him what he wanted, or rejected
him (or her).
Psychopaths lie for the sake of lying. They can convey the deepest hear- felt message without meaning a word of it. They can
also tell the most outrageous stories simply in order to be at the center of attention and to get what they want.
An example is told by a researcher in psychopathy: Melissa was a girl that was very attractive and very outgoing. She met with
an attorney regarding getting a divorce from her husband and convinced the attorney that her husband was ruining her life.
The attorney felt sorry for her as she carried on about the abuse she had suffered. She was so convincing, that the attorney
wanted to help her personally. With her seductive charisma, he became hopelessly infatuated and began to date Melissa. At a certain
point, the attorney refused to take illegal and immoral actions against her estranged husband that Melissa requested.
At this point, she filed sexual harassment charges against the attorney to try to force him to do what she wanted. She didn't
realize that, by doing this, she had exposed herself for what she was and there was no possibility that the attorney was going to
bow to her blackmail pressures. After much pain and heart break all around, Melissa dropped the law suit and moved to another state.
The attorney commented that he had never been so emotionally overwhelmed in his entire life.
Indeed, using their "emotional performances," these individuals can be truly overwhelming. Their charisma can be so inspiring
- their emotion so deep and sincere-seeming - that people just want to be around them, want to help them, want to give all and support
such a noble, suffering being. What is generally not seen by the victim is that they are feeding an endless internal hunger for
control, excitement and ego-recognition.
The psychopath is obsessed with control even if they give the impression of being helpless. Their pretense to emotional sensitivity
is really part of their control function: The higher the level of belief in the psychopath that can be induced in their victim through
their dramas, the more "control" the psychopath believes they have. And in fact, this is true. They DO have control when others
believe their lies. Sadly, the degree of belief, the degree of "submission" to this control via false representation, generally
produces so much pain when the truth is glimpsed that the victim would prefer to continue in the lie than face the fact that they
have been duped. The psychopath counts on this. It is part of their "actuarial calculations." It gives them a feeling of power.
It is all too easy to fall under the spell of the charismatic psychopath. There are many who do the psychopath's bidding without
realizing that they have been subtly and cleverly controlled. They can even be manipulated to perform criminal acts, or acts of
sabotage against another - innocent - person on behalf of the psychopath. Very often, when this is realized by the victim, that
they have caused suffering in innocent people at the behest of a liar, again they prefer to deny this than to face up to the truth
of their own perfidy and gullibility.
Psychopathic behavior seems to be on the rise because of the very nature of American capitalistic society. The great hustlers,
charmers, and self-promoters in the sales fields are perfect examples of where the psychopath can thrive. The entertainment industry,
the sports industry, the corporate world in a Capitalistic system, are all areas where psychopaths naturally rise to the top. Some
observers believe that there is a psychological continuum between psychopaths (who tend to be professionally unsuccessful) and narcissistic
entrepreneurs (who are successful), because these two groups share the highly developed skill of manipulating others for their own
gain. It is now being thought that they are actually the "same" but that the "unsuccessful" psychopath is merely flawed in their
calculating abilities. They are unable to recalculate based on new actuarial data. Successful Narcissists might seem to be perfectly
able to add to their actuarial database and "recalculate" and shift course and develop new subroutines based on ongoing input.
In general, the successful psychopath "computes" how much they can get away with in a cost-benefit ratio of the alternatives.
Among the factors that they consider as most important are money, power, and gratification of negative desires. They are not motivated
by such social reinforcment as praise or future benefits. Studies have been done that show locking up a psychopath has absolutely
no effect on them in terms of modifying their life strategies. In fact, in is shown to make them worse. Effectively, when locked
up, psychopaths just simply learn how to be better psychopaths.
Since the psychopath bases their activities designed to get what they want on their particular "theory of mind," it is instructive
to have a look at this issue. Having a "theory of mind" allows an individual to impute mental states (thoughts, perceptions, and
feelings) not only to oneself, but also to other individuals. It is, in effect, a tool that helps us predict the behavior of others.
The most successful individuals are those who most accurately predict what another person will do given a certain set of circumstances.
In the present day, we have Game Theory which is being used to model many social problems including psychopathy.
When two individuals interact with each other, each must decide what to do without knowledge of what the other is doing. Imagine
that the two players are the government and the public. In the following model, each of the players faces only a binary choice:
to behave ethically either in making laws or in obeying them.
The assumption is that both players are informed about everything except the level of ethical behavior of the other. They know
what it means to act ethically, and they know the consequences of being exposed as unethical.
There are three elements to the game. 1) The players, 2) the strategies available to either of them, and 3) the payoff each player
receives for each possible combination of strategies.
In a legal regime, one party is obliged to compensate the other for damages under certain conditions but not under others. We
are going to imagine a regime wherein the government is never liable for losses suffered by the public because of its unethical
behavior - instead, the public has to pay for the damages inflicted by the government due to unethical behavior.
The way the payoffs are represented is generally in terms of money. That is, how much investment does each player have to make
in ethical behavior and how much payoff does each player receive for his investment.
In this model, behaving ethically, according to standards of social values that are considered the "norm," costs each player
$10.00. When law detrimental to the public is passed, it costs the public $100.00. We take it as a given that such laws will be
passed unless both players behave ethically.
Next, we assume that the likelihood of a detrimental law being passed in the event that both the public and the government are
behaving ethically is a one-in-ten chance.
In a legal regime in which the government is never held responsible for its unethical behavior, and if neither the government
nor the public behave ethically, the government enjoys a payoff of $0. and the public is out $100 when a law detrimental to the
public is passed.
If both "invest" in ethical behavior, the government has a payoff of minus $10. (the cost of behaving ethically) and the public
is out minus $20. which is the $10. invested in being ethical PLUS the $10. of the one-in-ten chance of a $100. loss incurred if
a detrimental law is passed.
If the government behaves ethically and the public does not, resulting in the passing of a law detrimental to the populace, the
government is out the $10. invested in being ethical and the public is out $100.
If the government does not behave ethically, and the public does, the government has a payoff of $0. and the public is out $110
which is the "cost of being ethical" added to the losses suffered when the government passes detrimental laws. Modeled in a Game
Theory Bi-matrix, it looks like this, with the two numbers representing the "payoff" to the people - the left number in each pair
- and government - the right number in each pair.
Government
No Ethics
Ethical
No Ethics
-100, 0
-100, -10
Society/People
Ethical
-110, 0
-20, -10
In short, in this game, the government always does better by not being ethical and we can predict the government's choice of
strategy because there is a single strategy - no ethics - that is better for the government no matter what choice the public makes.
This is a "strictly dominant strategy," or a strategy that is the best choice for the player no matter what choices are made by
the other player.
What is even worse is the fact that the public is PENALIZED for behaving ethically. Since we know that the government, in the
above regime, will never behave ethically because it is the dominant strategy, we find that ethical behavior on the part of the
public actually costs MORE than unethical behavior.
In short, psychopathic behavior is actually a POSITIVE ADAPTATION in such a regime.
The public, as you see, cannot even minimize their losses by behaving ethically. It costs them $110. to be ethical, and only
$100. to not be ethical.
Now, just substitute "psychopath" in the place of the government and non-psychopath in the place of the public, and you begin
to understand why the psychopath will always be a psychopath. If the "payoff" is emotional pain of being hurt, or shame for being
exposed, in the world of the psychopath, that consequence simply does not exist just as in the legal regime created above, the government
is never responsible for unethical behavior. The psychopath lives in a world in which it is like a government that is never held
responsible for behavior that is detrimental to others. It's that simple. And the form game above will tell you why psychopaths
in the population, as well as in government, are able to induce the public to accept laws that are detrimental. It simply isn't
worth it to be ethical. If you go along with the psychopath, you lose. If you resist the psychopath, you lose even more.
The [psychopath] is unfamiliar with the primary facts or data of what might be called personal values and is altogether
incapable of understanding such matters. It is impossible for him to take even a slight interest in the tragedy or joy or
the striving of humanity as presented in serious literature or art. He is also indifferent to all these matters in life itself.
Beauty and ugliness, except in a very superficial sense, goodness, evil, love, horror, and humour have no actual meaning, no
power to move him. He is, furthermore, lacking in the ability to see that others are moved. It is as though he were colour-blind,
despite his sharp intelligence, to this aspect of human existence. It cannot be explained to him because there is nothing in
his orbit of awareness that can bridge the gap with comparison. He can repeat the words and say glibly that he understands,
and there is no way for him to realize that he does not understand. [Cleckley, H.M. (1941). The mask of sanity: An attempt
to reinterpret the so-called psychopathic personality. St. Louis: The C. V. Mosby Company]
It also means that such a person is free to choose to do things that are potentially self-destructive without giving a single
indication to another "player" that his or her choice is based entirely on a delusion. Very often, they "win" because of the sheer
boldness of their actions which is unrestricted by conscience which is a construct of emotions.
It's like a poker player who has absolutely nothing in his hand, but because he is so intent on winning, and is so unmoved by
the possibility of losing because lying produces absolutely no internal, emotional reaction of fear of being discovered or the potential
shame or disaster inherent in such an event, is able to bluff so convincingly that the other players - any of whom might have a
winning hand, fold and walk away because they are convinced by the psychopath's confidence that he must have the winning hand of
all time.
Only he doesn't.
And this means that the psychopath's strength is also his Achilles heel. Once he has been spotted, identified, understood, he
no longer has the power to bluff. Once knowledge enters the game, the psychopath is exposed, and has no more ability to "con" the
other players. The sad part is: he also has no ability to learn from this experience anything other than how to make his bluff better
and more convincing next time. The psychopath never gets mad because he is caught in a lie; he is only concerned with "damage control"
in terms of his ability to continue to con others.
Societies can be considered as "players" in the psychopath's game model.
The past behavior of a society will be used by the psychopath to predict the future behavior of that society. Like an individual
player, a society will have a certain probability of detecting deception and a more or less accurate memory of who has cheated on
them in the past, as well as a developed or not developed proclivity to retaliate against a liar and cheater. Since the psychopath
is using an actuarial approach to assess the costs and benefits of different behaviors (just how much can he get away with), it
is the actual past behavior of the society which will go into his calculations rather than any risk assessments based on any "fears
or anxieties" of being caught and punished that empathic people would feel in anticipation of doing something illegal.
Thus, in order to reduce psychopathic behavior in society and in government, a society MUST establish and enforce a reputation
for high rates of detection of deception and identification of liars, and a willingness to retaliate. In other words, it must establish
a successful strategy of deterrence.
Since the psychopath is particularly unable to make decisions based on future consequences, and is able only to focus attention
on immediate gratification - short term goals - it is possible that such individuals can be dealt with by establishing a history
of dealing out swift social retaliation. That is, identifying and punishing liars and cheaters must be both immediate and predictable
that it will be immediate.
And here we come to the issue: concerning the real-world, human social interactions on a large scale, reducing psychopathy in
our leaders depends upon expanding society's collective memory of individual players' past behavior.
Any reasonable scan of the news will reveal that lies and cheating are not "covered up" as thoroughly as American apologists
would like to think.
Even the less well-informed Americans have some idea that there was certainly something fishy about the investigation into the
assassination of JFK. In recent years, the man in charge of the Warren Commission, Gerald Ford, also a former president, admitted
to "cheating" on the report.
Then, there was Watergate followed by the Iran-Contra affair, not to mention "Monica-gate." And here we are just hitting some
highlights familiar to all Americans.
What consequences did the cheaters of society suffer?
None to speak of. In fact, in nearly every case, they were rewarded handsomely with those things of value to the psychopath:
money and material goods. If anyone thinks they were shamed by public exposure, think again!
But what is of CRUCIAL interest here is the fact that the American people have simply NOT responded to the revelations of lies
in government with any outrage that could be considered more than token. At the present time, there isn't even "token outrage."
Don't you find that odd?
But we have already noted the reason: the American way of life has optimized the survival of psychopathy and in a world of psychopaths,
those who are not genetic psychopaths, are induced to behave like psychopaths simply to survive. When the rules are set up to make
a society "adaptive" to psychopathy, it makes psychopaths of everyone. As a consequence, a very large number of Americans are effective
sociopaths. (Here we use "sociopath" as a designation of those individuals who are not genetic psychopaths.)
And so, we have George Bush and the Third Reich calculating how much they can get away with by looking at the history of the
reactions of the American People to cheating.
There aren't any because the system is adaptive to psychopathy. In other words, Americans support Bush and his agenda because
most of them are LIKE him.
But that is not because they are ALL born that way. It is because psychopathy is almost required to survive in Competitive, Capitalistic
America.
As a society gets larger and more competitive, individuals become more anonymous and more Machiavellian. Social stratification
and segregation leads to feelings of inferiority, pessimism and depression among the have-nots, and this promotes the use of "cheating
strategies" in life which then makes the environment more adaptive for psychopathy in general.
Psychopathic behavior among non-genetic psychopaths could be viewed as a functional method of obtaining desirable resources,
increasing an individual's status in a local group, and even a means of providing stimulation that socially and financially successful
people find in acceptable physical and intellectual challenges. In other words, the psychopath is a bored and frustrated sensation-seeker
who "does not have the intellectual capacitiy to amuse and occupy himself" internally. Such individuals may begin their lives in
the lower socio-economic levels, but they often rise to the top.
In America, a great many households are affected by the fact that work, divorce, or both, have removed one or both parents from
interaction with their children for much of the day. This is a consequence of Capitalistic economics.
When the parents are absent, or even when one is present but not in possession of sufficient knowledge or information, children
are left to the mercies of their peers, a culture shaped by the media. Armed with joysticks and TV remotes, children are guided
from South Park and Jerry Springer to Mortal Kombat on Nintendo. Normal kids become desensitized
to violence. More-susceptible kids - children with a genetic inheritance of psychopathy - are pushed toward a dangerous mental precipice.
Meanwhile, the government is regularly passing laws, on the demand of parents and the psychological community, designed to avoid
imposing consequences on junior's violent behavior.
As for media violence, few researchers continue to try to dispute that bloodshed on TV and in the movies has an effect on the
kids who witness it. Added to the mix now are video games structured around models of hunting and killing. Engaged by graphics,
children learn to associate spurts of "blood" with the primal gratification of scoring a "win."
Again, economics controls the reality.
While everyone will readily admit that there is probably too much violence on television and that the ads are probably pure balderdash,
very few people have a real conception of the precise nature and extent of the hypnotic influence of the media. Still fewer have
any idea of the purposes behind this inducement. Wallace and Wallechinsky write in The People's Almanac:
"After World War II, television flourished... Psychologists and sociologists were brought in to study human nature in relation
to selling; in other words, to figure out how to manipulate people without their feeling manipulated. Dr. Ernest Dichter, President
of the Institute for Motivational Research made a statement in 1941... 'the successful ad agency manipulates human motivations
and desires and develops a need for goods with which the public has at one time been unfamiliar -- perhaps even undesirous of
purchasing.
"Discussing the influence of television, Daniel Boorstin wrote:
'Here at last is a supermarket of surrogate experience. Successful programming offers entertainment -- under the guise of instruction;
instruction -- under the guise of entertainment; political persuasion -- with the appeal of advertising; and advertising --
with the appeal of drama.'
"Programmed television serves not only to spread acquiescence and conformity, but it represents a deliberate industry
approach." [quoted by Wallace, Wallechinsky]
Aside from the fact that television has been conjectured to be extremely detrimental to children and that it is now thought that
most of the deteriorating aspects of society can be attributed to the decaying values portrayed on television, there is a deeper
and more insidious effect upon the human psyche. As quoted, it is a planned and deliberate manipulation to spread acquiescence and
conformity and to hypnotize the masses to submit to the authority of the masters of economics through their false prophet, the television.
Allen Funt, host of a popular show, Candid Camera, was once asked what was the most disturbing thing he had learned
about people in his years of dealing with them through the media. His response was chilling in its ramifications:
"The worst thing, and I see it over and over, is how easily people can be led by any kind of authority figure, or even the most
minimal kinds of authority. A well dressed man walks up the down escalator and most people will turn around and try desperately
to go up also... We put up a sign on the road, 'Delaware Closed Today'. Motorists didn't even question it. Instead they asked:
'Is Jersey open?'" [quoted by Wallace, Wallechinsky]
A picture is forming of a deliberately contrived society of televised conformity, literate and creative inadequacy, and social
unrest and decadence. It is apparent that the media is in charge of propagating these conditions, and the media is controlled by
what?
Capitalistic, competitive Economics.
It would seem that the motivation masters would, in the interests of their industrial clients, plan programming to bring about
beneficial societal conditions - which they could, in fact, do. It is apparent that the final authority on televised programming
is in the hands of the advertisers, backed by the industries whose products are being sold. With all the psychological input to
which they have access, it would seem that they utilize programming to correct societal conditions which cost them money. Over 25
billion dollars a year is spent to teach workers to read and write, after graduating from the combined effects of a public school
system and the television. It is accepted that the burgeoning crime rate, which also costs these industrial giants vast sums of
money, is mostly attributable to the frustrations and dissatisfactions engendered by the false view of reality presented over the
television.
Why don't they use their financial resources to back the motivation masters to figure out how to present programming which could
effect positive changes?
Can it be that the conditions of society, including the programed response to "minimal signs of authority" are planned? Would
anyone care to suggest that the figures and studies relating to the detrimental influence of programming is not available to them
and that they don't realize that it is costing them money? If that is the case, then they are too stupid to be arbiters of our values
and we should disregard them entirely in any event. If it is not the case, then we must assume that there is an object to this
manipulation.
There is much evidence to support the idea that this purpose, or the object of this manipulation, is to create psychological
and social disunity - social psychopathy - sufficient to permit the instituting of a totalitarian government at the behest of the
people. It is further theorized that the "wealthy elite" seek to control the entire world from behind the scenes and it is to this
end that they mastermind and fund the various actions which appear to the masses as political and international "accidents".
FDR. said:
"Nothing in politics ever happens by accident; if it happens, you can bet it was planned!"
And he was in a position to know.
There is much evidence to support the notion that wars are fomented and fought to redistribute these balances of financial power
behind the scenes and that, though our fathers, brother, grandfathers, uncles, cousins and sons die in these actions, they are merely
games of "International Relations" played by those whose money and position give them absolute power to shape our reality to some
nefarious end.
The psychic stresses of our world are right in the home. There they can easily act on any kid who believes that "the world has
wronged me" - a sentiment spoken from the reality of existence - a reality created by economic pressures instituted via Game Theory.
Is there a solution?
The obvious solution would be a world in which, at the very least, the psychopath - in government or in society - would be forced
to be responsible for unethical behavior. But game-theory modeling demonstrates that selfishness is always the most profitable
strategy possible for replicating units.
Could it ever be an evolutionarily stable strategy for people to be innately unselfish?
On the whole, a capacity to cheat, to compete and to lie has proven to be a stupendously successful adaptation. Thus the idea
that selection pressure could ever cause saintliness to spread in a society looks implausible in practice. It doesn't seem feasible
to outcompete genes which promote competitiveness. "Nice guys" get eaten or outbred. Happy people who are unaware get eaten or outbred.
Happiness and niceness today is vanishingly rare, and the misery and suffering of those who are able to truly feel, who are empathic
toward other human beings, who have a conscience, is all too common. And the psychopathic manipulations are designed to make psychopaths
of us all.
Nevertheless, a predisposition to, conscience, ethics, can prevail if and when it is also able to implement the deepest
level of altruism: making the object of its empathy the higher ideal of enhancing free will in the abstract sense, for the sake
of others, including our descendants.
In short, our "self-interest" ought to be vested in collectively ensuring that all others are happy and well-disposed
too; and in ensuring that children we bring into the world have the option of being constitutionally happy and benevolent toward
one another.
This means that if psychopathy threatens the well-being of the group future, then it can be only be dealt with by refusing to
allow the self to be dominated by it on an individual, personal basis. Preserving free will for the self in the practical sense,
ultimately preserves free will for others. Protection of our own rights AS the rights of others, underwrites the free will position
and potential for happiness of all. If mutant psychopaths pose a potential danger then true empathy, true ethics, true conscience,
dictates using prophylactic therapy against psychopaths.
And so it is that identifying the psychopath, ceasing our interaction with them, cutting them off from our society, making ourselves
unavailable to them as "food" or objects to be conned and used, is the single most effective strategy that we can play.
It seems certain from the evidence that a positive transformation of human nature isn't going to come about through a great spiritual
awakening, socio-economic reforms, or a spontaneous desire among the peoples of the world to be nice to each other. But it's quite
possible that, in the long run, the psychopathic program of suffering will lose out because misery is not a stable strategy. In
a state of increasing misery, victims will seek to escape it; and this seeking will ultimately lead them to inquire into the true
state of their misery, and that may lead to a society of intelligent people who will have the collective capacity to do so.

'Cuties' goes to court: Netflix INDICTED by Texas grand jury for lewd depiction of children in controversial film

Leah Scher Editor Entertainment And News July 21, 2019 He was Epstein's main pilot for the past two decades.
The full court filing was published on Mondoweiss a couple of days ago. We learn that the complainant, Jane Doe #3, was 15 years of age, and that she was recruited by an Epstein associate named Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of Robert Maxwell (the late news tycoon and known Mossad asset). The photo to the left shows the Prince with the girl who seems to have been Jane Doe #3. Allegedly, the shot was taken by Epstein. (Note: In what follows, the term NPA refers to non-prosecution agreement .)
Epstein then became enamored with Jane Doe #3, and with the assistance of Maxwell converted her into what is commonly referred to as a "sex slave." Epstein kept Jane Doe #3 as his sex slave from about 1999 through 2002, when she managed to escape to a foreign country and hide out from Epstein and his co-conspirators for years. From 1999 and 2002, Epstein frequently sexually abused Jane Doe #3, not only in West Palm Beach but also in New York, New Mexico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, in international airspace on Epstein's private planes, and elsewhere.There's a third named participant in these doings, one Jean Luc Brunel, a close Epstein friend and a scout for various modelling agencies.The Daily Mail discloses that one of Epstein's, er, protegees was a woman named Johanna Sjoberg. Since the story links her to Prince Andrew, it is tempting suppose that she is the aforementioned Jane Doe #3. However, British newspapers have named another young woman, Virginia Roberts.

Good point, Pucker. All the pro-Podesta apologists can't explain away the
code language. Especially, disturbing are remarks (I think by owner James
Alefantis) about 4 sick pizzas left over from the last session on sale for
$1000. Be sure and dispose of them properly."
I have pages of Word docs and have listened to too many facts,
Most intellectuals hate Conspiracies for two reasons: one good and one
bad. On the good side, there is just too much lunacy and crackpottery
once conjecture and Freud's "primary process" (fantasy) get going. On
the bad side, they hate not having full information or at least a
partial store of consensus information from which to analyze. But Life
is Conspiracy – and sometimes we have to go with what we have. In this
regards, detectives are superior to intellectuals: they do it all the
time. Ditto scientists. It's the inductive process. Once you get
enough you form a hypothesis. Then you test it. That's all we're
asking for in regards to this case. And I think we both agree: what
they would find would bring down the System.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence
The utilization of "Conspiracy theorist" came about after the
common man on the street started waking up to the fact that he was
being screwed by those in power and lied to consistently. Did you
know that during World War II, President Roosevelt, was onboard the
battleship USS Iowa in route to North Africa when it was
"accidently torpedoed" (the fish detonated in the ship's wake and
did not actually impact the ship) by the US destroyer, the William
D. Porter? Well it's the first I am hearing of it so I guess that
these people are pretty good at keeping things quiet when they go
wrong, especially REALLY wrong
