The Danger Of Epstein

I apologize for the fact that this is going to be a very cynical post. It is not all original information, but has been taken from various sources I follow.

So far the release of the Epstein files has had more impact in England and Europe than it has in America. I expect that trend to continue.

The people on the international state have not had any charges brought against them or proven–they have simply stepped down from their positions because of their association with Epstein. In America, everyone on the flight logs or memos has stayed put.

It is very obvious that Epstein had some very powerful connections. It is also very obvious to me that because of the corruption in both political parties in America, no American leader or politician will be held accountable for actions or connections to Jeffrey Epstein, regardless of what he/she did. So ignore the depositions of the Clintons, the cries of the Democrats that bringing the Clintons before Congress was unfair. Relax, nothing will come of it.

However, particularly on the left, accusations will fly–just as accusations flew in the confirmation hearings of Justice Thomas and Justice Kavanaugh. The political left is already accusing the Department of Justice of not releasing documents in the Epstein files related to President Trump.

Do you really believe that if there were ‘smoking gun’ evidence against President Trump in the Epstein files that the Biden administration would not have released it? The  Biden administration had all of the information that the Trump administration has yet there was never a call to open up the files.

The Epstein files are much ado about nothing, but the Democrats will use them to create imaginary charges against President Trump. There is no other reason for the Democrats to be focused on the Epstein files at this point.

Why You Should Never Trust The Mainstream Media

I used a search engine to see if I could actually find this story and had no luck. I gave up after about twenty pages. I could find the initial story with the accusations, but searching for the truth in the mainstream media was a futile effort.

Recently, photographs supposedly taken from the Epstein files were released. Some of the photographs show President Trump, President Clinton, and other famous people in the presence of Jeffrey Epstein. How many of you have been at an event with a famous person and had your picture taken? I personally have a selfie with Scott Brown. I realize that is not as impressive as President Trump, but I lived in New England forever, and that is the picture I have. At any rate, in one picture, the faces of the women in the picture are blacked out to imply that they might be under age. Well, there is an interesting story behind that picture.

On Saturday, The Post Millennium reported:

House Oversight Committee Democrats released images Friday that included two photos of Trump posing with women whose faces were blacked out. Unredacted versions later published by the New York Post showed Trump standing with adult female models. One of the women pictured said Trump was a “gentleman” and described his behavior as respectful.

“I was 22 years old and remember him being very nice. He was very gentlemanly, that’s the word to describe him,” she told The Telegraph. The outlet reported the women were models representing the suntan lotion brand Hawaiian Tropic at an event held at Mar-a-Lago. While the exact date of the photos are unclear, the photo is believed to have been taken in 1998.

During the 1990s, the now-president was running beauty pageants and owned the Miss Universe organization, which he bought in 1996 and sold his stake in 2015.

The image was posted on X by Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari, who wrote, “Vile, disturbing new photos of Donald Trump that raise even more question about knowledge of abuses at Epstein’s estate.” Ansari added that Oversight Committee Democrats are “demanding the DOJ comply with our subpoena and release the full Epstein files. Stop protecting pedophiles. Survivors deserve justice now.”

How many Americans who depend on the mainstream media for their news will believe that these photos are an indication of illegal behavior? There needs to be a price paid by Congressmen for misleading the American public.

The View From The Lair

Tar Baby, part deux

In my previous rant about the Epstein debacle, I mentioned that perhaps Ms. AG Bondi and AD Bongino may have prematurely excited the MAGA base with promises that they might not be able to fulfil. There was never any danger that PDJT would be exposed to anything promiscuous, much less incriminating. Even if the lousy investigation by President Rutabaga’s DOJ had turned up anything, the WAPO and NYT front pages would have been filled with it for weeks. Even if there had been inclusion of Marxist participation co-incidental to DJT’s exposure – Slick Willy, for example – they would have thrown them under the bus in a NY minute. So, with Epstein suicided, case closed.

Except.

The Keystone Kops under Garland Merrick forgot to question Ghislane Maxwell. She’s only the primary (and only surviving) witness to the whole tawdry affairs. How could they have missed questioning her? After all, with all the documentation they had, what could she offer?

Other than the truth, that is.

The documentation apparently contains a lot of not much. Inuendo, vague descriptions, nothing sufficiently incriminating. I would expect that there would be mention of people that the FBI really wouldn’t want to interview – such as heavy hitter donors to the Marxists. Can’t be embarrassing them now, can we? Maybe Slick Willy since he showed up on the Lolita Express numerous times without accompanying security! It’s unlikely that anyone with any law enforcement affiliation would be welcomed.

So now AG Bondi has re-opened the investigation. New material evidence – like interrogating the only witness that was never questioned – allows a new grand jury. A new investigation team.

So now, maybe the real story of Jeffrey Epstein can come out. Ms. Maxwell wasn’t stored in a NY jail, under the sleeping eyes of guards, available to anyone who might not want him to testify. Not that anyone like, oh, said Slick Willy would ever want that to happen. Of course not.

In typical Marxist fashion they covered up as much as they could. But suiciding Ms. Maxwell would have been just too co-incidental. Plus, Florida proved harder to get through to her.

The TDS crowd, as well as the squish MAGA followers were screaming that PDJT had failed at last in delivering a promise. He had delivered everything so far, but…Got to bat 1000 or it doesn’t count.

Oh, ye of little faith. This is PDJT. Not Bush I. Not Bush II. President Donald J. Trump swings a heavy bat. He swings for the fences.

And he delivers.

The Snark

The Hair-On-Fire Media

Lighting someone’s hair on fire tends to take their focus away from anything else going on. The tendency is to deal with the crisis at hand and focus on it until it is resolved—particularly if there is something going on that you want to ignore. In my opinion, the recent dust-up over the Epstein Files was designed to distract from the information political insiders knew was coming.

The mainstream media’s reaction to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s declassification of records regarding the 2016+ Russia Hoax has been interesting. Most of the media has ignored it. The media that has reported it (MSNBC for example posted the headline, “DNI Gabbard concocts odd ‘treasonous conspiracy’ theory, eyes Russia probe prosecutions,”) has simply denied that there is any substance to the charges against President Obama and his cadre. However, the CYA memo by Susan Rice on January 20 gives credence to the idea that something that was at least questionable was afoot. The subject of the memorandum that was released by the Director of National Intelligence is titled, “Intelligence Community suppression of intelligence showing “Russian and criminal actors did not impact” the 2016 presidential election via cyber-attacks on infrastructure.” This is not news to anyone who has done their own research in recent years.

Bill Still, of The Still Report videos on YouTube, is a retired newspaper editor and publisher. He reported on Hillary Clinton’s behavior after the September 7, 2016, debate where moderator Matt Laurer asked her a question that had not been previously submitted to her. Bill Still reports that she went into a screaming fit and yelled that she’d get that f*****g Lauer fired for this. Referring to Donald Trump, Clinton said, ”If that f*****g bastard wins, we all hang from noosesLauer’s finished, and if I lose, it’s all on your heads for screwing this up.” People don’t hang for losing elections. (source here) That quote also gives credence to what is revealed in the Director of National Intelligence Memorandum.

It will be interesting to see how much of the media is willing to cover this story accurately and to see where the story leads. This is a scandal, and it remains to be seen whether or not the Democrats and the mainstream media can successfully make it go away.

Some Of These Names Are Awfully Familiar

As we await the release of the Epstein files that was supposed to happen earlier this morning, there are a few things to keep in mind. When you look at the people tangentially connected to Epstein, you wonder if we will ever see the files that actually expose the corruption.

James Kunstler posted an article at his website this morning that reminds us of some of the obstacles the Justice Department might be encountering in releasing the Epstein files.

There are a number of facts listed in the article that some of us may have forgotten or not been aware of:

…AG Bondi said a whistleblower informed her that the New York office of the FBI and their counterparts in the Southern District of NY (Manhattan) DOJ offices were hiding “thousands and thousands” of pages evidence and other stuff (videos? photos?) they had been sitting on for years.

AG Bondi quickly fired off a letter to brand-new FBI Director Kash Patel demanding that the New York FBI office deliver all that stuff to Washington by eight o’clock in the morning today (Friday). If you were Mr. Patel, rather than waiting until morning, wouldn’t you just take a twilight ride up the Jersey Turnpike from Blobville to the Big Apple with an FBI swat team and bust into both the FBI and DOJ offices there. . . and maybe frog-march a few federal employees onto the street like so many grannies caught praying in front of an abortion mill?

…For example, Maurene (spelled that way) Comey, daughter of fired FBI director James Comey has been a lead US attorney out of the SDNY in the case against Ghislaine Maxwell and the more recent case against Sean (“Diddy”) Combs — both cases revolving around grand-scale sexual depravity among world-class celebrities. Note, too, that the SDNY was the origin point of more recent janky cases brought against Mr. Trump in the 2024 runup to the election.

…Bill Barr was USAG in 2019 when Jeffrey Epstein was finally busted, stuffed into the Manhattan federal lockup, and promptly (shall we say, conveniently) turned up dead a few days later (putting aside the known irregularities involving the disposal of his body and the pathology reports about the cause-of-death). Did you notice that no one was ever disciplined for that?

…Nor did Bill Barr ever answer for that, or for some other capers — such as sitting on Hunter Biden’s laptop in the fall of 2019 when Adam Schiff’s House Intelligence Committee held preliminary hearings to consider impeaching President Donald Trump over his inquiring phone call to V. Zelenskyy in Ukraine. The laptop, you surely know, was stuffed with deal memos and emails about the Biden family’s ex-officio financial shenanigans in Ukraine that surely would have amounted to exculpatory evidence and was withheld from Mr. Trump’s lawyers through the entire psychodrama of the impeachment and trial in the Senate.

…Then there is the peculiar history of Bill Barr’s dad, Donald Barr, present at the founding of the CIA (as an OSS officer in WWII), who groomed young Jeffrey Epstein into a job teaching math New York’s Dalton prep school in 1974 on the basis of fake college credentials (Stanford). Epstein was soon transformed into a Wall Street go-getter and most probably an agent for Mossad, Israeli intel. Epstein’s rise in high finance and international spookery led him to crypto-British media mogul and Mossad agent Robert Maxwell and Maxwell’s sex-crazed daughter Ghislaine. . . and the Epstein underage sex operation proceeded from there.

Somehow we keep hearing the same names.
