I do not know if non-subscribers will be able to access this long article on connections in the Epstein file dump which the Usual Media Suspects are choosing to ignore. Is there anyone in the DC Swamp who is not either corrupt or compromised?
“… Well, for one thing, the big picture is getting a lot clearer. Jeffrey Epstein was obviously much more than just a sex offender with a good Rolodex. Adding to a growing evidence locker of known influence peddling, it’s now a proven fact that he operated as a middleman, advisor, best buddy, and unofficial fixer for one of the most powerful banking families in the world [Rothschilds]. He brokered their family disputes. He suggested names for their corporate restructuring. He arranged meetings with heads of state.
He pitched selling their bank and asked for 5%. He earned at least $25 million with their group. He introduced them to the former White House Counsel [Obama’s Kathy Ruemmler] — who then fixed their federal case. And that same Washington power player was receiving Hermès handbags from him, arranging White House tours for his friends, and calling him “Uncle Jeffrey,” years after his first conviction. …”
I am so sick of this entire topic.
Apparently, Epstein was n expert in international money transfers/transactions. Okay. So that’s how he made his money.
I can’t understand all these commentators who say, how could all these famous people possibly hang out with him, after he was convicted in 2008? Haven’t they ever had a friend who got into legal trouble, but maintained his innocence? So they sympathized with him, supported him?
Additionally, the”victim” in his case was 16. That ain’t no child. I’m sure lotsa men would love to be boinking16 year olds.
I heard some female commentator say, “Every one of those girls was somebody’s daughter.” Yes, exactly. And, um, where WERE their parents?
But this is almost as bad as Trump Derangement Syndrome itself. So many people are obsessed with Epstein’s prostitution ring.
As creepy as this idea is to me, historically once girls had bled, they were considered marriageable, especially in primary cultures. By age 16, almost all females have passed that milestone. If the purpose of sex is reproduction then, arguably, 16-year-olds are fit for purpose. Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should but there it is.
When you’re right, you’re right, @drlorentz This was not something perverse. Mala prohibita, rather than mala in se.
The other thing that amazes me is the Left’s blind eye to sexual abuse of actual children. Did you see the movie Sound of Freedom? I could not have sat through that when my daughter was little. Also when it came out, it was well known that the Bygone admin had “lost” 300 little noncitizen children. 300! But the Lefties were dismissive and scornful of the film because it was touted as a “Christian” film. It was like , “oh sure, this kinda thing is probably happening to kids, maybe, but it’s not THAT bad…”
While I’m at it, there’s the Weinstein case, which kicked off the “#metoo” frenzy. Everybody knew the guy had a “casting couch”, they had been making jokes about it at the Oscars for years. He was legendary for demanding sex from wannabe starlets. And I am 100% positive that any young woman, AND her stage mom if she was under 18, knew that too, whenever he suggested a “meeting” in his hotel room. Those girls had sump’n to sell, and they did it voluntarily. Tale as old as time…..
I just looked this up. It does vary around the world, of course, but in general in Europe it’s 18: and it’s 18 in Canada.
In 31 US states it is still 16.
See “Age of Consent around the World” Wilson, The Week, updated 12/25).
That is understandable. Probably you & I see eye to eye on the issue of the extent to which those willing sexualized money-grasping teenagers were “victims”, as the media loves to call them.
The more interesting part is the money. OK, Rothschilds have more money than God – but they did not get that money by giving $25 Million to someone for no reason.
The other interesting part is the Political Class social structure. Just look how cheaply Obama’s female Chief Counsel could be bought – all it took was an iWatch and she was doing big favors. Don’t you think the Chinese Communist Party has noticed?
And of course yet another interesting part is the demise of Epstein himself. No, it was extremely unlikely to be suicide when he was on Suicide Watch, the cameras were out of action, and the guards were asleep. Who killed him (or ordered him to be killed), and why?
And if we can move into the realm of reasonable supposition, would not a person in Epstein’s position in his final months have created a record of who did what when and stacked it in a dead hand drop box as his protection against getting murdered?
To paraphrase Trotsky, we may be sick of the story but the story is not sick of us!
The subtext here - and virtually everywhere anymore - is the “narrative”. It seems to me that everything that “fits” to “print” has a specific ulterior motive. This is but a single example of ubiquitous manipulations of public perceptions for political advantage. Have you noticed, in a more glaring and downright dangerous development, that demons in CA and VA are trying to gerrymander the entire states so as to exclude ANY Congressional seats in the entire states being occupied by Republicans? This despite the fact that near half the population of both states are non-demons. The kicker is, of course, their altruistic motive in excluding half the citizens from Congressional representation is to “save Our Democracy™”. Were there any such thing as a medium, written by actual journalists, this grand dis-enfranchisement would be labeled as the fraudulent and anti-democratic scheme that it is. Not a peep, of course in the MSM, since they’re completely on board, just as they oppose the (anti-fraudulent) (remember the essential nature of the positive duty of “anti-racism”?) SAVE Act. Sadly, the demons are not just wrong - which is my default category for those who differ with me. They are genuinely and dangerously evil and enemies of both real democratic principles and especially of our Constitutional republic. Supporters of this anti-American, would-be tyranny, must now be considered enemies to be defeated, rather than opponents to vote out. They don’t bother to even pretend they ascribe to majoritarian representative mechanisms of self- governance. It is an evil, hate-filled, nihilistic murderous ideology. If not soon convincingly defeated, the US will become half Israel (fighting for mere survival) and half- Palestine (fighting to murder/annihilate Israel and Jews everywhere). What a difficult choice between “moral equals” - as we are perpetually told by media serpents.
I’m not sure I get your point. Money talks. Yuh. It always has and it never shuts up.
Are you implying people were being blackmailed? Idk, the fact that they went with prostitutes just doesn’t seem very….blackmail-y these days.
As for Epstein’s death, I think he was like Sardanapolus: I think he pre-arranged for someone to kill him if it ever got to the point where his life of pleasure was finished. From then on, money again: bribe the guards, sabotage the surveillance—piece o’ cake.
Wow! That is a new one – obviously this narrative still has lots of room to run!
Maybe it is just because I am a miserable bastard … but if I were going to arrange my own death because the good times had ceased to roll, I would also arrange things to get even after my death with all the other miserable bastards who had brought me to this end.
Hang on! Looking at the rapidly thinning ranks of European Royalty and UK bureaucrats – maybe Epstein did make such arrangements?
John Hinderaker on Powerline has a very good article about this, “The Vapidity of Jeffrey Epstein’s Friends”. (Well, “very good” cuz I totes agree with it!)
Has anybody, except the Andrew formerly known as Prince, even been accused of having sex on the infamous island? Ghislaine Maxwell is in prison for procuring women for one man: Jeffrey.
And it’s now even more obvious that Epstein hated Trump. HInderaker points out that Trump could have been ,was, for a while, a member of the same circles—but he turned traitor to his class in order to champion us plebes. He’s like the Gracchi brothers! That’s why his erstwhile peers wanna beat him to death.
It is unfortunate you don’t like this story, Hypatia, because it looks like it will be with us for a long time. It is worth checking out lawyer Childers take on the situation – I think this one is not behind a paywall.
“… Maybe Bret [Weinstein] just has the order backwards. Bret simplistically believes the order of operations should go like this: arrests, disclosures, understanding, public outcry. But maybe, given the scale and prominence of who’s involved, the correct order, the only practical order, is with arrests at the end: a few disclosures, a little understanding, more disclosures, more understanding, escalate to a crescendo, then public outcry, then arrests.
Remember: the elites in the Epstein files’ crosshairs have an unlimited ability to pay for lawyers and call in political favors. The former prosecutor-turned-Epstein-associates-lawyer became a federal magistrate. That same magistrate, Bruce Reinhart, later authorized the Mar-a-Lago raid. …”
Well, okay, but …could we see just even ONE Satanic pedophile, pleeeeze? That’s what we were promised, and…I’d just like to see for myself. Y’know, scientific curiosity ‘n’ all.
