Epstein-itis

"If you tolerate the intolerable, you’re communicating that it’s okay to mistreat you." —Aimee Terese on X.

Did you think the American zeitgeist — our collective spirit plus our thinking — could not get crazier? Gird your loins. It’s getting worse by the hour. The Jeffrey Epstein files suggest that people will do anything and that people will believe anything. Pizza, hot dogs, white sharks. . . boys, girls, babies, teens, Russian ---res. . . celebrities by the score. . . billionaires. . . cannibal orgies. . . vivisection parlors. . . adrenochrome. . . blood. . . dead bodies. . . demon worship. . . a depraved and insane global leadership. . . lemme outa here!

I don’t know what’s real in Epstein and what’s not — but neither do you. What you ought to know is that the colossal inventory of Epstein files is perhaps the greatest instrument of mass mind-----ery ever seen in the history of Western Civ. How interesting, too, that the deluge of material coincides exactly with the critical capability emergence of Artificial Intelligence as a tool for the manipulation of documentary evidence. And also consider all the years since 2019 that interested parties have had to mess with, destroy, possibly fabricate, and catalog all this stuff.

Apparently, the Woke-Jacobin-Marxist eruption was not enough to destabilize the consensus about reality. The absurdities you were asked to swallow about all-women-are-women-including-men. . . the police killed George Floyd. . . mostly peaceful riots. . . the vaccine is safe and effective. . . the free-est, fairest elections ever. . . “Joe Biden” is president. . . the border is secure. . . speaking English is white supremacy — did not push America deeply enough into Crazyland. More was required to completely demolish your sense of an ordered world.

Donald Trump was correct, at least, that releasing the Epstein files would bring on more chaos than clarity and impede the effort to get our country back on the rails with an economic engine based on the production of goods instead of financialized hyper-casino voodoo. Well, now we’re in a maelstrom of innuendo, code-talk, gossip, and redaction, and you can hardly begin to sort it out. The Attorney General of the USA, bless her heart, has already botched the management of this monster.

Epstein’s relations with Israel and its Mossad intel blob, along with his connections to global banking interests, have aroused the zestiest breakout of antipathy to Jews since the SS busied itself loading the crematoriums of Europe. Hatred of Jews is a recurring symptom of civilization distress. But it is also possible that Israel has behaved badly — and it is certain that many political intellectuals are reevaluating the way that nation was established after World War Two. To some degree, Israel has become a paranoid state (though even paranoiacs have real enemies).

Where does that go from here? Thoughtful people are pessimistic. For sure, they resent the money and influence seeded by Israel in the US Congress. They might be concerned as well about all the other interests pounding money into American politics. Grift is everywhere, and everyone can see it now. The looming end of the grift orgy is probably behind the Democratic Party’s current psychotic disposition. Having lost its 20th century base of factory workers, the party has had to work the extreme margins of American life to build a coalition of the feckless, the reckless, the brainless, and the shameless. They have become the party’s wards in a reimagined patronage system even more pernicious than the old one under characters like Boss Tweed and Mayor Richard Daley-the-First of Chicago.

The Democratic Party can’t win elections without rigging them and it’s astonishing that they’ve gotten away with building such sturdy armature of ballot fraud in plain sight with next to zero objection from the supposed guardians in officialdom. The features of it are so arrant that a political class with any sense or dignity would have laughed it straight into the criminal courts — and its perps straight into the penitentiary. The fraud became especially acute with the 2020 and 2022 elections. It is about to be revealed in the troves of evidence extracted lately from Fulton County, GA, and presently from Maricopa County, AZ. These birds are cooked. Not a few people will eventually go to jail over these shenanigans. And meanwhile, the SAVE Act pulsates in the Senate like a lump of kryptonite.

Now, you may realize that a political party based entirely on socially marginal persons — many of them mentally ill — will adopt a roster of ideas and policies that are patently marginal, which is to say, crazy. The party elders are now straining to eliminate some of that. Last week, Barack Obama unloaded on California Governor Gavin Newsom’s botched handling of the state’s epic homeless crisis. “We should recognize that the average person doesn’t want to have to navigate around a tent city in the middle of downtown,” the ex-president said in an interview with progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen.

Hillary Clinton, dropping in on the Munich Security Conference, said, amazingly, “There is a legitimate reason to have a debate about things like migration. It went too far, it’s been disruptive and destabilizing. . .” before tossing in some Woke word-salad: “. . . and it needs to be fixed in a humane way with secure borders that don’t torture and kill people and how we’re going to have a strong family structure because it is at the base of civilization.” Say, what. . . ?

But then, poor Hillary, who can’t help being a Cluster-B psycho, turned up moderating a panel at the same Munich meet-up to take up the issue: “Girls Just Want to Have Fundamental Rights: Fighting the Global Pushback.“ To nail down her point, Hillary brought onstage as the featured speaker, Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE), known previously as Tim McBride, a man. The insanity is, of course, self-evident. The take-away from all this. They’re not trying hard enough to get their minds right.

And in the meantime, America and the other nations of Western Civ, must contend with the gigantic trip laid on them that is the Epstein files. We know the newspapers and cable news channels are hopeless. Is there anyone or any sense-making institution that can usher us through this nightmare back into the daylight?

“”The state of New Mexico tried to investigate. The Feds claimed jurisdiction and forced them to stand down. Then did nothing.”””

The Feds can’t force a state to stop investigating a state crime. Why did Biden/ Garland shut this down? Why weren’t the democrats dragging out the “survivors” during that time frame? Why didn’t the “survivors” just name names? Now they blame Bondi for not going after people that they won’t name. It’s a coverup by AG Bondi, right?

A name in the files means nothing.

I never said it did. I simply answered your question as to why Democrats weren't pursuing it, which is obviously because it was all Democrats who were involved. I have no idea what your red herring about Whoopi is either. Are you saying she's NOT a Democrat?

Who have the democrats arrested during the 20 years this went on?

Why did you just ask this again after I just answered it? It's clear that Democrats were protecting other Democrats. Thankfully, since some of the accused have claimed to have switched over to being Republican, the Democrats are finally interested in investigating, too.

Why haven’t any of the State AG’s arrested anyone since most of this consists of state crimes?

They tried, in at least New Mexico, if not other states, but were told to stand down by the Feds, who then stopped the investigation. These are the types of details that are just now coming to light. Why are you trying to make it go away, when the truth is just now starting to be found out?

“””Why are you trying to make it go away, when the truth is just now starting to be found out? “”

The only truth coming out is that Trump did nothing wrong. We already knew that because if he had we would have heard about it a million times since he first ran for office.

What would AG Bondi charge anyone with after all these years?

The Feds can’t force a state to stop investigating a state crime.

ROFL! They can and do claim jurisdiction all the time. It's basically impossible for a state to continue to investigate once the Feds claim privilege of all the evidence. We just saw this play out with the deaths by ICE in Minnesota. Who you trying to kid here?

So these Epstein crimes apparently happened in many states.
You , and your conspiracy theory friends, are saying every State AG was told to stand down. And they all did even when Trump was in office the first time.

That’s a cool story.

The only truth coming out is that Trump did nothing wrong.

That appears to be the case, but we're learning that none of the main perps like Les Wexner have never even been interrogated before, so it's too soon to make any assumptions about anything.

We already knew that because if he had we would have heard about it a million times since he first ran for office.

Again likely, but if the information is being used for blackmail, as even Howard Lutnick admitted, whoever is controlling it might want to keep it sealed, to continue the coercion. It's not like the Democrats could have pulled out Trump's involvement, and present that alone, and continued to protect all the other Democrats who were involved, either.

What would AG Bondi charge anyone with after all these years?

That's what we're trying to find out. Britain just arrested a Prince, for the first time in like 500 years over this same scandal. All the reasons why still aren't publicly known. Why are you wanting it all shut down so badly? Just be honest how about.

You, and your conspiracy theory friends, are saying every State AG was told to stand down.

There's no evidence, zip, that Pam Bondi as AG of Florida ever investigated Epstein's crimes in Florida. Zero. Why is that? He was right there running his operation right under her nose. She was AG for 8 years! Either she stood down, or failed at the job, which is it?

“””That’s what we’re trying to find out. Britain just arrested a Prince, for the first time in like 500 years over this same scandal. All the reasons why still aren’t publicly known. Why are you wanting it all shut down so badly? Just be honest how about. “”””

Britain arrested a few for apparently giving secrets to Epstein. Sounds like treason to me. Why didn’t they do this years ago? Because the democrats kept it secret.

Tell me why the democrats, who have had control of all this for 20 years, never arrested anyone.

What would AG Bondi charge anyone with now after so many years?

Why didn’t these “survivors” name names years ago?

“There’s no evidence, zip, that Pam Bondi as AG of Florida ever investigated Epstein’s crimes in Florida. Zero. Why is that?”

It’s because she was too busy prosecuting George Zimmerman for killing poor widdle Trayvon Martin, innocent Skittles-eating child.

Tell me why the democrats, who have had control of all this for 20 years, never arrested anyone.

Starting to appear that you're an AI bot. What else would ask the same, silly, deflective question, over and over again, like a broken record. A bot might, for sure, if we've reached the extent of its programming.

So in the name of a scientific experiment, I'll answer again, and see if the bot still manages to ask the same exact question again, later.

Democrats didn't investigate Epstein, because it was all Democrats involved, originally. Some of those Democrats now claim to be Republican, and are in powerful positions, which is why the Democrats are suddenly interested. Even put Trump to the side if you want. The Democrats were protecting Democrats.

“””There’s no evidence, zip, that Pam Bondi as AG of Florida ever investigated Epstein’s crimes in Florida. Zero. Why is that? He was right there running his operation right under her nose. She was AG for 8 years! Either she stood down, or failed at the job, which is it? “”””

Epstein was convicted in Florida in 2008, before Bondi. Did the State AG in New York, where Epstein lived, ever do anything in the last 20 years? Why do you conspiracy theorists focus only on AG Bondi? What did Garland ever do? What did obammys DOJ ever do? President Trump was able to arrest both Epstein and Maxwell while his own FBI, CIA and DOJ were trying to destroy him. They didn’t want Epstein in jail, they wanted Trump in jail.

Then Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi deferred to the Feds, a sensible decision as the Epstein case involved interstate and foreign commerce, which is Federal jurisdiction. During the first Epstein arrest in 2006, Charlie Crist, later Florida governor, was the state attorney general and, like Bondi, deferred to the Feds. Keep in mind that most of Epstein's "business" activities took place in New York, New Mexico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Paris, France.

While not defending Bondi's actions as U.S. Attorney General, her decision and that of her predecessor to let the Feds deal with this matter make sense.

Epstein was convicted in Florida in 2008, before Bondi.

So what? He got a sweetheart deal, so corrupt, that they re-arrested him in like 2018. All that time she was the AG of Florida. What's your excuse for why she wasn't investigating as state AG, for all those years? Maybe because the Feds were? That's the best excuse she has. So your little rabbit hole about state AG's has run dry.

“””Starting to appear that you’re an AI bot. What else would ask the same, silly, deflective question, over and over again, like a broken record. A bot might, for sure, if we’ve reached the extent of its programming. “””

I’m not an AI bot. I’m an uneducated deplorable.
I was hoping one of you geniuses could explain a few simple things for me.

Why are you democrats blaming AG Bondi for everything when you controlled these files for over 20 years and did nothing?

Why are the democrats bringing some Epstein “survivors” to the State of the Union speech? Weird, right? Especially since it is the democrats who never prosecuted any of the guys who allegedly violated these women. Now that the statute of limitations ran out long ago they will blame
Trump.

Why didn’t any other State AG in any other state arrest anyone? That Lex Wexner guy is from New York. You should send a note to Leticia James and tell her to get on it.

Name anyone in the Epstein orbit that was convicted by a democrat.

It says it started in the 1990’s when Clinton was President.
He was a good friend of Epstein. Why didn’t his DOJ nail him for it? Why didn’t obammys DOJ nail him.

Trump nailed him.

“”In 2006, Jeffrey Epstein was arrested and later convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor, which resulted in a plea deal that led to an 18-month jail sentence. This conviction was part of a controversial agreement that allowed him to avoid federal charges despite serious allegations of sex trafficking involving underage girls.””
