When did that happen?

As someone who remembers the Cold War, I don't recall that ever being part of the propaganda.

white supremacist and supporting Nazis. Never mind that Nazis killed some of Putin's family and 27 million Russians. The Russia phobia is out of control in the people who buy into Russia Gate. Every thing that goes wrong in this country is because Putin is trying to tear it down. Did you see Harris tried to blame Kaepernick kneeling on Russia?

@snoopydawg with 'Fascism'. Makes no sense. Other than at the extremes both are capable of horrific behavior.

Thanks for the Webb reports. I've followed the links and read them. What interests me is that having read 'The Devil's Chessboard' by David Talbot, all this picks right up from the last part of his book. Many of the same players, some still stirring the sauce today.

NPR or BBC during our night time interviewed a rep from Florida or some place where Epstein had a smaller compound/house. She was saying almost all the things being said here. Her lede was "Is this a surprise?" People are speculating out loud. This happened too quickly and to blatantly. Sloppy.

She indicated the lawsuits should somehow go foreward. Asked who she would trust to carry out further investigations, she struggled to name any agency or person.

It was Lois Frankel D-Florida. Here is a YT of an earlier MSNBC interview with her on Epstein. Apparently the Women's Caucus have been following this case for awhile and asking questions.

Gaslight Nation: A History of Reality Management in the 21st Century

Shit is bizarre, right now, and we're being told it's normal. On nearly all fronts.

I can't help but see it as national gaslighting. What are we supposed to make of this as a people? Our collective consciousness is completely fractured - and it has been done deliberately - we're being challenged on what reality even is, at multiple levels at once.

Man, do I wish I had cookie crumbs to all the important pieces I've read over the years... This Suskind piece is one that I often recall, special thanks to c99p for the push to return to it:

The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."
https://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/17/magazine/faith-certainty-and-the-pres...

That's life in America. The reality of Jeffrey Epstein, child trafficker to the Masters of the Universe, will be whatever they say it is. And if you don't like it, you're a Russian Troll trafficking in Conspiracy Theories.

Deep fakes were an inoculation or vaccine for any Epstein cooties that might escape his untimely "suicide". And I'm quite tempted to write Arkancide, but that would make me a Russian Troll.

“Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.” ~ Sun Tzu

@k9disc @k9disc @k9disc
There are, we presume a lot, maybe hundreds, of wealthy and powerful people who were facing exposure in the Epstein affair. Singling out the Clintons because you have a particular hate-on for them is itself not reality-based, it's just promoting the people whom you most want to have been responsible to the top of the list, and then crossing out the rest of the list.

Mind you, despite being normally very skeptical about the CT-du-jour, I think in this case the most likely truth is indeed that someone had JE removed from the scene. Among other outcomes, I'm guessing that there are some dozens of 20-something and 30-something women out there who suddenly sense that their own continued breath-drawing is precarious and is possibly conditional on certain choices they might make.

In any case, it hardly matters -- we will never know who gave the order, if such an order was in fact given, so there's no real point in fervently speculating. About all we can do is push for a full investigation, the absence of a defendant notwithstanding. I note that [EDIT, i typed the wrong name] Ms. Giuffre is suing Dershowitz for defamation. Dershowitz is an arrogant, merciless, meanspirited motherfucker, and a very successful trial lawyer, but discovery is as discovery does. It will be interesting to see what comes out of all this. I find it interesting that both Mitchell and Richardson deny having ever met Giuffre -- as if she would have ever even heard of either of them, had they not. I don't know what Dershowitz has said, but whatever it is I presume it's a lie. The notion that she would have somehow come up with such a random hodgepodge of individuals (Pritzker and Prince Andrew etc) without ever having interacted with them is not credible.

"attempted" murder is the bit I don't understand.

Epstein is dead. If someone other Epstein caused that result, wouldn't that make it murder, not merely attempted murder?

@on the cusp I was a personal injury attorney for 35 years. All I did for essentially my whole career except for a few odd cases here and there.

This reminds me of JP Morgan whom everyone believed was outrageously wealthy. When he died he didn't have a tenth of what people thought. And in Epstein's case, if he had money, it would not be onshore. Good luck finding what he had if he had any which I doubt.

But the civil suits will be fini if it turns out his financials do not support his persona.

@on the cusp To run this kind of a honey pot operation all you have to do is appear to be who you are. How he made his billions seems to be a real mystery, the assumption being it was from a criminal enterprise of some sort. So I feel sure the wealth persona was a sham.

And having no assests just shuts down any civil suits that would have been taken on a contingency. And of course he can not be compelled to testify now. All by design.

So all the evidence he had for blackmail on all of these powerful people is still in the hands of his handlers and these powerful people are still subject to blackmail and under the control of those with the evidence.

@davidgmillsatty He's a trained shrink and involved in intelligence for forty plus years. He helped develop programs of interrogation (not water-boarding, which is both crude and unreliable). This means, he has personally interrogated subjects. That he was largely successful at this must be inferred from his lengthy intelligence career.

@davidgmillsatty the more they stay the same.
I guess it is possible to pursue it against his estate, although a little pre-trial discovery is sure to show he had nothing.
I usually do certain property searches that are of public record, and if I can't find anything that can be forfeited to pay the judgment, I decline to go forward.
In all likelihood, it is all over, case closed, and yes, the handlers still have the info.
The only positive I can come up with is that the victims can sue Bill Richardson, Dershowitz, etc...and Epstein will not be around to deny, deny, deny.

@on the cusp That might actually work to their benefit. Epstein would presumably support their positions, but if he was thoroughly cross-examined and demolished, it could hurt them even more. The old addage is that you win cases on cross-exam. And on cross-exam if he had not held up, they would have been implicated by one of their own.

How many stories are now going to not be talked about while the media talks about this for as long as they need to? It sure seems like every time something big happens here something else comes along and knocks it off the news.

CTSM has a great point. Watch how the media covers the part of story that is about the names dump that just happened and the fact that lots of people knew about Epstein's sex trafficking and yet did nothing.

Some guy on a Twitter feed said there would be a video released and replies stated there was a malfunction. Another convenient coincidence.

Like dueling banjos, #ClintonBodyCount -vs- #TrumpBodyCount arguments are taking place on Reddit. Some claim the "trending" algorithm is skewed based on one's political leanings in their user history. Folks are arguing over who is the bigger pedo -- Bill or Donald. It's a shitfest. Same shit, different day. Red -vs- Blue. Both are evil scumbags, but most only see one side as evil while their side is pure as the driven snow.

"Trump put Barr in charge so he could off Epstein and protect himself because Trump partied with the guy."

People who want this to go away or pin it on the bogeyman on the other side of the aisle, are missing a REALLY big point.

All those markers are STILL there. The evil trafficking scheme and the people who run it are most likely still in place and they still have the goods on global leadership.

Epstein was the help, not the evil genius. Our politicians - even the bogeymen are the help, not the bosses.

Here are two articles on Epstein's death that are either conspiracy theories or not..

Epstein Gate 1

Lots of links in it.

Epstein Gate 2

Epstein Gate is connected to PedoGate

This talks about why he was arrested in the first place too, but it comes with a different motive. The attempted suicide a few weeks ago was just a psyops to get people to accept that he kills himself.

They make as much sense as anything else I've read about him. My burning question is why was he arrested in the first place after all this time? Epstein Gate 1 thinks it was to put pressure on Trump.

in post-war history also (cough) committed suicide in Stammheim, the “most secure prison block in the world” . . .

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Stammheim+suicide+Baader+Ensslin

http://www.baader-meinhof.com/death-night/

According to German authorities Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin, and Jan-Carl Raspe all committed suicide in their Stammheim prison cells early on the morning of 18 October 1977. It is perhaps understandable that many Germans had trouble believing them. The Red Army Faction cell block had been described over the previous five years as the most secure prison block in the world. The press had been full of accounts of lawyers being searched for almost an hour before being allowed to visit their clients. So when it was announced that Baader and Raspe had shot themselves with two guns that they had smuggled into their cells, after listening to reports of the failed Mogadishu hijacking on smuggled radios, and communicating with each other through an clever “phone” system utilizing unused electrical wires between the cells, many Germans were clearly incredulous, and remain so to this day. Indeed, it is an article of faith among German leftists that the were murdered by the state.

. . .

This subject is still serious business in Germany. Quite recently the publisher of a semi-underground newsletter was fined over $1,000 for saying that Baader, Ensslin, and Raspe were murdered. Clearly the modern German state, with memories of their Nazi past in its head, does not like to be accused of murdering its own citizens.
