Joseph Biden Is ACTUALLY Guilty Of What Adam "Shifty" Schiff Accuses Trump Of

The Democratic Party has lost its collective mind.

Again.

First it was the Russiagate hoax they put us all through. Now it's a phone call Trump made asking the Ukrainian president's help in investigating what should be a scandal around the Democratic Party establishment's and corporate media's favorite candidate for president in 2020, the segregationist Joseph R. Biden.

Democratic Party Congressman and chair of the House "Intelligence" Committee Adam Schiff says that Trump is the same as a Mafia boss and he extorted the Ukrainian president, even though the transcript of Trump's phone call to that president shows no such thing. Schiff says it doesn't have to be explicit to be extortion. In fact, there isn't even a veiled threat in the call, as described in notes prepared by the various apparatchiks who monitored it. Trump wanted Ukraine's help in getting to the bottom of how then-vice president Joseph Biden's smarmy son, Hunter, got a plum position on the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma and a cool $3 million payday.


Trump delayed delivering military equipment to Ukraine for a few days. This is something the Dems call "impeachable."

You know how many times U.S. presidents have held up Congressional appropriations?

LOTS.

Or misdirected the monies, as Trump is doing to build his border wall.

Or "abused" presidential power for personal ends, as the current agit-propaganda is screeching is grounds for impeachment. No other president has ever done THAT, RIGHT?

What a crock.

Bill Clinton bombed other countries to distract attention from the Monica Lewinsky scandal! He actually KILLED people!


I'll bet EVERY U.S. president has used his powers for personal ends!

And at least some vice presidents.

In 2014, when Joseph Biden was vice president under president Barack "The Drone Assassin" Obama, Biden ACTUALLY threatened the Ukrainian government with cutting off U.S. aid unless that country's chief prosecutor was fired. That prosecutor was looking into the strange case of Hunter Biden's extraordinary good fortune.

The prosecutor was duly given the axe. Biden says it was because he was corrupt. But EVERYONE in the Ukrainian government was and is corrupt. Including the former prime minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, who was hand-picked by State Department apparatchik Victoria Nuland and installed following the coup the Obama regime instigated.

Schiff is a completely unethical and dishonest mountebank who distinguished himself during the years-long Russiagate hoax as one of the worst liars and fake conspiracy mongers in the Democratic Party. A stream of false assertions and slanderous innuendoes poured forth from his mouth. Actually facts bounce off his bulletproof exterior. This political cyborg does a poor imitation of a human being.

 

The eminently trustworthy The Honorable Adam Schiff. 

This is the same scam the Democrats pulled when their damning emails were revealed by WikiLeaks in 2016. With the crucial help of their corporate media and Deep State secret police allies, the Democrats suppressed the content of the emails and made the "issue" one of "RUSSIA ATTACKED OUR DEMOCRACY!" (Russia actually wasn't the source of the emails, but never mind.) True information was ignored and replaced by an ongoing hoax claiming Trump was a Russian puppet.

This time, the important facts- that the son of vice president Biden got an incredible favor he could not have possibly gotten on his own merits, which demands an explanation- are once again being ignored in favor of a ginned up fake scandal.

I see nothing wrong with asking a foreign government to investigate such a matter. Foreign governments are enlisted in U.S. investigations all the time. And why is getting information on a candidate from outside U.S. borders an impermissible "interference" in a U.S. election? It makes no difference where facts come from as long as they are true!

Another thing that is being treated as a grave violation of "normal procedures" and impeachable is that the notes of the phone call were stored in a highly classified system. 

So fucking what?

Every year, millions of documents are "classified" just to keep the public from knowing what the government is up to!

Nancy Pelosi, the Democrats leader in the House of Representatives, had the nerve to say that Trump did that to hide something.

Unlike Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State setting up a private email server to HIDE ALL HER MESSAGES!

The hypocrisy and double-standards of this latest absurd campaign to oust Trump is mind-bending. And it's being done instead of attacking Trump for the actual horrible things he does.

But the Democrats actually agree with almost all of those things. If not all of them. Backing Saudi Arabia and Israel to the hilt, trying to overthrow the Venezuelan government (both Pelosi and Charles "Upchuck" Schumer, the Senate Democrats leader, have publicly cheerleaded for that subversion), giant tax cuts for the rich and big corporations, and more.

The Democrats haven't even defended abortion rights or Planned Parenthood. Trump cut off their Federal funds without a peep from the Democrats.

Despite the fact that most of the propaganda system and the secret police Deep State is arrayed against him, Trump is going to win this one. So if he gets reelected, as seems more probable than ever, the blame should go to the Democrats and their enablers.

Trump Not Bombing Iran Is Like Nixon Going To China

After the U.S. establishment has pretty much blamed Iran for a drone and cruise missile attack on a Saudi Arabian petroleum processing facility last weekend, and Trump blustered that the U.S. was "locked and loaded," (a firearms term meaning ready to fire), and the always belligerent Secretary of State Michael "Spawn of the Koch Brothers" Pompeo spent every day furiously spewing invective against Iran, the military response ordered by Trump is pretty restrained. More U.S. forces are being rushed to the area, but in an explicitly defensive role- to try and intercept any future aerial attacks on Saudi Arabia.

We should not attribute this to any pacifism on Trump's part. It is strictly his own personal self-interest that guides his decisions here, as in all matters. The truth is, outside of the lairs of the ruling elite in the capital city of the empire, Washington, D.C., and the digs of the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City, and places like the arch-reactionary Hoover Institute at Stanford University in California, pretty much everyone else in the U.S. is against more U.S. wars. Even Trump's nationalistic base is opposed. Why? The Iraq war is the answer. The American public was duped (most of them) by a gigantic propaganda campaign by the regime of Bush the Younger and the corporate media that was a pack of putrid lies from start to finish. That illegal aggression fractured Iraq and produced a chaotic situation, eventually leading to a near-takeover of the country by ISIS, an Islamofascist entity more fanatical, ruthless, and murderous than Al-Qaeda.


In a sense it was a repeat of history, but not as farce, but a repetition of tragedy.  Woodrow Wilson lured the public into World War I on false pretenses, and after that war the U.S. public was revolted by the idea of ever fighting another war in Europe- so strong was the revulsion that until the Japanese Empire bombed Pearl Harbor and Adolf Hitler declared war on the U.S., very few in the U.S. saw a reason to get involved against the Axis Powers that were running wild. There were even Congressional hearings targeting war profiteers.

The same thing happened after the Iraq invasion and occupation fiasco. Plus there is a seemingly endless war in Afghanistan. The U.S. has been at war for the 18 years since the arranged "attack" of 9/11/01.

If Trump's base thirsted for Iranian blood, you can bet Trump would feed them some. But fortunately they don't. So no aggressive military response (which would be the "normal" U.S. reaction to such a "challenge") coupled with tightening the economic noose around Iran's neck.

So how is that like Nixon going to China? Simple. Because the Democratics always have to prove they're "tough," whereas it is taken for granted that the Republicans are, the Democrats cannot be "soft on communism" (or "terrorism" or whatever), as Republicans habitually accuse them of being. The Democrats have the political albatross of "Liberalism" hung around their necks, an epithet that connotes softness, weakness, appeasement. (Including appeasing poor people with crumbs, which the GOP- Gang Of  Plunderers- would cut off entirely.)

Thus it required a Republican, and one with a long record of being "tough on communism" going back to 1949 (Nixon was so "tough" that he painted his Democratic opponents for House of Representatives and later for U.S. Senate as "pink" and "red," and won) to "open" to China, that is, to stop refusing to recognize the fact that the party of Mao ruled the country, not the fascist Nationalist Party of Chiang Kai-Shek, the general/warlord exiled with his gang to the island of Formosa (Taiwan). In other words, only the Republican Party felt politically able to behave rationally.



 It is the same with Trump and Iran. He is able to resist the pressure from the pro-war bloc, including inside the Party. A Democrat would at least have a much harder time doing so.

So Trump is avoiding a ruinous war. He saw how the Iraq war harmed the Bush presidency. Although since the invasion was in 2003 and Bush ran for reelection in 2004, the shit hadn't really hit the fan yet. As it was, the GOP stole the 2004 election by stealing Ohio, without whose Electoral College votes Bush would have lost to fellow Skull and Bonesman John Kerry. (Skull and Bones is a secret society for rich Yale University students who were born into the ruling class of the U.S.) Trump needs, above all else, to win reelection next year, so he can run out the clock of the statute of limitations on various criminal charges he is vulnerable to.

The Crafty Emperor Alienates Not His Base

 

Saudis Slaughtering Yemenis for 5 Years? Big YAWN. Yemenis retaliate against Saudi oil field? TIME TO FREAK OUT!!!

The political elites of the "Western world" (the U.S.-bossed capitalist bloc) and their propagandists have hit one of their disgusting low points of moral depravity and dishonesty in the aftermath of a successful attack on the main Saudi petroleum processing facility by Houthi tribe militia in Yemen, who claimed responsibility for the attack by drones. This has temporarily knocked out half of Saudi Arabia's crude oil processing capacity. The Saudis currently sell 5.7 million barrels of oil a day (although they have capacity to sell considerably more) in a world market whose daily oil consumption is 100 million barrels. Currently the U.S. and Russia are the top two exporters.

According to the propaganda campaign launched in the immediate aftermath of the attack by the Western media, politicians, and government officials, the attack wasn't an attack on Saudi Arabia, retaliation for five years of war crimes against the people of Yemen. No, it's "an attack on the world's energy supply." That's even more hyperbolic and hysterical than the other phrase the world's capitalist propagandists are ALL using, "the world's oil supply." You'd think the whole world was a communist society and we all own the oil in Saudi Arabia. Last time I checked, it's the Saudi "royal" family that owns it. (They call themselves a "government" of course.) All the world's capitalist media immediately fell into line behind Trump's Secretary of State Michael Pompeo, parroting this line. [1]

The effect of this terminology is to paint the Houthis, who are at a huge military disadvantage to the U.S.-backed Saudis attacking Yemen for the past five years, as the enemies of all humanity. It's "our" energy supply viciously attacked by "Iranian-backed" Houthis, Iran being a Demon Nation ever since 1979, when the U.S.-installed dictator of Iran, the so-called "Shah" ("King") was overthrown. Overthrowing a U.S. dictator is like spitting in the eye of America. How DARE you!

Far from an attack on "the world," on all of us, the Houthis unintentionally did the world, did all humanity, a FAVOR. Burning fossil fuels is causing a disaster by raising the temperature of our home planet! And if there's fear of an oil "shortage," TRUMP could alleviate that by the stroke of a pen by allowing two of the world's largest oil-producing countries, IRAN and VENEZUELA, to SELL THEIR OIL! (Venezuela has the world's largest oil reserves, NOT Saudi Arabia.) So this "crisis" is totally BOGUS. (The excited elite chattering about it died down in only 2 days. And all they cared about was money.)


Pompeo, a loathsome political creature created by the political machine of the malign billionaire Koch brothers of Kansas; a neo-fascist slug who has publicly called for the execution of Edward Snowden; immediately blamed the attack on Iran. This was predictable. If someone threw a brick through Pompeo's window, he'd blame Iran.

Pompeo is the guy who, after the vile Saudi tyrant, "Crown Prince" Mohammed bin Salman, ordered the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, who was butchered inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, dismembered like an animal in an abattoir, and his body parts smuggled out, immediately ran to Riyadh to conspire with Salman about how to get Salman out of the jam he'd created for himself. (The Trump regime didn't even make Salman come to then!) Ever since, Trump and Pompeo have done their best to obfuscate Salman's obvious guilt.


Here they are, just after the shit hit the fan from the Khashoggi murder:

Pompeo and Salman. Salman and Pompeo. I love you Bro! -I love you too!

The attack on the petroleum facility occurred over the weekend, when the markets on which parasitic speculators set the price of oil by their trading of futures and options contracts are closed. But 24 hours a day, bid and ask prices are still posted. Before markets opened on Monday, futures indicated a 20% rise in the two benchmark oil prices, the Brent crude oil price and the West Texas Intermediary oil price. (Typically Brent trades higher than Texas.) But when trading actually began, the prices were up only 8%. Later in the day they hovered 10% higher. But that is still LOWER than the price was in late 2018. Finally oil closed up 15% on the day. And in any event, oil has languished between $50 and $60 a barrel for several years, after its crash from about $120, a crash deliberately engineered by Saudi Arabia, ostensibly aimed at putting U.S. shale oil producers out of business (which it didn't do) but really aimed at inflicting severe economic damage on Russia and Venezuela (which it DID do, especially Venezuela). Both those nations are heavily dependent on oil exports, and both have been targets of ongoing attack by the U.S. for years now. [2]

Needless to say, the U.S. and the Saudi "royal' family frequently engage in nefarious conspiracies together, one of the most notorious being the destruction of the World Trade Center twin towers on September 11, 2001, under the guise of an Al-Qaeda aerial attack with hijacked planes. [3]

Pompeo, Trump, the Democratic and Republican members of Congress, and U.S. corporate media propagandists are not exactly the most reliable folks in matters involving Iran. Remember the last time the U.S., Pompeo, Trump, the "leaders" of both parties and any political hack who could get on TV, and the entire U.S. corporate propaganda system asserted as fact that Iran committed an "attack"? It was the damage inflicted on a Japanese and a Norwegian tanker. Even though that was definitely refuted, they still pretend it's true. [4]

These are people who are totally untrustworthy, with zero credibility. But probably Iran at least supplied the weapons. And who knows? Maybe even launched the attack themselves. But Pompeo had no proof of that in the immediate aftermath- or the U.S. military would have surely provided it.

The true context for this, the 5 year long war against the people of Yemen by Saudi Arabia, which would not be possible without U.S. support, from both the Obama and Trump regimes, is totally ignored. That is what is fundamentally dishonest about the media "coverage," which thus must be seen as propaganda, not news.

The numerous atrocities of the Saudis, using their U.S. weaponry, have been virtually ignored by Western, and especially U.S. media. (Britain, that awful relic of an evil empire, is also a major arms supplier to the Saudis.) Without U.S. weaponry, and U.S. targeting information, and even U.S. refueling craft for Saudi jets, which Obama provided, the Saudi war on Yemen would not be possible. The Saudis have slaughtered tens of thousands of Yemenis directly. They have created famine conditions for millions of Yemenis. (The UN's aid organizations have repeatedly avowed this.) They have blockaded Yemen, starving the populace, making medicines unavailable. (Bombing hospitals and clinics doesn't help either.) The world's largest cholera epidemic has been created in Yemen by the Saudis. (And their Western imperialist enablers.) (For more on the background of the current situation in Yemen, see footnote [5] below.)

None of this is to endorse the Houthis. But clearly the Yemenis should have to sort out their rivalries amongst themselves. As for Iran being the instigator, in fact it was the former longtime dictator, Ali Abdullah Saleh, who formed a temporary alliance with the Houthis and egged them on to rebel. Iran saw an opportunity, or wanted to stop the Saudis installing the ruler the Houthis had just overthrown back in power as a Saudi client/puppet.

 

 A picture is worth a thousand words, especially words citing statistics. "Six milion Jews died in the Holocaust has nowhere near the emotional impact of a photo of skeletal concentration camp inmates, standing behind barbed wire, or a pile of their desiccated corpses. So here are three photos from Yemen in place of 3,000 words:

This Yemeni child was starved to death by the U.S. and Saudi Arabia. 

 

 

 Here's another of the countless thousands of children murdered by the 

U.S. and Saudi Arabia. Reminiscent of Nazi concentration camp victims.

 

Sometimes it's more satisfying to kill children quickly, instead of having to wait for them to die slow, agonizing deaths that take months. This school bus was bombed by the Saudis, flying the jets the U.S. happily sold them (Obama and Trump both), dropping those fabulously accurate U.S. precision bombs. 51 died, 40 of them schoolchildren. That was in August, 2018. Still waiting for some war crime indictments.

It is an illustration of the utterly cynical and callous nature of "global politics" or "international relations" or "statesmanship" (the preferred term of the mass murderer Henry Kissinger) that causing so much human suffering isn't given a second thought in the pursuit of greater power by those who rule.

The U.S. (and other) media have spent the past five years of Saudi atrocities barely mentioning any of it. They've also done a bang-up job keeping the American public ignorant of the U.S. role in providing the essential tools of mass murder. But the U.S. is constantly victimizing poor people all over the planet. This fits the pattern of U.S. global class warfare. The U.S. has also directly killed civilians in Yemen, both by aerial bombings and in raids by "special" forces.

When I say that U.S. elites are immoral and despicable, that is something they themselves prove to be true every day.


"The" media is already pushing the Saudis' line that the drone strike came from Iraq or Iran, not Yemen. And maybe it was missiles, they're saying. Oh, and the drone parts are Iranian. (Probably are, as Iran has been helping the Houthis.)

Trump immediately expectorated some tough-guy bluster, declaring the U.S. "locked and loaded," and only waiting word from Saudi Arabia to confirm Iran did it to presumably pull the trigger. The same Saudi Arabia that has been trying for years (along with Israel) to goad the U.S. into starting a war on Iran. Gee. I wonder what the Saudis are gonna determine happened!

Thank heavens he fired John Bolton!

 The "Crown Prince" that swallowed the Superpower.

1] A day later, The Invisible Man, the nitwit former Texas Governor whom Trump picked to be Secretary of Energy, belatedly got in on the act, putting in his two cents which immediately sank to the bottom of the media pool without a trace. Said Rick Perry: "Make no mistake about it. This was a deliberate attack on the global economy, and the energy market." This is the same guy who campaigned for the presidency on a platform promising to abolish the cabinet Department he now heads. 

Actually, Tex, I think it was an attack on the Saudi Arabian regime.

2] Stocks on Monday, the first trading day after the attack, declined modestly.  The  S & P 500 index (500 major public companies) declined 0.3%, the Nasdaq (several thousand companies) declined about a quarter of one percent, and the Dow Industrial Average (a mere 30 stocks) fell about one-half percent. The following day, Tuesday, September 17, oil actually FELL $3. Wholesale gasoline is up 20 cents, 1-3 cents at the pump. Word is the Saudis will have the bombed site back up and running in two weeks.

3]  It would take too long to go into all that here. To start to educate yourself, watch some of the videos put out by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, an organization of over 3,000 architects and engineers who have debunked the nonsense that the towers fell because airplanes crashed into them. Oh, and Number 7 WTC fell straight down in the afternoon. All were the result of controlled demolitions, as you will learn.

4]  In brief, the U.S. claimed Iran planted mines on the sides of the ships. The crew of the Japanese tanker said there WERE no mines, but that flying objects hit their ship. The Japanese Foreign Minister was IN TEHRAN at the time of the attack, meeting with the Ayatollah, trying to help Iran. The U.S. government and the global bourgeois propaganda system would have us believe that Iran was determined to sabotage its OWN DIPLOMACY designed to try and relieve the garrote around Iran's neck that is strangling its economy.All the details, with news videos substantiating the facts, are at "Dishonest U.S. Media Lying U.S. Into Another War of Aggression," June 20, 2019. 

5]  Yemen is the poorest country in the Arab world. A country without a real government, it was ruled for 33 years by a dictator/warlord with the title of "president," Ali Abdullah Saleh. Saleh was happy to play footsie with the Bush and Obama regimes in their "war on terror," pretending that U.S. drone missile assassinations were the work of his military. He also took the opportunity to have political rivals eliminated by U.S. drone strike by telling the U.S. they were "terrorists" and giving them location information. One such attack even made the front page of the Wall Street Journal, which is how I know about this practice of Saleh's. But that changed nothing.

But Saleh came under increasing domestic pressure- which in Yemen means armed resistance, the only thing that counts in Yemen- and the U.S. thought it was time to replace him before he was overthrown. Saleh resisted, but was eventually squeezed out. In November 2011, Saleh signed an agreement to leave power- then reneged on it. Eventually he was forced out in 2012. His successor as "president," Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, one of Saleh's erstwhile cronies,  took over the various rackets that take the place of an actual government in Yemen. In January 2015 the Houthi tribe rebelled, forcing Hadi to flee by shelling his palace. The Saudis decided they wanted Hadi to rule Yemen as their puppet or client, and commenced a war against the Houthis, heavily targeting civilian targets such as apartment buildings, hospitals, mosques, wedding parties, and so on. As of a couple of years ago, retired U.S. army colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, the top aide to then-Secretary of State Colin Powell in the Bush II regime, asserted that 5,000 of 15,000 Saudi aerial bombings were of civilian targets.  Meanwhile Hadi sits in Riyadh, content to watch "his" people being slaughtered, the country destroyed, waiting to be reinstalled as "president" of Yemen by his Saudi puppet masters.

U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman Waits 3 Weeks To Stop Prosecuting Dead Man Jeffrey Epstein

Apparently the chief Federal prosecutor for the Southern District of New York could hardly bring himself to drop the charges against the corpse of Jeffrey Epstein, currently the World's Most Notorious Sex Offender. ("The" media turned him into that. He wasn't a serial rapist/murderer, for example, which would be a far more worthy object of universal opprobrium, theatrical revulsion, and nonstop vilification.) Berman's office is based in lower Manhattan, along with the largest FBI secret police field office. Berman appeared with the local FBI chief when the two of them announced the new indictment of Epstein in July.

Berman belatedly moved in Federal court for the dismissal of the charges last week, formally submitting the motion for the pro forma approval of a Federal judge, nearly three weeks after Epstein was assassinated in the Federal jail in Manhattan in a fake "suicide." The main reason we know it was murder is from hard physical fact. Epstein's neck was broken, which would have been impossible to occur according to the New York City Medical Examiner's account of his death. According to the M.E., relying in part on the claims of Epstein's jailers, Epstein allegedly tied a bedsheet around his neck and around the post of the upper bunk in his cell, then "knelt forward." You could choke or strangle yourself like that. You couldn't break your neck bone unless you were 90 years old with advanced osteoporosis. Epstein was 66 and apparently in good health. He wasn't frail, and there's no assertion that he had unusually weak bones. The M.E. nevertheless went along with the coverup as one would expect and deemed the death a "suicide."

It's well established that Epstein's "pedophile trafficking" operation was also a blackmail operation being run by an "intelligence service." The U.S. Attorney who prosecuted him in Florida over a decade ago- or rather, who protected him- Alexander Acosta, told the Trump transition team when they were vetting him for the post of Labor Secretary in the Trump regime that he was told to lay off Epstein because Epstein "belonged to intelligence," a nice and ambiguous way of laying a protective cloak over him. Was he an asset? A target? An actual employee or agent of a secret police agency? Part of an ongoing operation? Who knows? it's deliberately vague.

So Acosta crafted a non-prosecution agreement with Epstein's lawyers, lawyers who are heavyweights in the U.S. power structure, including Alan Dershowitz andd Kenneth Starr, the man assigned by the Republican Party to bring down president Bill Clinton. (Ironically, Clinton spent a lot of time with Epstein and his stable of available young females, and Dershowitz admits to getting a "massage" but denies raping a girl under Epstein's control, as the now adult woman claims.) Epstein pled to a minor state charge and had to sleep in a special suite set up for him in the county jail while going to his office during the day, for 13 months. (A discount off the sentence of 18 months. For "good behavior" I suppose.) Acosta broke Federal law by keeping the agreement secret from Epstein's victims instead of notifying them as required. A U.S. Attorney breaking the law- that's another sign that he was acting under secret police direction and assumed he would be protected.



There's good reason to believe, as a number of knowledgeable former secret policemen and attorneys believe, that Epstein was running a blackmail operation, surreptitiously recording his prominent "friends" in their trysts with underage females. The other explanation for Acosta's inexplicable action in bending over backwards to protect Epstein, that Acosta was intimidated by Epstein's "powerful" lawyers, is a crock. The Department of Justice isn't a pushover. And if Acosta was doing this without some kind of authorization or direction, he would be putting himself at serious reputation and career risk, and possible sanction by DOJ an/or the courts. There was overwhelming evidence of multiple crimes by Epstein- the testimonies of multiple girls, and written records seized from Epstein documenting encounters and contacts with numerous minors. Perry Mason couldn't have gotten this guy off the hook.

But "the" media is determined to protect the secret police and their smarmy covert operation. Presumably it was either a CIA operation or a joint CIA-Mossad one. Mossad because Epstein's "procurer," Ghislaine Maxwell, was the daughter of known Mossad asset Robert Maxwell, the late British media baron who also "committed suicide" by jumping off his yacht. (His company was bankrupt, and I guess Israel didn't want to cough up the money to bail him out, so who knows? Maybe he really did commit suicide. At least that "suicide" is physically possible, unlike Epstein's with the broken neck bone.)



Furthermore, Epstein, being Jewish, rich, and well-connected, would have been a tempting target for Mossad recruitment. Mossad recruits non-Israeli Jews all over the world to use in its operations, playing on Jewish solidarity to gain their cooperation. (Secondarily they use money and favors, and probably at times threats to recruit Jews, although the heavier stuff would be used much more to induce Arabs, Iranians, etc., to do Mossad's bidding.)

A less likely suspect for the unnamed "intelligence agency" would be the FBI. The FBI has a long history of blackmailing politicians and other prominent figures. This was one of longtime FBI chieftain J. Edgar Hoover's specialties. He even personally blackmailed President Kennedy, among others. (But in the "nicest" way. He's inform JFK, for example, of all the sexual affairs Kennedy had had, and assure him that his secrets were safe with him, Hoover. Of course JFK got the message. Those secrets would only stay secret if JFK never crossed Hoover.)

The FBI was involved with Acosta in the Florida whitewash of Epstein's crimes. On the other hand, now that Berman has gone after Epstein, the FBi office in New York City has been part of the Get Epstein attack team. However it must be kept in mind that the NYC FBI field office is at this point an independent fiefdom within the FBI. They in effect forced former FBI Director James Comey to torpedo Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign in October 2016, just a couple of weeks before the election, by dredging up once again her use of a private email server to circumvent government record keeping and future access to the record of her actions as Secretary of State under president Barack "The Drone Assassin" Obama. After Hoover's iron grip on the FBI was broken with his death, the FBI has become harder to control, with agents acting more independently. No FBI agent would have dared "leak" to the media under Hoover except under his direct instructions. Not anymore.

But if Epstein was protected last decade, why couldn't the CIA protect Epstein this time around? What changed? Well, society changed, social conditions changed. The Me Too Movement didn't exist ten years ago. This time a woman reporter at the Miami Herald was incensed by the matter, got her editors to let her run with the story, then other media organs picked it up and amplified it.

So why couldn't the CIA just go around to their media contacts and tell them to hush? After all, even-or rather, especially- the major media organs at the pinnacle of the U.S. corporate propaganda system- the TV networks, the New York Times, the Washington Post, are slavish in their obeisance to the secret police organs.

Slavish yes, but not slaves. Their slavishness is voluntary, not compulsory. The CIA would have been linking themselves to Epstein by asking their media contacts to quiet the story down. That would have raised a lot of uncomfortable questions. Why are you protecting this "predatory pedophile," CIA? What's your connection to him? The whole blackmail operation risked exposure.

Since they could no longer protect Epstein, the secret police had to kill him.
But not to worry, CIA. As long as you lay low, "the" media has no interest in putting the CIA in a bad light with a scandal. (I know, it's ironic. All the monstrous CIA crimes since its founding aren't scandalous, but this would be.)

Mostly "the" media has fallen in line behind the "suicide" story, ignoring the broken neck. Bits of dissonant facts peek out from under the media coverup, for example they reported (just on one day) that Epstein's lawyers don't buy the suicide story. And one of his accusers was on a CBS program saying she didn't think he was the type to kill himself. (For sure!) She thought the writing of the will two days before his untimely demise was an attempt to put his assets out of reach of people like her. (The lawyers for these women must have dollar signs in their eyes. They're in it for a cut of the loot, obviously. Another point being uncharacteristically ignored by "the" media.)

Perhaps Epstein was told by one of his handlers to write a will because they were going to fake his death and smuggle him out. Or perhaps he'd been threatened. It was reported back in July that he was "found unconscious with marks on his neck," and the circumstances of that event were never and have never been clarified.

And some of those who are calling it a murder are attributing it to the Clintons. I don't think the Clintons these days have the power to have someone in a Federal jail assassinated.

Nor does Trump have that ability. Too much of the Deep State is hostile to him for him to be able to pull it off. Anyway he's confident of his ability to lie his way out of anything. No woman used by Epstein has accused Trump of sexual misbehavior, as far as I've heard. And Trump broke off with Epstein about 15 years ago, reportedly because he made some kind of sexual advance on a girl inside a Trump property. (Guess Trump thinks it's only okay to grab the vaginas of adult females.)

By the way, guess what? It's just been reported that there's no "usable" video from the Federal jail where Epstein was killed. How about that. Took them long enough to decide how to handle THAT! Did a Nixon on the recordings.

The Epstein Affair actually is like an X-Ray into American society. it reveals much, and I don't mean just the machinations of the Deep State and its powers. I will have more to explain in future essays.
