Epstein: Files in the Ointment

[H2O Man]

One of my associates, after reviewing the link to my last OP, laughed and said, “What the fuck? How did the maga cult become so stupid that they really believed in a satanic group of Democratic Party big-wigs, raping and cooking children, and that (the felon) was the only man brave enough to secretly oppose them?” I said, “Oh, that's easy. Let's start from back in 1988, when Bush the Elder was running for president.....” Before I could continue, he suggested I write it down and post it on DU, and send him the link.

In 1988, when Bush the Elder began his campaign for the presidency, the felon let Lee Atwater know he was “available” to be the vice president. Bush found this “strange and unbelievable.” So much for the incorrect concept that the felon did not long desire to obtain political power. (While I shall not footnote everything here, those interested should see page 326 of Jon Meacham's biography of Bush Sr.)

Next, we go to the years 2006 to 2008. Epstein is charged in a 53-page indictment, that suggests the identity of three co-offenders. The federal prosecutor Alexander Acosta accepts a plea agreement offered by Alan Dershowitz, which allows Epstein to leave his cell days to “work,” and closes the door on further investigations. Why did Alex do this? The Attorney General told him Epstein was “intelligence” and to “back off.” Acosta would, of course, serve as the felon's labor secretary.

In 2007, the beginning of what was known as the Tea Party took place. Republican leaders were aware that Ron Paul was getting support for a presidential run. The Tea Party would, they believed, keep right-wingers in the control of the party – including those normally to the right of the corporate republicans in Congress. In 2008, when Senator Obama became the Democratic Party's nominee for president, it caught on, attracting openly racist citizens. In the 2010 mid-terms, their numbers would win elections that created the Tea Party Caucus in Congress.

Thus, in 2011, the felon did two things: begin to demand President Obama'a birth certificate, and say he might run for president. The birth certificate bit was a call to racists that caught on. His campaign for the presidency fizzled out. Likewise, the Tea Party was no longer on the margins of the republican party, which would no longer support anyone of the manner of a Mitt Romney after his 2012 defeat.

The felon was elected president in 2016.

Those who orchestrated what in 2017 was known as Q-anon – the right-wing nest of retired FBI agents loyal to Rudy Guiliani – began a series of lies to program republican voters. Most, if not all, of the Q-anon information, if repeated by an individual, would be evidence that they were delusional. But it became thousands, then millions, that bought into the delusions. We all remember John F. Kennedy, Jr.'s being at the felon's events in Dealey Plaza.

More titilating, of course, was Q-anan's story of the satanic group – led by the Clintons – of child sex abusing world leaders. This included pointing out that Bill Clinton had known Jeffery Epstein. Before going on, I should note that though Clinton was a good president, he was an imperfect man, in the same way that men like JFK, King, and other great leaders were. But I can say with zero chance of error that Bill Clinton had nothing to do with Epstein's sex ring. It was business that brought the two together, for Epstein had financial juice on the international level.

In 2019, Epstein was again arrested. Among the items found in his NYC home's safe was an Austrian passport. Epstein had traveled to England, France, Spain, and Saudi Arabia using this passport in the past. Also found was evidence of sex trafficking, including files with under aged girls' names and the name of the men connected to them. (USA Today, July 10, 2019)

Jeffery died unexpectedly while incarcerated in the Metropolitan Correctional Center. This seemed odd, considering he was housed on the MCC's most secure wing. Rather than my going into depth on the MCC, Nic Tartaglione, and how many guards work for the Russian mob in NYC, I will suggest going to “Crime Wave,” the pod cast by Declan Hill, based on research he and his classes at the University of New Haven's studies of criminal justice and forensic sciences did.

Of course, the maga republican bowel movement changed hard facts into soft shit, and used these events to place even greater delusions into the cult's misunderstanding of the country they lived in. “Release the Epstein files!” became their war cry in 2024's presidential election. This, of course, answers my associate's question of how the members of the maga cult were led astray. But a funny (not humorous) thing happened. The felon was again elected. They learned that the actual Epstein files are the exact opposite of the nonsense they had told the cult. If released, they do no harm to Democrats, with the exception of the late Bill Richardson. (I hate even mentioning that, as I always respected him.

The most important thing that we need to do now is to actively support Rep. Jamie Raskin's call for A.G. Bondi to release two things: the Epstein files, and part two of Jack Smith's report on the classified documents the felon stole. I think Rep. Raskin is among the most intelligent and honest elected representatives in our country's history. The fact that he spoke about the two things in a recent press conference suggests that there may be a connection among the files he stole.
