The Real Reason Epstein Was Untouchable

Our government seems to believe the American people are stupid when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. Not naïve or confused — stupid, as if we can’t put together basic timelines, read plea agreements, or notice when a serial sex trafficker keeps skating through consequences that would flatten anyone else.

Let’s drop the fairy tale. Epstein was not spared from accountability for decades by accident. He was spared by choice. Prosecutors chose not to throw the book at him, officials chose not to explain how he grew so very rich, and administration after administration chose to let him keep trafficking underage girls. In asking us to accept this as standard operating procedure, our government is asking the public to accept something no jury ever would.

So here is a radical idea: stop insulting us and tell the truth.

There are only two explanations for what happened with Epstein, and neither of them is comforting.

"This post is for paid subscribers."

The title is a tease. Can you excerpt something that is related to that tease?

"There are only two explanations..." - what are those two explanations?

....it was all part of an international scheme to bring down the US, consolidate power in the far right with Putin raking in cash for the kompromat collected. That's the one sentence explanation. That the crimes were the most heinous imaginable was very important to the success of the operation. TSF was a willing idiot, and a very important piece of the project's success. How many times have we said, TSF wouldn't be able to destroy us the way he has without the help of his minions? His minions are obviously compromised. Each pawn in the scheme is covering their own crimes from the past or those they plan to commit in the future. That's all. That's it. We're not stupid, but we have been naive and suffered a great failure of imagination collectively.

How did Trump get involved with Ivana? He's been friends with Lauder for years. How did he first meet Epstein? How did Witkoff get involved with the Russians and Trump?

Considering the Russians successfully targeted and Kompromatted so many government and business officials of our European allies along with US assets and that Israel was so deeply involved, how extensive is Russia's infiltration of and influence over Israel? Russia clearly backed Iran for a long time going back to the late 1800s when Iran was still Persia and Afghanistan was still Khorasan. I suspect Russia influenced Iran to get Hamas to attack Israel on Oct 7, 2023. And then Russia kept Iran and Syria from intervening in the conflict that followed. Putin needed their help in supplying his war against Ukraine and Israel was used by the MAGAt Republicans to try and argue that the US needed to abandon Ukraine for Israel.

Now Trump and Witkoff are negotiating for driving the Palestinians out of Gaza and the Ukrainians out of Donbas in advance of rebuilding and redevelopment contracts with Putin involved in GAZA peace board.

Epstein had a definite working relationship with Putin and with Mossad. I find it hard to believe Epstein was a private super spy who played the Russians, Israel, and the US simultaneously while becoming filthy rich like a real life Bond super villain.
