Now I always knew Mueller was crooked, long before he tried to frame Trump. You see, he led the botched investigation into the 9/11 Anthrax attack, which tried to pin it on two innocent American scientists (resulting in the death of one of them) when all along the answer was starring him in the face ... that here was Iraqi or Saudi involvement. I can tell you a great about that if you're interested, but for now I'll just say that for a long time I thought the Iraqis were the ones involved. Now I'm beginning to think they were just the patsies in a Deep State/Saudi plot.
What if the purpose of the attack was, as many rank and file liberals claimed at the time, to push through the Patriot Act in the US and bring us that much closer to a police state controlled (not by Republicans like they thought but the) UNIPARTY? Looking at it that way, combined with what the above article notes about the apparent involvement of Saudi Prince Bandar in 9/11, consider this photo taken two days after 9/11: https://i0.wp.com/www.floridabulldog.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/bandarbushcheneyrice.jpg?ssl=1 . It shows George Bush, Cheney, Rice and Bandar drinking and smoking cigars on the Truman Balcony of the White House. Hmmmmm. And thanks to Trump, we now know that Bush, Cheney and Rice were all UNIPARTY.
I think there’s no question that there was a meeting, however. For example I found this Brooking's article: https://www.brookings.edu/articles/9-11-and-iraq-the-making-of-a-tragedy/ which states: "On September 18, a week after 9/11, Saudi Ambassador Prince Bandar bin Sultan came to the White House to see Bush. The meeting took place on the Truman Balcony. Vice President Richard Cheney and Rice were there as well. My note says the president “clearly thinks Iraq must be behind this. His questions to Bandar show his bias.” The difference in dates is curious, however.
So I decided to ask Grok this question: “Can you tell me if President George Bush met with Saudi Prince Bandar in September of 2001?”
Here’s the response: “Yes, President George W. Bush met with Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the Saudi Ambassador to the United States, on September 13, 2001, at the White House. The meeting took place two days after the 9/11 attacks, and they were reported to have discussed issues including the evacuation of Saudi nationals from the U.S. and terrorist renditions. A notable image from this meeting shows Bush and Bandar on the Truman Balcony, smoking cigars alongside Vice President Dick Cheney and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice.”
I next asked: “Can you verify that the picture is real?”
The response: “The image of President George W. Bush meeting with Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan on the Truman Balcony of the White House on September 13, 2001, is authentic. It was taken by White House photographer Eric Draper and is part of the official George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum archives. The photograph, widely referenced in credible sources such as news articles and books like House of Bush, House of Saud by Craig Unger, shows Bush, Bandar, Vice President Dick Cheney, and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, with some accounts noting they were smoking cigars. No credible evidence suggests the image has been altered or fabricated. If you'd like, I can search for additional primary sources or analyze specific details of the image, provided you share or describe it.
I said: “Please search for additional primary sources.”
I’ll repeat the highlights in the response …
“The George W. Bush Presidential Library website provides access to digital collections, including photographs from the Bush administration. While the specific Truman Balcony photograph from September 13, 2001, is not always publicly displayed due to the vast number of images, the library confirms that Eric Draper’s photographs are part of its collection. A search on the library’s website for “September 13, 2001, Prince Bandar” yields references to the meeting in textual records, such as daily schedules, which note Bush’s meeting with the Saudi ambassador.”
“Posts on X from users like @paulsperry_ and @ic911justice reference the photograph, describing it as authentic and citing its context on the Truman Balcony. A post by @trbutler notes that Snopes contacted the White House, which confirmed the image’s authenticity. While these are not primary sources, they reflect public awareness of the photograph and its verification by fact-checking outlets. The Snopes confirmation, if accurate, would point to a primary source (White House statement), but I could not independently verify the Snopes article without a direct link.”
I don’t know what the true story of Guiffres death is, but you’re right, the picture of her injuries is consistent with being a punching bag. And she wouldn't be the first witness that the democRAT Mafia has had beaten up or even murdered the past three decades, during their rise to power. Also, there's good reason to think Epstein was working for the CIA creating dirt on people. The CIA is behind the scenes now trying to stymie Trump at every turn. And the CIA is not stranger to intimidating and offing people they see as threats.
As for Pam Bondi, if she's discovered that the Epstein documents were destroyed, she needs to publicly say so and then find out who destroyed them. Anything less will lead me to believe she’s part of the coverup now ... she's not MAGA. Someone in government has to know who had access to those records. Records are kept of such access. Who maintained those records? In whose possession were they? We want names. We want an investigation.
Somewhere there’s information that will expose someone involved in destroying evidence to being asked very uncomfortable questions by FBI agents … in other words under oath. Agents Trump and more important WE can trust. Put the squeeze on and eventually someone will break. Every day that goes by without some indication this matter is being actively investigated leaves me concerned that Pam Bondi is yet another Deep State plant who managed to get into a Trump administration … like so many did his last administration.
If ANY federal department needs cleaning up, it’s the one Bondi’s now in charge of, the Department of Justice, and if it’s not cleaned up, Trump’s administration will be judged a failure by history no matter what else he accomplishes, because we’ll be right back to where we started the moment he’s out of power, with democRATS and UNIPARTY RINOs cheating their way into office … with an FBI that none of us can trust. I hope that Trump realizes that. And if they get back in control we'll be back to where we were on every front because the left will bring their economics, WOKEness and the rest of their agenda back. And likely there will never be another opportunity, like we have now, to rid the government of it.
Bill Barr, former AG also under Trump, had suspicious connections to Epstein (his dad who was also in intelligence hired Epstein, likely to groom him) and it was under Bill Barr, the son, that Epstein met his improbable end in prison.
Now Trump puts Pam Bondi in the AG chair. She too has weird connections with Epstein--why did she never go after him when she could have in Florida? Why did Epstein get a sweetheart deal from Florida while she was AG?
I'm getting the impression they want to sweep the whole Epstein thing under the rug. (Sarc!)
Do tell! I'd love to hear more, but let me throw this into the soup pot. What do you make of the Las Vegas shooting? Stephen Paddock allegedly shot something like 60+ people at a music festival for no apparent reason and there were all sorts of anomalies to the event (ballistics, participation, the fact that Saudis were seen running around). Info on the Paddock Vegas shooting is shut down pretty tight and, of course, Paddock conveniently was killed. The whole story didn't make sense and there were lots of forensic inconsistencies. (Just last week I was digging back into the Paddock story but I can't find any new details... it's on the fast track to be forgotten news.)
Does the Vegas shooting play in? I've always suspected that the Saudis were involved here, although I'm not sure if they were the intended victims (as some say that a prince was the target and his assassination was to be concealed in a melee) or the perps.
As for 9/11, I have long suspected that it was an inside job. But I can't really say I know what happened. I am just convinced what didn't happen is what the mainstream media said happened. However, that is my default position on most news anyway.
9/11 to me is like the JFK assassination. I have done a lot of research into both, but both stories are so big, so sprawling, it's hard to write about them unless I was to write a book.
Grok and I had a conversation about this, but unfortunately Grok only uses mainstream media sources (calling the New York Times and Bloomberg "reputable" and also citing the Guardian). But all three have a history of covering for the left. Initially, Grok claimed that Nikolic and Epstein met in 2013 when Nikolic brought some woman, Mila Antonova, to him for funding. Grok was unaware of the photo of Nikolic with Epstein, Gates, etc back in 2011. When I pointed out that the photo showed Nikolic in the company of a number of men who are implicated to one degree or another in Epstein's activities, and that the meeting occurred right after the Bush administration let Epstein temporarily off the hook for his crimes, Grok essential dismissed the implications. So Grok, is not going to be very helpful in connecting the dots in any political matter, not as long as the left controls the media.
AI can't be trusted although at times it's very helpful. It works on probability, like autofill, and tries to guess what you want.
I'm glad you brought up Mila Antonova! What a can of worms that is!
She's a Russian bridge player and allegedly Bill Gates had an affair with her. She looks startlingly like Greta Thunberg. She was born in 1987 and allegedly had the affair with Gates in 2010 which would put her in her early 20s. However, her birth year is very hard to track down, I wonder if perhaps she was a bit younger. She's more than 30 years younger than Bill.
I found something else that said she went to university in Russia from 2000 to 2005 which doesn't square with being born in 1987.
Antonova was friendly with Anna Chapman, according to the NY Post and Chapman is a convicted spy. She got convicted in 2010, strangely the year that Antonova and Bill started their relationship. I know Chapman was a spy because she was rounded up with 9 other spies and deported--and she confessed to being a spy.
Antonova allegedly met Gates at a bridge tournament and Gates introduced her to Epstein in a bid to get funding for BridgePlanet, an online tutoring method for learning bridge. It is peculiar to me that a rich guy like Gates didn't just fund his girlfriend's pet project. She wasn't asking for billions. I don't know why Gates wanted to loop Epstein into this thing.
Now here's the interesting part. It is alleged that in 2017, Epstein threatened to go public with Gates's relationship with Antonova unless Gates paid Epstein some money. It was allegedly to "reimburse" Epstein for something or other. Not sure if Gates paid. The whole Antonova thing didn't come out (as far as I can tell) till 2023 so maybe Gates did pay.
Mila is now working as a software engineer in San Francisco right now.
The reason this is so interesting to me is that Epstein is only ever alleged to be blackmailing people. If this is true, it indicates he was blackmailing one of the richest people in the world.
And this brings up the "honey pot" issue. Was Antonova really just a bridge player? Or was she a spy? Or was she working with Epstein to set up Bill? It's hard to believe a Russian woman who was friendly with a convicted spy just accidentally happened to meet Bill Gates,
Then, according to Fox News (https://www.foxnews.com/politics/jeffrey-epstein-allegedly-threatened-bill-gates-reported-affair-russian-card-player-report), in November 2013 Antonova and Nikolic meet with Epstein to pitch her online BridgePlanet software idea. Epstein says no, but a year later, according to her, she’s still staying in an apartment provided by Epstein. She claims she “didn’t interact with him or with anyone else” during that time. Very odd. She claims during that time she decided to become a software engineer. And guess what? Epstein agrees to pay for her schooling. And, according to her, “nothing was exchanged. I don’t know why he did that.” Really? Not a clue, Mila?
If you ask me, there’s something fishy about the above story. And then to make the story even juicer, there are reports (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/bill-gates-affair-jeffrey-epstein-report-b2343172.html) that in 2017 Epstein sent Gates, the richest man in the world, an email threatening to expose a possibly multi-year affair between him and Mila if he didn’t pay Epstein for … guess what … the cost of her coding *education*. Seriously? It’s not like Epstein needed the money. And if you were going to extort the richest man in the world, would you really only ask for a couple hundred thousand dollars … if that? Then, just two years later, Epstein’s mysteriously dies while in prison. And just four years after that Bill and Melinda get divorced … apparently because Gate’s *friendship* with Epstein is an *issue*.
And yes, the reports that Mila went to a university in Russia starting in 2000 don’t jibe with a reported birthdate in 1987 because that would make her just 13 at the time. But I couldn’t find any corroboration for that 1987 date. Here’s an interview she did of Bill Gates in March of 2010:
In the interview, she knew who Gates was, even though she started the interview by saying “who are you?”, because as the article notes, they’d met the previous year. Or did they? The article also states that in 2010 she claimed to have told friends that she met Gates two years earlier, making the first meeting in 2008. In any case, I find it odd that Nikolic, who worked for Gates, introduced her to Epstein. How did she meet Nikolic? Did Gates tell Nikolic to do that? Was Gates helping her, which would beg the question, why? It all sounds like a movie script. Ah, the lives of the rich and famous. Very complicated.
Normally, it's pretty easy to find out a famous person's birth year and if there are discrepancies, it's usually a couple of years. I could only find one source (that is likely not reliable) to even name a year when Antonova was born and it was unlikely: 1987. I found a few sources that said she met Gates in 2009 or 2010. A missing birth year seems a little sketchy to me, particularly since she ran around with a guy who liked young girls.
Epstein is on the record here and there, paying tuition for kids who were not his. He allegedly paid the school tuition of Virgin Islands Governor John de Jongh's kids. That could have just been a bribe. He also said he would pay for art school for Maria Farmer (who has the distinction of being the first Epstein victim to go public). I don't know if he paid her tuition or not, but Maria's younger sister alleges she was an Epstein victim, too.
Here's my question of the day. Did Epstein have children?
The O’Keefe Media Group on Thursday released undercover video of US Attorney General Pam Bondi revealing ... snip ... [in] an April 28 recording ... snip ... to a stranger in a DC restaurant that there are ‘tens of thousands of videos of little kids’ for the FBI to comb through.
“Do you know when the Epstein files are going to be released?” a concerned citizen asked Pam Bondi. “We hope soon.” When pressed for more information Bondi added, “No. You know what it is? There are tens of thousands of videos, and it’s all with little kids.” ... snip ...
The O’Keefe Media Group contacted Pam Bondi’s office on May 1 to request comment about the covertly recorded footage. A week later on May 7, Pam Bondi echoed her private statements to the public for the first time: “There are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn, and there are hundreds of victims, and no one victim will ever get released.”
“Why was this information held back in the first place?” James O’Keefe asked. “Does this show that the government apparatus is still working behind the scenes to protect powerful people involved in the scandal?”
**********
That makes me wonder that too. If they've got VIDEO of ANYONE other Epstein, who is supposed to be dead" sexually assaulting kids then those people should already be under arrest. NO EXCUSES.
I think James O'Keefe said or at least implied that there was video evidence of Prince Randy Andy attacking children.
The Epstein stuff is a mystery. I don't have many contacts but I do have a trustworthy source who was at NYPD at the time Epstein died and he maintains that Epstein's death was faked. Of course, I don't think he had first-hand knowledge of this, I think it was department scuttlebutt.
And the other day, in a hearing Kash Patel of all people said he believed Epstein committed suicide in prison. That's almost an impossibility given how that particular prison works--so why would he say that? I doubt he believes it, but he's going with the old narrative! Curious.
Why is the Epstein stuff so secret? Patrick Bet David said on a recent podcast that one reason to keep the Epstein stuff secret might be to blackmail people. In other words, maybe the government gets greater benefit using these videos to keep certain bad actors for acting badly... That was a new angle.
Another Epstein angle comes from Whitney Webb (author of One Nation Under Blackmail) who has researched Epstein and come to the conclusion that Epstein's "side line" was the sexual stuff. His real value to certain nefarious people was his ability to structure finances to launder money. This makes some sense: Epstein was supposedly super brilliant at math, he did a stint on Wall Street, and he did help the Clinton Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative set up their bookkeeping systems to favor the Clintons. So exposing him might reveal money laundering on a scale we have yet to comprehend.
How did Epstein earn his millions? And what happened to that money? I know lawyers ate up a lot of it since there was some legal wrangling over the money. A newspaper in the Virgin Islands (the St. Thomas Source) says that there are multiple beneficiaries including some "mystery beneficiaries," whatever that means. Plus I think some of his victims are suing the estate.
It has recently come to my awareness that Epstein wasn't the only person to own private Caribbean Islands. Richard Branson owns several (and, curiously, he owns an airline called "Virgin"). For a time, Frank Biden owned part of an island called Water Island (he was the owner but the deal was made through his brother Joe). Water Island had a station for a personal submarines and the Bidens had a personal sub. And Epstein Island was nearby and also had a docking station for these little submarines. (Ghislaine Maxwell was licensed to pilot these small submarines.) So is this sort of "private island" or "private club" thing more common than we think? Lord, help us!
The Giuffre "suicide" was a real wake-up call that suggest to me there is still something going on here.
Yes, there's a lot more to the Epstein story, which is why getting to the bottom of it is important. Potentially, hundreds of top people in US government and industry may be blackmailable as a result of their association with him.
Now you know how I’m always looking for the Fabian Socialist angle in events?
Well, In February 1891, this really wealthy English guy name Cecil John Rhodes met with with Alfred (later Lord) Milner, and a bunch of other important Britains, to draw up a plan for a secret society aimed at influencing or even controlling the world. It included an Inner Circle, led by Rhodes, and Outer Circle. Milner called the Outer Circle the Round Table. Its goal was to eventually establish a socialist world government.
In 1973, Historian Carrol Quigley, who attended and taught at Harvard, after 20 years of study declared the Milner Group/Round Table very influential. He wrote “This organization has been able to conceal its existence quite successfully, and many of its most influential members … snip … are unknown even to close students of British history.” He went on to note that it “dominated the British delegation to the Peace Conference of 1919”, “had a great deal to do with the formation and management of the League of Nations”, and “founded the Royal Institute of International Affairs [now Chatham House. All of those had strong Fabian participation.
When Milner died, leadership of the Round Table fell to Lord Robert Brand, then Adam Marris (son of Sir William). Sir William then succeeded Brand as managing director of Lazard Brothers Bank. Lazard hired Fabian Socialist Peter Mandelson. Court documents in the Virgin Isles vs JPMorgan case reveal that Mandelson was due to stay in his Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse while Epstein was in prison for soliciting underage prostitution.
Mandelson appears to have been introduced to Epstein by Ghislaine Maxwell. Messages between 2009 and 2011 and Epstein called Mandelson ‘Petie'. Epstein wrote to his JP Morgan banker, Jen Staley, saying “Peter will be staying at 71st over weekend, do you want to organize either you, or you and Jamie,, quiertly [sic], up to you.” Jamie was Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase.
JP Morgan claims Staley misled them. But the Virgin Isles says the bank knew about Epstein's trafficking of underage girls. The bank settled a suit brought by a woman on behalf of several of Epstein's victims for over $290 million. Apparently, Staley was identified in the suit, which accused him of engaging in assaults along with Epstein. In one 2010 email, Stanley told Epstein “That was fun. Say hi to Snow White.” Epstein replied “What character would you like next?” Of course, a spokesperson for Mandelson said “Lord Mandelson very much regrets ever having been introduced to Epstein” and he never had “any kind of professional or business relationship with Epstein in any form”.
Under a secret arrangement, Bush’s US attorney's office agreed not to prosecute Epstein - after which, in 2011, Staley, Lawrence Summers, Epstein, Bill Gates and Boris Nikolic, who was the Gates Foundation science advisor, posed for a photo while at Epstein’s townhouse (see this https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/12/business/jeffrey-epstein-bill-gates.html?).
Summers was Secretary of the Treasury under Bill Clinton, the 27th President of Harvard, and Director of the National Economic Council under Obama. Flight records show Summers flew on Epstein's plane on at least four occasions, including once when he was Treasury Secretary and three times while Harvard President.
The Time article linked above notes that Bill Gates started his relationship with Epstein AFTER he was convicted of sex crimes. It says that Gates met with Epstein “numerous times, including at least three times at Mr. Epstein’s palatial Manhattan townhouse, and at least once staying late into the night”. Obviously, there could be some very troubling names on Epstein’s list of clients.
And get this, “days before Mr. Epstein hanged himself in a Manhattan jail cell on Aug. 10, he amended his will and named Mr. Nikolic as a fallback executor in the event that one of the two primary executors was unable to serve. Of course, every one of these people now “deeply regrets” ever meeting Epstein. Just saying ,,,
Boris Nikolic--venture capitalist, runs Biomatics Capital which invests in biotech startups. Lot of genetics stuff, but that is also the cutting edge of medicine nowadays.
He comes from Zagreb, Croatia, and claims to have never had business ties with Epstein (although he was working with Gates). He's a member of the World Economic Forum, of course. He said he did not know he was named as some sort of executor of Epstein's will and said he would not serve in that role. Despite his accolades and prominence, there isn't a lot of info out there on him.
Here's a new angle on Epstein, and it's the globalization of crimes against children. I got this from a Mike Benz podcast. What if the Epstein files expose not just corrupt Americans but corrupt officials all over the world. These countries could be putting pressure on Trump and others to slow-walk the Epstein stuff. In other words, some countries might be holding us hostage--they'll work with us as long as the Epstein stuff never sees the light of day. This could involve European intelligence, Israel and other Middle Eastern countries, North and Central Americans... Not to mention royal families (not mentioning any names but their current king's initials are Charles III).
With many powerful nations and intelligence agencies involved, the Epstein files may be protected. The fact that they're protected to me is proof enough that they contain information that could bring a good many world leaders (and their governments) down.
On July 7th, Netanyahu visited Trump in Washington for a private meeting. Also on July 7th, the Trump DOJ did a complete 180 and released a memo that effectively said that the Jeffrey Epstein matter is just a big to-do about nothing. One wonders if the two are connected since one possibility is that the Epstein was a Mossad operation.
Move on from Epstein is what Trump has been saying ever since the memo came out. First he had a very strange response to a question about Epstein by a member of the press during a cabinet meeting and then today he made an equally strange Truth Social post: https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114842356238631061.
Combine that with his suddenly endorsing UNIPARTY RINO Lindsey Graham and sending more arms to Ukraine, I’m left wondering if the Deep State and/or Mossad have gotten to Trump. And if he has no interest in telling us the truth about Epstein, do you think he’s going to investigate and tell us the truth about any of the other things we NEED his administration to investigate before the next election? I don’t.
The truth is that he’s gaslighting us now for some reason. I fear his presidency will effectively be over if he continues doing that. Too many questions are being asked that he’s not being forthcoming about. And when he says to ignore Epstein because they rigged and stole two election, the question is why don't Bondi and Patel (the DOJ and FBI) seem to be doing anything about it?
The strangest comment of all in his Truth Social post is that “They created the Epstein Files”. What does he mean by that? We deserve a full explanation. And if the UNIPARTY created info to implicate him, he needs to trust that we'd believe his innocence. After all, if there’d been something real in the files damaging to him, the Deep State would undoubtedly have already used it against him. In my view, that's prima facie proof there was not. And if the files implicates others, then they need to be investigated. Why protect them? It makes no sense.
One thing is for sure … Trump throwing this under the rug and expecting us to simply drop this matter will not fly. It's too late for anything other than the truth.
Today, Trump released this statement on Truth Social ... https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114863203348237352 . Trying to understand why Trump would say such a thing to many in his base, I read every post that people made on a CTH thread about it. First, this comment by Dhyana struck a chord:
------------
It seems to me we would find out if Epstein is a hoax by releasing the files, all of it. President Trump has made an accusation and he expects MAGA to just take his word for it? Show us the evidence. Pam Blondie could have followed through on her public assertions about the Epstein files and delivered. She didn’t. So, instead of it blowing over, it’s not going away. The President equating Epstein with Russiagate is gaslighting. Also, he was the central figure in Russiagate, whereas in the Epstein case, he is not. According to Alex Acosta, he was told by superiors that Epstein “belonged to intelligence.” So, Epstein has the added feature of involving intelligence agencies, either foreign or domestic. It’s no surprise to me that the U.S. government is trying to shut this down. Blowing open Epstein exposes the deep state and its nefarious activities. Up until now, President Trump was David to the deep state Goliath, which is why so many, who would never vote for a Republican and who formed the MAGA coalition, voted for him. Not now. As Robert Barnes says: “Will he drain the swamp or will the swamp drain him?” Given the way he’s handling this, he’s at serious risk of the swamp draining him.
------------
But then, looking back at early comments, poster Betsy jones made some very good points about those who had controlled the evidence during the Biden administration: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/93cbcf70e969e76088e96c2ed992f7a6c6073f43c830281050a77630f9b84e24.png . I can believe that the democRATS and RINOS who instigated so many hoaxes the past 12 years against Trump and MAGA are not above having scrubbed the evidence of any thing that might have hurt them and fabricated bogus evidence that would hurt MAGA if revealed. And there now might not be any way to prove what really happened. It would just be another bogus smear job that the left would use to impede Trump and MAGA's agenda.
As a result, I've decided to give Trump the full benefit of the doubt and just accept that he has valid reasons for not releasing further evidence or pursuing the matter further. One thing I'm sure of is that Trump did nothing wrong with Epstein and that he's a good, moral, decent man. He's proven that over and over and over. I do hope that if it can be proven that specific democRATS altered or destroyed Epstein evidence that the Trump administration will prosecute them. In fact, that might be a way for Trump and his administration to lessen the impact of this mess.
Finally, I found this article which logically examines the Epstein matter and reinforces my decision: https://www.frontpagemag.com/who-really-backed-epstein/ . It points out that it's democRATS who have indeed backed and protected Epstein at every turn. As the author concludes, "The Epstein case matters because it shows how corrupt the Democrats are. And those trying to divert attention from the Democrats to undermine Trump with their own agendas are not only hurting the president, but are aiding Epstein’s real backers so that their crimes will continue." Just saying ...
On a related (if you look at the big picture) topic, here's another shocking string to pull on ... https://nypost.com/2019/09/07/robert-mueller-helped-saudi-arabia-cover-up-its-role-in-9-11-attacks-suit/ . That article goes into detail how Mueller obstructed the investigation of Saudi involvement in 9/11. It's pretty damning evidence.
Now I always knew Mueller was crooked, long before he tried to frame Trump. You see, he led the botched investigation into the 9/11 Anthrax attack, which tried to pin it on two innocent American scientists (resulting in the death of one of them) when all along the answer was starring him in the face ... that here was Iraqi or Saudi involvement. I can tell you a great about that if you're interested, but for now I'll just say that for a long time I thought the Iraqis were the ones involved. Now I'm beginning to think they were just the patsies in a Deep State/Saudi plot.
What if the purpose of the attack was, as many rank and file liberals claimed at the time, to push through the Patriot Act in the US and bring us that much closer to a police state controlled (not by Republicans like they thought but the) UNIPARTY? Looking at it that way, combined with what the above article notes about the apparent involvement of Saudi Prince Bandar in 9/11, consider this photo taken two days after 9/11: https://i0.wp.com/www.floridabulldog.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/bandarbushcheneyrice.jpg?ssl=1 . It shows George Bush, Cheney, Rice and Bandar drinking and smoking cigars on the Truman Balcony of the White House. Hmmmmm. And thanks to Trump, we now know that Bush, Cheney and Rice were all UNIPARTY.
The photo literally gives me the heebie-jeebies. What is the source? I see the URL but is this an officially published photo?
Here’s the source where I got the photo: https://www.floridabulldog.org/2016/07/28-pages-connect-saudi-prince-to-al-qaeda-leader-supporters-of-911-hijackers/ . It indicates the source was the White House, via HistoryCommons.org. Unfortunately HistoryCommons.org suddenly went dark in 2021 or 2022.
I think there’s no question that there was a meeting, however. For example I found this Brooking's article: https://www.brookings.edu/articles/9-11-and-iraq-the-making-of-a-tragedy/ which states: "On September 18, a week after 9/11, Saudi Ambassador Prince Bandar bin Sultan came to the White House to see Bush. The meeting took place on the Truman Balcony. Vice President Richard Cheney and Rice were there as well. My note says the president “clearly thinks Iraq must be behind this. His questions to Bandar show his bias.” The difference in dates is curious, however.
So I decided to ask Grok this question: “Can you tell me if President George Bush met with Saudi Prince Bandar in September of 2001?”
Here’s the response: “Yes, President George W. Bush met with Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the Saudi Ambassador to the United States, on September 13, 2001, at the White House. The meeting took place two days after the 9/11 attacks, and they were reported to have discussed issues including the evacuation of Saudi nationals from the U.S. and terrorist renditions. A notable image from this meeting shows Bush and Bandar on the Truman Balcony, smoking cigars alongside Vice President Dick Cheney and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice.”
I next asked: “Can you verify that the picture is real?”
The response: “The image of President George W. Bush meeting with Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan on the Truman Balcony of the White House on September 13, 2001, is authentic. It was taken by White House photographer Eric Draper and is part of the official George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum archives. The photograph, widely referenced in credible sources such as news articles and books like House of Bush, House of Saud by Craig Unger, shows Bush, Bandar, Vice President Dick Cheney, and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, with some accounts noting they were smoking cigars. No credible evidence suggests the image has been altered or fabricated. If you'd like, I can search for additional primary sources or analyze specific details of the image, provided you share or describe it.
I said: “Please search for additional primary sources.”
I’ll repeat the highlights in the response …
“The George W. Bush Presidential Library website provides access to digital collections, including photographs from the Bush administration. While the specific Truman Balcony photograph from September 13, 2001, is not always publicly displayed due to the vast number of images, the library confirms that Eric Draper’s photographs are part of its collection. A search on the library’s website for “September 13, 2001, Prince Bandar” yields references to the meeting in textual records, such as daily schedules, which note Bush’s meeting with the Saudi ambassador.”
“Posts on X from users like @paulsperry_ and @ic911justice reference the photograph, describing it as authentic and citing its context on the Truman Balcony. A post by @trbutler notes that Snopes contacted the White House, which confirmed the image’s authenticity. While these are not primary sources, they reflect public awareness of the photograph and its verification by fact-checking outlets. The Snopes confirmation, if accurate, would point to a primary source (White House statement), but I could not independently verify the Snopes article without a direct link.”
Wow, thanks. I need to look into this.
I don’t know what the true story of Guiffres death is, but you’re right, the picture of her injuries is consistent with being a punching bag. And she wouldn't be the first witness that the democRAT Mafia has had beaten up or even murdered the past three decades, during their rise to power. Also, there's good reason to think Epstein was working for the CIA creating dirt on people. The CIA is behind the scenes now trying to stymie Trump at every turn. And the CIA is not stranger to intimidating and offing people they see as threats.
As for Pam Bondi, if she's discovered that the Epstein documents were destroyed, she needs to publicly say so and then find out who destroyed them. Anything less will lead me to believe she’s part of the coverup now ... she's not MAGA. Someone in government has to know who had access to those records. Records are kept of such access. Who maintained those records? In whose possession were they? We want names. We want an investigation.
Somewhere there’s information that will expose someone involved in destroying evidence to being asked very uncomfortable questions by FBI agents … in other words under oath. Agents Trump and more important WE can trust. Put the squeeze on and eventually someone will break. Every day that goes by without some indication this matter is being actively investigated leaves me concerned that Pam Bondi is yet another Deep State plant who managed to get into a Trump administration … like so many did his last administration.
If ANY federal department needs cleaning up, it’s the one Bondi’s now in charge of, the Department of Justice, and if it’s not cleaned up, Trump’s administration will be judged a failure by history no matter what else he accomplishes, because we’ll be right back to where we started the moment he’s out of power, with democRATS and UNIPARTY RINOs cheating their way into office … with an FBI that none of us can trust. I hope that Trump realizes that. And if they get back in control we'll be back to where we were on every front because the left will bring their economics, WOKEness and the rest of their agenda back. And likely there will never be another opportunity, like we have now, to rid the government of it.
Bill Barr, former AG also under Trump, had suspicious connections to Epstein (his dad who was also in intelligence hired Epstein, likely to groom him) and it was under Bill Barr, the son, that Epstein met his improbable end in prison.
Now Trump puts Pam Bondi in the AG chair. She too has weird connections with Epstein--why did she never go after him when she could have in Florida? Why did Epstein get a sweetheart deal from Florida while she was AG?
I'm getting the impression they want to sweep the whole Epstein thing under the rug. (Sarc!)
Do tell! I'd love to hear more, but let me throw this into the soup pot. What do you make of the Las Vegas shooting? Stephen Paddock allegedly shot something like 60+ people at a music festival for no apparent reason and there were all sorts of anomalies to the event (ballistics, participation, the fact that Saudis were seen running around). Info on the Paddock Vegas shooting is shut down pretty tight and, of course, Paddock conveniently was killed. The whole story didn't make sense and there were lots of forensic inconsistencies. (Just last week I was digging back into the Paddock story but I can't find any new details... it's on the fast track to be forgotten news.)
Does the Vegas shooting play in? I've always suspected that the Saudis were involved here, although I'm not sure if they were the intended victims (as some say that a prince was the target and his assassination was to be concealed in a melee) or the perps.
As for 9/11, I have long suspected that it was an inside job. But I can't really say I know what happened. I am just convinced what didn't happen is what the mainstream media said happened. However, that is my default position on most news anyway.
9/11 to me is like the JFK assassination. I have done a lot of research into both, but both stories are so big, so sprawling, it's hard to write about them unless I was to write a book.
Grok and I had a conversation about this, but unfortunately Grok only uses mainstream media sources (calling the New York Times and Bloomberg "reputable" and also citing the Guardian). But all three have a history of covering for the left. Initially, Grok claimed that Nikolic and Epstein met in 2013 when Nikolic brought some woman, Mila Antonova, to him for funding. Grok was unaware of the photo of Nikolic with Epstein, Gates, etc back in 2011. When I pointed out that the photo showed Nikolic in the company of a number of men who are implicated to one degree or another in Epstein's activities, and that the meeting occurred right after the Bush administration let Epstein temporarily off the hook for his crimes, Grok essential dismissed the implications. So Grok, is not going to be very helpful in connecting the dots in any political matter, not as long as the left controls the media.
AI can't be trusted although at times it's very helpful. It works on probability, like autofill, and tries to guess what you want.
I'm glad you brought up Mila Antonova! What a can of worms that is!
She's a Russian bridge player and allegedly Bill Gates had an affair with her. She looks startlingly like Greta Thunberg. She was born in 1987 and allegedly had the affair with Gates in 2010 which would put her in her early 20s. However, her birth year is very hard to track down, I wonder if perhaps she was a bit younger. She's more than 30 years younger than Bill.
I found something else that said she went to university in Russia from 2000 to 2005 which doesn't square with being born in 1987.
Antonova was friendly with Anna Chapman, according to the NY Post and Chapman is a convicted spy. She got convicted in 2010, strangely the year that Antonova and Bill started their relationship. I know Chapman was a spy because she was rounded up with 9 other spies and deported--and she confessed to being a spy.
Antonova allegedly met Gates at a bridge tournament and Gates introduced her to Epstein in a bid to get funding for BridgePlanet, an online tutoring method for learning bridge. It is peculiar to me that a rich guy like Gates didn't just fund his girlfriend's pet project. She wasn't asking for billions. I don't know why Gates wanted to loop Epstein into this thing.
Now here's the interesting part. It is alleged that in 2017, Epstein threatened to go public with Gates's relationship with Antonova unless Gates paid Epstein some money. It was allegedly to "reimburse" Epstein for something or other. Not sure if Gates paid. The whole Antonova thing didn't come out (as far as I can tell) till 2023 so maybe Gates did pay.
Mila is now working as a software engineer in San Francisco right now.
The reason this is so interesting to me is that Epstein is only ever alleged to be blackmailing people. If this is true, it indicates he was blackmailing one of the richest people in the world.
And this brings up the "honey pot" issue. Was Antonova really just a bridge player? Or was she a spy? Or was she working with Epstein to set up Bill? It's hard to believe a Russian woman who was friendly with a convicted spy just accidentally happened to meet Bill Gates,
Yes, Antonova really did look like Greta: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fwv_Y11WwBAbsvg.jpg . And in the same timeframe Gates meets Antonova, she’s connected to Russian spy Anna Chapman: https://data.ibtimes.sg/en/full/67809/mila-antonova.jpg?w=736. That's very curious.
Then, according to Fox News (https://www.foxnews.com/politics/jeffrey-epstein-allegedly-threatened-bill-gates-reported-affair-russian-card-player-report), in November 2013 Antonova and Nikolic meet with Epstein to pitch her online BridgePlanet software idea. Epstein says no, but a year later, according to her, she’s still staying in an apartment provided by Epstein. She claims she “didn’t interact with him or with anyone else” during that time. Very odd. She claims during that time she decided to become a software engineer. And guess what? Epstein agrees to pay for her schooling. And, according to her, “nothing was exchanged. I don’t know why he did that.” Really? Not a clue, Mila?
If you ask me, there’s something fishy about the above story. And then to make the story even juicer, there are reports (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/bill-gates-affair-jeffrey-epstein-report-b2343172.html) that in 2017 Epstein sent Gates, the richest man in the world, an email threatening to expose a possibly multi-year affair between him and Mila if he didn’t pay Epstein for … guess what … the cost of her coding *education*. Seriously? It’s not like Epstein needed the money. And if you were going to extort the richest man in the world, would you really only ask for a couple hundred thousand dollars … if that? Then, just two years later, Epstein’s mysteriously dies while in prison. And just four years after that Bill and Melinda get divorced … apparently because Gate’s *friendship* with Epstein is an *issue*.
And yes, the reports that Mila went to a university in Russia starting in 2000 don’t jibe with a reported birthdate in 1987 because that would make her just 13 at the time. But I couldn’t find any corroboration for that 1987 date. Here’s an interview she did of Bill Gates in March of 2010:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12112089/Bill-Gates-interviewed-Russian-bridge-player-Mila-Antonova-unearthed-2010-video.html#v-2390494373936121056 . That article says she was 26 at the time, which would make her close to college age in 2000. More likely.
In the interview, she knew who Gates was, even though she started the interview by saying “who are you?”, because as the article notes, they’d met the previous year. Or did they? The article also states that in 2010 she claimed to have told friends that she met Gates two years earlier, making the first meeting in 2008. In any case, I find it odd that Nikolic, who worked for Gates, introduced her to Epstein. How did she meet Nikolic? Did Gates tell Nikolic to do that? Was Gates helping her, which would beg the question, why? It all sounds like a movie script. Ah, the lives of the rich and famous. Very complicated.
Normally, it's pretty easy to find out a famous person's birth year and if there are discrepancies, it's usually a couple of years. I could only find one source (that is likely not reliable) to even name a year when Antonova was born and it was unlikely: 1987. I found a few sources that said she met Gates in 2009 or 2010. A missing birth year seems a little sketchy to me, particularly since she ran around with a guy who liked young girls.
Epstein is on the record here and there, paying tuition for kids who were not his. He allegedly paid the school tuition of Virgin Islands Governor John de Jongh's kids. That could have just been a bribe. He also said he would pay for art school for Maria Farmer (who has the distinction of being the first Epstein victim to go public). I don't know if he paid her tuition or not, but Maria's younger sister alleges she was an Epstein victim, too.
Here's my question of the day. Did Epstein have children?
Did you see this breaking news regarding Epstein?
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/05/omg-ag-pam-bondi-was-covertly-recorded-revealing/
********
The O’Keefe Media Group on Thursday released undercover video of US Attorney General Pam Bondi revealing ... snip ... [in] an April 28 recording ... snip ... to a stranger in a DC restaurant that there are ‘tens of thousands of videos of little kids’ for the FBI to comb through.
“Do you know when the Epstein files are going to be released?” a concerned citizen asked Pam Bondi. “We hope soon.” When pressed for more information Bondi added, “No. You know what it is? There are tens of thousands of videos, and it’s all with little kids.” ... snip ...
The O’Keefe Media Group contacted Pam Bondi’s office on May 1 to request comment about the covertly recorded footage. A week later on May 7, Pam Bondi echoed her private statements to the public for the first time: “There are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn, and there are hundreds of victims, and no one victim will ever get released.”
“Why was this information held back in the first place?” James O’Keefe asked. “Does this show that the government apparatus is still working behind the scenes to protect powerful people involved in the scandal?”
**********
That makes me wonder that too. If they've got VIDEO of ANYONE other Epstein, who is supposed to be dead" sexually assaulting kids then those people should already be under arrest. NO EXCUSES.
I think James O'Keefe said or at least implied that there was video evidence of Prince Randy Andy attacking children.
The Epstein stuff is a mystery. I don't have many contacts but I do have a trustworthy source who was at NYPD at the time Epstein died and he maintains that Epstein's death was faked. Of course, I don't think he had first-hand knowledge of this, I think it was department scuttlebutt.
And the other day, in a hearing Kash Patel of all people said he believed Epstein committed suicide in prison. That's almost an impossibility given how that particular prison works--so why would he say that? I doubt he believes it, but he's going with the old narrative! Curious.
Why is the Epstein stuff so secret? Patrick Bet David said on a recent podcast that one reason to keep the Epstein stuff secret might be to blackmail people. In other words, maybe the government gets greater benefit using these videos to keep certain bad actors for acting badly... That was a new angle.
Another Epstein angle comes from Whitney Webb (author of One Nation Under Blackmail) who has researched Epstein and come to the conclusion that Epstein's "side line" was the sexual stuff. His real value to certain nefarious people was his ability to structure finances to launder money. This makes some sense: Epstein was supposedly super brilliant at math, he did a stint on Wall Street, and he did help the Clinton Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative set up their bookkeeping systems to favor the Clintons. So exposing him might reveal money laundering on a scale we have yet to comprehend.
How did Epstein earn his millions? And what happened to that money? I know lawyers ate up a lot of it since there was some legal wrangling over the money. A newspaper in the Virgin Islands (the St. Thomas Source) says that there are multiple beneficiaries including some "mystery beneficiaries," whatever that means. Plus I think some of his victims are suing the estate.
It has recently come to my awareness that Epstein wasn't the only person to own private Caribbean Islands. Richard Branson owns several (and, curiously, he owns an airline called "Virgin"). For a time, Frank Biden owned part of an island called Water Island (he was the owner but the deal was made through his brother Joe). Water Island had a station for a personal submarines and the Bidens had a personal sub. And Epstein Island was nearby and also had a docking station for these little submarines. (Ghislaine Maxwell was licensed to pilot these small submarines.) So is this sort of "private island" or "private club" thing more common than we think? Lord, help us!
The Giuffre "suicide" was a real wake-up call that suggest to me there is still something going on here.
Yes, there's a lot more to the Epstein story, which is why getting to the bottom of it is important. Potentially, hundreds of top people in US government and industry may be blackmailable as a result of their association with him.
Now you know how I’m always looking for the Fabian Socialist angle in events?
Well, In February 1891, this really wealthy English guy name Cecil John Rhodes met with with Alfred (later Lord) Milner, and a bunch of other important Britains, to draw up a plan for a secret society aimed at influencing or even controlling the world. It included an Inner Circle, led by Rhodes, and Outer Circle. Milner called the Outer Circle the Round Table. Its goal was to eventually establish a socialist world government.
In 1973, Historian Carrol Quigley, who attended and taught at Harvard, after 20 years of study declared the Milner Group/Round Table very influential. He wrote “This organization has been able to conceal its existence quite successfully, and many of its most influential members … snip … are unknown even to close students of British history.” He went on to note that it “dominated the British delegation to the Peace Conference of 1919”, “had a great deal to do with the formation and management of the League of Nations”, and “founded the Royal Institute of International Affairs [now Chatham House. All of those had strong Fabian participation.
When Milner died, leadership of the Round Table fell to Lord Robert Brand, then Adam Marris (son of Sir William). Sir William then succeeded Brand as managing director of Lazard Brothers Bank. Lazard hired Fabian Socialist Peter Mandelson. Court documents in the Virgin Isles vs JPMorgan case reveal that Mandelson was due to stay in his Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse while Epstein was in prison for soliciting underage prostitution.
Mandelson appears to have been introduced to Epstein by Ghislaine Maxwell. Messages between 2009 and 2011 and Epstein called Mandelson ‘Petie'. Epstein wrote to his JP Morgan banker, Jen Staley, saying “Peter will be staying at 71st over weekend, do you want to organize either you, or you and Jamie,, quiertly [sic], up to you.” Jamie was Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase.
JP Morgan claims Staley misled them. But the Virgin Isles says the bank knew about Epstein's trafficking of underage girls. The bank settled a suit brought by a woman on behalf of several of Epstein's victims for over $290 million. Apparently, Staley was identified in the suit, which accused him of engaging in assaults along with Epstein. In one 2010 email, Stanley told Epstein “That was fun. Say hi to Snow White.” Epstein replied “What character would you like next?” Of course, a spokesperson for Mandelson said “Lord Mandelson very much regrets ever having been introduced to Epstein” and he never had “any kind of professional or business relationship with Epstein in any form”.
Under a secret arrangement, Bush’s US attorney's office agreed not to prosecute Epstein - after which, in 2011, Staley, Lawrence Summers, Epstein, Bill Gates and Boris Nikolic, who was the Gates Foundation science advisor, posed for a photo while at Epstein’s townhouse (see this https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/12/business/jeffrey-epstein-bill-gates.html?).
Summers was Secretary of the Treasury under Bill Clinton, the 27th President of Harvard, and Director of the National Economic Council under Obama. Flight records show Summers flew on Epstein's plane on at least four occasions, including once when he was Treasury Secretary and three times while Harvard President.
The Time article linked above notes that Bill Gates started his relationship with Epstein AFTER he was convicted of sex crimes. It says that Gates met with Epstein “numerous times, including at least three times at Mr. Epstein’s palatial Manhattan townhouse, and at least once staying late into the night”. Obviously, there could be some very troubling names on Epstein’s list of clients.
And get this, “days before Mr. Epstein hanged himself in a Manhattan jail cell on Aug. 10, he amended his will and named Mr. Nikolic as a fallback executor in the event that one of the two primary executors was unable to serve. Of course, every one of these people now “deeply regrets” ever meeting Epstein. Just saying ,,,
Boris Nikolic--venture capitalist, runs Biomatics Capital which invests in biotech startups. Lot of genetics stuff, but that is also the cutting edge of medicine nowadays.
He comes from Zagreb, Croatia, and claims to have never had business ties with Epstein (although he was working with Gates). He's a member of the World Economic Forum, of course. He said he did not know he was named as some sort of executor of Epstein's will and said he would not serve in that role. Despite his accolades and prominence, there isn't a lot of info out there on him.
Here's a new angle on Epstein, and it's the globalization of crimes against children. I got this from a Mike Benz podcast. What if the Epstein files expose not just corrupt Americans but corrupt officials all over the world. These countries could be putting pressure on Trump and others to slow-walk the Epstein stuff. In other words, some countries might be holding us hostage--they'll work with us as long as the Epstein stuff never sees the light of day. This could involve European intelligence, Israel and other Middle Eastern countries, North and Central Americans... Not to mention royal families (not mentioning any names but their current king's initials are Charles III).
With many powerful nations and intelligence agencies involved, the Epstein files may be protected. The fact that they're protected to me is proof enough that they contain information that could bring a good many world leaders (and their governments) down.
On July 7th, Netanyahu visited Trump in Washington for a private meeting. Also on July 7th, the Trump DOJ did a complete 180 and released a memo that effectively said that the Jeffrey Epstein matter is just a big to-do about nothing. One wonders if the two are connected since one possibility is that the Epstein was a Mossad operation.
Move on from Epstein is what Trump has been saying ever since the memo came out. First he had a very strange response to a question about Epstein by a member of the press during a cabinet meeting and then today he made an equally strange Truth Social post: https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114842356238631061.
Combine that with his suddenly endorsing UNIPARTY RINO Lindsey Graham and sending more arms to Ukraine, I’m left wondering if the Deep State and/or Mossad have gotten to Trump. And if he has no interest in telling us the truth about Epstein, do you think he’s going to investigate and tell us the truth about any of the other things we NEED his administration to investigate before the next election? I don’t.
The truth is that he’s gaslighting us now for some reason. I fear his presidency will effectively be over if he continues doing that. Too many questions are being asked that he’s not being forthcoming about. And when he says to ignore Epstein because they rigged and stole two election, the question is why don't Bondi and Patel (the DOJ and FBI) seem to be doing anything about it?
The strangest comment of all in his Truth Social post is that “They created the Epstein Files”. What does he mean by that? We deserve a full explanation. And if the UNIPARTY created info to implicate him, he needs to trust that we'd believe his innocence. After all, if there’d been something real in the files damaging to him, the Deep State would undoubtedly have already used it against him. In my view, that's prima facie proof there was not. And if the files implicates others, then they need to be investigated. Why protect them? It makes no sense.
One thing is for sure … Trump throwing this under the rug and expecting us to simply drop this matter will not fly. It's too late for anything other than the truth.
Today, Trump released this statement on Truth Social ... https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114863203348237352 . Trying to understand why Trump would say such a thing to many in his base, I read every post that people made on a CTH thread about it. First, this comment by Dhyana struck a chord:
------------
It seems to me we would find out if Epstein is a hoax by releasing the files, all of it. President Trump has made an accusation and he expects MAGA to just take his word for it? Show us the evidence. Pam Blondie could have followed through on her public assertions about the Epstein files and delivered. She didn’t. So, instead of it blowing over, it’s not going away. The President equating Epstein with Russiagate is gaslighting. Also, he was the central figure in Russiagate, whereas in the Epstein case, he is not. According to Alex Acosta, he was told by superiors that Epstein “belonged to intelligence.” So, Epstein has the added feature of involving intelligence agencies, either foreign or domestic. It’s no surprise to me that the U.S. government is trying to shut this down. Blowing open Epstein exposes the deep state and its nefarious activities. Up until now, President Trump was David to the deep state Goliath, which is why so many, who would never vote for a Republican and who formed the MAGA coalition, voted for him. Not now. As Robert Barnes says: “Will he drain the swamp or will the swamp drain him?” Given the way he’s handling this, he’s at serious risk of the swamp draining him.
------------
But then, looking back at early comments, poster Betsy jones made some very good points about those who had controlled the evidence during the Biden administration: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/93cbcf70e969e76088e96c2ed992f7a6c6073f43c830281050a77630f9b84e24.png . I can believe that the democRATS and RINOS who instigated so many hoaxes the past 12 years against Trump and MAGA are not above having scrubbed the evidence of any thing that might have hurt them and fabricated bogus evidence that would hurt MAGA if revealed. And there now might not be any way to prove what really happened. It would just be another bogus smear job that the left would use to impede Trump and MAGA's agenda.
As a result, I've decided to give Trump the full benefit of the doubt and just accept that he has valid reasons for not releasing further evidence or pursuing the matter further. One thing I'm sure of is that Trump did nothing wrong with Epstein and that he's a good, moral, decent man. He's proven that over and over and over. I do hope that if it can be proven that specific democRATS altered or destroyed Epstein evidence that the Trump administration will prosecute them. In fact, that might be a way for Trump and his administration to lessen the impact of this mess.
Finally, I found this article which logically examines the Epstein matter and reinforces my decision: https://www.frontpagemag.com/who-really-backed-epstein/ . It points out that it's democRATS who have indeed backed and protected Epstein at every turn. As the author concludes, "The Epstein case matters because it shows how corrupt the Democrats are. And those trying to divert attention from the Democrats to undermine Trump with their own agendas are not only hurting the president, but are aiding Epstein’s real backers so that their crimes will continue." Just saying ...
