The secret unknowns

 

For the record, I *did* know that Sheridan worked for Goldman Sachs years ago, but it´s still kinda funny that a conspiracy guy worked for *that* company, LOL.

Alla de här dödsfallen är såklart en ren tillfällighet, eller hur? 

Epsteins "svenske" scout hittad död

The Epstein class didn´t kill itself

 

What the fuck even is this? Republicans in Ohio blocks a law against child marriage! Yes, you read that correctly.  

A propos...something

 

I do realize that the term "Epstein class" is popular and powerful. But strictly speaking, it´s actually rather strange. After all, Jeffrey Epstein was arrested twice for sex-related crimes, and even served time once. His partner-in-crime Ghislaine Maxwell is still in prison for trafficking. If Epstein and Maxwell were so bloody powerful, why did they end up in jail? If Epstein was murdered, OK, why was *he* succesfully disposed of, and not somebody else? 

It´s obvious that Epstein and Maxwell weren´t *really* that important. They were the eminently disposable pimps of the establishment. In a very real sense, they were not the "real" Epstein class...

Patsy boy? 

"We know that the (would-be) killer is MAGA". 

The last Boomer propaganda movie?

 

An interesting critique of Steven Spielberg´s movie "Disclosure Day" (which I haven´t seen). You have to watch the entire YouTube clip to get it. The new "Da Vinci Code"? 

Hmmm...

Presidential pardon

 

The push to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell is building as we speak...

*Did* Epstein kill himself?

 

Hmmm...

So nice to "meat" you

 

Thomas Sheridan is...I suppose "back in force" is the best expression. Well, let´s hope he´s wrong, cough cough cough. Note that the thumb nail shows the Met Gala?!

Thomas isn´t eating processed food anymore. Especially not chicken. You can´t guess why. Or maybe you can.

The Young Turks (TYT) on the Melania Trump situation. Developing?

The Melania

 

Melania Trump´s unexpected speech on Jeffrey Epstein has been spun by the mainstream media as simply a denial that she had anything to do with him or his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. But as perennial gadfly Michael Tracey points out on X, the really weird part is that the First Lady is calling on Congress to launch a new investigation into the Epstein files! This despite the fact that Donald Trump wants everyone to drop the entire issue. Is the POTUS trying to distract attention from the seeming Iran debacle by re-opening the Epstein case? That would be...richly ironic.

This is gobsmacking. Not only did Melania Trump suddenly decide to give a televised address about Jeffrey Epstein, she's calling on Congress to "act," because Epstein was "not alone." So she just threw a giant stick of political dynamite on the issue her husband despises!

I don't know about you, but my head is still spinning over this Melania speech. WTF! Sure, there are photos of her consorting with Jeffrey and Ghislaine over the years, and maybe a fleeting email here or there, but has she ever really been THAT big of a focal point in the speculation? (Because now she definitely WILL BE...) She denied wrongdoing. What wrongdoing was she ever even accused of? Did anyone notice that while she was at it, she could've declared that her husband also didn't do anything wrong, but conspicuously chose not to...? Why suddenly make a televised statement on Epstein this afternoon -- apparently without Donald's knowledge -- calling for Congressional action and public "survivor" testimony, because, she claims, Epstein did not "act alone"? Donald has always been adamant that he feels the country should move on from Epstein. It's certainly not something he feels should warrant any further political or legislative attention. But... that's exactly what Melania just called for! So again, WTF!

There are conflicting opinions and reports about whether Melania chose to deliver this gobsmacking Epstein Speech with or without the consent, or knowledge, of Donald. One report suggests Donald was given a "heads up." But this could just be something like: "Heads up, Melania is about to give a speech." Doesn't necessarily mean Donald was involved in the planning of it. He could've simply been told about it at the last minute. Other reports suggest he had no knowledge that his wife was about to speak on Epstein, and call for renewed political action on the matter. So this at least appears to have been the personal initiative of Melania. Still, speculation will abound that it was plotted out in concert with Donald. Even though this would blatantly contradict Donald's repeat admonitions that everyone should forget about Epstein, and concern about the Epstein Files is a "hoax" cooked up by Democrats, as well as a cohort of "stupid" Republicans. Though of course Donald is not above contradicting himself, and is in fact becoming increasingly erratic/volatile, this would certainly be an all-time Whopper of a contradiction. For now, we simply don't know what gave rise to the Melania Epstein Speech, which is what makes this episode so gobsmacking.

Bondi out

 

- Hello, dear Sir! Bondi...Bondi...Bondi!!!

Apparently, Pam Bondi has been fired by the Commander in Chief. Seriously, does anyone even care at this point? 

Body double

 

Jeffrey Epstein has a doppelgänger, known as Palm Beach Pete. And yes, the body double is *literally mentioned in the Epstein Files*...

You can´t make this shit up. 

"One vengeance for all"

 

An anti-American/anti-Israeli video from the Iranian regime is going viral right now. Note the reference to Epstein Island! I admit that its rather smart, as propaganda goes. I´m old enough to remember when the Khomeini regime wasn´t even trying to adapt its messaging to Western or American sensibilities...

The Zen of Disclosure

 

Damien Echols on UFO disclosure and the Epstein files. Well, I don´t think I agree...

Car crash

 

Michael Tracey (the leading and perhaps only "Epstein skeptic" in the world) actually posted this himself on his YouTube channel and even self-ironically titled it "CAR CRASH interview". Which seems to be about right...

Wake up to politics

 

I´ve covered this before, but opinion polls supposedly suggest that most Trump/MAGA supporters are in favor of Operation Epic Fury. The number of MAGA Republicans who support the war is much larger than the number of non-MAGA Republicans who do so. This is true both in percentages and in absolute numbers. Only 3% of Republicans identify clearly as both MAGA and anti-war. From this, some gadflies conclude that there isn´t a "split in MAGA" over the Iran war. It´s all sound and (non-epic) fury from the legacy media, signifying nothing. 

However, there seems to be a problem with the relevant polls.  

Those who self-identify as MAGA usually take that to mean "100% support for Trump". The label is ideologically empty and is used to express extreme trust in the person of Donald J Trump. Those who oppose the Iran war will probably not identify as MAGA for that very reason. But this skews the result. If "MAGA" just means "I love Trump", then almost *by definition* MAGAs will be much less likely to oppose Trump´s policies on any issue. 

The writer of the first article linked below believe that the midterm elections *will* cause trouble for Trump since many new Trump voters in 2024 were independents and are likely to switch their allegiance (many of these might be opposed to the war or dissatisifed for other reasons). However, he believes that this isn´t the same thing as a major split in MAGA, since the MAGAs who are "Trumpier than Trump" (Steven Bannon, Tucker Carlson, MTG) command very little support.

I can´t help wondering if political commentators are simply talking pass each other. They have different definitions of what "MAGA" is supposed to be. The ideologically orthodox populists may be a minuscule group and perhaps nobody outside their circles gives a damn about what Bannon is saying, but if a larger group of independents leave the "MAGA coalition" (in the broader sense), Trump is in trouble anyway! And that´s true even if this particular group is smaller than the MAGA cultists for whom Trump simply can do nothing wrong. Elections can be decided by a few swing voters... 

Another interesting finding (second link) is that 26% of Republican voters believe that Trump started the Iran war to distract from the Epstein files, while a whopping 81% of Democrats think so. 

There is no MAGA split on Iran

Majority of Americans think Trump launched Iran war to cover up Epstein scandal

We are all QAnon now

A slightly worrisome thought

Epstein didn´t suicide himself (part 2,019)

 

This isn´t funny, but I can´t help laughing anyway...

Hot take

 

What if Operation Epic Fury (Furry?) isn´t a diversion from the Epstein Files, but from a much more important batch of Q drops. Yes, exactly: that would be the UFO files (a.k.a. X files). U really think it´s a co-incidence that the attack on Eye-Ran came just after the Donald´s spat with Obama (a self-professed alien from Krypton) I DON´T THINK SO!!!
