    Default Re: Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell: the whole story so far

    I'm not familiar with the details of this case, or, how true the last allegation is. But if there is anything to it, then it may be found in this very substantial notice of waywardness as originally reported in Time 1991.


    Scandals: Not Just a Bank

    “We were representing a joint venture and chasing a sale of military equipment to the Belgian government. We had gone pretty far down the line when suddenly B.C.C.I. showed up, representing the Italians. I was staying at the Hilton in Brussels, and I got a phone call from a B.C.C.I. guy asking me to come down to the lobby. When I go down, there’s a B.C.C.I. guy, Pakistani, and next to him is this 220-lb. French guy named Andre — the kind of guy who stuffs people in car trunks. They have business cards with a B.C.C.I. logo. So Andre says, ‘You’re getting out of this thing. This is our deal.’ Then the other B.C.C.I. guy says, ‘You’re out, and go and tell your client you’re out.’ They scared the hell out of me. B.C.C.I. had two functions, as bagmen and as thugs. They pushed the competition out.”

    Bagmen, thugs, arms deals and B.C.C.I. Common ingredients, it turns out, in the murky world of international arms sales, where experiences like that of the American dealer quoted above are common fare. While prosecutors and auditors from governments and regulatory bodies continue their scramble to unravel the role of the Bank of Credit & Commerce International in the world’s first truly global financial scandal, TIME has learned that what looked like a bank was in fact a multipurpose, multinational enterprise. In the past two decades, the organization created by Pakistani financier Agha Hasan Abedi has become, among other things, a powerful player in the netherworld of international arms. Using the clandestine routes and alliances originally created for money laundering, B.C.C.I. has brokered, financed and, in some instances, initiated transactions that have often upset the uneasy technomilitary balance sought by the U.S. and other major powers engaging in government-to-government sales.

    Many of the B.C.C.I.-brokered arms deals are perfectly legal, involving shipments of conventional weapons — rocket launchers, tanks and even sophisticated jet fighters such as the Mirage 2000. But many more are not. Moreover, government sources, former B.C.C.I. bankers, and arms merchants doing business through B.C.C.I. have described the bank’s more sinister role in providing nuclear-weapons technology for Pakistan, Iran, Iraq and Libya — nations widely believed to be pursuing development of the so-called Islamic bomb to counter the nuclear force they assume Israel possesses. According to these sources, B.C.C.I. has also been busy providing Pakistan and other customers throughout the Middle East with the capacity to deliver such weapons.

    Though the discovery of irregularities led to the shutdown of B.C.C.I.’s banking operations last July, Abedi’s $20 billion “bank” is in fact far more complex. It is a vast, stateless, multinational corporation that deploys its own intelligence agency, complete with a paramilitary wing and enforcement units, known collectively as the “black network.” It maintains its own diplomatic relations with foreign countries through bank “protocol officers” who use seemingly limitless amounts of cash to pursue Abedi’s goals. B.C.C.I. trades massively and for its own account in commodities ranging from grain, rice, cement and coffee to timber, carpets and anchovies. It is a force to be reckoned with in international oil markets and, through its intertwined relationship with the Gokal brothers’ shipping interests, is a shipping conglomerate as well. Taken altogether, B.C.C.I. commands virtual self- sufficiency as a purveyor of goods around the world.

    Through its practiced use of false documentation, the deployment of billions of dollars in unbooked letters of credit, and clandestine arrangements with compliant government officials in numerous countries, B.C.C.I. was ideally positioned for its role as arms marketeer to the world, particularly the Middle East. Though its tracks are often difficult to detect, TIME has discovered B.C.C.I.’s fingerprints on a startling array of transactions. Among them:

    — The victorious allied march into Kuwait City in the wake of Desert Storm was spearheaded by a contingent of returning Kuwaitis. Few if any noticed, however, that the Kuwaitis were riding atop Yugoslavian M-84 battle tanks — upgraded versions of the Soviets’ workhorse T-72 — complete with East European backup personnel. Sixty-four such tanks and crews had been purchased, financed and supplied to the Desert Storm coalition forces by B.C.C.I.

    — An ongoing project in Abu Dhabi to develop a standoff land-attack missile system for the emirate’s fleet of Mirage 2000s is being financed by B.C.C.I.

    — Recently B.C.C.I. brokered the sale of OF-40 Mark 2 main battle tanks — also to Abu Dhabi — from Italian arms manufacturer Oto Melara. B.C.C.I. later obtained and financed a dozen S-23 180-mm artillery guns from North Korea for Dubai.

    — In the past three years B.C.C.I. has brokered and financed the sale of Astros II battlefield multiple-rocket launchers from Brazil to both Iran and Iraq. The enterprise has also sold Chinese Silkworm missiles to both countries. A spokesman for Avibras Industria, maker of the Astros rocket system, concedes sales to Iraq but denies any sales to Iran or any deals involving B.C.C.I. A spokesman also allows that the company received “insignificant” financing from the Brazilian B.C.C.I. bank that was used for “domestic purposes.”

    — B.C.C.I. arranged for the sale of Argentine TAM battle tanks to Iran in 1989, arms sources report. Argentina’s Defense Ministry denies that any tanks were ever sold to Iran.

    — B.C.C.I. supplied Iraq with French-made Roland antiaircraft missile systems and with G-6 mobile artillery units from South Africa.

    B.C.C.I. did more than finance or broker arms deals between nations that couldn’t risk exposure of politically embarrassing relationships. Arms dealers from Europe and the Middle East, as well as a high-level operative from B.C.C.I.’s Karachi-based black network, have separately provided TIME with nearly identical descriptions of some of B.C.C.I.’s elaborate services for the sale of conventional weapons. “They could handle everything,” says one of those sources. “Brokering, financing, letters of credit, false end-user certificates, shopping, spare parts, training and even personnel. You could order a bomb, a plane to deliver it and somebody to drop it.”

    With that kind of muscle, B.C.C.I. was able to secure substantial business from one of the world’s pre-eminent makers of military aircraft, Dassault Aviation, the French company that produces the Mirage jet fighter. According to Arif Durrani, a B.C.C.I.-financed Pakistani arms dealer now doing time in a U.S. federal prison for illegally providing Hawk antiaircraft missile parts to Iran during the Iran-contra era, one of the biggest Mirage dealers in the world is a Pakistani multimillionaire named Asaf Ali. “Just as Ghaith Pharaon fronts for B.C.C.I. to purchase banks and businesses, Asaf is B.C.C.I.’s man in the weapons business,” says Durrani, who financed many of his weapons deals through B.C.C.I. offices in London and New York City. While Durrani has made a number of other claims that have been contested by the Justice Department, another well-placed source confirms that Asaf Ali is backed financially by B.C.C.I. in his worldwide deals and that he brokers Mirages, including some top-of-the-line Mirage 2000s that were sold to Iraq, Libya and Abu Dhabi, among other countries.

    In a recent deal, Asaf, displaying the political dexterity of a superpower, brokered the sale of 49 Mirage 2000s to India and then, to maintain parity, provided Pakistan with a similar number of new and used Mirages. To fill the Pakistani order, investigators looking at the deal say, he rerouted nearly two dozen Mirages, yet to be paid for, originally brokered through B.C.C.I. to Peru. A political scandal enveloping B.C.C.I. in Peru focuses in part on the financial transactions in the on-again-off-again Mirage deal. But last week a Dassault spokesman, Francois Prigent, briskly dismissed any responsibility. “The shipment to Peru is the business of Peru; what happens to planes after we make a delivery is up to them.” The firm also denied connections to B.C.C.I. (“Banks are chosen by clients, not by us”) and to Asaf Ali (“We don’t know that man”).

    But arms merchants interviewed in several countries say otherwise. “Asaf Ali has been an important Dassault agent for years, and everyone knows that,” says a French businessman who has worked on arms deals in Pakistan.

    The arrest last month of a retired Pakistani general brought into sharp focus B.C.C.I.’s role in selling nuclear secrets. General Inam ul-Haq, who was arrested in Germany, has been sought since 1987 by U.S. authorities in connection with the purchase of nuclear weapons-grade steel for Pakistan’s bomb-development program. The Justice Department says that B.C.C.I. was Inam’s financier, and the U.S. is seeking his extradition. The alarm has spread to other branches of the U.S. government. In a recent letter to Attorney General Richard Thornburgh, Senate Governmental Affairs Committee chairman John Glenn, a Democrat from Ohio, expressed concern that “B.C.C.I. has been providing financial services to agents of the Pakistani government for the illicit purchase of nuclear weapon-related commodities in the United States and in other nations.” Glenn urged Thornburgh to pursue “a full examination of such activities.”

    “B.C.C.I. is functioning as the owners’ representative for Pakistan’s nuclear-bomb project,” says an international businessman who has worked through the bank to supply Pakistan’s nuclear-weapons and missile industry. “In the West, Abedi presented one face, but in the Muslim world, he and his bankers have always promoted themselves as a Third World, Muslim bank that would eventually dominate global finances by using oil dollars and Abedi’s network of influence. And he whispered in the ears of the sheiks and the generals that he would bring them the Muslim bomb.”

    While munitions-control experts in the U.S. have evidence that B.C.C.I. played a role in the delivery of munitions-grade nuclear hardware and technology to Iraq and Iran, it is the Pakistanis who are the chief beneficiaries of Abedi’s multifarious services. “You can’t draw a line separating the bank’s black operatives and Pakistan’s intelligence services,” says an international arms broker, who provided details of recent B.C.C.I.-generated orders for nuclear-bomb supplies for Pakistan. “And in Karachi his bankers are surprisingly patriotic.”

    Sources also point to China as a supplier of nuclear hardware for Pakistan, as well as missile-delivery systems for Pakistan, Syria, Iraq and Saudi Arabia, including a B.C.C.I.-brokered sale of midrange ballistic missiles to ( the Saudis in 1988. By way of explanation, they cite B.C.C.I.’s close banking relations with China, where $400 million in assets were frozen after the bank’s offices were shut down in July. Abedi’s bank had been the first Western-style bank allowed to operate on the communist mainland, in part because of Abedi’s early support of CITIC, the Chinese investment company that is the doorway to China’s military-industrial complex. China, starved for hard currency, has thus far not signed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty or missile-technology-limitation agreements.

    Arms dealers are not the only ones to describe a pact between Abedi’s bank and China’s weapons industry: according to State Department sources, China has also used B.C.C.I. as a middleman in Silkworm missile sales to Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. The Silkworm missiles sold to Iraq and Saudi Arabia were equipped with sophisticated Israeli-manufactured guidance systems, the government sources say. Arms dealers who have done business with B.C.C.I. say its officers attracted illegal deals because the bank provided documentation and letters of credit for arms being shipped, for example, as agricultural machinery, and that it routinely handled arms moving out of Eastern Europe and masked technology transfers from the West into Soviet bloc countries. The East bloc trade was so lucrative that Abedi traveled to Moscow in 1985 to promote more weapons deals and to lobby for permission to open B.C.C.I. branch offices in the Soviet Union. Former employees have told TIME that B.C.C.I. associates found it easy to bribe arms-factory managers and officials within the Soviet Union because of low pay, but that perestroika had cut into B.C.C.I. profits there. Reason: some government officials who favored the bank because of payoffs had been removed from their positions.

    The very act of operating simultaneously as a bank and as a broker gives B.C.C.I. an enormous advantage: it is instantly able to fund virtually any deal it wants and empower any middleman it chooses to pull such a deal off. The B.C.C.I.-brokered sale of F-4 Phantom jet parts to Iran from the U.S. offers a good illustration of the process. The deal starts when B.C.C.I. learns from its sources in Iran that it wants to buy spare parts. B.C.C.I. and its agents then research the supplier market to obtain the price of the materiel. Because U.S. restrictions on the sale of such equipment to Iran make this particular deal illegal, B.C.C.I. next provides a falsified end-user ; certificate saying the jet parts will be sold to Israel. The bank then opens a letter of credit — a form of financing only a bank can do — in favor of the seller or the seller’s agent and arranges to ship the parts. Because B.C.C.I. is a large bank, it can afford to pay off the seller immediately, then turn and collect a vastly larger sum from Iran.

    In spite of the virtual global shutdown of B.C.C.I., the bank remains intact in its traditional haven, Pakistan. Though other press reports maintain that Abedi is physically frail and often incoherent, TIME has interviewed several business associates who say he remains a major figure in the international weapons trade. He has held a press conference within the past month, and is in the process of licensing a new bank in Pakistan, called the Progressive Bank.

    In the meantime, B.C.C.I. is even now brokering an arms deal to Abu Dhabi, involving the sale of 45 South African G-6 mobile artillery pieces. If B.C.C.I. can hold it together, sources say, Abu Dhabi may buy as many as 55 more of the same pieces.

    The Price Waterhouse audit that led to B.C.C.I.’s seizure last July covered only its banking activities. It said nothing about immensely profitable deals in other businesses, notably weaponry. Nor could it account for profits it could not see. And while the enterprise’s known banking services are shut down around the world, virtually the full cadre of B.C.C.I.’s black network, arms traders and global operatives remain unindicted, unaccused and at large. The best guess of many of the sources TIME interviewed is that they will simply move on, perhaps under the umbrella of Pakistan’s newest bank.

    Trump still covering up is just confirmation of his guilt... gilt into sordid heinous crimes against youngsters.... also 13-year old... Katie Johnson v. Donald J. Trump lawsuit... she was 13.years old.. Epstein told her she should be proud that a rich and famous guy... guy like Trump "popped her cherry".. when she complained about lack of protection, Trump threw money at her and said she can get an abortion... that is in Court papers!

    Trump must be hiding something ‘really bad’ in the Epstein files | Joe Walsh


    “What’s in there about Trump must be really, really bad for him to continue to try to keep these things hidden.”

    Trump is angering his own MAGA base by refusing to release the unredacted Epstein files, a move that suggests full disclosure would be even more damaging, says former Republican presidential candidate Joe Walsh.

    Some more photos from the Epstein files. The next one is destined for infamy. Notice that we don't see her reflection in the mirror.
    [Edit: I just found the image below is not newly released and has been publicly available, probably for decades. It is from the 1992 Clinton inauguration. But it still has that "Eyes Wide Shut" look to it. ]

    Kremlin Taunts US With Epic Pic After Trump-Melania-Epstein Photo Goes Missing, DOJ Scrambles


    The Epstein files dump has triggered political panic in Washington, but Moscow is watching with open amusement. As heavily redacted pages fuel outrage, Russia’s elite is mocking U.S. secrecy using culture as a weapon. A striking reference to Malevich’s Black Square is now being used to ridicule America’s blacked-out disclosures. With deleted files, vanished images, and unanswered questions swirling around Trump, the DOJ, and Congress, the controversy is growing darker by the hour. What was released may matter less than what quietly disappeared.

    You are here long enough and active enough on the forum to know that there are a serious rule about posting A.I. (artificial intelligence) material which this clearly is.

    Most of the recent Epstein images on this thread are available because of the hard work, determination and sacrifice of many courageous people to make these images available to the public. It is sad to see all these efforts trivialized by A.I. fantasy garbage video like this, which, with the proper disclaimer about A.I., would be more appropriate for the Q-anon threads, where there is no border between fantasy and fact based reality.

    Well my apologies for offending - it was so obviously AI, and in my view incredibly artistic AI but with a deeper meaning, that it did not occur to me to point it out in advance.
    -
    The opening image had Epstein taking a selfie with Kubrick on the key bloodline-ritual set of Eyes Wide Shut! - and then all the scenes that follow.

    I will know better not to assume it's ok when obviously AI in the future, so thanks for that correction....

    However, your bringing up and trashing the Q information psy-op here (out of the blue), makes me wonder about the possibility of any long-held grievances you might have toward some of us here and requires a factual response from me.

    Quote Most of the recent Epstein images on this thread are available because of the hard work, determination and sacrifice of many courageous people to make these images available to the public
    I have been following and posting/sharing info about the Epstein story for about as long as anyone here (in on page 2 of this thread), and Q drops were quite instrumental in bringing some photos and some of this info into wider awareness starting over 8 years ago, a fact of which perhaps you were not aware?

    You started this thread in 2019, but we folks were discussing Q posts about Epstein and Epstein Island well before that.

    Epstein Island's temple and evidence for construction equipment hastily ordered (to fill up tunnels? better bury victims?), Prince Andrew and Rachel Chandler photos and social media were examples of earlier (fact-based) reality from that source.


    Yes the early Q-light-shining in this area resulted in anon-penned tangents, fantasies, and deliberate obfuscations, but it rapidly resulted in a large increase in the number of folks aware of Epstein, Pizzagate, and related evil bloodline-family activities, and the value of doing one's own research.


    Quote The first Q post featuring "Epstein" appeared on the message board 4chan on November 11, 2017.

    THIS IS AN AI SUMMARY

    (and it's use of the term Qanon is mainstream BS, there is no Qanon, only Q, as a source of postings, and anons who researched and shared what they learned or suspected.)

    Quote
    Jeffrey Epstein was frequently referenced in Q postings (or "Q drops") and became a central figure in the QAnon conspiracy theory. QAnon adherents view Epstein as a key example of the "deep state" or "cabal" of powerful elites involved in a global child sex-trafficking ring.

    Jeffrey Epstein in Q Postings

    Evidence of "The Cabal": Epstein's real-world crimes, high-profile connections, arrest, and mysterious death were interpreted by QAnon followers as validation of their core belief in a secret society of pedophiles and Satan worshipers that Donald Trump was destined to defeat.

    Specific References: Q, the anonymous figure behind the postings, mentioned Epstein dozens of times, often pointing out his connections to Democratic politicians and other powerful figures. QAnon "sleuths" pored over available digital media, such as flight logs and photographs of Epstein with various public figures, looking for "clues" to support their theories.

    "The Storm" and "The Great Awakening": The Epstein case was integrated into the QAnon narrative of "The Storm" (a supposed day of reckoning) and "The Great Awakening" (mass public awareness). Epstein's arrest was seen as an initial success in bringing this secret cabal to justice.

    Focus on the "Epstein Files": The release or withholding of documents related to Epstein became a major point of focus within the QAnon movement. Followers expected these files to expose a "client list" that would incriminate many powerful people, particularly those on the left.

    Shifting Narratives: When the actual documents released by the Department of Justice and FBI provided little new incriminating information or a "client list" as speculated, some QAnon followers became frustrated with Donald Trump's administration for not revealing the "truth". This led to internal confusion or new, baseless conspiracy theories, such as claims the files were a "hoax" created by the Obama or Clinton administrations.

    Urgent Cement Delivery
    On November 7th, 2018, Epstein had a $100,000 self-loading cement mixer delivered to his island using an Express Bill Of Lading – an unusual and expensive shipping method that does not require the cargo to be “released”. This shipping method requires the customer to pay for the goods up front, making them responsible if damage occurs during shipment. In short, Epstein needed this machine fast.



    The Carmix 5.5 XL features a loading shovel that can hold 160 gallons and a drum capacity for 2000 gallons of cement.

    The elite definitely does not want the truth about Epstein and his island to be revealed to the public. Since the heat was put on the billionaire months ago, there’s been desperate efforts to filter, erase and destroy damning evidence on Epstein’s properties. This extreme panic culminated in the extremely suspicious “suicide” of Jeffrey Epstein, a convenient death for hundreds of power people who knew him.

    Because there is much more to the Epstein case than the “soliciting of minors”. It was operating a massive system of child abduction, transport, and abuse that involved a great number of high-powered individuals. And it is suspected that the most violent and horrific acts were being committed far from public view: Inside underground tunnels on Epstein’s remote private island.

    In the article Jeffrey Epstein: The True Ugly Face of the Occult Elite, I examined several bizarre and symbolic features on Epstein Island. One of them was the presence of entrances that apparently lead to underground tunnels. I also mentioned sources that have been claiming, since last year, that Epstein was spending millions of dollars to bury tunnels underneath the “temple” on the island.

    This week, the Daily Mail released exclusive information that seems corroborate these suspicions.

    The Carmix 5.5 XL features a loading shovel that can hold 160 gallons and a drum capacity for 2000 gallons of cement.

    While the cement could have been used for regular construction, the timing and the urgency of the shipment are suspicious. William George, an analyst with shipping data firm Import Genius, stated:

    “While the purchase of the cement mixer on its own is not suspicious, particularly given the reported and approved repair of cisterns on Little St. James, both the timing of the shipment and the fact that it’s the item in our records shipped with an express bill of lading do raise concerns.

    The shipment arrived Epstein’s island on November 7, 2018, 21 days before Julie Brown’s expose was published in the Miami Herald and 23 days before Epstein allegedly began to try to pay off witnesses.

    Considering both the scope of Brown’s article and the urgency of the shipment, the possibility that the cement mixer was used to literally cover up evidence cannot be discounted.”

    Q drop # 1054 Pictured are (left to Right) Prince Andrew, Virginia Roberts and Ghislaine Maxwell in 2001. At the time, Roberts was 17 and Maxwell was the girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein. She was said to be tasked with acquiring and managing underage girls for Epstein and his friends.








    Rusty Shackleford starts posting drone videos on You Tube and Q links to several of them.





    Drone footage with commentary of Jeffrey Epstein's Island from 2019 originally shot and uploaded to the youtube channel Rusty Shackleford. This is a complete set of all the footage, in chronological order, with Rusty's original descriptions before each clip. I add commentary over the original footage as most of the clips had no audio, or classical/ stock music. The commentary is me sharing my knowledge about Jeffrey Epstein, his crimes, history and some facts about his Island, little Saint James in the US Virgin Islands. I tried to verify the dates, tittles, and descriptions as best I could, but if you have more information on them please comment that down below! Notable buildings on the Island would be the Temple, The sundial that looks like a magical symbol, as well as several small residences, a dock and a beach bungalow. The footage shows just how much time went by on Epstein's island before the FBI raid took place (5 weeks) as well as all the construction/remodeling activity that the employees of LSJ were allowed to complete. The drone footage of Epstein's "pedophile" island (as Rusty Shackleford calls it) is an important piece of history that needs to be preserved for future journalists who want to study the Epstein case. Hope you enjoy! The clips are uploaded in the order Rusty originally uploaded them which is mostly chronological, except there is footage of Great Saint James from 7/11/19 on the wrong spot. I decided to leave it where it was in Rusty's honor. It's what he would have wanted! lol. Also I do not believe Rusty was John Mcafee.

    @JackPosobiec
    The latest Epstein file drops are bombshells

    As Benz laid out: Epstein personally negotiated contracts for Southern Air Transport—the CIA's Iran-Contra gun-running airline—and relocated its ops from Miami to a Columbus, OH military base to service his companies.

    This links straight to his Bear Stearns-era clearing trades for BCCI (CIA's money-laundering hub for Brits, Saudis, Israelis) and handling Adnan Khashoggi's arms-dealing cash. No coincidence—Epstein was an intelligence asset, shielded by the deep state

    This basically confirms that Jeffery Epstein was a CIA asset.

    And his efforts to get powerful people in compromising situations with underage girls was an "Operation Honeypot" to control politicians and powerful business leaders. He was protected until he became a liability.



    Alex Jones
    @RealAlexJones
    As I first reported 18 years ago Jeffrey Epstein’s companies served as a CIA front, just like AIR America-Evergreen Transportation did during the Vietnam War.

    All of this was directed by George Herbert Walker Bush through his agent, Gov, Bill Clinton of Arkansas via Mena.

    I have interviewed several of the CIA pilots like Terry Reed and the the green beret who coordinated the operation.

    That green beret Larry Nichols was also Bill Clintons right hand man..

    Good one... I’m starting to believe that this was done intentionally... and more to come... because anyone working with documents on a PC, should at least know the basics with copy and paste ... this intern who was redacting these docs... knew it was wrong what was said in docs.. and since his bosses were clueless about technology.. “redacted” some segments in ways that look redacted but weren’t really... thank to this person, who did this...

    Hello guys and gals, it's me Mutahar again! This time we take a look at the newest developments regarding the Epstein files and how not only can some be unredacted but also the newest drops contain information that we've never seen till now and frankly it's getting more and more disturbing.

    Yes, many of the 'blackout' redactions can be easily UNredacted. (And Wow.)

    Here's Kim Iversen, this clip from her new show published an hour ago:

    EXPLOSIVE: The Epstein Files Are Out — They’re Worse Than We Thought


    Edit to add:

    My best guess to explain this is that in many cases the blackouts weren't opaque black image rectangles superimposed over the text. They were just black highlighting.

    That would mean that to the naked eye the black text on black background could not be read. But if you simply copy and paste the text, then it all shows up as if the black highlighting just wasn't there at all.

    That's a lot of time and I personally have not really paid attention to it.

    That is because this "old" story just has a current or real-time feel to me, in the sense that, at that time when the first pictures were made, I would have said those are people you should arrest first and interrogate later, and violate their due process, which is a crime. That doesn't bother me, but it complicates being able to respond.

    With respect to these "files" -- of what? Personal communication?

    Is there evidence or any kind of a case? I have the feeling I have just watched one of the most egregious presidential pardons ever contemplated by mankind.

    I don't understand attention being paid to this 4chan post. Is that because of Satan? Finding the House of Saud in an "influential" position is not news.

    Taking the island "temple" to be an actual thing, it is in those ugly Israeli colors. It looks like Florida. Whoever is behind this is not a personality that can be taken seriously. That means they have no scruples and will stop at nothing, they, themselves, not exactly matching the qualifications for Right Sektor, express deviant urges in another manner that has its own designer fragrance.

    Epstein Document Says Donald Trump WITNESSED MURDER OF NEWBORN BABY!!!


    Jesse talks about new documents from the few Epstein Files that have been selectively released by the Department of Justice, including a letter that seems to be from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar that indicates, "Our president also shares our love of young, nubile girls." In another document, which is an FBI evidence intake form, a woman makes claims about the presence of Donald Trump, while Jeffrey Epstein disposed of her newborn child by throwing the body overboard from a yacht on Lake Michigan.
