The Week In Woke
President Trump on Thursday directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to pursue the release of grand jury records in the Epstein case, saying "this SCAM...should end, right now!" Bondi said she'll ask the court Friday to unseal the transcripts. Key Details: Trump said on Truth Social he had asked AG Pam Bondi to release "any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony" tied to Epstein, pending court approval.
Bondi responded Thursday evening, posting, "President Trump -- we are ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts."
Trump's directive comes just hours after The Wall Street Journal published a report about a birthday card he allegedly wrote to Epstein--an allegation Trump has called "fake" and vowed to sue over.
The police have been running this sort of trap operation, sending out notices to wanted fugitives that they're due some money from the government or whatever, for ages. There's nothing illegal about it, never has been. Translated by Google with light edits. I tried to translate it but was too lazy. Meanwhile, the French government is now literally telling its "citizens:" You have the right to free speech, but not the right to say things which are illegal. As the poster says: It's like a Soviet joke. Robert Spencer: A specter is haunting the Democrat Party. The specter of communism.
In New York, asylum seekers invited to court and then arrested after "trap" hearings
Masked and armed, they prowl courthouses in groups: US agents are arresting asylum seekers after "trap" hearings in New York, a sign that the Trump administration's anti-immigration campaign shows no sign of abating. The US president has made the fight against illegal immigration a top priority, referring to an "invasion" of the United States by "criminals from abroad" and speaking extensively about immigrant deportations. But his mass deportation program has been thwarted or slowed by multiple court decisions, notably on the grounds that the targeted individuals should be able to assert their rights. In recent months, Homeland Security agents have adopted the tactic of waiting, often with masks on, outside immigration courtrooms and arresting migrants as they leave. On Wednesday and Thursday, in a New York courtroom, armed agents with shields, employed by various federal agencies, including the Immigration and Border Protection (ICE), prowled outside the courtrooms, carrying documents on the targeted migrants. Nearly a dozen migrants from different countries were arrested in just a few hours on the 12th floor of a federal building in lower Manhattan. Brad Lander, the city's financial controller and a leading figure in the local Democratic Party branch, who was briefly arrested and handcuffed last month for "obstructing" agents on the scene, called the hearings a "trap." "These appear to be judicial hearings, but they are actually traps to encourage (migrants) to come to the scene," he said on Wednesday, noting several arrests, including that of a Paraguayan man whose asylum application was, he said, under review.
Well, the future, yes, and also the past and the present. In Spain, "far right racist" groups started up trouble. Again. And when I say these groups "started up trouble," I mean of course that roving gangs of immigrant invaders beat the living shit out of an old Spanish man for no reason and the actual citizenry of Spain got a bit bothered about it. The disgusting state socialist media outlet the BBC:
This time it's real, and undeniable. The Democrats have for years denied, with varying degrees of scorn or anger, that they are Communists, despite hating both free enterprise and borders, which are just the sorts of things you'd expect socialist internationalists to hate. Now, however, the deniability is no longer even close to plausible. As the Democrat candidates move ever farther to the left, it's clear: A spectre is haunting the Democrats. The spectre of Communism. ... Yet even as Marx and Engels claimed that they were unleashing a power that all the European elites were determined to destroy, they likewise immediately insisted that those elites were engaged in battle with an imaginary threat that they themselves had conjured up: "Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of communism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?" That sounds quite similar to accusations Democrats have hurled at Republicans over the years: "How dare you question my patriotism," and all that. As the Democrats' policies grew progressively more anti-American, the gang of hacks, DEI hires, and grifters that once proudly styled itself as the Party of Jefferson and Jackson did everything it could to make people think pointing out that increasingly obvious fact was both ridiculous and offensive. And so, ever fewer people have dared to do so, even as it became even more obvious that hating America and having a taste for Marxism went with being a Democrat like arrogance and self-righteousness went with being Barack Obama.
Now, however, it's impossible to deny. The best and the brightest among young Democrats are all avowed socialists. The party would have chosen a socialist, Bernie Sanders, as its candidate for president in 2016 and likely also in 2020 if party top dogs hadn't stepped in and arranged for the candidacy of someone who was at least outwardly more mainstream. All the while, Democrats insisted their socialism was nothing to be worried about, but was of an extremely cuddly variety. One of the foremost among the party's up-and-coming new socialists, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Swizzle Stick), maintains that what she has in mind isn't the bad old socialism of the Soviet Union, Communist China, Pol Pot's Democratic Kampuchea and the rest, but a type involving more unicorns and moonbeams. "So when millennials talk about concepts like democratic socialism," she explained, "we're not talking about these kinds of 'Red Scare' bogeyman." Yeah, tell all the victims of Stalin and Mao that it was just a "scare." Those hysterical right-wingers were having the vapors over nothing. ... The Communists are clearly the future of the Democrat Party.
Fourteen people arrested after anti-migrant riots in southern SpainJust after "anti-migrant riots," huh? Was there no precipitating event before that?
Ohhhh! So there was a precipitating incident. By the way, for days the BBC denied that the vicious thugs were migrants, despite widespread local testimony that it was the Beloved Newcomers who had beaten this man nearly to death.
A total of 14 people have been arrested and extra police have been deployed after an attack on a pensioner sparked anti-migrant unrest in a small town in southern Spain.
That is a foul lie. The man did not show "extensive bruising." One of the man's eyes was blood-red from being punched and the other eye was black. I don't mean he had a black ring around the orbit of his eye, like a normal shiner, I mean his eyeball itself was completely black because it had been filled with blood after the attack. And that blood then went black. I'm not going to embed the photo because it's upsetting but click here to see it. "Extensive bruising." Filthy liars. In Germany, nine underaged girls were sexually molested by Maryland Men, by which I mean Syrian terrorist migrants." The Christian Democratic Union mayor of the town said that global warming was really to blame, because it made the Syrian Newcomers irritable and therefore filled with the desire to rape children.
Three people of North African origin have been detained on suspicion of attacking the 68-year-old man in Torre Pacheco last Wednesday. The unrest began after a video circulated on social media, inflaming the town of 40,000 people which is home to a large immigrant population. The pensioner and police later said the video was unrelated to the incident but social media calls to find and attack the perpetrators multiplied quickly. By Friday groups armed with batons could be seen roaming the streets of Torre Pacheco. One far-right group called "Deport Them Now" called for attacks on people of North African origin. Further messages on social media have called for renewed attacks on immigrants over three days this week. A leading member of the extremist group was detained in the north-eastern town of Mataró on suspicion of spreading hate speech. The 68-year-old victim of last Wednesday's attack, named locally as Domingo Tomás Domínguez, told Spanish media he was thrown to the ground and hit while taking his morning walk. A photo circulating on social media showed his face bearing extensive bruising.
"You're not doomed yet, but..." ICE raided a Home Depot for illegals.
California actually cooperated with ICE and turned over a criminal illegal alien being released from prison. It's unclear if this is Newsom easing off his insurrection, of if the facts about this criminal are so bad -- he killed children while drunk-driving -- that it would be politically toxic, and perhaps criminally chargeable, to help him escape.
Trump issued a new order: If "protesters" attack ICE agents during a raid, pause the raid to arrest the "protesters."

Cooper is giving a James Burke/Connections level dissertation on Epstein's life.
Weird random fact:
Donald Barr, Bill Barr's dad, who gave college drop out Epstein his first job, worked for the OSS and in his spare time would right lurid novels about Alien's who would abduct humans as sex slaves.

the grand jury report is the ONLY thing that should / can be released.
the FBI file is compromised.
so, if NY says Nah to the DOJ request, not sure there is another way.
regardless the Left and the Panicans will still freak out anyway because the grand jury report will inevitably have redactions.
at this point I'm not sure what exactly would satisfy some of these people.

The Epstein Operation, it’s not just scandal. It’s not even conspiracy.
It’s a schematic diagram of how power actually functions.
Not the performative version. Not the West Wing fantasy where the President makes a decision after a moral monologue and an orchestral swell.
No.

Interconnected. Insulated. Ferociously self-sustaining.
A decentralized web of intelligence agencies, arms brokers, oil-stained dynasties, contractor billionaires, and pseudo-philanthropic tech aristocrats playing at immortality with blood and bandwidth.
Not one of them elected.
Not one of them accountable.

21 Donald Barr, Bill Barr's dad, who gave college drop out Epstein his first job, worked for the OSS and in his spare time would right lurid novels about Alien's who would abduct humans as sex slaves.

Someone said that suggesting Epstein worked for Mossad was anti-Semitic.
That's like saying Epstein was working for CIA is anti-American.

People hate to admit that sometimes nothing will ever be resolved. This is not like a murder with dna, this is a he said, she said shitshow with any evidence more like an asteroid field than anything that can be charged criminally. One of the prime accusers is dead, the prime villain is dead, and Ghislaine has kept her mouth shut for years about what she knew etc. proclaiming to one and all that she was innocent as the driven snow. There are twenty or so active cases of victims suing Epstein's estate plus one where the victim is suing both the estate and Ghislaine. There will, if the federal judges allow, grand jury testimony released. But if that happens, Ghislaine may walk if Scotus kills her conviction and remands
On the other hand, the Obama sedition conspiracy keeps tying up evidence together than his henchmen were doing illegal shit and continued doing that through the Biden junta area.

Because once you have the tape, the wire, the signature, you have the man.
The general. The Tech CEO. The judge. The Prince.
And they’ll sign whatever you put in front of them.
Policy. Weapons contracts. Surveillance expansions.
It’s all scripted. And we’re the audience clapping for a show that’s already been sold in syndication.
You think the President of the United States calls the shots?
He’s a mascot.
A focus-tested sock puppet for quarterly optics and nuclear pageantry.
He doesn’t run the country.
He opens summits and closes school shootings with tweets.
The real decisions get made in rooms you’ll never see, by men whose names don’t appear on ballots, but do appear in Cayman bank ledgers and private flight manifests.

That democracy is the user interface.
The source code belongs to something else entirely.

Tells you more about them than what occurred.
If spooks were involved, any evidence of their shit is long gone---if one reads actual CIA released files--what you get from active ops is guesses, surmises, code named informants with codenamed handlers, situation reports from the media, and all sorts of ancillary shit that has more dots to connect than those cheap connect the dot pix. People spent decades on the JFK stuff and yet after most of the files have been released, it comes down to someone did something and someone else did something else.

I think he probably curried favor with the rich and powerful. He was Wexner's private investment banker and had some other ostensible financial clients. In that world, name dropping is frequently used. Ghislaine, for example, photobombed a lot of celebrities and wealthy types at events where she acted like their best buddy to get her pix taken with them.
So you got Bill Clinton, mebbe Killary, and bunch of mysterious dvds that might be only of Epstein with his girls (By testimony, Epstein had sex two to three times PER DAY), usually with different girls in his harem.
The reported child pron found could also be his personal stash. Most of those evil assholes tend to curate that shit and collect it from anywhere they can get it. Isaac Asimov's son, apparently had one of the largest collections of child pron that the investigators had ever come across. Somehow he got very lenient treatment (perhaps for testimony where he got the shit)

I can see Bruce Wayne in his down time making micro-loans in Africa to rubber tappers, for example. He could send Alfred's grand-nephew. It probably was more satisfying than chucking the Joker into Arkham Sanitorium yet again.

This week alone in Epping, UK, white men are trying to fight back. Guess who gets run over by a police van? An anti-migrant protestor. The migrants, by the way,are now called "boat migrants" as they are from France. Yes, Macron is exporting them when not fighting off Bridget, his manly wife.
One poor guy from Jamaica, a well known/NOT terrorist occupied island, asked a white 14yr old girl in Epping if she wanted little Jamaican babies. I'd epping do something to these people and be thrown in the Tower.
They catch and release on bail in the UK. Which is why I am possibly never going back there again. I do love the UK, especially Scotland.
The Tulsi story, by the way, has vanished of the UK DM page. I guess the master plan, as they wait for the Mother Ship, is to stall and delay printing the, um, news. I spit in their general direction.

Here's what we're supposed to believe:
Maxwell procured 36 underaged girls for Epstein only.
Instead of just doing them on his New Mexico ranch, he bought an island.
Once everything came to light, the FBI searched the island, then bulldozed it.
I'm sure I've missed some big things.

If he was just a "contractor" who had a long history since the 80's, he was both still a contractor and had a long history of money laundering and illegal flights in and out of South America that needed covering up.
There was an amazing amount of corruption and kickbacks flowing through the USVI according to the Panama papers, and this was echoed in Canada, Brazil and Argentina. I would not be surprised if he were just one of the "banking nodes" that got all the various corruptocrats to exchange and launder funds they stole.

If he in fact killed himself, it is because he knew the party was over.

If he was killed, it was probably by another prisoner accessing his cell and the guards looking the other way as well as being incompetent.
But, if teh swells/IC was so worried, Ghislaine would have disappeared permanently when she was on the run. You don't really hide anymore from the Borg.
The whole Epstein is alive bullshit doesn't fly either. Simply put, if the guy was a problem, then liquidation makes sense, not smuggling him out for a new life.
If we assume some sort of pedo Mafia behavior or lawless IC types, troublemakers and burned assets, even great ones got whacked if they were a threat to current ops.

Le Parisien is actually a pretty good newspaper. We know that most of Western Europe is really in trouble. Certainly the French are as well as the Spanish. It is hard to discern which country is in more trouble. I think the French have a larger group that wants to get rid of the globalists but I think Vox in Spain is better than national rally in France. The French have an entrenched way of continuing down the same terrible course on the other hand the Spanish seemed to be even more liberal as a populace. There isn’t a lot of good coming from that area. And amazingly the UK may be worse off than both of them.

Possible and the IC community uses such people to 'wash' bux to obscure its origin.
Most of the IC and LEO dirtywork is not done by undercover agents--it is cultivating and using assets to create arms length in any transactions. Thus, you get the Maltese POS guy that dirtied Papadoupolis, Richard Dearlove, former MI-6 chief who invited a Russian girl to set next to the guy. The mysterious 'businessman' claiming to be Israeli and giving Papadopoulos a suitcase full of cash. In that piece of shit world, most of the dirty work is done by disposable assets with wide deniability built in by design in these relationships.

>>I think he probably curried favor with the rich and powerful.
Well, that's definitely part of it.
Just peeling back the onion of the entity known as Epstein, reveals an interconnected web of some of the most powerful people in the world.
I'm just learning that Epstein's very first client when he struck out on his own was Adnan Khashoggi, Iran Contra Arms Middleman.
I mean, just think about this for a second.
The dude gets hired by former OSS operative Donald Barr as a college dropout gets booted from that job, many believe because he was getting handsy with the female students, then lands a job at Bear Stearns and becomes the guy who could help client hide their money, he get drummed out of Bear Sterns because of ethics violations and then when he strikes out on his own his first client is literally a notorious arms dealer, and that just takes up to the eightites.
There's so much more.
Epstein was not just some decrepit lech, he was mixing it up with some heavy hitters.
When Alex Acosta said Epstein belonged to intelligence, what he really meant that Epstein belonged to all western intelligence's.
He was a subcontractor who had a skillset that was in high demand.

And to be clear as a country, Spain is obviously in the most trouble. They don’t procreate in Spain, and their economy is not varied it relies heavily on tourism and forced migration to make up for the lack of young Spaniards to pay the old Spaniards.
Now the Spanish are revolting against tourists. This is something you don’t see widely in France although France is the most visited country with Spain coming in second. France has a lot of problems, but it is much more of a developed economy than Spain.
I don’t see how Spain gets out of this when your own people don’t procreate, and you rely on tourism, but the young hate tourism because it is raising their cost of living and ruining the ambience of their towns. If I were charged with fixing any country, the last one I would choose is Spain.

BREAKING: Federal Judge Tosses FBI Agents’ Lawsuit — Jan. 6 Names Could Be Released ⚖️
A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by FBI agents trying to block the release of their names related to the Jan. 6 Capitol protest investigations.
The agents claimed they could be targeted if their identities were exposed.
But Judge Jia Cobb — a Biden-appointed judge — said the threat wasn’t “imminent” enough and called their concerns “too speculative.”
The DOJ hasn’t said they’ll release the names… yet.
Let’s be clear:
These agents helped carry out one of the most politically charged investigations in modern history.

All the released Panama papers did not result in the conviction of anyone I think. The receipts will be for innocuous things--the ins and outs--attributable to losses and gains (especially with at least one fund that Epstein was allegedly managing), and so on. Killary did the same play with sugar daddy Tyson executive who took all the losses for futures trading and assigning all the wins to Killary.
Instead, you get a mobius loop like Data Republican gathered domestically except filtered through semi private banks on islands with strong privacy rights like the Caymans, vague investment instruments, etc.
Virgin Islands is also very close to a number of off shore banking sites beyond the reach of normal investigations.

If you want to focus on somebody, Wexner is the place to begin. Epstein got hired as Wexner's personal hedge fund manager with no other clients at the time, gave Epstein his NYC penthouse, and so on. AFAIK, they were still associated at the time of death. Wexner himself has murky history and likewise deviant sex lifestyle plus having supermodels on speed dial from Vicky's Secret.
