Participantthe proper way to understand the Epstein imbroglio is that it is a protection scheme. Once one enters into the bodega continued access to perversion is guaranteed. The beauty of the scheme is how easy ii is to convince those on the outside there is a blackmail aspect to the environment. Those participating are able to convince the rubes there a few bad actors being coerced into quid pro quo arrangements. John Q Public is the one being extorted, not anyone in the miasma of perversion.

• Trump Moves Toward Moscow’s View On Ukraine Talks (Lukyanov)One of the points that the Duran keeps harping on in a sarcastic tone about Trump is that he seems to take the position on a subject, any subject, from the last person he talked to before he makes a major decision.
The Duran implies that the people around Trump know this about him, like a Giant Personally TELL, and strive to be the last one to have his ear.
Not a very reassuring thought.

ParticipantMoody’s downgrades US debt rating? Why does anyone believe anything Moody’s says, or believe the other 2 ratings agencies? These businesses gave triple-A ratings to subprime mortgage junk bonds.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2013/09/13/credit-rating-agencies-2008-financial-crisis-lehman/2759025/The big three credit-rating agencies — Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings — are still trying to repair their reputations as being a level-headed, sharp-penciled bunch following the collapse of Lehman. These agencies are roundly criticized for not only failing to warn investors of the dangers of investing in many of the mortgage-backed securities at the epicenter of the financial crisis, but benefiting by not pointing out deficiencies.
_
“We conclude the failures of credit-rating agencies were essential cogs in the wheel of financial destruction,” according to the report submitted by the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission in January 2011. “The three credit-rating agencies were key enablers of the financial meltdown. The mortgage-related securities at the heart of the crisis could not have been marketed and sold without their seal of approval.”
_When questioned about their failures the rating agencies claimed their advice was merely an opinion, not in any way a factual statement that could be prosecuted.
https://ccbjournal.com/articles/recovering-subprime-crisis-rating-merely-opinion
“The rating agencies assert that they provide opinions, not investment advice, yet they actively work with investment banks to engineer transactions1and with CDO issuers to achieve targeted ratings.2As the media has put it, rating agencies work with banks to “develop the worst possible product that would still achieve a certain rating.”3The agencies’ role in structuring CDO transactions not only capitalizes on their market power, but moves them away from their traditional role of ratings publishers. The substantial fees that the agencies collect to rate a transaction – they charge as much as three times more to rate a CDO than to analyze a bond4- remove the agencies further from their traditional role.”So… asking again… why would anyone still believe Moody’s or others as offering sound investment advice?

Participant“Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” Narrowly Passes House In 215–214 Vote
That’s what happens when you have the blackmail files. Wot a shock. He’s a Dictator who can barely get things done, has 50.050% support and 49.95% resistance. Arrests no one, changes nothing…as Dictators do.
“Spain’s Socialist Govt Pours Taxpayers’ Millions Into Equality Plan To Combat Nationalist Surge
Well this is what all Democracies want, right? The government uses all taxing power to choose its own parties, transferring wealth from one Political Group to another. Helping one, repressing the other. What else do we pay taxes for except to pay for our own oppression and stop (market) choice?
In call for Erdogan settting up Syria: “End Of An Era: Kurdish PKK Disbands After 4-Decade Fight Against Turkey”
What a coincidence! Kurdish problems solved. Yet another American proxy problem ended, like Ukraine.
“Bibi Defiant, Unfazed: ‘All Of Gaza Will Be Under Israel’s Control’
Trump said to be “frustrated” & just wants the war to end…But Trump loves Bibi and the war I heard… BothNeitherAiii.
Jon Stewart, “It’s not a cover up when we all already know.” As the Docktor said yesterday.
““If they came out and said Biden found out on Friday died last year, I wouldn’t be shocked. And I understand the excitement over an insidious Democratic cover-up about Joe Biden…”
“Because we all f***ing knew. All of us knew. There was no cover-up.”
““How fucking weird it is that the news is selling you a book about news they should’ve told you was news a year ago … for free,” Stewart brayed.
Breaking news! At Eleven! ….About 3 years and 364 days and 23 hours from now. That’s what “News” is…when you hide it for 2, 4, 6, 10 years. THEN tell you what they knew then.
https://youtu.be/LFeUo-nOxQU (22 minutes.)
If I had blackmail, trying everything, all things to break through people believing CNN, have CNN sell a book, meta-reality, that they did NOT report the news and never have. For days, weeks, months… Every 10 minutes on TV. “Hey you know that thing we never reported on, lied to you about? Yeah, we’re reminding you now.”
“Megyn Kelly ended Jake Tapper’s career today. Total bloodbath. She left him rambling, speechless, and admitting he helped cover up Biden’s decline.”
…Continuing. Same goal achieved.
Tucker: That’s how you know you’re in a cult. When great leader comes out, says something as convincing as he possibly can, and everyone laughs in his face and calls him a liar, instantly, and always.
““As an inferior court, we’re duty-bound to follow Supreme Court rulings – whether we agree with them or not. We don’t have to like it. But we have to do it..”
Yup, that’s a Dictator. Dictators always do what other people, other officials tell them.
“He’s telling you what’s coming. Are you listening”
Don’t care. My Arrest-o-Meter is stuck on zero.
Epstein’s Temple sucks. Total McMansion. Hope he didn’t pay any money for it. I’d rather buy a Denny’s.
“• Ukraine Wants Putin-Zelensky Meeting – Foreign Minister (RT)
Yes, so they can assassinate him.
“• EU Agrees €150 Billion Militarization Plan (RT)
Last time they said this, they didn’t actually have any money. No taxing power, and the promises were, “Out until 2036 and the infinite future.” Anything change? Well anyway, YOUR MONEY MEANS NOTHING TO ME, as you need casings, powder, trucks, oil…
“US Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (recognized as a terrorist in Russia).
• 500% Tariffs on Russian Trade to Cause Economic CalamityMercorus was really into the “Bone-crunching Sanctions” of Graham. Yeah, um those are called “words” and they mean nothing. Russia won’t notice. And the “Shadow Fleet” they’re fighting is defined as “People who refuse to by shipping insurance from Lloyd’s of London and bought it elsewhere.” Wow! Sounds awful! Practically a genocide or something to use the competitors in free markets. This is the errant pedantry up with which we shall not put!
““US Attorney General Pam Bondi and acting US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro are currently on the scene..”
Why? Isn’t this like a normal D.C. crime, a mugging? Oh wait! I forgot! The FBI takes the case for every common robbery in the city as we found out for Seth Rich. Nevermind. So when a Jewish baker is killed in my city in a mugging, are they gonna fly out? He made good halva.
“• ‘Golden Dome’ – US’s Unbreakable Shield or $175B Fantasy? (Sp.)

“• MAGA Think Tank Staffing Trump 2.0: America First Policy Institute (Wegmann)
Might be a change from Agenda 2025 (or whatever) that the Left can’t read and understand. That was a grab bag of all Conservative think tanks, half of which are moles. Goldberg. Then they say because this is a think tank, Trump is slavishly going down the list and must MUST install them all and nothing else! …Because they’re children who don’t read good or do other stuff good either, or women who just gossip and don’t ask, I guess. This one might actually matter, who knows? But there have been Think Tanks for centuries, at least since the Cold War in this form, and didn’t matter either. If everyone has “an idea” and all 25 ideas are put out, then the GOVERNMENT picks ONE. Yeah, that’s actually the same as when there are no think tanks.
Kellogg-Witkoff. He is going to pick ONE of these. One may just be some retard in the corner we give rye crackers and crayons to and ignore to keep him busy. The only thing that matters is which we DO. ACTION, not words. I can’t believe people can’t grasp this.
WORDS MEAN NOTHING with these people, pretend they don’t exist. (Personnel is policy)
“• Tracking Iran’s North-South Corridor (Pepe Escobar)
MacKinder soundly broken. WWI was just about the Germany-Turkish railroad remember, 40 million dead, and this is way worse than that. “Then a miracle happens” when in the same area, Armenia blows up, then India-Pak.
“Like all superheroes, ex-FBI Director James Comey has an origin story”
Yes, and like all such stories it is probably false. He and his brother made it up because they’re psychopaths and kept doing it. That’s why breaking the law and lying is his go-to. Always worked before, no consequences yet.
Rice crisis: And here I thought they paved everything and bankrupted all the farmers like they did here. Boy am I glad they didn’t do that and everything’s fine in Japan! Not like the countryside is so shattered houses are going for $1 or anything.
“The rice crisis controversy is causing the public to lose confidence in the government at large.”
So which lettermen are staging this then? And the LDP? Japan is a one-party nation, essentially. Of course it’s them, that’s how they do things. Like California, also a one-party system, it’s which faction IN the party.

Mass Death, Population Decline, and Deprivation: A Capability Approach
ABSTRACT
Genocide and mass violence research is predominantly focused on asymmetric, large-scale, deliberately targeted physical violence over relatively short timespans and involving stable perpetrator and victim groups.
Recent attempts, such as Dirk Moses’s, to redefine the field in order to be more inclusive of politically targeted groups, persecuted over longer time-spans within and across states go in the right direction but still fall short I argue.
Instead, I propose a capability-based approach, following Amartya Sen, that enables consideration of a far broader range of violence’s consequences such as starvation, systemic malnutrition, excess mortality from disease, and economic deprivation.

MAGA Think Tank Staffing Trump 2.0: America First Policy Institute
By Philip Wegmannhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America_First_Policy_Institute
The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit think tank that was founded in 2021 to promote Donald Trump’s public policy agenda.According to DeSmog, in mid-December 2024, “Trump’s cabinet picks so far have more direct links to AFPI than any other organization.”[7]
AFPI sponsored a transition project[8] which was viewed as a rival to Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025.[9]
At its annual policy summit in May 2025, the organization announced that of the 196 federal policies they had drafted and recommended in 2022, over 86% had been “advanced or enacted” during the first one hundred days of the second Trump administration.[10] The organization also said that 73 of its alumni had been hired by the Trump administration. In addition to Brooke Rollins and Linda McMahon, the list of those formerly associated with AFPI now working in the Trump administration includes Pam Bondi, Doug Collins, Lee Zeldin, Scott Turner, John Ratcliffe, Kash Patel, and Kevin Hassett.[10]

If judicial culture does not improve, the count will increase and the perpetrators wont shout and get caught at the scene.

+ 80 killed…by foreign occupiers in Gaza today, terrorism sort of, the state sponsored kind.
Count on it, there will be as little investigation and redress of it as its absence from these and other pages forever and ever Amen.
Notice how the 2+80 cannot be found until the end of the subtitle.
I bet miker doesn’t even read that far.The UN says no aid that has entered Gaza this week has reached Palestinians
I’m reminded of Orlando Letelier and that assassination.
Here’s a take on it …breathtaking what ppl will of it and how much nothing of it they will make of when they’re disinterested in connecting IT to their original premise.
Such positioning and conduct are generally reserved for Historians, Hagiographers and tenured professors of history.
D do a kindness a gently nursesplain ‘hagiography’ to miker.Onward….
Letelier, a big deal in death
-
the only act of state-supported international assassination in our nation’s capital.
Lots of caveats…I prefer civets
-
For three reasons, it stands as a watershed moment in the modern struggle of the U.S. and the West against terrorism.
Well, the Navy told us it Terrorism was the new Cold War replacement as Israel bombed not terroristically the Osirak nuclear facility in Iraq.
Got it
Not bad Terrorism3, Three, one more than 2, 80 less than 82
First
-
First, it was a rare instance of victims of terrorism seeking redress not with the weapons of war—invasions, spies, drone strikes, special ops—as our violent nation is prone to do, but with the armaments of peace—investigation, diplomacy, law, and the courage and persistence of two families. And the victims prevailed.
Yeah sure no weapons…buy it hook line and sinker
-
Second, the jailing of Contreras was significant for opening the legal floodgates and inspiring countless more prosecutions of terrorists
Inspirational indeed…..Cubans woven in there too. What’s not to like! Haters.
Third is below 2nd and not Fiiiiff!!
“Sure!” quoteth the author
-
Third and least appreciated, the Letelier case marked the end of U.S. tolerance of state-supported terror abroad. Sure, other U.S. allies have since committed atrocious acts at home, and Washington has often looked the other way.
“The end” amen again.
One can give out unlimited hall-passes for the right kind of ((Our People)) as long they’re not enemies.
***hat tip Marco del u Rubio, our States Man
