Enormous funds were being transferred, far beyond expected for sex-trafficking, and the money didn't move in ways typical of blackmail. But it's bigger than "leverage", money-laundering or bj's for rich guys. If "the girls" were the icing on the cake, we don't yet see the cake... or who baked it?
Latest Epstein files knock White House on its heels
The latest revelations stand to further fracture a party that already splintered once this year over the so-called Epstein files — during a much less politically fraught moment.

Not just about bj's for rich guys. Follow the $, the patterns of a financial conduit or intel asset, rather than a solo predator.
• State-sponsored compromise ops (CIA, Mossad, MI6)
• Corporate espionage, sex as bait for leverage
• Political blackmail, ties to campaign financing and lobbying
What we know about the latest Epstein emails referencing Trump
In emails released by Democrats, Epstein says Trump "knew about the girls". The White House says they are an attempt to "smear" the president.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States... The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

For a sociopath savvy in messaging and optics, his recent impulses prove he's now totally bonkers.The optics could not be more appalling. The East Wing? A ballroom? The Oval? A "Gatsby" party? He's fully blind to the symbolism, the destruction, to contempt for history, values, traditions, people.

Once-mighty CBS News has become a sad casualty of Trump's war on reality, coerced into "scribe journalism", dictated (in at least two meanings) by America's 'Dear Leader'. After extorting $16 million to approve the Paramount/Skydance merger, he praised Bari Weiss and the MAGAfication of the news.

In case anyone was wondering why Trump, shortly before his meeting with China's Xi, ordered immediate nuclear testing by his "War Department"? The answer may be 'Poseidon', a Russian nuclear-capable underwater drone that challenges nuclear defenses reminiscent of "The Hunt for Red October".
Putin says Russia's nuclear-armed underwater drone was tested successfully
President Vladimir Putin says Russia has conducted a successful test of a new atomic-powered and nuclear-capable underwater drone, declaring that the new weapon can’t be intercepted.

Thugs R Us/The Gravy Seals: Satire has become difficult in the Age of Trump, when the everyday reality seems so implausible, preposterous as to defy belief. What to do when "outlandish" isn't? Only manly men need apply, no girly behind the burly. Matricide counseling is available.

In the 'vision' of tech billionaires, a reliance on AI, including non-human 'friendships', serve a greater proportion of human experience via virtual-reality. In that paradigm, we live more 'simulations' than personal experience. And simulations can be designed for the agendas of power and control.

Harvard's Avi Loeb on 3I/ATLAS:
• Trajectory: 0.2% chance of it occurring naturally.
• Planetary Flybys: Path grazes Venus, Mars, and Jupiter - 0.005% chance.
• Perihelion Timing: Closest approach while hidden behind the Sun.
• Non-gravitational acceleration: Suggests propulsion or active control.

Trump provokes a war with Venezuela and picks a fight with Colombia, bent on regime change. He re-names it the "Gulf of America", but what is he really after? His sales & marketing mind and his only two remaining motivations - ego and greed - see opportunity. Venezuelan oil and Colombian cocaine.

Ten years of Trump has taught us “projection is confession” and that speaking the quiet part out loud is the flip side of incessant lying. So Trump speaks truth about an “enemy within”: a right-wing, anti-democracy, authoritarian, racist aggressive cancer that requires emergency surgery.

It's part of his psychopathology, the quiet part out loud - a reflex, the flip side of perpetual lying. The sociopath treats his vices as virtues; the imperial president rewards criminals and embraces a value system in which there are only grifters and suckers. And evil serves a greater good.

Facial-recognition software is now being tested on immigrants, for wider application later in their crackdown on "crime". As Stephen Miller insists: opposition = terrorism, protest = insurrection, DEI = unconstitutional. We just became criminals.
October 9, 2025 at 5:33 PM
For the rest of us it will be a crime to wear a mask, regardless of future disease outbreaks because it interferes with their facial-recognition software. When our constitutional rights of privacy are vacated by the Supremes, their ability to track us, in an attack on "crime", will become critical.

Just to be clear: Trump wants to train elements of the United States military to kill Americans in our cities. Excuse me, to "take them out". Like the small boats off Venezuela, summary execution, presumption of guilt. Provocations for war at home and abroad.

I'm not a baby boomer, I'm a "war child". Old enough to remember what anti-fascist means. And like books, the music of our generation is under attack be the new purity police. Many of the '60's "British Invasion" were children of the blitz. American folk and rock voiced protest. And we remember.
