Who I Think Is on the Epstein List

 

BFF?

I have no business speculating on the Jeffrey Epstein list, but here’s my speculation.

I believe the most plausible reason the Epstein client list or its equivalent has not been released is that he was an intelligence agent. Exposing more would destroy some intelligence operation.

This would explain how he became rich despite no relevant background.

He was not, I speculate, Mossad, as some are suggesting. Seems to me the point of his Lolita Island was that it took him off the US coast; the CIA is not allowed to operate within the US. If he were with Mossad, there would not be this need. Mossad may come up only because of antisemitism. It fits with the eternal trope of an International Jewish Conspiracy.

And the Trump administration would not have great incentive to avoid blowing up an Israeli intelligence operation.

The names we hear of, supposedly among the Epstein clients, tend to be famous Americans. This suggests a deep state coup.

And the failure of the Trump administration to release the information suggests that the CIA has some means of controlling them as well.

The obvious explanation is that Trump too is on that client list. Allan Dershowitz says he has seen the list, and it includes some people pointing fingers at others for being Epstein clients. That could include Trump.

Countering this, it is said that Trump actually blew the whistle on Epstein originally, and cooperated with investigators when others would not. And the fierce opposition to Trump by the deep state and the media seems best explained by the thesis that they had nothing on him, that they felt they could not control him.

So we’re back to an intelligence operation.

It may be that the speculation centres around famous Americans only because of the natural local bias of the media. It is an old saw in journalism: you always want a local angle. Three locals dying in a car accident is more newsworthy than 300 people dying in a bus crash in Bangladesh. It may be that the bulk of Epstein’s actual clients were foreigners—like Prince Andrew, the one person actually identified so far.

Epstein visited Israel and was introduced by Dershowitz to government figures there? Don’t assume from that he was working for the Israelis. The simpler assumption, per Occam’s razor, is that he was working for the CIA to set honey traps for Israeli politicians.

I think the reason the Trump administration will not release the list is that it will include the names of prominent foreign allies. A Trudeau, a Macron, a Netanyahu, a Boris Johnson, or the like. 

Here's a Conspiracy Theory for You

 

A smiling face

Scott Adams has pointed out that, once you set up a secret service, it is only a matter of time before they take over the government. You are sending them large sums, with little democratic oversight, or oversight of any kind—because of the need for secrecy. They essentially do whatever they want. It is only a matter of time before these folks seize their opportunity to control government.

The KGB, or what was the KGB, has been in control of Russia for some time. Putin was their guy; before him, Andropov.

Assuming that the CIA, FBI, and/or associated agencies is already in control in the US explains a great deal. It explains why the Democratic field last time folded abruptly before Super Tuesday in favour of Biden. Something was obviously happening behind the scenes, something well-coordinated and with the ability to reward and punish--with greater ability to do that than the eventual nominee. It explains why the Democrats’ Iowa caucus was botched—it was producing the wrong result. It explains why the Democrats went for Biden and Harris, both incompetent party hacks; best to have compliant people, known good soldiers, with no fixed opinions of their own. It explains why they hated Tusi Gabbard, the Democrats’ most attractive candidate last race. She had principles, and so would not be easily controlled. Bernie Sanders was obviously controlled opposition, never meant to win, just to make it all look legit. The minute he was on the cusp of victory, twice, in two races, he folded. It explains who was able to get to Jeffrey Epstein, and how they had the means; it explains many unexplained and improbable suicides by Clinton aides and various political operatives. It explains the apparent rigging of the 2020 election in various ways; after rigging the media coverage, suppressing the Hunter laptop, and forging evidence of a Trump-Russia connection, Trump was still winning on election night. So they suspended the counting, started again next morning, and, miraculously, reported all kinds of extra ballots, all supporting Biden. It explains how determined they are to get Trump out of the race, by any means necessary: like Gabbard, he is not controllable. 

Occam’s Razor begins to argue in favour of such a conspiracy: it is the simplest explanation of many observed facts. Including the fact that “conspiracy theories” are now taboo.

RFK Jr. believes the CIA was involve in the assassination of his uncle JFK. He claims his father thought so too. He believes this is why the relevant documents have still not been released, sixty years later. 

That might have been the point at which they first seized control.

In Canada, there are signs of a similar conspiracy; growing signs. The ability of Andrew Scheer to overtake Maxime Bernier for the Conservative leadership looks possible, but surprising. Yes, there are always factions playing dirty tricks behind the scenes. But Bernier, as we have seen since, was a bit of a loose cannon; Scheer, a former House Speaker, was compliant and agreeable, a smiling face. The abrupt fall of Scheer looks equally odd, as did the sudden withdrawal from the race of all the top candidates except Peter MacKay, within a couple of weeks, very like the coalescing around Biden in the States. The more so since at least two of them eagerly ran in the next contest. O’Toole looks like he was controlled opposition. He unexpectedly won nevertheless; but then embraced the MacKay platform. He was a good soldier; he could be allowed to run because he could be counted on to do what he was told.

There seemed again a heavy-handed effort to prevent unwanted candidates from running to succeed O’Toole. This time the deck seemed stacked in favour of Poilievre. This is a bad sign.

Tom Mulcair’s loss of the NDP leadership also looked highly suspicious. He hadn’t won power, but the NDP cannot expect that; he seemed their best candidate, and deserving of another shot. It looked to many observers as though the vote that ousted him was rigged. 

And Jagmeet Singh’s dogged commitment to supporting the Trudeau government no matter what does not seem to make any electoral sense for the NDP--as though he is taking orders behind the scenes, and the voters and winning votes are not his main concern. Rather like those candidates in the US who now no longer even bother to get out and campaign. It’s all, as Stalin said, in who counts the votes, not in who votes.

Trudeau himself resembles Biden in being incompetent in the job, and obviously not qualified. He’s not interested in governing, just in acting the part. The very sort you want, if you are controlling things in the background.

Interestingly, though, the security services seem to have withdrawn their support for Trudeau. It was someone from the security services who blew the whistle recently on Chinese election interference. 

We may have two warring factions. Which would be relatively lucky for Canada.
