It’s not just Epstein as lots of junk’s being shaken out of what’s being revealed as a deeply corrupt Obama DOJ, and likely BushCo before him. Techno Fog on the latest Flynn case debacle, which impacts Mueller and the Russiagate hoax:
“The Court in the Flynn Intel Group (FARA) case rules that the DOJ has not presented evidence sufficient to establish ‘evidence of a conspiracy’ for the purposes of admitting the hearsay statements of alleged co-conspirators (Flynn).”
The more reveled in courtrooms, the thicker the entire web becomes, and it points directly to the massive corruption present within Obama’s terms beginning with his obstructing justice over the Wall Street Banksters many crimes that tanked the financial system. If Trump loathes Obama as much as he says, he ought to go after him over that failure to adjudicate as it was Obama’s job.

No one who wants to go digging into the Obama Justice Department is interested in the truth. The obvious starting point in a real investigation is Acosta. But nobody wants to dig there. At most they would be satisfied with Acosta falling on his sword so they could claim that’s done.
It is highly unlikely there is really a new case here. Thus the re-opening of the investigation is almost certainly political, aimed at the Democratic Party in the run up to the 2020 election. Like the Weinstein case, the threat of getting embroiled in an investigation is meant to deter contributing to the wrong party. Most of the high profile accused who actually suffered serious consequences have been Jewish, gay, liberal. The fall of Roger Ailes may have inspired the idea of payback? Bill O’Reilly’s settlements were expensive. And Sumner Redstone benefitted from Les Moonves’ exit.
On a purely abstract level, this is about presumption of guilt, increasing prosecutions, demanding maximum charges and sentences, prohibiting rehabilitation and guilt by association. No doubt many deem these to be worthy goals in themselves. Epstein is an inflammatory figure distracting attention from this.

Partisangirl, whose tweet accusing Epstein of being Mossad I posted earlier, poses an excellent question about the current NY Times article about him:
“Why is this coming from the New York Times?”
A lengthy thread provides numerous possibilities, some of which have merit.
Partisangirl also provides the following reply to 3 revealing questioners:
“Epstein’s partner ghislaine maxwell’s father was a Mossad agent.
-she was front row at Chelsea Clinton’s wedding and used trumps maralago to recruit under age girls.
-Epstein was friends with former Israeli president ehud barack.
-Epstein is a creation is Les Wexner, part 1/x”
More revealed in resulting thread.

The other story of using these girls to gain kompromat on people of power or knowledge by someones intel agency will be shielded from the MSM.

Old news his partner in crime is Ghilsane Maxwell daughter of Robert Maxwell. Les Wexner another zionist billionaire financed the operation.
Wexner may be shutting down the operation perhaps because he doesn’t like Trump anymore and wants him to go down with Epstein now.

Things start to get pretty darn crazy when Trump turns out to be the one you have to nod your head to… WTF…
“…Back in 2015, onstage at the annual CPAC conference, Trump said something very interesting about Bill Clinton. “Nice guy,” he said. “Got a lot of problems coming up, in my opinion, with the famous island with Jeffrey Epstein. Lot of problems.” Hoping people ‘above’ the “above my pay-grade” have said enough is enough of this evil Satanic energy extraction ritual sh*t…

Kompromat for sure. Epstein apparently made videos and stored them for safe keeping. Funny, Bill Clinton says he didn’t know anything about Epstein’s dirty deeds. Anybody believe that?
Obama Admin was dirty, shielding banksters, ratings agencies, from prosecution. However, the Manufacture of the Greatest Pump and Dump Real Estate Ponzi Scheme was developed and executed by the Cheney Bush Admin.
Though the operation was executed fully by the end of Cheney Bush, One can connect the Clinton Admin with earlier building blocks for the scam, such as
the elimination of the anti-trust laws which prevented Banks, Mortgage Co’s, Investment Brokers and Insurance Co’s from merging.
CDO’s and CDS and AAA rated junk paper was purchased by Mutual Funds and ended up in our retirement accounts. They’d already destroyed the lion’s share of employee pensions, replacing them with 401 K’s.
Point being that one admin bleeds into next, no matter the party. The new admin picks up the baton of the prior admin and carries it further.
The destruction of Socialist Yugoslavia began with sanctions by Raygun Admin.
It culminated in Clinton’s NATO bombing campaign.
That’s 20 years and 3 presidential admins.

Agree with dh, karlof1, etc. – and anyone who’s been paying attention long enough already knows that nobody “big” in the gov’t or media or deep state are going to face any genuine investigation much less consequences from this latest Epstein indictment/fallout.
As far as the various theories go such as a CIA asset, I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the case, but if it is none of “us” are ever going to be made privy to it. This is just “something to talk about” until the next false flag or celebrity sex cult makes the news.

If the majority of the blokes who succumbed to the temptations ‘laid on’ via Epstein’s largesse were goyim, then the mysteries surrounding the motivation and funding sources will all but solve themselves.
Didn’t someone post a link to a Gawker article purporting to contain the contents of Epstein’s little Black Book on a recent thread?
On the other hand, if the girls involved were old enough to pass as being of child-bearing age, and not pre-pubescent, when naked then this is a non-story. In fact it’s worse than that; it’s about Fake Western Values. i.e. Puritanism reigns supreme in matters related to sex & abortion, but mass murder, theft, genocide and outrageous lies are A-OK – for Judeo-Christians with a Colonial Obsession.

Not sure I buy the narrative of some folks here that the very rich won’t be touched by the Epstein fallout, yes they may not be directly affected by lawsuits but the mere fact names will be flying around related to the Epstein f*ckline, it will move the populous to treat those people very hard. Pedophile is a well known issue, forever and global, but, one thing is to keep it quite with loads of money the other thing is to face the population heads on and be marked as pedophile and never to be able to walk freely in public, ever. The ordinary people will never tolerate this, for the simple fact it goes against family, and that si still important, we will see more big guys involved and expose, more from alt media than MSM, but we may also see some sort of witch hunt from one sect of the very rich toward the other sect of the very rich, a civil war, and that would be a lose-lose for the very rich, all odds are wide open at this stage, what will define the sequence of this is the next big name on the string…will it Bill Clinton ? or other ex President or future candidate ?

Cernovich similar to Jones and other alt-right figures have their role to play in all of this, so it is not surprising he was the one to have the case reopened and not some unknown victim. Cases at this level are ‘allowed’ to move ahead or stopped in their tracks as happened in 2008.

He didn’t “win a case” he got the records unsealed:
“The 2nd Cir. has ordered the summary judgment record in Epstein’s District Court case to be unsealed.
“Great work from @Cernovich – who intervened to get these particular records unsealed.”
As Cernovich notes:
“Cy Vance – Democrat, gave Epstein a pass on sex offender status.
Acosta – Republican, approved plea deal.
Muller – Republican, signed off on FBI closing file on Epstein.
Schumer – Took money from Epstein.
Bill Clinton – Travel.
This isn’t partisan. Corruption at all levels.”
What’s good is that most people commenting on the threads I’ve read, including Cernovich’s, understand just how deep the rot goes, and that it’s not confined to North America.

I highly doubt that Epstein case will result in any arrests of high powered politicians or major celebrities (maybe they’ll arrest a few pilots or chauffeurs, but no billionaires). I also remember all the talk of Anthony Wiener’s laptop and his “Insurance folder”, but that didn’t lead to anything. If even 1/10 of all the rumors surrounding these people were true, it would rank as the greatest political scandal in the last 200 years and would be nothing less than a geopolitical earthquake that would totally reshape the Western world. It would certainly destroy the current Neoliberal international world order, as nations would become terrified that their political stability would harmed if their national elites would become enmeshed in another international scandal

Trumps ex-pal Epstein linked to intelligence. Makes sense given he has Robert Maxwell’s daughter doing the procuring. His was likely a black mail operation run by the intelligence agency
Trumps other ex-pal (partner) was also linked to intelligence. Bayrocks Felix Sater. I imagine some of their business practices could have landed Trump in jail unless like Felix he cooperated
Could Trump himself be a an intelligent asset? Perhaps under duress through his activities with Jeffrey and Felix.
If so, indeed the question is if its Israels or the US agency, or is there any difference now.
I don’t pretend to know the answers.
Whats the end game?. Comeys daughter is one of the NY prosecutors.Dershowitz is an Israeli puppet and was behind getting the sealed files opened. Is Clinton and the Dems the target or is it meant to pressure Trump to go hard on Iran or risk something coming out? Something else?
I cant help but wonder why nobody choses to remind us about the case filed against Trump in 2016, where a woman claimed rape at age 13 at Epstein’s apartment. Is wasn’t covered much at the time either. Apparently silently withdrawn. Curious no? Not even the so called Deep State Media that everyone believes was against Trump. Theydon’t seem to want to touch it now either. Maybe its just BS.
Of course, maybe just more distraction as they continue fleecing the bottom 90%

@Lozion (43) & Jared (27)
Pressure on Trump would seem to be a likely prime mover here. Many salivate over possible damage to former (dodgy) democrat politicians, but they, like Epstein, are merely collateral issues, for the reason that they no longer have any power or influence. They would undoubtedly be caught up and exposed, especially if Epstein takes the Nuclear option, hell, even a couple of Royal Family members may come unstuck, but at the end of the day they are not the main target. I believe pressure toward an Iran war to be the underlying issue. Others have commented that Trump seemingly doesn’t require a great deal of prompting to do Israels bidding, and, up to a point, that’s true. But there’s quite a lot of difference between moving your embassy or putting on some sanctions, and taking your nation to war against a very determined and capable opponent, and it seems clear from recent events that Trump would not take such an option unless forced. He’s out of his depth, but not a total moron. Even he could see that would lead to disaster, for the United States, as well as his re-election chances.

Protecting Epstein and his clients is secondary. The main goal is to protect his billionaire, Jewish, sponsors and whatever state sponsored him. The pleabs cannot know that their gov is corrupt but the bigger secret that must be kept is who is pulling the strings and how they are doing it.

Those who want to go all medieval with the lurid fantasies about invincible conspiracies of sexually depraved people who enjoy killing, be it Jews or witches, should at least get modern.
First, blackmail evidence doesn’t have to be tapes (Betamax? VHS?) or DVDs. It can be semen stained sheets, used condoms thrown into the waste basket, pubic hairs and possibly a child who passes the paternity test. The disappearance of this evidence needs to be accounted for. If it was never collected
Second, there needs to be a sensible account of where and when this blackmail evidence is stored and how the approach is made. The usual thing so far as I can tell is the use of lawyers. Intermediaries with legal privilege are invaluable. In particular, if Epstein is supposedly an extortionist for some intelligence agency, it is the agency which will have the materials, not Epstein.
Third, if the legalities are any obstacle at all, the fact that the CIA’s legal remit is for foreign intelligence matters. How and why the CIA works domestically needs to be explained. If the agency is supposed to be Mossad, how the Mossad can expect impunity needs to be explained, not assumed on the grounds International Jewry secretly rules the world.
Fourth, in either case, someone needs to explain what Epstein is doing for these agencies with all this stuff. The great problem here is not just proving that none of these politicians are doing things they don’t already want to do. The implicit idea that they would suffer somehow by an independent policy is enough of a stretch. You have to show the extortion is necessary to achieve whatever the alleged goal is, so vital to success the risk of provoking the enmity of wealthy and powerful people, or getting caught at it, must be taken.
Fifth and most important, all these propositions and other “facts” need to be demonstrated strongly enough to rule out, or at least compete with alternative explanations. For a single example, to make much of Epstein teaching at the Dalton School you should have an idea how often uncertified teachers worked at the Dalton School, how important the right social background (as in recommendations from influential figures,) is for their hiring and not least how long Epsteing even worked at Dalton. News reports demonstrate very little about complex propositions. Even simple facts that aren’t verified by scrutiny from different parties can be unreliable. Generally the best thing is to rely on evidence that is actually sound enough to introduce in court without being blasted apart by an attorney.
In a complex proposition, which can be view as a proposed model, the probability of the whole model being correct equals the probability of the least likely new element. The difficulty there is that the probability of any given element—such as the likelihood of Barr’s father getting Epstein a job and this establishing a meaningful connect between Barr’s son and Epstein—depends on the amount of sampling. Ransacking the biographies is a lot of sampling. The more sampling the more random correlations can be made, which is not, not, not the same as demonstrating causal connections. Causal connections is what justifies saying a model is correct.

Am enjoying the insights here and can share a few responses after years of reporting on Epstein, Clinton, Obama, Trump and Barr.
In response to lysias at #34 on Barr’s intelligence and corruption cover-up background, here’s a full history with links: “Trump Found His Roy Cohn In Deep State Fixer Bill Barr,” May 27, 2019. https://www.justice-integrity.org/1659-trump-found-his-roy-cohn-in-deep-state-fixer-bill-barr
Regarding questions on Acosta by Jared at #27, here’s a 2017 article showing that the facts were out about Acosta when the Senate confirmed him: “Did Trump Labor Pick Protect Trump, Rich Rapists, Tax Cheats, Crooked Bankers? Do We Find Out Wednesday?” March 14, 2017. http://ow.ly/hk8b309Uerm
Regarding MSM reluctance to mention rape of 12 and 13 year olds by Trump, as several commentators noted, here’s a January 2017 wrap up of those matters with leading to other links: “Welcome To Waterbury: The city that holds secrets that could bring down Trump,” Jan. 9, 2018. http://www.justice-integrity.org/1445-welcome-to-waterbury-the-city-that-holds-secrets-that-could-bring-down-trump. My colleague Wayne Madsen and I filed a FOIA action today at the U.S. Justice Department seeking further records.
Our view is that this is an intelligence / foreign policy operation and it’s likely that Epstein’s time has run out, an occupational hazard in that field. Further, Madsen and I have written separate books years ago documenting that all U.S. presidents after Carter — but not yet Trump as proven — have been covert assets of the CIA or FBI before — stress that — they entered politics. That’s the way it is, and helps explain a lot of the complaints in comments above. Trump is in his own category of a corrupt stooge — that’s not necessarily better.
Can recommend excellent 2008 book “Flat Earth News” by longtime UK journalist Nick Davies that describes the deeply flawed nature of MSM from his perspective as a Guardian and other UK journalist, who aptly describes why lies and quarter-truths get printed. That’s a longer story but the gist is what many here are suggesting.

And that’s from Jeff Bezos’ CIA funded Washington Post.
Also it’s the stated purpose of the CIA to remain covert, hence you’re not going to find a lot of ADMISSIONS that they are involved, but if you doubt they are, there’s plenty of other reading material out there. LOL I did get a kick out of your deference to their stated mission, however.

I don’t think we should expect a blackmail operation like this to be as upfront as some of you appear to assume. It is likely a very small percentage of those involved that have been called upon for favours, and fewer still that have been put under any pressure.
I think they mostly do this stuff because they enjoy it. If they really want to pressure you there are cheaper and simpler options, like threatening to kill your kids.

The function of the CIA/Mossad is to make sure the agenda and the narrative of the Deep State gets served. In that case one could truly blame Epstein’s actions on individuals, or groups of individuals who dictate orders to the Mossad/CIA.

Re: ‘It was obviously a Mossad operation … It was all about blackmail’
The Epstein arrest has Zionist fingers all over it … why now?
In the 2008 ‘deal’ after Epstein’s 2007 indictment, ultra-Zionist Alan Dershowitz was a leading lawyer brokering that deal
Now Dershowitz seems to have sabotaged Epstein, Dershowitz arguing in court that Epstein files should be unsealed and made public … Dershowitz won that battle in a US federal appeals court 2 July, 4 days before Epstein was arrested
Dershowitz claimed he was trying to defend himself but that seems silly … Epstein files cannot ‘prove a negative’ that Dershowitz never raped children, there can only be a lack of evidence … and files show Dershowitz deeply connected with Epstein
Daily Beast is the media leading the charge against Epstein now with ‘insider scoops’ from prosecutors
Daily Beast was founded in 2008 by Jewish media kingpin Barry Diller, & Tina Brown ‘who has Jewish grand-father’

Maurene Comey recently married into a Jewish Zionist family, her husband Lucas Issacharoff, son of Samuel Issacharoff, who has taught at Tel Aviv University as well as in the USA
Wikipedia, run by CIA-Mossad ex-pornographer Jimmy Wales, friend of Israeli presidents, has edited Epstein’s biography to delete the USA Democrats connected with Epstein
Trump has recently hit his ‘highest popularity ever’ per ‘polls’, as USA Democrats get weirder & more out of touch with ‘reparations for gay & lesbians’ – ‘open borders, no immigration restrictions’ etc … It looks like they are staging 2020 for Trump to win again
Are Epstein files & video tapes blackmail fodder to keep Trump in line, & many others as well?
February 2000 photo of Donald Trump, then-girlfriend Melania, Jeffrey Epstein who seems to be grabbing Melania’s bottom, & Ghislaine Maxwell
Weird masonic illuminati type ‘temple’ built on Epstein’s ‘paedo island’, possibly the site of horrid goings on
Is Epstein ‘really’ being indicted? Will he ‘really’ be in jail? Such things are easily faked now … as are many other things, ‘videos’, ‘child porn on computers’ etc
Is the Epstein arrest a Mossad terror scheme, against all the people worldwide who ever flew on the ‘Lolita Express’?

Thank you sir for bringing some sanity to the comment section. I have been avoiding MoA lately simply because of the wild projectionists that have been commenting here.
There used to be some sanity, but it appears Moon’s comment section has become a uberleft platform.
It’s time to reign in your commenters “b”.

If indeed they are after Trump as he failed them on ‘Iran’, then it makes absolute sense that Dershowitz and Cernovich had the records unsealed as both are strong, strong Zionists and supporters of Israel. Getting a judge do the thing they need is just a formality. I agree with some writer above who asked, why the publicity if pressure can be applied in secret without the media being involved? But this may be the stated goal to bring Trump either completely in line now or publicly topple his presidency.
I get why @94 Really? and others would be sceptical at this stage but I know strong powers in the Zionist/Neo-con deep state want a direct confrontation with Iran for myriad number of reasons (stop the BRI, deal a blow to Syria and Hizbollah, take out Israel’s No 1 enemy etc, shore up the Petrodollar), and Trump was still the most likely candidate to follow through with this, given his proximity to Zionism. So far he also has dully followed through with everything imaginable, except for actually attacking Iran.
Interesting development indeed. B. Clinton could be collateral damage, at this stage their power is overestimated in my opinion.

The American attitude towards sex may be unreasonable, but it is very real and can effectively be used as blackmail. As was almost certainly done here.
Is anybody going to question whether blackmail is immoral?
