"We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office..." -- Aesop
I'm certain to get a great deal of blowback on this subject. In fact, I've been debating for two weeks as to whether write this, at all. But then I figured that one does not have the right to go through life un-criticized, the subject does require an airing of all points of view, and I could give a flying fuck at a rolling donut about the opinions of strangers, most of whom have below-room-temperature IQ's, as evidenced by so many examples that I would be here all year if I decided to list them.
On the subject of Jeffrey Epstein, let me state, in the plainest terms, the following:
1. I am neither shocked nor dismayed that rich and powerful men are venal creatures. Full of the pride, hubris and stupidity that comes with great wealth and access to power, all men, will do their worst. And the ones who will do the absolute worst are typically the ones who will exercise their venality in the pursuit of what they might call "justice" or "morality". Either is a great shield behind which truly bad intentions may be hidden and excused. If you doubt this, I will point to the Taliban, any number of dictators, any number of terrorist organizations, Communism, welfare fraud, rigged elections, stampeding people into panic with manufactured viruses and much more, and then I would defy you to change my mind.
2. If corruption exists and persists it is because (in no particular order):
a. The Rule of Law is an ineffective means of curtailing it.
b. This is proof that God does not exist. A just God would not allow it, nor would it go unpunished. If you give me the catechism of Man introducing evil into the world by disobeying God's order, then I will counter that God gave him that power and apparently didn't foresee the consequences (despite having "a plan" and knowing all things, past, present and future), otherwise, you'd have to admit that God isn't so fucking special and the existence of another power that, at the very least, has the potential to mislead or corrupt anything God has created.
If you adhere to the idea that only God ever had the power of creation, then you would have to admit that God must have created evil, as well.
Having boxed yourself in logically and philosophically, all vague double-talk retorts about "justice" or "sins being punished" in an imaginary afterlife are so much bullshit.
c. It obviously pays to be corrupt. At least until you get caught and even then we've seen how many squirm out of the hangman's noose. If you're not willing to outright KILL the corrupt, then no punishment apparently serves as a deterrent so long as the benefits accrue.
I do not believe that any imposition of "justice" will ever be effective, because the evidence to the contrary is manifest. If corruption was such a bad gig and the punishments outweighed the rewards of participation, then you would be hard-pressed to prove that Justice can ever be had, because so many people continue to engage in corruption.
Therefore, the attempt to somehow set aright what appears to be a very horrendous series of events by resort to law and some nebulous sense of "accountability" rings hollow. After all, the "accountability" always comes after the damage is done and doesn't seem to deter anyone who comes after, making it a poor tool for managing much of anything.
3. The crux of the issue is not a legal or political one, it is a cultural one. Simply putting people in jail does not seem to produce any real cultural benefit. If it did, our prisons would be (nearly) empty and the people of Harlem, Watts, and worse places, would live in complete peace and safety, we wouldn't have near-70% recidivist rates and crime would be virtually unknown.
Culture is downstream from politics, they say, and it is even further removed from Law, since The Law is always a retroactive band-aid. Nothing is illegal until it happens and then someone MAKES it illegal. To use the old analogy of a horse, excrement and a barn door, it would seem that the most-effective deterrent would be pro-active and not reactive. And who gets to decide what pro-active looks like?
4. Corruption is often tolerated in many societies, even American society, so long as such toleration produces a result acceptable to the greater public, or which can be presented to the greater public as some great benefit.
As an example, here in New York City, there are thousands of speed cameras deployed which are supposed to be "saving lives" of pedestrians who manage to do some stupid shit -- like jump out from between parked cars or cross against traffic lights -- and get hit by speeding vehicles. That the cameras are merely a means by which the city generates revenue -- a tax disguised as a safety feature -- doesn't matter to the greater mass of retards because those retards expect to receive the proceeds in some manner -- welfare, higher wages for city workers come contract time, being the manufacturer of the cameras, getting paid to install them, and so forth.
5. If "MeToo" proved anything, and it was something we already knew from thousands of years of experience, it is that women will lie. About everything. Especially sex. Yesterday's willing participant is tomorrow's victim and given the evidence of Virginia Guiffre, the main witness against Epstein who never testified against him because prosecutors decided they didn't believe her, either, it simply reinforces that notion.
How many other "victims" weren't victims, at all? How many, in this day and age of Tinder, Sugar Babies, OnlyFans, the feminist devaluation of sex until it became simply a commodity, suddenly change their minds after the fact when their voluntary sluttiness becomes a major embarrassment, a social obstacle, or simply a means of cashing in?
If there was an abominable crime then by all means, prosecute the guilty and use whatever feeble tools you have in a futile attempt to impose "Justice", retroactively, when it does no one any real good. The Overlord has no issues with punishing people who have done wrong; rather, my problem with this method is, as I have stated, very often too little, too late, and therefore, ineffective.
Alas, it's about the best we can do.
Having dispensed with the moral, legal and ethical reasons why I could give a shit about this subject, allow me to explain precisely why.
The first thing I would say about this whole shebang is that it was presented to the American Public as something that pressed everyone's buttons. The Law and Order types are triggered, so too the feminists -- both the ones who present women as perpetual victims and the ones who see sex for sale or used as a weapon against men as "liberation" -- . The Bible-thumping, self-appointed Hall Monitors of society, likewise, enjoy a good pearl-clutching moment. The Left gets to savage the Right, and vice-versa. Media gets to fill what would otherwise be empty airtime and newspaper with salaciousness, which always sells. The lawyers get to make a fortune in litigation. Law enforcement gets to take victory laps. The stupid find something they can finally understand and engage in with the smart.
If you're a MAGA head today, you see in this mess a means by which you can crush your enemies, in particular, the DC and coastal-city elite, who can be portrayed as venal, horrible creatures, who need to be punished. The fact that many of the same would demand the MAGAheads be punished for merely existing is conveniently forgotten.
This is what really chaps your collective ass, MAGA heads: One last bite at the apples of Billy Jeff, Hilary, and the people who you have decided are traitors, often by some list of criteria that only makes sense to an inbred, fourth-grade dropout, may be slipping away. It galls you. It antagonizes you. It keeps you awake at night.
I paint with a really wide brush here.
There is also the sense of disappointment; Trump and Co. promised you they would blow this thing wide open. They also promised to blow the JFK, UFO, Russian Collusion Hoax, COVID-19 shenanigans, and a few other things wide open, and has any of that happened? Was I asleep when it all happened? Did I miss it all while taking a shit?
I believe, though I have no evidence to support this, however, is that what really drives this sense of betrayal is not so much the chance to do dirt on The Other Side, nor the restoration of the Law, nor even the upholding of some rigid moral code handed down via myth from Mount Sinai (because The Book is really the important part; that it is about as useful as a case of herpes on Epstein Island matters not), but really because you just want the juicy details.
Even the greatest moral prude, deep inside, just loves a great, big, disgusting story of depravity, mostly so that they can feel themselves superior to the non-believers and assorted sinners and infidels. You would outwardly blanch at a recitation of other people's perversions, but inwardly you would find great joy in it. You would get the benefits of porn without having to sully yourself in actually obtaining any.
At least where the neighbors and Reverend JimBob might see you.
If you're a sinning non-believer like me, you want an explanation and demonstration of the depravity because it's at least a distraction from the very real problems you face: being discriminated against in your own country, being bled white by taxes at all levels of government, having to share space with incredibly stupid people morally posturing on subjects far and wide that they don't understand, being blamed for everyone else's shortcomings and problems, being constantly lied to by people who aren't even very good at it until you lose any faith in humanity.
It's all psychological, in a sense. It'll drive you to drink.
But as even the effects of drugs and alcohol wear off, so too does the sensations and attractions of the filthy.
Epstein is dead. Whether he was murdered or offed himself is an academic question, at this point. It does not erase what he was accused (and convicted) of doing; it does not repair anyone's shattered life or psyche; it does not signal some great cultural revival in the name of National Renewal. It doesn't even, in any sense, restore the rule of law, or any sense of normality and civility to everyday life.
Ghislane Maxwell is in jail. Again, this changes nothing. The past is done and immutable. The people who are alleged to have indulged in this sort of immorality cannot make amends or travel back in time to stop themselves from doing it. No pimp -- if that is all of what Epstein was -- will give up the business or suddenly turn to a Godly life.
Americans, having tolerated corruption, and even often celebrated it (you think Mob films, rap music and other forms of mass media don't celebrate this shit?) pretty much deserve what they get in this regard. In my lifetime, I can recall all sorts of corruption that goes on pretty much all day, everywhere, that barely registers. This registers because it's about sex, wealth and power. Three things all Americans secretly wished they had, but are too stupid or lazy to acquire. If this were not true, then please explain the existence of the aforementioned Mob films, gangsta rap, 'People' and similar magazines, Access Hollywood, (P)MSNBC, the fact that very few people ever get convicted of insider trading, the continued belief in Russian Collusion, The View, the obvious vote fraud and tampering, abuse of the court systems (especially in the civil arena, right single mothers?), and why Gavin Newsome and Karen Bass aren't hanging from lampposts right now for allowing a city to burn twice in the same year and vowing to replace people's property with Section 8 housing?
Should we continue with ANTIFA is still roaming the streets, the BLM fiasco, that OJ got away with it, Arkancides, somehow we managed to get an AOC, Jasmine Crockett, and Muslim radicals in Congress? Did not the COVID jab detail for you, exquisitely, the lengths some will go to cash in for themselves? Did not the twisting of the legal system to "get" Trump with anything that would stick, even temporarily, persuade you that this is true?
I'd rather this sort of energy was directed towards discovering why two guys tried to kill Trump, why James Comey hasn't been executed yet, how Joe Biden was used as a catspaw and his support of Ukraine is directly linked to burying the evidence of his family's crimes.
Which set of priorities do you think are in order to restore what was once called "normal life"? Rooting out and preventing the corruption that has a direct impact upon you, or simply exposing a bunch of people involved in a prostitution ring that's no longer operative?
We've got 30 million crooks and freeloaders to deport.
We've gotten ourselves involved in a war on the other side of the planet in which it is a shame that both sides can't lose and which has cost hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars for no actual benefit to Joe Schmo, let alone the people who are dying in it.
We've got an economy to resurrect that was shackled by poor (absolutely asinine, in most cases) public policy and further handicapped by COVID. People need jobs; they need money to survive the price increases from lowered production and supply chain interruptions. They need capital to invest to help mitigate the losses they've endured over recent years. They have debt to pay down.
We have a weaponized bureaucracy , at all levels of government, that no longer serves: it simply enforces and punishes, diminishing liberty. Yeah, it's great you no longer have to remove your shoes at the fucking airport, but that was truly unnecessary to begin with. The entire Homeland Security thing of the last 25 years was just a whole lot of theater and a reshuffling of the Org chart to avoid consequences. Usama bin Laden may be dead, but he apparently won his fight: the War on Terror wasn't a war on Terrorism: it became an assault on the American Citizen.
Successive administrations have reduced the list of freedoms you once enjoyed in the names of "equality" and "fairness" and the one in between them barely got started in reversing that trend. The Average American, it is said, commits three federal felonies a day and is completely unaware of it...until there's a midnight, no-knock raid because you used rainwater to sustain your houseplants, or you posted something anti-trans on your Facebook page.
We are on the verge of turning important aspects of our lives over to a largely-ineffective, unproven and unpredictable technology -- Artificial Intelligence -- which will affect far more people, directly, than even COVID did, and for much the same reason: the idiots in charge of this stuff are confident they can achieve something, but never stop to ask whether the achievement is, in fact, worth the effort, let alone what the consequences might be.
I could go on with more examples, but you get the point.
In the long run, Epstein's whores -- both the women, willing or not, who found themselves on that island, not to mention the people who indulged in the iniquity -- mean very little. At least in any real, concrete sense.
I'll finish up with a few notes in passing on this bullshit before I turn my attention to improving myself. That's because people engaged in self-improvement is a much more-effective tool against the threat of corruption than any law, any trial, any 24-hour drama on CNN will ever be.
Take note: I have no evidence to back any of this up: it simply all seems like a logical conclusion.
1. On the Bondi/Bongino kerfuffle: it is probably rank incompetence at work here. Pam Bondi said something, promised something, that it was not possible to deliver. It is quite possible that despite the "evidence" (little of which we have actually seen, assuming it exists) there is no there there. Her public statements put Patel and Bongino in a bad situation -- being unable to produce what was promised, and furthermore, being unable to produce what was promised in a manner that actually had any practical use.
When someone says "The file is on my desk", the greater mass of fucktards expects this means you have a folder with a bunch of paper in it in a form that's convenient for public consumption. She stepped on another rake with the stupid "binder" stunt, giving binders of "evidence" to internet "influencers" essentially for a photo op, possibly even knowing those binders contained nothing new or definitive.
2. On Trump brushing away a reporter's question on the situation: it looks bad, considering the promises made, and it looks even worse if your conspiracy-theory addled brain goes right to "he must have something to hide". It is my considered opinion that if Trump was on these alleged videos that exist or client list, that if he was in any way, shape or form involved, that info would have been released to the public faster than Kamala can down a carafe of Chardonnay.
Considering what the Left tried to do to him with E. Jean Carroll, inventing felonies and fraud cases from thin air, illegally trying to get him removed from ballots, if this atom bomb of a revelation existed, they would not have refrained from using it.
For fuck's sake, they couldn't even get Stormy Daniels -- a known whore and porn star -- to stick to him,. and they botched that one so badly he wound up getting a refund from a bona fide hooker in the end.
3. On Epstein: He was most-likely an intelligence asset. Whether CIA, Mossad or someone else's is irrelevant, at this point. Any "Client List" that may or may not have existed may have both national security and international diplomatic effects that preclude the release of such a thing. Say if, for example, the names of several prominent Muslim politicians or leaders should appear on it, and those leaders are necessary to continue fighting terrorists or tamping down on Iran, imagine the damage done to any MidEast peace process or united front against the Ayatollahs. Imagine if there were Chinese or Russian names on that list that might jeopardize peace talks in Ukraine or tariff talks with Beijing?
The use of the "Honeytrap" is a very old tactic of spycraft and intelligence agencies, after all.
4. The existence or non-existence of a Client List was useful to someone in some ways, and so the mystery of whether it existed and who was on it was a means of attaining leverage on others. If it exists, the mystery keeps everyone on edge; if it never existed the rumor of it's existence does the same. It's using the threat of a blackmailer to blackmail others.
I would find it quite credible to hear that if there ever was a list, and other evidence, it has now been destroyed by the very Deep State operatives in the DoJ and FBI who have been undermining Trump for a decade now. Having promised to release it, it was suddenly memory-holed to either hide the crimes of the people who were charged with using this information responsibly, or it was destroyed to make Trump look bad and fail to deliver on a key promise.
The dissention this delayed or denied release has already caused in MAGAland could be a deliberate result of destroying evidence. Trump can't keep a promise and no one will ever know whether he could have or not. Weakening Trump by any means necessary and available is the only reason the Left and the Bureaucracy (but I repeat myself) continue to exist, it seems.
So that the lack of releasable or credible evidence makes Trump and Co look either incompetent or complicit.
5. Having gone through all the trouble of prosecuting Epstein and Maxwell, the evidence against them suddenly disappears? That's either deliberate, or as we have seen countless times in America, there was no real crime committed, but a scalp was needed for reasons we can only guess at.
Sorry, but flight logs may prove that someone flew someplace, but it doesn't offer proof as to any criminal activity they performed or partook in. If the videos existed, why have they not shown up somewhere on the internet or one of the tabloids, where one in possession of them or with access to them could turn a pretty penny?
If we use the example of Alan Dershowitz, who was directly accused by Virginia Duffre, he was able to disprove every accusation she made with real evidence. And he was Epstein's lawyer, no less. He says (and has named) he knows of others who were subjected to the same false allegations.
So, in conclusion, I have a living to make. I'd like to make a better one. I have things I wish to accomplish. I have to do my own best to restore the nation that I used to live in before it was turned over to the fags, the Mexicans, the Muslims the Leftist Communist turds, and the children cosplaying Marxist revolutionary from the safety and comfort of the Ivy League. I have no energy or time for much else, let alone a scandal that seems to have less innate scandal attached to it, except for the continued hype of lewdness, with each passing day.
To reiterate: by all means punish the guilty, if that's all we have, but at the same token, this isn't the poison dart that should put an end to the beginning of a potential American renewal.
