Jeffrey Epstein emailing Peter Thiel: Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain. ... Return to tribalism. Counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

'Do you think you're the devil himself?' Epstein questioned in new interview The footage, which is part of millions of files released by the US Department of Justice, shows the late sex offender being questioned by an unnamed interviewer.

Steve Bannon is the voice speaking off camera, right? www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

If asked to describe the major features of the Epstein archipelago looming out of its offshore dark money and billionaire kompromat - I’d say Putin, Trump, Musk, Bannon and Thiel

And with that you have a map of our current political era

He watched it squirming with rage
Donald is hiding millions of Epstein file documents.
Just imagine the hard Kompromat on Trump.
What manner of evil is he redacting.
If he is President Bundy bodies under the golf course ,how many knew ?
Could he act more guilty
No wonder he’s so servile to Putin

death by preventable disease is an inevitable and even desired outcome of concentration camps. in every era of concentration camps people have died of typhus, which is a disease of privation and enforced crowding. this illness is intentionally inflicted

It is going to take years---years!---to rebuild the United States Department of Justice after Trump is gone from office. A jewel of the justice system has been emptied out of institutional knowledge and wisdom.

Oh, and just in case you missed it, Epstein claims the Lebedevs were looking to him for advice in 2011

And Yuri Milner was a major Russian-Israeli tech investor in Facebook, Twitter, and Spotify

Well, though it’s just unnamed FBI source, this would explain a lot.

Putin is always suspected to have hidden his assets offshore in Caribbean

And who would make the ideal wealth manager?

(Emails suggest Putin tried to contact Epstein)

And perhaps, behind it all, this sea of dark money and kompromat

it’s difficult to overstate how much the next generation of Republicans is worse

we’re seeing a little of it bleed into the current admin with their social media interns but basically every young person actively engaged in Republican politics is a psychotic freak who should be exiled from society

In November of 2024, two weeks after voters returned President Donald Trump to office, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. summoned employees of the U.S. Supreme Court for an unusual announcement. Facing them in a grand conference room beneath ornate chandeliers, he requested they each sign a nondisclosure agreement promising to keep the court’s inner workings secret.

Jodi Kantor in the NY Times reports that the Chief Justice requested Court employees sign nondisclosure agreements in November 2024 - moving to formal contracts requiring silence/confidentiality after Trump was reelected: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...

I guess Howard Lutnick getting caught in blatant lies about his connections to Epstein finally kept him off the Sunday shows. Will be interesting to see if the interviewer asks him specifics on it when he finally surfaces.

It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵

Only 22% of Ukrainians now have a positive opinion of Trump. Only 30% of Poles still think America is a reliable ally. Trump has completely destroyed America's reputation in the world.

In the Pavlohrad district, near Dnipro, Russian Shahed operators attacked a civilian bus. After the first strike, injured civilians were visible exiting the bus. A second drone was then deliberately guided onto those people.

This was a conscious act of terrorism.

So Putin is all over the Epstein files. It would come as no surprise to me if the Epstein organization was a front for Russian covert activities to be able to blackmail American establishment figures.

WATCH — @mrjamesob.bsky.social : “Trump’s DOJ says they won’t release the rest of the files. Why not? Why can’t we see everything? How can someone who appears in them hundreds and hundreds of times oversee the release of the files?”

Was built by a foreign power - the British - shortly before it was forced to quit India in some ignominy. Would seem an odd inspiration for something celebrating 250 years of freedom *from* British colonialism.
