Thank you for your investigations into what the reality is going on around us. The shock of the COVID deception took it's toll on those of us who had the courage to face up to the truth and we all had to realize we would never be able to go back to our former less stressed selves. Friendships had to go by the wayside as it was too painful to see them support a murderous agenda and the entities that were responsible. So you have been a blessed comfort with your truth, integrity, common sense and sense of humor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, we are enjoying the history and stories. Please know how very deeply you are appreciated.

And of course the work of Dr. McCullough and Nick Hulscher will surely help turn the tide of the horrendous killing machine our modern medical system has become. Bless all of you!!!

The best sentence ever written: " Disclosing the truth could also instantly demolish the persistent naïveté that enables most people to maintain their allegiance to their governments and to believe the endless train of BS that we are told every day about everything." INDEED!

For some unknown reason, so many people still believe the BS!

I know part of the reason: because many people who make an honest living depend upon an “institutionalist” perspective. Constantly focusing on virtually everything being corrupt is corrosive and paralyzing. Not everyone has that luxury when there are bills to pay.

"Bills to pay" has always been a reason people don't examine their own participation in corrupt institutions. People with "bills to pay" are the building blocks of murderous regimes.

For a great many average people, the perpetual economic insecurity of American society makes the prospect of losing their job terrifying. It is probably one of the most potent means of social control. I think it is also why the homeless are allowed to live on the streets, instead of being given proper housing--it is a reminder to the rest of us of what can happen if we go too strongly against the system. Keep your head down, pay your bills.....

Yours is an interesting thought. There's a great deal of argument concerning why Americans are enslaved. They bear a good part of the responsibility for their condition. When I saw that doctors couldn't quit their jobs because they had bills to pay, I recalled how many times in court cases where doctors had more debts than assets because like 80% of people they spend beyond their means. Most people never had and never will make enough money because they always spend more than they make. Their pay goes up, they buy another car on time, or take 3 exotic vacations. I saw people in bankruptcy with acrylic fingernails, lunch out 5 days a week, really nice cars (one woman even had 2 cars joked that one was her dog's). Americans, more now than ever, are not savers. The middle class has been guilted into mortgaging their homes or taking out loans to send their kids to college which has inflated tuition. The wiser choice is now a trade school. Servers in America now make on average $60-80K per year because Americans have been guilted into paying 20-30% in tips. An analysis by Grok, if you ask penetrating questions show huge restaurant inflation. We've done it to ourselves. And no, I'm not an elite. I paid my way through college working in the berry fields and waitressing. I've lived in my car for brief periods; I was a single mother after a divorce; I made it without government assistance. One thing I would never do was deplete my savings because then, I'd be no more than a slave.

I find it hard to believe that my HVAC guy is one of the building blocks of a murderous regime. I would say the same for my dentist. Not to mention the breadwinner for my family of five. I feel badly for some here who seem unfamiliar with these types of decent folks.

It is going to be challenging enough to navigate the changes that — esp younger generations — are going to face as institutions likely do collapse. Demonization with broad strokes is unhelpful “pile on” in my view.

Valid points. The dentist who doesn't educate himself on the vaccine, but blindly recommends it, is playing an anonymous role, but is nonetheless encouraging "consensus" (so he's not censored or doesn't lose customers) which, in the case of Covid, was flawed. He may be otherwise a good person but he is an unknowing building block of pharma and his advice could result in death or disability in his patient. That doesn't "per se" make him a bad person, but he is wittingly or unwittingly playing a role. If the HVAC guy is demonizing the unvaccinated or supporting government censorship, then he, too, is a building block. It's best stated by Hanna Arendt's description of the banality of evil. Ordinary people, doing ordinary jobs who lack the capacity for independent moral thought. This is what I mean by building blocks because if people elevated morals over a paycheck (get another job tens of millions each year do) and consensus, then the extreme harms that occurred from 2020-2025 would not have occurred. (At least I'd like to think so.) I am calling for each person to make moral choices rather than convenient choices. Case in point: the DOJ recently dropped a lawsuit against a doctor in Utah. He faced 30 years in prison for providing vaccine certifications to those who weren't vaccinated. The people who went to him entirely offloaded their risk onto him. They could have said "no, I won't vaccinate." (Had enough people done that, the mandates would have had to have been dropped.) According to the Bureau of Labor and statistics, the average person has 12 jobs during their lifetime. This could have been one of those 12. Instead, the doctor assumed the risk of 30 years in prison. Yes, ethics and morality are difficult and there can be a price to pay; but, without them, we have something like Germany 1937-1945.

I would go a step further and say the people who know the truth about the dangers posed by the vaccine and say nothing are more complicit and culpable. Dante's vision of the border between purgatory and hell disclosed the Uncommitted, a group of spirits neither in or out of hell, which included the outcast angels who refused to take a side in the Rebellion of the Angels. It is every citizen's duty to search vigorously for truth and proclaim it, otherwise you get the Third Reich, which is precisely what a society deserves which no longer values truth. The Old Testament is filled with stories of God's wrath against societies that don't value truth.

Excerpt from Nobody's Girl “In my years with them, they lent me out to scores of wealthy, powerful people. I was habitually used and humiliated – and in some instances, choked, beaten, and bloodied,” Ms. Giuffre wrote. One had been a prime minister. I think this is more than an evolutionary drive to 'mate' with attractive girls. Many of the girls were twelve, (one child was sneered at for the little girl underwear she was wearing with flowers) unless they were menstruating, they would not be able to satisfy the evolutionary drive to procreate. I don't believe this has anything to do with natural lust, and more to do with the thrill of the perverted lust for power. Rich men can pay for attractive twenty something escorts anywhere, this is far more sinister, a fact Epstein exploited. Bill O Reilly advised Trump not to release the names of the perpetrators due to the obvious fallout that would occur. If those men were electricians, plumbers or any blue-collar worker, I have a strong hunch we would know their names by now. Even if many men at these parties independent of the 'scores' of men that used and abused these children did not participate, they are guilty of willful blindness, and I can imagine they would never want to be confronted by this reality. I don't think this travesty can be swept under the carpet indefinitely. This is an example of 'Toxic Masculinity.' Real men of character, many with young daughters of their own, or young female relatives would embody the spirit of chivalry, and endeavour to breach all those barriers used to conceal these man villains, we already know who the Cruella de Vil character is in the story.

My view would be that you have focused on the salacious aspect of the story and failed to acknowledge the core of the story - Epstein was a known CIA asset. Those who manipulate the lust of others to exert power are much more dangerous ... and will continue their nefarious work with or without Epstein. The question is, "Who is running this operation today?" As long as the CIA remains mum, you know you are being distracted and kept from the real story. The fact that people are so interested in "the list" speaks to the brilliance of CIA manipulation. Want to really push this story? Bring CIA Director John Radcliffe before a Congressional Committee and subpoena ALL CIA records re Epstein.

You are entitled to your opinion that my comment 'failed' in some way. It was a success from my perspective, since my emphasis highlights the unrequited justice for the victims, and the extreme abuse children experienced by pedophiles. I hope this travesty will penetrate the hearts and minds of enough people that prosecutions occur. Regardless of the CIA, there are many people who know the identities of the pedophiles, and they may yet come forward with the necessary revelations and justice will prevail.

My apologies. I did not mean to imply you were a failure. I was simply pointing out that if a heinous situation exists, one must get to the root cause. One can put attention on the victims, but unless one gets to the core individuals that are creating victims, one does not stop the harm. It is very clear from the evidence that Epstein was doing the bidding of the CIA. Epstein is now dead. He will not be harming anyone. However, those who managed his operation are still active. If we do not focus on the CIA operation, they will simply use other assets and the harm will not stop. I guess I'm saying we have to be careful — when we drive with our eyes fixed on the rearview mirrors while not seeing the road ahead, we can crash.

I didn't take your comment to mean 'I was a failure.' I took it, that I didn't conform to someone else's metric on what 'should' be emphasized in a commentary section. Honestly, I don't think Mr. Leake's title is a good metaphor for pedophilia. As far as root cause, that is not a simple black and white proposition in my humble opinion. In a broader sense the root cause could be attributed to a spiritual issue. What then is the root cause of the spiritual imbalance in powerful men, is it due to the effects of living by left brain values that run amok, leading to perversion and lack of empathy due to the denial of right brain values? Perhaps this is a multipronged problem, where defining one cause is insufficient, it is all worth exploring. Meanwhile, those who know, should reveal the names of the offenders so that the DOJ can get on it, even if there are obstacles to overcome along the way.

The root cause is not the CIA. The root cause is the immoral, vile and evil behavior of rich men who know they can buy their way out of anything. We should want those people exposed and punished. I have to question whether your desire to avoid prosecuting the perpetrators and get to the supposed “core” is based in something else.

The CIA does the bidding of the global elite. Yes, money is a factor. A big factor. But your ordinary run of the mill vile and evil rich man does not set up a blackmail operation that controls governments. There is a different scale of evil in play here. If you do not get to root causes, you are not going to stop anything.

The root cause of the SCHEME is the CIA. The root cause of the BEHAVIOR is lack of morals, a belief that other people are less than human, and a belief that one will not be punished in this lifetime or another.

What is a distinctive feature about sexually assaulting a child. ( hint : as readers have noted it isn’t the evolutionary drive to dominate by seed spreading as the victims can not procreate) Very simply: it is about the intentional and purposeful destruction of innocence and the great pleasures that perverts derive from demonic destruction of God’s goodness.

This story is written very well, John.

It reads like a modernized version of a Greek tragedy -- a story where the protagonist "can't win for losing." Poor Oedipus? No, poor Dan Bongino. If you want a real tragedy, look at that modern-day hero, with nothing but honest and noble intentions, who has become muzzled by the "system."

Do you think that Sisyphus has it bad, ordered by the gods to roll a heavy boulder up a hill, only to have it roll back down so that he has to start all over again? That's pretty tragic, but now imagine caring about truth but being shackled by others who prevent you from communicating the truth.

Sisyphus is laden with physical burden, but Dan Bongino is laden with mental/spiritual burden. Here is a short preview of a conversation in heaven 100 years from now:

-----------------------------------------

Dan Bongino: Hey Oedipus! Man, when I think about your story, Bro! You really got the short end of the stick, ya' know what I'm saying? I mean, finding out that you killed your own father and then married your own mother? That is tragic, Dude. I feel for you, Bro.

Oedipus: What are you talking about, Dan? What I had to go through was nothing compared to what you had to go through, trying more than anything to be a source of light to the world, only to have your luminescence mired under cobwebs of planned darkness and intentional confusion to protect powerful interests! That is some serious $#!^ you had to go through, my Brother!

People would not want to "pardon" a woman who ran a "child sex slave ring" for rich bored old men....That's what was going on...This was not just a prostitution ring.

Well John this reminds me of my own experience (below) and a reliable news report I saw a few years ago that somebody "knew" there were at least 100 unmarked graves at Epstein's island pleasure palace in the Caribbean that he saw from an air photo. He said he was experienced with such matters so knew they were graves by seeing the sunken soil the size of young people all over Epstein's place. Nobody could go onto the property to look closer back then. Perhaps the lying govs cleaned it all up by now, but who knows, getting an air photo and looking may produce a big result. I once noticed sunken soil in a graveyard near my home in Arkansas, but many new graves were unmarked. I called the police who told me some people in the area were so poor they could many times not pay for proper burials, so just buried people near their family graves. I asked him how did he know they were not murdered and hidden there. He said it would take 20 full-time staff many years to check that out so it could not be done.

A highly dubious story...Why would they put all those bodies into graves that could be dug up again? More likely they were hurriedly loaded onto boats and dumped somewhere in very deep water to let the fish take care of the evidence. That's what gangsters do I am told. They call it "Sleeping with the fish"....

This reminds of the royal family and their many uses of orphans in Canada. Those graves were never found either.

Here is one recent story for "proof"

Sad, but this is the true face of human nature.... predatory ... homo homini lupus...

The tentacles of the Epstein story/crime are many and long and surely spread to the tops

I often think most humans should and will be replaced by AI or robots, at least those can be programmed to a certain behavior.... or can they? I grew up in a society where a pedo would be PUNISHED ON THE SPOT, and the police would not investigate. Instant karma. I did not even know what pedos were until I left the country! I used to walk alone everywhere and feel completely safe, even in parks and forests around town. So IT CAN BE DONE! These kind of crimes can be stopped with the proper legislation, but they are not because the legislators and govmts in the West are FILLED with pedos and criminals and accomplices. Period.

"Sad, but this is the true face of human nature"

There is no "true face of human nature"....BECAUSE

1. We come from distinct genetic lineages, some of which haven't mixed for many thousands of years.

2. Generally, because of our prolonged period of juvenile helplessness our characters, personalities and moral compasses are determined by those providing food and shelter and guidance.

3. Diet types can have a powerful influence as well. Well fed, well nurtured children have distinctly different outlooks from hungry, poorly clothed and parasite ridden children. Fresh and wholesome fruits and vegetables contain substances not found anywhere else.

Vegetarianism as opposed to heavy meat and animal products will change the body and personality if implemented in childhood. These preferences often remain for life. There is no doubt a child raised by a loving and joyful family has an entirely different "true face" than the child raised by the brutal and uncaring

Perhaps those wishing to shine light on Epstein need to take a different tack, maybe along the lines of the Al Capone prosecution. Forget the salacious and "glamorous" aspects of the story, and turn to the business.

Explore the CIA airline, Air America, that came under Epstein's control, and whose headquarters were moved from Florida to Ohio where Epstein operated L Brands (Victoria's Secret, Bath and Body Works, and The Limited) for billionaire Leslie Wexner.

The business of the CIA airline, Air America, was co-mingled with the import business of L Brands, an excellent cover for the covert transport of arms, etc. Mixing import business with CIA transport was clever. Mike Benz has covered this in numerous excellent articles and podcasts.

Investigation into this money trail was suspended when Epstein was prosecuted in 2007, perhaps as part of the plea deal. (Ask Dershowitz.) There is no reason not to revive this investigation and turn the focus to the CIA management of Epstein - removing any doubt that he was a CIA asset. That puts the story in a new lane and stops the endless and worthless yapping about "the list."

I asked myself, what if Bongino and Patel did expose the list, what would happen next? We kind of know what goes on in those circles, is it worth the price the world would pay for cleaning up the mess after revealing those secrets? Would governments fall--and if they did, would the successor government necessarily be any better? No guarantees. Would it be akin to a mafia-style massacre with countless lives lost...and would it make any difference how powerful men behave in the long run? How many years before it all went back to the same lurid behavior? Our curiosity satisfied, then what?
