'The age of consent' in the USA varies between 16 and 18. In Alabama it is 18 and in California it is 16. The term 'paedophile' in Alabama would include people in California that under Californian law wouldn't be considered 'paedophiles'. The key issue to explore about Epstein is where did he get his huge fortune from and what were his connections with rich men, the US political donations system that literally buys elections - and Mossad. It's great to see the USA tearing itself to pieces over this.
In Ukraine there will be NO 'offensive'until attrition collapses Ukrainian lines. Putin knows exactly what he's doing with Trump- Trumps plan (aka Kellog) is to freeze the conflict so that Ukraine can re-arm and start the war later. Russia is having nothing to do with it. Trumps problem is that a defeat in Ukraine for NATO of which the USA is the key component will be a defeat for the USA round the world. That it cannot afford. Trump is the one with the weak hand.
Thanks for that John. I think that there will be 'an offensive' but not a big arrow offensive that McGregor has been suggesting for about two years. I think it will be more like a 'push' that will stretch the Ukrainians and eventually force a collapse.
Where did Epstein get his huge fortune from? Billionaire Leslie Wexner (with Mossad links) employed Epstein as a money manager, as did others. However, the affidavit lodged in a California court by one of Epstein's victims, 'Katie Johnson', stated that many of his clients were very wealthy businessmen whom he blackmailed for financial gain. The matter did not go to court, as she was alleged to have been paid off, but the offences listed in the affidavit show how obscene the alliance between Trump and Epstein was. The affidavit was filed in 2015, but the alleged offences took place a lot earlier. Before the Florida police started investigating Epstein. However, what she detailed about Epstein's treatment of her tallied with what other victims reported to the Florida police.
On Maxwell: she is not doing it tough. Shortly after she was incarcerated she was moved to much more comfortable bungalow accomodation. No cell, no bars, and freedom of movement. Given that she was left to carry the can, she may make revelations, but I doubt it. As a second generation Mossad person, she would be too afraid to cross them. Look what happened to her father! The Zionist Project would have to be ended before that would happen.
I thought his rise was down to sampling every breath you take until I discovered the royalties had to go to Sting and Sting arranged a duet with P Diddy as part of the royalties deal. Its cringe worthy. Is P Diddy SBU? Kidding. I haven't been following the story.
Contrary to Israel's lies about a deal with Iran, Iran is seeking transparency from Israel, about its nuclear program, and seeking IAEA inspections of same.
The Australian Prime Minister has been snubbed by Trump, who is yet to schedule a meeting with him. Trump is imposed large tariffs on our metals: steel aluminium and copper, (50%?) In the wake of this Albanese travelled to China for cordial meetings with XI.
There is also much local opposition to AUKUS and the US alliance in general. While the US is pressuring us to commit to a war with China, Australians have no appetite for involvement in another US war of attrition. Even our financial support of the war in Ukraine has been done very quietly, and people here were alarmed to hear that we had fighter jets operating in Syria when the US was trying to oust Assad.
In my teens, the voting age was reduced from 21 to 18. So, I came of age twice complete with cards and presents. I would question the ability of people that age to understand politics but teenagers are so ignorant and malleable. But this could also be said of grown ups. So, I'm not sure if it's a good or bad idea - but if pressed I would say not. But Starmer is not doing this out of some concern to get youth involved in politics - 'as is their right!'. No, he obviously feels that this would give him an advantage electorally. He's wrong of course. A political collapse would be good but there are too many Nazis there to prevent that. But there are early signs of revolt that could mature.
Great film. James Coburn. I made the mistake of humming the opening songs in Germany at the inlaws one year. The first one is a beautiful children's song and the next is the horst wessel leid- which i didn't know. The analogy is correct. Its set i 1943 and I agree the Ukrainian army is now in this situation.
I didn't know that thanks. Is it just the rebuild project or all projects?. I presumed they would have been buying up the land/minerals etc. I think they know its finished. They'll be contacting the Russians now to bid for the rebuild,
How did a college dropout math teacher get to owning tropical islands, having a net worth $500 million, and hobnob with billionaires and top scientists? Naomi Wolf had a good article on his influence.
Thanks for that Ray - I'll have a look at the links when I get time. Why am I not surprised that they are blaming the Russians for this: soon Western men will be blaming the Russians for grey hair - FFS.
Thanks for the excellent update Rob, the wheel continues to turn. It's a pity that the big rallies for Gaza are not in Western countries as it might lead to some action to assist the Palestinians rather than aid for the genociders.
It blows my mind that Western politicians are able to ignore this abomination almost without consequence.
They have, however, destroyed the West's reputation with the rest of the Globe.
The clownshow regarding the Epstein files is just another nail in the coffin and Trump's actions have taken a bit more gloss off what was already a tarnished credibility.
Over at MOA there was a video of the Butler assassination attempt on Trump that showed quite clearly that it was a put up job. My head never seems to stop spinning with all of this legerdemain. Fuck, talk about interesting times.
It was William Casey the then head of the CIA who said "We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false"
Thanks for that Chris - I noticed that the rallies in the West - i.e. London, California and Hamburg were quite small. I couldn't find the Butler vid on the MoA - do you have a link please. Cheers.
It will affect individuals depending on the nature of their involvement but not the whole species. Israeli soldiers have been tramatised and dehumanised by the experience and likewise the Israeli people to a lesser extent. Most Westerners will not know the extent of the carnage because the press and politicians hide it from them. Some who know about it but believe the propaganda will rationalise it as being justified for some reason or other. Such people are deluding themselves, of course. Many Westerners, such as myself, see it for what it is: a genocide conducted in the open by a terrorist regime. Many will do something such as going on demos or writing a blog. Outside of the West many who know what's happening will be hoping that our 'civilisation' dies out after causing so much pain and suffering over many centuries. The Western way is neither the only way nor the best way: liberalism is deeply flawed. The Western leadership is attempting to normalise genocide but I don't think the vast majority of people, inside and outside the West have accepted it at all. But that's the optimist in me speaking,
There are no winners in wars, really. It's a sickness that infects and spreads wantonly and destructively. It punishes the oppressor along with the oppressed.
The tragedy compounds when even the traumatized become tools of further dehumanization. That’s how empire works, it devours its own before it turns outward. What terrifies me isn’t just the brutality, but how skillfully it teaches us to live with it. To make silence feel like safety. To mistake numbness for peace. That’s not survival, that’s spiritual erosion.
You make some good points Elham: the West is morally and spiritually bankrupt. We could learn much in this respect from the Palestinians and Ansar-Allah (the Houthis) in particular. These people are moral giants: we are midgets. But I should say that this empire is collapsing - as you probably know: its energy is spent even though it will continue to flail its arms around hurting people in the process.
Rob, I think you may have misunderstood the spirit of what I was pointing to. My words weren’t meant to glorify any side, but to mourn the human cost of dehumanization itself, no matter who carries it out. I don’t speak from allegiance to factions. I speak from the wound. From the cost of metabolizing cruelty dressed up as ideology. That’s the ground I stand on.
I didn't think you were glorifying anyone or any side and I understand that you are mourning the human cost of dehumanisation. I agree with everything yo say. It is good that you do not belong to factions - neither do I. This medium lends itself to misunderstandings in my experience.
Dear Rob, thanks a lot for your very interesting post.
Is it so easy to gain the world domination? Organize an epic party with underaged girls for the gentlemens and eloquent womanizer for the ladies and take some photos.
Everyone who is watching these horrors will be scarred. I've lived a long time but I've never seen anything like Gaza - though I have watched the Israelis oppress and murder the Palestinians for decades.
That contact I mentioned in the previous post has been sending photos. I checked the tracker i couldn't see any drone strikes in the west region. Its weird the photos are of drinking and eating in bars restaurants etc nice cars etc its like a different world. Its strange to see people partying and a few miles up the road guys are getting killed. Seems like a poor man's war to me.
I agree about Epstein. I can't see how Trump would have set himself up. He must know what he got up to with Epstein or at his properties etc and factored in the worst case scenario. Plus the Democrats would have leaked anything that implicated Trump to destroy his candidacy?

That's a good question, but I doubt that you will ever get an answer.
Same with P.Diddy's rise.
I thought his rise was down to sampling every breath you take until I discovered the royalties had to go to Sting and Sting arranged a duet with P Diddy as part of the royalties deal. Its cringe worthy. Is P Diddy SBU? Kidding. I haven't been following the story.

Great update Rob. You have the greater Israel plan spot on.
What did you think of Starmer's plans to give 16/17 year olds the vote in the UK?
About as funny as the new manual for US tankers to combat drones.
https://taskandpurpose.com/news/army-tank-manual-drones/
Once again thanks for the update and hopefully a Ukrainian collapse or mass surrender is round the corner.

Have you seen the film Cross of Iron Rob? It is about the German army fighting on the Eastern front.
The platoon has its own implanted nazi party member.
Possibly similar to most Ukrainian platoons in present day.
Something change those desperately trying to avoid recruitment and the dreaded TCC to just follow orders into certain death.
With a regime above them that wants them exterminated and their land parcelled out to global corporations.
Strong drugs and total information blackout!
Sorry Anthony, I missed this. Yes - I have see Cross of Iron many times. It's one of my favourite war films.
Great film. James Coburn. I made the mistake of humming the opening songs in Germany at the inlaws one year. The first one is a beautiful children's song and the next is the horst wessel leid- which i didn't know. The analogy is correct. Its set i 1943 and I agree the Ukrainian army is now in this situation.
Yes a classic under looked film Michael. Must have been a bit of an awkward moment for you as well.
Its interesting that Blackrock are quoted as pulling out of Ukraine due to increased uncertainty.
I wonder what certainty pulled them in-in the first place, and who is pushing them out/ taking their place?
I didn't know that thanks. Is it just the rebuild project or all projects?. I presumed they would have been buying up the land/minerals etc. I think they know its finished. They'll be contacting the Russians now to bid for the rebuild,
Looks like the rebuild for now. Wouldn't take much sense to make that decision.
But the more important land deals, well time will tell.
In regards to voting, from what I can see a lot of under 18s don't really GAF nowadays.
But they are fairly street smart and hopefully they will see through the wobbling piles of shit like UK politicians quite easily.
Another eventful week. Thank you. I thought the Pope's response to bombing the only Catholic church left in Gaza was subdued and tepid.
The Epstein media circus is growing.

Hi Chris - I found the video on X. I must say it fooled me: I had no idea it was staged. How stupid of me..
Me too Rob. It's far weirder than I imagined. Cheers
It was William Casey the then head of the CIA who said "We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false"
It seems that it is ongoing. Cheers

Here it is Rob, quite an eye opener, https://x.com/essenviews/status/1945870392742359433?s=46
Interesting that Chris. Any information on the victims in the audience who died?
No but I would assume that they were fake too, ushered away to a secure hospital ward.
I think the Rutte tough guy look came from Zoolander.
Know what you mean. I've never been a fan of Ben Stiller - he usually gets on my nerves.
Thank you for saying that.
There’s a violence not just in the bombs but in the normalization.
The way silence becomes strategy.
The way horror becomes routine.
We are not just watching genocide.
We are metabolizing it.
And what kind of species survives that unchanged?
It will affect individuals depending on the nature of their involvement but not the whole species. Israeli soldiers have been tramatised and dehumanised by the experience and likewise the Israeli people to a lesser extent.

Israeli soldiers have been traumatized...
And this without any chance of forgetting till the end of their lifes. A lot of them are traumatized cripples forever.
A very harsh punishment.
There are no winners in wars, really. It's a sickness that infects and spreads wantonly and destructively. It punishes the oppressor along with the oppressed.

Nothing wrong with sarcasm Hans - thanks.
Sorry for my sarcasm...
Some say that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit: I think it's simply 'another' form of wit.
Or, if you are a bad guy, you can shutdown a very loud party in your neighborhood by ordering a B2 bomber for a precision strike...
I read these updates not with the ache of someone who knows: every delay in action, every “pause” in aid, every strategic deferral has a body count.
I ask not just what will happen next but who we will become in the process.
Because history is not just watching.
It is scarring.
Everyone who is watching these horrors will be scarred. I've lived a long time but I've never seen anything like Gaza - though I have watched the Israelis oppress and murder the Palestinians for decades.
