    A French investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged sex network has been criticized for its slow progress by women who say an associate of the disgraced financier raped and sexually assaulted them in France, claims that have raised questions over whether their allegations are again being "swept under the rug."
    The women’s concerns stem from investigators’ apparent limited efforts in tracking down other witnesses against Jean-Luc Brunel, a mysterious French modeling agent who allegedly procured women, some of them minors, for sex with Epstein and others.


    They said police have only issued one public appeal urging witnesses to come forward. The message, posted on Sept. 11 to Twitter and Facebook and only in French, might not have reached people who don’t belong to those social networks or follow the police feeds, according to the women.
    “I’m disappointed,” Thysia Huisman told The Associated Press. “There must be more victims, but you have to encourage them to come forward.”
    Huisman, a former model who is among a dozen people who have so far given evidence for the probe, told police she was drugged and raped in 1991 at age 18 by Brunel, who allegedly lured women with promises of modeling work.
    Anne-Claire Le Jeune, a lawyer for Huisman and two other women, said she believes police may not have been given all the tools they need to chase the investigation.
    “As time passes, I realize that the means really aren’t being deployed,” Le Jeune said. “There is a blockage. There is something dysfunctional.”

    we all know about Pizzagate, and we all know that Epstein is basically considered to be the living proof that Pizzagate is real. so why would Prince Andrew pour gasoline onto the fire by mentioning “pizza” at all in reference to his own involvement with Epstein’s underage rape blackmail ring? obviously Prince Andrew is guilty as sin and is lying, but why did he have to slap us in the face by mentioning “pizza”?
    i think i know why.
    remember from a few months ago when Boris Johnson gave a bizarre statement about his hobby being making model buses. Boris’ statement made no sense, but it has been claimed that Boris was intentionally “Google Blasting” himself, knowing his statement about making model buses would dominate the ranks in search engine results, and push down the search results about Boris Johnson’s older embarassing gaff from 2016 where he had a campaign bus painted with a slogan claiming the money saved from Brexit should go to fund the National Health Service.

    could Prince Andrew be doing the same thing and Google Blasting himself by claiming he was at a pizza party? now when Normies search for “prince andrew pizza”, they won’t see hundreds of links to pages and forums and blogs about Pizzagate, but instead those pages will be pushed down in rank, and the “more credible” and “official” news sites and tabloids about Prince Andrew’s pizza party alibi will be ranked at the top.

    Shortly after Jeffrey Epstein's August death in a Manhattan detention facility, a shadowy figure claiming to have set up encrypted servers for the convicted sex offender told several attorneys and the New York Times he had a vast archive of incriminating evidence against powerful men stored on overseas servers, including several years worth of the financier's communications and financial records which allegedly showed he had vast amounts of Bitcoin and cash in the Middle East and Bangkok, and hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of gold, silver and diamonds.

    Going by the pseudonym Patrick Kessler, self-described 'hacker' said he had "thousands of hours of footage from hidden cameras" from Epstein's multiple properties, which included former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, lawyer Alan Dershowitz, and Prince Andrew, along with three billionaires and a prominent CEO, according to the Times.
    It has been long speculated that Epstein recorded his high-profile guests as part of an international blackmail operation.

    Armed with nothing more than blurry photos of what he claimed were high-profile individuals in compromising situations, Kessler approached lawyers representing several Epstein accusers, John Pottinger and David Boies - the former of whom suggested that billionaire Sheldon Adelson - an ally of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - might pay for the alleged footage of Barak.

    According to excerpts viewed by The Times, Mr. Pottinger and Kessler discussed a plan to disseminate some of the informant’s materials — starting with the supposed footage of Mr. Barak. The Israeli election was barely a week away, and Mr. Barak was challenging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The purported images of Mr. Barak might be able to sway the election — and fetch a high price. -New York Times.
    After several weeks, the attorneys invited the New York Times to speak with Kessler in mid-September. Then things got even more unbelievable. Following a mid-September meeting with The Times in the Boies Schiller offices, Kessler went rogue - contacting the paper and accusing Boies and Pottinger of an extortion plot against the subjects of said tapes.
    Barely an hour after the session ended, the Times reporters received an email from Kessler: “Are you free?” He said he wanted to meet — alone. “Tell no one else.”
    ...
    Kessler complained that Mr. Boies and Mr. Pottinger were more interested in making money than in exposing wrongdoers. He pulled out his phone, warned the reporters not to touch it, and showed more of what he had. There was a color photo of a bare-chested, gray-haired man with a slight smile. Kessler said it was a billionaire. He also showed blurry, black-and-white images of a dark-haired man receiving oral sex. He said it was a prominent C.E.O.
    "At one point, he showed what he said were classified C.I.A. documents," writes the Times.
    Weeks after the meeting, the lawyers struck a deal with the Times during the last Friday in September. They would send a team overseas to download Kessler's evidence from his servers (and had alerted the FBI and the US Attorney's Office in Manhattan of their intention to do so), and would then share all the evidence with the paper on the condition that they would have discretion over which men could be written about, and when.
    Separately, Kessler had arranged to give the Times his evidence using a convoluted series of steps. On the day the data was to be transmitted, Kessler canceled at the 11th hour, claiming 'a fire was burning' and he had to flee to Ukraine.
    In early October, Kessler said he was ready to produce the Epstein files. He told The Times that he had created duplicate versions of Mr. Epstein’s servers. He laid out detailed logistical plans for them to be shipped by boat to the United States and for one of his associates — a very short Icelandic man named Steven — to deliver them to The Times headquarters at 11 a.m. on Oct. 3.
    Kessler warned that he was erecting a maze of security systems. First, a Times employee would need to use a special thumb drive to access a proprietary communications system. Then Kessler’s colleague would transmit a code to decrypt the files. If his instructions weren’t followed precisely, Kessler said, the information would self-destruct.
    Specialists at The Times set up a number of “air-gapped” laptops — disconnected from the internet — in a windowless, padlocked meeting room. Reporters cleared their schedules to sift through thousands of hours of surveillance footage.
    On the morning of the scheduled delivery, Kessler sent a series of frantic texts. Disaster had struck. A fire was burning. The duplicate servers were destroyed. One of his team members was missing. He was fleeing to Kyiv.
    Except two hours later, Kessler contacted Pottinger and didn't mention any emergency. Instead, he asked Pottinger to formulate two schemes for prying up to $1 billion from potential targets with the footage which the Times suggested may have been a trap.
    Pottinger obliged, describing two options for capitalizing on the evidence. The first, a "standard model" for legal settlements, would include splitting the money among Epstein's victims, a charitable foundation, Kessler, and the lawyers - who would get up to 40%.
    In the second hypothetical, the lawyers would approached the high-profile men, convince them to hire them to ensure they wouldn't get sued, and then "make a contribution to a nonprofit as part of their retainer."
    Pottinger would effectively represent a victim, settle their case, and then represent the victim's alleged abuser - a legal, yet morally questionable practice for an attorney to engage in.
    Dershowitz and the weird recorded phone call

    In late September, Dershowitz's secretary related a message that Kessler wanted to speak with him about Boies - with whom Dershowitz has a long-running feud. Dershowitz recorded the call, during which Kessler said he no longer trusted Boies and Pottinger.
    "The problem is that they don’t want to move forward with any of these people legally," said Kessler, adding "They’re just interested in trying to settle and take a cut."
    “Who are these people that you have on videotape?” Mr. Dershowitz asked.
    “There’s a lot of people,” Kessler said, naming a few powerful men. He added, “There’s a long list of people that they want me to have that I don’t have.”
    “Who?” Mr. Dershowitz asked. “Did they ask about me?”
    “Of course they asked about you. You know that, sir.”
    “And you don’t have anything on me, right?”
    “I do not, no,” Kessler said.
    “Because I never, I never had sex with anybody,” Mr. Dershowitz said. Later in the call, he added, “I am completely clean. I was at Jeffrey’s house. I stayed there. But I didn’t have any sex with anybody.”
    As the Times asks, "what was the purpose of Kessler’s phone call? Why did he tell Mr. Dershowitz that he wasn’t on the supposed surveillance tapes, contradicting what he had said and showed to Mr. Boies, Mr. Pottinger and The Times? Did the call sound a little rehearsed?"
    Dershowitz told the Times he has no idea why Kessler called him.
    Holding out hope
    In a November 7 email, Boies told the Times "I still believe he is what he purported to be," adding "I have to evaluate people for my day job, and he seemed too genuine to be a fake, and I very much want him to be real."

    Epstein isn't dead. The "dead Epstein" pics released were obvious photoshop jobs and not even good attempts. The purpose of the "Epstein didn't kill himself" meme is to deflect from that fact and present a false "choice" of how he died, suicide or murder, when the real story is that he didn't die at all.

    Epstein didn't kill himself is 100% compatible with Epstein is still alive.

    Epstein is currently in witness protection, and he is singing like a canary.

    The statement alone doesn't, you're right. But the result has been that every post or article about Epstein now implies or outright states that he was murdered and that is the false choice being presented.

    Mel Gibson needs protection though. Hes Talking.

    Hollywood studios are “drenched in the blood of innocent children” according to Mel Gibson who claims the consumption of “baby blood is so popular in Hollywood that it basically operates as a currency of its own.”

    Hollywood elites are an “enemy of mankind continually acting contrary to our best interests” and “breaking every God given taboo known to man, including the sanctity of children,”

    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    Corporate banker Thomas Bowers, who ran the U.S. division of private wealth management for Deutsche Bank AG, reportedly committed suicide last month at the age of 55 by hanging himself with a rope in his California residence.

    However, his extensive ties to deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein – who also died from a mysterious suicide – has caused speculation about what the real cause of Bowers’ death may be.
    Epstein moved millions of his personal wealth through Deutsche Bank before his death. He switched to Deutsche Bank in 2013 after his conviction for child sex crimes when even JP Morgan would no longer do business with him. Following investigations into civil cases exposing the extent of Epstein’s criminal network by the Miami Herald, Deutsche Bank finally began to close his accounts.

    “Deutsche Bank is closely examining any business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, and we are absolutely committed to cooperating with all relevant authorities,” a spokesperson for the bank said.


    Former bank executive Mike Moore, who led a Citigroup division’s anti-money laundering unit during a time when Citi was in bed with Epstein, commented on the nature of Epstein’s loans with the corporate lender.
    “The loans to Epstein were personal and commercial,” Moore said. “The Citi loans I can confirm were for more than $25 million. Some were secured, some were not.”
    According to sources that spoke with True Pundit, Epstein received similar loans from both Citigroup and Deutsche Bank, and it is not a coincidence that Bowers worked in the same role for both banks when Epstein was doing business with them. Bowers was chief of The Citi Private Bank, and led Citigroup’s Global Markets and Wealth Management businesses before he made his way to Deutsche Bank.

    The FBI reportedly subpoenaed Deutsche Bank earlier this year for loans and accounts with ties to Epstein. Bowers was among the individuals who they hoped to interview about Epstein’s finances. They will never get the chance, and never get the answers they were seeking because of his convenient suicide.
    Even though Epstein allegedly refused to pay Citi back for the loans they gave him, Bowers continued to do business with him because of his elite connections. He also reportedly traveled to Epstein’s private island, Little St. James, and was a frequent visitor to Epstein’s lavish New York City home.

    Twitter users have assembled an enormous map of Epstein's social connections

    Reminds me a bit of Nash's office in A Beautiful Mind. Hopefully, it will be of some use in holding the Establishment media accountable to stop spinning this story and trying to turn it into a "water under the bridge" narrative now that Epstein is dead. The Epstein/Maxwell network was enormous. They were doing a lot of illegal stuff and many of the wealthiest and most powerful people from all over the globe were involved.

    I don't buy the narrative that the public can't handle full disclosure, that it would "cause mayhem". I don't give a damn if Mother Theresa herself was involved, the names and detailed charges need to be fully disclosed and the manhunt needs to get underway. Millions or billions of eyes looking for the guilty will be far more effective in catching them and bringing them to justice than a few dozen special assignment detectives in some obscure FBI office. Stop treating this case with kid gloves. The truth hurts but sometimes pain is the only path to catharsis.

    Sun: Jeffrey Epstein co-pilot reveals paedo had ‘underage’ stewardesses dressed as ‘sexy nurses’ on private jet

    I'm not a fan of these click-bait articles and I have only posted this here to make the following points. The lapdog media is working overtime at full-tilt to spin this story into a narrative about a solitary billionaire pervert and maybe a few of his close, inner-circle buddies who happened to be rich and powerful but, otherwise, had only one real interest in common: underage girls. So, we will get really in-depth coverage of a creepy foam-mattress floor and underage girls in candy-striped adult wear, and so on. The true purpose of this titillating coverage is to intensify the focus onto Epstein alone and maybe a handful of his pervert friends. The idea is to show how opulently Epstein himself lived and use this focus to "radio jam" the public's interest in how he was able to pay for all of that opulence, that is, what purpose it served beyond his own gratification.

    I don't know how to put this but it is my view that we're on the verge of going "down the rabbit hole", in the truly mental aspect of that phrase. We're being led to believe that there are eyewitnesses just now coming out of the woodwork but this is obviously false since Epstein was already investigated, tried, jailed, etc. when he was first caught in the 2005-2008 era. Wiki says, "federal officials had ... identified 36 girls, some as young as 14 years old, whom Epstein had sexually abused" at that time. So now we're supposed to believe that all of these victims stepping forward to be interviewed are having their "MeToo" moment when, in fact, the justice system has known about what happened to them for more than a decade and did jack squat about it in terms of actually holding the perpetator(s) accountable.

    I've watched a flurry of news on this since Epstein's death and I can't remember who said it but it was to the effect that Epstein's 2008 deal is beyond belief, that nobody is rich enough to pull off a sweetheart deal like that, the federal government is more than capable of taking down a billionaire if they're guilty of mass sexual crimes as Epstein was. This is really the heart of the matter and it's where the focus needs to remain even as the media tries to spin this story to be all about Epstein in order to bury it with him. There's no way in hell that Epstein was abusing all these girls on his own. No amount of money could have allowed him to purchase his way out of the crimes that federal investigators knew he was guilty of (and didn't even bother bringing charges against him on). The entire weight of the federal justice system came to bear on him and he walked away with a literal slap on the wrist. From the more believable personal accounts and descriptions of Epstein, it sounds like he was not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree (except at doing the one thing he did best: grooming little girls for a life of prostitution). So, the "mastermind billionaire puppeteer" theory where Epstein hatched and implemented some devious plan to escape charges by getting dirt on cops, judges, etc. also doesn't work.

    The only explanation that actually makes sense is that Epstein was plugged into a much larger network that includes official intelligence agencies with the ability to turn the ship of State this way and that way. Did the dirt that Epstein was generating play a role in keeping the network protected? Doubtless. But no amount of money and no amount of criminal sex tapes could protect a network like this from being taken down if it did not have well-placed guardian angels at the highest official levels of the State -- that means intelligence agencies and the only boss they acknowledge... the sitting executive(s). Does any serious-minded adult believe that federal investigators came to know of 36 girls abused by Epstein, some as young as 14, and did not think to take the opportunity to penetrate the network and flip it into a honey-trap? And if they did "just walk away" from this once-in-a-generation opportunity, what kind of entity could possibly have persuaded them to do that? Does anyone really think the justice department is impressed with how much money or jets or islands a lone pedo billionaire has when they have the actual legal power to seize 100% of it?

The lapdog media is working overtime at full-tilt to spin this story into a narrative about a solitary billionaire pervert and maybe a few of his close, inner-circle buddies who happened to be rich and powerful but, otherwise, had only one real interest in common: underage girls. So, we will get really in-depth coverage of a creepy foam-mattress floor and underage girls in candy-striped adult wear, and so on. The true purpose of this titillating coverage is to intensify the focus onto Epstein alone and maybe a handful of his pervert friends. The idea is to show how opulently Epstein himself lived and use this focus to "radio jam" the public's interest in how he was able to pay for all of that opulence, that is, what purpose it served beyond his own gratification.

    I don't know how to put this but it is my view that we're on the verge of going "down the rabbit hole", in the truly mental aspect of that phrase. We're being led to believe that there are eyewitnesses just now coming out of the woodwork but this is obviously false since Epstein was already investigated, tried, jailed, etc. when he was first caught in the 2005-2008 era. Wiki says, "federal officials had ... identified 36 girls, some as young as 14 years old, whom Epstein had sexually abused" at that time. So now we're supposed to believe that all of these victims stepping forward to be interviewed are having their "MeToo" moment when, in fact, the justice system has known about what happened to them for more than a decade and did jack squat about it in terms of actually holding the perpetator(s) accountable.

    I've watched a flurry of news on this since Epstein's death and I can't remember who said it but it was to the effect that Epstein's 2008 deal is beyond belief, that nobody is rich enough to pull off a sweetheart deal like that, the federal government is more than capable of taking down a billionaire if they're guilty of mass sexual crimes as Epstein was. This is really the heart of the matter and it's where the focus needs to remain even as the media tries to spin this story to be all about Epstein in order to bury it with him. There's no way in hell that Epstein was abusing all these girls on his own. No amount of money could have allowed him to purchase his way out of the crimes that federal investigators knew he was guilty of (and didn't even bother bringing charges against him on). The entire weight of the federal justice system came to bear on him and he walked away with a literal slap on the wrist. From the more believable personal accounts and descriptions of Epstein, it sounds like he was not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree (except at doing the one thing he did best: grooming little girls for a life of prostitution). So, the "mastermind billionaire puppeteer" theory where Epstein hatched and implemented some devious plan to escape charges by getting dirt on cops, judges, etc. also doesn't work.

    The only explanation that actually makes sense is that Epstein was plugged into a much larger network that includes official intelligence agencies with the ability to turn the ship of State this way and that way. Did the dirt that Epstein was generating play a role in keeping the network protected? Doubtless. But no amount of money and no amount of criminal sex tapes could protect a network like this from being taken down if it did not have well-placed guardian angels at the highest official levels of the State -- that means intelligence agencies and the only boss they acknowledge... the sitting executive(s). Does any serious-minded adult believe that federal investigators came to know of 36 girls abused by Epstein, some as young as 14, and did not think to take the opportunity to penetrate the network and flip it into a honey-trap? And if they did "just walk away" from this once-in-a-generation opportunity, what kind of entity could possibly have persuaded them to do that? Does anyone really think the justice department is impressed with how much money or jets or islands a lone pedo billionaire has when they have the actual legal power to seize 100% of it?

    The Duke of York’s flagship project is being shut down in the UK while directors of its overseas arm have indicated they will quit if he does not relinquish control.
    Pitch@Palace CIC, which is based in Buckingham Palace, is being wound up after trustees concluded it had no future in the wake of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
    But the Duke is refusing to give up its sister company Pitch@Palace Global, prompting three of its directors to offer their resignations.
    While Pitch@Palace CIC is a non-profit-making company and is controlled by the Prince Andrew Charitable Trust, the overseas arm Pitch@Palace Global is owned by the Duke himself and was set up to make profits by brokering deals between tech start-ups and wealthy investors.
    Three of the remaining five directors of Pitch@Palace Global, a Dragons’ Den-style corporate project, have told the Duke that its future is untenable while it retains an association with him. The imminent departures of Martin Dunnett, a private equity executive, Alex Johnston, an app developer and investor and Martin Harriman, a telecoms entrepreneur, would leave only two directors at the helm: Amanda Thirsk, the Duke’s private secretary, and Johan Eliasch, a sports tycoon and close friend.
    The Duke was photographed on a yacht surrounded by topless women in Thailand in 2001 on a holiday with Mr Eliasch.
    A well-placed source said: “Pitch@Palace CIC will be wound down. The company belongs to the Prince Andrew Charitable Trust and the trustees met and decided to close it down. Pitch Global is going to carry on but because of the massive changes that have happened, three of the existing directors felt there was a need for a strategic review and they decided to step aside by resigning.”

    House Oversight Committee Investigates Epstein’s Favorable Plea Deal

    This raises an interesting question. Did Trump, Barr, Acosta, et. al. merely see the writing on the wall and try to get ahead of the inevitable implosion of Epstein and crew? Trump has distanced himself from Epstein (since well before even Epstein's first trial) but why isn't the executive driving its own investigation? We can be sure that the executive would be all over any department that obstructed the oil trade (whether due to corruption or for some other reason). So why aren't they all over the state attorney's office? Why is the notoriously slow and bumbling Congress having to drive this? The best way I can think of to ensure that absolutely nothing comes of an investigation is to have Congress perform it. It's plain as day that everything connected to Epstein was as dirty as dirty gets, why is Trump silent about this? What better opportunity to supposedly "drain the swamp"?

    If I'm right that Trump is turning a blind eye to the Epstein affair, that doesn't necessarily mean he's guilty of partaking. But it might mean that he is working for those who are. But it also calls into question the whole Q psyop. By its nature (completely anonymous), the Q operation is the kind of thing that is either very, very good... or very, very evil. If Trump is an errand-boy sent to bulldoze over the entire Epstein network into a giant sinkhole never to be seen again, why is Q emphasizing so strongly that Trump and all these other Trump admin players are "the good guys"? Once again, I'm not drawing any conclusions here, I'm simply airing out concerns that have been building in the back of my mind over the last year+ since I started following the Qanon thing. Once every source of information is corrupted, where can a person turn to get reliable information? At the moment, it's starting to feel like there is nowhere safe to turn...

    Trump is helping bring down Epstein. Trump put Epstein in witness protection, he is alive and well and will be testifying. He may already be testifying in secret military tribunals. The only reason Trump stayed friends with him as long as he did was to get more information and maybe some blackmail material. Be patient. Trust the plan.
