There is no evidence Epstein was 'CIA,' and she didn't have information to that effect. What we do know is there was a network of people bent on effecting this particular set of outcomes, and that she was part of it.

Democrats protest Treasury division nominee over missing Trump financial documents They claim the Treasury Department is too slow in furnishing records related to probes of alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.

1/One overlooked Epstein figure is Sigal Mandelker, who negotiated his 2008 deal with Acosta and Barr. In 2017, she was named Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intel, but faced scrutiny for missing FinCEN reports in Mueller’s Trump-Russia probe.

"When Britain's most powerful political fixer was caught on an oligarch's boat in Corfu, we called it Yachtgate & moved on. The Epstein files now reveal the full picture: a web of Russian money, paedophile kompromat and New Labour access that shaped a decade of British politics, writes Tamsin Shaw."

8/Those interested can search for Mandelker’s name in the Epstein corpus. I’m in the process of filing some new FOIA requests, given all we know now. Will report back when we have more info.

7/Mandelker’s husband, Steven Capozzola, worked with Steve Bannon as a writer for Breitbart (and other similar publications) and focused primarily climate denial propaganda at the time.

Michael Flynn’s Bank Raised Alarms On Transactions, But Only After Trump Fired Him Secret government documents identified more than $500,000 in payments originating in Turkey.

6/Mandelker also oversaw FinCEN when suspicious transfers were made to Michael T. Flynn from foreign governments, but no inquiry was made. William Barr subsequently worked to exonerate Flynn after he pled guilty to lying to the FBI.

Missing Files Motivated the Leak of Michael Cohen’s Financial Records A law-enforcement official released the documents after finding that additional suspicious transactions did not appear in a government database.

5/Mandelker was running FinCEN when Michael Cohen’s Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) got disappeared. No explanation for this has been offered to this day, as far as I am aware.

4/Interestingly, no replacement was appointed for Mandelker’s position for over two years (Oct 2019 to Dec 2021), which meant we had no one overseeing sanctions or FinCEN functions. The position was eventually filled by Brian E. Nelson.

Seriously, this is no joke and intervention is necessary NOW. The illegal trademarks are one pathway in. There are others. Don't brush this off as one of Trump's follies. It's anything but.

6) Trump says he intends to use BoP to "oversee" the United Nations. There is no provision in the UN charter for this; what he means is that he will extort the UN by withholding US dues.

4) Since BoP doesn't exist, USPTO is illegally holding its trademarks on its behalf, violating the Lanham Act, which requires that holders intend to use marks in commerce.

3) BoP is collecting funds (JP Morgan as banker) in violation of Know-Your-Customer laws since BoP *doesn't exist*. It is a transnational mafia backed only by the executive power of its members.

1) There is no legal entity for "Board of Peace" organized under the laws of any country, meaning it is subject to NO country's laws.

Thank you for echoing the Primakov Doctrine with such fidelity! Well done, comrade!

Let's just say that Katrina van den Heuvel and the late Stephen Cohen have a complex relationship with the KGB.

This is not to say there aren't things to be revealed, or legitimate trust issues. But DO be aware that this is a weapons system being deployed directly against your mind and the population as a whole. Build defenses; reality test; differentiate between fact and conjecture.

Obviously, use him as the tool that he is, then starve him of oxygen. This is a war, not a garden party, and he is an enemy combatant.

Thomas Massie Is No American Hero Rep. Thomas Massie has gained a following thanks to his pursuit of transparency with the Epstein files, but his track record reveals a strong alignment with Vladimir Putin.

Withdrawal from NATO. Abolishing the Federal Reserve. Terminating aid to Ukraine. These are the positions of both Vladimir Putin and Rep. Thomas Massie.

Epstein transparency is good — Massie is not, and shouldn’t be given power.
america2.news/thomas-massi...

And, this should be painfully obvious, but the way to deal with this is to welcome the transparency brought these documents but give Massie no quarter, credit, or capacity to shape narratives. He is doing this to gain that power; deny him.

I think your conclusion is self-evident. But we mustn’t praise Massie and give him a platform or we will fail here.

Those people are all Putin-aligned. And don’t forget Khanna. Parties not relevant in this context.

Ignorant nonsense. The issue is what Massie does next, and his stated intention to harm US interests. That has nothing whatever to do with whether exposure of the Epstein files is necessary (it is).

He is not working for the best interests of the United States and must be viewed in that context. That doesn’t have any bearing on whether the exposure of Epstein files is good or bad (it is good).
