Epstein – Creature from the Swamp

1. Even if important Epstein documentation has been destroyed, one would think that Ghislaine Maxwell has a significant amount of key knowledge regarding what went on at Little Saint James. If she refuses to divulge this knowledge freely, perhaps she could be transferred to the custody of one of our “partners” that is less finicky about their methods of persuasion. Maybe she could renditionned to Israel. I’m sure the threat of being delivered to Israeli intelligence will teach Br’er Jizz a lesson.

   1. If we sent Jizz to Israel to be drained, it makes any criminal prosecution of what we get from her impossible. We’d know everything she knew but I don’t know that anything would be done about it. Best case scenario for Bill & Hillary.

      1. >any criminal prosecution of what we get from her impossible
         Exactly. Hence “Please don’t throw me into that there briar patch!” Br’er Jizz cried pitifully.
         Though maybe not. One wonders if Ms Maxwell dead is preferable over a live Maxwell to the people that most assuredly didn’t have a single thing to do with her, or Epstein, or Maxwell senior.

         1. The public wants scalps and there has been at least a tacit assurance that the Epstein File will lead to scalps (possibly pubic scalps?). If USGOV botches the criminal investigation, which isn’t difficult to do (trust me, been there, done that, bought the t-shirt), it will be viewed as intentional whether it is or not. The public wants to view the selacious videos of Hillary raping young girls and Bill doing the same. It’s prime-time (even pay per view) TV. And they want to see these celebrity pedos prosecuted.

            In order to get from here to there legally, you must proceed with some caution and deliberation. Which is why I think they’re still reviewing what they have and how to get where they want to go. Top that with the machine (like all of DC) set against you.

            1. A cousin, political junkie (conservative) posted something to the effect that so much dirt is in those files that the scandals will collapse governments and economies. If so, that gives Trump and edge in any negotiations. From my point of view, let the dogs loose, pay the costs now, and let the disinfectant sunlight clean. We will have a better world afterwards.
               I don’t know just where she got that information; she is plugged into sources and has been correct in the past.

   1. Well done!

3. Sorta off topic but kinda swampish, American Digest is fixin’ to shut down in the very near future, but before it does, here’s one Van der Leun (R.I.P.) did about another swamp creature presumably near and dear to all our hearts:

   1. Van Der Leun was always excellent…thanks for the reminder.

      1. He certainly nailed Milley.

   2. I miss his writing immensely. Thanks for the link.

4. Germany’s demise; Will the desperation for recruits open a pathway for Persian immigrants to serve? From the estimated populace in England and Germany what percentage are or want to be citizens?
   In my most vulnerable state, (sitting in the dentist chair) I’m able to refrain from asking such questions. My dentist is from Mosul.
   In our business dealings in the last couple decades I’ve surveyed immigrants their motives for coming to the USA. All of them from communist countries and one from Iran said ” freedom “. Even though they were all prospering like the green card workers I’ve known from Mexico, it was not to get the goods and return back home.

   1. I suppose it depends on the particular immigrant. Are they here for the gibs, or is it like Elendil? (“Et Eärello Americenna utúlien. Sinomë maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn’ Ambar-metta.” Out of the Great Sea to America I am come. In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.) In other words, are you all in?

      I have a friend who holds a German passport but is genetically Iranian. Born, raised, and educated in Germany, she considers herself “100% German. I have no identification with Iran.” She is actually more pro-Germany than her very Teutonic husband. As another example, me personally, I’m far more all in on the US, and the idea of the US as a majority white-European, primarily Christian nation, than 90 or 95% of white Americans. I see no positives but many negatives to more aliens, be they stupid violent ones from [redacted] or even smart ones from, say, East Asia. The fact that I am something like two standard deviations out from the “average American” tells you just how screwed up this country is. And even among the ones who are anti mass immigration, something like half of those refuse to see who are the most responsible for this state of affairs. So the TL;DR is that my German friend and I are extreme outliers.

      Within even one generation ago, there was something of the idea that as an immigrant, you should strive to fit in to your host country and host culture. But now we have literally tens of millions of ungrateful, unassimilated and fundamentally unassimilable hostile aliens here for the gibs. So IMNSHO the proportion of immigrants who might be a vague positive (or at least not a clear negative) is much smaller now than 20 or 30 years ago. Doubly bad is that the total number of immigrants is almost certainly up. Finally, I’d add that the kind of people who come here and decide that they will “repair” our nation by changing it to suit THEIR prejudices are the absolute worst sort of people. Now guess what kind of people are those to whom we’ve ceded the news media, academia, and popular culture?

      1. The news media must be purged (as legally as possible) such that they work to report facts. I realize that rebroadcasting democrat daily talking points is their bread and butter but the propaganda wears thin. When Pravda contains more truth than the American mainstream media, we have big problems.

         1. My son wanted to be a photographer, and went into Journalism as ‘back door’ way to do it. He hated it. He said they weren’t teaching you how to be real investigative reporter any longer. All the teachers were concentrating on how to spin articles and shape opinions. Kind of like an early version of “How To Be An Influencer”.

            So he switched programs to become and EMT, and had his sights set on being a Paramedic.

            1. The media has changed significantly over the years, and the sources of their advertising income are shifting to venues away from the big national organizations (the Times, etc.) The legacy media still has legacy advertisers, but they get much less punch for their money. There are very few actual reporters these days. The big outlets want their operatives (reporters) to “make news” rather than to be impartial reporters.

            2. I recall speaking to a reporterette once, answering a few questions on something fairly benign, was then quoted in the paper (with actual quotes)…didn’t recognize a damn thing related to anything I said; the picture “painted” by this “writer” was completely different from what I said.

      2. Mike, In the USA I’ve seen how the Indian Imigrants invest here as owner/ operators of convenience stores and motels. With all the regulations and taxes compared to where they came from I wonder… is it for better education of posterity? When I read and heard the right of passage prices during the southern invasion, I’ve thought if an individual from a,b, or c country and has $ up front for the trip and the toll at the border, what kind of business could be started back home?
         I see the human trafficking elements, debt slavery, and the ones lured here by hearing of all the Gibs.
         I like the quote you shared and thought of how so many fearfully trembled when arriving at Ellis Island, hoping they would qualify.
         Our Canadian son in law is a model citizen, entrepreneur, and a very patriotic 2 “eh” to defend his family and our country.
         Another lifetime friend is of German and Native descent. He’s a daylight to dark kinda guy. Married to a full blooded Teutonic, still holding on to her citizenship after a 30 yr medical career here. The impression I have from her is, no guns, no war, “better red than dead”, do anything the government says. ( magnified by 3 to the 2nd power as they navigated their restaurant through the plannedemic)
         Myself personally, am color blind. It’s a matter of culture, not ethnic or skin color. If legal immigrants ( like the chinese ive gotten to know that have restaurants) keep their good culture , I lean libertarian, AS LONG AS THEY are willing to learn English, learn our civil laws, respect them and WTP. I realize that for jihadists and some other religions that is obviously just not possible.
         P.S.My great grandfather immigrated from Germany to homestead in NE back in the late 1800’s. My Mother’s Swedish and Norwegian.

         1. I don’t know border-crossing prices in general, but as of a month ago, I was (fairly) reliably informed that the price for marriage for green card/residency purposes (i.e. a fake marriage, jia jie hwun in Mandarin) is about $70k USD. Getting transported from Thailand to Flushing, New York City, was about $40k USD — though this ranged from $30k to 50k. This was aggregated from several persons with PRC citizenship who were living in Flushing or in Markham, Ontario (suburb of Toronto, and very very Chinese). I don’t know why Thailand specifically, but that was the point of origin specified. I’m curious to know if the price for jia jie hwun is going to go up now that illegals are more likely to be tossed out. How these incurred debts are subsequently paid off, I don’t know.

            I agree that culture/behavior is what truly matters, but culture is highly correlated with race. Whether this is due to intrinsic neuro-wiring differences or not is unclear to me [1], but as far as immigrants go, culture is functionally downstream of race. As an example, East Asians (such as PKG who was born in the US but raised and went to college in the ROK [2]) tend to cluster in their behaviors. The stereotypes of conformity and acceptance of authority simply because it has a title, are mostly true. I have a bunch of Japanese people at work, and same same with them. Even though the Koreans and Japanese loathe each other. Prior job we had a LOT of young MDs from India, Pakistan, and to a lesser extent Iran. The subcons about 75-80% had very similar behavior and outlook. These were persons from the upper 2% of their societies (so not the hotel-motel-Patel group), and they sucked up, shit down, and were shameless about lying to each other (or us) for the slightest advantage. They also were EXTREMELY class/rank conscious, and most disliked-to-hated white people. I got to hear some of that hatred probably because I’m not white. My point is that while WE can choose to not see color or race, the people on the other side MOST DEFINITELY see color and race. And I’m not necessarily saying that Western (by which I mean white, primarily Protestant, northern and western European) culture is the best culture (though it is). I think Western culture is worth preserving because it is MY culture and I am used to it.

            >AS LONG AS THEY are willing to learn English, learn our civil laws, respect them and WTP
            I agree. And I used to believe fervently in that. But my experience is that there is less and less willingness to learn and respect American culture and attitudes and behaviors. It’s like the “Californicator Problem”. Leave California to get away from the mess. Move to Red State, then move heaven and earth to recreate the very laws and culture and dysfunctional society that you moved out of Cali to get away from. Basically, where you have a lot of Chinese immigrants, you tend to get China. Where there are a lot of Indian immigrants, you get India. And so forth. Used to be the second and third generations adapted, but with mass migration to the extent where the “heritage Americans” become locally a minority, you do NOT get the adaptation and assimilation.

            [1] Culture: as with everything else, there is no doubt an innate part, and a learned part. Some cultural things (as are common in East Asia, for example) are not possible if the biological substrate is stupid and impulsive. Conversely, impulsivity may be a survival trait in other circumstances, and East Asians (who tend to NOT be impulsive) might do worse in those environments.
            [2] I have been informed by many Chinese and by PKG that I would NOT thrive in China or Korea because “you are too American”. PKG points out “You may have an out. If you can get Koreans to think of you as ‘the foreign expert’ then you might be able to get away with who you are. But if they see you as another Asian, you’ll be in big trouble because of how you deal with authority. They’d crush you. If you moved to Korea you’d have to continually emphasize the Harvard training and MIT degree.” I tried to defend myself. “I understand the importance of hierarchy. And I understand salute the rank, not the man.” She sighed. “You still don’t get it. It doesn’t matter if you know, if we all know, the boss is stupid and wrong. He’s still the boss. You’d tell him he’s wrong, even if you’re polite about it. That’s a very American thing to do. We don’t do that in Korea.”

               .
               That’s in line with my understanding. There are no absolute numbers but those are in the range. The pay-back methods are varied. In some cases, attractive women become prostitutes and pay back in that way through the higher end outcall. In some cases they take the risker aspects of trafficking. Chinese are relentless in their pursuit of debtors paying back with significant interest rates. Snakeheads sometimes just move bodies and sometimes they take a position in the indenture circumstances. I’ve known snakeheads who do both. Some snakeheads stay in the business, and others move on to other legal/semi-legal/illegal activities depending on the person. I know one person who started out as a prostitute, moved to madam, to snakehead, to legitimate real estate developer (big projects). Said person called me for advice late last week on a personal matter. It’s a small world.

            2. PKG is correct. There are strict protocols with behavior that are enforced among Asians. Outsiders (distinguished foreign experts) are treated differently. It’s better if you’re white and American. White and British is still ok, but not as good because the Sun has set on the British Empire.

            3. I talked to an Indian Motel owner a few years ago.
               Mentioned that my folks owned one and I swore I’d never be a landlord.
               He said, “That’s why we run them. Doing the jobs Americans won’t do.”

5. Like Epstein’s garbage being held tightly to keep the reprobates identities and evil proclivity’s hidden (not that we don’t know some and what already), RFK’s murder doc’s may not shed any new light. Doesn’t matter, we know the Deep State has been around a long time and do whatever it can to protect its secret club activities. The revelation that WTP are(were) paying for this criminal scumbags “protection” while Trump was under served while a candidate….instead of prison for this bum…well, nuf said. BTW, Barry and Joe and Hillary seem to be awfully quiet lately. Yeah…that.

   On a lighter note…played ball a long time…love to see the young ‘men’ on a sunny day enjoying the mini-show and winning. Proud Grndpa I am sure. Here? The March lamb-lion effect is in full swing…sun and 60 to – in one day – 18 with snow. Ahh, Springtime in the Rockies.
   ***
   On an even lighter note, there’s this little tidbit: Seems Da Boyz have not exactly hung up the steering wheel…”The Not Very Grand Tour is set to be released next month (18 April 2025)”. Can’t wait…lighter fare with 12 yo antics is just what the doctor ordered with all this…shall we say…Bravo Sierra… by a bunch of imbeciles in charge that seems to overshadow all that is good and decent in life. Fun is just what the doctor ordered.

   1. Germany needs to convince native born German men that buggering each other isn’t the best choice. There are a lot of frauleins out there who could bring Germany to replacement numbers if they each had 4+ children.

      1. But can they afford to have four children each? How could they pay for their overpriced condo, big screens in every room, and two leased high-end cars? You mean parents are supposed to forego such luxuries so they can have four children? (sarc off)….

         1. There are significant challenges that have to do with raising children. Significant sacrifices. A culture can either replicate itself or die.

            1. When part of the population has no idea what a male or female is, then add in some percentage of yungin’s who don’t care to mature, grow up, have families…this becomes a built-in hindrance to species advancement.

         2. 👌

6. By quoting from that Hopf book, can we infer an endorsement of the series? Always looking for a good read (until Shorts II, and the Broken Toys and Red Mist sequels appear).

7. It will be decades before anything damning comes from the Epstein investigation (if ever) which implicates powerful U.S. politicians, or administrators in criminal activities. Witnesses have had time to be threatened, or coached, and any physical evidence will have little value due to how it was collected. I think this is one where the only real justice will be like the justice in “The Shooter”, and time is running out. The older people involved won’t last as long as it would take in an attempt to bring them to trial.

   1. Looking at “Justice” Roberts the entrapment rot runs deep…forgetting he has no say in a co-equal Branch. He’s bought, which makes him an unprincipled putz and just as bad as any other seditionist. Gotta be patient, PDJT and The A-team likely set a contingency for such matters since none of the bought operatives kept it a secret. (Guessing the SCOTUS leak was Roberts…makes sense.)

      1. Roberts was on the flight log to the Island.

         2. Had a Shop chat with a neighbor friend who mention he was concerned that Trump was also on the flight log. Told him Trump was on it once (Clinton, at least two dozen), and that all these guys ran in the same upper crust/business circles; parties, meetings, businesses, vacation spots….and often would offer each other a ride on their private jet for convenience…to…say, Florida or some island (St. John is not the same as Little St. John, aka Epstein Island). Means nothing to be on the flight log…but it does mean something with repeat [offenders] who appear on the log. I also explained that when Epstein and Maxwell were at a Mar-A-Lago party, and one of the waitresses was discovered to be in ‘disarray’, Trump spoke with her (because he’s a good man and cares about people). Finds out Epstein tried to ‘have his way with her’…to which Trump – not realizing who this guy really was behind the scenes of elite hobnobbing – went up to Epstein and told him to immediately leave or be in serious trouble.

8. My mom would flip a gut if I ever left the house with my shirt untucked; these days, even in Flowreeda, it does tend to hide a number of – weel, let’s just say – things that should remain “under cover” – like an appendix holster.
   100% totally off topic:
   just the other day i received both a text message on my phone and an email from Chase (Bank) Fraud Protection Squad advising me that an sutopay to a long-standing payee (6 years) had been denied; telling me I must verify the charge, if true; also requiring the payee to resubmit the charge as well.
   Does anyone know whether it’s Federal Banking regulations or the nasty little gnomes at Chase that have this ultra-strong desire to protect my ill-gotten gains?
   Wouldn’t it have been just as easy to send me a message advising me that payment would be delayed until I verified the charge? am I asking too much? am I just being elderly?

   1. I wouldn’t trust the e-mail. Go into a branch and speak with a banker about the matter. Do it in person.

      1. Yeah, the grips of the 1911 are better disguised by an untuck.

9. reviewing the map of the Bab al Mandab Strait, it came to me how much like the lower intestine it looks – I’m not going to go into exquisite graphic detail, but I have heard it called the a$$ end of the world by people who’ve visited the area
   I was attempting to explain the other day to a Liberal/Marxist/Democrat (any of the above will do and I know it’s been called “mental mast-n”), but one must try if we’re not to get overwhelmed by an adverse Congress in ’26, the importance of being able to move goods by ship through the Arabian Sea and Gulf of Aden up the Red Sea through the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean to the European markets. Goods moved by ship are way so much cheaper than by air or rail; there is no rail passage from Taiwan or Japan to France and taking the roundabout route round the Cape of Good Hope is just ridiculous – may as well ship by air.
   I think the problem is that the majority of people I speak with know where NYC and Boston are in relation to Hawaii – and that’s about it; they have absolutely no picture in their minds of any other area of the world; not one of them knows where that chokepoint between Yemen and the Djibouti-Eritrean border lies or it’s importance to world trade – the MSM, of course, is silent.

   1. There is more coming on tomorrow’s blog on that very subject. You and your communist friend might find it interesting. It has to do with the region and making America great again so it may be like throwing a frog into a bowl of 1 molar hydrochloric acid where your friend is concerned.

10. Even a king can stand in front of an adobe wall…….someday…..soon.

    1. Many have.

11. Off topic…sort of: Listening to The Five (while doing taxes…double-dipping the brain damage)…mostly background noise…but heard the discussion on activist judges and what The President needs to do. I am trying to ascertain how it is that a lower rung of the Government ladder has somehow managed to give themselves permission to demand the Upper Rung (Executive Branch) do ‘X’ or disallow ‘Y’? It’s bizarre, yet why is district judge overreach being given any credence? Just because some goofball judge speaks on something – Tim waltzing in where they are not welcome – doesn’t automatically mean The President has to listen or follow their pig stye-grade anarchy. Levin is about ready to blow yet another gasket over these activist District judges, and I trust his expertise on such matters so agree with him PDJT should tell them to go pound sand. If these judges can direct the Executive on this or that, then we have no Constitution operating.

    1. Federal Judges serve for life. They know that they’ll be overruled but their job is to slow the Trump Administration’s progress.

12. I’m sure you are ‘leading by example’, much to the dismay of the parents! Congrats to the grandson, that is great and something he will remember for a long time!

13. my other map-reading concern is that nobody I speak with understands that the NE corner of the Ukraine (Seredina-Buda, Sumy Oblast, Ukraine) is only 287 miles from Moscow (or the way I drive, no time at all), just about the same distance as between Corpus Christi and Waco.
    try as I might, I can no longer find any reference to the bio labs reportedly U.S. built along the Ukraine side of the border with Russia that were mentioned shortly after this recent conflagration began; were these real or the product of someone’s fervid imagination?

    1. There were at least two dozen installations. I can look for attribution to you when I have a moment. I have no idea what they produced. Victoria Jane Nuland (age 63), was an American diplomat who served as Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs from 2021 to 2024. A former member of the US Foreign Service, she served as Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs from 2013 to 2017 and the 18th U.S. ambassador to NATO from 2005 to 2008. She was heavily engaged in this activity and confirmed the “biolabs” in a filmed interview. Nuland was also one of the characters who briefed Z-Skyy before his meeting with President Trump.

14. Total Sidebar (slight vent as I wade thru a new batch of government thievery): The $#@! government bums have confiscated 18% of my [pittance returned money] SSA…and here I thought retirement would be simpler in tax prep. Hahahahah…jokes on me (not funny). How is ‘taking money from my 15 yo working self thru 64 years, then when I want it back tax it as income’ not massively criminal? Guessing ‘married filing jointly’ is being punished as those who believe marriage is anathema to a lively community. (Hurry up PDJT, get rid of the IRS and confiscatory taxation on people who have been productive members of society for 50+ years only to be punished for still being alive..and married. Retirement should be simpler, not another set of ridiculous hamstringing BS conjured up by those running America into the dirt while feathering their own nests. Thought we left The Motherland to get rid of this confiscatory garbage? Frosts my shorts.)

15. I doubt the blackmail materials are stored in any building which has any normal good-guy agents in them.

    .
    George Washington crushed the Whiskey Rebellion so paper currency would be a debt to Eastern establishment families, who would gain ownership of a controlling fraction of the GDP in ten years. Currency control works like gun control; the point of government giving itself a monopoly on money is to take away your agency produced by your money.
    .
    > so much dirt is in those files that the scandals will collapse governments and economies.
    .
    Governments, sure. But why economies? If rapists go to prison does that remove the oil from the ground or the crops from the field? I bravely offer to continue doing my productive job without the benefit of monsters who replace all the round wheels with square ones.

    1. “so paper currency would be a debt to Eastern establishment”
       I suppose that’s one way of looking at it.

       1. Simplified: fiat currency issued in sufficient numerical amount to exchange all transactions more liquid than one year, which is GDP. Bankers receive 2% interest a year. Banker’s interest comes out of total count of fiat currency. After ten years bankers own 2% * 10 years = 20% of fiat currency, which means bankers own a controlling interest in GDP. Now it no longer matters what the Constitution says, because owners are making decisions, not legislators. Hamilton was Washington’s secretary, so this wasn’t a surprise to Washington. You didn’t see anything in the anti-federalists letters about bankers owning country in 10 years. All the founding lawyers were all in on it. The anti-federalists letters were a smoke screen, a distraction.

16. Whisky rebellion might have had something to do with George owning a substantial distillery.
