In my last piece I dived into the Epstein outrage as deeply as I have yet, or rather as broadly - I tried to provide a range of examples of Jeffrey cope. Two of those were Grayzone’s Max and Aaron, at an earlier point in this rapidly-evolving story, and Tucker presenting the true history according to Darryl, the man who just asks questions.
I only included the opening of Tucker’s discussion with pop history buff Darryl Cooper for two purposes: to show the very real questions about the factual accuracy of the history he provides, and to show how his emphasis, what to include and what not to include, shapes the story. On the latter, that means directing it toward intelligence, which means the DC blob (or swamp in Trumpian terms) and the foreign country of Israel (and also the UK to some extent), and away from the matter of domestic ethnicity (da Jooz).
Having established that, there are some very interesting moments further into that discussion (okay, I did pick it up again, contrary to what I said I would). But before I get to that, here is a bit of Cooper’s wiki - I really knew nothing about him, beyond talk of the Churchill moment thing:
In collaboration with retired Navy SEAL Jocko Willink, Cooper also co-hosts The Unraveling podcast. This series examines connections between historical events and contemporary issues including the Russo-Ukrainian War. In July of 2025, Cooper started a podcast entitled Provoked with libertarian author and activist Scott Horton. Episodes to date have focussed on their shared critique of the American Empire and on the Epstein scandal.
Here is the first time I addressed Horton, nearly three years ago in the first month of doing this blog, the first of three articles which concentrated on a piece he’d written on the history leading up to the war in Ukraine, part of his work that eventually resulted in his book. The bottom line on that is the way he Jew-cleansed that history, part of that being the extraction of neoconservatism from the story.
Scott Horton and the Progressive-Libertarian Alliance – Part One
Last week deconstructing progressive Kim Iversen had radio host Scott Horton on her show to talk about the middle east wars as a kind of 9/11 anniversary special. I didn’t really remember who Horton is, although I was pretty sure I’d encountered him before in my travels around the internet over the last decade or so. From some quick searches I was remin…
The third part of that series is largely built on a discussion between Horton and fellow libertarian Ryan Dawson, with the Jewish Question something always kind of hovering in the background (Dawson is significantly JQ-aware, and Horton’s wife is Jewish, so a conflict of interest).
Anyway, I draw two thing from this - Cooper is a right-winger of some sort, perhaps libertarianish, and his JQ-awareness is up in the air, at least to me. It’s unclear to me how much neo-Bircher thinking has polluted his worldview, but likely some.
We join about 15 minutes after the clip in my last piece, still on the Bear’s early adult background:
Coop starts with just asking questions, apparently his brand. And they are asking the right question: who runs the world? The problem is that the question as framed by Tuck eliminates one answer, because that answer would obviously be antisemitic. Coop gets to the right question framed correctly - how does power really operate?
His thumbnail on the CIA in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s is unfortunately incomplete, nothing about Team B and the Safari Club (which Adnan Khashoggi owned, btw), and playing down the change when Casey/Bush took over, returning the deep state to full power. Instead he talks about the emergence of the system we have now, citing Ukraine and the NED, which really means neoconservatism, and that did arrive with Reagan. But he throws in USAID, which was in part a CIA front, surely because that's been so demonized by the bullDoGEr. The NED quote he refers to was said by Allen Weinstein, one of the two Jews at the top of the NED from the beginning; the other was Carl Gershman.
The way that he describes CIA assets is largely correct, and the one person who I think personifies that was George HW Bush, who was, according to people like Russ Baker, author of Family of Secrets, lifetime CIA from the point he emerged from the CIA’s then-nest of Skull ‘n’ Bones at Yale. That doesn’t mean he had a title, office and pay grade, it just means he was involved in certain covert aspects of deep state control and manipulation, he was part of a network. What Coop doesn’t do is to provide any real evidence that Epstein falls into that category. At this point his tie is the tenuous one of Barr Sr and the OSS during WWII.
So he asks the wrong question, where is the line between the CIA and MI6, when he should have asked, where is the line between the CIA and the deep state, and in Epstein’s case the Jewish faction of the deep state. His framing works in his Epstein narrative, because that narrative functions to connect Epstein to both the CIA and the Mossad, his main Mossad linkage being Robert Maxwell, who was British (eventually) and had ties to MI6 as well. So there’s clearly a chicken-or-egg thing going on here regarding narrative construction.
In there we also have the mention of Douglas Leese, who came up earlier and is worth looking at more closely. Here is where Coop intro’ed him earlier, transitioning from Epstein working at Ace Greenberg’s Bear Sterns - just as a reminder, Greenberg being one of the four Jewish faces on the Mt. Rushmore of the 2008 financial crash disaster, the others being Dick Fuld, Jamie Dimon and Lloyd Blankfein:
There’s one important piece missing in this story, and that’s Steven Hoffenberg. Leese is a shadowy guy who doesn’t even have a wiki, likely because there’s so little known about him, from all indications. But Hoffenberg does have one, and here is where Epstein and Leese come into it:
In 1987, he met Jeffrey Epstein through a British defense contractor named Douglas Leese (died 2011), who Hoffenberg claimed was an arms dealer. Leese was, with Saudi Adnan Khashoggi and Prince Bandar bin Sultan Al Saud, architect in the billion dollar Al-Yamamah arms deal, Britain's biggest arms deal ever concluded, earning the prime contractor, BAE Systems, at least £43 billion in revenue between 1985 and 2007. Leese told Hoffenberg about Epstein: "The guy's a genius, he's great at selling securities. And he has no moral compass." Hoffenberg hired Epstein about 1987 and 1993 to help with the Towers Financial Corporation, paid him $25,000 a month and gave him a $2 million loan in 1988 that Epstein would never have to pay back.
Here is more from that unreliably-reliable source:
Steven Jude Hoffenberg (January 12, 1945 – August 2022) was an American businessman and fraudster. He was the founder, CEO, president, and chairman of Towers Financial Corporation, a debt collection agency, which was later discovered to be a Ponzi scheme. In 1993, he rescued the New York Post from bankruptcy, and briefly owned the paper. Towers Financial collapsed in 1993, and in 1995 Hoffenberg pleaded guilty to bilking investors out of $475 million. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison (serving 18 years), plus a $1 million fine and $463 million in restitution. The U.S. SEC considered his financial crimes to be "one of the largest Ponzi schemes in history".
Hoffenberg was born in Brooklyn, New York to a Jewish family on January 12, 1945, along with a twin brother, Martin.
Okay, so another Brooklyn Jew who pulled off a massive Ponzi scheme, a financial fraudster of epic proportions.
More from his wiki:
Hoffenberg set Epstein up in offices in the Villard Houses. They unsuccessfully tried to take over Pan Am in a corporate raid with Towers Financial as their raiding vessel. Their bid failed, in part because of the 1988 terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, which ultimately contributed to the airline's bankruptcy. A similar unsuccessful bid in 1988 was made to take over Emery Air Freight Corp.
During this period, Hoffenberg and Epstein worked closely together and traveled everywhere on Hoffenberg's private jet. Hoffenberg began using Towers Financial funds to pay off earlier investors and pay for a lavish lifestyle that included a Locust Valley, New York, Long Island mansion, as well as homes on Sutton Place (in Manhattan) and in Florida, and a number of cars and planes.
In court documents, Hoffenberg claimed that Epstein was intimately involved in the Ponzi scheme. Epstein left Towers Financial before it collapsed and was never charged for being involved with the massive investor fraud committed.
The story of Emery is funny to me, because 1988 was the year I started working for AIG and then Emery became my account after it was acquired by Consolidated Freightways, I think the following year. I don’t know nearly enough about this Towers business to have an opinion about Epstein being criminally involved at the core of it, but one has to recognize that someone like Epstein with his high wealth and low reputation would make a very nice target for someone like Hoffenberg after the fact.
This is what Epstein’s wiki has to say about this period:
During this period, one of Epstein's clients was the Saudi Arabian businessman Adnan Khashoggi, who was the middleman in transferring American weapons from Israel to Iran as part of the Iran–Contra affair in the 1980s. Khashoggi was one of several defense contractors that he knew. In the mid-1980s, Epstein traveled multiple times between the United States, Europe, and the Middle East. While in London, Epstein met Steven Hoffenberg. They had been introduced through Douglas Leese, a defense contractor, and John Mitchell, the former U.S. Attorney General.
The source on that meeting was the Vicky Ward 2003 Vanity Fair article on Epstein, which says this:
Hoffenberg and Epstein had much in common. Both were smart and obsessed with making money. Both were from Brooklyn. According to Hoffenberg, the two men were introduced by Douglas Leese, a defense contractor. Epstein has said they were introduced by John Mitchell, the late attorney general.
What she leaves out there is that both were sleazebag Jews. But this has them telling different stories, which suggests there may have been lying involved. And John Mitchell? How did Epstein know Mitchell?? Perhaps it was actually Hoffenberger who introduced Epstein to Leese? And another question: is Leese Jewish? Just asking questions…
Here is young Jeffrey at age 27, so in 1980, the beginning of what was a crazy decade for the suit-and-tie crowd, particularly in the financial industry. The best film treatment of that era perhaps is Ollie Stone’s Wall Street, making Gordon Gekko and his “greed is good” motto so iconic.
But it’s a different film I’m reminded of by the photo…
Yes, Patrick Bateman, another guy with “no moral compass”.
In that first clip there was the mention of the infamous Acosta quote about Epstein “belonging to intelligence”, so an aside on that, from last week’s raucous debate between Cigaar Enjeti and Michael Tracey on Rising Points:
Cooper does go into that in more detail much later on, saying Tracey’s Acosta on-the-record denial was actually a non-denial denial, parsing Acosta’s statement very carefully. But the point is we do not know what Acosta actually said, or even really what it means if he indeed did say that. That kind of gets us back to what Walter Kirn was saying in one of the clips in my last piece.
Later Cooper goes deeper into Khashoggi, and we’re back to Leese making intros once again:
So again we have the mystery of how Epstein met Leese, which is solved if it was via Hoffenberg. Coop’s guess is that it was via Epstein’s Bear Sterns clients, which at this point I have to assume were disproportionately Jewish. Which gets to an answer to the question Cooper exasperatedly asks toward the end - Epstein was operating at the center of Jewish financial and political power, that power operated directly under the surface of the public state, the elected government, and so those things simply intersect.
As for the Wall St. Jew Lutnick, here is how Grayzone handled the optics of that matter in their Livestream last week:
I don’t know that I’d characterize Lutnick as a top Clinton donor, he gave the campaign $2700 in 2015, which might have been the individual limit then (it was $2800 in 2020 and is now $3300), but I don’t find him or Cantor Fitzgerald among their listed top donors in that campaign. And you don’t see him here:
The bigger question is, who were those people at the Clinton fundraiser at his house, and who were the people at his Trump fundraiser last year in his house in the Hamptons? Ticket prices were $25k, and $50k if you wanted a photo with the Donald. As for the Epstein association, here is what his wiki says:
In 1998, Lutnick purchased a Manhattan property at 11 East 71st Street, behind the Henry Clay Frick House, from the Comet Trust. The townhouse was previously owned by an entity associated with businessman Les Wexner and Jeffrey Epstein, a financier and child sex offender.
Looking at that property using Google Earth streetview, it seems like he was actually across the street from the palacial Epstein mansion, but maybe just a technicality...
Further on Cooper gets to Robert Maxwell, and an interesting aside on ethno-irrelevance:
There he ties Jews to Israel, which in itself is kind of ballsy in the 21st century where dual-loyalty is an antisemitic trope. But more interesting to me was his mention of “Russian Americans spying for Russia”; since these are historical cases, one might assume he means ex-Soviets of any nationality and the Soviet Union. Which gets us to Ashkenazi Jews with roots in the Pale spying for the USSR. Remember the ethnic character of perhaps the most notorious spy case in modern American history (setting Benedict Arnold aside) was the Rosenberg case:
The only other mention is the Chinese, so what are we really talking about here? Why is this officially out of bounds even in the Pentagon? Remember most of Cooper’s military career was during the Bush administration, and remember who was running the Pentagon then, in particular what Larry Wilkerson was saying in the clips included in my last piece.
Since we’re at that point, the identifying of the ethnicity of covert operatives, here is an image I used in my first piece on Whitney Web here in November 2022, on her Epstein book(s). That’s from one of the articles she had written on Epstein, this one on the Mega Group, and it’s only a small portion of that long article.
There are ten uses of the word “Jewish” there, and the article contains the word “Jew” in some form 23 times. In the last piece I did on Web, early last year, I was looking at an article she had written focusing on Les Wexner and his connections to Jamie Dimon, who I just mentioned as one of those Mt. Rushmore ethno-faces. In that long article she used the word “Jew” zero times, and my question was, how do you go from 23 to 0? Seemed intentional.
Here is where, more than an hour into this discussion, Coop gets to Hoffenberg:
Coop says Leese made the intro, and not Mitchell as Epstein has apparently said, according to Ward in the article he cites. He says she ignored that stuff in her 2003 VF article, although I just quote the intro paragraph; she did refer to him as “a defense contractor”.
He says Ward was interested in the sex stuff, but that article, which was in the society section of the magazine, was mostly about his financial dealings; here is the paragraph where she gets deepest into the girls:
Epstein is known about town as a man who loves women—lots of them, mostly young. Model types have been heard saying they are full of gratitude to Epstein for flying them around, and he is a familiar face to many of the Victoria’s Secret girls. One young woman recalls being summoned by Ghislaine Maxwell to a concert at Epstein’s town house, where the women seemed to outnumber the men by far. “These were not women you’d see at Upper East Side dinners,” the woman recalls. “Many seemed foreign and dressed a little bizarrely.” This same guest also attended a cocktail party thrown by Maxwell that Prince Andrew attended, which was filled, she says, with young Russian models. “Some of the guests were horrified,” the woman says.
On the other hand, the article is replete with Jewish connections, a bit like that Webb piece. Here it fills out the connection between Dalton School and Bear Sterns:
He was good at mathematics, and in his early 20s he got a job teaching physics and math at Dalton, the elite Manhattan private school. While there he began tutoring the son of Bear Stearns chairman Ace Greenberg and was friendly with a daughter of Greenberg’s. Soon he went to Bear Stearns, where, under the mentorship of both Greenberg and current Bear Stearns C.E.O. James Cayne, he did well enough to become a limited partner—a rung beneath full partner. He abruptly departed in 1981 because, he has said, he wanted to run his own business.
So we no longer have to wonder how he got into Bear Sterns. How he left is also interesting:
Several of Epstein’s Bear Stearns contemporaries recall that Epstein left the company very suddenly. Within the company there were rumors also that he was involved in a technical infringement, and it was thought that the executive committee asked that he resign after his two supporters, Ace Greenberg and Jimmy Cayne, were outnumbered. Greenberg says he can’t recall this; Cayne denies it happened, and Epstein has denied it as well. “Jeffrey Epstein left Bear Stearns of his own volition,” says Cayne. “It was never suggested that he leave by any member of management, and management never looked into any improprieties by him. Jeffrey said specifically, ‘I don’t want to work for anybody else. I want to work for myself.’”…
In his S.E.C. testimony, given on April 1, 1981, Epstein claimed that he had found “offensive” the way Bear Stearns management had handled a disciplinary action following its discovery that he had committed a possible “Reg D” violation—evidently he had lent money to his closest friend. (In the 1989 deposition he said that he’d lent approximately $20,000 to Warren Eisenstein, to buy stock.) Such an action could have been considered improper, although Epstein claimed he had not realized this until afterward.
I think we can assume his best friend Eisenstein is Jewish. As for his exit from his Hoffenberg Towers relationship, Coop frames that around his “playing the box”, which involved theft from clients and the threat of blackmail. Me, I’m not buying that without much more evidence, in part because blackmail is a very dangerous game when it involves very wealthy people and huge amounts of money; these people can play hardball too.
The line also seems to mirror the most famous Ponzi artist of our times, Bernie Madoff, also a Brooklyn-born Jew. What was said about him was that what was worst of all was that he swindled his own people, which I touched on in this piece:
MEN's Shorts: Schemesaurus Lex
A few days before Christmas I posted a piece here I called Renée Redux: The DiResta Deception, and in the intro to that I mentioned a Youtube channel called Leather Apron Club, who had published a video concluding that 42% Joe Rogan’s political guests over the life of his podcast have been Jews. Renée DiResta had been one of those political guests, but …
Somewhere while looking around on Hoffenberg I read the line, “Before Bernie Madoff there was Steven Hoffenberg”, or something like that. Perhaps Cooper and others are using Madoff as a blueprint to apply backward in time.
At the end we have Hoffenberg doing 18 years - of a 20-year sentence. If you do 90% of your stretch for white collar crime there’s something going on there, but who knows what it is.
At the end we see Coop wanting to move on to the juicy sex stuff, but Tuck wants to talk about Les Wexner, acting like he’s not quite sure who Wexner is. I note this just as part of the dynamics of this discussion, the way this dance is conducted. I rejoin the discussion about 15 minutes later:
After finishing up the Wexner co-ethnic question, Tucker turns the discussion to Leon Black. Again it’s “playing the box” by Coop, the same as Wexner and Hoffenberg. Again at the end he tries to exit the financial stuff by turning to the sex stuff.
So who is Leon Black?
Leon David Black (born July 31, 1951) is an American private equity investor. He is the former CEO of Apollo Global Management, which he co-founded in 1990 with Marc Rowan and Josh Harris… Black is a son of Eli M. Black (1921–1975), a Jewish businessman who emigrated from Poland as a child (surname, "Blachowitz") and was the chairman and later majority owner of the United Brands Company. His mother, Shirley Lubell (sister of Tulsa oil executive Benedict I. Lubell) was an artist. In 1975, his father killed himself at age 53.
So who were his partners?
Rowan was born in 1962 to a Jewish family. He was raised on Long Island, New York. He moved with his family to Hollywood, Florida where he attended high school, traveling between New York. His father worked in auto-leasing. His mother Barbara was a teacher and a trained concert pianist. He has one sister, Andrea. His grandfather, Emanuel Stein, was an economics professor at New York University. Many of his wider family worked as public interest lawyers.
Harris' paternal and maternal grandparents immigrated to the U.S. from Russian territories in the early 20th century. His father Jacob was an orthodontist and his mother Sylvia was a schoolteacher; he has a younger brother named Gabe. Harris is Jewish and practices Reform Judaism, having his bar mitzvah in 1977 at the Washington Hebrew Congregation. He spent three weeks working in Yahel, a Reform kibbutz in Israel, on a NFTY-sponsored trip in high school. He married Marjorie Harris (née Rubin) in 1995.
Harris is probably best-known for his pro sports involvement, he and partner and Blackstone senior executive David Blitzer, also Jewish, owning the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Devils.
Regarding Black’s father, United Brands Company is probably best known under its prior name, United Fruit Co. and the brand Chiquita. From his wiki:
Born Elihu Menashe Blachowicz as the youngest of three children to Chaje Schulson and Benzion “Benjamin” Blachowicz in Lublin, Poland, he immigrated to the United States along with his mother and sisters via the SS Republic on February 19, 1925, to join their father in New York City. The Yiddish-speaking family lived in Lower East Side, where his father worked as a shohet. He attended Yeshiva University, and graduated at the top of his class in 1940. He also received training to be an Orthodox Jewish rabbi and served as the rabbi of a congregation in Woodmere, New York for three and a half years prior to entering business. Black's business career began in investment banking with Lehman Brothers…
Lehman Brothers is of course one of the most famous Jewish banking dynasties, which ended under Dick Fuld in 2008. As for his tenure and demise:
But Black soon discovered that United Fruit had far less capital than he had believed. The company soon became crippled with debt. The company's losses were exacerbated by Hurricane Fifi in 1974, which destroyed many of its banana plantations in Honduras. In 1974, United Brands reported losses of $40 million for the first three quarters of the year. Black struggled to keep the company solvent, and in December United Brands announced that it was selling its interest in Foster Grant, Inc. for $70 million.
On February 3, 1975, Black went to his office on the forty-fourth floor of the Pan Am Building in Manhattan. At about 8:00 a.m., he fell to his death, landing on the northbound Park Avenue Viaduct beside motorists. Homicide detectives concluded that the quarter-inch glass window was broken with Black's attaché case and classified his death a suicide. A few weeks later the Securities and Exchange Commission uncovered a $1.25 million bribe that United Brands paid to Honduran president Oswaldo López Arellano under authorization by Black in order to obtain a reduction of taxes on banana exports.
After Black's death, Seymour Milstein and Paul Milstein bought into United Fruit.
The Milstein brothers are of course Jews from New York, their father an immigrant from Ukraine.
But back to Leon Black, we have another co-ethnic billionaire involved with Epstein, and we’re supposed to believe he stole millions from Black and then blackmailed him to keep it all suppressed. And this is the third high-profile case of this being pushed on us by Cooper in this discussion. And all cases of people with serious money and serious intra-ethnic connections, including Wexner and the Mega Group.
Does this pass the smell test? It doesn’t to me. Not at all.
At this point it goes into the sex stuff, which doesn’t really interest me so much, before it gets back to an aspect that I will cover at the end. But flipping over to the left side of this matter and Grayzone, I’ll now look at how they’re managing l’affaire Epstein:
After Max starts out by detailing various Judeo-Zionist connections, he flips to Tuck at TPUSA going on about “intelligence”, and jumps in to point out Donald Barr who was OSS more than 80 years ago. Tuck throws in JFK to appeal to the neo-Bircher side of MAGA, which gets a laugh out of Max; later he talks of the CIA as a secret government.
Aaron doesn’t like the ethno-operator Epstein being the conduit for anti-genocide awareness to infect MAGA, but he’ll take it anyway. But, like Tracey, he’s not convinced on the intelligence narrative (hooray!), but only as that applies to Israel and Mossad (booo!).
His conclusion reflects the post-progressive paradigm, that no matter what you do you have to criticize the Dems as much or more than the “oppositional” MAGA GOP. So he compares the party establishment to MAGA, even though its Great Leader is all in on Israel, MAGA was all in on his bombing of Iran, younger Dems led younger Republicans 71% to 50% on Israel criticism back in March, older Dems absolutely crushed the older GOP in that polling (66% to 23%), and apparently one Thomas Massie equals an order of magnitude more Ro Khannas in congress. And then there’s Zohran.
Then Anya jumps in to play the Israel manipulation card, and expresses perplexity on who it could be if it’s not “a foreign nation”, even though Max had kinda suggested what I’m suggesting. Not a great start overall.
Next Anya gives Charlie Kirk a full-fisted colonoscopy:
I knew nothing about Kirk, he’s just a guy who I know of because other people talk about him, and he just seemed like another charlatan making his fame and fortune riding the wave of Trump oppositionalism. So it was interesting to hear about the Horowitz business, and to see how Zio-influenced he at least was back when Ben Shapiro was kind of still the cool kids’ rabbi.
And GZ is actually spinning Nick and the Naziettes in a rather positive direction… which would be hard not to do when Kirk is openly practicing Liberty denial. Now it seems like he’s retreated to a vague position only dedicated to protecting his Great Leader, and abandoning control over the larger agenda. It must kinda suck to be someone having taken Jew money right now.
Max tries to convert AIPAC dollars into shekels, but Anya poses the real question here, Mossad or American Jewish billionaires, albeit Zionist? I stand and applaud. But Max tries to make them Mossad, which is kind of like making the Jew Donald Barr the CIA in the ‘70s because he was OSS during WWII.
Then Max tells a story he’s told before, his friend’s friend doing what Cooper described, about what it means to be intelligence, what it means to be Mossad. Anya crosses the divide by talking about Ackman’s dual loyalty, which doesn’t take much of a leap to apply to politics in general and not just Israel and the Zionist impulse. You make a shit-ton of money, in part through ethnic connections, and then you return that favor by imposing your Judeo-defined will on the nation via its politics.
In my last piece I wondered about what this moment would look like had Matt Gaetz been AG instead of Blondi, and here they go down that Florida panhandle backroad:
I think we can assume Joel Greenberg is a Jew. What was hilarious was when Max says the spy in Iran was Bob Levinson (also clearly Jewish) and Anya asks if he was spying for the US or for Israel, and Max freezes before he replies, “yeah…” 😆
This story suggests legacy politician-in-waiting Matt has been under the blue thumb his whole adult life, that thumbprint clipped his ambitions, and now he’s kinda pissed. The first time I featured Gaetz here was in a clip which suggested he had an understanding of the nexus of war, neoconservatism and Jewish campaign donations that you didn’t often hear from sitting politicians. Well, he ain’t sitting no more…
One last piece of this discussion, before Anya exited:
Again, we hear Anya echoing what Max said earlier, overplaying the MAGA youth rebellion basically because Charlie didn’t excommunicate the rebels from his event while matters were moving so quickly leading up to it. That would have been like executing a slow roll in a fully packed 747. It was a situation where Charlie just had to suck it up and hope for the best.
The battle over the heart of the Trumpian GOP won’t happen in earnest until after the 2026 midterm and the magnitude of that likely disaster is known. But before that it now seems like there is some at least remote possibility that this all could come crashing down before next year, if this moves along toward greater revelations in a Watergate-like manner. There impeachment was depending on getting a few Republicans in Judiciary to go along with the Dems to make it visibly non-partisan, but now they need to get a few just to make it a majority, and at this moment that doesn’t seem impossible. Especially considering the element that would love to see Shady in the Big Chair, the tech bros and others who want incumbency advantage in 2028 and not an open election, including establishment Republicans. The lesson of 2000, 2008, 2016 and 2024 is that the ruling party loses open elections.
After Anya is done with her appreciated contribution, Aaron reinforces Jewish billionaire influence, which is kind of amazing in itself. Then he makes a rather clunky connection of fake Russiagate versus not-so-fake Jeffreygate. Russiagate was a multi-headed monster, criticizing Putin as much as Trump, building the new cold war dynamic in anticipation of perpetuating hot war conflict, but also a way to attack the rising predominantly-rightwing alternative media.
My Russiagate moment happened in late November 2016 with PropOrNot, the anonymous website promoted by the Washington Post as legitimate. That website included a sample list of propaganda sites:
Of course Alex Jones was at the top of the list, but note that they designate two each as right-wing and left-wing, for partisan balance. One right-wing is the Ron Paul Institute, which is overtly libertarian and covertly neo-Bircher, and I assumed the same about the other, Ending the Fed. But I’m wrong - here is a piece of the wiki on fake news websites:
Note the Russia stuff below that - the IRA’s guy was the Jew Prigozhin, who I addressed years later in this piece after he went rogue against his “close associate”:
MEN's Shorts: Jew Coup Number Two?
Let me make this perfectly clear from the start - I have very limited knowledge about and almost no real opinion on what has happened in Russia in the last week. That said, the speculative narrative-building I’ve seen so far is interesting, and also quite consistent with my view of the undercurrents in the lands of the former Soviet Union over the last …
So Russiagate was a multi-pronged attack, and in my view clearly a Jewish operation. The Epstein response of course isn’t, but what it really boils down to is an attack on the Dems as the establishment using a story that they don’t even really understand, and the faces on that are the Bills, Clinton and Gates. Which gets us back to Tuck the Fuck and Coop, who nearly two hours into this is going on about pedophilia:
Cooper claims molestation of little kids is number one on the disgusting list universally, but if you went out on the streets in Brooklyn and started asking people, it wouldn’t take long before someone said Holocaust denial. Seriously. And with Epstein we’re really talking about pederasty much more than pedophilia.
Then Tuck makes an observation about Epstein that he ironically puts in Marxist terms, right down to the ruling class and prols. But think about what I said about Barr’s science fiction book in my last piece, which absolutely mirrors what Tucker is talking about - is it generic ruling class vs the prols, or is it Jewish ruling class vs the goyim? Think about the Jewish oligarch Jacob Schiff over a century ago and his clear concern for poor Jews living in the shtetl of the Russian Empire, enough to have gone to war against the czar.
And when he says they don’t care about the fentanyl-addicted they will never meet, that is the absolute opposite of an under-age girl one is having sex with face-to-face, there is no “out of sight, out of mind” excuse operating there.
Coop mentions two other Epstein researchers, Ryan Dawson by name, who has done some great work, and Whitney Webb by implication, who I’ve already talked about here. As I said at the beginning, Dawson is a libertarian, and a true left-hater at that; he surely wants no part of any Progressive-Libertarian Alliance, because he won’t just set aside something huge like economics. He’s also quite narcissism-inclined, in my view, and so I can guess what drove that implied criticism of Webb as a plagiarist. Not that I’m particularly a fan of hers either.
Where this comes into play is a few minutes later:
So two hours into this and we see how it’s used by these guys politically - that was painful, long enough to run my speaker out of juice, but this part of the discussion, built around Tony Podesta, continues on for another 8-10 minutes. And it’s all an attack on the Democrats, using Pizzagate and the Podestas, a classic piece of neo-Bircherism, as the vehicle. It’s a kind of sideways assault, but that’s because you can’t take this Epstein story from proposition to evidence to conclusion and make it a condemnation of Democrats and Democrats only. It’s not that kind of story, and that’s obvious. But Tucker and Cooper want to remind their audience who is the real evil in DC, even though the actual Epstein story points elsewhere.
And I won’t even get into how fake Tucker’s horrified reaction seems.
The reason this discussion even took place was without any doubt at all because Trump, Bondi & Co. turned on his more neo-Bircher elements of MAGA by a full 180 degrees on Epsteinism. And yet when it comes to summing up the matter it’s an attack on Democrats as satanists, the kind of thing I’m sure Dawson would absolutely applaud. Even though he has gone much farther than I assume these two have down the road on antisemitism or JQ-awareness, you choose your term.
Intelligence and evil Clinton/Biden Dems, the two great crime families, it’s the same story as the censorship-industrial complex paradigm so embraced by the Trumptard right in 2023. And just like that one, it’s wrong, because the people constructing the narrative have busily erased the Jew even as they talk about Jews, named or not.
So on the faux-oppositional right side of the aisle we have a tale of CIAs, kosher and terefah (non), but really about a sex fiend who’s also a master thief and blackmailer. And that was all for his own interests! What’s not clear is what he’s actually done for these intelligence agencies, besides bringing them embarrassment. I guess that’s something that doesn’t even need to be said. And certainly not when it comes to Trump, who came up so briefly a few times. No, it’s the Dems who have the satanic predisposition to be taken in by this guy, if Tony Podesta is any example.
This is the taking of a position on the oppositional right that, while it doesn’t condemn Trump for his actions and what they might say, it holds the line on this narrative that shouldn’t have ever gotten to this point. In other words, it steers a course between condemning Trump as a possibly-guilty turncoat and looking like one of the idiots trying to bury the story in front of their Epstein-obsessed fanboys. No one asked for this.
On the other side it’s progress, but that is slow and uneven. There is no issue with preserving the Trump mystique and pleasing fanboys, rather the tension lies between telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and triggering the next Holocaust. No one asked for that either.
What I can say is that Zohfrey Mamdapstein has acted as accelerant poured on this slow burn that has been the revealing aspect of our 21st century world post-10/7. My guess is that in addition to yet more Jeffreygate I’ll get back to an angle or two on Zohranmania in my next piece, I have some ideas...
