|content=Now go investigate the story! If he wasn’t an asset get the official denials. Discuss a redo of Church/Pike. If there is nothing to find, we deserve to know. Is it our damn country or not? Simple question. Is the press there to get the stories or to kill them? Get this over with!

|content=I’ve spent a lot of time on this. The story here is not [[Jeffrey Epstein|Epstein]] or [[Ghislaine Maxwell|Maxwell]]. It‘s the bizarre mission of our US press to misdirect us. The questions were always the same:

[[Jeffrey Epstein|Epstein]] 'madam' [[Ghislaine Maxwell]] 'is a foreign spy hiding in Israel'

|content=A) Can you the press seek an on-the-record official denial that [[Jeffrey Epstein|Epstein]] was operating/trafficking attached to US and/or foreign intelligence?

B) Can the press tell us where Ghislaine’s passports were last seen at a border?

C) Is [[Jeffrey Epstein|Epstein’s]] death a “message killing” to us all?

E) If the hedge fund currency trading never took place, was the source of [[Jeffrey Epstein|Epstein’s]] wealth the missing assets &amp; pensions of [[Robert Maxwell]]?

I have been on this early out of a love of the US &amp; Israel. You deserved to know that this is not some plot of CIA, “The Jews” or Mossad.

One way to view modern outrage is that our mobs are driving the cost of discussing off-narrative reality in public by driving *private* costs.
