Bombshell: Alex Acosta Reportedly Claimed Jeffrey Epstein "Belonged To Intelligence"
Authored by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
To appreciate the significance of what I’m about to share, you really need to go back and read yesterday’s post: The Jeffrey Epstein Rabbit Hole Goes a Lot Deeper Than You Think.
In that piece, I shared many lesser known, but extremely bizarre facts about Jeffrey Epstein and the people around him. I also noted that it appeared his real job was to run a blackmail operation to ensnare some of the most wealthy and powerful people on earth. I alluded to the possibility that he was collecting this priceless information on behalf of a third party, and then just today we learn the following via the Daily Beast:
It should be noted the reason I attach credibility to the above is based on who wrote it, Vicky Ward. She has an extensive history of digging into Epstein, and wrote one of the earliest profiles on him back in 2003. As she notes in today’s article:“Is the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]?” Acosta had been asked. Acosta had explained, breezily, apparently, that back in the day he’d had just one meeting on the Epstein case. He’d cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein’s attorneys because he had “been told” to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone,” he told his interviewers in the Trump transition, who evidently thought that was a sufficient answer and went ahead and hired Acosta. (The Labor Department had no comment when asked about this.)...
For almost two decades, for some nebulous reason, whether to do with ties to foreign intelligence, his billions of dollars, or his social connections, Epstein, whose alleged sexual sickness and horrific assaults on women without means or ability to protect themselves is well-known in his circle, remained untouchable.
Many people had assumed Epstein was untouchable merely because he had so much dirt on so many powerful people, but it increasingly looks far bigger than that. It appears he may have been untouchable because he was systematically collecting this information on behalf of an intelligence agency. If so, we need to find out precisely who he was working for.I spent many months on his trail in 2002 for Vanity Fair and discovered not only that he was not who he claimed to be professionally, but also that he had allegedly assaulted two young sisters, one of whom had been underage at the time. Very bravely, they were prepared to go on the record. They were afraid he’d use all his influence to discredit them—and their fear turned out to be legitimate.
As the article was being readied for publication, Epstein made a visit to the office of Vanity Fair’s then-editor, Graydon Carter, and suddenly the women and their allegations were removed from the article. “He’s sensitive about the young women,” Carter told me at the time. (Editor’s Note: Carter has previously denied this allegation.) He also mentioned he’d finagled a photograph of Epstein in a swimsuit out of the encounter. And there was also some feeble excuse about the article “being stronger as a business story.” (Epstein had also leaned heavily on my ex-husband’s uncle, Conrad Black, to try to exert his influence on me, which was particularly unwelcome, given that Black happened to be my ex-husband’s boss at the time.)
This should be the number one story in the country right now. Blackmail at this level is a genuine national security issue
I think it is possible that they want to hitch Trump to this Epstein affair. It will be interesting to see if Epstein is just a useful idiot to get at Trump. All the while totally ignoring the Clinton connection.
Friend of the Clintons or Trump’s pal? Media war erupts after Epstein’s arrest
Billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest on fresh sex trafficking charges has ignited a media war, with outlets on each side of the spectrum rushing to tie their political opponents to the notorious pedophile.www.rt.com
Looks like that's the game plan. Here's a post from reddit (I've seen many like this in the past few days):
Its the old "blame your enemies for what you are guilty of" game.
OMG!!!! Please don't tell me we're in for another tedious, never ending, bogus smear campaign about Trump being involved with Epstein . Surely the forces of entropy will be triumphant as the entire population of Americans keel over from devastating boredom.
As a manager or leader it is inevitable that we’ll want to add to our knowledge base, try to sell ideas, get people on board and even change the direction of our organization. One of the involved persons just might be your enemy. That’s my basic rationale for acting on Machiavelli’s instinct.
In the business setting, I refer to “enemy” as a person you have to interact with, someone who’s competing for your resources, who doesn’t follow through on his commitments, whom you don’t trust, with whom the “chemistry” isn’t there, or who disagrees with your perspective from the ground up. These are also people whom you’ll need in order to get your own personal and organizational objectives met. As both a manager and a consultant, I’ve found a number of people who fit in that same box. In short, I’ve found Machiavelli very useful for my own success.
But there are a number of exceedingly important reasons for keeping your enemies close:
1. You can learn a lot from people you dislike
2. You have to keep your enemies close to understand their perspective and interests
3. When your enemies are close, it’s easier for your allies to work with you.
Determining the motives of your enemy involves a significant amount of guesswork. One of the best ways to get to know that person is to listen to how he goes about persuading others. People want the world to be congruous with their expectations and in line with their predictions. So when they attempt to persuade others, they use tactics that would be persuasive to them. Observe them, listen to them and analyze what they say and how they say it. From that you can often figure out their interests and their values.
Finally, it needs to be said that you can’t keep your enemy close to you unless you know how to disagree agreeably, understand and share at least some of your enemy’s interests or values, are sometimes transparent with your differences and are willing to interact with that person in a social situation. In such settings it’s important to find out what that person wants that you can give them. Secondly, it’s just as important to figure out the resources you have to offer them in order that they’ll give you what you want. Don’t forget that some of the resources each of us has are information and contacts.
I think that if they don't succeed in using the Epstein crimes to knock out Trump, he will be assisted to suicide. They will not allow him to reveal openly the big fish.Another post from Reddit:
This guy has NO IDEA how deep the rabbit hole goes!
I think that if they don't succeed in using the Epstein crimes to knock out Trump, he will be assisted to suicide. They will not allow him to reveal openly the big fish.
In her lawsuit deposition, Roberts said she met billionaire
Donald Trump once at Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion and that
he was a “complete gentleman” and that she never saw him act
inappropriately. Trump turned down numerous invitations to
Epstein’s hedonistic private island and his Palm Beach home.
There is no evidence Trump did anything improper. “The one
time I visited his Palm Beach home, the swimming pool was
full of beautiful young girls, ” Trump told a member of his
Club Mar Lago “‘How nice,’ I thought, ‘he let the
neighborhood kids use his pool.’” Unlike the Clintons, Trump
cut Epstein and his underlings off the instant he heard about
the Palm Beach police investigation.
They might be hoping to pick and chose which people to 'out'.I think that if they don't succeed in using the Epstein crimes to knock out Trump, he will be assisted to suicide. They will not allow him to reveal openly the big fish.
