When I write about politics, libertarianism, economics, and finance, I like to keep a big picture view of things.  But with the Jeffrey Epstein story, I can’t help get into the weeds.

There are many past victims of Epstein and his fellow evildoers.  So even though this reads like a soap opera, I do want to acknowledge that we should not lose sight of those who were harmed.

I think this story is relevant for more than just an interesting story with a lot of conspiracy theories to go along with it.  Even if you believe the official establishment story, that in itself is still a conspiracy theory.

The amazing thing about this whole Epstein saga is that if you made a movie about it and showed it to someone who had no previous knowledge of the Epstein story, they wouldn’t believe it.  It would seem about as realistic as Jurassic Park.  At least with Jurassic Park, there is an outside possibility of technology being able to recreate dinosaurs.

I wrote about Epstein not long after he supposedly committed suicide.  I noted (repeating Dave Smith) that even if you believe the entire official narrative, it still shows vast corruption at the top.  The guy was a high-profile pedophile who was given a slap on the wrist.  And then when he is finally arrested a second time, the prison allows him to die in custody.

I have noted many other strange things about this case.  It is something like a soap opera, or maybe a Seinfeld episode, where everything seems to link together somehow.

Here is a list of the many crazy things about this story, many of which are stranger than fiction.

1. Bill Barr is the attorney general who acted outraged when Epstein was found dead. Barr worked for a law firm that once represented Epstein.  It was also reported that Barr’s father, Donald Barr, actually hired Epstein about 45 years ago.  Even though Epstein was a college dropout, he was hired as a high school teacher by Bill Barr’s father.  So when Barr says he wants to investigate the Epstein case, including where he got all of his money, maybe he needs to investigate his own father. Some reports since then say that Donald Barr left the high school before Epstein came on, but most reports still point to Barr having hired Epstein.  I think Barr is something of a deep state plant, which is why I don’t expect much more out of the Russia hoax.
2. Alexander Acosta was the prosecutor who gave Epstein the easy plea deal back in 2007/ 2008.  Acosta was recently pushed out as labor secretary after Epstein was arrested again in 2019.  Why didn’t anyone question Acosta during the confirmation hearings on this? There are reports that Acosta was told to give Epstein the easy plea deal by higher powers.  It is also noteworthy that Robert Mueller was head of the FBI at the time, and many suspect that he was involved in protecting Epstein.
3. Trump knew Epstein at one time.  He said good things about Epstein, but he also made a comment that he likes his women on the “younger side”.  This is why I doubt Trump was part of Epstein’s pedophile ring.  He wouldn’t have made those comments if he had been guilty of something similar himself.
4. Alan Dershowitz was on Epstein’s original defense team.  He is also suspected by many to have been a part of Epstein’s pedophile rign.
5. Ken Starr (the supposed investigator of Bill Clinton) was also on Epstein’s original defense team.  It is no surprise that Starr never uncovered anything relevant regarding the death of Vince Foster.
6. James Comey’s daughter had been named as part of the prosecution team in the second (recent) indictment.  Was this to keep control of things in case Epstein made it to trial alive?
7. Ghislaine Maxwell is thought to have been Epstein’s girlfriend and madam, arranging to get girls for Epstein.  She attended Chelsea Clinton’s wedding in 2010.
8. Ghislaine Maxwell’s whereabouts were unknown right after Epstein’s death. Someone finally spotted her at an In-N-Out restaurant in California.  She was reading a book titled “The Book of Honor: The Secret Lives and Deaths of CIA Operatives”.  Again, you couldn’t make this stuff up.  It is suspected by many that Epstein was a CIA man, which would explain how he got so much protection.
9. Flight logs show that Bill Clinton flew on Epstein’s private jet at least 26 times.  If Clinton was taking multiple trips to Epstein’s private island, I doubt it was to discuss real estate deals.
10. Sources report that there was a painting of Bill Clinton in a blue dress and high heels in Epstein’s New York house.  That is just bizarre.

Isn’t it amazing how all of these big players seem to tie into the story?  It certainly isn’t clear about everything that went down, but it does show just how utterly criminal certain parts of the ruling class are.  I already know of the corruption and criminality just based on the policies of war, starvation (sanctions), and theft.  But this Epstein story should really show the common person what kind of system they are living under.

I don’t expect everyone to all of a sudden denounce the state root and branch.  But when these types of cases happen, and a majority of people don’t buy the official narrative, it is positive for liberty in the long run.  It delegitimizes the state.
