was video of him doing the most horrible things that we know he has done.

We know The Apprentice movie will show him using the N word and R word (I think they show him calling his own son the R word.)

I suspect anyone who TODAY is saying they will support him will do so even if there was a video of him ordering the execution of thousands of innocent people.

on Trump and Epstein as well. We should be all over the networks connecting Pecker’s testimony to other coverups performed to protect Trump.

Ronan Farrow was chased off MSM after writing about it in 2019.

7. The Ghost of Roy Cohn
Wed Jun 5, 2024, 03:02 PM

by Paul David Collins, May 7th, 2007
(via Terry Melanson)

EXCERPT...

In an interview with former NYPD detective James Rothstein, this author discovered that such operations do exist and go far back into America’s secret history. Rothstein is no conspiracy theorist. He is a legend in American law enforcement and speaks from experience. Furthermore, he gave me two notable examples from his time as a detective. Rothstein had an opportunity to have a sit-down with infamous McCarthy committee counsel Roy Cohn. During this sit-down, Cohn admitted to Rothstein that he was part of a rather elaborate sexual blackmail operation that compromised politicians with child prostitutes (Rothstein, no pagination). Cohn told Rothstein that this operation was being carried out as part of the anticommunist crusade of the time (no pagination).

Rothstein also had an opportunity to speak to infamous Watergate burglar Frank Sturgis. During this conversation, Sturgis revealed one of the reasons for breaking into the Watergate. According to Sturgis, there was a “Pedophile Book” hidden away at the Democratic National Committee headquarters (no pagination). The book was supposed to have a list of pedophiles on the American political scene (no pagination). One can only imagine the power G. Gordon Liddy would have held over the government if he had such a book in his possession.

I asked Rothstein if Roy Cohn was a real anticommunist or just using the fear of communism to justify his sex ring. It seemed like a fair question. After all, Cohn had argued against homosexuals being schoolteachers when he himself was a homosexual. Perhaps Cohn’s hypocrisy extended to his anticommunism. Rothstein made it clear that Cohn was a genuine anticommunist (no pagination). Anticommunist sentiments aside, evidence suggests that the sex ring operation started by Cohn was used for more than fighting the threat of domestic communists. Fugitive ex-CIA officer Frank Terpil has claimed that sexual blackmailing operations directed by the CIA were intensive in Washington during the Watergate era (DeCamp 179). Terpil also asserts that his former partner, Ed Wilson, was coordinating one of these sexual blackmail operations (179). In a letter to author Jim Hougan, Terpil revealed Wilson’s modus operandi:

“Historically, one of Wilson’s Agency jobs was to subvert members of both houses [of Congress] by any means necessary…. Certain people could be easily coerced by living out their sexual fantasies in the flesh…. A remembrance of these occasions [was] permanently recorded via selected cameras…. The technicians in charge of filming… were TSD [Technical Services Division of the CIA]. The unwitting porno stars advanced in their political careers, some of [whom] may still be in office.” (Qtd. in DeCamp 179)

According to John DeCamp, a former Nebraska Senator and Vietnam War hero, Wilson’s operation was merely a continuation of the one set up by Cohn (179). When I asked James Rothstein if Palfrey’s outfit was a continuation of the sexual blackmail rings that began with Cohn, he answered in the affirmative (Rothstein, pagination). The NYPD veteran made it clear that Palfrey’s outfit could not exist in Washington unless it was a tool for the power elite and sinister factions of the intelligence community (no pagination). Somewhere in a Queens cemetery, the corpse of a high-powered attorney is smiling in his grave.

19. The Epstein-Barr Connection
Wed Jun 5, 2024, 05:17 PM
Jun 2024
Donald Barr, former AG Bill Barr's father, hired Jeffrey Epstein to teach at NYC prep school. At the time, Epstein was a 20-year old college drop-out "math wiz." Barr's father, Dalton School headmaster, was retired OSS trained to spot talent.



The Ties That Bind Jeffrey Epstein, William Barr & Donald Trump

Todd Neikirk
Hill Reporter, May 19, 2019

During Attorney General, William Barr’s confirmation hearing, he was mostly peppered with questions about how he would handle the Mueller Report. Senator Ben Sasse’s (R-NE) questioning, however, diverged from the pack. Sasse asked Barr about the lenient sentence given out to billionaire pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein. The future Attorney General told Sasse that he would look into the matter.

This, however, was not the first connection between Barr and his family and the disgraced pedophile. In 1973, Barr’s father Donald, the headmaster at Manhattan’s Dalton School, hired Epstein as a calculus and physics teacher.

While hiring Epstein, a noted mathematics genius, was not strange on its face, the hire was unusual for a number of reasons. Epstein had not earned a college degree as he dropped out of New York’s prestigious Cooper Union. The other odd circumstance was that the new teacher was only 20 years of age.

Apparently, the hire was a successful one. The New Yorker wrote in a 2003 profile on Epstein, “he was something of a Robin Williams–in–Dead Poets Society type of figure, wowing his high-school classes with passionate mathematical riffs.” Epstein’s mathematical skills caught the eye of Bear Stearns’ chairman, Alan “Ace” Greenberg, whose son attended the Dalton School. Greenberg hired Epstein as an options trader and the former teacher was able to amass a fortune.

"Could ruin people's lives"?

Gee, I wonder who those people (er, person) could be. Trump isn't noted for giving a shit about other people.

So dumb. He should have just said "yes", because we know he wouldn't do it. Now he has people speculating.

… and was amazed at how flustered Trump sounded in answering the question on the Epstein files. Quick, unequivocal affirmation on declassifying the “9/11” and “JFK” files, whatever that means; but hesitation and then rationalizing in answering whether he’d declassify the “Epstein files.”

17. THE SUSPICIOUS DEATH
Wed Jun 5, 2024, 04:27 PM
Jun 2024

It is still strange that during the Trump administration Epstein died under suspicious circumstances. Security cameras not operating. The guards napping and Epstein supposedly killing himself even though he had powerful friends and had secrets about people. After his death, when the FBI raided Epstein's Florida home, all of the computer equipment in the home was missing, so the evidence is gone, or is being used by someone else now.
