I’m a Superstitious Man

Guest Post by Ben Hunt

I’m a superstitious man, and if some unlucky accident should befall him — if he should get shot in the head by a police officer, or if he should hang himself in his jail cell, or if he’s struck by a bolt of lightning — then I’m going to blame some of the people in this room.

Vito Corleone, “The Godfather” (1972)


Same.

Vito Corleone was speaking of his son, Michael, and these were some of the people he intended to blame for an “unlucky accident”.

I’m speaking of a monster, Jeffrey Epstein, and these are some of the people I intend to blame for this “unlucky accident”.

So … I want to be careful with what I am saying and what I am not saying.

I am NOT saying that Epstein was murdered, and I am certainly not saying that he was murdered on the orders of anyone in this picture.

Well, certainly not by Melania or whatever Playboy model Bill was boffing at the time.

JK! JK! I really and truly am not accusing Trump or Clinton of having anything to do with Epstein’s untimely demise, not even in a “who will rid me of this troublesome priest” sort of way.

What I am saying is that sociopathic oligarchs – of which club I consider Donald Trump, Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew to be charter members – are the necessary and sufficient conditions of the specific evil that was Jeffrey Epstein as well as the more general evil of sexual predation of children.

What I am saying is that Epstein’s direct testimony – AND ONLY EPSTEIN’S DIRECT TESTIMONY – had the potential to create a Common Knowledge moment like the one that destroyed Harvey Weinstein through the direct testimony of Rose McGowan.

What I am saying is that Epstein’s direct testimony – AND ONLY EPSTEIN’S DIRECT TESTIMONY – had the potential to create a Common Knowledge moment that could bring down – not just specific sociopathic oligarchs like Mob Boss Donald or Mob Boss Bill or Mob Boss Andrew if they were the specific targets of that testimony – but the entire Mob system of sociopathic oligarchy.

Jeffrey Epstein was the Missionary to bring down the monsters behind the monster, to bring down the SYSTEM of monsters.

Jeffrey Epstein’s books and records are not.

The individual voices of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims are not.

And that’s what makes me angriest of all.

That while the individual victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes will maybe (maybe!) get some smattering of “justice” and recompense from the show trial of a monster’s estate, there will be no Justice served against the monsters behind the monster, that the Mob system of sociopathic oligarchy that CREATED this Jeffrey Epstein and the next Jeffrey Epstein and the next and the next will continue unabated. Untouched. Golden.

“Yay, justice!”

What I am saying is that there are enormous vested interests spread across multiple avenues of violence and power that will not allow that Mob system of sociopathic oligarchy to collapse on a single point of failure like Epstein’s direct testimony.

And so it didn’t.

And so Jeffrey Epstein is dead, victim of an “unlucky accident”.

Was it murder? Was it suicide?

I’m a superstitious man. I don’t care.

Is a murder committed more heinous than a suicide allowed? In its act, sure. In this context? NO.

An “unlucky accident” like this is the ONE THING that a non-corrupt State must prevent. It’s the non-corrupt State’s ONE JOB to keep Epstein alive for trial, and everyone knows that everyone knows this is their ONE JOB.

It is impossible to violate this common knowledge without premeditation and malice, without conspiracy and criminality aforethought. It is impossible to have an “unlucky accident” like this in a non-corrupt State.

I’m a superstitious man. I’m blaming the people in the room.

What room?

The room of violence and power and wealth.

The room of the corrupt State.

The room that is swarmed by the Nudging Oligarchy. The room that is supported and propped up by the apparatchiks and hangers-on and wannabes and “journalists” of District One.

I DON’T CARE how deeply Mob Boss Donald or Mob Boss Bill or Mob Boss Andrew was part of this specific criminal conspiracy, either in its operation or its cover-up.

They are mob bosses all the same, and I blame them all the same, and they are guilty all the same, regardless of their specific interest in this specific crime and regardless of whether this was murder or suicide.

Many readers will think I’m naive when I tell you that I was genuinely shocked that Jeffrey Epstein suffered this “unlucky accident.” As the kids would say, I was shook.

I haven’t felt this way since October 2008 when the US Treasury put the full faith and credit of the United States behind the unsecured debt of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan and Bank of America.

Then as now, the pleasant skin of “Yay, democracy!” has been sloughed off to reveal the naked sinews of power and wealth and violence beneath. There’s no crisis like there was in 2008. The world isn’t ending like it was in 2008. But I’m telling you that it feels the same to me.

They’re. Not. Even. Pretending. Anymore.

The Nudging State and the Nudging Oligarchy cannot be defeated on a single point of failure like Jeffrey Epstein’s testimony at trial. Or like the bankruptcy of AIG.

The sociopathic oligarchs will win every direct confrontation. That’s what sociopathic oligarchs DO.

But a million effin’ points of failure? A rejection of the ATTENTION that sociopathic oligarchs require, in both markets and politics? A refusal to vote for ridiculous candidates and buy ridiculous securities? A refusal AT SCALE? A modern movement of disengagement from a market casino and an election sideshow in favor of what is REAL?

Yeah.

Yeah, that can work.

Ben Hunt is a fool. In a misguided attempt at being “even-handed”, he has placed Trump and Melania on an equal standing with the Clinton´s with regards to the Epstein case. Three facts. First, Trump´s relationship with Epstein, such as it was, does not even come close to that which Epstein had with the Clinton´s and other prominent Democrats. Yes, they were both in the New York and Palm Beach social scene, but that is about it. Second, Trump threw Epstein out of Mar-A-Lago when he caught Epstein pawing a piece of jailbait. Third, in the first investigation of Epstein, Trump was the only one – the only one – of the people contacted by the prosecutors who agreed to talk to them and provided information voluntarily. Get your facts, straight, Hunt. This is a Democrat issue, an Israeli espionage issue, a sex pervert issue. It is not a Trump issue.

You are either naive or a fool, Sage. I have attended HSF’s seminar on visual analysis, if it walks like a duck… You attempt to elevate Trump and Melania with your outrage but the picture above shows Melania is on board with the whole deal. And isn’t that Trump’s pinch hitter for Stormy? Surely Melania knew that. She let us know she doesn’t care; she wore that jacket that said, Mom hair don’t care, something like that. Because rich.

————————————————-

“Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand. They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves. Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we are. They are different. ” F. Scott Fitzgerald

So you forgot the Podesta emails? The Hillary emails, pizzagate and spiritcooking and all that? where is Trump in that? Seth Rich? As to the photo, it is a celebrity shot. Let us look at Obama and his ‘body man’ who was real close to him until people started talking. Only thing here is Obama wasn’t into hot women…look at who he married….comment image

Took the words out of my mouth. Trump has nothing to do with the Democrats and Democrat supporting international celebs that availed themselves of Epstein’s forbidden fruit favors. Epsteins ‘little black book’ is a who’s who of Left-wing note-worthies. Their exposure could only benefit Trump’s agenda.

So, that is a very good reason for the Trump team to go and kidnap Epstein for later. Wouldn’t that be some shit?

None of us know how accurate the reporting is but if you read the reports that were in the comments on the epstein might have been murdered thread it seems that trump is not clean moneywise,but probably not a young girl molester–

Go to the website … Truews.com. They will SHOW you an abundance of evidence to the contrary. Trump is bought and paid for. All people in positions of power are bought and paid for. Or you can carry on with your beliefs which make you feel safe and secure and take potshots at someone (me) who cares only about he truth.

Totally agree. Conflating Trump with Clinton, et al is pure, unadulterated b.s. Surely No One believes that if any trash were available re Trump and little Jeffrey that the MSM would not have been running and running and running with it. They did not because it was not there. As for the rest of it, Jeffrey’s mouth has been closed forever, hasn’t it. The Deep State got him. A total shame. And, somewhere on some tidy little tropical isle, new bank accounts have been opened in somebody’s else’s name. Now let’s see how long the two low level Corrections folks last before they are struck down in some sad ‘accident.’

I rarely have issues with your comments, but

if it’s not a Trump issue…

Is it a Bob Barr, DOJ, and a “they’e all circlejerk of Jews” issue?

he has literally spent his entire adult life with these “people” until 2015 when he decided to switch teams (to the GOP which instead of young girls seems to prefer young boys). judge a man by the friends he keeps. stop defending a politician who doesn’t give a shit about you and has done nothing for you.

Common Knowledge = Overton Window

If you don’t know who the mark is, you are the mark.

Art of the deal: Go big with talk of federal Red Flag legislation, then switch to assault weapon ban.

H.R.1296 – Assault Weapons Ban of 2019 / 116th Congress (2019-2020)

Because Politicians Promote Murder, Mayhem, & Terror to Propagandize Political Agendas & Consolidate Power

….the (so-called) military-style assault rifles, high capacity magazines, and internet-expressed extremism. ..are these not perceived by the political establishment as the perfect triune of domestic threats against the government?

“There’s no crisis like there was in 2008. The world isn’t ending like it was in 2008.”
I call bullshit on that. I think this naked display of the in-your-face corruption by ‘leaders’ will eventually blow this societal order to kingdom come. It undermines the very ground ‘authority’ sits upon. Even rank pols like Little Marco won’t be able to again say “no one is above the law” except as a laugh line. We’re supposed to respect the same authority figures who rape children and/or those who knew about it and said nothing? For 15 years? So the fbi nor the cia knew? How stupid do you have to be to believe that? Consent-always a farce-soon won’t be viable for them to sell. From now on they’ll have to rely on muscle alone.

Oh yeah, and this nation’s real problem is white nationalism. BTW notice Tucker Carlson has not been seen since he called that a hoax?

Southern Saga hits it out of the park. Trump has had nothing to do with the ” jew ” Epstein since he caught him Googling one of his young female employees .PLS people get your facts straight .This is one time when I can say Trump had nothing to do with these people based on my research. Many people wanted him dead so take your pick.Seems a lot of people get killed after having some contact with the Clintons.Star there.

I’d like to think trump wasn’t a child rapist-but it’s no sure bet. He’s an ally cat. But I’m laying odds BB the repos walk trump’s latest gun grab thru congress. There are 2 sides but not the repo/dummo game. I see it as us versus them.

Epstein’s a pedophile, blah,blah,blah.

Just a few short decades ago in this country, 16 years old was prime marrying age for young women. How quickly we forget our past.

No one has accused Epstein of having sex with little children that I have heard about, which was always the common definition for pedophilia.

It’s still legal in a couple of states. Think about that young thing you had in the back of your dad’s Buick, she wasn’t some middle age librarian, she was maybe 15? The big problem here is that Eppy is in his 60’s. You try that same stunt in back of the Buick now and you are going to get arrested for molestation.
