Steve Bannon’s whole pitch is that he’s leading a movement against a decadent, borderless elite. Except according to newly released messages and emails, that movement has been heavily reliant on the most decadent, borderless elite of all: Jeffrey Epstein.

    I mean there is a reason why all the tech giants are licking Trump’s asshole so eagerly. Among other reasons such as being able to run rampant with no consequences, some of their founders or shareholders are almost surely in the files. So Trump is using both carrot and stick against them and it seems to work well.

    Earlier today I learned he owned a WoW gold farm, and was paying people $4 a day for 80 hour work weeks. Sound like a great guy

    I’m pretty sure most offensively rich people in this country, and possibly other countries, were much closer to Epstein than we initially realized at this point.

    Bannon is the type of guy you’d never want to enter his house because it smells so bad. I’m not at all surprised he’s a diddler too.

      To be fair, there is no evidence that Bannon himself was a kiddie diddler, just that he was good friends with Epstein. Much like Michael Wolfe and Bill Gates. Though it is quite obvious that he knew what was going on, and has himself said that Epstein was the only person that could take down Trump.

            Only one ongoing case, Ghislaine Maxwell, who’s trying to get retried. No one else has been charged, and have layers of corrupt officials doing their best to keep them from consequence.

            There’s little use talking of taint, when the rot has run through. And the thing with rot and taint is that we’ll always get as much as we tolerate.

        There was a picture of Gates and a young woman released today…

        And Michael Wolfe, that fucker was actively coordinating with Epstein, far more than is normal for a journalist.

          Yeah, that’s still just a smoking gun. I’ve only seen a censored picture with Gates, so for all I know, it could be a picture with Hannibal Lectar himself, and Wolfe is that type of journalist. Everything he’s done before, he implants himself into some unbelievable crowds, and it seems to somehow work, though I’m skeptical why some people he talks about still trust him to this day to share the most secrets.

            because they know nothing will happen to them, and they like seeing their name in headlines?

          I think we need to kill that saying off after the Ukraine deal, how many jews are blatant nazis like Stephen Miller, and when Vice were good, they would sit down with ISIS.

    A group of powerful sexual abusers and pedophiles are at imminent threat of being caught and they’re all scrambling to seize power before it can be used to bring them to account. The entire group of current American Republican leadership and strategists are likely all implicated.

    Still waiting for the expose on omnomnomsky revealing he was really close to Epstein and was a kiddie diddler too. I’m really trying not to be so cynical these days but all these Epstein revelations are not helping.
