As the Dominos Begin to Fall - The Epstein Effect Is Accelerating

We first noticed all of this with Prince Andrew and some high mucky-mucks in the UK suddenly falling out of their positions. The Royal Family? Really?

And now, others are tumbling down. Larry Summers, for example, is losing his positions at Harvard. Bill Gates is making apologetic noises about one thing or another.

And, of course, there's our errant President and a few others who are being caught up in the slow, but speeding up tumbling of the dominos.

What's next. Who falls out of place while knocking the next one down.

I do not understand what is going on, actually. Maybe nobody does. But, the signs are clear that things are getting more complicated and involving more and more names we recognize.

I suspect there will be more interesting tumbles coming up. Who knows what each of them triggers as they fall?

I'm watching closely, and trying to get a feel for it and what is underlying all of this collapsing. I wonder if it's not going to get bigger and affect more people and groups of people as the dominos tip over and collide with others along the path.

Interesting times. Yes, indeed. And there are paper trails. Secret paper trails, but you know how secrets like that go. Each trail is a secret only as long as nobody spills the beans.

We may be just at the beginning of something that ends up being earth-shaking. Or not. We'll just have to watch and wait, I guess.

Whee! Here we go...maybe.

Want more? Here's a list of some of the "nomenklatura" who are falling. Some may be new to you:

That's the crux of all this. The dots are poorly connected so far.
