20. Epstein had a central role in what is most likely the biggest criminal organization the world has ever known.
Sun Mar 1, 2026, 06:22 PM
Sunday

My guess is that the Russians ran it, and Epstein acted as a coordinator and facilitator. The more I see, the more I realize that Trump had a role, but certainly wasn't running the show.
His job was to get elected with the help of Russia and a whole bunch of oligarch wanna bees, and then gut the US government from within so they couldn't take any meaningful action against them. The more I see, the more it looks like Merrick Garland was blocked from doing his job...perhaps blackmailed into standing down.
William Barr was in the same boat with Garland.

As it looks now, Trump's cabinet probably has several members of this international cabal in it, and several others who are either willing to work for them, or are badly compromised. I also think a lot of the republicans in Congress have been compromised and aren't willing to act for fear of having things come out that would ruin them.

Our challenge is to stand and deliver. We never had a bigger choice in our lives. What happens in the next 3 years will determine, not just the fate of the US, but the fate of the whole free world.
If the US falls, the rest of the world will follow.
