The Jeffrey Epstein Case Is Far Bigger Than Jeffrey Epstein

Last week President Trump took umbrage to a question about the Justice Department’s assertion that there are no Epstein tapes, there is no client list and there is nothing more to be released.  Yesterday he made some more inane comments on the subject.  The Twitterverse has been brutal towards AG Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel and his #2 Dan Bongino.  Many people were saying they felt betrayed given the fact that before the election we were told that the files would be released and the criminals held to account.

The president has a point.  There is a lot going on in Washington. There are natural disasters with dozens dead across Texas.  There are continuing ICE protests across the country.  There are budgets that need to be attended to as well as rouge judges who need to be corralled and numerous conflicts outside our borders that need to be midwifed.  And all of that besides the basic blocking and tackling of running the government and trying to advance the administration’s rather ambitious agenda.  And taking the time to talk about some files from a guy who’s been dead for six years seems like it might distract from all of that.

But, you see, here’s the thing.  People want answers that seem logical, that provide rational explanations to obvious questions, that provide proof that the speculation is wrong.  This is particularly true when the people now saying there’s nothing there were the very people who promised answers, transparency and accountability would be coming when they won.  Well, they won, and we’re getting the same obfuscation.

The truth is, if this was just a matter of a senator cheating on his wife with a lobbyist for some industry he regulates, it wouldn’t really matter in the big picture. If this was some bureaucrat taking bribes to sign a service contract for some shipping company nobody would really care.  Sure, the first is an ethics question and the second is illegal, but beyond the participants themselves they aren’t very important in the grand scheme of things. 

The problem here is that this is all happening in an environment where Americans are coming to believe that no one is ever accountable for their actions.  We see city centers across the country imploding as stores and shops and hotels close because of the crime where hoodlums and thugs and drug addicts can basically take or destroy whatever they want with impunity. We see judges issue injunctions against the administration despite SCOTUS specifically ruling they can’t.  At the same time we have politicians, Antifa and activists undermining, and hindering and assaulting ICE agents who are trying to deport criminals, and the chances of them being held accountable for these crimes is almost nonexistent. Nobody seems accountable for anything.  It seems in 2025 in America it’s only the fools who actually obey the rules because everyone else seems to do whatever the hell they want. 

Now add to all of that the fact that we’ve just spent much of the last 15 years watching politicians and the politically connected do whatever the hell they wanted and never face a reckoning. Remember Lois Lerner targeting Tea Party groups? Prosecution?  Of course not.  How about Eric Holder being in Contempt of Congress?  Jail time? Nope.  Compare that to Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro.  How about Hillary wiping her computer or Hunter Biden breaking basically every law in the book and getting a pardon from his daddy. Or Lisa Page and Peter Strzok not only not getting charged, but getting millions of dollars from the Justice Department after conspiring to keep Donald Trump out of the White House? And the list goes on.  In modern America it seems as if no one is ever held accountable for their actions.

And so it is onto this backdrop the Trump administration tells us that 1) Jeffery Epstein killed himself, and 2) there was no client list and there are no videos. 

And when reporters ask about it the President gets indignant. 

The problem with that is the Epstein case no longer has much of anything to do with Jeffery Epstein, per se.  The guy’s dead and he’s not coming back. None of the crimes for which he was responsible can be undone. But Americans have heard rumors that rich and powerful men, from politicians to tech billionaires to justices to high priced lawyers and Hollywood stars were all clients of Epstein in his sex trade with minors, yet they remain free as birds. The one person who was clearly demonstrated to have a connection reportedly settled with his accuser for millions of dollars.

We were told Epstein had logs and tapes that chronicled all of it and used them to blackmail his powerful clients.  Indeed, in February AG Pam Bondi said she hoped to release a "lot of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot of information" on Epstein and said of the material "It's sitting on my desk right now to review." Then of course there’s the fact that Epstein’s “assistant” Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking of a minor as well as transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity. He himself was convicted of procuring underage prostitutes in 2008  Then the guy conveniently “committed suicide” in 2019 after being arrested on child trafficking charges, and the video of his cell was “accidentally erased” or the cameras “malfunctioned” or the video was inconclusive. His lawyers claimed that the particulars of his death were far more consistent with murder than suicide, and many Americans agreed.

And if all of that were not enough, Jeffery Epstein was once a money man for the CIA and Ghislaine Maxwell’s father was reported to be a Mossad agent and then killed by them. 

So here is where we are.  A high flying millionaire with connections to the CIA and possibly the Mossad and MI6, who owned an island in the Atlantic and who is reported to have used it as a honey trap for the rich and powerful ends up dead and suddenly the people who were telling us they were going to expose the entire thing when they were on the outside are now telling us that there’s nothing to tell now that they’re on the inside. 

The reality is the Jeffery Epstein case is far more important than Jeffery Epstein ever was. There is credible evidence that Epstein was an asset for one or more intelligence agencies who were very possibly blackmailing powerful men in government, finance and elsewhere and Americans feel like they have a right to know. There is a great deal of smoke around the Epstein case and Occam's razor suggests that it is likely to be exactly what it looks like: A honeypot operation set up by the CIA / Mossad / MI6 as a blackmail vehicle.

This case may not be as important as others on the President’s desk, but it’s a far bigger deal than I think he understands. He promised transparency and accountability.  We are getting neither and the more his administration obfuscates the less people are going to trust him on those bigger issues. Americans want to know we’re moving back towards no one being above the law.  This case exemplifies exactly that.  How the President chooses to handle it will tell us a lot.

Unfettered, Uncontrolled Immigration is a Cancer on the American Republic.

Unfettered, uncontrolled immigration is a cancer on the American Republic. 

The question is, why does it continue unabated?  There are lots of reasons.

One of the big drivers is the pernicious Chamber of Commerce.  Big business in America needs workers.  Illegal immigrants swell the worker pool, doing many of those supposed “jobs American’s won’t do.” You know, those in the construction industry, hotels, farming, etc.  To the degree that big business can employ illegal immigrants at wages below those which would be required to pay Americans to work, illegal immigration is a winning issue for them.

Another is the Catholic Church, which not only solicits funds from parishioners but also generates hundreds of millions of dollars annually for supporting the illegal alien invasion.    

The Chamber and the Vatican are only part of the cabal of businesses, NGOs and government agencies that have built an ecosystem around the illegal immigrant trade. Somebody has to sell the cell phones the government is giving to illegals.  Companies have to facilitate the tens of billions of dollars illegal aliens send home every year. Someone has to provide the gasoline for planes to fly immigrants around the country.   Schools get bigger budgets – to the tune of $59 billion.  Hospitals earn almost $20 billion a year. Even hotels get into the mix, with one upscale Times Square hotel with rooms going for $400 a night completely booked with illegal immigrants some of whom spend their time beating their spouses, doing drugs, drinking, throwing out food and having sex in the stairways. And of course the tens of thousands of bureaucrats across the country at all levels who must be hired to deal with the onslaught.  All of this paid for by government, which means by taxpayers. Beyond all of that, we’re even paying $6 million a day to defense contractors to NOT build a wall on our southern border! 

The amounts involved are simply staggering, well over $100 billion annually (or $200 billion depending on who’s counting) and that’s surely a severe undercount when considering that doesn’t count the “enforcement” of the border element of the equation. Every single year…

Needless to say, there are a lot of people in the country making money from the surge in illegal immigrants. While your money goes into the pockets of the illegal alien empowerment cabal, it’s only money.  There are other, far more vicious costs.  Not the least of which was paid by the families of the 100,000 Americans who died of a fentanyl overdose, a drug that almost exclusively comes over the southern border.  Plus there were many times that number of addicts who didn’t succumb and continued to wreak havoc in their homes and communities. And then there are the tens of thousands of women and children who suffer as a result of sex trafficking across the border. And then there’s the price paid in life and treasure by the victims of illegal alien crime.  And Democrats whined when Trump wanted to spend a few billion to build a wall…

And exactly how many illegal immigrants are in the country?  Numbers are all over the map.  In 2021 DHS estimated that the number of illegal aliens in 2018 was 11 million.  Not surprisingly that’s essentially the exact same number the government has been claiming there are for decades!  That 11 million is of course a lie.  The same year Yale and MIT estimated the number at 22 million and potentially as high as 29 million.  Way back in 2005 Bear Sterns estimated the number was 20 million with another 3 million coming in annually.  If that assessment was accurate then here 18 years later we’d have another 52 million illegals in the country for a total of 72 million!

The one thing we know is that the government has been telling us the number is 11 million since the 90s. That is a lie.  It is simply impossible.  In just the last 22 months 5.2 million people illegally crossed into the United States, and that doesn’t include the hundreds of thousands if not millions who eluded detection.  The exact number of illegal aliens in our midst is impossible to know for certain, but the most likely number is 35 million or more. 

Given that illegal aliens seem to make up almost 10% of our population, the question is again:  Why doesn’t someone stop this invasion.  The real answer is actually quite simple:  Power.

The reason this is not stopped is because illegal aliens flock to large cities in Democrat strongholds.  It’s not because they vote, although no doubt some of them do illegally.  No, it’s all about numbers.  We’ll start with the proportions reported by Pew Research in 2019 about where illegal aliens live.  As the report parrots the government’s lie of 11 million, we’ll triple their stated numbers.  Doing so gives us 33 million illegal aliens spread over all 50 states. 

Importantly however, 80% of those 33 million are located in large metropolitan areas of in just 15 states:  AZ, CA, FL, GA, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, NC, TX, VA & WA.  That’s approximately 24 million people, with 14.5 living in Democrat states and 9.1 living in GOP states.  The fact that they are people and but not citizens is critical, because Congressional representation is based on population, not citizens.  The number of people each Congressional district represents is approximately 735,000.

Of the 15 states listed above, 8 have majority Democrat Congressional delegations (CA, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, VA, WA) 4 have majority Republican delegations (AZ, FL, GA, TX) and one (NC) is even.  California, with its estimated 6.6 million illegal aliens, has between 8 & 9 more seats than it would without illegal aliens. New York with its 2.1 million approximately 3 more Congressmen while Texas, with its 4.8 million has 6 or 7.  When you do the math those 24 million illegal aliens living in those 15 states result in a net positive of 6 Congressional seats for Democrats. 

If six seats doesn’t sound like much, think again.  In 4 of the last 13 Congressional elections had the minority party had just six more seats they would have been the majority party. And with that majority comes power.  As the government has accumulated more power, as Washington has increased its control over the everyday lives of the American people, and as the leviathan of the bureaucracy has grown, the value of each and every illegal alien increases. 

Money and power.  Probably not news, but there it is. Those are the driving forces behind why this invasion of illegals is not being stopped, but why it’s being actively encouraged.  It’s interesting too that the cabal who are abetting this invasion are the familiar faces pushing the policies behind much of the dystopian chaos that our biggest cities are suffering through today:  Activist NGOs, big business, bureaucrats and of course the Democrat party. 

Hiding their avarice behind the fig leaves of “compassion” and “empathy” the members of this cabal increase their bank accounts and their power with little regard for the good or the desires of the citizens of the United States.  But the truth is, why should they?  They are all but declaring war on the United States and the American people, yet somehow they keep “winning” elections.  Who says insurrection doesn’t pay?
