Before I abandoned my rich and therefore “smart” friends for the sanity that only solitude can bring, they rolled their eyes at me whenever I brought up conspiracies like Epstein. The herd has chosen intentional obtuseness as their drug to dull the pain from the emptiness of their lives and the true nature of this reality.
It's easier for them to roll their eyes and say "conspiracy theorist" than to seriously look into this case. They don't really want or care to know the truth.
Real research is hard, and, in this case, extremely unsettling and depressing in its implications.
My rare injections in conversations of Epstein name end up in rolled eyes and quick jumps to another topic - I've been explained once, that "Filthy Rich" on public relations/propaganda father's, Edward Bernays, streaming machine, Netflix, is more than sufficient enough to call it a day on the topic and why do they need to care if those in power are beyond the league, doing what they want, while we are "just regular hard-working folks". Somehow the contradictions in this argument is not being spotted, whilst no understanding of the system whatsoever. Sad.
Ideologically subverted and stupified for generations are not able to grasp Military-Industrial-Congressional-Complex model either, though it could be easily explained: in the end, everything comes to money and power - concepts even kids understand.
Time for a change will come - the price is still in negotiation in the currency of human lives: the latter the enlightenment happens, the higher the toll.
I think Webb’s investigations are difficult for people because the whole thing is so complex with links to so many of the power structures, so long in the making, and so ‘out there’ her articles read like fiction/conspiracy (I read them all twice at the time). Plus she writes for niche media so her exposure is limited. There is still a huge portion of the US population who cannot, will not believe the US/business (leadership) is capable of such behaviour en masse; preferring to think Epstein is just a freak pervert, not the norm. I often wonder if this sordid affair is what forms the basis of Q’anon’s pedo conspiracy. I also believe this is what is meant by “deep state”.
While most houses in Wall Street are crying wolf these days, Bear, Stearns & Co. is singing a different—and more optimistic—tune.
In two weeks, it will leave the splendor of 1 Wall Street for much larger quarters in the new Uris Buildings sky scraper at 55 Water Street. A sign at the site of the new home office already hangs in a ground‐floor window: “Chemical Bank Welcomes Employees of Bear, Stearns,”
Since Wall Street owns the Fed, and history has shown the need for national banks to finance dirigism for long term investments in internal improvements (see China today), instead of ending the Fed, how about we nationalize it?
There's no Fed in the Constitution. Matt Stoller is one who has talked about making monetary policy more accountable. Would Congress also be awful? Probably, but it's also not a private bank cartel.
True. I guess we could just change the name, move it into the treasury department, congress determines issuance of public credit for common defense and the general welfare (article 1 section 8), and implement the Hamiltonian concept expressed in the first and second Bank of the US, Lincoln's greenbacks, and FDR's Reconstruction Finance Corporation.

These posts are truly fantastic, actually even better than you twitter was.
Thank you. I'm starting to get the hang of it.

Thank you keeping this in the spotlight, the best you can. It is much appreciated.

Another banger. Love the style, love the work.

The end game would probably be the same.
