One Nation Under Blackmail
"We have to denounce evil when it becomes known to us." - Whitney Webb
“...writing a 900-page book on this stuff, I can say Epstein is, first and foremost, a financial criminal, who later dabbled in sex-trafficking and also arms-trafficking. It's bad." - Whitney Webb
“I had rich shock!” one stunned guest says about Epstein’s house, which the owner claims is the largest private dwelling in the city. At a recent dinner organized by Ghislaine Maxwell, Blaine amused a group of barely clad models with card tricks. Alas, Clinton—around whom the evening had been organized—never showed, though his Secret Service would have appreciated Epstein’s numerous security cameras.
“I knew by now that when a group of individuals gravitated toward one another for no apparent reason, or a group of individuals inexplicably headed in the same direction as if drawn by a magnetic field, or coincidence piled on coincidence too many times, as often as not the shadowy outlines of a covert intelligence operation were somehow becoming visible.” - Jim Garrison
As I noted in 40 gallons to freedom…
For an Epstein/Wexner/Maxwell Et al. crash course (just the tip of the iceberg), here is an early four-part series by Whitney Webb:
HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT: THE SHOCKING ORIGINS OF THE JEFFREY EPSTEIN CASE
GOVERNMENT BY BLACKMAIL: JEFFREY EPSTEIN, TRUMP’S MENTOR AND THE DARK SECRETS OF THE REAGAN ERA
MEGA GROUP, MAXWELLS AND MOSSAD: THE SPY STORY AT THE HEART OF THE JEFFREY EPSTEIN SCANDAL
When I go through Whitney Webb’s articles, I'll check all her sources and links...and it's surreal. What a collection of elite sleaze. There is so much smoke that the risk is you die of smoke inhalation before comprehending the enormity of the fire.
“The amount of detail Webb has is remarkable and may be overwhelming to some. I've fact-checked countless of her Epstein-related claims and never been let down. She is doing the most important journalism in the world right now.” - Rudy Havenstein
Most people - including almost everyone in the MSM - naturally prefer to wave off things like the Epstein network as "tinfoil conspiracy theory," or "fake news," because doing real research is hard, and the implications of what is going on can be very depressing and unsettling.
So how did I get started down this rathole?
I came on the Twitter in 2013 because I had been closely following the markets and the Fed since the 1990’s, and was personally and deeply appalled at how the elite crime wave culminating in 2008 came about, and was (not) handled, and I thought I could vent my frustration and have some fun (OK, a lot of fun) at the same time.
And ever since then everything has just gotten so much worse for most.
I’d been interested in Jeff Epstein’s weird connections long before his 2019 re-arrest, and long before I’d even heard of Whitney Webb (who didn’t join Twitter until 2016).
(As an aside, I have from the very beginning been 100% nonpartisan when it comes to this network. I don’t care at all what letter is after someone’s name if they’re involved in shady stuff. One reason I believe this case has gone nowhere is that it is very bipartisan. If I mention Clinton, partisans demand, “What about Trump!”, and vice-versa. I don’t play that game.)
Over the next 5 years or so I’d tweet about Epstein once in a while. I was particularly annoyed that CNBC would have a number of Jeff Epstein’s very close associates like Larry Summers and Jes Staley on, and never, ever ask them about Epstein.
I tweeted Carl and Wilf and Santoli and Sara, and all the rest, and I know they saw the tweets - Carl and Mike hadn’t blocked me yet, and Carl even followed me at the time - but literally no one at CNBC cared (much like now).
Epstein was a guest at the Queen's birthday party at Windsor and travelled with Ghislaine to Andrew's country weekend at Sandringham before Christmas. He has made many millions out of his business links with the likes of Bill Gates, Donald Trump and Ohio billionaire Leslie Wexner, whose trust he runs. [Note that this article is from 2001, and Bill Gates still claims he never met Jeff Epstein until 2011 - rh] Prince Andrew's friends can only speculate what Epstein gains from his association with British royals but clearly it can do no harm to his business reputation in New York.
But the story was not a priority for me really until they killed Epstein in prison.
"A non-corrupt state has one job when Jeffrey Epstein's in jail - you keep him alive for trial." - Ben Hunt
Just like in 2008 and since, the bad guys got away with it.
Once Epstein got suicided, and having found Whitney Webb, I really got into the case. I have countless tweets - with links - on the topic.
Twitter search tips:
from:account keyword [keyword]
e.g., from:rudyhavenstein epstein
from:joebiden malarkey
or
from:rudyhavenstein trump clinton epstein
You have to look at both top and latest tweets (and even then Twitter search doesn't always work.) You generally have to use exact keywords, and twitter sometimes will do odd stuff where it won’t find something like, “My name is Bob,” but it WILL find “name is Bob.”

I have to say at this point that my work on the subject is nothing compared to Whitney Webb’s. She is the bravest journalist in the world right now in my mind.
Almost no one in the MSM will touch this story with a ten-foot pole, or they’ll say oh yeah, he was a perv, and now he’s dead (thanks Donald!), and Ghislaine’s in jail. Case closed.
No.
This is the story of the century, and Jeff Epstein was just a bit player, and no one with any power at all cares.
I now have both volumes of her new book, One Nation Under Blackmail, and suggest you do the same.
This is a thoroughly footnoted, serious research work, 947 pages long.
If you’re looking for something more of a light read, try the four articles I linked above.
I’m only a few pages in so far. My understanding is that Epstein really doesn’t even come in much until Volume 2.
The subtitle of the book is “The sordid union between Intelligence and Organized Crime that gave rise to Jeff Epstein.”
Acosta had explained, breezily, apparently, that back in the day he’d had just one meeting on the Epstein case. He’d cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein’s attorneys because he had “been told” to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone,” he told his interviewers in the Trump transition, who evidently thought that was a sufficient answer and went ahead and hired Acosta. (The Labor Department had no comment when asked about this.)
I mean, honestly - how was this one particular 2020 comment below by Cindy McCain not replayed 24/7 on all the cable networks? I think I know why, and it's sad.
"Epstein was hiding in plain sight. We all knew about him. We all knew what he was doing, but we had no one — no legal aspect that would go after him. They were afraid of him. For whatever reason, they were afraid of him." - Cindy McCain
McCain was married to one of the most powerful people in the world and runs a foundation that supposedly fights human trafficking, yet did nothing.
I really hope some mainstream “journalists” (or, God forbid, prosecutors!) might be shamed by Webb’s courage and facts into looking at this story again, but I do not expect that.
What I do expect is that she will be either ignored, or attacked for her efforts.
So in closing for now, I hadn’t had anything in a while that interested me enough to do a long-form Substack rant, and now I do.
As I work my way through the book I expect additional posts. I hope you’ll be reading along as well.
Godspeed.
It's always much worse than we believe isn't it, thanks for all your effort.
I love Whitney. Everyone should check her out
