Federal Report on the Death of Jeffrey Epstein Is Rife With Evidence of Foul Play

  - Intellectual Takeout

• Less than two weeks later, prison guards found Epstein in the middle of the night in a semiconscious state with a rope and “friction marks” around his neck.

"More than 20 years after a woman named Maria Farmer first reported Jeffrey Epstein and his associates to the FBI in 1996 for molesting children, the federal government finally arrested Epstein in 2019 for “sex trafficking of minors.” Only five weeks later, this uber-wealthy financier with hordes of friends in high places was dead.

"In the weeks leading up to Epstein’s death, an array of people predicted that unless Epstein was heavily guarded in prison, he would likely be killed to keep him silent. Several first-hand witnesses had implicated powerful people in Epstein’s child sex crimes, and journalists had reported that Epstein “belonged to intelligence” and was likely engaged in sexual blackmail, a tactic of intelligence agencies like the FBI and CIA.

"Despite those suspicious circumstances, dozens of media outlets are reporting there’s no evidence of foul play in Epstein’s death based on a recent report by the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Justice—Obama appointee Michael Horowitz. ABC News, for example, claims the report proves “Epstein died by suicide” and “foul play was not possible.”

"In reality, the Horowitz Report presents more than a dozen facts consistent with the conclusion that Epstein died of a coerced and abetted suicide. Combined with corroborating primary sources like court filings, it is clear that federal officials repeatedly endangered Epstein’s life and systematically mishandled evidence that could incriminate others in his death and sex crimes." . . .

Biden's brief Maui visit marked by resident's anger over perceived inadequate government response

Just The News  "Following the tragic wildfires that killed over 100 people, President Joe Biden visited Maui on Monday, where he was greeted by a flurry of hostile yells from survivors, upset by the government's response. 

" 'Here he comes after 13 days," one man can be heard stating in video footage of Biden’s motorcade making its way down an empty road. "Thanks for nothing," another man said, before multiple people began chanting, "F*@k you" and flipping off the commander-in-chief.

"Biden reportedly spent about six hours visiting the island.

"During his trip, Biden attended a ceremony commemorating the lives lost and damage inflicted on residents, and some outlets suggested he fell asleep during the event. A close look at the video footage appears to indicate the President remained awake but looked to have zoned out – with his head drooping and mouth open – as a man was speaking.

"He was also slammed online for "joking" about how hot the ground was. The video, shared on X, has been viewed over 5 million times and negative comments about he president."

Another racial hoax is slowly being exposed, this time in Canada

If you don’t have parents actively looking out for their children’s well-being, bad things happen.

 Another racial hoax is slowly being exposed, this time in Canada -Andrea Widberg   "It was a terrible scandal: Ground penetrating radar proved that hundreds, maybe thousands, of Canadian indigenous children died…or, really, were cruelly killed…at Christian and government residential schools, and then had their bodies tossed into unmarked graves. Churches (of course) burned. Now, though, it’s becoming clear that those “graves” are not yielding up bodies.

"The stories out of Canada were enough to make Justin Trudeau weep. In June 2021, the New York Times wrote a representative article about the scope of the findings:

The remains of more than 1,000 people, mostly children, have been discovered on the grounds of three former residential schools in two Canadian provinces since May.

In late June, the remains of 751 people, mainly Indigenous children, were discovered at the site of a former school in the province of Saskatchewan, a Canadian Indigenous group said.

The discovery, the largest one to date, came less than a month after the remains of 200 people, mostly children, were found in unmarked graves on the grounds of another former boarding school in British Columbia. In July, the Penelakut Tribe in British Columbia said it had uncovered about 160 undocumented and unmarked graves." . . . 

 . . ."Now, though, people are finally putting shovels to the ground, and they’re discovering…nothing: . . ."

From Afghanistan to East Palestine and Hawaii, Biden's Pattern of Behavior Lacks the Empathy He Promised

For Biden, the chance at redemption has vanished. At least when it comes to showing empathy, his misreading of what the country needs when a crisis affects fellow Americans has gone from a one-off to a pattern of behavior that chills even some of his most ardent supporters.

 Salena Zito (jewishworldreview.com) "On Sunday, after spending several hours on Rehoboth Beach in Delaware, President Joe Biden was asked by a member of the press pool about the rising death toll in Hawaii.

"Bloomberg reporter Justin Sink tweeted Biden's "no comment" response as the president left for his home in Delaware.

"With over 100 people dead and 10 times that number still unaccounted for, how hard would it have been for Biden to say something evoking the empathy the people of Hawaii need, the country needs, in those brief moments as he walked in the sand from his day at the beach?

"But he didn't. And we've seen this craven indifference before.

"Almost to the day two years ago, a chaotic two-week evacuation of 125,000 people from Kabul resulted in the horrific deaths of 13 American service members; it took Biden over a week for him to address the deaths to the public, and when he did in a speech to the nation, he spent the entire 23 minutes forcefully rejecting any criticism of his decision and hailed the effort as an "extraordinary success."

"In fact, despite the terrorist bombing killing 13 service members at the Kabul airport during a tumultuous rush to leave the country, Biden said he believed with "all of my heart" that he had made a wise decision and stubbornly dismissed any assessment that he should have conducted that final moment evacuating people in a "more orderly manner."

"He projected to the American public, and to the families by proxy, a sordid lack of empathy, compassion and indifference.

"Eighteen months later, the White House continued that chilling tone when spokesman John Kirby shrugged and smiled in reaction to the publication of the Biden administration's report on the Afghanistan withdrawal and said he didn't notice any mayhem. "For all this talk of chaos, I just didn't see it, not from my perch," Kirby, the National Security Council's coordinator for strategic communications, said.

"In February when a Norfolk-Southern train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, causing the spillage of thousands and thousands of gallons of hazardous chemicals in the air, soil and water in Columbiana County, Ohio, arguably changing their lives for at least a generation, it took Biden a whopping 18 days to make any kind of public statement about the situation." . . .

We Need a Truce

 The entire world sees Biden for the doddering sock puppet he is.  This includes American liberals who lie to pollsters in order to maintain party loyalty.  This election should be ours to lose.  If we do lose, it will be because too many conservatives prioritized their ego over their country and stayed home on Election Day. 

We Need a Truce - American Thinker   "Election season is rapidly approaching.  The first Republican debate is this week.  The Iowa caucus is in January, and the New Hampshire primary is soon thereafter.  With over a dozen declared candidates, the marathon placements are starting to take shape.

"For now, don't lean too heavily on polls.  First, we're too far out, and too much can happen.  Second, we all know how we feel about polls.  The poll showing our candidate doing well is Gospel.  The poll showing our candidate faring poorly is Soros-funded dreck.  As the polls change direction, so too change their designations.  Rinse.  Repeat. 

"But taking this into consideration, it is undeniable that, if all primary voting were held today, then Trump would win handily, DeSantis would come in a solid second, and both Ramaswamy and Scott will have garnered enough second-tier support to warrant vice presidential consideration.  Unfortunately for whichever camp you fall into, the polling so far suggests that Trump can't lose the primary and can't win the general election. 

"But what should be a civil discussion among rational conservatives is turning personal and nasty — not just among candidates, but among their supporters as well.  Trump-supporters are treating DeSantis-supporters like neocon sellouts, and DeSantis-supporters are treating Trump-supporters like cultish conspiracy theorists.  Neither charge is merited, and the rabble-rousers on both sides would do well to cut the ad hominem attacks.  Such are the tactics of leftists peddling the sexualization of children, not of principled Americans who reasonably disagree about the best path forward." . . .

Texas institution set to sever ties with ALA, supporters denigrated as ‘illiterates’

 The left doesn’t reproduce in the bedroom, they indoctrinate in the classroom. Get your kids out of government schools before they are turned against you." SamSorbo

Texas institution set to sever ties with ALA, supporters denigrated as ‘illiterates’ - American Thinker   "The National Review recently reported that after mounting pressure from lawmakers to parents, the Texas State Library & Archives Commission has opted not to renew its longstanding contract with the American Library Association. Of course, this elicited a flurry of derogatory remarks and memes from the left, some of which can be seen below:

"The move to cut ties came in response to the proliferation of pornographic and pseudo-academic material making its way into school and public libraries thanks to leftist operatives, as well as the president of the ALA recently admitting that she is a “Marxist lesbian.”

Normal adults don’t think children should be sexualized and indoctrinated, weird I know!

"We’ve seen “Gender Queer” with its graphic illustration of two erect men engaging in foreplay; “It’s Perfectly Normal” with its cartoon depictions of masturbating minors; and “What’s an Abortion, Anyway?” which is a cutesy children’s picture book to explain “abortion” care, but don’t worry because it’s “gender inclusive, medically accurate, and age-appropriate.”

"In 2022, the ALA published a “Top 13 Most Challenged Books” list, and said this in the opening statement:

The American Library Association condemns censorship and works to defend each person's right to read under the First Amendment and ensure free access to information.

"Out of the 13 books, more than half were challenged because of the “LGBTQIA+ content” — unsurprisingly, “Gender Queer” was number one.

"Now, I suppose the first tweet does have a hint of truth, because the rational forces who pushed for the break from the ALA are in fact probably illiterate in queer porn; yet, we conservatives would argue that that’s a very good thing.

"What is the left’s obsession with coming for children, especially children that don’t belong to them? Well, here’s your answer: . . ."

Fani Willis and the Corruption of Justice

 

The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  "Yet another corrupt establishment prosecutor targets outsider Trump.

"There they go again.

"Following in the tracks of New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg and the U.S. Justice Department’s “Special Counsel” Jack Smith, the similarly corrupted legal establishment of Georgia is now pushing forth one of their own in the ongoing game of “Get Trump.”

"In this latest soon-to-be case, that would be Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Aided and abetted by fellow Democrat Pat Labat, the county sheriff.

"Willis has already established her seriously partisan Democrat credentials, so much so that this story was headlined back there in 2022 by Atlanta News First:

"Fulton DA disqualified from investigating alleged election interference by Burt Jones

"Fani Willis held a fundraiser for Democrat Charlie Bailey after her grand jury had already been convened

"This jewel of a news story about the Fulton district attorney who is now going to be targeting former President Donald Trump reported this:

ATLANTA, Ga. (CBS46) – Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was disqualified Monday from investigating alleged 2020 election interference by state Sen. Burt Jones, the Republican who is also running for Georgia lieutenant governor.

Fulton Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney said Willis’ hosting of a fundraiser for Jones’ eventual Democratic opponent, Charlie Bailey, has caused a “concern about the District Attorney’s partiality” in the case. . . .

 How George Soros funded progressive DAs behind US crime surge (nypost.com)  "For the last several years, billionaire philanthropist George Soros has been quietly financing a revolution in criminal justice reform, doling out tens of millions of dollars to progressive candidates in district attorney races throughout the country amid movements to abolish bail and defund the police.

"Working with an activist attorney, Soros, 91, mainly funnels cash through a complicated web of federal and state political action committees as well as non-profits from coast to coast, public records show.

"Last year, the Foundation to Promote Open Society, a nonprofit in Soros’ orbit, gave $3 million to the Community Resource Hub for Safety and Accountability, according to a recent report. The group provides resources to “local advocates and organizations working to address the harm of policing in the US.” . . .

DeSantis Suspends Second Soft-on-Crime State Attorney - Intellectual Takeout    ...."What the one-eyed press was reluctant to discuss was Monique Worrell’s record, which alone was the subject of DeSantis’ executive order.

"It’s a bleak record, so it’s no wonder they avoided it.

"Monique Worrell has a sordid history of downgrading or dropping charges in serious criminal cases. Her office enabled “violent offenders, drug traffickers, serious-juvenile offenders, and pedophiles to evade incarceration, when otherwise warranted under Florida law.” In case after case, offenders she sent back to the streets went on to commit far more egregious crimes.

"Worrell turned her nose up at Florida’s mandatory minimum sentences for gun crimes. Spanning a two-year period, her administration imposed only one such sentence despite receiving 58 relevant referrals from one county sheriff’s office." . . .

s This The Most Asinine Sentence Ever Written About ‘Climate Change’?

  Issues & Insights

“The ruling following a first-of-its-kind trial in the U.S.,” the AP reported, “adds to a small number of legal decisions around the world that have established a government duty to protect citizens from climate change.” Wait! What?

. . ."Do they mean any sort of climate change, such as the climate change that occurs around the world every year when temperatures can change from sub-zero to 90 degrees in a matter of months?

"Or perhaps they mean that the government should protect citizens from things like El Nino, that naturally recurring – but scientifically inexplicable – climate phenomenon that we are currently experiencing, and underwater volcanic eruptions, both of which have driven this summer’s heat waves.

"Or, longer term, what about ice ages? There have been five of them in the earth’s history – also for reasons nobody can fully explain. The last one ended 10,000 years ago, which is about how long these “interglacial” periods last. A few years ago, some researchers predicted the next ice age could begin in 2030. Is it the government’s duty to protect us from this climate variation?

"Someone should take these AP reporters aside and explain to them a basic fact of life: The climate is always changing. Always. Sometimes for the worse. Sometimes for the better.

"They might go on to explain to these reporters that the best way to deal with an ever-changing climate isn’t to wish change away, or pretend that denying a drilling permit will make one iota of difference, but to encourage human ingenuity and prosperity.

"That’s how you deal with a climate that is always changing. By adapting to it. It’s why deaths from naturally occurring disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and so on, have steadily fallen as mankind has become smarter and more prosperous." . . .

Liz Cheney makes 1st public comment since Trump's election interference indictments

 

She pushed back on Trump's claim the Jan. 6 committee "destroyed" evidence. - ABC News (go.com)   "Former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney is speaking out on social media in the wake of the recent election interference indictments of former President Donald Trump, highlighting the work of the House Jan. 6 committee.

"Despite serving as vice chair of the committee, and pledging to do whatever it takes to keep Trump out of the White House, it was Cheney's first public comment since Trump was twice indicted on election-related charges.

"In a post on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, Cheney said it "might be a good time" to review the product of the panel's 18-month investigation, pushing back on Trump's recent claims that the House committee destroyed "all" its evidence and records.

" 'No surprise Trump doesn't want you to see the J6 Committee evidence," Cheney wrote as she provided a link to the government site that houses many of those records.

" 'Here's the GPO website with transcripts, documents, exhibits & our meticulously sourced 800+ page final report," Cheney wrote. "Also links to our hearings. Might be a good time to watch those again.' " . . .

President Biden's Dementia

The order also raises the possibility of the president being manipulated by radical ideologues.  This, too, strengthens the case that he is no longer mentally fit for the job.  Instances people of Biden's age being fooled by con men abound.  We are not a government of puppeteers. Time to confront the issue and seriously consider the 25th Amendment.

It’s like watching a Visiting Angels commercial

  Robert Weissberg; American Thinker    "Has President Biden become so senile that he is [no] longer qualified to be commander-in-chief?  The outward signs of dementia are everywhere.  He often appears confused, unsure of his next move, and unable to remember his speech.  Key political terms such as the "national debt" are improperly used, while his memory lapses include falsely claiming to have observed an events or declaring a climate emergency.  Even the Washington Post has raised serious doubts about the president's mental acuity.  Off-the-cuff remarks sometimes make no sense whatsoever.  Such incidents have become commonplace and cannot be explained by slips of the tongue or fatigue.". . .

"The smoking-gun evidence for dementia here is the missive's obvious crackpot nature, an example of identity politics run amok.  Does the president honestly believe that the

Department of Defense will work better if its workforce better resembles the general population?  Will planes fly on schedule if we hire more LGBT identifiers or senior citizen as air traffic controllers?  This is delusional thinking, and one can only wonder why a sensible adviser did not counsel the president not to sign it.

"Equally important, the order unambiguously violates numerous anti-discrimination and civil rights laws and will surely invite litigation that will invalidate it.  These lawsuits would number in the tens of thousands and not only paralyze the legal system, but stop all federal hiring due to legal uncertainty.  No more park rangers will be hired until the courts decide if a job applicant claiming to be victimized by systemic racism can be put at the front of the line.  If these mandates are declared illegal — highly likely — the federal government may be liable for billions in compensation to white males who lost their jobs to recently protected minorities." . . .

"Dalbir Bala, who lives in the Winnipeg area, bought a Ford F-150 Lightning EV in January for $115,000 Canadian dollars (around $85,000 U.S. dollars), plus tax. Ford said the Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) on the vehicle is $77,495 U.S. dollars.

"He told FOX Business he needed the vehicle for his work, but also wanted something suitable for recreational activities such as driving to his cabin or going fishing. He also wanted an environmentally friendly vehicle as owning one is "responsible citizenship these days."
