Everything is a distraction from the Epstein files. They’re packed full of info that would BE the revolution if it came out. We’re talking Israel organizing it all with Trump and Epstein partnered at the top of the sexual blackmail ring that usually involved minor victims. We’re talking forty prominent Democratic Party leaders and twice that number of Republicans. But then beyond that the leaders of Banking and Industry. The whole corruption scheme of the Panama and Paradise Papers is within the same framework of Epstein’s corruption activities.
