In case you haven’t noticed. This is a multinational crime syndicate masquerading as a government.
THIS IS A TRANSNATIONAL CRIME SYNDICATE MASQUERADING AS A GOVERNMENT! “Hiding in Plain Sight “ by Sarah Kendzior Mueller's speech is a blueprint laying out how the Trump team, backed by an organized crime syndicate, and abetted by transnational alliances that would have been unthinkable a decade before, rose to power by blurring the lines between white-collar crime, mafia activity, and state corruption. It describes with uncanny accuracy the economic devastation ordinary Americans experienced from 2008 onward, and attributes it to unfettered criminal corruption that Mueller promised the FBI would combat-but it did not. Under the leadership of James Comey, who replaced Mueller as FBI head in 2013, the FBl removed Mogilevich-the dangerous Russian mafia head who had been ancillary to Trump since the 1980s-from the Ten Most Wanted list in December 2015 and replaced him with a bank robber Comey never explained why Mogilevich's removal was warranted when Moglevich was still participating in the same extreme criminal activity that had compelled Mueller to name him a threat so profound "he will remain [on the Ten Most Wanted list] until he is captured" just four years before. The removal of Mogilevich was highly unorthodox: he was only the seventh top-ten fugitive since 1950 to be removed from the list prior to apprehension, death, or dismissal of charges. The FBI's official explanation was that Mogilevich "no longer poses an immediate threat to the public" and that he is residing in a country without an extradition treaty. Yet when the FBI originally placed Mogilevich on the list in October 2009, they noted that "what makes him so dangerous is that he operates without borders.” The FBI did not name Mogilevich's current location, but his unnerving power is that, in many ways, it no longer matters. Writing Trump's history is a bizarre exercise in parsing layers of propaganda. There is the propaganda written in real time by rump's press lackeys (sometimes with anonymous quotes that… “Hiding in Plain Sight” by Sarah Kendzior “… were later revealed to be from Trump himself, often made under the alias "John Barron", a real John Barron was the author of a 1974 bestselling book about the KGB. There is the investigative journalism written in real time on Trump's nefarious financial affairs by journalists who mostly have since died. And there is the media morass of 2015 and 2016, when investigative journalists from Trump's past were censored, threatened, or generally kept out of the news - while journalists of Trump's present ignored blatant crimes in favor of an obsessive focus on Hillary Clinton's emails, a misalignment of priorities that was stoked by the FBI itself. I remember in 2016 thinking that this parsing of spectacle and propaganda and searching for documentation of the obvious is, ironically, the exact exercise I had to perform as a doctoral student examining materials from the former Soviet Union. It doesn't feel ironic anymore: American and former Soviet operatives are a linked entity, and prestigious institutions manufacture history in a way that would make George Orwell shudder and Roy Cohn proud. In 2017, The New York Times published an article insinuating that Trump and Manafort had no real relationship until 2016, when Manafort fortuitously appeared in the Trump Tower elevator to charm him, like characters in a rom-com from hell. The article did not mention that Manafort had known Trump since the 1980s, had lived in Trump Tower since 2006, and was linked to Trump through Cohn, Stone, and a mafia syndicate intertwined with the Kremlin. To grasp why a Pulitzer Prize-winning paper would cover up that story - an accurate and far more interesting story - in favor of bland falsehoods is key to understanding how Trump operates.”

This is especially disgusting considering the ENORMOUS PUBLIC RECORD of just what Trump and Epstein were up to in the summer of 1994. The NY media covered it all, in real time. And yet we still pretend this is some “mystery.” Read a book!
“Hiding in Plain Sight” by Sarah Kendzior.
“Hiding in Plain Sight” by Sarah Kendzior It's hard to read this in 2019 knowing that it took officials over two decades to lock up Epstein-and that he died in prison before his accusers could confront him in court. It's hard to read it like it's hard to see Harvey Weinstein and many other Hollywood abusers living large and walking free. It's hard to read it as someone roughly the same age as Epstein's victims, a 1990s teenager with my own tales to tell, knowing how my words would be devoured and disbelieved if I ever dared speak. It's hardest to read it now that my daughter is the same age as Jane Doe, and I can't tell her that nothing has changed since the 1990s, because things have changed: the alleged rapist of a thirteen-year-old is now the president. The exploitation of women in 1990s tabloid culture reached its apotheosis under Epstein, and no one covered it in real time. When they covered it after the fact, in the 2000s, it was with amusement and disdain for the victims. When they cover it now, in 2019, it is with the knowledge that the complicity of their profession is part of what enabled Epstein, a convicted pedophile sex trafficker, to cover his tracks. For those still wondering why holding Epstein accountable is inextricable from holding Donald Trump accountable, I ask again: What was Donald Trump doing in the summer of 1994? Excerpts of "Jane Doe v. Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, complaint in the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York," give us one possibility: 7. Plaintiff [Jane Doe] was subject to acts of rape, sexual misconduct, criminal sexual acts, sexual abuse, forcible… “Hiding in Plain Sight” by Sarah Kendzior …touching, assault, battery, intentional and reckless infliction of emotional distress, duress, false imprisonment, and threats of death and/or serious bodily injury by the Defendants that took place at several parties during the summer months of 1994. The parties were held by Defendant Epstein at a New York City residence that was being used by Defendant Epstein at 9 E. 71st St. in Manhattan. During this period, Plaintiff was a minor of age 13 and was legally incapable under New York law of consenting to sexual intercourse and the other sexual contacts detailed herein. NY Penal L § 130.05(3)(a). [...] 9. Plaintiff was enticed by promises of money and a modeling career to attend a series of parties, with other similarly situated minor females, held at a New York City residence that was being used by Defendant Jeffrey Epstein. At least four of the parties were attended by Defendant Trump. Exhs. A and B. On information and belief, by this time in 1994, Defendant Trump had known Defendant Epstein for seven years (New York, 10/28/02, "I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy, Trump booms from a speakerphone. 'He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it-Jeffrey enjoys his social life?"), and knew that Plaintiff was then just 13 years old. Exhs. A and B. 10. Defendant Trump initiated sexual contact with Plaintiff at four different parties. On the fourth and final sexual encounter with Defendant Trump, Defendant Trump tied Plaintiff to a bed, exposed himself to Plaintiff, and then proceeded to forcibly rape Plaintiff. During the course of this savage sexual attack, Plaintiff loudly pleaded with Defendant Trump to stop but with no effect. Defendant Trump responded to Plaintiff's pleas by violently striking Plaintiff in the face with his open hand and screaming that he would do whatever he wanted. Exhs. A and B. “Hiding in Plain Sight” by Sarah Kendzior 11. Immediately following this rape, Defendant Trump threatened Plaintiff that, were she ever to reveal any of the details of the sexual and physical abuse of her by Defendant Trump, Plaintiff and her family would be physically harmed if not killed. This court document was made available to reporters multiple times during Trump's 2016 campaign. Despite Trump's long-documented history of misogyny, sexual assault, and threats, the press generally avoided the Trump and Epstein allegations, and when they did cover them, they often designated them as irrelevant gossip. One exception was Lisa Bloom, a high-profile attorney who said she was alarmed by the lack of coverage. She wrote in The Huffington Post: In covering a story, a media outlet is not finding guilt. It is simply reporting the news that a lawsuit has been filed against Mr. Trump, and ideally putting the complaint in context. Unproven allegations are just that-unproven, and should be identified that way. (Mr. Trump's lawyer says the charges are "categorically untrue, completely fabricated and politically motivated.") Proof comes later, at trial. But the November election will come well before any trial. And while Mr. Trump is presumed innocent, we are permitted—-no, we are obligated—to analyze the case's viability now. Bloom saw the case as viable, particularly given Epstein's documented crimes and the fact that Jane Doe maintained she had a witness, named in the lawsuit as Tiffany Doe. In fall 2016, Bloom agreed to represent Jane Doe in court. A press conference was scheduled for November 2, 2016, in which Jane Doe was going to tell her story in the same way dozens of other women had told their stories following the release of the Access Hollywood video showing Trump bragging of his history of sexual assault. The "grab 'em by the pussy" video gave credence to claims that… “Hiding in Plain Sight” by Sarah Kendzior were once dismissed. But the press conference never happened. According to Bloom, Bloom and Trump's alleged victim were both threatened with violence and Bloom's computer was hacked. Jane Doe, Bloom reported, was terrified into silence, and dropped her lawsuit on November 4, four days before the election. The Epstein case, the allegations that Trump raped a thirteen-year-old, and the threats toward those who tried to expose them are a shocking story, the sort of high-profile horror that we should expect to dominate cable news shows and inspire books. But much like other aspects of Trump's life that cross from the scandalous to the criminal, the media cowered until it was too late. James Patterson, the bestselling novelist, wrote a quick Epstein biography that received almost no press when it was published in fall 2016. It took #MeToo to get Epstein back into the headlines, and then back into the courts—where both the sex trafficking and the deals with the US government to cover it up are being reexamined. But a large portion of his story remains omitted. Epstein did not run his operation alone. He had an assistant named Ghislaine Maxwell. Ghislaine is the daughter of Robert Maxwell, a wealthy British publisher who died under mysterious circumstances after falling off a yacht in 1991. His family, and several biographers, claim he was murdered; the police at the time ruled it an accident. Maxwell was also alleged to be an operative for Mossad. His service to the Israeli government began in 1948, when he fought to aid Israel in the War of Independence with a unit from his native Czechoslovakia. His role as an alleged Mossad agent was not revealed until 1986, when a former employee of Israel's Military Intelligence Directorate, Ari Ben-Menashe, identified Maxwell as an agent.

THIS IS THE POINT EVERYONE IS MISSING!!!

Look at who he has welcomed to The White House! Dictators and Billionaires.
THIS IS A TRANSNATIONAL CRIME SYNDICATE MASQUERADING AS A GOVERNMENT! Sarah Kendzior “Hiding in Plain Sight” “They spent the postrecession era investing in US banks, corporations, real estate, social media companies, and nongovernmental organizations, to the point that the head of the Hudson Institute's Kleptocracy Initiative, an American organization dedicated to exposing the threats of kleptocratic regimes to civic life, quit in protest when it was found that the Kleptocracy Initiative was secretly bankrolled by Ukrainian-born oligarch Len Blavatnik. The Trump administration is a transnational crime syndicate masquerading as a government. The foundation of this edifice was formed not when Trump took office, but decades before, through prolonged engagement with criminal or criminal-adjacent actors linked to hostile regimes, in particular, the Kremlin and its oligarch network.”

We’re all aware that this is just an echo chamber, correct? A year ago I thought it might matter. It doesn’t. We’re just scared and screaming into the void.
Sarah Kendzior - “Hiding in Plain Sight” “You know what's coming but you don't know how to stop it. There's no logic to this orchestration, there's just raw power, and you, with your stripped-down city and low-down life, seem to have the exact wrong amount: enough to make the wrong people angry, not enough to make the right people act. When you write, you imagine the censorship of your material as you go, wondering how many times the word "allegedly" will get slapped on these cold hard facts. You realize this is how your writer friends in autocratic states tell you they write their works too, and you try to…” Sarah Kendzior - “Hiding in Plain Sight” “shake the mind-set off, but it's impossible. Despite your sanctimonious struggle, it still got you, it's inside you: you've arrived. You wonder if-should things go the way they tend to go for people like you at times like these—if the new deep fake technology will alter you in your digital afterlife, so that you never said the things you said and never did the things you did. You wonder whether your children will see it and if they will be able to tell truth from fantasy when you are not around to teach them any-more. You cannot believe people still talk about the legacy of leaders like it constitutes leverage-like the future is going to be real, like the continuum hasn't been disrupted, like the ability to erase the past were not easier than ever before. You wish you lived in a time when people were more haunted by the past than by the future. The television tells you not to stress so much, there's a plan, take it easy, there's a plan, of course officials would never just let this happen, of course they hadn't been letting it happen for your entire life.”

We are being ruled by a transnational crime syndicate that includes high ranking politicians from both sides of the aisle. We must demand accountability and, if they do not comply, they will NOT receive my vote ever again. cc: @booker.senate.gov @kim.senate.gov
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. House Set to Vote to End Shutdown Despite Late Controversy Bill would fund government into January after record-length impasse, while provision on potential $500,000 payouts to senators angers some lawmakers. In a late wrinkle, House lawmakers took issue with a provision that allows senators to seek damages of $500,000 if federal investigators collect their phone records without their knowledge as part of an investigation. The provision is seen as designed to help eight senators whose records were obtained as part of former special counsel Jack Smith's probe into Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Democrats and Republicans alike attacked it. Several GOP lawmakers indicated they didn't want their objections to derail reopening the government and instead would try to kill the provision with separate legislation afterward. Johnson said Wednesday that Republicans would introduce stand-alone legislation next week to try to repeal the provision. THIS IS A TRANSNATIONAL CRIME SYNDICATE MASQUERADING AS A GOVERNMENT!

I’m almost afraid to ask. Haven’t listened to your latest Q&A, so perhaps you address that there. I just know the nightmares you warned of pale in comparison to what we’re experiencing now and what lies ahead. I’m sure Peter Thiel is involved as well.
