@FBIDirectorKash and @dbongino are LIVID

Why?! "He killed himself, he killed himself."

This whole thing is a fucking joke.

This is an issue the American people care deeply about.

Strange...that's not what Daddy Trump said!

The only way I'll ever accept that he killed himself is if Hillary talked to him in that lost minute of footage. Some say she threatened to spread her legs and that's all it took.

It seems that Trump, or his camp, is pushing out a new round of talking points to MAGA influencers that Bondi is the bad guy in a behind-the-scenes fight with Dan Bongino and Kash Patel. As if we didn't see all four of them blatantly lie about Epstein in the last two weeks.

That was my first thought when the rumors started that Dan was angry as thinking about leaving. If he had done it a couple weeks or a month ago, and said it was because the Epstein stuff was being covered up, I would have said he still had credibility. After what happened, though? Nope. Taking part in the coverup and then saying "I didn't like the coverup" doesn't work.

Scapegoat? She seems to be the actual culprit, or at the very least the most cowardly cover-her-ass careerist in the group to allow it to explode in this miasma of failure.

In my mind the calculus is simple: Trump ran on putting America First and took a bullet for it, but the Israelis yanked his leash as soon as he touched the Epstein material.

Why would he go along with that when he has "nothing to lose"? Because they told him that if he reveals the Epstein files then our system as we know it will collapse and he won't be able to enact the rest of his agenda. Trump made a pragmatic (wrong) choice and decided Epstein wasn't worth losing deportations, tariffs, two genders, destruction of USAID, etc.

Is Trump himself implicated? I don't think so because he consistently pushed Epstein for years, unprompted. To push for the disclosure of himself as a child molester as some kind of power gambit, even as a bluff, would be the most insane thing anyone has done in politics.

The other darker possibility is that he was always some kind of zogbot Manchurian candidate and he fully intended to pull the football from Charlie Brown the entire time. The reason I don't believe this is because he was 100% going to be killed on live television if it weren't for God turning his head.

I definitely believe Trump would not reveal anything if he thought the harm to the country or his plan was too great. I also recall something about how he wouldn't do anything to a former president like arrest them. I could be wrong there, but I think he holds the office in too high esteem and wouldn't want to damage it (further).

I think the upside is this has really caused a firestorm and we may see some good out of it. I'm willing to wait a little bit to see what happens, though I'm pretty pissed at how its been handled.

Probably the single best assumption about this I've read on this forum. There's so much obvious shit that people post it's obvious normally serious people are obviously emotionally freaking out.

I think it's obvious "something" has happened behind the scenes. I don't know how much family these people have but (to me at least) the obvious thing for the intelligence agencies is just too threaten their families.

I think a far more likely scenario is something like this: Pam Bondi is at her desk and a non descript man in a suit delivers a manilla folder full of files and says "This is the files on Epstein that concern you" and the top file is a list of all her families banking login details, pin codes, personal electronic data. And a photo of them sleeping in their bed with a man pointing a gun at them. Or something along those lines.

In case the implication isn't clear, if they don't play ball they will kill their entire family.

Why does Bondi go along with it, or not try to defend her rep here?

I sure hope there's a Plan B.

Yes based on everything that's happened in the past decade I find that even less likely than the zogbot Manchurian candidate angle. Either way I don't think it could possibly be something as simple as "oh boy he's on the list guys!"

I don’t think it’s even a matter of “Trump would have to be a crazy bluffer.” If Trump was implicated in the Epstein stuff, why did that get sat on for the entire past decade of him getting targeted by every political institution and hit job and leak they could throw at him? What would be the point of collecting blackmail if no one is going to use it on someone like Trump? Even if you take the most cynical view of “Trump doesn’t care for Americans, he’s just a narcissist that wants to become the counter-elite so he can go in the history books as a president,” surely putting a leash on potential rogue elites is half the point of a blackmail operation?

The only way one can answer that is by saying this whole thing has been an Israeli (or whoever you want to say has the files) plan from day one to… replace their fairly stable, compliant, captured parties with Trump? To say that Trump is still more compliant with certain globalist aims and ideals than would be preferable is understandable. To suggest that he and all the attendant Overton Window shifts his movement has brought is actually more in line with their wants than the Hillary Clinton DNC vs Jeb Bush GOP paradigm he dismantled is certifiable.

If someone says to me "It's because Trump is on the list" I know the person genuinely has trouble connecting with reality in major ways. It's actually funny because it implies that Trump presumably that he was on the list. You know, sometimes you forget the details of trips you take, the ones to those secret islands where you fuck kids. Happens to us all right?

To be honest, her track record made her an easy scapegoat.

Kash at least did a few things to the ATF to help gun owners and Dan wasn't around as long as them both and at least signal boosted FBI finding and saving missing kids.

Bondi if I remember right is the longest serving of the three and other than Fox appearances, I REALLY can't name anything notable she's done.

Not only that, it has been confirmed by a lot of people both inside and outside the Admin that stuff like this and stunts like the Binder fiasco from a few months ago were all her idea. I think there is also something to be said that ever since they got access a lot of the others had been backing off and seemingly starting to temper expectations, while Bondi was the one going on the news and making it all a big spectacle that she was in charge of.

Basically, the two most effective of the cabinet are probably RFK Jr and Tulsi as they're more dismantling them piece by piece on the inside than loudly shouting what they are doing.

That is more effective with DOGE as turns out, telling the American public what their money was wasted on and saying you are going to cut it is VERY effective to gain support.

Saying that, part of me is now thinking she tried to copy Elon's and DOGE's success for herself but that doesn't translate to her department and what she is SUPPOSED to deal with.

It may just be my personal opinion, but I also think Rubio has been shockingly effective as the SecState. He has done a pretty good job of helping to actually make the dismantling of USAID effective and as permeant as possible, and a lot of the foreign policy success has been on his back (especially in Latin America). But he has also been just doing what he should be doing instead of going out and grandstanding as well.

My point exactly, I rate him same as Tusli it's just RFK Jr has been very effective at ALSO blocking bad acts by the agricultural secretary.

The point is that you can ONLY grandstand in the executive position. Elon's was unique as the American public was BEGGING for a public audit of the government that was as transparent as possible and the only other one that comes close is Tom Homan but that worked to encourage self deportations. In other departments that's a negative to being effective.

Tulsi got bullied by the Zionists in cabinet to lie about the status of Iran's nuclear program only months after announcing they were no threat.

So far it seems like a limited engagement instead of a full on Middle East quagmire clusterfuck.

But it could be argued that her blatant about-face to support Israel's aggression was on the level of the Bongino/Patel Epstein lies.

It could be argued that she helped provide thanks to her position the intel of where to do that strike in Iran so that they could successfully seperate from that conflict after.

I did seem at the time EVERY power was trying to drag the US into it. I don't think the expected that kind of strike and it fucked up their plans. Now thanks to court rulings, she has more leverage to purge jobs so that'll be the true test.

Agreed. Men of principle would not have lied about this, or covered it up, or obfuscated it in any way. This is one of the easiest topics to stand firm on: don't mess with kids. But, mainstream right wingers always seem to cave when it comes to the Epstein list. I wonder why? I'm sure it will remain a mystery for the ages.

Yeah, people want to believe Bongino was probably threatened into helping the coverup, I just don’t know about all that nowadays. Bongino was never really censored on YouTube, he was allowed to be the voice of the people because the people were being groomed to trust him, just like the people (on the right) were groomed to trust Trump, and even Patel was getting on big podcasts like Tim faggot Pool to spout off rhetoric about holding the corruption accountable before he was selected for his current position, probably because the j’ws who run this shit show decided a couple of their shabbos goy freemasons would be excellent candidates to convince the people that real change is coming IF ONLY those goy can takeover the FBI, which was part of the plan months or maybe even years before they were installed in leadership positions at the FBI. Who fuckin knows how crazy it really is, our entire reality seems scripted at this point, it’s not messy like you’d expect it to be if the will of the people did get a win here and there, where a legit wildcard gains power and then tries to do some real damage to the underlying power structure. Nobody is trying to damage that power structure, even though we keep seeing one “far right” figure after the next take control in various nations in the western world, those wildcard changes keep happening and yet the problems persist, meanwhile nobody of note in politics is imprisoned for the obvious criminal shit they’re ALL involved in, just as you’d expect to see if the entire thing was scripted, and they’re just giving you hope in the form of controlled opposition.

The false savior control mechanism is perpetrated in a few ways.

  1. The string pullers prop up weak men that they can leverage and control. These men already hold milquetoast positions, like dispensationalism, right wing feminism, vote harder [current year], neocon warmongering, race blindness, military interventionism, etc., and aren't a serious threat to globohomo.

  2. The string pullers groom their own people for those positions, and prop them up. They say the right things to garner support from the dissident right, but once they get enough support from genuine people, they slowly reel them back into the false choice political dichotomy (Republican vs Democrat), which is exactly what Trump did.

  3. The string pullers, through their control of most of the media apparatus, and through their own curated false saviors in the alternative media sphere (like Tim Pool), give all attention to the false saviors they want to prop up in other areas, like the political sphere. This helps to condense support onto those false leaders, and by extension of the corrupt and curated focus on only those false saviors, results in a defacto censorship of genuine and strong leaders, who are actually a threat to the string pullers. Those genuine leaders struggle to garner support because they get very few interviews and views, and the normies are much less likely to use the more fringe and less viewed alternative media, especially if they're tagged as radical/far right, racist, and Nazi.

  4. Through the censored and curated media coverage, only the false saviors garner support and funding, both from genuine people and from the string pullers. Most of that funding comes from the latter, though. However, given how people's wealth is being reduced by inflation every year, they have little money to give, and decreasing by the day, so are less able to fund genuine leaders who offer solutions out of the (curated) box. Right wingers who stray outside the system are also much more likely to get their lives ruined, which also serves to decrease their monetary wealth and influence, both for the leaders and the everyday people who could fund them.

  5. The string pullers are grooming and controlling numerous false saviors, in every area of society they need to control, at all times. They usually only prop up one or a few at a time to control the people, and use them for as long as the people trust them. Once that trust is broken they prop up the other false saviors they've been keeping in a lower priority, but still slightly visible, presenting them as the new "savior" to condense support onto. They have a small army of false saviors all set up, who are trained, controlled, funded, and curated, to be offered to people at a moments notice, as the need requires.

  6. If a false leaders garners enough support, they can produce a small movement (like MAGA or Bernie Bros). The other, backstage, false saviors have smaller movements. Just like with the curated and controlled false choice political dichotomy (Republican vs Democrat), the string pullers get the various groups, through their false saviors, to fight amongst each other. Since it's all being controlled from the top down, those little but constant battles among these groups is entirely wasteful energy for the genuine people in those groups, because it always results in zero effective change. That warring between various controlled factions also serves to condense more support among gullible normies, who think "this leader and his supporters are fighting for me", becoming more likely to be drawn into that same curated movement, under the flag of that same false savior, enthralled in that same fake war, wasting their time and energy on people, movements, funding, and endeavors that lead to nothing but more globohomo.

  7. If genuine people get duped enough they become demoralized. They call it quits and drop out of the arena. They no longer involve themselves or make their voice heard. They've become politically neutered, which perfectly helps the string pullers who don't have to sway them one way or another. These demoralized people still have to eat and pay their bills, so they still work inside the confines of the curated, controlled, and corrupt system which is hurting them, so by their own work to help feed, protect, and clothe themselves and their loved ones, they continue to uphold the very system they hate.

  8. Genuine and strong leaders who get enough support are threatened, blackmailed, libeled, sabotaged, doxxed, debanked, imprisoned, have their lives ruined, or murdered. This happens less so with leaders and supporters who still advocate for voting, as voting is controlled and very little can be accomplished inside politics once it becomes corrupted, except for specific localized areas. For strong leaders and supporters who advocate for action outside the confines of the corrupted system, like going full revolution and hanging all the corrupt people, they're strongly resisted by the system, which labels them terrorists, White supremacists, Nazis, racists, feds, glowies, etc. They're often attacked in the streets by globohomo's own paramilitary forces, like Antifa, or just murdered by federal agents, like in Waco, Ruby Ridge, or the Oregon wildlife refuge standoff.

All of this is happening right now. Every mechanism and level of control is being levied against us, from every sector of society. The only way to escape this system is to recognize it for what it is, reject it, and form our own groups, our own media, our own leaders, and vet them all, with truth and fervor, and support them, to the death, on our own. That's the parallel system we need to fight back. Anything less than that is a losing strategy.

I don't think she's a scapegoat. She's clearly a bad egg, and if Trump/Vance wanted it covered up, they could've just not mentioned it. Trump clearly expected to be able to release the files and reap a huge PR reward. Someone's clearly told him he's not allowed to do that, and time will tell if he's able to navigate that effectively.
