Brah, there isn't a Plan B because Epstein was the system working.
What the elites are scared of is that this thing could kill the entire Neo-Liberal Order utterly, the way the discovery of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact by Estonia basically killed the Soviet Bloc.
There is no plan about what to do if Neo-Liberalism dies, everywhere, all at once, over the course of 3 months. Even China doesn't have a plan for that because they are tied to it. Even India doesn't have a plan for that because they have so many investors.
I am okay with it because the Neo-Liberal Order should be destroyed for this very reason, and it's not worth keeping it alive, even in a minimized state when it's so evil and directly set against the people it claims to protect.
But, if you're somebody like Trump, he wants to save some of those institutions. He wants Harvard to make him a statue, he doesn't want it on fire. He's not a revolutionary. And this is an existential threat to the Neo-Liberal Order, and there is no Anti-Leftist order out there to fill the power vacuum. None. Not even MAGA is big enough to fill the void. There is no plan B when the IMF closes.
The Epstein Files are like a nuclear bomb with a lit fuse, and that's why it's scaring the shit out of everyone who was 'on side'. They are not okay with it going off. I am, but only because I have faith that we'll survive the blast and re-build from scratch.
I meant a plan b for the white hats, as in machinations going on behind the scenes to take down the enemies without setting off the nuke, but you're right that applies to the other side too. I generally assume the bad dudes are like Sith Lords and have multiple layers of xanatos gambits to handle any contingency. (just like my heckin space wizards movie!) Let's hope you're right, although it doesn't matter if we don't even use our bombs in the first place.
Truth is, even the bad guys are too stupid to save themselves. Our enemies really are morons. There is no plan b for them either.
But there's no plan b for the white hats. Best they've really got is JD Vance, Tucker Carlson, and the Head of Paypal gerry-rigging something together at the last minute. The Cathedral is burning down faster than it can be captured, and putting the fire out just means that the priestly class will purge the village when the fire is gone. There's no church to replace the Cathedral yet with, there's no way to save the Cathedral from the flames, and there's no way to stop the priests from attacking if you save it.
The best I've described it is that we are a society run by school-shooters. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are the Vice Principles of Columbine High. How do you save the school? Effectively, you don't. You have to use a combat bulldozer to basically flush them out, but there's no other schools, and we can't suspend classes. It's going to be messy because we've not been able to build an anti-parallel system first. That's why Trump is trying to "Build" his way out, instead of approaching the government like Milei in Argentina. Peronism is better to deal with than what we have, because Peronism is less entrenched and self-destructive than Fabianism.
