Another spectacularly murky political saga comprehensively brought to life, from Nathan Pinkowski…with details about hypocrisy, dishonesty and moral bankruptcy sufficient to power a major city.

“The Real Watergate Scandal;
“A myth and its legacy.”—

Yep, the scandal and its modern-day reincarnation. ..

Yes, it’s depressing to see sometimes.

Indeed you were well ahead of Taibbi on this, as was I as you could see by my comments on those posts, for what that’s worth.

Just like how the rest of the world is just now discovering Somali fraud in Minnesota despite all of Powerline’s work since 2021, I suppose.

Anyway, with respect to Epstein, you saw it then and now Taibbi sees it, but the crew at Instapundit had the same information we all had and chose to chase clicks instead….

Other recent “jokes” of note:
“Why would Australia give a non-citizen on a Visa, SIX gun licenses?
“And why would he be given six licenses when his son has known links to ISIS?”—

‘BBC Can’t Admit the Obvious. “The Australian Broadcasting Corporation insists that the Bondi Beach terrorist attack had nothing to do with religion”’—

I was writing much the same as Taibbi about the Epstein case quite some time ago: see this as well as this.

Just saw an image on Youtube–apparently now taken down–of one such house, bright Christmas lights covering their entire lawn, and their next door neighbor’s Christmas light display consisted of one word in large white illuminated lights on his lawn–DITTO.

TO BE FAIR, THEY REPORTED IT EXACTLY AS THEY MEANT TO: Matt Taibbi: The Jeffrey Epstein Saga is the Worst-Reported Story of All Time.

The Instapundit commenters, including Reynolds himself, spent years fanning the Epstein pedophile-blackmail conspiracy flames, and there’s nothing Taibbi is saying that hasn’t already known for a very long time now.

Let’s think about this for a moment, because–from a human perspective—couldn’t any entity which can–or is–interfering with our human “agency”–our abilities, our actions, plans, and the normal direction of our human progress–naturally be seen as a “threat” to us as humans, as a species?

Such Aliens in essence “taking over,” and nudging, pushing, or even forcing us humans in a particular direction, down a particular path, one dictated by these Aliens, and what they want–what they might think is “best” for us humans, as these Aliens might define “best”–and closing out other paths we humans might prefer to take.

Suppose we humans don’t want to be changed/uplifted/enlightened/directed in the manner Aliens might want us to be?

What if, to us humans, the path chosen by these Aliens for us looks more like slavery than benign mentorship?

Sure looks like such a situation could be seen as a “threat” to us humans.

What then?
