Barr was actively working with the cabal trying to impeach Trump and his dad was a CIA guy who moonlighted writing pedo books and hired Jeffrey Epstein for his first job.

Anyone who told Trump to hire that guy should’ve been fired.


This is the thing: anyone appointed to such a position is necessarily compromised. The primary lesson of the 1992 election was that the left wing of the CIA won out over the right wing; every election since has been a variation of this theme.

The true winner of the Cold War was the Deep State. Presidents may come and go but the Deep State rules in perpetuity.

The Crimes of Mena Arkansas

MENA, Ark. -- What do Bill Clinton and Oliver North have in common, along with the Arkansas State Police and the Central Intelligence Agency? All probably wish they had never heard of Mena.

President Clinton was asked at his Oct. 7 press conference about Mena, a small town and airport in the wilds of Western Arkansas. Sarah McClendon, a longtime Washington curmudgeon renowned for her off-the-wall questions, wove a query around the charge that a base in Mena was "set up by Oliver North and the CIA" in the 1980s and used to "bring in planeload after planeload of cocaine" for sale in the U.S., with the profits then used to buy weapons for the Contras. Was he told as Arkansas governor? she asked.

"No," the president replied, "they didn't tell me anything about it." The alleged events "were primarily a matter for federal jurisdiction. The state really had next to nothing to do with it. The local prosecutor did conduct an investigation based on what was in the jurisdiction of state law. The rest of it was under the jurisdiction of the United States Attorneys who were appointed successively by previous administrations. We had nothing -- zero -- to do with it."

It was Mr. Clinton's lengthiest remark on the murky affair since it surfaced nearly a decade ago, in the middle of his long tenure as governor of Arkansas. And while the president may be correct to suggest that Mena is an even bigger problem for previous Republican administrations, he was wrong on just about every other count. The state of Arkansas had plenty to do with Mena, and Mr. Clinton left many unanswered questions behind when he moved to Washington.

Anyone who thinks that Mena is not serious should speak to William Duncan, a former Internal Revenue Service investigator who, together with Arkansas State Police Investigator Russell Welch, has fought a bitter 10-year battle to bring the matter to light. They pinned their hopes on nine separate state and federal probes. All failed.

"The Mena investigations were never supposed to see the light of day," says Mr. Duncan, now an investigator with the Medicaid Fraud Division of the office of Arkansas Attorney General Winston Bryant. "Investigations were interfered with and covered up, and the justice system was subverted."

The mysteries of Mena, detailed on this page on June 29, center on the activities of a drug-smuggler-turned-informant named Adler Berriman "Barry" Seal. Mr. Seal began operating at Mena Intermountain Regional Airport in 1981. At the height of his career, according to Mr. Welch, Mr. Seal was importing as much as 1,000 pounds of cocaine a month.

By 1984, Mr. Seal was an informant for the Drug Enforcement Agency and flew at least one sting operation to Nicaragua for the CIA, a mission known to have drawn the attention of Mr. North. By 1986, Mr. Seal was dead, gunned down by Colombian hitmen in Baton Rouge, La. Eight months after Mr. Seal's murder, his cargo plane, which had been based at Mena, was shot down over Nicaragua with Eugene Hasenfus and a load of Contra supplies aboard.....

A handful of posters on this forum say obsessing over Epstein is a symptom of terminal TDS.

The truly deranged are those who fail to acknowledge the obvious reality that Epstein was a high profile intelligence operative who was allowed to brazenly run a sex trafficking operation involving minors with near impunity for decades on end with complicity by our nation’s own wholly corrupted national security apparatus.


Even Cindy McCain knew that score:


Cindy McCain: ‘We all knew’ about Epstein....



Bondi is not even Trump’s worst AG. Yet based on the expectations that Trump’s second term was going be different this time around, she certainly has been one of the biggest disappointments.
The girls are victims but the parents are to blame for allowing their daughters to participate in this sad mockery.

Les Wexner: the name itself sounds like a criminal mastermind out of the Superman universe. Was Victoria’s real secret not fringy lace but Deep State supply chains?

:crazy:
TLDR Summary: Jeffrey Epstein helped Leslie Wexner repurpose CIA-linked Iran–Contra aircraft from running guns to running lingerie. It may sound like a straight-to-VHS, low budget 1980s spy/titillation thriller — except it actually happened.

In 1986, a commercial aircraft was shot down over Nicaragua. The subsequent investigation into the downed aircraft became known as the Iran-Contra scandal.

The plane was owned by Southern Air Transport, a commercial airline originally founded by the OSS after World War II. By the 1980s, Southern Air Transport functioned in effect as a CIA proprietary airline and was used to facilitate the illegal shipment of weapons to Iran, with profits diverted to fund the Contras in Nicaragua.

Jeffrey Epstein played a significant role in transitioning the airline from a freight carrier to a passenger carrier. Alongside other key figures, Epstein navigated complex financial systems, employing shell companies and banking networks to obscure the flow of money generated by these illicit transactions.

This complex narrative intersects with a broader web of political and financial scandals from the 1980s and involves prominent historical figures, including clothing retail magnate Leslie Wexner and Mossad asset Robert Maxwell. Together, these connections illustrate how Epstein’s business activities were intertwined with elite power players deeply embedded with intelligence, financial and political networks.

Epstein’s involvement in arms trafficking and money laundering indeed points to a broader pattern of elite business complicity in covert government malpractice. Nevertheless, naysayers — whether in the mainstream media, government, or on this very forum — will continue to argue that these connections demonstrate nothing more than Epstein’s status as a financier serving clients from the highest levels of government, business, and entertainment circles.


Epstein, Israel, and the CIA: Jeffrey Epstein helped Leslie Wexner repurpose the CIA’s Iran–Contra planes from arms smuggling to shipping lingerie...

…When Ghislaine Maxwell was interviewed by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche in July, she was asked whether Epstein ever had any contact with intelligence agencies. Maxwell gave a vague response about Epstein’s business of “finding money” in Africa in the 1980s: “I think he may have suggested that there was some people who helped him,” Maxwell said. “He showed me a photograph that he had with some African warlords or something that he told me…That's the only actual active memory I have of something nefarious -- not nefarious... but covert, I suppose would be the word.”

In parallel to Iran–Contra, from 1984 to 1986, Southern Air Transport flew hundreds of trips inside Angola, with some runs connecting the capital city Luanda to Dobbins Air Force Base in Marietta, Georgia. Angola’s northeastern diamond-mining towns, cut off by unsafe roads and railways, were largely accessible only by air. SAT obtained a lucrative contract from Angola’s state-owned mining company to carry equipment to the mining towns, and carry diamonds out. While making trips to the mines, the SAT planes were suspected of air-dropping weapons to the rebel group UNITA with South Africa’s support.

South Africa profited handsomely from the Angolan civil war. Johannesburg became a booming re-export hub for illicit Angolan diamonds, as UNITA-controlled “blood diamonds” were under UN embargo and could not be exported legally from Angola. By the late 1990s, UNITA earned billions of dollars by smuggling diamonds to Johannesburg, where they re-exported with false certificates-of-origin and shipped onward to London and Belgium. A UN report estimated that over $1 million worth of diamonds were smuggled out of Angola per day in 2001.



Angola was the mirror image of Iran–Contra. As in Iran, Saudi money was the “bank” for Angola’s war. As in Nicaragua, trade in contraband (diamonds rather than drugs) was backed by an off-the-books arms trade. An associate of Saudi Arabia’s King Fahd testified before Congress that Saudi aid to UNITA was part of an informal deal with Washington in exchange for access to mobile radar surveillance systems. He recounted being told that tens of millions of dollars had been funneled through Morocco to train UNITA fighters, and claimed Prince Bandar had planned to sell oil to South Africa. The Saudi government has denied these claims.

In Columbus, SAT’s collapse was written off as the result of “financial troubles.” But before declaring bankruptcy in 1998, half of its fleet of Lockheed Hercules planes were sold to Transafrik, an Angolan airline based in the United Arab Emirates. SAT resumed its missions supporting diamond mining operations, as Angola’s civil war raged on. Decades later, Epstein bragged to journalists about making his fortune out of “arms, drugs, and diamonds.”

Noted libertarians on here, are all anti-Trump (or heading there). Yet they voted for him 3x. Prime example in this thread SC Libertarian. After I posted Ron Paul was anti-Trump, he went on some bizarre screed about Ron not supporting trannies.


What are you talking about? You are the one who indicated that Massie and the Pauls are possibly onboard with the transgender agenda because they are libertarians.

SC directly addressed a key nuance missing from your comments about the Libertarian Party platform: the fact that many prominent libertarians hold positions on the tranny agenda that differ greatly from the official LP plank. The Pauls and Massie aren’t by any stretch of the imagination pro-trans:

Rand Paul is facing backlash for his anti-trans comments equating gender-affirming surgery to 'genital mutilation'

Ron Paul’s policy on gender transition | Should people under the age of 18 years old be able to receive gender-transition treatments? No, children should not be allowed to make irreversible life decisions.


Thomas Massie voted in favor of the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025, banning males from competing in women’s sports. Massie likewise voted in favor of the Protect Children’s Innocence Act, MTG’s bill banning child mutilation under the guise of “gender affirming” medical care.

While the Libertarian Party indeed supports tranny rights, this does not automatically imply that every individual libertarian or libertarian-leaning politician adheres to the same position. If you want to criticize the Libertarian Party, grab a ticket and get in line behind me.

I am a libertarian and I think the LP is a woke joke. Yet as SC indicates, libertarians are not a monolithic voting bloc agreeing on every issue.

As if that somehow makes him pro-Trump??



Well, I was pro-Trump as long as Trump was an anti-neocon. When Trump first emerged as a legitimate candidate in 2015, the very neocons who have now infiltrated Trump’s administration were deriding Trump as a deranged demagogue:

Rubio Slams 'Isolationist Candidates' in Foreign Policy Speech….

Yet I welcomed Trump as a battering ram to crack the castle gates of the failed bipartisan foreign-policy consensus that defined the reigning political establishment in the Potomac Beltway. I certainly haven’t changed my ideological bearings or political principles — yet something clearly has changed.

I indeed haven’t abandoned MAGA — it is much of MAGA that has abandoned me. Trump would do will to remember that neocon fatigue is a large part of the reason many citizens supported him as candidate in 2016.

When the castle’s former gatekeepers rebrand themselves as the insurgents, it’s worth asking who actually captured whom? As for me, I will continue to be MAGA when Trump has been relegated to Netflix documentaries and cable tv nostalgia panels.

:usa:

Rubio is a neocon clown and a wholly owned Deep State asset.

Rubio was inserted into the Tea Party to neuter it and is now doing the same to MAGA.

Too bad this man wasn’t elected President:

Imagine being stupid enough to think that the Lew Rockwell and Pat Buchanan crowd is pro-trans. Those two groups are the base of support Ron Paul had in 2008 and 2012. The Trump crowd is so consumed with eliminating paleoconservatives and right-wing libertarians they'll straight-up lie to achieve their goals.


And gleefully revel in that ignorance.

The Plot To Destroy Our Children By Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.




…The tranny movement contends that some people think they are really men, but trapped in a female body, or really women, trapped in a male body. We are talking about “men” and “women” as people understand these terms in ordinary language. There are a few people who are born with abnormalities that make them hard to classify, but they aren’t what the tranny movement is primarily interested in.

The trannies then take an odd step. They claim that if someone thinks intensely he is trapped in the wrong body, then he really is trapped in the wrong body. This doesn’t make sense. It actually shows that the person is more delusional than someone who just has this feeling occasionally. If someone thinks he is a cat or a dog and is obsessed by this thought, this doesn’t make him a cat or a dog. It just makes him crazy.

The trannies go further. If someone really is trapped in the wrong body, he should be helped to make changes to his body that will remove some of the characteristics of the body he rejects. For example, if a man thinks he is really a woman, he can be injected with estrogen and castrated. Of course, doing these things won’t make him a woman. A castrated man is a castrated man, not a woman. But the trannies say that if you don’t help the person make these changes, he might be unhappy.

Maybe he will. But it doesn’t make sense to try to change reality, which can’t be done, just because some people will be unhappy if you don’t. And what happens if the people who “transition” are still unhappy? What if they are sorry they tried to change and want to undo the transition? That has happened in many cases.

We haven’t reached the worst part yet, and this is the main topic of this week’s article. The trannies think that children can feel trapped in the wrong body and they should be encouraged to “transition.” The children are subjected to “sex education” classes in which they are taught this evil nonsense. If they show the slightest susceptibility to this indoctrination, they will be put in touch with “doctors” who will mutilate them.

Children, as everybody knows, go in for fads. If a few people claim to have “gender dysphoria,” as it’s called, the contagion can spread, and soon many children will be pushed into actions that violate God’s law and the law of nature.

Parents have a duty to protect their children, but the diabolical teachers keep their actions secret. They don’t notify the parents and tell the children to keep what is done to them secret. If the parents protest, they can be marked down as guilty of a “hate crime” and have their children taken away from them.

Let’s look at some examples of these programs. According to a story in the Washington Post, “Some classes use the book ‘I Am Jazz,’ the story of a transgender girl. ‘I have a girl brain but a boy body,’ she says. ‘This is called transgender. I was born this way!’

A lesson meant for first grade called “Pink, Blue and Purple” comes from a curriculum called ‘Rights, Respect, Responsibility’ developed by the activist group Advocates for Youth. It tells students that gender is not a fixed attribute.

‘You might feel like you’re a boy even if you have body parts that some people might tell you are ‘girl’ parts,’ the teachers are told to say. ‘You might feel like a girl even if you have body parts that some people tell you are ‘boy’ parts. And you might not feel like you’re a boy or a girl, but you’re a little bit of both. No matter how you feel, you’re perfectly normal!’

“Dr.” Jessica Fish is one of the leading advocates of mutilating children. She openly calls for this:” “Transgender and gender diverse youth who have access to medical services that affirm their gender, things like access to puberty suppressants or puberty blockers, and who are able to participate in school activities that align with their gender identity, such as sports and bathroom usage, have better overall mental well being and mental health than transgender youth who are not able to access these services and supports,” said Dr. Jessica Fish, deputy director for Research and Evaluation with the UMD Prevention Research Center and co-author of the statement.

“Puberty blockers, a reversible hormonal treatment that temporarily delays puberty, result in improved mental health outcomes for transgender youth, including reduced levels of depression, anxiety, and suicdality, as well as improved body image.”

I said that these programs are kept secret from parents, and unfortunately there is ample evidence for that. Let’s cite a “liberal establishment” source, the New York Times, January 23, 2023: “Jessica Bradshaw found out that her 15-year-old identified as transgender at school after she glimpsed a homework assignment with an unfamiliar name scrawled at the top.

When she asked about the name, the teenager acknowledged that, at his request, teachers and administrators at his high school in Southern California had for six months been letting him use the boy’s bathroom and calling him by male pronouns.

Mrs. Bradshaw was confused: Didn’t the school need her permission, or at least need to tell her?

It did not, a counselor later explained, because the student did not want his parents to know. District and state policies instructed the school to respect his wishes.

‘There was never any word from anyone to let us know that on paper, and in the classroom, our daughter was our son,’ Mrs. Bradshaw said.

The Bradshaws have been startled to find themselves at odds with the school over their right to know about, and weigh in on, such a major development in their child’s life — a dispute that illustrates how school districts, which have long been a battleground in cultural conflicts over gender and sexuality, are now facing wrenching new tensions over how to accommodate transgender children.

Given those complexities, Mrs. Bradshaw said she resented the fact that the school had made her feel like a bad parent for wondering whether educators had put her teenager, a minor, on a path the school wasn’t qualified to oversee.

‘It felt like a parenting stab in the back from the school system,’ she said. ‘It should have been a decision we made as a family.’

The student, now 16, told The New York Times that his school had provided him with a space to be himself that he otherwise lacked. He had tried to come out to his parents before, he said, but they didn’t take it seriously, which is why he asked his school for support.

The public school that Mrs. Bradshaw’s son attends is one of many throughout the country that allow students to socially transition — change their name, pronouns, or gender expression — without parental consent. Districts have said they want parents to be involved but must follow federal and, in some cases, state guidance meant to protect students from discrimination and violations of their privacy.”

Let’s do everything we can to bring these monstrous programs to an end!

This x 1000. It is ludicrous to suggest the shooter was politically aligned with Marjorie Taylor Greene or Thomas Massie.

Both MTG and Massie have publicly opposed the transgender agenda, including sponsoring and supporting legislation to block gender-transition treatments for minors. Their voting records on this matter are not ambiguous and they both repeatedly have taken positions that transgender activists strongly oppose.

If the shooter was motivated by grievances tied to transgender issues, it would be irrational to assume alignment with two lawmakers who have actively worked against that agenda. This makes no logical sense.

But of course we aren’t discussing a rational person but a violent troon. If this shooter was actually a post-op troon, that means he had chopped off his manhood and replaced it with a hatchet wound.

In any event, attempting to apply logic to a person under the thrall of this inherently violent ideology is a fool’s errand. This accusation collapses under the weight of it’s own logic and only someone suffering from Massie or MTG derangement syndrome would promote it.
