The administration went silent on the Epstein files because they and their friends are in it a bunch. Just as much as their enemies. Trump's first administration and Biden's administration both sat on the files. Trump's second administration campaigned on releasing them, then tried to conceal them until Massie and others legally forced the issue. They hope just lying about it and ignoring it enough will make it go away. That strategy worked for them for other issues in the past. But this time they've fractured part of their base away, like MJT. It's swamp all the way down. View quoted note →

Lyn do you have any thoughts on some of the stuff regarding bitcoin and block stream in the files? This guy touched literally everything
That's true. While Trump's base wanted the files out, he himself was mixed on the issue (knowing he's in them). He was hedging from the start. From 2024 when asked if he'd release the Epstein files: "Yeah, yeah, I would. I guess I would... I think that, less so, because you don't want to affect people's lives if it's phony stuff in there".
An administration and DOJ was never going to release on their own no matter who was president. Even in the past JFK files were released in early 90s by an act of Congress. An act of law required DOJ to release and quite honestly they weren’t prepared to — which is why the dump has been a bit messy and taking a long time. But huge, huge kudos to reps Khanna and massie for the political will to do this. Congress has lots of power if they want to use it. The problem is it’s almost always usually captured by the president if theres a slight majority to his side. Massie and Khanna just have 0 fuck left to give (especially massie). And then may of the good ones just usually leave.

This isn’t even all the files. Which means the truly awful shit is still in reserve.
It also points out the dangers that Jewish supremacist ideology poses to The West and civilization as a whole. Jewish supremacism is a clear ideological thread binding all the people within these files together. There are references to a war between Jews and non Jews. The slur goyim is used hundreds of times. These Jewish supremacists refer to non Jews as cattle. They make note of their belief that they have better souls than gentiles. Do you have any comment on this Ms. Alden? Would you like to outright condemn Jewish supremacist ideology? Why or why not?
Nothing is going to happen. Laws made by men are fake. Just like the money; it's fiat. The mask is off, nothing changes. I'm sorry. Democracy. Constitutions. Laws. Money. It's all pretend. The only thing you can do wake up. Or don't. That's it. Most people won't. And I understand. View quoted note → image
I like to keep my distance from federal-scale politics, and view much of it as Kabuki theatre/Kayfabe for the mass-audience. But (and in that light) I find the pov interesting that Trump orchestrated his “falling out” with Elon Musk at least partly so he could ask Musk to post that famous tweet about Trump being a major figure in the Epstein files. Trump clearly uses Trump Derangement Syndrome as a ring-in-the-nose for millions of people (much like other such issues like Abortion have been used by both parties for decades). The Epstein files were being continually stonewalled, especially by liberals - UNTIL Musk hinted that Trump would be damned in them. And like clockwork suddenly Dems cannot get them posted fast enough. If Trump was actually indicted in, why weren’t at least the specific references posted years ago? Plus, Trump has repeatedly said early on that he wasn’t dumb enough to get caught-up in the whole Epstein honey-pot. So I personally can’t believe theres anything substantial in the files about him, or insiders would have used that info to destroy him years ago. So I like to toy with the idea that Trump worked with Musk to re-vitalize the drive for disclosure by simply tweeting that exposing those files would be damning to Trump. It’s an elegant stroke (much like how Trump subjugated the entire globe by simply Tweeting tariffs into existence, and inciting every world leader to bend the knee to him to avoid such). At any rate, what is inarguable is that now, suddenly, all the people who pointedly ignored those files for years have bent the knee and are screaming loudly for their disclosure. And only and solely because Musk promised them that disclosure would destroy Trump.
Political suppression functions like a short volatility strategy. They collect premium in the short term, but the accumulation of hidden liabilities creates infinite downside convexity. The fracturing of the base is simply the margin call.

The swamp is filled with blood libel juice.
I want to think there are degrees of association. The successful will hobnob, that's the way it is. It could be that 4 dimensional chess dictates keeping the attention in other areas until it's advantageous to talk about it. And to what degree is there a relationship? I haven't been keeping up, so if there's a link to the Epstein For Idiots, I may take a peek. 🙂
I think Lyn is on the verge of a epiphany that democratic socialism and worker Co-Ops are next step in societal organization. Judging by the books and posts coming out. I’m not saying democratic socialism and worker Co-Ops is the final destination or end all be all. But, Lyn is far too smart, especially with engineering specialists, to not see the dynamic advantages. AI will be the catalyst that highlights the current systems flaws.
Also his son His vp The people he put in charge of fbi And basically his whole cabinet was out there saying release the files …. Then look what happened to Dan bongino and cash Patel Every one of these people did a complete 180
