Your daily reminder:
Americans CAN stop this anytime without being arrested or punished in any way for their actions. STOP SPENDING on all but essential items and shift as much of that essential spending to local businesses. No need to stop eating out, just eat in locally run family eateries (NOT corporate chains). It’s about strategic spending decisions. It’s all about common sense, but if you need more detail, click here for my broader thinking.
There is no case to be made for saying ‘there’s nothing we can do’ It really is very simple, and I would urge you to encourage everyone you know to become part of a sustained act of strategic economic disengagement, because I guarantee just by this most simple of actions, you can unlock the gate on the road back to real American values. A sustained 3-4% drop in consumer spending will occur if Americans have the collective and sustained patriotic determination to say ‘enough is enough’.
I had intended not to write a piece today because I remain submerged beneath an ocean of deceit that has challenged my lifelong perception of what I believed government to be. There was a belief in trust between the citizen and those in power to facilitate the ‘pursuit of prosperity and happiness’. It seems it’s all nonsense, and more fool us for believing any of it.
Having left the Epstein sex trafficking and abuse to others who are better equipped to deal with it, given my lived experience of a young daughter whose life was changed forever by sexual abuse as a minor, I have decided instead to focus on the bigger picture.
As I sit here now, I have never felt so sickened by the geopolitical Pandora’s box that is the wider operation by the ‘Epstein class’. To suggest this is just about Epstein would be to totally miss the point of what this is really about.
It’s about the willful disregard for sovereign statehood by a cabal of the wealthiest people on the planet, in order to create a world in which governments are merely proxies for global corporations seeking to consolidate power into the hands of a chosen few. The sole aim is to mine wealth from the bottom and the middle to leave behind global economic slave colonies. It goes to the very heart of why we are seeing a concerted campaign across Western democracies to dismantle 80 years of progress. The US has become the headquarters for the promotion and facilitation of global fascism.
I have had to reorient my thinking because even my inquisitive mind could not comprehend the extent of collusion among governments, their security services, and organised crime. Hidden strategic alliances have led to drug and arms trafficking as well as people trafficking for slave labour and sex. What is truly shocking to me is that it appears to have been born from Anglo-American cooperation before Epstein was even part of this dystopian cabal for which he became head concierge. It certainly makes sense that the UK, US, and Israel trifecta persists to this day. This helps explain why the UK government is so reluctant to act against US or Israeli interests, even in its own defence, as demonstrated by its subjugation to tariffs and the supply of intelligence to Israel in the Gaza conflict.
This is about a historic invisible global corporate shadow organisation operating outside the rule of law, for whom nothing is off the table when it comes to profit. It’s clearly a joint enterprise headquartered in the US, which has successfully operated in the shadows until the Trump campaign made the fatal error of campaigning for the release of the Epstein files. Trump’s base was fed the lie that this was about paedophile Democrats, thinking that they could manage the selective disclosure of information which pointed to high-profile Democrats and their donors. Even now, as the wheels are falling off of what we perceive to be their operation, do NOT be deceived into thinking that the sex trafficking and sexual abuse even scratches the surface of what’s really going on. You would be a fool if you think the exposure of Jeffrey Epstein has put a halt to any of it.
The decision to make it a campaign issue has proven to be a significant miscalculation by those pulling the strings behind the curtain. The experiment has escaped the lab. They are now scrambling to control the narrative in what has now become a political arterial bleed amid a media feeding frenzy they can’t control. The aim was to protect any co-conspirators, but pressure from Democrats to see the unredacted documents has intensified now that the co-conspirator list is public. I’m pretty sure the White House cleaners are being kept busy cleaning ketchup from the walls as Trump’s grip on the narrative slips away.
It’s evident that Trump is becoming increasingly frustrated by his inability to control the narrative. This was so evident in the behaviour of Pam Bondi in hearings on the matter this week. She arrived with her ‘kill book’ and no intention of answering any questions. Her job was simply to spout talking points regardless of the questions asked. I have to tell you that the response on the international stage simply served to further isolate the US as a country on the edge of fascism.
This situation is getting out of control because Trump can’t control what’s happening now in the UK in terms of the experiment escaping the lab on this side of the Atlantic. The Telegraph Newspaper, along with the Daily Mail, is part of the right-wing propaganda news network in the UK, but even they are refusing to play ‘nothing to see here’ with this story. In an article today, Isabel Oakeshott, one of the most tenacious, ambitious and ruthless investigative journalists in the UK, is now on the case of the man formerly known as Prince Andrew. If you know about what happens in the UK when people like Isobel get hold of stories like this, it’s not the American careful approach; journalists like her take no prisoners.
This WILL be unravelled, and members of high society, the government, and the aristocracy are fearful of where it will eventually lead. It is truly ironic that this scandal is far from merely reminiscent of the Profumo affair (a major political scandal that rocked the UK government in 1963); it is one and the same thing, where the threads lead back to the involvement of Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, Robert Maxwell, who was the Rupert Murdoch of his time. Once the British press takes a position, it is fearless, and there is no downside to taking a position against Andrew Windsor. This is something Trump has no control over.
As stated on Tuesday, I decided to take a couple of research days to try to set aside the feeding frenzy that is the Epstein files and give some thought to how I can make a useful contribution to the conversation. What has become evident very quickly, is that this involves corruption on an epic scale for decades. It’s about the relationship between big business, organised crime and government security services, which forces one to step outside the norms that have shaped our lives to understand what is an alien world to most of us.
A number of phenomenal journalists have dedicated their working lives to trying to get to the bottom of what most people would see as the stuff of Hollywood movies. I believe this should not be about me reinventing the wheel by trying to reframe what others, far more skilful than I, have already spent careers researching. I believe readers are better served by my providing a curated path through the historic work of those who are no longer with us, together with more contemporary research by the likes of Whitney Webb, that proves the historic connection to what is exploding in the news and social media feeds beyond the shores of the US.
What I am going to attempt to do is to use commentary and opinion writing to try to thread the needle and present a coherent, well-reasoned assessment using my thoughts backed by the work of many journalists who have covered the last 80 years of politics. As usual, I will provide detailed attribution so you can apply your own critical thinking to assess my ideas and cross-reference them. No one person should be so arrogant as to assume they have the ability to explain what has happened to bring us to this moment.
This involves a longstanding cabal made up of the ultra-wealthy and the political elite that, over the decades, has brought us to where we are today. I can assure you that this goes way beyond party politics. This has been a joint enterprise of a geopolitical magnitude that goes to the very heart of who we are as a global society. It is a true testament to the often quoted statement that ‘power corrupts’
The reason I wanted to write this preface is that if you look at Trump’s new National Security Report and the repositioning of US foreign policy, I think it’s reflective of what was already going on within the ‘Epstein class’. It’s as if what once was happening behind the scenes is slowly becoming US foreign policy under Trump in terms of the regime preparing the ground for American corporate domination and economic colonisation.
US Middle East policy lines up perfectly with what has always been going on in the shadows. The thing that’s very evident in Epstein's operation is that Israel makes no secret of the hold it has on the White House and US lawmakers. For a long time, it’s been suspected that the World Economic Forum is the global corporate policy shop that prescribes economic policy to sovereign nations, but I would contend that the WEF is simply a sanitised shop front for the Epstein class.
I’ve included below a YouTube clip that, in my view, is essential to orienting yourself in terms of understanding just how big this is. Whitney Webb has done some absolutely outstanding work on this subject. If you want evidence of just how well she understands the Epstein class, watch in awe at the names and dates she is able to retain while providing the historical context for the questions she asks. I, for one, am truly in awe of her work. The podcast is 2 hours and 30 minutes, so it’s a long piece, but it's an essential watch if you want to understand the scale of the problem. I get that people are time-poor, so maybe listen to a section each day for a few days?
The whole reason this is difficult to unravel is that far too many of those who have fallen foul of their fight club rules seem to come to an unexplained end. There are no examples as far as I can see of whistleblowers, just a list of funerals. I have to admit I'm a little concerned about taking on this project, but there are times in life when you have to set aside fear and do the right thing. I believe this is part of the political tapestry of what is happening in real time in the US at the moment, so I will highlight these connections as we go. At this stage, I have no idea how many articles it will take to cover this in the level of detail required, but I’m all in if it’s something my readers want to read?
Woke is a good thing
"Woke," when aligned with empathy and compassion, is defined by many as being aware of social, racial, and political injustices, aimed at fostering a more caring, inclusive, and equitable world. It emphasizes understanding the human behind every story, listening deeply, and actively working to alleviate suffering.
• Awareness & Action: Originally rooted in awareness of racial injustice, "woke" has evolved to represent a broader consciousness of marginalized groups and systemic inequalities.
• Empathy as Strength: Proponents argue that empathy—feeling the pain of others—is not weakness, but rather a strength that guides a desire for a fairer society.
• Compassion in Action: While empathy is feeling the suffering, compassion is the desire to relieve it, and kindness is the action taken to do so. Supporters see this mindset as leading with love and humanity.
Ultimately, being "woke" is a conscious, ongoing effort to recognize one's own biases and to care for the well-being of all people, regardless of their background.
Now, who could possibly oppose such a beneficent course of action? Possibly only those who are filled with anger, hatred, jealousy, envy, paranoia and ignorance.
Say it loud,
I’m woke
And I’m proud!
THEY should try it.
I spoke to my husband about this. His take was, "It's a scary bad world out there. There's nothing we can do about it." "Oh yes there is!" I said. "We can hit them in their pocketbooks."
