And the Epstein situation is not just sex — though there’s plenty of that — it’s money laundering through Russian real estate purchases on a grand scale. The super wealthy — worldwide — are the “deep state”. Always have been through all history.

When I read about the “ashen faces” and heard Dump make clear that he expects Zelenskyy to surrender Crimea and all of the Donbas, I knew that Putin had grabbed Dump by the balls and told him in no uncertain terms that he was in charge and Dump would do as commanded. My first thought was the komoromat but any of your five scenarios is absolutely possible. Dump is so worn out physically and mentally he won’t last another six months, so Putin has to expedite his plans. Get ready!

Jack,

May I suggest you attach a link to a short clip(s) of those ashen faces as they're walking out of the meeting? That way we can all actually see what your commenting on. Craig

It wouldn't take much for Putin to shut off the flow of his money coming in. That would scare Trump more than anything else. He doesn't care about anyone but himself.

I’m an Occum’s Razor guy. I’m betting it’s Kompromat and that the Epstein situation has been blended into that for years.

I’m inclined to believe it’s much worse than exposing 🍊💩itself, only for the simple fact that its sycophants could simply say “ Enough! You’re gone” to it. I’m thinking it’s about an attack on the US itself, whether nuclear, or individuals. That’s putin’s m o, and I would be walking out ashen, too.

If it IS about 🍊💩 and fellow pedophiles being exposed, then shame on every one of them,if they protect it, but if they expose it, they’ll be heroes in the eyes of the world.

… or a “” mistake”” … like leaving copies of a ‘secret agenda’ in the copy machine…

Apparently the entire agenda too. Names, phone numbers, the rooms where they met. A serious security breach left on a public copier, found by hotel guests. The complete incompetence of this regime is probably the scariest part of all. Not what Putin said or did, but how they will handle it from here on out.

Excellent post, Jack. I believe at least one of these scenarios is true, if not a compilation of several of them. When you get the time, please look into this: https://electiontruthalliance.org/

This is so far removed from my little world, yet I have a question.

The current president and young JD have, I think, made many enemies, both inside and outside the beltway, as well in North America and elsewhere.

How likely is it that if one or both of them are brought to their knees, an actor unrelated to Pooh-tin did the deed?

Thank you.

All this from the faces. I get it. And you are firing up all of us. But I see not much mention of these points in your post.

1. The European countries and Canada and Mexico leaders’ role here. They have tremendous resolve and would take on a weakened (you have to admit that is happening in Russian economy and military) Russia. They would also align with something else (#2).

2. Who will be the leader of the rebels? Newsome? Mayor Pete? Pritzker? O Bama ? When it’s blue vs red who will lead the blue? We desperately need a leader WHEN secession and rebellion take place. NOT IF. WHEN. A leader to unite behind. EU and others will help as they have done in history.

I agree that there should be someone to lead.

Newsome seems to be on top of all things trumpy! He is polished, smart, brave, moral, daring and looks distinguished. He can be my leader. Anybody else on your list is welcome to show us what they can do that Newsome hasn't!

Jack.

You frightened me.

Thank you.

Because my "go to" when I'm frightened is anger.

Anger motivates me.

Your article slapped me into reality.

You helped to prevent me from going to the unhealthy place of resignation (something with which I helped my own patients battle over and over).

I'm feeling new energy and determination to continue to fight.

Yep - my pick has been #1 all along, since the Steele Dossier days actually. But rolling it out in front of the Pedo President’s team is a new twist. He was already panic stricken regarding his inability to put the Epstein files in the rear view mirror. Now the knowledge of the breadth of his treachery is potentially known. This will be confirmed if his core team begins to resign to “spend more time with family.” My second pick would be #5 but the threat of a nuclear war has always rung hollow to me. I do not see the Pedo President’s master, Putin, ensuring his and Russia’s destruction.

I believe that number one is the most likely for several reasons: the “Steele dossier” wasn’t prepared by some social media influencer, it was done by a company, Fusion GPS, that conducts sophisticated background investigations. Next, human source intelligence in high places doesn’t come easily or with audio and video that you can post on the internet. The fact that some of Fusion’s sources were taken out or “disappeared” tells me they got too close. As you have stated, developing the kind of information it takes to make people turn ashen is collected over a long period of time — 47 has been a useful idiot for decades. There were many rumors in Atlantic City back in the 1990’s that he was heavily involved with the Chinese mafia both in Canada and Macao.

As to Jeffrey Epstein, he got off easy. He should still be rotting in a maximum security prison somewhere. Ghislaine Maxwell gets a sweet deal because she’s got something to hold over 47. I personally believe Putin said something along the lines of “You think you plugged the leak because you got to Maxwell? I can make her disappear, who do you think disappeared her boyfriend?” Then he passed a tablet across the table, showed the missing video where Epstein gets murdered. Swished to the next screen and showed some photos that would make most people vomit (hence the ashen faces), swished again and showed a page of financial records that would result in hundreds of felony charges.

Those drip, drip leaks. I believe they’ve already started. Individuals here on Substack have written some posts about Michael Wolf and photos Epstein showed him, rumors that Maxwell is about to get the same sweetheart work release deal her boyfriend got, and rumors that even 47’s staff can’t deny the decline and incompetence. The drip will become a stream and then the dam will break.

Every accusation is a confession with Trump. Putin has the dirt and the events in Alaska confirm it.

The book written by Christopher Steele-Unredacted, is worth a read to learn more about Putin and the tools used to compromise our current president. MI6 has a long track record of credible work in studying the Russian system.

Sorry I had to delete my comment; it was sent without being completed…. What I meant to say was that I believe that knowing/seeing how Trump cannot be trusted with top secret information International Intelligence in NATO changed its methodology, using less transparency. Because spies are everywhere (we know who) NATO no longer talks; some secrets are not for all to know. This may be why Trump is pushing (for Putin) for Ukraine to give up NATO membership. As a member Ukraine will have protection and inside information as well. Many Americans think NATO countries won’t be in a position to combat enemy military. How would they know? You can’t make assumptions on lack of information.

In the end who really knows what NATO’s real plans are? I believe that the group is in the process of learning to work over and above the US due to lack of leadership and inability to hold secrets, especially because there is no real leader in the first place.

Kompromat! Wasn’t the Steele Dossier, presented to Obama ( on his way out), then given to Trump, the first sign of impending threat?
