The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Interesting chain of tidbits coming to light.

Item: several weeks ago, Commerce Sec Howard Lutnick talked about living across the street from Epstein, how creepy Epstein, and his house, were. Observing the scandalously light sentence Epstein received in Florida, in 2008, Lutnick speculated that Epstein had been video taping his guest's "encounters", and traded incriminating videos of Florida officials for that light sentence.

Item: the folks on TYT extrapolated Lutnick's statements, to speculate Epstein was running a "honey pot" for a foreign intelligence service. Reportedly, intelligence officials agree the best way to get leverage over someone, is with a honey pot. TYT has had a burr in it's kazoo, for some time, about Israel, and fingered Mossad as the most likely intelligence service that Epstein was working for. I said, at that time, "don't overlook the FSB", due to Trump's generally servile posture wrt Putin.

Item: Maxwell's father had very close relations with people at the highest levels of the Israeli government, and Mossad.

Item: the arm twisting session with Lauren Boebert was in the "situation room", with the US Attorney General, and the head of the FBI. Why would those two, of all the Trump butt kissers in the administration, be the ones to twist Boebert's arm about suppressing information about Epstein, if "national security" is not at issue?

Item: tonight, TYT was reporting on other people in those e-mails, specifically former Israeli PM Ehud Barak, a former head of Mossad, and a Mossad agent.

So we have both principles of a sex trafficking ring with close connections to the Israeli government, and Mossad, who get people from both sides of the aisle in incriminating positions.

Maybe TYT had it right, a few weeks ago, that the US government, and many other people of influence, has been completely penetrated by Mossad?

Embarrassing, isn't it?

Does Mossad have the expertise to get inside a city jail, murder Epstein, and make it look like suicide, if they think Epstein might become unreliable?
