The political games that were (and are) played. You can gain insight into a lot more than just Steve Bannon by diving into the files. You see the NYC people in these circles in a fish bowl. You gain insight into the world.

There are people who play the political game well (and note that doesn’t mean they are admirable). People like Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton— people with charisma and ruthlessness bundled into one. I have always said Stephen K. Bannon (“SB”) is one of those people. That one day, we will look back and see him as he was— a major player behind the scenes for the populist movement globally. When diving into the Jeffrey Epstein (“JE”) files, it becomes clear SB wasn’t at it alone.

With the latest drop of the Epstein files, we get a deep and precise insight into Bannon’s very close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. You can read their text messages back and forth, and see Epstein giving Bannon bits of intelligence, information on people and talking points. JE prods him to focus on certain things. They exchange articles and interview links. They debate things. They read a book together— In the Closet of the Vatican.

The way they talk, it’s as if the world is their chess board. Bannon’s lack of integrity shines through, and some of the conversations get interesting.

Diving into these files can leave your head spinning. And I am in complete agreement with what Andy Frisella says below:

He is right. If the men of this country can’t come together to protect women and children— I mean what do we have left? We deserve whatever befalls us.

My dive into the files was less focused on the atrocities with women and children that are abundant, but I was focused on the players. Who are these people? Plenty of professors (Mark Tramo from UCLA making the headlines this week) and notable attorneys. Even Noah Tepperberg (Founder of TAO and LAVO and husband to the founder of MWH) makes an appearance for tea and exchanges some calls with Epstein; apparently, Tepperberg used to go to his house. Lots of people make cameos. If you live in NYC, I dare you to plug in the name of a company CEO or president or law firm partner and see what you find. Harvard seemed to be a playground for these people and a repeat destination.

There are a cluster of emails about Dominique Strauss Khan:

“Dominique Strauss Kahn
According to the on-line publication a new report prepared for Russian Prime Minister Putin by the Federal Security Service(FSB) says that former International Monetary Fund (IMF) Chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn was charged and jailed in the US for sex crimes on May 14 after his discovery that all of the gold held in the United States Bullion Depository located at Fort Knox was missing and/or unaccounted for.” (From the June 18, 2011 email titled DOMINQUE STRAUSS-KAHN ARRESTED, NOT BECAUSE HE RAPED A MAID, BUT BECAUSE HE HAD EVIDENCE US HAS NO GOLD IN FORT KNOX.)

Ed Epstein who wrote a book on DSK is constantly in touch with JE. They talk about investigations, facts, protection and the Euro. Ed Epstein waxes poetic about “what ifs” and compares the situation to the Gwyneth Paltrow movie Sliding Doors.

But when I saw the Bannon texts were there for the reading— I decided to dive in. I was curious. Curiosity killed the cat; but lucky for the cat— it has nine lives.

Things spotted (including screenshots of you want to read for yourself. I encourage you to. It’s a window into the mind of the person and the tone of the relationship. Blue is JE because this is his iMessage account. Gray is Bannon.):

A former Soros partner is a sponsor of Steve Bannon’s (SB) work.

They like to joke about Christianity at times which is so opposite of how SB presents on his shows. I was intrigued by this. I always find it interesting when people use religion to manipulate the public and present so “sober” and “righteous.”

Bannon does “ops” for a living.

They discuss “taking people down” but playfully. George Soros keeps making appearances. They discuss the Soros son takeover.

There is discussion about Anthony Scaramucci (the “Mooch”). No one likes him. The texts between the Mooch and JE feel very desperate energy. Like Scaramucci was dying to be friends with this pedophile.

French intelligence is mentioned and is a theme. (They also love to trash women’s looks when they look disgusting. Rich).

Another theme are the friends and family these people have in the media and how this is used to kill and manipulate stories. Another theme that emerges throughout are the JE connections with people at The New York Post (we won’t call them reporters because that is a disgrace to the profession). It’s also no mystery how, when JE died, The NYP was the first to get the photos and the scoop. The connections seem to run deep.

They discuss media having its privileges to mask sources. George Soros continues to pop up into the story.

Pelosi doesn’t escape criticism. They are always ready to drop everything and meet with one another— even in other countries. Constantly coordinating schedules.

Noam Chomsky and Woody Allen are always lurking in the background and meeting up with these two. Lots of dinners.

Lula and Bolsonaro make cameos throughout the text thread as well. Why was Chomsky in a prison with Lula? Wtf.

Both express annoyance with Roger Stone who apparently likes to talk.

They are heavily invested in the governments in Europe. Sometimes, they talk about Boris Johnson as if he is in their pocket. They can tell him to “stand down” or shut up.

JE weirdly refers to the U.S. as “big daddy America”.

Macron is discussed at length. “The ministers of the elite.” Unclear why French government and intelligence keep coming up. Apparently, it’s important.

China weaves in and out of the picture.

They often discuss Trump like someone they check and have control over. He was out of check here…

JE is focused on SB “WINNING” and is annoyed by how “busy” he is.

The last texts in the dump (there may be more) stop about a month before JE’s death. Did SB know they were going to arrest JE? Did JE? (There seems to be very little these two didn’t know).

These files are a wild read. The way people talk about events and others really makes you wonder what is actually happening. As always, the one thing confirmed is that nothing is what it seems. There is also so much that is real that is manipulated or killed in media newsrooms to control a narrative. It’s a wild world, filled with disgusting people (which we knew).

This is my own summary and opinions, but go read it yourself if you don’t think this is real. I always think it’s better to look for yourself. I have found that you can lay everything out in front of people, and they still choose to believe what they want to believe.

The thing about these files is— it’s not just about what is in front of us but everything left between the lines to decipher. It’s not just about those committing crimes but those who knew what was happening and were complicit in their silence or participated in manipulation and benefitted socially or economically from their relationship with this man. People who used their jobs to advance these actions and agendas. There are so many layers to this, and we are only at the surface.

The rational human wants justice. Where do we even begin? How do we achieve justice when the people in power of these institutions are all over this thing, either facilitating or being pawns? I agree with Andy Frisella that something has to be done. It’s time to stop with partisan politics. The truth is the two parties are replete with psychopathic perverts.

It’s a matter of character. And it feels we are at step one, seeing who people around us and “over us” really are.

“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time,” Maya Angelou said.

Now is not the time to look away.
