Victoria's Secret Documentary: The Epstein Puzzle Comes Together

The new documentary Victoria's Secret: Angels & Demons was one of the most revealing Epstein docs to date in that it finally touched on the Israeli/Mossad aspect of the case as well as Epstein's ties to Leslie Wexner, the man who financed him under very strange circumstances & is still alive and walking free.  

Up to now the only person with the guts to speak freely about anything relating to the anti-gentile mindset of Epstein & his pals was Maria Farmer*, one of the first Epstein victims to contact the FBI in the '90s and be ignored.  She stated that he and Ghislaine attended exclusive Jewish Country clubs that refused entry to non-Jews as well as other disturbing claims.  There have been rumors that Epstein specifically avoided abusing Jewish girls & women, targeting non-Jewish whites because he viewed them as disposable trash (and wasn't attracted to Blacks or other ethnicities).  I'm not sure if there's a term for this, uhh, Jewish supremacy but the Hulu documentary claims Epstein wanted to create a master race by paying his abuse victims to bear his children once they turned 18.  

Maria Farmer on Epstein's Jewish Supremacy

Yes, you heard that right:  a Jewish man wanted to create a "master race".  The same language used by Nazis during the Holocaust.  While this is clearly only the mindset of a depraved handful of elites in the Jewish community, there definitely needs to be a name for it akin to anti-Semitism.  Because it's alleged that Epstein wasn't alone in this view.  Ghislaine Maxwell also shared this disgust for non-Jews, as did those in their elite circles.  While Jews only make up 2-3% of the American population, they comprise 30% of American billionaires & those in the Forbes 400--proof that being a religious or ethnic minority doesn't necessarily preclude one from attaining financial success or power.  One man in the documentary said Wexner's mother forbade him from having grandchildren with a 'Shiksa' woman that he was in love with in his younger years which left my mouth agape.  Les's mom Mrs. Cabakoff-Wexner served as Secretary-Treasurer at L Brands (now Bath & Body Works, Inc.) for many years.  

(I want to make perfectly clear that I despise anti-Semitism & am aware that these abhorrent views are not prevalent among a majority of Jews.  I don't buy into paranoid conspiracy theories about Jews controlling the media, banking system or other institutions.  While I'm generally agnostic-atheist in my views, I'd probably choose Judaism if I had to pick a religion myself.  What I'm talking about applies specifically to a handful of extremely wealthy, powerful & twisted elites who have literally been confirmed of attempting to create a master race & targeting those outside their own in-group for abuse.  If that doesn't disturb you, you're the problem).  

The other disturbing part of this documentary that was casually mentioned between rather boring segments about the changing cultural attitudes toward women's body image was that 700 of Epstein's blackmail tapes containing footage of world leaders, politicians & media moguls engaging in sex acts with minors are in the possession of an ex-police officer who is currently exiled in Russia.  His name is John Mark Dougan and his life was threatened after he created a forum where anonymous posters could share information about police corruption in Palm Beach County, Florida.  He was facing 35 years in prison for leaking the names & personal info of FBI & CIA officials & was told he'd "never make it out of jail alive," at which time he fled to Canada & then Russia where he currently resides as a political refugee.  Until this documentary it was unknown who, if anyone, had possession of the tapes or whether they even still existed.  Dougan claims to have only watched 7 out of the 700 videos.  Source.   

I'd really like to know more about these tapes & his plans for them.  They definitely need to be kept somewhere safe or, preferably, released to the general public.  If this man's life has truly been threatened by powerful American agencies who forced him out of his job & country, he doesn't owe it to them to keep these compromising tapes under wraps.  I'd posit that his life is in danger as long as he continues holding onto them without releasing them now that it's known he has them.  Please take a page from the Weathermen/Weather Underground's book in 1971 & publish what you've got.  If not for them, we'd never know about the FBI's racist COINTELPRO operation.  It's your duty to share whatever's on those tapes with the world, Mr. Dougan.  

Filling in the Blanks

The movie raises the question of whether Wexner was gay which seems HIGHLY likely to me, particularly after seeing how he behaved around models compared to all the straight men in his orbit.  His extremely close relationship with his mom is another clue to me as is his flair for women's fashion.  The only reason it matters is because he turned over power of attorney as well millions of dollars to Epstein, plus a jet (later re-christened the "Lolita Express") and countless other gifts for no apparent reason.  Those close to him said such a thing is unheard of for a billionaire.  It's simply not done.  Epstein was questioned about his sexuality:  ("Are you bisexual?") in a deposition to which he laughingly responded NO.  But the whispers have always been there.  

My opinion is that, before he was pimping out underage girls to rich men, he pimped himself out to Wexner.  He probably even pimped Ghislaine out a couple times before convincing her to recruit others.  That's how it works in the pyramid scheme of sex trafficking.  She was his bottom bitch, not his "girlfriend" like the media reports.  Going back even further, there's a high likelihood Epstein himself was sexually abused as a kid.  Nobody develops that level of hypersexuality, seeking sexual gratification up to 5-6 times per day (with children no less) out of the blue.  

With that in mind, is it really so hard to imagine that this social succubus, in his desperation to become one of the wealthy NY elite after being kicked out of Dalton School & Bear Stearns, sold his ass to this closeted fashion designer?  After a while he likely had the revelation that he didn't want to live like that forever & would start looking for other desperate pawns to recruit.  Upon meeting Maxwell, whose father was long rumored to have ties to the Mossad, he was introduced to the blackmail game.  Combining his love of sex (with children), pimping & blackmailing powerful people would make him one of the most untouchable people in the U.S.  Win-win-win.

The real villains here are the FBI, CIA, attorneys general & other agencies that stood by & allowed this filthy scheme to happen for decades while doing nothing.  Florida prosecutors as well as the FBI did nothing when informed of this predatory old man's proclivities.  Alex Acosta, Bill Barr & others literally greenlighted the rape of children.  The Non-Prosecution Agreement & other unprecedented sweetheart deals were a slap in the face--salt in the wound--to the victims of this rabid animal.  

Most importantly, this confirms that our nation's disgustingly weak penalties for sex crimes are due to a systemic problem with lawmakers engaging in criminal sex acts themselves.  How many of these politicians have tapes floating around somewhere of them assaulting a child?  They knew that if they sentenced Epstein appropriately he could pull an Uno Reverse & threaten to release actual video of them doing the same thing, thus the slap-on-the-wrist sentences.  "He belongs to intelligence" were the exact words of Alex Acosta.  That roughly translates to:  "He's got a shit-ton of kompromat on us, guys.  Don't touch with a 10-ft. pole." 

There's nothing worse than being labeled a pedophile (rightfully so).  It's the ultimate taboo.  Being gay is no longer blackmail-worthy like it was in Hoover's day.  Once Epstein was locked up for real & was going to stand trial with the chance to actually reveal the dirt on the world's most powerful people, he had to die.  If you have any doubt that he was either murdered or forced to commit suicide (like the FBI tried to force MLK to kill himself), note that close Epstein associate Jean-Luc Brunel died under identical circumstances in a French prison in February 2022.  As the documentary said, these pedophile sex rings are one of those "too big to fail" industries like banking.  Bringing the perps to justice would bring down society as we know it.

Remember that every time you see a news story in which a convicted rapist or pedophile gets probation with no jail time or a similarly tiny sentence.  Our judges, cops, politicians, lawyers & others in power are not only complicit but guilty themselves.  The ones who aren't get chased out of the profession like John Mark Dougan.  The deeper question is:  In a country where we were given the choice between 2 rapists for president in 2020, should any of this come as a surprise?  Does any of it even matter?  It certainly should, but too many are willing to look the other way or explain away evil behavior when "their guy" or "their friend" is the one accused.  Until the day victims are given our full empathy & protection regardless of who the offender is, this evil will continue unabated.  

*Maria Farmer was accused of anti-Semitism by Alan Dershowitz, one of the men accused of receiving illicit massages at Epstein's properties.  Listen to the interview of Maria above and decide for yourself whether she's being "anti-Semitic".

The Telecommunications Act of 1996: The Death Knell of Music

As an '80s baby, I had the privilege of growing up with some amazing music:  Punk, New Wave & the birth of Hip Hop in the '80s gave way to Grunge & what most consider to be the Golden Era of R&B, Rap & Electronic music.  Every genre had its innovators & stars, all of which got plenty of airplay & spotlight on MTV, VH1 & in music magazines like Rolling Stone.  You could even call into your local radio station & request your favorite songs for the DJ to play.  These artists tended to write their own music, play an instrument (or two) & make deeply thought-out concept albums that could be played from front-to-back without skipping any songs because they were THAT good.  Artists of the '90s heyday included:

Nirvana, R.E.M., Michael Jackson, Alanis Morrissette, En Vogue, Sinead O'Connor, Boyz II Men, Sublime, No Doubt, Fugees, Notorious B.I.G., Seal, TLC, Sheryl Crow, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Oasis, The B-52's, Prince, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Mary J. Blige, 2Pac, PM Dawn, Selena, Soundgarden.

(And that's not even counting more "underground" artists like DAFT Punk, The Prodigy & Aphex Twin that didn't get much airplay on some mainstream stations.  Those influential bands could take up another whole article, but for the sake of making a point I'll stick to better known artists).

What I didn't know is I was witnessing the last era of great pop music that would ever exist.  

That's not to say amazing music is not being made today, but it certainly isn't receiving airplay, recognition on The Grammys or Billboard Music Awards or attention via other media.  So it's not part of the popular culture & thus might as well not exist because we can't all enjoy it together & make shared memories with it as the soundtrack to our lives like we did for pretty much all of modern history.  

This seems to be one of those issues everybody notices but can't quite put their finger on, yet we've accepted because we have no choice.  Some (inevitably younger folks) get indignant, claiming today's music is just as diverse & high quality as the music of decades past if only we'd "give it a chance".  They say we're just "out of touch" and have no idea what we're talking about or that we haven't kept up with today's pop music, vaguely asserting that there's amazing stuff out there but never quite seeming to actually produce any examples.  Then the conversation turns to "music taste is subjective" which is totally true, but at what point is a "song" not actually music but just commercially profitable noise?  The death of distinct genres & the homogenization of music into a mishmash of electronic-hip hop-pop-dance singles & off-key ballads is one problem with today's pop; we'll get into more in a minute.  

None of this may matter to you if you're not an audiophile--someone who values music for the artistic aspects rather than entertainment value.  I define it this way:  Music-as-entertainment is merely something to sing along to or play for background noise while you do other things such as host a party; music-as-art alters your mood & takes your imagination and spirit to other places.  Almost like a drug.  Those who listen to it for entertainment alone won't fully appreciate what I'm talking about here.  If you care about the quality, sound & complexity of your music, read on.  

Defining "Good" Music

Everybody has their favorite (and least fave) genre of music.  The tendency to be biased toward music that you came of age to--that is, grew from an adolescent to a proper teen--is also real.  Associating great memories like your first relationship, taking a cruise in your first car, becoming Prom Queen, losing your virginity or winning your first All-State Football tournament with a certain song or album is natural & we're all prone to that kind of bias.  But I want to make it clear that's NOT the case for me.  I came of age in the 1998-2001 period & had already been disenchanted with popular music for 3 years by that point.  Let's take a look back at that era and see what was popular on the Top 40 charts, shall we?

N*Sync, Britney Spears, Spice Girls, Puff Daddy, Limp Bizkit, Creed, Sugar Ray, Mystikal, Mandy Moore, Nickelback, Ja Rule, Avril Lavigne, Will Smith, R. Kelly, Ricky Martin, Nelly, Jessica Simpson, Hanson, LFO (aka Lyte Funkie Ones), Kid Rock, Lil' Bow Wow, Unkle Kracker, Lil' Romeo, BBMak, Staind.

I'll stop there.  You get the picture (I hope).  It was a far cry from the artists topping the charts just a few years earlier.  By the late '90s & early 2000's, popular music was all about the teeny bopper boy/girl band, Butt Rock (i.e. Creed, Nickelback, Hinder & other gravel-voiced soundalikes), bad Ska-Alt Rock knockoffs like Sugar Ray & Smash Mouth & that gawd awful Nu-Metal that helped make Woodstock '99 a rape-filled shitshow of epic white dude proportions.  And we can't forget the rise of Crunk Rap/Southern Hip Hop like Ying Yang Twins & D4L's "Shake That Laffy Taffy".  

The mid-'90s saw the deaths of both Hip-Hop & Rock's biggest stars:  Kurt Cobain in '94, Eazy-E & Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon in '95, 2Pac & Bradley Nowell of Sublime in '96 & the Notorious B.I.G. in '97.  In my childish naivete I thought those deaths were responsible for music's downfall but now I know something much bigger was at play.  After all, we lost Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix & Jim Morrison in 1970-71 and great music did not grind to a halt.  

So what the fuck happened?  

Did I just get old, or did music quality actually go down the crapper?  Remember, I wasn't old by that point.  I was an adolescent-bordering-on-teenager.  Prime music loving years.  I always wondered what could account for this sudden shift toward formulaic, dumbed-down music aimed solely at tweens & cavemen.  How did we go from "every song no matter the genre is my favorite" to "I can't stand a single thing on the radio!" in the span of 1-2 years?  

Pinpointing the Culprit

Clinton signs Telecommunications Act into law

Enter the Telecommunications Act of 1996, a bill signed by none other than Bill Clinton.  While the details of this bill are complicated & encompass more than just music/radio, I encourage you to do some deeper digging.  Basically, this bill deregulated the airwaves in an unprecedented way, taking control away from local DJs and giving it to megacorporations like Clear Channel (now iHeartMedia) whose sole focus was the ads rather than the music itself.  These corps used focus groups to decide which songs to play between the ads to keep listeners' attention rather than playing music that's, you know, actually good.  Calling in to request your favorite song quickly became a thing of the past because DJs no longer controlled what songs got played.  No more spontaneously mixed-in jams heard over the weekend at the club or while the DJ was traveling.  Just nauseatingly repetitive corporate playlists made by some CEO in an office.  

Now it's all about targeting the music to the demographic most likely to buy shit.  That would be tweens--particularly girls in the 12-14 age range.  Hence all the boy/girl band music:  Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, BTS & other specially-groomed teen stars.  Sure, those types of artists have always existed but they used to exist as part of a larger and more varied landscape of music made mostly for adults.  And as for the quality of music itself, there's literal proof of the decline in lyrical complexity over the last few decades.  Check out the documentary "Before the Music Dies" (2006) for a full explanation of the situation we're in.  It's probably even worse by now, actually.  

To further drive the nail through the coffin, shows like American Idol & its more "organic" (yeah right) alternative The Voice became popular around 2002, proving that the only way to the top was by conforming to a highly generic image, sound & format.  No more organically formed bands doing it the old fashioned way--now you were gonna have to audition in front of stuck up suits doing extremely sterile covers of other artists' songs.  If you didn't sound enough like the original artist, prepare to get destroyed.  But more importantly, if you weren't young, beautiful, clean-cut & groveling you'd better expect to get your ass handed to you by the incredibly cruel judges. 

The Fallout

The overuse of autotune, the nauseatingly repetitive choruses (Beyonce's "Who run the world? Girls"; Bieber's "Baby baby baby, Oooh" x1000), unbearable embellishments like "cursive singing" & the millennial whoop make today's music physically painful for people like me who remember how soulful, intricate & complex popular music used to be.  (Being autistic and having sensory issues probably doesn't help matters, but one needn't have those to find this offensively shitty music unbearable).  For someone who used to genuinely love every song I heard on the radio as a kid, I can honestly say I haven't enjoyed a song played on the radio since 2003.  That's almost 20 years.  So you can see why it might bother me.  We have Spotify, Youtube & countless other ways of discovering music now--great.  But not everyone has endless time to search for obscure bands & assemble playlists.  And even if they did, it's just not the same as when great music was part of the mainstream popular culture for pretty much all of modern history.  That's a hill I'll die on.  

Before you let anyone make you feel like a delusional old fart for saying music was better "back in the old days," show them this article.  While they're entitled to their opinion, they should also know the facts before repeating tired old tropes about romanticizing the past.  I would posit that this goes deeper than musical tastes:  it's symptomatic of the fall of our society.  Dramatic?  Maybe, but when quality art & music cannot be found through mainstream channels--all of which are controlled by giant media conglomerations--the soul of the nation starves.  Whether you realize it or not, we NEED art to flourish as a society.  And on the flipside, art is the cultural thermostat that reads the health of a nation... our collective moods, emotions, political & social wellness.  Judging by our popular music, we haven't been in a good mood since the turn of the millennium.  

This same phenomenon has come to pass with big-budget movies in the past decades as well:  the dumbing down of plots, remakes of remakes, over-dependence on CGI to dazzle audiences in the absence of decent writing & childish movies for adults (the Harry Potter series, Twilight & all the Marvel & DC comic superhero films).  And of course reality TV replacing sitcoms & other types of shows that require the hiring of actually talented writers.  Ditto journalism.  Go back & watch an episode of 20/20, Frontline PBS or 60 Minutes from the 1970s or even the 1990s and then watch one from today.  The decline in quality is startling.  I won't even get started on the quality of Netflix's so-called "documentaries".  

For all this talk of how enlightened we are & how far technology has progressed, we don't seem to have noticed that our institutions have been crumbling beneath us for the last half-century.  How much of this is due to the Telecommunications Act of 1996 vs. our ever reduced attention spans I can't be sure, but I do know that bills that deregulate industries & allow huge corporate mergers are a big part of the problem.  And both parties are equally to blame for allowing it.  These are the consequential decisions we're not being given a vote on--the political changes that rarely even get media coverage.  And We The People the ones who pay.

To All Healthcare Providers in a Post-Roe World:

I've been reading articles like this all week and I want to vomit.  Combined with the personal stories I'm seeing on social media, I've never been so scared to live in the U.S.  And it was pretty fucking horrifying to live here through COVID as we (well, YOU) allowed the hospitals to be overrun with anti-vax science denialists for the last 2 years because you refused to enact rational, ethical triage protocols.  

It's utterly appalling that pharmacists are taking it upon themselves to deny patients access to prescribed medications like methotrexate because they fear they "might" be used off-label to induce abortion.  That's not your call.  Pharmacists already act as an obnoxious barrier to much-needed medications, giving patients the 3rd degree about drugs that are legally prescribed to them by doctors such as pain or ADHD medications.  The fact that they might now prevent terminal cancer, autoimmune disease or other patients with serious diseases from obtaining their much-needed meds because they're concerned about jeopardizing THEIR licenses is as unethical as it gets.  It's one thing if you're genuinely concerned about the patient overdosing or combining drugs like opiates & depressants; it's another when you're only worried about possible consequences for yourself.  If you can't handle the risks associated with your profession, find another one.  

Ditto all the doctors in ERs and OB/GYN units across the country who are electing to let women with ectopic pregnancies & pre-eclampsia code & die as you call your lawyer or simply turn them away in fear of losing your license.  Shame on you.  (I implore any nurses or others who witness these horrors to leave reviews & include the names of these butchers when sharing these stories so women know who NOT to entrust our lives to).  

When in doubt, please refer to the Hippocratic Oath you swore to uphold at the beginning of your career, remembering that violating it is considered medical malpractice.  If someone comes to you to save their life, refusing to do so for fear of losing your license is not only doing them harm but sentencing them to death.  In such a case you not only deserve to lose your license but to go to prison as well.  (Well, I suppose a judge or jury can decide that, but it certainly warrants serious legal action & a trial).  In no universe should you be able to turn a patient away for fear of treating them because you don't understand the laws around abortion or how they might affect your precious little career.  Again, if you're not sure or don't have the courage to save the life of a desperate dying patient, please choose a less consequential career.  I hear a lot of fast food joints are hiring.

We're at a point where doctors, nurses & other medical providers--the ones with a conscience--are going to start quitting en masse due to moral injury which will be catastrophic & irreversible.  This is the same thing we see in war veterans who are forced to kill innocent people & are told it's for a greater cause yet aren't able to square this with the reality of what they're seeing and feeling inside.  It already happened with COVID as doctors & nurses across the country watched patients die miserably & were forced to ration care while working to the point of exhaustion.  It would be far more impactful to organize, protest these unjust abortion laws & try to prevent this inevitable (further) decline in America's medical system now than to sit back & wait for the fallout.  Either way, you're going to end up walking out.  Why wait until your psyche is broken beyond repair?  A general healthcare strike is long overdue in this country.

It's really a question of how many immoral, unjust orders you're willing to follow.  I'm sure many of the Germans living under Nazi rule; a few of Unit 731's "scientists" & many others involved in history's horrors were "good people just following orders".  It's just that, without those enablers, those crimes against humanity couldn't have been carried out.  At some point we've got to make a conscious choice to stop repeating our mistakes as a species & evolve.  

On Snotty Snitches & Controlling Bitches

Remember that kid in class who would tell the evil teacher there were tacks in her chair, ruining the intricate prank everyone had worked so hard to pull off?  The goodie-goodie who always had a question or "idea" that would hold the class up long after the bell rang?  The first-in-the-door, last-out-the-door suckup who just HAD to make life a drag for all the other students because they were obviously lacking something inside themselves?  

Chances are that kid grew up to be an asshole who throws their peers, co-workers & even their "friends" under the bus whenever they get the chance.  They see themselves as shining examples of morality due to their habit of always following The Rules, yet they're the first to sabotage another hardworking person's efforts to make themselves feel better or look good.  But they don't look good.  They look like pathetic, insecure little twat waffles.  And the sad thing is, there's no need for any of it.  That effort could be better spent building up their own work, relationships or hobbies instead of tearing down yours.  Because they tend to be intelligent and competent people in their own right, they just won't relax their anuses long enough to chill & let other people be.  

The English department at my college was full of these people--sharply dressed WASPs who would exclude you from group projects for the slightest perceived misstep while turning in work that was consistently 'meh'.  I had an older cousin--an only child with a major inferiority complex--who exuded this energy my whole childhood, playing the benevolent big sister role when family was around and turning into an outright bully when they weren't.  Elon Musk's "you must come to work in the office/no more work-from-home" passive-aggressive email is another example.  You get the picture.  

It's one thing to be a Type A overachiever who takes your work seriously & likes to be in control.  It's another to try and control other people.  If you fall into the latter category, please seek help & try to reign it in.  It's not a good look & makes things that would otherwise be bearable or even fun seem like a drudgery.  Workplaces turn into nightmares with you around.  I can't imagine what it must be like to be in an intimate relationship with you people.  Not everyone's brain is wired like yours and that's okay.  We don't need an unpaid nanny following everyone around & playing bossy Big Brother.  Life is hard enough without the added pressure of Controlling Cathys & Snitchy Steves dissecting our every move.  

Relax.  Let your butthole breathe.  It's all gonna work out just fine.
