Will Ghislaine target Biden? Here's what you DON'T know

My previous post, in which I predicted that Ghislaine Maxwell will insure Trump's re-election, pleased no-one. Even my ladyfriend told me: "You're such a doom-sayer. It's annoying."

Very soon, we won't be annoyed. We'll be clobbered.

Eric Trump fired the first volley. Dems think they've out-Twittered him, but the winner of this initial skirmish soon won't matter. The important point is this: The Trump family is not acting frightened -- which they would be, if there were any chance that Ghislaine might say something to incriminate Donnie.

True, she may have to spend some time in prison, but she'll be rewarded for that temporary inconvenience. Trump will be in a position to pardon her after she gets him re-elected.

To understand what is about to hit us, you have to stay focused on one key factor: Robert Maxwell worked for Mossad, and so does Ghislaine. According to Epstein's business partner Steve Hoffenberg -- whom I do not trust -- Epstein himself was Mossad.

Jeffrey Epstein's former "mentor" has revealed how the disgraced paedophile would boast to his friends about how he was going to sell Prince Andrew's secrets to Israel's intelligence agency Mossad.

"He told me that Ghislaine Maxwell was going to be the breakthrough to bring him into that orbit - to be able to part of the agency in Israel - and that's what did occur," he said.

"They created the plan of installing the honeypot cameras and had taken over the house in Manhattan [given to him by his billionaire client Les Wexner] to blackmail the politicians.

"He then took over the house in Florida and put in cameras. The cameras were to record rapes, it wasn't just about gathering intelligence, but compromising the politicians."

Hoffenberg's credibility is dubious, to say the least. I have no love for a thief who turned "born again" after a stint in prison.

(Hoffenberg and I briefly corresponded some years ago, but when I asked about Epstein's links to Russian mobsters, Mr. H insisted on speaking voice. I don't give out my phone number to anyone.)

Nevertheless, all signs indicate that Hoffenberg is right about this much: Ghislaine Maxwell is indeed a Mossad "helper," and Epstein did provide honeytrap and blackmail services for Israeli intelligence.

Thus, in order to foretell what Ghislaine will say, we need to ask ourselves one simple question: Whom do the Israelis prefer, Trump or Biden?

You may have noticed that Bibi Netanyahu has embarked upon an ambitious program of annexing much of the West Bank. For a while, he seemed intent on getting the job done before the American election. Now, there is a delay. From the Guardian:

Ultranationalists in Israel see Trump’s presidency as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to carry out measures that were long considered taboo in Washington.

Get the picture? If you thought for one second that Ghislaine would say one word against Trump, you were incredibly naive. Why did Ghislaine Maxwell stay in this country? Because she intended to be caught.

Until last night, I presumed that the scheme was to gin up charges against Bill Clinton, thereby smearing the entire Democratic party. While Clinton is indeed in danger, I now believe that Maxwell will go after Joe Biden himself.

Does that idea sound outlandish? Before you answer, let me ask you one question: Did you ever think to Google the words "Joe Biden" and "Virgin Islands"?

I did. Last night.

Turns out that Joe Biden routinely vacationed in the Virgin Islands while serving as Vice President. See here and here and here and here: "Biden Vacations in Virgin Islands for Second Time in Three Months." Here's the cottage he rented on one trip.

There was even a minor scandal-ette earlier this year involving a small, undeveloped island off of St. Crois purchased by Joe Biden's brother James for the sum of $150,000. (Biden's island is about fifty miles south of Epstein's island.) A third of the property was sold to a Joe Biden aide for roughly the same price that James paid for the whole island. Looks to me as though Joe used a proxy to give his brother some cash in exchange for a bit of property. Big deal. Trump does worse during any given lunch.

In and of itself, the Biden family's fondness for St. Croix proves nothing. But these vacays gave the QAnon conspiracy-mongers an excuse to drag the Biden name into their dark speculations about Jeffrey Epstein: See here, for example.

The Q crowd even made a video about the alleged Biden/Epstein connection. That video is definitely worth a watch, if only because gives us a look at James Biden's island. It also offers a preview of what we may expect to hit us between now and November.

(The narrator mispronounces Ghislaine Maxwell's first name. In college, I knew a Ghislaine from Switzerland; her own pronunciation veered from Ghee-LAYNE to Gheh-LEHN and all points in-between. Just keep the "S" silent and the "G" hard, and you'll be fine.)

The key point I'm trying to make is this: Biden was in the vicinity on certain dates. When a weepy Epstein "victim" shows up on teevee to deliver a "JOE RAPED ME!" yarn, she will no doubt place herself with Biden at the right time. The chronology will aid her credibility.

We are constantly being reminded that Epstein compiled blackmail evidence -- photos, videos -- against the bigwigs who hobnobbed with his girls. Even though there have been many articles about "deep fake" videos, most people still don't understand that video evidence can be rigged. Putin has smeared his political opponents via such "evidence." In the pre-digital age, an east bloc service concocted a video which allegedly showed Ronald Reagan having kinky sex with Vicki Morgan. (Ask Larry Flynt about that one: He got hold of a copy of this footage and has shown it at parties. I'm told that the video involved lookalikes -- and a certain plastic appendage.) 

Remember: The charge against Biden need not be proven. The point is to wrap him in scandal as election day approaches.

Dersh. I suppose one should say a few words about Alan Dershowitz' instantly-infamous defense of Ghislaine Maxwell. If you look carefully at how he has worded his piece, you'll see that he is preparing the way for the coming Big Smear. He wants Ghislaine to be considered credible when she points the finger at Bill and Joe. Arguably, Dersh is laying the groundwork for a coming Trump pardon of Ghislaine Maxwell.

The worst accusations against Ghislaine Maxwell -- and Dershowitz himself -- come from Virginia Roberts/Giuffre. Predictably, Dersh slams her hard.

But she also has said — as I argue in a civil action against her — that she met Al and Tipper Gore on Epstein’s island (for this and other revelations she was paid $160,000). She describes the incident in great detail, but the truth is that neither of the Gores have ever met Epstein and were certainly never on his island. She has also made accusations against former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, former majority leader of the US Senate George Mitchell, former US Representative to the UN Bill Richardson, owner of L Brands Limited Leslie Wexner, and many others who have categorically denied these accusations. Her own lawyer has acknowledged that an 11-year investigation disproved the accusations against these prominent people.

I think it may be fairer to say that her lawyer wisely decided to keep the focus on Epstein.

I'm intrigued by this Gore business, since that name does not appear in most versions of the Virginia Roberts story. Here's a piece published in 2015 which brings up the Gore angle -- and once again, Dersh is the one who mentions them.

He also contested allegations the woman made to British papers that Al and Tipper Gore had been at Epstein's island as well.

"The evidence will show that former President Clinton, former Vice President Al Gore and Tipper Gore never set foot on Epstein's private island," and her "accounts are not merely preposterous on their face but in fact entirely false and her sworn statement to this court is perjurious," the filing says.

It's weirdly difficult to find a non-Dershowitz source for the Gore claim. There must be one; although I'm no Dershowitz fan, I'm sure that he would not have concocted such a thing out of whole cloth. Still, it is odd to note that, without Dersh, the internet record might be free of any news stories connecting Al Gore to Epstein's island. (It has been a while since I looked at Virginia's Complaint; I honestly cannot recall if the Gores were mentioned.)

In 2019, journalist Julie K. Brown responded to Dershowitz on this point, and her comments on Twitter are definitely worthy of consideration. I have taken the liberty of translating her Twitter-ese into normal prose:

1. She never claimed to me that she met Tipper or Al Gore. 2. She did NOT say she was 14, she said she was 15. And 3. She was a sex trafficking victim before she even met Epstein and it is NORMAL for trauma victims to get dates wrong. In fact, FBI experts say that if a child victim of sexual assault gets all the details of their trauma correct EVERY time, it’s a sign they have been coached to lie. In other words, it’s common and more more indicative that they are truthful when they do NOT remember exact details.

The most interesting aspect of Brown's response is the claim that Virginia was "a sex trafficking victim before she even met Epstein." These words may be interpreted as a reference to Virginia Roberts' father, who worked for Trump. He was the one who arranged for Mar-A-Lago to hire Virginia, and he apparently had no complaint when his daughter was made to wear a skimpy costume as she tended to adult males. In short order, she ended up in the clutches of Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeff Epstein.

Virginia's dad is a mysterious fellow. Let's put it this way: What little I've read about him does not encourage me to nominate him for a "Father of the Year" award.

I still don't understand why Virginia Roberts refused to name either Trump or Mar-A-Lago in her original Complaint. A document of that sort usually offers specifics -- names, dates, places. So why was Trump so assiduously kept out it?

She refuses to name him now -- usually. She did talk about him here.

Mysteriously, when Australia's 60 Minutes did a piece on Virginia Roberts, they also kept Trump well out of it. The program showed a long shot of Mar-A-Lago without once naming the place. Think about it: Why wouldn't a TV show mention the name of a sitting president in connection with so extraordinary a case? A journalistic coup of that sort would have assured high ratings. I was always under the impression that TV producers like high ratings.

I can easily understand why Dersh won't mention Trump in connection with Epstein. Dersh is a zealous supporter of Israel and is thus probably down with Bibi's annexation plan. If Mossad helps Trump's re-election, Bibi will have kompromat on the American president -- and Israel will be able to do anything. Anything.

But Virginia's silence about the Orange One continues to trouble me. I used to trust her; now I don't. She has begun to remind me of the "Satanic Ritual Abuse" claimants I interviewed back in the 1990s: For every credible-sounding statement, they would offer at least one absurdity.

One should also note what Dersh has to say about claimed Epstein victim Sarah Ransome:

Another Netflix witness is a woman named, Sarah Ransome. But Netflix failed to disclose that in the run-up to the 2016 election Ransome wrote dozens of emails to the New York Post claiming to have sex tapes of the two ‘pedophiles’ who were running for president, namely Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, as well as sex tapes of Richard Branson and others. She also claimed that Hillary Clinton ordered the CIA to kill her and to destroy her tapes. The Post of course did not run that story. She subsequently admitted she had ‘invented’ that story; there were no sex tapes.

Dersh is right about this one. Hillary was never in the position to order the CIA to do anything. Although the Ransome story seems absurd on its face, it has been taken seriously by many writers; see, for example, here.

I'm very suspicious of the new claim that Ghislaine herself is a rapist.

Longtime readers know that I never bought into the allegations made by the woman who, for a while, called herself "Katie Johnson." In a lawsuit, she said that Trump raped her in Epstein's company when she was 13. Her story was too pat, too lacking in credible detail; she withdrew her suit in 2016.

That makes three -- perhaps four -- claimed Epstein victims whose truthfulness is questionable. Do you still doubt that a similarly dubious "victim" will come forward with tales about Joe Biden or Bill Clinton?

Come back soon for more prophecies of doom! I may be annoying -- but in your heart, you know I'm right.
