Then those subpoenas are absolutely meaningless and worthless.

"Super-billionaire Thomas Pritzker sniveled that he has "regret" over his connection to the notorious Jeffrey Epstein and his disgusting accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

Epstein plead guilty to state criminal charges related to soliciting prostitution, including one charge involving a minor, in Florida in 2008. In 2019, he allegedly killed himself in nearly impossible circumstance in a federal prison cell after being arrested for federal child sex trafficking charges.

Recently released files show Pritzker and Epstein exchanged friendly emails after the disgraced financier's 2008 plea deal. Being part of the release of thousands of documents and photos does not imply any wrongdoing.

"I exercised terrible judgment in maintaining contact with them, and there is no excuse for failing to distance myself sooner," Pritzker whined. "I condemn the actions and the harm caused by Epstein and Maxwell and I feel deep sorrow for the pain they inflicted on their victims."

In a legal deposition, the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre accused Thomas Pritzker of serious sexual allegations, naming him as one of several men she was trafficked to have sex with. In her book Nobody's Girl, Virginia wrote about "Billionaire One" and "Billionaire Two," but omitted their names out of fear for her mortal life and the lives of her family. Thomas Pritzker is one the wealthiest men on the planet and cousin to JB Pritzker, the Democratic governor of Illinois.

Mega-oligarch Thomas Pritzker, who never worked a day in his life, inherited a massive fortune, attended the best schools, ate the finest foods, and traveled the world in First Class or Concorde. This good-for-nothing reprobate lavishes himself with a net worth of $3.1 billion dollars.

Below, the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre when she was an underage sex slave for Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. One of Virginia's last wishes was that the monstrous Ghislaine Maxwell never see the light of day again.

why is a two-month old infant being detained?

WTF?

We are a nation of monsters now.

The Iranian regime and their nuclear program today is what it is thanks to the West.

Huh?

Iran is a multi-ethnic country (Persian, Azeri, Turkmen, Kurd, Armenian, Baluch, Assyrian) that is a predominantly Shia with a Sunni minority and smaller Christian, Zoroastrian, and Jewish communities.

To keep this oil-rich, post-World War Two artificial construct a viable pro-West country together without ethnic fracturing required an authoritarian system.

When a socialist won the national election in 1953 and threatened to national the oil industry for the benefit of the Iranian people, CIA and the UK overthrew Mohammad Mossadegh and installed the Shah of Iran.

This puppet now sitting atop the Peacock Throne then stylized himself as the "Kemal Ataturk" of Iran and underwent a modernization program for his country.

But Kemal Pasha was not an installed satrap of Turkiye like the Shah. Ataturk was a beloved war hero ("ghazi") who saved the country from dismemberment by the Allies and the Greeks. Ataturk's later repressions against occasional flare-ups by the Zazas, Whirling Dervishes, or the Kurds were easily forgiven by his own people.

So from 1953 to 1978, the US looked away from the Shah's brutal intolerance of dissent. He had seen Ataturk do the same in neighboring Turkiye, but to a lesser degree. The US and the Mossad trained his secret police, the SAVAK. This is why the Mossad and the IRGC-QF knew each other quite well.

The SAVAK's crushing of dissent from 1953 to 1978 led to a vacuum of academics, socialists, and civil society intermediaries, leaving only religious leaders intact. One firebrand was previously exiled to France named Khomeini. When the decrepit Peacock Throne finally collapsed, only theocrats were around to replace the Ancien Regime and the Ayatollah arrived in Tehran on 1 Feb 1979 (from memory).

The Iranians have a nuclear program?

How did that happen?

The US Atoms for Peace initiative.

My dear Falstaff, pray throw your eye upon these letters and come away heavier in heart, but gently enlightened.

Thanks for the info, Corky.

History is always interesting to discuss.

Your blue collar New York comrade on this side of the continent sticks to three main books for inspiration:

In the SDNY document, plaintiff "prays" for relief from the Court, not the more common "seeks" relief from the Court.

Wow.

Some judges in SDNY and EDNY preferred certain language or terms, which might be the case here.

Attorneys and AUSAs know the USDJs they are dealing with.

There are some lawyers on drudge.com who can address this issue better than me.

The Bible, like the "Meditations" of Marcus Aurelius, were collected posthumously.

Whether any debates occurred about Marcus Aurelius' thoughts during collation after his death, I don't know.

But the Bible certainly was edited and adjusted through the centuries.

One early version of the Bible taught that Lilith was Adam's first wife, not Eve. See bottom.

Lilith was eventually was taken out and she became part of what has been called "the apocryphal Bible."

The Council of Nicaea may have been where that was decided and Lilith would no longer be mentioned in the New Testament as the first woman. That honor would then go solely to Eve.

Once that Eve was cemented as the first woman, the next adjustments to the Bible would come with the Protestant Reformation.

I wonder how many female military officers or intelligence personnel were implicated in the Epstein files?

"I am one of the white supremacist idiots that on Tuesday 5 November 2024 voted for Dummkopf Trumpf, a silver-spooned geriatric morbidly obese draft dodging swine and pedophile who has decimated the American economy and turned oligarchs into mega-oligarchs while I'm forced to shop at the Dollar Store for food."

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) incorporated women in combat roles decades ago.

This also becomes a morale improver on those boring nights in the lonely barracks.

An IDF veteran I knew years ago had a couple of great stories about this.

And no universal healthcare for all residents of the United States of America as enjoyed by Canadians, Germans, Israelis, Irishmen, Brits, and Albanians who don't understand the concept of "medical bankruptcy."

Last century Mr Robert Duvall and I remarkably shared a common acquaintance, although we never met.

One of his first roles from a novel which became a film that touched upon racism, childhood innocence, single parenthood, and learning disabilities:

Masked and heavily armed ICE Sturmabteilung will be present at polling stations on primary and election days to intimidate voters.

Hi Doc Sarvis

Thanks very much.

I've driven through Kinderhook many times and will look for that episode you mentioned.

The original Goodfellas book was just as good as the film.

In Goodfellas, Nicholas Pileggi and Henry Hill didn't know precisely who Tommy's assassin was, so they used an "old-timer" for the scene.

Henry Hill and Nicholas Pileggi would learn after the movie was produced and released that Tommy's hitman was allegedly John Gotti.

Henry and his cohorts were Lucchese Crime Family (LCF), but John Gotti was Gambino Crime Family (GCF), like we have the Trumpf Crime Family (TCF).

Billy Batts grew up in the LCF part of Queens, but ended up in the GCF and a "made man."

John Gotti supposedly disapproved of the magnificent Lufthansa heist at the JFK cargo area, calling it a "crazy Mick job" [sic] that would bring too much federal heat on the five crime families, which it did.

But methinks Gotti was also a bit envious. JFK airport and the arteries in and out were LCF territory, hence the lucrative truck jackings and weekly tribute Big Paulie from Jimmy the Gent.

Somewhere out there is a graveyard filled with dead female children murdered by rich and powerful men.

Hi Zed:

There is a rumor in federal law-enforcement circles that Jimmy Hoffa was buried somewhere on the large Michigan property of a member of the notorious "Purple Gang," Jewish assassins in Detroit that were used by the Italian mob to whack other Italians because as out-of-town Jews they wouldn't be recognized by the target in NYC or Chicago.

This particular Purple Gang member allegedly helped dispose of bodies since his great asset was his large rural property.

You said it, Clownshack.

Last century, JFK and Jackie gave us a thousand days of Camelot; Dummkopf Trumpf and Melanoma are going to give us 1,461 days of Gehenna.

And because the treasury has been depleted, institutions dismantled, federal employees fired, capital flight, and brain drain, the recovery process will be as if the US was destroyed in a war.

How many people will have died because of poverty, malnutrition, inadequate medical care, and wars between now and 21 Jan 2029?

We will need a post-Trumpf Marshall Plan, but who will provide the needed trillions in 2029? China? The EU? Canada?

At the MSC, California Gov Gavin Newsom (D) asked world leaders to be patient with the US and to stand up to Trumpf who "will be gone in three years."

Newsom has his eye on the White House and will need the help and forgiveness of world leaders should he become POTUS in 2028, so his appeal makes sense.

But these world leaders are more concerned now about their countries and national security than Newsom's future White House aspirations while we suffer in Gehenna.

Canada PM Mark Carney can do it. He was head of the Bank of England and Canada before becoming PM.

He was smart enough to have King Charles open up Canada's Parliament last year, something only done two or three times previously.

This PhD Trumpf-proofed Canada by passing legislation making trade and investment flow easier through the provinces which have different laws and powers than American states.

PM Carney got Canada into the Re-Arm Europe program ahead of schedule to by-pass the US and NATO.

He is getting Canada to deal more with Mexico and China, skipping around the US.

Unlike his amiable predecessor Justin Trudeau, PM Carney is unafraid of Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, so he recognized the State of Palestine. To politically defend Greenland, Carney opened up a needless Consulate-General up there.

PM Carney wrote an Op-Ed for The Economist "by invitation" in Nov 2025.

No one at The Economist, NYT, WSJ, WaPo, Barron's, etc would ever ask the morbidly obese geriatric draft dodging pedophilic golf cheat to submit an editorial.

*** Gov Gavin Newsom (D-CA) to World Leaders: 'Dummkopf Trumpf is Temporary' ***

"California Gov. Gavin Newsom called on world leaders attending the Munich Security Conference in Germany to think about a future without Dummkopf Trumpf.

Newsom's comments on climate policy reflected the larger theme of his message for Europe.

"I hope if there is nothing else I communicate today: Dummkopf Trumpf is temporary. He'll be gone in three years."

(Source: ABC News, 15 Feb 2026)

~snip~

The primary field for both Democrats and Republicans to replace Dummkopf Trumpf is under discussion already in political circles and webblogs. In those discussions, the telegenic, calm, handsome, and witty governor of a state whose economy now is slightly larger than Japan's, is a favorite among Democrats.

Gavin Newsom is a Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) protege and her next project after retiring is getting her political apprentice elected POTUS in 2028. She will collect a massive federal retirement to add to her immense wealth.

But Nancy Pelosi's massive AIPAC baggage has dragged her down and Gavin Newsom's support for Israel could be a liability with millions of progressive antiwar voters on Tuesday 7 Nov 2028, as we saw what happened to VPOTUS Kamala Harris (D) and Gov Tim Walz (D-MN) on Tuesday 5 Nov 2024.

Last year, disgraced ex-NYS Governor Andrew "Benedict Arnold" Cuomo's Islamophobic AIPAC baggage crippled his mayoral campaign and now we happily have Democrat Zohran Mamdani as Mayor of the "World's Capital."

*** Dummkopf Trumpf Lashes Out at TV Tumor Bill Maher ***

"...I'd much rather spend my time MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN than wasting it on him. Bill [Maher] continues to suffer from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS!), and there is nothing that will ever be done to cure him of this very serious disease.

Thank you for your attention to this minor matter."

I hope the morbidly obese geriatric draft-dodging pedophile torpedoes the other podcast tumor Joe Rogan.

Both of these oligarchs, Bill Maher and Joe Rogaine, have made hundreds of millions of dollars for themselves doing nothing but being talking heads while doing NOTHING to improve the lives of their fellow Americans who they secretly look down upon as the "great unwashed masses."

*** USN Commits High Seas Piracy Again; Seizes Venezuelan Tanker in Indian Ocean ***

Hah! Good shot!

Resistance guerillas fighting American forces in Pashtunistan or Russian spies trying to learn our secrets I can understand.

Soul-mongering, homophobia, and phony Christianity in the US is something I can't wrap my head around.

Kevin Charles Luke served in both active duty and reserve components of the US Army from 1981 until retiring with the rank of Colonel on 30 June 2018. Following his retirement, Luke was employed as a civilian employee at USCENTCOM in Tampa, Florida.

"In October 2024, Luke sent a woman a text message from his personal cellphone that stated, "sent to my boss earlier, gives you a peek at what I do for a living." Following that message, he sent a photograph of a computer screen displaying a classified email message that he had authored and sent using a government email address intended for classified email communications. The photograph of the classified email also revealed targets of a planned US military operation as well as the future date of the operation, the means of executing the operation, and the goal of the operation. The email contained classified markings at the Secret level that Luke himself had added. The unauthorized release of the information contained within the photograph could be expected to cause serious damage to the national security of the US."

Kevin Luke served 37 years in the US Army arduously building up his name and reputation and becoming a potential general officer. Whether he is separated, married, divorced or a widower is unclear, but Luke seemed to be lonely and wanted to impress this woman that he had recently met. Rather than just show her his military portrait, or other photos taken of him during his long career, Luke made a terrible mistake and needlessly tried to "show off" to her, throwing away 37 years of building up his good name and reputation all in one fell swoop. Colonel Luke will have two years to think about this ghastly mistake and hopefully Judge Moody requests he be incarcerated in a nearby minimal security FCI in Florida.
