THE DEEPER DIVE: What a Week of Weak Coverups
From the Epstein cover to apparent lies about the success of the US attack on Iran to what looks oddly like a false-flag operation in the Red Sea to justify attacking Yemen, what an endless mess.
I’m going to consider the two articles that dug deep into the Epstein video to be Deeper Dives for this week, so this Deeper Dive will be shorter than usual. That is because those two articles took a lot of time to try to find videos that showed the clip where Epstein walks through the common area as part of the full-length video. I couldn’t find that—if it even exits—which is a significant flaw in the “evidence” that Epstein wasn’t assassinated, as it was the only part that supposedly proved he was even present in the cell that was ostensibly being shown, unless I missed it.
I, then, had to plow through the full-length video to see the many spots where people went in and out of the visible common area toward “Epstein’s cell” and then, in the later article, to find floor plans and analyze them to lay out how many routes to and from Epstein’s cell could be found completely outside of the viewing area of the video. In the end, the effort proved beyond any doubt the video was a total fraud in terms of what the DoJ claimed it proved or provided evidence for.
(See the first article: “Epstain May be the Dirtiest Mess Trump has Ever Hung around his Own Neck” … and the second: “Solid Proof of How Badly the DoJ, Kash Patel and Dan Bongino Insulted either Your Intelligence or Just their Own.”)
Those articles were a truly Deeper Dive for everyone this week, digging into the TOTAL coverup that the video “evidence” that there was no suicide represents because ABSOLUTELY NOTHING you needed to see in order to know that no one went in and out of Epstein’s cell on the night when he died by hanging was even within the view angle of that camera.
That makes the video a total FRAUD in terms of the purpose Dan Bongino and Kash Patel—director and deputy director of the FBI—gave for presenting it. It also makes them either 1) frauds or 2) completely inept for 1) claiming to believe or 2) actually believing this video was enough to convince them that no one assassinated Jeffrey Epstein.
So, that was an important set of what were essentially Deeper Dives in the material were were presented that needed to be shared openly with all readers, not just my faithful paying supporters in order to do all I can in my little realm to turn up heat on these fraudsters.
And, while Pam Bondi is taking all the heat for 1) stopping the investigation into disgusting crimes against more than a thousand young women, as well she should take the heat for, and for 2) telling everyone there was a list and then there is not a list and for avoiding the obvious, which is that 3) the DoJ could certainly create a list of its own with the truckload of info it gathered, Bongino and Patel are fully the ones who sold the power of the video to prove that Epstein didn’t kill himself. So, while Dan Bongino ended the week by ranting about Bondi to shift all blame to her and look like he cares about truth, he’s as big a fraud as anyone.
The DoJ might as well have taken a video of the nearest city park all night and said, “See, no one is killing Epstein in the city park, and we’ve recorded it all night long.” After all, what difference does it make when the video they did present doesn’t show Epstein that I could tell. Doesn’t even show his cell door. Doesn’t even show the cell block he was supposedly located in. Doesn’t even show the steps leading up to that cell block and doesn’t show a third of the common room where the steps are located nor the many doors in and out of that side of the room that allow easy passage to Epstein’s cell!
What an absolute fraud on the part of everyone involved!
So, Bongino doesn’t get to wipe his hands clean by storming off because of how Bondi dealt with this mess, as we’ll read about all over the headlines presented on Monday.
I am however, going to pass along this tidbit that I didn’t have time to mention in an editorial:
Another coverup? Israel says it may have to go back to war with Iran to finish the job that Trump said was complete…
Here were the headlines from Thursday, July 10:
Israel admits some of Iran’s underground uranium stockpile SURVIVED Trump’s blitz and threatens to strike bases again
Some of Iran’s Enriched Uranium Survived Attacks, Israeli Official Says
So, after all of the Peace President’s boasting about how “completely destroyed”/“obliterated” Iran’s nuclear capabilities are—which I pointed out seemed awfully premature, given how impossible it would be to examine down deep enough into the ground to attain such knowledge so quickly—we now have word from Israel that enough of Iran’s uranium stockpile survived the bunker-busting bombs that Israel says they may have to attack Iran’s bases again.
Well, there goes the ceasefire if that happens. Maybe Trump will talk them out of it in order to shore up his opportunity for winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
Doubts remained about whether Iran quietly removed 408.6 kgs of uranium from its most sensitive sites before the strikes - potentially hiding nuclear material elsewhere in the country.
That was a rather gaping flaw in the whole program that I called out, as did others, by pointing to that very long line of trucks lined up outside the nuclear enrichment facilities that pulled out just before the bombing—some of which I noted looked like they have moved over to an adjacent facility that is reportedly buried deeper and that did not show any signs of having been bombed in the photos provided by the US government.
The amount of material that cannot be accounted for is enough to make nine bombs if it is refined the rest of the way from its current 60% purity to the 90% level needed to become bomb-grade. The article is unclear as to whether the uranium escaped via those trucks or is just buried in the bomb holes with no one able to account for it being there.
It does not sound, however, like Israel plans an imminent attack:
Israel would have enough time to attack Iran's nuclear facilities again if the regime tries to recover it.
Tehran admitted that Operation Midnight Hammer - which saw American B-2 Spirit bombers drop more than a dozen GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator bunker buster bombs - did cause "excessive and serious" damage.
But it was not clear immediately if the strikes - which hit Iran's Fordow nuclear enrichment plant, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities - were able to wipe out the entire stockpile of enriched uranium.
The president, however, has already assured us of total success:
In an interview with Fox News, the US president said the Fordow enrichment site was "just thousands of tons of rock" and that "the whole place was just destroyed." He said the strikes had landed at "the perfect time".
He added: "We went in, we destroyed their nuclear capability and we stopped. It was a beautiful thing and they couldn't have gone on much further."
Everything was perfect. Just like we have video that perfectly shows us that Epstein could not have been murdered and just like we know there is no one to prosecute in the Epstein case, nor even a case left to be made, because, while the DoJ has claimed it knows of more than a thousand victims, it doesn’t know of any victimizers.
So, Mr. You-Can-Take-His-Word-On-It has assured us there is also nothing left to see of a nuclear program in Iran:
Mr. Trump has stuck to his insistence that the Iranian program was “obliterated,” and that Iran’s leaders were no longer interested in nuclear weapons after being struck by American warplanes. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said the bombing left the fuel and equipment at the most protected site, Fordo, “buried under a mountain, devastated and obliterated.”
The administration kept to that line on Thursday. “As President Trump has said many times, Operation Midnight Hammer totally obliterated Iran’s nuclear facilities,” said Anna Kelly, a White House spokeswoman. “The entire world is safer thanks to his decisive leadership.”
Uh huh. The entire female population is safer now that Trump has discovered there were no rapists among the Epstein clients, too. No one apparently knows what was inside of those trucks that came to tunnel entrances at the Isfahan enrichment site and then left, but the president has assured us that the material is difficult to move, so it couldn’t have happened. Contrary to the Prez.,
Rafael Grossi, the secretary general of the International Atomic Energy Agency … has said he believes that much of the stockpile that was stored at Isfahan was transferred from the site before Israeli and American weapons struck.
The president staked his claim, not on any evidence about the trucks, but on his basis that it was hard to move the material, even though earlier articles had said it could be moved in the trunk of a car. Ultimately, I supposed it could be refined down to where it fits in a suitcase. We’ve heard of suitcase bombs for nukes. However, the president has assured us it could not be moved in a matter of a few days in a dozen large trucks.
Still, he doesn’t appear to know what was moved in the trucks, or he would say so. Maybe like crimeless victims, the trucks were just place holders. They were used for moving nothing. Nothing to see here, Folks. Move along. That seems to be the way Team Trump deals with the most important matters in this world.
If the trucks did successfully move enriched uranium from the sites …
Israel and the United States could be entering a new era of hide-and-seek. Iran seems unlikely to try to rebuild its nuclear sites at Fordo or Natanz. Even Fordo, built deep inside a mountain, was far more vulnerable than its Iranian designers had believed. (One key vulnerability was the existence of ventilation shafts that went deep into the plant; the American attack included strikes that sent the 30,000-pound bombs into those shafts, enabling them to plunge closer to the control rooms and enrichment halls than if they had to blast through the rock.)
Oddly, no one seems to have bothered to know where the trucks went, nor made any effort to stop them. At least, not that they are saying.
