The oil was going to private companies and, in reality, had been for years, under the guise of fake terrorism, \u201cISIS\u201d and as most are aware, under the US occupation of Iraq as well. so many years before. Thus, Trump\u2019s announcement was nothing really new, just arrogance on Trump\u2019s part and ignorance of his real role, as \u201cliar in chief\u201d of a government controlled by international gangsters.<\/p>\n<p>It was Russia that stood up and told the world, those nations with access to free press, that the oil was being stolen and given to foreign corporations that paid off American politicians who rented out the American military.<\/p>\n<p>That story was told by Marine General Smedley Butler during the 1930s, who had admitted these now famous words, \u201cI was a gangster for Wall Street.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The next wrinkle here was Britain\u2019s role, that political processes in Britain were being secretly financed by oil money from the British firms also operating in Syria, stealing oil, paying politicians, controlling elections there and destroying Britain\u2019s truncated version of democracy, such as it is.<\/p>\n<p>Let us now broaden the issue a bit. A recent episode of the TV drama Evil, a series about Vatican investigators of exorcism and prophesy, opened some new doors. In America it is always fiction that is closest to reality, a story we could tell a thousand times.<\/p>\n<p>The plot involved an alleged prophet the Church sought to verify. During the questioning, investigators asked of the death of Jeffrey Epstein. The alleged prophet, one whose track record was more than amazing said God told her that Epstein was murdered to protect powerful men from exposure. More curious still is that the network that carries that series is owned by Rupert Murdock, certainly not involved in the alleged Epstein murder, now public record according to recent autopsy findings, but that Murdoch is certainly a close friend of those most would suggest may stand accused, should justice in America prevail, something quite unlikely.<\/p>\n<p>But what was Epstein about, his death, the allegations of child sex trafficking and less publicly of a blackmail ring that compromised politicians?<\/p>\n<p>Access to insider information not available to the public, using contacts inside the nuclear weapons industry, a very different story evolves, one more sinister than that which the conspiracy theorists allege, one that, in fact, may well prove most conspiracy bloggers to be as most long suspect, paid elements of intelligence agency disinformation programs.<\/p>\n<p>Here is where things become frightening.<\/p>\n<p>During the 1990s, President Clinton was deeply compromised by a sex scandal involving Monica Lewinsky, which led to Clinton\u2019s impeachment, though he finished his term in office as a \u201cdamaged president.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t just Clinton. Evidence of deep penetration of the US Department of Energy, the prime agency behind America\u2019s nuclear weapons program, DARPA, America\u2019s ultra-secret scientific research agency and the US Air Force organization that designs space weapons and even more classified technologies, has come forward.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, investigations of these leaks of latest generation nuclear weapons, \u201ckiller satellites\u201d and many more, things we will not and certainly cannot list here, were quashed at orders of the aforementioned \u201ccompromised president.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Where this involves Epstein is a more curious story, one so classified we can only speak of it in broad terms though the information we have isn\u2019t broad at all, it is highly specific and devastating.<\/p>\n<p>With all the investigation of Epstein, the \u201cLolita Express\u201d and his private island, nothing is said of the \u201cZorro Ranch\u201d in New Mexico. The facility is on land whose history, and we must be careful here, establishes a series of relationships between Epstein and powerful politicians who live nearby, some who benefitted from Epstein contributions.<\/p>\n<p>The network of Epstein associates there include the chiefs of the Department of Energy and top weapons scientists developing \u201cafter next generation\u201d weapons.<\/p>\n<p>It has long been known that Epstein has courted scientists around the US including funding projects and hosting conferences. It is also known that Epstein\u2019s closes personal associate is the daughter of a powerful individual openly alleged to have operated a major spy ring inside Britain, someone who is also openly alleged to have been murdered by the Mossad.<\/p>\n<p>What is key to add to the mix is that Epstein\u2019s \u201cZorro Ranch\u201d is situated in the middle of the weapons technology center of the United States, near key labs that design nuclear weapons, rail guns, spy systems, \u201cdeath rays\u201d and so much more.<\/p>\n<p>We also know that news reporting of this, of his ranch at all, of its history and his contacts within America\u2019s scientific defense community are totally censored.<\/p>\n<p>Past this, some involved with Epstein, according to our sources, were, during the 1990s under investigation for the theft of nuclear secrets and the looting of America\u2019s nuclear storage facility in Amarillo, Texas.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with the head of that multi-agency operation, a number of top Washington officials faced arrest for facilitating the theft of 350 nuclear \u201cpits,\u201d which were stolen and sold. The full details were given including an air crash in Mali where a plane loaded with stolen nuclear weapons crashed.<\/p>\n<p>The photo files of this mission are available along with the names of investigators on this program, names like John Wheeler III, John O\u2019Neill and Roland Carnaby, all murdered.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, we also have the names of American nuclear scientists from White Sands National Proving Grounds, the Livermore Labs, the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center at Kirtland Air Force Base and other facilities that are there but don\u2019t publicly exist, that have died unexpectedly.<\/p>\n<p>Many have ties with Genie Oil, a company now illegally drilling for oil on Syria\u2019s Golan Heights and is allegedly involved in oil and gas exploration inside terrorist occupied Idlib Province in Syria, according to sources.<\/p>\n<p>Other projects penetrated by Epstein including those involving advanced \u201cenergetic materials,\u201d new chemical explosives that rival nuclear weapons, said to be a benefit for the construction industry but funded by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, an organization that has rained cruise missiles on nation upon nation during recent decades.<\/p>\n<p>The Epstein facility, with its deep ties to an alleged nuclear spy ring at the highest levels of US government, located moments away from nearly every key research facility and protected by a wall of silence adds a new dimension to the Epstein murder. From the New York Times:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA forensic pathologist hired by Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s brother disputed the official finding in the autopsy of his death, claiming on Wednesday that the evidence suggested that he did not take his own life but may have been strangled.<\/p>\n<p>The New York City medical examiner\u2019s office concluded in August that Mr. Epstein had hanged himself in his jail cell while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.<\/p>\n<p>But the private pathologist, Dr. Michael Baden,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/forensic-pathologist-jeffrey-epstein-homicide-suicide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said on the morning TV show \u201cFox &amp; Friends<\/a>\u201d that Mr. Epstein, 66, experienced a number of injuries \u2014 among them a broken bone in his neck \u2014 that \u201care extremely unusual in suicidal hangings and could occur much more commonly in homicidal strangulation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that the evidence points to homicide rather than suicide,\u201d said Dr. Baden, who\u00a0observed\u00a0the autopsy done by city officials.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Baden, a former New York City medical examiner and a Fox News contributor, added, \u201cI\u2019ve not seen in 50 years where that occurred in a suicidal hanging case.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The findings by Dr. Baden were\u00a0strongly\u00a0disputed by the city\u2019s chief medical examiner, Dr. Barbara Sampson, who\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/08\/16\/nyregion\/jeffrey-epstein-autopsy-results.html?module=inline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">previously ruled<\/a>\u00a0that Mr. Epstein\u2019s death on Aug. 10 in the Metropolitan Correctional Center was a suicide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Baden is more than convincing, Epstein was murdered but Epstein was never the \u201cparty boy\u201d alleged.<\/p>\n<p>Well then, where is the threat one might ask?<\/p>\n<p>Consider this, the United States has a \u201cblack budget\u201d of tens of billions of dollars and a \u201cwhite budget\u201d of nearly 500 trillion dollars for military hardware and research.<\/p>\n<p>Add to that funds allegedly gained through stealing oil and running heroin from Afghanistan or any number of other potential rackets, including but not limited to manipulation of world commodity and currency markets through the now unpredictable and irrational machinations of the US government and its leaders and we are talking \u201cbig money,\u201d and we mean \u201ctrillions\u201d not billions.<\/p>\n<p>Then we are given the new America with secrecy everywhere, dozens of new agencies, advanced AI around every corner, 5g and even 6g technology coming online and then we add this. America, governmentally at least, ignores international laws, its own treaties and thinks nothing of violating the sovereignty of any nation.<\/p>\n<p>One can and should also accept that all American elections long ago lost any sense of credibility.<\/p>\n<p>What can we assume?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Unimaginable weapons are being built<\/li>\n<li>Said same are being sold to the highest bidder, which is likely to include super-national criminal conspiracies<\/li>\n<li>A new standard of criminality unseen since Hitler is now openly American policy<\/li>\n<li>Institutions capable of stopping this threat no longer exist and any nation that stands up to, do we call it America or simply tell the truth and say \u201corganized crime\u201d will be destroyed, first economically then militarily<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What we do know is those who fight back are certainly censored, we\u2019ve seen that, Facebook, Google, YouTube and Twitter. We\u2019ve also seen them imprisoned, murdered or simply \u201cdisappeared.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Others are simply smeared, starting with Wikipedia and phantom websites, then moving on to the mainstream media.<\/p>\n<p>Who is doing this? Who is in charge? Who would want to destroy an entire planet? Who enjoys human suffering? Are these questions too simplistic, too \u201cblack and white?\u201d Are we in a war for survival and, thus far losing miserably? Who is \u201cwe?\u201d We is \u201call of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Gordon Duff is a Marine combat veteran of the Vietnam War that has worked on veterans and POW issues for decades and consulted with governments challenged by security issues.
