Three Odd Things About Epstein (Now That He's Dead)

 1.  This year....some information came up and lays down a path of money transfer....with Epstein's millions....going through Russian banks.  Hundreds of millions?  Yeah.

Why? Unknown.

Was he buying something?  No evidence.

2.  Epstein’s close contacts in Russia?  Well....Sergei Belyakov, a graduate of the FSB Academy and former Russian Deputy Minister of Economic Development, who later headed the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF)....was a 'friend'.

3.  Connections to Moscow 'models'?  This comes up often....that he continually had them for services.

All of this suggesting that FSB might have been his  'bosses'?  No....just that he knew banks, models, and FSB 'players'.

Eight Things I Might Admit

 1.  Over the past decade, if you'd drawn me into a talk, and suggested to me some NPR facts....I would have regarded you as fairly biased, and easily manipulated.

2.  If your state is paying $20,000 per school kid (out of taxes), and can't readily explain pronouns in general, can't read at his school level or the next one down, and seems to be lost on math....the $20,000 is being flushed down the toilet (daily).

3.  Jerome Powell (Fed 'boss')....is probably over his head.

4.  Former CIA 'boss' Brennan...is probably going to jail.  

5.  I'm kinda surprised that both Time and Newsweak still exist.

6.  If you have a list of 20 things that might trigger you...into a emotional fit....you might want to find some Pacific isle and just resign from life.

7.  I think both SF, LA and Minneapolis will be at the Detroit-level within two years.

8.  The only shocker to come out of the Owens/Macron court case....is that Mrs Macron has had 20-odd plastic surgical events, and is 100-percent woman (from day one on).

This Cambodia/Thailand 'War'?

If you haven't noticed in the past month....there's a bit of chaos brewing between Thailand and Cambodia.  

Cause?  This is mostly over a LONG-standing border dispute....near the ancient Khmer temples (Preah Vihear and Ta Moan Thom)....located along their 817km shared border. 

This argument started out about 110 years ago.....where a 1907 map that Cambodia uses to claim territory, which Thailand says is inaccurate. 

Every 10 to 20 years....tensions rise....with military clashes, with significant incidents in 2008–2011 and here again in 2025. 

Yesterday....heavy fighting broke out near the Ta Moan Thom Temple, involving gunfire, artillery, and Thai airstrikes on Cambodian military targets. Thailand says there were 14 deaths (mostly civilians) and dozens wounded, while Cambodia reported one civilian death. 

What's likely to happen?  Any minute now....Trump will see the stuff on TV....call up both countries, and ask if he can help stop the 'war'.  

The odds that the 1907 map (drawn by the French)....is incorrect?  Well....that would be a curious thing to focus on.
