idea is that Epstein wasn't so much about being a sexual blackmailer, although he might have done a little bit of it, but he might be better understood as a financial manipulator and money launderer who may have made his services available to a variety of entities. Some of which might have been intelligence related and some of which may not necessarily have been US intelligence related. So we don't know that part, but I'm kind of warming to that because that would explain why the Epstein files are not having the secrets we expected because he's probably good at hiding his financial stuff. That was his expertise that to hide the financial trails of who did what where. And the theory would be that he would just know everybody who had money and he would know everybody who needed money for things that maybe the intelligence community wanted done, but they didn't want their fingerprints on it and they didn't have a budget to do it themselves. So they would go to Epstein and then they say, you know, if you could find a billionaire who would give $10 million to this entity that sounds like it's some charity, we would use that money for things that would be really good for the country. So can you go get us that money? And maybe, as Mike Benz points out, the sex part of it might have been something that was just good for convincing some rich people, maybe in other countries especially to work with them. So if you were some Middle East billionaire and Epstein came by and said, "Hey, how would you like to party? And by the way, I could use a billion dollars for some project or something." Not to him, but maybe we could get a slice of that business. Maybe that's how we got rich. So there's that.

Speaking also of Mike Benz, he asked this question. He said that Julian Assange is a free man now, and he should tell us what he meant by this clip. It was a clip where he talked about Seth Rich. If you've ever seen that clip, it was quite a while ago, but Julian Assange talked about Seth Rich, the young man who was a Democrat who got murdered on the street. And some people said that he was a source for WikiLeaks. And then Assange, who was at WikiLeaks, was talking about Seth Rich and he made it really clear to the interviewer and the audience that Seth Rich was their source and that that's why he got killed. Now, I don't know that that's true. I just know that Assange made sure that you believed he was saying that. Now, he didn't say it. He just made sure you knew that that's what he was thinking. So he did the indirect thing, but the indirect thing was so clear that he very clearly said, "Yeah, Seth Rich got murdered for being a WikiLeaks source." So yeah, if Julian Assange is free to talk, maybe we should find out what he meant by that. But the fact that he didn't tell us directly before suggests he might have a reason not to do it directly again. So don't know if that would work or not.

RFK Jr., the HHS secretary says the US is going to reject the World Health Organization's pandemic measures. So I guess the World Health Organization or WHO has some ideas for all the member countries of what they should do if there's another pandemic, but the last thing we want to do is follow their advice. So it looks like we're going to reject that.
