Welcome to The Now

 

 

 

  Via the BBC : A modelling scout linked to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has been found dead at his home. Daniel Siad, 69, was discovered on Monday in Colombes, a north-west suburb of Paris, the Nanterre prosecutor's office confirmed to the BBC. [SNIP] Siad's name appeared thousands of times in the Epstein files released by the US government. He had previously denied any knowledge of the threat that Epstein posed. Here's another (French-based) story on Siad's passing: Also, here's a video of Siad giving his account on his relationship with Epstein:

 

 

 

 

 In some part, the War on Iran was supposed to get the Epstein Files off the American front page (sure the Policy Papers say attacking Iran is part of the US geopolitical plan, but there can always be more than one reason to conduct war). And for some time, this actually worked, especially when the President of the United States began threatening Iran with total annihilation. Thankfully in that ordeal a "ceasefire" was met. And with Attorney General Pam Bondi sacked, it seemed like Epstein might become a story in America's rear view. Then this happened: Even crazier was this happened a bit after : Was this really a response to immigration (which resulted in murdered Minnesotans and Kristi Noem being "reassigned")? Or maybe a not-to-subtle threat to his wife? Trying to decipher this -especially given that the person in question is emotionally stunted, self-centered, and has a fragile ego- is an exercise that mostly moot because something else is bound to pop of...

 

 I'll admit that after what happened with Hezbollah and then Syria , it wasn't crazy to think that Israel and the United States had effectively crushed the Axis of Resistance. Yemen, while resolute, could only do so much. Iraq wasn't considered a factor. The other Arab states in the Persian Gulf were either "neutral" or loyal to the US/Israeli side. Iran was thought to be standing alone. And "help" from other allies were not coming. Russia was supposed to be too busy with Ukraine. China was still war-avert; preferring to continue with their plan for true global economic independence (or in the eyes of America: economic dominance). Iran was thought to be standing alone. Then, with the double-dose of "success" in Venezuela and pressure connected to the Epstein Files (and apparently with the lessons of the 12-Day War forgotten), President Trump decided to have the US team up with Israel and attack Iran. And now?

 Let's not forget the source of every distraction (both serious and silly) we're experiencing: calls for the "Epstein Files" (aka, the names of the accused abusers and details of their actions) to be released. To that end, MintPress News highlights Epstein-related revelations that may have flown under the radar , including: Epstein's role in war with Iran; How Epstein leaned on noted people like Noam Chomsky and Steve Bannon; Epstein's impact on internet culture; Who was possibly responsible for Epstein's death.

  If this is true, I say:

 

 

Going by the comments of many in the know of Iran, last year's attack (as well as this year's "grassroots uprising") went the way it did due to the element of surprise, which doesn't appear to be the case anymore: Of course, time will tell.

 

 

 

 The Banking Class and Jeffrey Epstein seemed to think so: It does present an interesting theory: that Black Lives Matter was essentially co-opted by the Democratic Party (and affiliates) to prevent it from becoming another Occupy Wall Street movement.
