QUESTION: You said they always kill the assassin when there is a conspiracy. I think you said that about the attempted assassination of Trump. You also said that about Oswald and Epstein. You said the only question about Epstein you wrote “When will Epstein be found Dead? Before or After a Deal?” I know you are a history buff. What is the precedent for this plot?

ANSWER: This is pretty standard throughout history. The Roman Emperor Caracalla was assassinated in just such a conspiracy. A disgruntled soldier named Justin Martialis, whom future emperor Macrinus had recruited to assassinate Caracalla so he would become emperor. The soldier stepped forward and stabbed Caracalla to death. Martialis was immediately killed by one of Caracalla’s bodyguards, conveniently silencing the direct link to the conspirators. The primary conspirators also included two tribunes of the Praetorian Guard.

After the failed boat trap intended to kill his mother, Agrippina Jr., Nero had Anicetus kill her. To provide cover, Nero framed Agrippina’s freedman, Agermus, as an assassin and had him killed, claiming Agrippina’s murder was a suicide resulting from her own failed plot.

Killing the assassin ensures their silence. Oswald was killed to prevent any trial. His wife had said he was innocent, but was intimidated by the FBI. While everyone is focuses on Epstein and the people who flew to his island, that is all the distraction and it’s a good one as people think they are protecting “pedophiles.” It was a blackmail ring. The real question is who was this for. It was not for fun. All the people were high profile. They characterize the girls who accepted money and gifts somehow did not understand at 17 this was prostitution? That knowledge only comes at 18?

I have said before that Maxwell was part of the Club. Robert Maxwell did not simply “lose” money before he died; he stole approximately £460 million from his own companies’ pension funds to prop up his failing business empire. These were indeed the pension savings of his employees. While there is substantial evidence of his deep and questionable ties to Soviet/Russian intelligence, the money he stole was used to cover his massive personal and corporate debts—not directly to “manipulate Russia,” though his espionage activities were likely a significant financial drain.  Maxwell died on November 5th, 1991. This was linked to the Russian 1991 coup against Gorbachev. Epstein points out that he tried to blackmail Israel for £400 million. That probably served the justification for his death. Bill Browder was Maxwell’s right hand man covering Russia. He then went into partners with Edmund Safra and formed Hermitage Capital Management. That was the company I was solicited to put in $10 billion and I refused.

Russia experienced a profound and multifaceted financial crisis in 1991. However, it’s crucial to understand that this was not just a financial crisis in the modern sense; it was the total economic collapse of the Soviet Union, which led to the state’s dissolution in December of that year.

This crisis was a complete breakdown of the Soviet system, characterized by the failure of its core institutions. Here is a breakdown of the key dimensions of the 1991 crisis. The central government literally ran out of money. By late 1991, the Soviet state bank (Gosbank) could no longer meet its financial obligations. The Soviet Union was on the verge of defaulting on its foreign debts, with the foreign trade bank (Vnesheconombank) running out of cash

I wrote in the Plot to Seize Russia that Maxwell was widely suspected of being a triple agent, with links to MI6, the Israeli Mossad, and the Soviet KGB. The coup against Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev occurred in August 1991. It began on August 18 when he was placed under house arrest and officially commenced on August 19, collapsing just a few days later on August 21. Maxwell brokered a deal to support the 1991 coup in Russia in return for the release of all Russian Jews so they could migrate to Israel. When the coup collapsed, Maxwell was on the wrong side.

The evidence suggests his relationship with the Soviet state was one of mutual benefit. He gained unparalleled access and prestige, while they gained a useful asset with access to Western leaders and information. The money he stole was to cover the debts of his business empire, which was likely financially weakened by the costs of his espionage activities and his prestige-driven, often unprofitable, global ventures. His espionage was a separate but parallel operation to his business fraud.

I believe Maxwell took a swim aided by Mossad to ensure he was silenced. Browder abandoned ship, and the Neocons looked to blackmail Yeltsin to step down sticking in Boris Berezovsky as their puppet to run Russia. Eventually, his bodyguard said Berezovsky dod not commit suicide, he was killed by MI6 to cover up the plot to seize Russia.

They will never allow a trial when something behind the headlines will surface. In my own case, I had ZERO restitution because to impose restitution you still have to get  trial. I could have called all the bankers to the stand. They already tried to kill me. I was in a coma for three days but survived. They could not allow any trial that would expose their involvement with the bankers to take over Russia.  The bank’s involvement with the US Treasury et al shipping billions to Russia in case would have also been fully aired.
