 Trumpdom No. 11 The creation of the Epstein horror.


The first volume of One Nation Under Blackmail; the sordid union of Intelligence and Organized Crime that gave rise to Jeffrey Epstein by Whitney Webb describes its contents on the back cover: “Volume 1 . . traces the origin of the network behind Jeffrey Epstein and his associates to the merging of organized crime and intelligence service doing World War II and follows their most notable activities through the decades. Various scandals, acts of corruption and other crimes throughout the last several  decades of American history, many involving sex blackmail, can be traced back to these same networks, which have subverted and taken control of many of America’s most important institutions for their benefit, and to the detriment of the public.” Volume 2 “examines the rise of Jeffrey Epstein and his closest associates such as Leslie Wexner and Ghislaine Maxwell, and contextualizes them within the organized crime intelligence networks detailed in depth in Volume I. It subsequently details their ties, with a focus on Epstein, to intelligence networks, espionage activity and the subversion of American institutions as well as the role of Epstein and the Maxwell family in the evolution of blackmail in the digital era.”

Everyone who is literate should read these volumes to understand the state of the realm today under the autocracy of U.S. President Trump and his fellow fascist leaders. Since just 50% of western nations are literate and some of the literate would not venture to pick up detailed disclosures in a vast array of characters and events that interact in a criminal venture demanding a concentration from the reader such that two or three readings are necessary to comprehend the extent of the evil engulfing us, I fear its reach will be limited. Yet this work is essential to democracy’s survival. As Ms Webb states: “Jeffrey Epstein was not an anomaly and his activities represent just the tip of the veritable iceberg.” The lawyers, bankers, businessmen, lobbyists wall-street gamblers, CIA-Mossad-FBI, etc. spy agencies, politicians and others revealed by the Epstein files partially released should alarm anyone with a sense of decency and concern for our society. Trump’s presidency reflects the criminal enterprise that managed to flourish for decades in which Donald Trump was a participant. It is reported that Trump has never read a book and his decisions in government are made by instinct influenced by a career of shady deals. His MAGA disciples mirror his ignorance. Millions of them enact his policies such as the capturing of citizens in the streets and imprisoning them in the thousands in unsavoury warehouses, such as curtailing freedom of speech and the defence of human rights and outlawing the criticism of government’s starving of millions and so on and on. The vicious police state he has created rewards the oligarchic criminals of the Epstein class such as Wexner and company who appear before Congressional committees to lie and be admired for being disgustingly rich while their organized crime connections who aided their wealthiness go unmentioned. The American society is in deep trouble and its lack of energy to save itself from destruction is owing to decades of growing criminalization  ignored by persons in responsible positions. The sex-trafficking, the abuse of children and the blackmailing of the rich who took part in the abuse would have been swept under the rug if it were not for the bravery of survivors prepared to risk their lives to expose it. The rot cannot be easily swept away, especially when politicians and their rich backers try to protect its enablers. Epstein’s and Maxwell’s ties to Israeli intelligence which captures them in obedient servitude as it does to many Jews outside of Israel exemplifies the control of U.S. Jewish organizations over U.S. policies to the extent that Americans have died fighting in wars benefiting only Israel as in the current Israeli-U.S. War on Iran. Westerners are awakening to how they have been misled and misused by the owners of media and Israeli propaganda. Although  several of Epstein’s friends were not Jewish, it appears that mostly Jews consorted with him as far as the files show. It remains for the millions of files hidden by Trump to be released to reveal the extent of Jewish collaboration in the abuse of gentile children and beautiful women. As the Jewish Torah claims and the Israeli leaders driving the genocide of Palestinians announce, all non-Jews are animals to be treated as such or worse.

These observations bring me to examine Blood Lands; Europe Between Hitler and Stalin by Timothy Snyder, another great book by a master of research into areas where few have the courage to enter.

The Blood Lands comprised Poland, the Baltic States, Soviet Belarus, Soviet Ukraine and the western fringe of Soviet Russia. Of the fourteen million civilians and prisoners of war killed there between 1933 and 1945, more than half died because they were denied food. After starvation came shooting and then gassing. In Stain’s  Great Terror of 1937—1938 nearly seven hundred thousand Soviet citizens were shot—victims of murderous policy rather than casualties of war. Not a single one of the fourteen million  murdered was a soldier on active duty. Most were women, children and the aged; none were bearing weapons; many had been stripped of their possessions, including their clothes. Of the 5.4 million Jews killed in the holocaust they were as likely to be shot as gassed. Snyder details the killings in Chapter 8, THE NAZI DEATH FACTORIES and in a later chapter ETHNIC CLEANSINGS. “About 5.7 million Jewish civilians had been murdered by the Germans and Romanians, of whom some 2.6 million were Soviet citizens in 1941. This meant not only that more Jewish civilians were murdered in absolute terms than members of any other Soviet nationality. It also meant that more than half of the cataclysm took place beyond the postwar boundaries of the Soviet Union. From a Stalinist perspective, even the experience of the mass murder of one's peoples was a worrying example of exposure to the outside world. In 1939-1941, when the Soviet Union had annexed Poland and the Germans had not yet invaded the USSR, Soviet Jews mingled with Polish Jews, who reminded them of religious and linguistic traditions, of the world of their grandparents. Soviet and Polish Jews, during that brief but important moment, lived together. Then, after the German invasion, they died together. Precisely because extermination was a fate common to Jews across borders, its recollection could not be reduced to that of an element the Great Patriotic War.”

“Soviet soldiers may have understood the rape of German women as a way to humiliate and dishonor German men. The Red Army took enormous losses as it moved west, its ranks were filled with conscripts from the Belarusian and Ukrainian Soviet republics whose families had suffered at the hands of Germans and whose young lives had been shaped by German occupation. Many Soviet soldiers thus had personal reasons to endorse the propaganda that they read and heard, which sometimes blamed the entire German nation for the Soviet tragedy. The vast majority of Red Army

soldiers were not avenging the Holocaust as such, but they were reading the propaganda of people who had been deeply wounded by the mass murder of Jews. Whatever the motivations, the outburst of violence against German women was extraordinary. Men who tried to defend daughters or wives were beaten and sometimes killed. The women had few men to protect them. Theirs were dead in battle (some five million German men had been killed in action by this point), drafted into the Wehrmacht, summoned to the emergency civil defense, or seized by the Soviets as labor. Most of the men present were aged or disabled. In some villages, every single female was raped, whatever her age. Many women died as a result of wounds sustained during successive rapes. German women often committed suicide, or tried to kill themselves, to prevent rape or to evade the shame of having been raped.”

Snyder’s book called “deeply unsettling and revelatory” should be read by those who have yet to understand the horror of war. 

Unfortunately later generations forget or deliberately dismiss the horrors when their thirst for power and wealth drive them to invade and control their neighbours. In the present I refer to Israel which in committing genocide has descended to a level of savagery rarely experienced in the history of mankind. The Americans, complicit by aiding and excusing the genocide, have joined with Israel to try to exterminate Iranians whom Israelis see as obstacles to their lust for supremacy. By “Americans” I do not indict the whole of the nation, many of whom deplore this illegal war, but the political bellicose leaders and their thoughtless supporters.

Canadians and many other peoples around the world want to disengage their nation from any consort with Israel and must endure the specious argument of some political leaders who insist that maintaining attachment will lead to peace and understanding from a Jewish people who, as is widely known, regard non-Jews as animals to be tricked and murdered indiscriminately. In the Epstein Class one finds this indifference to the suffering of their victims—the raped children and the blackmailed fools—while Trump and his oligarchs redact the Epstein files and hide or destroy thousands of others to keep their shame from greater disgust than it already is.

 Trumpdom No. 10  The origins of fascism in America


“The reason for his total commitment to the test ban treaty, a critical first step toward peace, was apparent in what Kennedy repeated to friends about his dread of nuclear war: "I keep thinking of the children, not my kids or yours, but the children all over the world. Robert Kennedy said that in the Cuban Missile Crisis "the thought that disturbed him the most, and that made the prospect of war much more fearful than it would otherwise have been, was the specter of the death of the children of this country and all the world—the young people who had no role, who had no say, who knew nothing even of the confrontation, but whose lives would be snuffed out like everyone else's. Quoted from James Douglass’ JFK and the Unspeakable, p.278


Today in January 2026 concern about children is rare. An article condemning the peoples of the world for not stopping Israel for its massacring of the women and children of Gaza by indiscriminate bombing supplied by the USA rightly predicts that this period of human history will be recorded as when humanity became inhuman through inaction and deference to Israeli propaganda enhanced by American media and financed by American oligarchs who control American politicians. Despite a ceasefire Israel continues to kill Palestinians, including babies. Trump’s government continues to arrest anyone who speaks out on behalf of the Palestinians. The Palestinian film “All That”s Left of You’ was to open in theatres in North America today, JAN 9/26, after an enthusiastic showing in European theatres but Tribute.ca, which lists films presently in theatres, could not find it. It informed us of its content—“After a Palestinian teen confronts Israeli soldiers at a West Bank protest, his mother recounts the series of events that led him to that fateful moment, starting with his grandfather's forced displacement.” The world watched on TV the killing of Ms Good by an ICE agent (Trump’s gestapo). She waited in her car for her partner to photograph the scene. ICE agents drew up in a truck, jumped out and ran to Ms Good’s car to shoot her three times at close range while she was trying to drive away. To run up to a car and begin shooting at the driver would be irrational behaviour; the ICE officer would be classified as insane unless he was ordered to kill Ms. Good. Trump’s government insists that only it can investigate the incident, when it has already decided that the victim was at fault. Under Trump, the US is a police state, reminiscent of Hitler’s Germany in the 1930s.  Most Americans did not expect the Trump Administration of loyalists to Trump to be a dictatorship, although Trump boasted that such was his aim. A right-wing political movement had been planning and silently working toward overthrowing  democratic rule with the support of Republican politicians in the US Congress. Billionaires, technocrats and fascist-minded lawyers united in secret societies targeted the laws, the constitution, and those who upheld the rights of the citizens to the point where surprised Americans realized the country was controlled by American Zionists through intimidation, riches, and propaganda from right-wing media.

Signs of these threats menacing the public throughout the years were contained. Some novelists tried to warn the public of their danger. Sinclair Lewis wrote It Can’t Happen Here—“it juxtaposes sharp political satire with the chillingly realistic rise of a president who becomes a dictator to save the nation from welfare cheats, sex, crime, and a liberal press.” Philip Roth’s The Plot Against America relates how Charles Lindbergh, the famous aviator, is elected President and engages in an “understanding” with Hitler which leads to fascist threats to destroy his family. I read both novels two or three years ago but owing to the constant barrage of bad news, lawlessness, attacks on civil liberties I have forgotten the novels’ plots but not the fear and hopelessness felt by its characters, especially in Roth’s book, and their all-consuming  power over the minds of today’s citizens trying to give battle to this insidious evil encroaching upon their lives and livelihoods. About the same time I read Allan Chase’s Falange. The Axis Secret Army in the Americas and Charles Higham’s Trading with the Enemy, The Nazi-American Money Plot 1933-1949. They are important for depicting the growth of fascism in the United States throughout the 2nd World War period, which helps explain its rise under Donald Trump.

“Early in 1934, “Chase wrote, “Adolf Hitler summoned General Wilhelm von Faupel to the Chancellory in Berlin.” When he left he had a sheet of paper that was “to affect the destinies of scores of nations, millions of people.” He was a distinguished officer in the First World War, spoke French, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese and other languages fluently, served in several areas of the world but most importantly as Inspector General of the Argentine Army, then in the Brazilian Army, then the Peruvian Army before serving in China. He maintained correspondence with enemies of democracy like Fritz Thysen, the banker Baron von Schroeder, Franz von Papen and I.G. Farben’s Georg von Schnitzler. The key to taking over all of Latin America was Spain which had  tungsten, mercury, iron, olive oil, citrus, copper, tin, lead, and potassium riches. It was the key to two continents. Von  Faupel, however, was disillusioned by the rank and file of the Spanish falange, a vast employment agency for the scum of the underworld in Spain’s larger cities. Hitler ordered Mussolini to pour thousands of troops into Spain. The non-intervention Agreement forbade shipping weapons to either side in the Spanish civil war. It was observed by England and France but the axis nations shipped to one side and the Americans while recognizing the legally constituted Republic of Spain refuse to send it arms and overlooked the invasion of Spain by German and Italian armies. “Bartered and betrayed” the Spanish government fell to fascism and Germay marched on Poland, the Low-countries and France. With Spain as the centre, the Falange quickly spread through Latin America. By October 1938 the Falange Exterior had spread over the world with Japan as an enthusiastic contributor. Chase describes the Falange’s operations in Latin America,Gestapo spies in the United States and the splinter groups such as the Sinarquistas in Mexico. Higham deals with a number of American financial and industrial figures of World War II and members of the government who pursued money before patriotism. The Bank for International Settlements in Switzlerland was declared by the bankers immune from seizure during international conflict and since many major bankers favoured fascism, Hitler soon gained sums of money from it throughout the war. American corporations cooperating with Germany undermined America intelligence operations and the secret movement of funds for German armaments such as ballbearings which were essential to the Nazis; the Luftwaffe could not fly without them, tanks and armoured cars could not move without them, Focke-Wulfs  used four thousand per plane as did Flying Fortress. Guns, bombsights, electrical generators and engines, ventilating systems, U-boats, railroads, mining machinery, ITT’s communications devices needed ballbearings. The Swedish Enskilda Bank was their chief financier, controlled 80% of bearings in Europe and dedicated 60% of its production to Germany. While its German factory produced 93% of capacity, the U.S. company produced less than 18% and the British less than that. These leaders of industry aided by Joh Foster Dulles and calling themselves the Fraternity made it possible for Germany to make war. As the war continued Germany became desperate for oil and made deals for the Standard Oil fields in Rumania. To avoid the British blockade Nazi sympathizers found roundabout routes to ship Standard Oil from America to Germany. In the first days of war Tetraethyl lead, an additive used in aviation gasoline, the rights to which were held by only by Standard, Du Pont and General Motors, indispensable to the German airforce, was sold by I.G Farben in London to Germany. Thus Hitler’s bombers were able to bomb London. The British Royal Air Force had to pay royalties to Nazi Germany through Ethyl Standard for the gasoline used to fuel the German bombers attacking London. After the war the members of the Fraternity were protected from prosecution while those who opposed its actions were destroyed by the  House Un-American Activities Committee hearings by false evidence that they were communists. “The surviving members of the Fraternity flourished again, helping to form the texture of post-war technology.” Thus the Fraternity formed the first stage in the development of what one calls today the “Epstein Class.”

In Trumdom No.11,  I discuss the astonishing research comprising two volumes entitled One Nation Under Blackmail; the sordid union between Intelligence and Organized Crime that gave rise to Jeffrey Epstein.
