Jeffrey Epstein shipped $100K cement truck to ‘Pedophile Island’ three weeks before damning expose was released

Via The Daily Mail

Jeffrey Epstein had a $100,000 cement truck shipped express to his Caribbean island three weeks before an expose was published which led to his arrest, DailyMailTV can exclusively reveal.

The pedophile, who was found dead by apparent suicide on Saturday while awaiting trial for sex trafficking, got the Carmix 5.5 XL self-loading concrete mixer delivered to Little St. James on November 7 last year.

Epstein was in such a hurry that he paid for the machine upfront so it would arrive sooner – even though it meant being responsible if it got damaged in transit.

Three weeks later the Miami Herald published a series of articles called ‘Perversion of Justice’ on November 28, which eventually led to Epstein being arrested in July.

Shipping experts told DailyMailTV that the possibility that it was ‘used to literally cover up evidence cannot be discounted’.

Among the other items that Epstein had sent to Little St. James in the US Virgin Islands was a dentist’s chair complete with all the parts, DailyMail.com can reveal.

Epstein also sent a tile and carpet extractor that weighed 191 pounds from the US Virgin Islands to his New York home on March 11 this year.

Jeffrey Epstein Fallout Shows How Little Trust Americans Have in Media and Government

Via American Greatness

The reaction to the news Saturday morning that sex-trafficker-to-the-stars Jeffrey Epstein reportedly had committed suicide while in federal custody was nearly universal: No one was buying the “official” story.

Hashtags about the Clintons’ suspected culpability in Epstein’s death immediately dominated social media. People who had predicted Epstein would be dead before he faced trial felt vindicated. Suspicions about the “official line” on Epstein’s suicide were bipartisan. Trump foes on the Left, eager to pin the death on the president and his attorney general, proffered their own skepticism about what happened Saturday at a federal prison in Manhattan: “You don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist to see an evil coverup to protect lots of powerful men here. You’d have to be bizarrely naive not to,” tweeted Harvard law professor and Trump hater Laurence Tribe.

Politicians from both sides of the political aisle, from Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) to Senator Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), demanded an investigation into what happened. The convoluted tale of how Epstein got away with his vile crimes took another final, dark twist.

Independent-minded pundits along with millions of American posed the same questions: Why was Epstein not on suicide watch? How did such a high-profile accused criminal who had attempted to kill himself a few weeks ago have access to any contraband that would facilitate his suicide wish? Did someone get to him in prison, or was someone bought off to turn the other way while Epstein tried to end his own life?

In another time, these questions and more would have been raised by investigative reporters working at the country’s elite news organizations. Editors and publishers would have dispatched their most dogged journalists to the prison and the hospital where Epstein was pronounced dead. Opinion writers would have been outraged that the day after court documents implicated two Democratic Party elders in his case, Epstein was found dead, taking his sick stories with him to the grave.

But there was little to no interest by major news outlets or opinion websites to counter the sketchy details that were emerging throughout the weekend. Cassandra Fairbanks, a reporter for Gateway Pundit, waited for six hours on Saturday outside the Metropolitan Correctional Center where Epstein had been incarcerated and only came in contact with two other reporters: One from the New York Post and one from the Daily Mail. A few photographers and videographers stopped by occasionally for footage.

Suddenly, rather than focus its attention on the alleged suicide of one of the most notorious and politically connected sex traffickers in history, the media instead targeted those malicious “conspiracy theorists” who refused to accept as fact the questionable circumstances around Epstein’s death. The media’s collective attitude is best summed up with this tweet posted by Politico early Sunday morning: “Jeffrey Epstein’s death has brought conspiracy theories into the political mainstream, with some influential people unable to take the details at face value.”

Racism In America

Via Lew Rockwell

In today’s America, while everyone is allowed to be proud of his religion, race, and the hellholes he or his parents left behind, there is one group of people who are expected to feel guilty about their race. These are people of European origin, exactly the people who are the reason behind the grand success of America, and for much of the intellectual capital of humanity. They are made to feel guilty because they, apart from East Asians, are the only people who have the potential to feel guilt and shame.

In the land of the free, today any accusation against people of European origin for being racist is all that it takes to destroy their career and social life.

Last year in Philadelphia, a few black men were at a Starbucks. They had not bought anything, so the manager quite rightly asked them to either buy something or leave. The men insisted on staying put without offering any business. The police were called. I thought that the company would honor the manager. Instead, Starbucks apologised, offered free coffee to blacks, and ran a course of diversity for its employees. I no longer offer my custom to Starbucks.

Recently, a white person politely asked a black man who had tailgated behind him into a secured building to wait outside the building. The black man instead of politely leaving, video recorded the incident and claimed racism. Not to be left behind, CNN posted that video in their headline news. Worried about looking racist, the police stayed back.

Increasingly black criminals have a free license to do what they want.

VIOLENT LEFT: Ilhan Omar’s Congressional Challenger Chased Out of Event by Masked ANTIFA Thugs with Weapons

Via Big League Politics

Danielle Stella, the only declared Republican challenger for 2020 attempting to unseat Somali socialist Rep. Ilhan Omar in Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, was accosted by ANTIFA thugs earlier this month.

Stella infiltrated an ANTIFA event in Minneapolis, MN on Aug. 6. She witnessed the domestic terror group’s ongoing “Border Resistance Tour” to promote their plan to obstruct border enforcement in El Paso, TX from Sept. 1 to Sept. 10, as they hope abolish ICE and allow third-world migrants to flood the borders unabated.

“Instead of doing their court cases on the U.S. side of the border, they are applying for asylum at a point of entry around U.S. soil on the border, and then are being sent back to Mexico to whatever border town they were in, and they have to be doing their court process while remaining there,” one ANTIFA organizer said via a Skype call-in to the Minneapolis event.

Stella was only able to capture a few minutes of the discussion that was taking place before she was ushered out of the event, and that is when the left-wing intimidation began.

“I was leaving. I went out the back way, and she followed me to the parking lot, and she said ‘nope, you need to get off the property completely,’ and started complaining I wasn’t doing it fast enough,” Stella said.

The woman who was barking threats was accompanied by male ANTIFA thugs armed with a weapons meant to intimidate Stella into submission.

“One of the ANTIFA men had a baseball bat, and another one had a cattleprod. They decided to give me 30 seconds, and they also threatened to call the police on me while holding weapons and wearing their ANTIFA riot gear,” she said.

How Trump Straws Illustrate A Key Point About The Culture War

Via The Federalist

President Trump’s knack for picking the right fights, and then fighting the right way, is the best in modern politics, and that’s largely because his interests transcend conventional political boundaries, and his conduct flouts them.

Let’s consider this in the context of straws. Step one is recognizing the national proliferation of paper straws as a nonpartisan and apolitical gripe over a partisan and political product. Step two is using that gripe to persuade a nonpartisan audience that plastic straws are a casualty of the left’s radical effort to transform life as we know it. Trump is one of the few people capable of successfully fulfilling that mission.

Reportedly at the urging of manager Brad Parscale, the president’s campaign slapped “TRUMP” on some reusable straws, sold them in $15 packs of ten, and in less than two weeks made almost $500,000—some 40 percent of which came from first-time donors.

“Liberal paper straws don’t work. STAND WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP and buy your pack of recyclable straws today,” is how the campaign captions its product. Trump has, of course, has mounted no policy thrust against paper straws, most of which are mandated in localities or by corporations. That doesn’t matter. For better or worse, he’s successfully cast himself as the symbolic bulwark against cultural leftism. Again, it’s a role that transcends the left-right divide.
