NEW: Maybe it's time to take a good look at all these deaths in the Epstein-Trump orbit. jkbjournalist.substack.com/p/dead-men-t...

Dead men tell no Epstein-Trump tales
When witnesses, whistleblowers and accusers die, it’s time to look at whether they have anything in common. Here is a list of some of the recent deaths.

The Tories seem to be running the argument that inheritance tax is immoral because it means “taxing twice”. OK. Let’s go with that for a second shall we? Any other immoral taxes? VAT? Council Tax? Actually, all taxes which are paid from income already reduced by income tax and NI?

Today’s basic income proponents say cash payments would be good for everyone. In the 1790s, the idea’s inventor argued something else: It was owed to everyone.

Are global stock markets heading for a crash? Red lights flashing. Trump's tariff/military wars, supply chain disruptions, energy prices, AI bubble, unregulated shadow banks, deregulation, speculator frenzy, weigh heavy. Recession/Bailouts would follow. Innocent people will bear the cost, again.

UK politics funded by billionaires, mega-donations surge as the rich buy power. £179m donated by wealthy individuals since 2019. A cap at £100,000 or £500,000 won't do. Only the rich can enter political auctions Can't end political corruption without ending donations.

"America may still possess the world’s most advanced military. But Ukraine and Iran are demonstrating that the meaning of “advanced” is changing extraordinarily quickly. And just as that is happening, Hegseth has removed or lost many of the people the US was relying upon to figure it out."

War is changing before our eyes. Is Hegseth’s gutted Pentagon leadership able to keep up?
There is something happening in warfare right now that is profound.

Yes, the US is losing in Iran, and yes, it’s apparently out of missiles, and yes, the Navy seems busted, and yes, the senior ranks have been purged, but don’t worry, the Secretary is laser-focussed on what matters… Wait, I‘m getting a message.
