If you already thought Donald Trump’s threats to bomb Iran were all about distracting from the Epstein files, then the odds Trump launches an all out war on Iran just went way up. That is because of the headline grabbing news Thursday morning that UK authorities had arrested former Prince Andrew for his “dealings” with Trump’s close friend, Jeffrey Epstein. Trump gets this means the Epstein files will be back dominating US headlines for days—which is exactly why the odds spiked that he launches military strikes as early as Saturday! The prospect that a panicked Trump was going to declare war on Iran was already ratcheting up on Wednesday after Rep. Ted Lieu made a jaw dropping comment about what he saw in the Epstein files. Lieu stood in front of the podium and began by saying this: “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times.” The California Rep. then added this chilling line: “In those files, there are highly disturbing allegations, allegations of Donald Trump raping children and threatening to kill children.” (See clip below from Wednesday.)  It was just literally a few hours later that we saw headlines that read, “Bombshell Report Reveals Trump Positioned For All Out War With Iran By Saturday.”
Keep in mind this new report was from Jennifer Jacobs of the pro-Trump CBS News and was based on “exclusive reporting” that “Top national security officials have told Trump the military is ready for potential strikes on Iran as soon as this weekend.” When you see an “exclusive” from CBS News--or Fox News-- it’s simply the Trump regime giving a story to these pro-Trump networks to help create a narrative. It’s apparent that this “bombshell report” was designed to distract from the growing clamor demanding Trump’s lackey Pam Bondi prosecute the powerful men involved in the Epstein scandal. As I wrote about over the weekend, Epstein operated the largest child rape and adult sex trafficking ring ever uncovered in our nation and now Bondi was engaged in the largest cover up ever seen in our nation. And all of that is designed not just to protect Trump, but also the powerful men who have helped Trump and Bondi. Worse for Trump was that numerous other nations from the UK to Poland to Norway were opening investigations into their own citizens committing crimes tied to Epstein. In France, for example, Paris prosecutors announced on Saturday they were setting up a special team of magistrates to analyze evidence that could implicate French nationals in the crimes of the convicted US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. And on Wednesday—just hours before CBS’s “exclusive reporting” on Iran attack being imminent—the Paris prosecutor called on potential victims of Epstein to come forward. Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau told the media, “We already want to stand alongside these victims,” adding, “If they wish, we will receive all the statements they would like to make, either in the form of complaints or testimony.” What a contrast to AG Bondi and her DOJ who has not even spoken with the Epstein victims—as we learned at the congressional hearing featuring Bondi last week. Of course, Trump’s DOJ did meet with Epstein’s co-conspirator in the child rape ring, Ghislaine Maxwell and then moved her to a cushy low security prison. But now Trump’s need to distract from Epstein just escalated with the arrest of the former Prince Andrew. As noted on social media, if the UK can arrest a Prince for his role in Epstein scandal, the US must be able to arrest scumbags like Donald Trump and the other men involved in this heinous child rape and women trafficking ring. While the charges former Prince Andrew is reportedly facing are about “public misconduct” for sharing with Epstein confidential UK trade information that helped Epstein’s business interests, still the headlines are all about Epstein. Certainly there are questions if Epstein ever shared this confidential business information with his close friend Trump—who in 2002 Trump referred to as a “terrific guy.” Obviously, a one day bombing of Iran won’t be enough to distract from this. That explains the news report Wednesday that “a U.S. military operation in Iran would likely be a massive, weeks-long campaign that would look more like full-fledged war than last month’s pinpoint operation in Venezuela, sources say.” Given the Prince Andrew arrest, this war may go on for many weeks to knock Epstein from the headlines. We all know that when it comes to Trump, everything he does is motivated by what helps him personally—be that financially or politically, or both. (There is beachfront property in Iran and tons of oil for his family to profit from!) But the more immediate need for Trump is political and that is to knock the Epstein story from the headlines. Trump does not care if Americans or innocent Iranians die with the potential military strikes. He only cares what is good for him. And keep in mind, we are already paying for Trump’s saber rattling with Iran when we go to gas pump. Oil prices on the world market have jumped from about $57 a barrel in late December to now more than $71. This increase is beginning to register at the pump with AAA noting gas prices per gallon are up about 6% and climbing since last month. If Trump begins bombing Iran, we can gas see prices jump 10% or more—a burden we will have to pay like with Trump’s tariffs. Trump is desperate to move on from the Epstein story—as he repeated again just weeks ago. The why is apparent. In December, then GOP Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene went public that Trump literally screamed at her for continuing to demand the release of the Epstein files, saying, “My friends will get hurt!” In reality, so will Trump. Same goes for his AG Pam Bondi who is engaged in a cover up that former federal prosector Glenn Kirschner stated to me yesterday has risen to the felony of an “accessory after the fact.” Consequently, we can expect a desperate Trump to increase his chatter about a possible Iran war—and even begin bombing by Saturday. And all of this is to distract from his role in the biggest child rape and sex trafficking scandal in our nation’s history. |
