They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny Him, being abominable and disobedient and worthless for any good deed. Titus 1:16

There’s a story that after World War II, an American GI who was part of the Occupation Force asked a German if he was a Nazi.

The German answered, “Yes. I am a Nazi.”

The GI said, “Congratulations! You’re the first German I’ve met who says he was a Nazi.”

Listening to the members of the Billionaire Pedophiles’ Club whose names have turned up in the Epstein files is, as Yogi Berra said, “Deja Vu all over again.”

It’s like seeing that story about the German and the GI played out in real life, only none of the billionaire pedophiles are admitting to being what they are.

The truth according to them is that they had no idea at all that Jeffrey Epstein was running a vicious pedophile club for billionaires where sadistic rich men got to rape little girls over and over again.They say they never saw any little girls, they never heard of any little girls, and certainly not any little boys. They were just in it for the free plane rides and chicken sandwiches.

I expect any day to hear one of them claim that he thought Epstein was running a Sunday night Bible study and hymn-sing for lonely billionaires on that island of his.

The President of the United States blocked releasing these files in every way that he could.

First, he nominated Pam Bondi as Attorney General. This is the same Pam Bondi who was Attorney General in Florida when Epstein’s little-girl sex trafficking and rapist club for pedophile billionaires first came to light. She’s the same Pam Bondi who refused to prosecute Epstein, even after everyone knew what he was.

Then, Trump’s AG, Pam Bondi, told the press that she had the Epstein Files sitting on her desk (which, given the millions of files there are, was quite a brag) and would release them soon.

Then, Trump’s AG, Pam Bondi said that the Epstein Files don’t exist, that the Epstein Files were another one of those “hoaxes” Trumpy Boy likes to talk about.

Then, Bondi sent Trump’s newly minted Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, to a federal prison to “talk’ to Ghislaine Maxwell, who was Epstein’s partner in running his rape of little girls by billionaires club.

There were several problems with this, but the one that glares out like the spotlights on an airport runway is that, before Trump put Todd Blanche in the Justice Department, and before he got to be the head of the Epstein Files cover up, Todd Blanche had been Trump’s very own private attorney. They’re not even trying to hide the fact that this whole deal is a Trump-designed, Trump-backed cover-up.

Shortly after that oh-so-odd “interview” with Trump’s private attorney … er … the “Deputy Director of the Department of Justice,” the oh-so-trust-worthy Maxwell issued a statement from behind bars that said, essentially, Trump never did nothin’.

You gotta believe the woman who procured kids to be repeatedly raped by the billionaire bros, right? I mean, would someone like that lie to get favorable treatment behind bars or even — dare I say it? — a Presidential Pardon further on down the road, say the last night Trump is in office, just before he leaves?

Trump’s whore media followed up this “interview” with attempts to white wash Maxwell and paint her as the victim. They also tried to claim that raping 12 and 13 year olds isn’t all that bad.

In the meantime, Maxwell was transferred from the prison where she had been (and where she belongs) to a so-called “country club” prison. Was that a down payment on a pardon someday in the future?

When members of Congress out-voted Trump’s stooge House Speaker and forced the release of the files, AG Pam Bondi put — you guessed it — Trump’s very own attorney, Deputy Director Todd Blanche, in charge of “redacting” them. Then, Bondi and Blanche drug their feet on releasing them for so long that there was talk of impeaching Bondi.

What they finally released was undoubtedly the most white washed version of the files they could produce. There are still millions of flies they have flat out said they won’t release, which, in case you’re keeping score, violates the law Trump’s “justice” department is supposed to enforce.

In short, I doubt if any rational person believes that what we’ve been given is the full Epstein Files.

The Epstein Files are evidently such a pile of sickening, sadistic criminality that there simply is no way to really clean them up. What is left after months of redacting and dipping and dodging and lying and hiding is bad enough to turn the stomach of any sane, decent person.

In spite of all the lying, delaying and covering up, the files we’ve seen still contain reports that the victims themselves made to authorities — which were never investigated, by the way — that Trump raped, beat and threatened to murder little girls.

The question is, if this is the cover-up, what horrors are in the files they won’t release? I would guess that the files may contain actual proof of the allegations. Videos, maybe? Photos of people in the act? Whatever it is, it must be something normal people can’t even imagine.

The carefully curated, white-washed, “redacted” and sanitized files still tell a tale of a hard core club of sadistic billionaire pedophiles who had the time of their lives raping little girls and laughing about it afterwards.

The wails and moans of these greedy powerful “men” are a little difficult to listen to. Coming from these poor, tragic billionaires, their cries of poor-poor-pitiful-me are … well … dark comedy.

Part 2, tomorrow …

Note: Yes. Bill Clinton is in the files. So is Bill Gates. So are a lot of other very prominent and powerful men; heads of universities, owners of professional athletic teams; the supposed pillars of our society. But none of them is president of the United States of America. None of them has a private army out in the streets gunning down American citizens and then backing their murders. None of them took over Venezuela to get oil for his oily buddies. None of them took away the health care of millions of Americans. None of them wanted to invade Greenland. None of them tore down the White House, accepted a “free” jet from Qatar and gave Qatar an air force base in Idaho. I have no use for any baby-raping dirt bag. I’m going to get to everybody. But I’m also going to keep the main thing as the main thing. And the main thing is the man who is President of the United States right now.
