Epstein has started to feel like Watergate to me, yet very different

[hvn_nbr_2]

I'm old enough to remember going through Watergate. It now feels to me that the Epstein stuff has reached the stage of "inevitable unfolding." At some point, Woodward & Bernstein's unfolding of the Watergate story and the Congressional investigation of it reached the point that it was coming out inevitably.

We've reached that point with Epstein. And yet there's a weird difference: We already know the essence of this story. Trump and gazillions of rich powerful men raped, abused, and subjugated untold numbers of children over a period of decades. A worldwide conspiracy of pedophiles ran rampant for decades. The unfolding now involves filling in the details, identifying the rest of the conspirators, and having some consequences.

Consequences are now happening for the pedophile conspirators in Europe, worldwide, and somewhat in the business world, but not for Trump or other Americans. The reason is big differences between 1970s America and today's America. In the 1970s Woodward and Bernstein worked for a journalistic outfit, the Washington Post. Today, the Washington Post is the Bezos Propaganda Rag. In the 1970s, there were lots of journalistic outfits; today there is Plutocracy Pravda, serving the interests of their billionaire owners.

In the 1970s also, there were still some sane and honest Republicans in Congress, people like Howard Baker. Today nearly all Republicans in Congress are subservient vassals of the Pedophile-in-Chief. But looking at the unredacted parts is causing cracks in that stone wall. Even for otherwise depraved Republicans, the details of the pedophilia are just a bridge too far. That's part of what makes the unfolding seem inevitable now.

Even Alex Jones and Steve Bannon are jumping ship. The unfolding is inevitable. Hold on to your hats.
