I liked Bill’s premise of “connecting the dots”. In the Epstein case we’ll likely never be allowed to see enough dots to come up with “The Truth”. But Bill seems to think that markets are truth tellers. Maybe in the extreme long run they are (like when empires collapse), but I’m not so sure it’s going to happen in my lifetime.

Bill’s replacement at his former publisher, Ms Prins, calls what we have now “the Great Distortion”. She’s written books about the collusion among the central banks. I’m starting to think that what’s going on is an attempt at mass manipulation (through the control of money) on an international scale that has no precedent in history. So if someone is relying on honest “market signals” to connect the dots (like maybe in days of old), I’m not sure that’s going to happen anytime soon.

Tom Dyson writes about this “on again- off again” likelihood in US monetary policy. That would be pure distortion rather than an honest market. He also writes about the possibility of the US “bailing out” Japan through the purchase of their bonds. Ha!, that’s a good one. But again, that would be a dishonest market distortion (a deadbeat being bailed out by a bigger deadbeat). And who doesn’t think that buying gold this year at basically the same price as last year (an inflation adjusted 8-10% discount) isn’t a tad suspicious? Paper gold being used to suppress gold prices?

I’m connecting dots, but not the ones I believe our elites would like us to. Massive effort seems to be going into not “spooking the herd”. I don’t think we’ll ever be allowed to see enough honest market “dots” until all the central banks wear out their printers.

We’ll know the masses have caught on when the pitchfork and torches protests are on the steps of the Federal Reserve and not the Supreme Court. However, I’m not holding my breath.

This article alone is worth the $100 fee.

The American public is played like a violin (fiddle) and we seen to enjoy it.

Not 100% sure Epstein is dead. Looked suspicious to me. No body, no evidence, could have been covered and shipped out. Don't believe anything I hear or see anymore. Look for Ghislane to disappear at any time!! Lots of money and moving pieces. My dad told me son, you cannot trust this government.

Did I mention he told me that when I wanted to enlist to go to Viet Nam. 1963 it was and he never told a lie as far as i know. He said there are things going on over there that they were not talking about. He had some experience from WW2. Nuff said . . .

Great article! The only thing you left out (though you've mentioned it in previous articles) is the preposterousness of the official "finding" that Epstein committed suicide. He was murdered to silence him. Who sent the hit man? Ahhh, that's the $64,000 question! But, as you pointed out, we'll never know, because the elites don't want us to know and their lapdog media won't investigate the matter, or tell us what they learned if they DID investigate!

And Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in a New York prison while all the prison guards were on an unscheduled break. Perhaps Mr. Epstein failed to connect the biggest dot of all. Having the goods on the powerful works until it doesn’t.

And then there's John McAfee's famous last words (Tweet):

"I'm content in here. I have friends. The food is good. All is well. Know that if I hang myself, a la Epstein, it will be no fault of mine."

It has been an entire year since John McAfee died - allegedly by suicide - in a Spanish prison and since that day, authorities have refused to release his body.

Nothing to see here :-)

I would love to see a local reporter call out the local gasoline distributors to ask why the national news says gas prices have fallen to $4.88 pg while the Boise area continues almost daily price increases, now standing at $5.23 pg.

I'm old enough to remember gas price wars in the local areas. Why not have a gas price war on the national level. Pick one brand and don't buy it for a week. Then alternate next week to another brand.

Prettty much on point - which is not a major surprise, having nodded my head in agreement with a lot of Bill's musing for longer than I care to remember.

Epstein, imo, is either dead or alive, but I'd bet the farm he didn't top himself, and if he or Maxwell didn't have some sort of dead-man pedal ("I die accidentally and the truth comes out) then they're much more stupid than I thought. They must've been only to well aware of who they were playing with and how ruthless they'd be if they thought they were getting caught - so my guess is one way or another Maxwell doesn't serve out her time.

Didn't know about the Blinken connection to Rupert Maxwell; but there you go, more wheels within wheels I guess.

Not exactly related to the ups and downs of the markets, all of these shenanigans, but then again, they probably are

Bill we all conveniently ignore the "dots" through whatever filters our minds are willing to accept ..

killing little pussies/puppies/froggies is hardly a fair comparison to what's really happening in Ukraine or anywhere else in the mafia/consortium/power mongers world that you conveniently ignore to make 'your ' point .. the Russian and Chinese oligarchy/mafias have been the major benefactors of the out sourced globalized world where the inventive hard working fools have sacrificed their jobs so that someone somewhere else could produce this good idea/product for cheaper and so the stupid western world has mortgaged 2k years of civilisation/development etc to the lesser nations that have always been ruled by TYRANTS .. now they have the upper hand while the erstwhile western weaklings are trying to regain their stability and Independence .. try criticizing Russia/China who now fly to the moon on western developments in science technology or anything else you can discover and see how much FREEDOM you'll have to print .. you'll just get shut down and disappear like millions of TibetansUhighers or anyone else who disagrees with the forces of intimidation .. aren't we lucky to be able to still read your dots if they were about the other side eh? but that you don't know jack about them do you because Argentina/France/Ireland ain't even close enough to make an intelligent comparison so might I suggest you buy some property in Shanghai or Kamchatka before crucifying the western alliance ..

Bill

Who is this Queen of England you talk about? Silly Canadian boy, the last Queen of England was Elizabeth, who died without children and was succeeded by James 6th of Scotland, becoming the first of Great Britain.

Investigative journalist Whitney Webb wrote a book called One National Under Blackmail, set to be published July 22, 2022. Perhaps it will connect some dots.

A few years ago Webb interviewed many of the women who were trafficked by the Epstein group. With the women's permission she posted the unedited interviews online. What they described reaches into nearly every corner of our economic and political power structures.
