Everyone is calling the fake release of the Epstein files a nothingburger. But what if releasing the files to the public was never the intention? Stormy and I argue that the files are being used as a bargaining chip against all the peoples whose names are in there…and Trump isn’t one of them. We assume that is why Cernovich is involved, because he and Alan Dershowitz (of all people) helped unseal records from Ghislane’s trial, so they know what is in there. It has to be presumed, especially because Cerno is such a Trump supporter, that they know the documents won’t damn Trump.

Also, it’s interesting that Pam Bondi and Kash Patel immediately used the situation to call out the Southern District of New York…the very district that oversaw Epstein’s imprisonment and suicide…well we all know Epstein didn’t kill himself, don’t we? The SDNY is who facilitated it and covered it up. We also argue that considering Epstein as running a Mossad blackmail extortion ring is way too narrow of a view on what he was getting up to, it goes WAY beyond that. For context and further elaboration you MUST listen to these two earlier episodes;

We discuss “The Trump Negotiating Style” and how he’s playing the Islamic countries, Israel, Ukraine, the EU, and Russia all at once. We then touch on what is apparently one of our favorite topics, the “right wingers” who snipe at Trump and Trump advocates and have meltdowns ten times a day. They’re assed out. We then discuss “Jewish puppets” and how that works. Hint: Musk, Theil, and Trump ain’t it. These conversations are always addendums and offshoots of Pete’s show, so you must listen to the following episodes between now and the next Inquisition show to get the full context of what we’re saying here:

This episode is particularly relevant to todays show;

My friend Remus and I spend 2 hours giving the backstory of the "golden era" of gaming, roughly the 2000-2010, and how it all went to hell. We only got about halfway through the actual chronology of GamerGate and didn't even touch on its (horrible) legacy, so stay tuned for part 2.

The introduction breaks the situation down for you. I highly recommend watching the videos linked below even if you don’t care about gaming! They are very much worth your time if you care about Musk. These two videos are the context and the events we speak of, and the “Quin69” video we reference is contained within both of these. But first, if you like Remus, follow these links to hear more from him, he’s awesome.
