Epstein scandal in perspective

Image
A view of Los Angeles, California WSJ, a tentacle of billionaire Rupert Murdoch’s propaganda network, stirred quite a storm by reporting on Trump’s connections with Jeffrey Epstein . In response, Trump has sued Murdoch for $10 billion in Libel case. Epstein as we know was a serial sex offender and a Pedophile who was connected to numerous Oligarchs, politicians and well known personalities in America as well as globally. Epstein was connected to influential people of all stripes. Some of the names that surfaced in Epstein scandal includes former President Bill Clinton, Billionaire & progressive philanthropist Bill Gates , Prince Andrew of British Royal family, economist Larry Summers, Lawyer Alan Dershowitz and many others. And if anybody who should be on top of the list is Donald Trump himself who had deep relationship with Epstein for decades.

Substack De-platforming

  On July 15th my Substack publication (3rdworldecon.substack.com) was taken down and remained suspended for two days. I joined the list of others who have been de-platformed from Substack, some of them unnecessarily ( 1 ,  2 ,  3 ,  4 ).

This news has been buried in headlines of crisis at the border. I am writing a detailed piece to elaborate on it which will be complete soon. Moving on to subject at hand. Shortly today, a ceasefire had been announced and hopefully this will be maintained towards normalization at border.  On matter of conflict - the situation is fluid, information we get is mostly unreliable, fake news is rampant. There isn't much to go on to make a definitive analysis of the situation. Most importantly both India & Pakistan are ruled by regimes who have habit of operating in opacity and on basis of disinformation & propaganda. People of both nations don't know the objective reality of their national policies most of the time. The best i can do is make some speculations and consider some scenarios in...
