Limited Hangout: Epstein Is One Crack in a Bigger Illusion
We’ve been allowed to see one heavily curated layer of the onion. This cannot stand.
A limited hangout is a term of art in intelligence that means releasing some negative information in order to satisfy the public and the press, while withholding the most damaging material. This was famously done by the Nixon administration as it imploded, and by Bill Barr during the Iran-Contra scandal, ie. Oliver North and Fawn Hall covering for the entire Reagan and Bush administrations.
Now, the loose organization of sycophants that calls itself the U.S. Justice Department is executing a clumsy, obvious limited hangout with the Epstein files. It’s clear the actual kompromat Epstein used as leverage on his targets is being withheld. And it’s clear that the people being protected are not the victims but the perpetrators.
We have been allowed to see one heavily curated layer of the onion because the Trump regime desperately hopes this will satisfy the curiosity of the masses so it can go about dismantling America with no more interruptions.
So far the plan is working. But it must not.
While Trump melts down, America is experiencing an epistemological crisis as the realization starts to sink in that the last decade of hell is all the result of child rapists covering their tracks.
Our shared misery is the fruit of the same sickening tree. This isn’t right. It isn’t real. And we deserve to know how this happened:
The fear in Trump and his regime is evident. Their house of cards is teetering and they know it. The grand illusion Epstein built for Trump has been absurdly warped by Trump’s pathologies. And the Truman Show alternate reality they’ve performed in for a decade is struggling as its lead actor disintegrates.
That’s why the oligarchs who appease Trump are racing to shut down our ability to face reality. That’s why Peter Thiel, Larry Ellison, Mark Zuckerberg, Rupert Murdoch, and now Jeff Bezos are all trying to keep us ignorant and impotent.
Nevertheless, the remaining media still refuse to see the big picture and its implications, even as their own profession is eliminated. And the politicians still refuse to acknowledge that politics as we know it is no longer relevant.
The Kabuki plays on, as the theater burns.
All of them are ignoring the elephant: None of this is real. It’s all manufactured.
The files the DOJ already released tell a clear story of a tight, active conspiracy between Jeffrey Epstein, Peter Thiel, and the Russian government to steal the 2016 election using a large network of appeasers and abettors. We have means, motive and opportunity. And we have a mountain of circumstantial evidence.
I guarantee the rest of the files contain more than circumstantial evidence.
Even with what we have, we can see with our own eyes that Trump was elected by cheating, all because the worst people in the world—and our foreign adversaries—knew their criminal enterprises would be in trouble under President Hillary Clinton.
So they destroyed her. Deliberately. Ruthlessly. Illegally.
They destroyed Hillary Clinton through a conspiracy to illegally influence the election and the American media: a shared project to steal private information and lie about it, depriving Americans of their right to reality through the use of aggressive, illegal hybrid warfare tactics.
But this conspiracy didn’t just destroy the truth, or one woman; it destroyed the opportunity for 300 million people to have a real president. It made all of our lives worse, so a few people could get even richer—and avoid accountability.
The arrogance, the evil, is staggering.
What happened leading up to the 2016 election was arguably the worst crime in U.S. history. It was a crime that sent the world into a decade of chaos, a crime that has put the entire world order on the brink of destruction.
The story of the Epstein files is not that Trump is just a child rapist; it’s that he’s a child rapist who was maneuvered into power by Jeffrey Epstein and the same people who are destroying America right now: the PayPal Mafia and the Russians.
Trump was fake from the day he came down the escalator—just one piece of the grandest illusion ever perpetrated. He was not a candidate for office in 2015 but an actor playing an Apprentice-like role—except instead of working for a television network, it was for an illegal transnational influence operation.
The Epstein files are just a small crack in that illusion; and that crack must shatter completely, to expose the layers beneath. We need the Thiel Files, and the Bannon Files. We need the Stephen Miller Files and the Bitcoin Files. We need to know everything these people have done to put us in this position.
In the end, we must have truth and reconciliation about everything going back to at least 2010, including the schemes to perpetrate cryptocurrency, 4chan, Pizzagate, QAnon, the Big Lie, J6, and Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter to influence the 2024 election. It’s all the same project. It’s all the same people.
The whole rotten enterprise must be exposed. We must reconstruct how this small group of elite psychopaths hoarded so much money and power and railroaded America into the darkness.
Full disclosure is the only way forward. The hangout must not be limited. No exceptions. No excuses.

Exactly....the connections are global, interwoven and beyond the framework of generalized public perception.
Thanks Jim for this enlightening article and perspective. I respect you a lot and know your knowledge is very deep. You are one of the absolute top folks out there to analyze correctly what is being revealed in the files. I will continue to call my senators and congressman and keep pressing for the full release of all the files.
