Conservative Judicial Watch has been submitting FOIA requests related to Epstein [1]

47:00-48:40 of the clip that follows. Rachel Bradley shares information about Judicial Watch and the Epstein files. This is from Christopher Titus’ podcast last week, my thoughts on this 100 seconds after the jump.

Why does this matter?

Because it means that to the extent any Epstein files have been released, or will be released….Judicial Watch will know, or maybe already knows.

Judicial Watch . org is a right wing legal organization, link to organization wikipedia, quote highlight of their past work:

George Soros smears In October 2018, Chris Farrell of Judicial Watch stirred controversy when he appeared on Lou Dobbs' Fox Business show and used what many described as an anti-Semitic trope to suggest that the State Department was "Soros-occupied" territory. The remark echoed the anti-Semitic trope of a "Zionist-occupied government" to refer to Jewish control of the U.S. government.[67][68] After widespread condemnation, Fox stated that Farrell would no longer be booked.[69][68] Farrell promoted the unsubstantiated conspiracy theory that a migrant caravan traveling through Central America towards the United States was being directed or funded by the "Soros-occupied State Department".[70] Judicial Watch had been engaged in what NPR described as a "full-throated campaign against Soros". Among other things, Judicial Watch raised money by running ads with a call to action: "Expose Soros!

Judicial Watch is deeply connected to the Republican party establishment and other conspiracy theories. Funding of these groups is full of dark money, political front groups, and astro-turf organizations.

Because of the specific focus of Judicial Watch, I’d be interested to know current funding information on that organization and past ties to any Trump court nominees. I’d like to know not just the surface financial connections between Trump and judicial nominees, but also what conservative organizations had what information and when?

It is my understanding that if a member of one of these conservative organizations comes across evidence of a crime, crimes such as Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking and money laundering, those individuals would have a legal obligation to report that information to local or federal authorities.

As this case presents a known and ongoing public safety threat to victims, concealing evidence in any way could be considered part of the larger RICO-type criminal organization, correct?

Epstein Leaks coming from the Conservative “Deep-State”?

If my understanding of the moral obligation of someone to report a crime like the Epstein case is correct, then that means leaks are coming from all sorts of conservative organizations and within the White House.

If they are not directly responsible for leaks right now, then there are lots of people with copies of the information to be shared publicly in the future.

This might seem unlikely given our current political climate, but it’s perfectly in line with human psychology and the desire for self-preservation. Given the scope of Epstein’s crimes and the duration of his crime spree, it is very likely many people who know Epstein victims have seen the information.

Fascism is a paranoid business-focused ideology. It’s why the camps weren’t German people’s camps, they were IG Farben, and Bayer and so on. That’s why I’ve been focusing on the financial side of the Epstein case, it reminds the public of the Techbros and the Wall Street Bankers connections. To both creepy Epstein stuff and creepy Peter Theil fascism stuff.

Did you know there was an Epstein and Peter Theil connection?

Epstein recorded his victims, Peter Theil and Palantir have everyone’s public records. Working with Peter Theil was among the last things Epstein did in business, what was that project? Where are the profits from Epstein’s portion being dispersed?

Why Does Epstein and Peter Theil matter?

Peter Theil and Palantir and DOGE and such are all connected. Like I mentioned earlier with the conservative organizations, I believe anyone in possession of Epstein documents has a moral/legal obligation to submit those to law enforcement.

JD Vance was the Peter Theil 2024 Vice Presidential look alike award winner, not the Republican Party’s real nominee. A plastic puppet for the other South African conservative Tech billionaire. Peter Theil grew up in a South African town that celebrated Hitler’s birthday. Like way after Hitler died and WW2 ended. His people can hold a grudge….err, “maintain the faith of traditional values” or whatever.

If Peter Theil, Palantir, DOGE and/or JD Vance currently know of Epstein information about a perpetrator , a named John Doe, say John Doe 174….not reporting that information previously would make them guilty of obstruction of justice today, correct?

If Trump is listed as engaging in criminal activity prior to his 2015 announcement for President, anyone concealing that information would be engaging in not a conspiracy theory, but an actual criminal conspiracy, correct?

Feels like a judge that would conceal Epstein information about a perpetrator would be committing an impeachable offense, correct? A judge obstructing justice? Maxwell’s court records aren’t the full Epstein files, but there is a John Doe list there. I don’t care if it’s not a complete list, it’s a start. The victims deserve at least that much in 2025.

I think the Epstein-Peter Theil connection is a useful one to bring up with a young Techbro/fascist in your life. You might not change their ideology, but cult de-programming takes time. This would at least create a psychological wedge that would sit in their mind until the next news story.

Hulk Hogan just passed away, maybe these young men should learn of the Gawker lawsuit and Peter Theil’s pool parties? A preference for youth is well known about Peter Theil. He wants to live forever, so Peter Pan syndrome makes sense. You can’t de-program these young men, but you can have that HIMYM break glass realization moment.

Epstein is known for trafficking young girls, but is it possible young men were also trafficked? I’ve been writing about my own story of abuse as the result of the generational trauma from the Catholic Church doing the parish priest shuffle.

I ask about the Epstein-Theil connection because it makes me wonder more about Epstein than anything about Theil. Epstein was a known boundary pusher, Epstein was very open sexually to the point he and Donald Trump shared a girlfriend for a number of months. Epstein had multiple properties where he could let others vacation without him. Multiple properties with unknown recording devices.

Is it possible that the missing piece of the Epstein puzzle is that there are male trafficking victims?

Anything involving business leaders or politicians with male sex trafficking victims or even male sex workers of legal age would especially explain how things went quiet at the local level in Florida. Epstein wouldn’t have had blackmail over powerful people with underage women, he would have had something better: blackmail over important local people who want wives to avoid learning certain secrets.

Is it possible that Epstein’s most useful piece of blackmail involved two men? Epstein hosted lots of parties with lots of guests and lots of videos. Maybe video of people kissing drunkenly? I ask because Jim Jordan was involved in the Ohio State situation, correct? And Jim Jordan is currently blocking the release of Epstein documents? Is Jim once again covering for powerful men here?

There was a previous version of an Epstein type house in Washington with Republicans in Congress and young men. I can’t remember the names of the people involved but it was mentioned in a Lincoln Square video about the “Pink Mafia”, IIRC. Even if you don’t have that HIMYM break glass moment with the young techno-fascist in your life, it might be a way to connect on this issue with someone in your life who was abused by their father or by a supposed holy father.

With a slight re-frame it might change minds, especially older, religious white dude minds with unresolved childhood issues. Not enough to peel someone away from MAGA or their beliefs, but enough to make them ask for more information on this case.

It’s a start, it’s what the victims deserve in 2025.
