Amidst the fever-pitched online clamor for disclosure of materials related to Jeffrey Epstein (which I agree with in spirit — release everything you’ve got!) it’s truly bizarre that so little attention has been paid to the fact that Steve Bannon is currently concealing what might be the greatest Epstein-related treasure trove of them all.
I listened your debate about this, and it was a fucking disgrace. You allegations that Guiffre was a fabulist are based on the fact that she tried to sue Dershowitz, he countersued, and she recanted.
So, a rape victim tries to defend herself against her rapist, who is ALSO one of the wealthiest, most dangerous, most powerful men in the world who PROMISES to destroy her and has the political juice to do so (Dershowitz is pretty much a mobster) - and she recants. Quel Surprise.
Also, please note, lots of people have already ended up dead or suicided in this case. Giuffre included.
Then, of course, you need to ignore a preponderance of evidence, going all the way back to his prosecution for child “prostitution,” with testimony from girls as young as 14 and his florist bills for sending high school kids flowers. Tons of people have testified to being used by him or to seeing him with bevy’s of teen age girls. Not just Virginia…. But hordes of others, all saying the same things
Next, as to child rape victims being 'fabulists' - here's a thing: trauma fucks your brain. Not in terms of mental illness (though there is that too), but in terms of how your memory works. Remembering dates, exact timelines, and the order of events is nearly impossible; your memory becomes more episodic rather than linear, meaning the ability to recall events in a coherent, chronological sequence is impaired. This happens through both psychological and neurological mechanisms.
The hippocampus is responsible for organizing time and context. During traumatic events, the hippocampus becomes overwhelmed, resulting in memories that become fragmented or disconnected from their original context, including time and place (you might remember what happened, but not when or in what order).
The amygdala is responsible for the emotional tagging of memories. During a traumatic event, sensory input (sight, sound, smell) is overwhelming, blotting out less survival-oriented data, such as time and context.
The prefrontal cortex, which regulates and makes sense of memory, is tamped down during traumatic events (where your body is just trying to survive), meaning victims often have a difficult time processing and making rational and cohesive 'meaning.'
In fact, the more 'coherent' and 'rational' a victim is, the less trauma they actually experienced. (In fact, women being TOO rational and coherent during testimony has been an equal cause of her being disbelieved.)
These don't even cover the psychological impacts of trauma, including dissociation, fragmentation, and suppression of memory. The lived effects of trauma include: time distortion, emotional displacement, difficulty forming a life narrative, and the rewriting of events to make sense of disconnected or contradictory memory fragments (mistaken for confabulation or inaccuracy).
I am not saying necessarily 'believe all women' or that women never lie, but it infuriates me that one of the victims of a well-known and documented child molester is disbelieved as a 'fabulist' because her behavior doesn't match that of an untraumitized person.
Worse, these rapes were happening on an industrial level, seemingly involving hundreds of the most powerful people in the world - and no one but no one seems to give a damn about what this means about the people we are allowing to lead us.
"trauma fucks your brain ... in terms of how your memory works. Remembering dates, exact timelines, and the order of events is nearly impossible; your memory becomes more episodic rather than linear, meaning the ability to recall events in a coherent, chronological sequence is impaired."
When the Kavanaugh hearings were held, it seems like I heard experts saying the opposite: that when a traumatic sex assault happens to someone, their brain "locks the memory in" and that therefore the victim's testimony must be believed because it isn't fabricated, erroneous, impaired or questionable in any way. These victims must always be believed.
IDK. The brain science behind traumatic memory seems to morph and change depending on the politics of the victim and the accused. I have never been able to resolve this.
Here's an example of the "locked in" message I recall hearing from experts in the media. In this case we hear from Christine Blasey Ford herself:
When Sen. Feinstein asked, “How are you so sure that it was he?”, Ford said she could be sure of Kavanaugh’s identity in “the same way I’m sure I’m talking to you right now,” before launching into an explanation of brain chemistry. The neurotransmitter epinephrine, Ford explained, “codes memories into the hippocampus, and so the trauma-related experience is locked there, whereas other details kind of drift,” she said.
But, yeah, she doesn't comment on the context, the timing, the order of events. So, I don't think it contradicts your point about those aspects of traumatic event memory. It seems Ford's main point is that there are certain aspects of a traumatic experience that are written very strongly, "locked", into memory.
“Well-documented child molester”—as if these were pre-pubescent kids. This is manipulation like when the media portrayed Trayvon Martin as a child. You say you’re not saying “believe all women”, but your evidence is solely based on believing the alleged Epstein victims. You allege Giuffre recanted because Dershowitz is so powerful—yet it didn’t stop her from accusing him and others for years and getting a giant payout! The bottom line is that Tracey is correct—there isn’t much evidence for a trafficking cabal. We are now at the point that the absence of evidence is the evidence. “We don’t need no stinkin’ evidence!”
No evidence huh… so what tf was he convicted for back in 2007? Better yet, what does it say about those that hobnobbed with a known pedophile who has the temerity to jaunt around on a private plane named “The Lolita Express” you moron. No evidence… the money used to settle with the victims is all you need to track. Over $807 millions worth. So spare me. This isn’t the “Russia Russia hoax”. This isn’t “Hunter’s laptop”. All of this is rooted in reality. There’s still ongoing litigation regarding all of this as we speak. But you really believe it when they tell you, “there’s files, but wait there’s no files, we’re going to release info, but all of it was made up info, oh but we’ll release the credible info, ok second thought there’s no info”. All made up, just a hoax. How do you feel about being someone that mocks child sex trafficking and pedophilia as a means of blackmail for a foreign nation state 🤔🤔🤔? Praying that you don’t have daughters.
I sincerely apologize for calling you a moron. But this is child sex trafficking we’re talking about here… I voted for this dude, but this is a bridge too far. I don’t even think our President is involved, but it’s the protecting the low life’s that are involved that gives people no hope that their government isn’t anything more than the fucking swamp that he claimed to wanna drain. He’s either going to at least be true to his word, or he’s just another part of the fucking problem. Bottom line though, don’t insult our fucking intelligence by saying some weak shit like, “nothing to see here, all made up”. Grow some fucking balls and stand up to your handlers Prez.
“This is sex trafficking we’re talking about” Yes, but there isn’t much evidence for it. If the star witness (Giuffre) lacks credibility, does that mean the other alleged victims are truthful about all the stuff not involving Dershowitz?
You think Prince Andrew never had sex with Virginia? Why did Epstein and Maxwell fly her to London? Were they running a charity tourist agency so underpriviliged teenagers could see London?
She was 17 when Epstein and Maxwell recruited her to fly with them to London to see Prince Andrew, who she clearly "saw." She was 16 when she first met Maxwell and Epstein.
Spencer, we don’t let 12, 13, and 14 year olds vote, drive, sign contracts because they are CHILDREN. If you think fucking kids is OK once they are simply no longer pre pubescent, you are a sick asshole.
Back before degeneracy set in, the age of consent was even lower than 14. But this is not relevant to the discussion and I’m not defending Epstein’s behavior. The issue is whether or not there was an elite pedo cabal. But I’m nonce for being able to focus. Lol. #believeallwomen.
"Tons of people have testified to being used by him or to seeing him with bevy’s of teen age girls. Not just Virginia…. But hordes of others, all saying the same things"
Not the same things. Virginia Giuffre stood essentially alone in alleging that she was "trafficked" to powerful men as a minor. It's ludicrous that you could even believe that Tracey was suggesting that Epstein did nothing wrong:
"When it comes to Epstein in the realm of mythology, there exists this widespread belief that a pedophilic sex trafficking ring has been systematically covered up and that Jeffrey Epstein orchestrated this pedophilic sex trafficking ring by trafficking minors to prominent third-party individuals and then conducted a blackmail operation to coerce those individuals into silence or complicity".
That's the myth.
"seemingly involving hundreds of the most powerful people in the world"
Seemingly. All based on the word of a Qanoner who also would have us believe that she had four days to live after being in a minor car crash.
Agreed… was waiting for someone to say this. Was an absolute fucking joke. Very disappointing Tracey, but then again you’re about as boring as a sack full of rocks before you sold out. “Well he wasn’t a convicted felon when the picture was taken”, blah blah blah. What a fucking joke. Can’t believe Greenwald lets you subhost his show. Disgraceful.
Soooo…. Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t involved in child sex trafficking huh? You really believe that? All made up right? DEMOCRAT HOAX… gtfoh. Jeffrey Epstein is not a conspiracy theory. So Ghislane should be released ASAP then considering it’s all a ruse…
How do you know he was involved in trafficking? Because some lying, unstable, woman said he was? Or because the other alleged victims said he was? Or because he had sex with underage girls? #metoo #believeallwomen
The “trafficking” that MAGA is in an uproar about is mainly Epstein’s alleged procuring of under age girls for an elite pedo cabal and/or blackmail operation for Mosad, etc.—not what he was actually arrested for: paying underage girls to have sex with him for money (also called trafficking). Tracey literally talks about this in his Compact article. But I guess you thought I hadn’t read it and wanted to get me up to speed. Thanks.
A guess: Bannon is holding his Epstein interviews as a trump (!) card, a bargaining chip. He wants something in exchange for them, or for sitting on them, and/or he wants to use them to make something happen.
Another theory: Bannon doesn't give a f*** about looking evil. But these interviews prove Bannon is completely ineffective as a PR fixer. Look what happened to one of Bannon's high paying clients!
Therefore the public would watch these interviews and conclude one thing: Bannon is incompetent.
Thanks Michael. There is the issue of what(i.e. how much underage is underage is pedophilia) constitutes official illegality and what constitutes official illegality to being cross-listed as a pedophile(and of couse how do political candidates utilize this - even if 'false'-to get election? The problem with politicians, esp one that endear themselves as "lawmakers", is that they generalize everything. They don't quite the pixel in the picture that each person is unique. So that's one issue: Were the kids 17, 16, or just less than 13?
There is this 15+hrs of documentary issue that you brought up. Apparently Steve Bannon is a filmmaker. SB discusses this filmmaker Errol Morris in a 2018 documentary entitled American Dharma - of which one can obtain a digital purchase from Amazon for 9.99(The rental is ~2-3 dollars). A search on the Amazon website indicates Steve Bannon himself has made a film each in 2022 and 2023.
One should note that Amazon is a supporter of genocide in Gaza. Does that mean you should make the purchase at B&N? To state a related issue: If Amazon and Microsoft are supportes of the genocide in Gaza, does that mean that Google and Apple are not?
Ok back to topic. So Steve Bannon could argue he is working on his version of 2001: A Space Odyssey and hasn't had time to do a well-thought edit of his 15+hrs of footage of the interview with Jeffrey Epstein - esp. now that Bannon has no more reason to fear Epstein(due to his - what is understood as - assisted suicide).
And of course the overriding issue that has been brought up by Glenn Greenwald and a few others. How did he obtain his 800 million bucks? Did he follow Anthony Robbins TV informationals? Did he take the time to fully absorb all those 'self-help' CDs?
Or is it something more? Or is all this something more?
I'll save you the concern, here's how the interview went....
SB: Is Trump your close friend?
JE: No that bastard banned me from MarsALargo when he found out I was boinking teenage girls, then he even offered testimony against me during my first arrest. We took some pictures together at social fundraiser, that's about it.
SB: So who is your closest or best friend?
JE: Either Wexner, who gave me all the money or Bill Clinton who gave me credibility in political circles. Hey, did you know Clinton & I spent a month together touring Africa, no Killary either, just Bill & I.
I like Obama a lot too, but he spends most of his time ordering hot dogs & mentoring young boys on how to behave in the locker room showers. I like to call Obama "Sandusky" because of all the rthymic slapping I hear when I walk by the steam room.
SB: Damn,that's disgusting, hey is Michelle Obama really a man?
JE: All I can say is I did a cup check on her one night by pretending to lose my balance and fall into her and I copped a feel and boy it was totally nuts.
Good job as usual MT. Keep it up, not too many non-ideological reporters out there trying to get to the bottom of things. This sad distinction makes your work even more vital right now.
Hmm, I wonder if more will be exposed? I have always thought Bannon was really creepy.
I'm an old lady, a conservative that supports Trump. I don't care who's the president of the United States. I'm damn sick of my government saying, "Nothing to see here folks. Move along."
Bannon was incredibly astute here. What the hell was Epstein paying a UK PR firm for? Maybe “keep a super low profile” was conventional wisdom at the time, but Trump, Diddy, and the Astronomy CEO have shown that the only way out of the guard tower’s searchlight is to march straight into it, whether you’re guilty or not.
Great job Michael. Just one criticism: I think you let folks like Saagar get under your skin a bit too much. Looking angry/flustered might undermine your credibility. (Not that you shouldn’t be annoyed.)

no, you heard exactly the opposite.
The events remain clear; the smell, taste, color.
What is unclear is dates, passage of time etc.
Here's an example of the "locked in" message I recall hearing from experts in the media. In this case we hear from Christine Blasey Ford herself:

I do have a daughter who suffered this, as did our family.

That’s Mr. Moron to you. Do you remember the Duke LaCrosse team that almost went to jail? #believeallwomen
I sincerely apologize for calling you a moron. But this is child sex trafficking we’re talking about here… I voted for this dude, but this is a bridge too far.

Last time I checked that hag wasn’t 17 and under…
She was 17 when Epstein and Maxwell recruited her to fly with them to London to see Prince Andrew, who she clearly "saw." She was 16 when she first met Maxwell and Epstein.
Her age is irrelevant but her lying is.
Correct, she was a lying POS. But the age of an individual during the time and place of purported allegations is 100% relevant..
You’re really comparing that to THIS??
Spencer, we don’t let 12, 13, and 14 year olds vote, drive, sign contracts because they are CHILDREN. If you think fucking kids is OK once they are simply no longer pre pubescent, you are a sick asshole.

Dershowitz is a douche bag. unacceptable to societal norms.

I disagree.
Michael is one of my favorite guest hosts, and I always love his interviews.
The science behind memory is not settled, it is mostly specuation based on computer modeling, not provable data. See https://pam-ho-vedanta.medium.com/the-illusion-of-control-how-human-memory-requires-superconscious-management-e04d811d2162
A guess: Bannon is holding his Epstein interviews as a trump (!) card, a bargaining chip. He wants something in exchange for them, or for sitting on them, and/or he wants to use them to make something happen.
Thank You Michael
I have been wondering about this exact thing for a few weeks now - Why doesn’t Bannon release the interviews?
Another theory: Bannon doesn't give a f*** about looking evil. But these interviews prove Bannon is completely ineffective as a PR fixer. Look what happened to one of Bannon's high paying clients!

I can answer none of your questions, but you sure do raise some good ones that I had not thought of before.

Nice angle I’ve never read before. I know I know nothing about this story, and “so much of what I know just ain’t so,” so I guess, keep piling on.
Bannon tried to play Epstein to get him to spill. Epstein figured it out. That’s the big “ secret” that isn’t a secret.
Good job as usual MT. Keep it up, not too many non-ideological reporters out there trying to get to the bottom of things. This sad distinction makes your work even more vital right now.
Hmm, I wonder if more will be exposed? I have always thought Bannon was really creepy.
I'm an old lady, a conservative that supports Trump. I don't care who's the president of the United States. I'm damn sick of my government saying, "Nothing to see here folks. Move along."

Great piece.
Bannon is fibbing . . .
Wow, Michael!
Excellent info!
I never knew any of this. Keep digging!
I appreciate your tenacity, and your lack of fear regarding those who "violently disagree" with you.
Great job Michael. Just one criticism: I think you let folks like Saagar get under your skin a bit too much. Looking angry/flustered might undermine your credibility. (Not that you shouldn’t be annoyed.)
