-Lurid Crime Tales-
Gwendolyn Beck, the female banker and ex-girlfriend of disgraced NJ Senator Bob Menendez, took part in orgies with Jeffrey Epstein and his victim Virginia Giuffre, unsealed dispositions claim
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Virginia Giuffre in January 2016 sat for a deposition and said that then-Morgan Stanley financier Gwendolyn Beck had an orgy with her and Epstein

  • Beck, now 65, was seen with Epstein in multiple photos from 1995 to 2000: in 2014, she ran for Congress as an independent, and he donated $12,600

  • Beck in 2010 dated disgraced New Jersey senator Bob Menendez: she was photographed with him at a White House state dinner

Ray Epps sentenced: January 6th protestor who ordered people into the Capitol is sentenced to one years probation for his role in riot
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] We already knew the fix was in, just not the shape it would take.
  • Ray Epps was infamously captured on video instructing protestors at the January 6 gathering to go into the Capitol building

  • He became the subject of a conspiracy theory that alleged he was an FBI plant sent to rile up the crowd ahead of the protest

#2  Threw the fucking book at him, didn't they?

#3  The J6 Law Enforcement augmentation likely went well beyond paid informants or assets such as Epps. They wrote the book on Regime Change and prevention.

Destroying America, The CIA's Quest to Control the Government, author Anthony Frank, Page 27

President Reagan's Executive Order in 1981 also "permits" the CIA to "enter into arrangements with state and local police," which certainly facilitates violating state and federal laws. CIA officers with such "arrangements" and "police cover in the form of badges and other identification" can obviously exercise "police" and "law enforcement" powers, both of which are prohibited by the National Security Act of 1947. CIA officers wearing police uniforms, carrying police badges, and driving police cars cn obviously intimidate or harass anyone that the CIA targets inside the United States.

(Wiki -Executive Order 12333 was signed by President Ronald Reagan on December 4, 1981.

Executive Order 12333, signed on December 4, 1981 by U.S. President Ronald Reagan, was an executive order intended to extend powers and responsibilities of U.S. intelligence agencies and direct the leaders of U.S. federal agencies to co-operate fully with CIA requests for information.[1] This executive order was titled United States Intelligence Activities.

It was amended by Executive Order 13355: Strengthened Management of the Intelligence Community, on August 27, 2004. On July 30, 2008, President George W. Bush issued Executive Order 13470[2] amending Executive Order 12333 to strengthen the role of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI).[3][4])

#8  Besoeker's comment at #3 could obviously lead one to wonder if some of those Capitol Police officers were really CIA. You know, the ones who opened the doors to let the protesters into the Capitol Building. And arranged the photo ops with the Qanon Shaman. Or maybe the ones who fired the tear gas into the wind so it would blow back into the real cops and force them to retreat. All kinds of little pranks were played that day.

Government Corruption
Pence dismisses conspiracy theory FBI instigated Jan. 6 attack
[HILL] Former Vice President Mike Pence in an interview Sunday dismissed conspiracy theories about government involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol rioting.

Pence, who was a target of rioters, rejected the idea that the FBI could have been responsible for instigating the Capitol riots.

"We’ve been assured again and again that it was not the case," Pence said in a CNN interview.
assured by...whom?
"I just must tell you, having been there that day, to see people literally breaking windows, ransacking the Capitol, it just infuriated me," he continued. "I remember thinking, ’Not this. Not here. Not at the United States Capitol."

As many as a quarter of Americans and a third of Republicans said they believe that the Jan. 6 Capitol riots were instigated by the FBI or other government influence, according to a University of Maryland poll released last week.

The conspiracy theory has gained traction among some Republicans, being boosted by GOP figures including former President Trump, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.

Pence, however, called on those that believe the conspiracies to "look at the facts."

The FBI and Department of Justice have worked to convict almost 1,000 people of crimes related to the Capitol riots, including more than 400 for assaulting police officers.

"[Jan. 6] should never have happened," Pence, who repeatedly criticized Trump over Jan. 6 during his brief 2024 presidential campaign last year, said Sunday. "As I’ve said many times before, the former president’s words that day were reckless. I believe history will judge his role in that."

"[Jan. 6] should never have happened,"

#3  Pence never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

#4  Pence couldn’t run a Dollar Tree.
Posted by: Super Hose || 01/10/2024 10:19 Comments || Top||

#5  Pence is a low brow attention whore. They are planning to use a law that says everywhere withing 500 yards of Pence is a restricted zone to prosecute J6 people that never even went into the capitol. IE people that went to the Trump rally.

#8  As many as a quarter of Americans and a third of Republicans

Normal ratios given for a 'conspiracy theory' which is true.
