We're all trying to get by, in our own way.

Quacking Treason
Public profiles of Jeffrey Epstein going back 20+ years present a near perfect description of a massive, hostile foreign intelligence operation directed at the USA and NATO and other allies.
Why was this so widely ignored? What was Mandelson’s involvement? What next?
