Bonum Certa Men Certa

What a 'Smoking Gun' Would Look Like

What was once laughed at or dismissed as baseless hypotheses later turned out to be 100% true (then the media pivoted or shifted attention to Stallman, denying the exposure this finding or 'smoking gun' deserved)

Gates flight records



Summary: The mainstream media has already proven -- using hard facts and concrete, undeniable evidence -- the countless visits/meetings, the flights and the long-denied (lied about) plutocratic affairs or the Gates/Epstein collaborations; it remains for others to determine the nature of the relationship and the cause of death of Mr. Epstein, who entrusted his will to the close advisor of Mr. Gates; the arrest of his personal engineer for pedophilia may or may not be a starting point (we await informed insiders to find courage to speak out)

THE illegal firearm aside, we have not yet stumbled upon a so-called 'smoking gun' in the first installment received from the Seattle Police Department. It's expected that a dozen of installments will be the sum/total. This means eleven more (at most or at least; there's no telling). It's expected to take another 8 months.



I've personally spent a lot of time on this already. I want to properly understand the case (the media reports were far too shallow) and I definitely don't want to leap from this to the whole Epstein thing unless there's some evidence bridging those things (which I doubt can be found or whether any even exists at all). Remember that it was the Gates/Epstein scandal that triggered the FOIA requests. Up until then nobody was particularly interested in what had happened years earlier.

"Remember that it was the Gates/Epstein scandal that triggered the FOIA requests."My hope is that, based on prior reporting, someone will come out (like a whistleblower) with more information and maybe concrete proof (evidence). This may come from staff of the Foundation, the Gates mansion, (former) Seattle police, a neighbour and so on. We need to gradually put more information out there. We need to open up this investigation. Any input, e.g. personal thoughts or ideas, would be appreciated as these may constitute the next part. We've occasionally heard from people who also researched the case, to the best of their abilities. For nearly 14 years (this site's age) we've maintained a perfect record of source protection. We generally know what we're doing; we're very technical. Fishing out whistleblowers typically relies on common/basic mistakes.

As one person told us this week, "the Gates/Epstein arrangement, from what I know, was predominantly to do with Trans-humanism and Depopulation. Many people who met with Epstein explained that he had an obsession with plans to use technology to create a 'superhuman'. He was also critical of Harvard's University's charitable work, explaining to them that they were contributing to 'overpopulation' by doing this."

This is something which the media covered several times. It's not speculative. There's hard evidence of it.

"If our suspicion is not baseless (as there are redactions), there may be actual (direct) abuse against children, not mere possession and dissemination of illegal pornographic material.""I think the recent Filthy Rich documentary and the testimony of Ms. Farmer has turned the spotlight back on this case," the person continued. "In regards to Brett P.," he said, "there is still no response from the company, which I expected. Let me know if you hear anything back from them. Yes, like you, I recognize that cases like this normally involve a network. So my interest in Magic Hour is piqued. Particularly with some of the symbolism, particularly the main logo on their website."

The Magic Hour mystery was covered here earlier this week. If our suspicion is not baseless (as there are redactions), there may be actual (direct) abuse against children, not mere possession and dissemination of illegal pornographic material. If the subject was brought up during the trial, ahead of the plea bargain, that would be a game changer.
