The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Does Putin have the Epstein files?...

I heard a conspiracy theory leveraging what was said by the Sec Commerce, Howard Lutnick, that Epstein was running a "honey pot" operation, for a foreign intelligence service, and shot video of the encounters. Given Maxwell's father's alleged connections to Mossad, that could be a possibility. But I would not discount the FSB. So, while Maxwell's jailhouse interview with Lord Trump's lawyer that was released publicly, utterly oozed with praise for his nibs, the private part could be "I have Jeffery's videos tucked away where you can't find them. Get me out of here, or they go public". She could not have said that to Biden, if he was not in any of the videos, so she saved it for when Lord Trump was back in power?
