(29,499 posts)Ventura is pissed, and I'll bet he knows the right people for security who can be trusted.
"Jesse Venturas background and connections related to security span military service, professional entertainment, personal protection work, and legal battles against government agencies.
Here are the key aspects of his security connections:
1. Military Service (U.S. Navy SEAL)
UDT/SEAL Background: Ventura served in the U.S. Navy for six years (four active, two reserves) during the Vietnam War era.
Special Operations: He was a member of Underwater Demolition Team (UDT) 12, which later merged into the SEAL teams.
2. Early Career Security Work
Rock and Roll Security: Before his wrestling and political career, Ventura worked as a bodyguard for The Rolling Stones during their tour stops in Minneapolis in 1978 and 1981. He also mentioned doing security work for them as early as 1975 in Kansas City."

(24,877 posts)1st, kudos to Rep Massey for doing the right thing here
Important takeaway, I can't remember a Democratic senator or house member feeling the need to post something like this after working with the Republikkans during a Democratic administration

(2,205 posts)Everyone keeps saying that she got transferred to a nicer prison as a reward for keeping her mouth shut.
Maybe thats true. I dont really know.
I keep wondering, though, if it was really because there are fewer cameras there.

(10,776 posts)Over 100 emails between Bannon and Epstein & an image of them together. Bannon was going to change Epsteins image from pedo to to philanthropist, undermine one of the the popes and work with other right wing countries with money from Epstein. They didnt like Trump. Epstein called him beyond borderline and says Trump had a heart attack in past.
MagickMuffin
(18,261 posts)Inside the email was the whole discussion about global dominance. Here's a excerpt, which of course is only a small fraction on what was discussed.
Well before victories for Brexit and Trump seemed possible, Bannon declared there was a global tea party movement and praised European far-right parties like Great Britains UKIP and Frances National Front. Bannon also suggested that a racist element in far-right parties all gets kind of washed out, that the West was facing a crisis of capitalism after losing its Judeo-Christian foundation, and he blasted crony capitalists in Washington for failing to prosecute bank executives over the financial crisis.
The remarks beamed into a small conference room in a 15th-century marble palace in a secluded corner of the Vatican were part of a 50-minute Q&A during a conference focused on poverty hosted by the Human Dignity Institute, which BuzzFeed News attended as part of its coverage of the rise of Europes religious right. The group was founded by Benjamin Harnwell, a longtime aide to Conservative member of the European Parliament Nirj Deva to promote a Christian voice in European politics. The group has ties to some of the most conservative factions inside the Catholic Church; Cardinal Raymond Burke, one of the most vocal critics of Pope Francis who was ousted from a senior Vatican position in 2014, is chair of the groups advisory board.

(12,453 posts)Would make an aggressor delay any immediate act of violence. I hope Massie has security for himself and family members because the people still supporting the Mad King are either mad themselves or dedicated assassins. This whole network--political, financial, sexual--has a global reach.
Massie might have mentioned his balance for anyone keen on a push down the stairs or out of one of those deadly (Putin) windows.
The whole thing is sick and depraved but I've sadly concluded we're living in an age of monsters.

Notice the pattern.
Not angry at Epstein.
Not angry at abusers.
Not angry at cover-ups.
Angry at the guy demanding transparency.
Ask yourself why.

One reason I listen to freespeechtv.org is that Thom Hartmann has Ro on his program a lot.
Need more brave members of Congress to join Ro and Tom, they were the impetus behind the Epstein Files transparency Act.
