Trump’s Epstein Bomb
By Howard Bloom
According to Pew Research, politics is one of the biggest causes of our discontent. Politics, says Pew, angers and exhausts us. And this week has been rich in political events that may have angered and exhausted you.

Polls show we are concerned about the economy, concerned about the sky-high costs of medical treatment, concerned about inflation, worried over whether the country is going in the right direction, upset about the power held by the wealthy, concerned about the Federal deficit, and teens are upset because their goals of having a good career and being able to buy a home seem more and more out of reach.
But that is nothing compared to this week’s big three worries:
· ICE is amping up immigration raids:
· the Big Beautiful Bill has been passed; and, most important,
· we are in an uproar over the Epstein client list.
Are ICE’s roundup tactics really upsetting us? Yes. According to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll, 54% of us disapprove of ICE’s “aggressive immigration enforcement.”

Then there’s the Big Beautiful Bill. A new CNN poll reveals that a whopping 72% of us followed the twists and turns of the Bill’s passage closely. That is highly unusual.
So how did we feel once the Big Beautiful Bill was passed? Sixty one percent of us flat out opposed it. Yes, nearly two thirds of us dislike The Big Beautiful Bill. What’s more, more than half of us believe the Big Beautiful Bill will damage our economy. Only a slender 29% of us think it will give the economy a boost.
Then there’s the cutting of more than a trillion dollars from Medicaid, depriving between ten and sixteen million Americans of health insurance. An Associated Press/National Opinion Research Center poll showed that, if anything, we wanted more government benefits, not less. We wanted Medicaid to stay the same or even to increase.
And we wanted food stamps.

But the really big upsetter, the emotion-twister beyond all others, is unspooling even as we speak. It’s case of the Epstein client list. A CNN/Social Science Research Solutions poll showed Wednesday July 15th that only three percent of us are satisfied with the way the Epstein files are being handled. That leaves 97% of us who are indifferent, under informed, or upset, dissatisfied, and riled up. CNN’s chief data analyst, Harry Enten called our mood over the Epstein files “widespread disillusionment.” Why?
Because 25% of Republicans have bought into the interpretation of our current political plight created by the QAnon movement. According to QAnon, the world is ruled by a globalist elite. That elite has sex with children, then sacrifices some of those kids to Satan. The globalist elite is said to include people like Hillary and Bill Clinton, the Biden’s, The Obamas, George Soros, and the grand mistress of evil, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Not to mention Tom Hanks, Oprah, Ellen DeGeneres, Chrissy Teigen, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and the top executives at CNN.
According to QAnon, one man has come to save us from these secret evil doers. His name is Donald Trump.

But there’s more. A magical moment called The Storm is coming. When it arrives, the Clintons, the Obamas, the Biden’s, George Soros, Nancy Pelosi and the gang will be arrested, handcuffed, paraded through the streets, and will either be jailed or executed. Executed in public for all to see.
This lust for the blood of Hillary Clinton and her alleged co-conspirators has given purpose and passion to this conspiracy theory’s followers’ lives. And it’s given passion to the lives of folks like Michael Flynn, Laura Loomer, Charlie Kirk and Marjorie Taylor-Green.
Just what is the magic key to unlock the secrets of this hidden pedophile cabal? The Epstein files.

Now we are told there is nothing to see in the Epstein files, no smoking gun, no key to the thunder and lightning of the Storm. And we are told that by the very man who was sent by God to save us. That man, our president, Donald Trump, seems to be holding back the sacred key.
He said today Wednesday, July 16th, “It’s all been a big hoax. It’s perpetrated by the Democrats and some stupid Republicans, and foolish Republicans fall into the net and so they try and do the Democrats’ work.”
Then President Trump turned on what he called “my PAST supporters [who] have bought into this ‘bulls–t,’ hook, line, and sinker.” And said, “I don’t want their support anymore.”

50% of Americans are not happy with this approach.

About the author: Howard Bloom of the Howard Bloom Institute has been called the Einstein, Newton, Darwin, and Freud of the 21st century by Britain’s Channel 4 TV. Bloom’s new book is The Case of the Sexual Cosmos: Everything You Know About Nature is Wrong. Says Harvard’s Ellen Langer of The Case of the Sexual Cosmos, Bloom “argues that we are not savaging the earth as some would have it, but instead are growing the cosmos. A fascinating read.” One of Bloom’s eight previous books–Global Brain—was the subject of a symposium thrown by the Office of the Secretary of Defense including representatives from the State Department, the Energy Department, DARPA, IBM, and MIT. Bloom’s work has been published in The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Wired, Psychology Today, and the Scientific American. Not to mention in scientific journals like Biosystems, New Ideas in Psychology, and PhysicaPlus. Says Joseph Chilton Pearce, author of Evolution’s End and The Crack in the Cosmic Egg, “I have finished Howard Bloom’s [first two] books, The Lucifer Principle and Global Brain, in that order, and am seriously awed, near overwhelmed by the magnitude of what he has done. I never expected to see, in any form, from any sector, such an accomplishment. I doubt there is a stronger intellect than Bloom’s on the planet.” For more, see http://howardbloom.net or http://howardbloom.institute
