Why the Epstein case is emerging in the world of Maga

When Jack Directors joined the Ministry of Justice in Washington, Colombia County last February, he believes he will finally receive some answers to Jeffrey Epstein.

But when he and other Magic supporters were essentially simply revised, already public material – and when the government put a shock absorber in the launch of each new information this July – they were loving.

“Everyone told us they were coming more. These answers were there and would be provided. Incredibly how bad this Epstein porridge was. And it shouldn’t have been,” Posobiec published on social media on July 7th.

Now Donald Trump is difficult to shake the theories of conspiracy that revive his base, as it first penetrated Republican politics a decade ago.

Posobiec, which appeared from the periphery of the Internet in 2016, when he spread fake rumors about a child abuse of children based in a restaurant in Washington – a conspiracy theory that became known as Pizzagate – is just one of the many Magica that believes that employees are hiding key truths about Epstein’s life and death.

The disgraceful financier and the convicted sexual criminal died of suicide in a prison cell in New York in 2019 while he was waiting for a trial of sexual traffic charges.

In a recent podcast hosted by Breitbart News Alex Marlow, Posobiec said the Maga base sees this case as a transcript of the so -called “Deep State”.

“Not that they personally take care of Epstein,” he said. “It is that they are interested in having this optics, that Epstein has somehow participated in a shady system that actually has control over our government, control over our institutions, control over our lives, and is indeed a governing power over us.”

Over the years, some have claimed that government officials have files in Epstein, which reveal sinister details, including that there is a “client lint” with remarkable names that may have participated in some suspected Epstein crimes.

In the past, Trump played on this crowd. During last year’s election campaign, he said there would be no “problem” that releases Epstein’s cases and after the election directly answered the question if he would “cut” the files, saying, “Yes, yes, I would.”

Conspiracy thinking is part of President Trump’s movement from the beginning. His entry into the once crowded world of Republican Party’s policy decade ago came when he intensified the false theory that Barack Obama was not born in the United States.

Now, however, the world of conspiracy is stepping back.

Epstein’s crimes are real and terrifying, and it remains the opportunity to appear additional information about them.

But they also got involved in larger stories, and later Qanon, the scattered theory of conspiracy intervation that fucked the Internet during Trump’s first term, pressing the idea that the highest ecollons of society were controlled by an elite cabal abusing children. Conspiracy theory has spread through encryptive messages published by a nickname character called Q.

Mike Rothschild, the author of several books on Trump’s Conspiracies, including the storm is on us: how canon became a movement, cult and conspiracy of everything, said Epstein was mentioned in several such messages from the end of 2017.

“Epstein is seen as one of the main players in the global” Paedo Elite “, which for centuries trafficking in children and that Q and Trump had to end once and for all,” he told the BBC.

But after the meeting of the Ministry of Justice in February, the administration staff, including the FBI Director, Kash Patel and his deputy Dan Bongino – which they both made rumors of Epstein for years – began to oppress to talk about any major revelations.

Then, on July 8, the Ministry of Justice and the FBI said in a note that the cause of Epstein’s death was suicide and there was no evidence that he had a “client list”.

The president seemed eager to move forward, calling the Epstein case “sinister but boring,” while accusing the Democrats of continuing to make him a problem.

Many Trump supporters are happy to follow the president’s leadership. But a subset of extremely online Maga supporters are still deeply passionate about the Epstein case.

Several Maga votes, including former Fox News presenter Tucker Carlson, claim that Epstein was hired by Israeli security services. And among the more extreme elements of movement, the theories of conspiracy around Epstein sometimes embark on the anti -Semitic one.

But Rothschild said that most people in the world of Maga are just itching for more information – if it really exists – about the financier’s relationships with Bill Clinton and other Democrats and Trump’s opponents. Epstein cultivates powerful people from the two major political parties in the United States.

The long story of Epstein’s obsession with Magn means that Trump is now difficult to satisfy the conspiracy elements at his base.

The story made another twist at the end of Thursday when The Wall Street Journal announced that Trump had sent Epstein a “birthday greeting” in 2003. The couple’s one -time friendship is well known, but Trump says he has reduced his relationship with Epstein and brought a case Against the Mother of the Wall Street Journal, its owner and two reporters after the report.

In the meantime, Trump seemed to be more ready to indulge in the theorists of the conspiracy, publishing the truth social: “Based on the ridiculous publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I asked Prosecutor General Pam Bondi to present any indicators of the great jury subject to court.”

There is no doubt that conspiracy theories obviously have the power to motivate part of the President’s base. Qanon’s supporters were among some of the most visible rebellion participants since January 2021 in the United States Capitol.

In a study conducted shortly before the elections last November, the thought reservoir for the study of public religion (PRRI) found that almost one fifth of Americans agreed with the QANON-related statements, including the most derived: “The Government, the Media and the Financial Worlds are controlled by a group of pedophiles that manage the sauna that manage the sauna that manage the sauna that manage the sauna that manage the sauna. Children who run global child sex trafficking. “

Many consider Epstein’s case as a confirmation of these views, and the population believed in canon is a highly pro-Trump, found PRRI, with 80% supporting the president.

And with this support came influence. Posobiec, the pizza and Epstein conspiracy theorist, who was at the DOJ meeting in February, reports that he has accompanied the Minister of Defense Pete Heget on a recent trip to Europe.

He was also filmed a meeting with the neo -Nazis, although he himself denies being a white nationalist.

He did not respond to the BBC’s request for comment.

He is adamant that the case of Epstein is related to the broader world of conspiracy.

“It connects to Covid, binds to the blocked, binds to the vaccines,” Posobiec said in the podcast Alex Marlow, who was recorded at a conference last week, where many speakers raised Epstein and demanded more revelations.

“This is associated with so many different buckets of anger that people feel.”

Rich Logis, a former longtime supporter of Trump, who broke ranks and launches an organization called “Leaving Maga,” said these foreign theories serve “as connections that bind many in the Maga community”, even among those who doubt them.

Logis says Trump’s dismissal this week from their concerns, this left some supporters “to feel confused and astonished.”

“They expected Trump to keep his promise and reveal those who have helped and supported Epstein,” he said.

If the case with Epstein presents political work for Trump, there is also a problem and his supporters, especially for the class of vocal influence, in inventing where to transfer their rage. Targeting the President can cause a reaction when it comes to their followers.

“Many of the main influents are furious,” Rothschild said, “and although they do not bring it to Trump, they can take it to GOP (the Republican Party) as a whole.”

Until now, Trump has stood by Pam Bondi, his prosecutor. But she, Patel and Bongino can increasingly feel the pressure if the wing of the conspiracy conspiracy continues to require more files – whether they actually exist.
