PUBLISHERS FOREWORD
For although the act condemn the doer, the end may justify him
Niccol Machiavelli, Discourses: I, 9, 1531
The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer. [laughter] But since the Freedom of Information Act, Im afraid to say things like that.
Henry Kissinger, Memorandum of Conversation, March 10, 1975
Were an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while youre studying that reality judiciously, as you will well act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and thats how things will sort out. Were historys actors and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.
[S}enior adviser to Bush, Ron Suskind, New York Times, 2004
Government by blackmail is incompatible with democracy.

L ord have mercy and as God knows we could use some!
After running around this blue ball for nigh on seventy-three years and moving in some strange circles, I reckoned I had seen, heard and read about most everything.
But the depth and breadth of Whitney Webbs opus, A Nation Under Blackmail: The Sordid Union Between Intelligence and Crime that Gave Rise to Jeffrey Epstein, exceeded my expectations. Matter-of-fact, Whitney delivered two books, over 900 fact-filled pages of expos, exploring a netherworld nexus of criminals, scammers, drug-dealers, bagmen, intelligence agents, government operatives and political fixers.
How did this corruption happen? How did it seep so far into our body politic? What can we the people do?
TrineDay has been striving for years to bring these shameful actions more exposure, because we believe that by informing folks of the atrociousness of our current situation, we the people can overcome the perfidy we find ourselves enmeshed in.
We have published Nick Bryants Franklin Scandal: A Story of Power-brokers, Child Abuse & Betrayal, Henry Vinsons Confessions of a DC Madam The Politics of Sex, Lies, and Blackmail, Dr. Lori Handrahans Epidemic Americas Trade in Child Rape, and others. We tried to get these books mainstream press coverage, hired PR folks, sent out numerous press releases to no avail. Even the fringe outlets wouldnt cover, we were told directly that Coast-to-Coast AM wouldnt cover these subjects, and were never able to get these authors on. Jesse Ventura informed us that he was instructed that his show Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura could not cover pedophilia scandals. Why? And by keeping honest information away from folk, it has allowed for the spurious politicization of very real events into crazy conspiracy theories and meme warfare that devalues, deflects and derides the actuality of the abuse.
Our forefathers and subsequent generations have given much so that we can live in this grand experiment of people running their own affairs, not ruled by Royals or Popes, but by our own wit and gumption. We can survive this corruption, and be better by its exposure.
Whitney Webb is one of the lonely voices of truth in the wilderness of todays media landscape. She has been delivering solid information through various websites and podcasts. TrineDay is proud to publish her two volume exposition, A Nation Under Blackmail, a deep, deep dive into corruption that effects all of our lives and futures. Not salacious reportage but one that asks the basic questions: who, what, where, how and why.
Looking at this history, Whitney sorts out the different players, agendas and scandals giving us a honest view of our past warts and all. And gives us a surprising glimpse of forthcoming technological advances in blackmail techniques. Thank-you, Whitney!
Whither goest our ship of state?
Onwards to the Utmost of Futures!
Peace,

CONTENTS
INTRODUCTION, VOLUME 2
T he July 2019 arrest of Jeffrey Epstein and his subsequent death that August brought national as well as international attention to a sex ring where certain members of the power elite sexually abused and exploited female minors and young women. Epsteins death, officially ruled a suicide, has been treated skeptically by many, for a variety of reasons. Regardless of the real circumstances of his death, it has led to scores of Americans embracing the view that his death was both intentional and necessary to protect his powerful co-conspirators and the full extent of his covert and illegal activities.
Even if one chooses not to entertain such disconcerting possibilities, it is quite apparent that most of those who aided or enabled Epstein will never see the inside of a prison cell. Though Ghislaine Maxwell is now serving a 20 year sentence, others known to have been intimately involved in his illegal activities continue to enjoy protection from the so-called sweetheart deal, or plea deal that followed Epsteins first run-in with the law for his sex trafficking activities in the mid-2000s. In addition, Ghislaine Maxwells recent trial saw information involving third parties redacted, leading many to believe that the public will never know the names of the johns or clients, who benefitted from the sex trafficking activities of Epstein and Maxwell and who were potentially blackmailed by them.
Yet, for both Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, there is much more to the story. This became apparent when it emerged that Alex Acosta, then-serving as Secretary of Labor in the Trump administration, had disclosed to the Trump transition team that he had previously signed off on Epsteins sweet-heart deal because Epstein had belonged to intelligence. Acosta, then serving as US attorney for Southern Florida, had also been told by unspecified figures at the time that he needed to give Epstein a lenient sentence because of his links to intelligence. When Acosta was later asked if Epstein was indeed an intelligence asset in 2019, Acosta chose to neither confirm or deny the claim.
Other hints of a connection between Epstein and intelligence subsequently emerged, with reporting from a variety of sources that Epstein was affiliated with the CIA, Israeli intelligence, or both. Despite the implications and significance of these connection(s) to intelligence, most of mainstream media declined to dig deeper into these claims, instead largely focusing on the salacious aspects of the Epstein case. The narrative soon became that Epstein was an anomaly, the sole mastermind of an industrial sex trafficking enterprise and a talented con artist. Even his closest associates and benefactors, like retail billionaire Leslie Wexner, have been taken at their word that they knew nothing of Epsteins crimes, even when there is considerable evidence to the contrary.
