The Epstein File Flop is Part of the Plan and Right On Schedule

When the truth is the cabal is bipartisan, boring, real, and involves their God King, the men in charge need to shift the narrative and blame it on a woman.

I took a few days off to pay respects to my beloved big sister. During that time, I formed some thoughts on the disappearing Epstein list that I’d like to share—apologies for the delay.

First, the good news: MAGA is imploding over Pam Bondi’s little oopsie.
The bad news? That might be the whole point.

Let’s rewind.

For months, Trumpworld promised us the Epstein “client list” was coming. Pam Bondi said it was on her desk. Bongino had a meltdown trying to get it. The base was frothing — finally, the takedown of the Democrat cabal! The moment the child-sacrificing, adrenochrome-snorting elites would be exposed and justice would prevail!

But then — right after the federal budget passed, right after ICE was handed a war chest big enough to start its own army — the DOJ quietly slipped out a memo.

No list. No cover-up. No blackmail. Epstein died by suicide.
Oops. Sorry.

Just like that, the MAGA myth collapsed.

Bondi blamed “outdated surveillance.”
Bongino threatened to quit.
Bannon screamed betrayal and demanded a special prosecutor.
Jack Posobiec showed up on War Room with a big binder labeled “THE LIST,” theatrically slamming it on the table — but didn’t read a single name.
Even Elon Musk rage-tweeted at Trump to “just release the damn files.”

And Trump? He told everyone to move on:

“Are you still talking about Epstein?”
Which, in MAGA terms, might as well be “screw you and your little theories too.”

And now the base is pissed.

The Stall Was the Strategy

Let’s be honest — this was never about “releasing the truth.”
It was about stalling long enough to push through the authoritarian wishlist: Project 2025, Schedule F, mass deportation, ICE expansion, DOJ decapitation, the whole Christo-fascist buffet.

They needed MAGA to stay fixated on the fantasy of justice long enough for the actual machinery of authoritarian control to click into place.

If you’ve ever talked to someone deep in MAGA delusion, you know their sense of moral superiority hinges on one central myth: that a cabal of evil Democrats—especially the so-called Obama and Biden “crime families”—is trafficking children. They treat it as fact. No evidence. No witnesses. Just conviction. And the Epstein list? That was supposed to be the smoking gun that proved it all.

Until it wasn’t.

So now what?

Don’t be fooled. There’s a plan. There’s always a plan.

Scapegoat the Women, Always

Let’s not miss this part. Pam Bondi is now the second woman publicly blamed for Epstein’s crimes. The first was Ghislaine Maxwell.
Both were useful until they weren’t.
Both got fed to the outrage machine.

Meanwhile the men — Trump, Clinton, Dershowitz, Gates — remain protected. No perp walks. No trials. Not even a tinge of consequence.

It’s not justice. It’s not even theater.
It’s a carefully managed demolition.

The Real Goal Was Never Trump

Now here’s the part I’m not hearing from the media:

Project 2025 was always going to require the base to turn on Trump eventually.

Not because they suddenly grew a conscience. But because they need the base to believe in the mission, not the man.

You can’t build a generational authoritarian regime around a 79-year-old narcissist with a golf problem and early-onset delusion. Trump was always the vessel. Never the destination.

And what better way to shift the base than this?

• Drop just enough Epstein documentation to implicate both Trump and Clinton.

• Frame it not as Trump’s failure, but as “confirmation” of bipartisan corruption.

• Get the base angry at Trump — not because he’s a monster, but because he didn’t deliver.

• Then roll in someone like JD Vance to “clean up the mess” and “do it right this time.”

They don’t need Trump’s chaos anymore. They have power now. What they need is loyalty to the project. And the base? They’ll stick around if you tell them the real villain was never Trump — it was the cabal all along.

Keep Your Eyes on the Handlers

This isn’t a meltdown. It’s a baton pass.
Bondi was the last shield. The list was the last grift. And now?

They’re clearing the runway for what’s next.

Whatever that is will likely include more stalling, a soft version of Trump-blaming, and a “new direction” with a younger, more polished version of Trump to continue the job of clearing the country of moral vices.

So yeah, let the base scream betrayal. Let Posobiec wave his empty binder. Let Bannon huff and puff about losing 40 House seats. They’ll manage it — just like they’ve managed everything else. Because they don’t need all the believers to wake up.

They just need enough of them to transfer their loyalty to the new face of the same old regime.

And that, friends, is right on schedule.

But it’s not the end. Not by a long shot.

If you’re watching Trump’s base unravel over the Epstein file flop, this is your moment.

Talk to your uncle. Your coworker. Your mom.
The ones who went all-in on Trump but are starting to feel let down.

Don’t argue. Don’t shame. Ask questions.

“Why do you think they pulled the plug now?”
“Is it possible this whole time it was about power, not justice?”

This isn’t just about Epstein and abuse.
It’s about control, grift, and a movement that’s ready to dump Trump but keep every authoritarian tool he helped build.

If you want to do something real—something that actually breaks the spell—
→ Start talking.
→ Start planting seeds.
→ And most of all, protect the damn election.

Because if we want any shot at stopping what Project 2025 has in store, we need a fair election.
No games. No rigging. No stolen seats.

I laid out how we can make that happen here: They Told Us They Rigged It.

Let’s not waste the opening.
They’re off balance. Let’s make sure they fall.

It’s good to be back—

Rosie
