If 2026 is the “Year of the Citizen Journalist,” Kait Justice might end up being the world’s most important citizen researcher due to her exemplary research on the Epstein saga.
As mentioned in my article, among writers on the Left, the predicate explaining the great interest in the “Epstein files” is clearly an interest to (finally) “get” Donald Trump.
For her part, Kait Justice has explored (although not in great detail) two theories that would involve Trump. Her first theory is that Epstein and Trump were long-time great friends and Trump might have always known about Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation and, perhaps, even facilitated it.
The second theory she seems to be investigating is that Trump was a TARGET of Epstein and whatever intelligence agencies might have recruited Epstein to head up a massive blackmail or “intelligence” operation.
The second theory would postulate that Trump had indeed been compromised or “captured” - probably by Mossad and the government of Israel. It would flow from this case theory that Trump’s possible interest in spiking the release of the Epstein files is an effort to not expose the nefarious and thermo-nuclear clandestine activities of America’s close ally and friend, Israel.
In thinking about this second theory, it seems to me that if Donald Trump was indeed captured and effectively controlled by the government of Israel, the last thing this nation would want is for Donald Trump to be removed from office.
In other words, this nation would seem to have the ideal president to advance the interests of Israel (like, for example, defeating its enemy, Iran, and ensuring it can continue its military operations in Gaza.) Per this logic, Israel or those who support Israel causes might be leading the effort to get liberal groups to leave Donald Trump alone.
Instead, almost the entire Leftist establishment is as motivated as ever to remove Trump from office.
Both Israel (and also Saudi Arabia) seem to have a great supporter leading the U.S. government - a man who once campaigned against neocon policies, but now seems to support a very active military that favors multiple regime-change operations.
Anyway, I find it odd that a press dominated by Jewish owners and editors is leading the effort to remove and disgrace a man who seems willing to advance any proposal put forward by Benjamin Netanyahu or billionaire supporters of the nation of Israel.
Holy Crap - don't "overthink it" Bill. Is it Israel First or America First is the question Trump supporters ought be asking themselves - the one who voted him into office.
So far seems Israel First to me - and that makes no sense - none at all.
So - glad I didn't vote - tis a waste of damn time.
I think it is time to call a spade a spade - and the federal gubment out of DC - what good has come out of that place in my lifetime - I was born in '65 and I can't think of one goddamn good thing come out of dc since the day I was born. Fact of the matter is I have conclude I have been lied to since the day I was born - I'm none to pleased about it - and there are consequences - cause I know I ain't alone in said sentiment.
I was wondering why this story produced no Reader Comments .... Then I realized the settings were set to allow comments for paid subscribers only. That was an accident on my part. I always allow comments for everyone. (The default of Substack is for only paid subscribers to be allowed to comment. You have to manually change this setting before you send a story and I forgot to do this with this piece. Anyway, I've now changed it so that anyone in the whole wide world who would like to make a comment now can.)
UPDATE: When I started working on this story, Ms. Justice had 3,300 subscribers on Substack. Three days later she has more than 3,600. As she has pointed out, if even less than 20 percent of these subscribers become paid subscribers, that would allow her to make enough money to do this work full-time. I once did a similar analysis. Eighty days into my Substack, I thought I was on pace to reach 1,000 paid subscribers by the fall of 2027. Alas, my momentum and growth didn't last and actually - about 1 7 months ago - reversed. Based on current paid subscriber trends, I'll have fewer than 100 paid subscribers by the end of next year.
Take-away: "Something" changed!
Still, I'm pulling for Ms. Justice's site to keep adding free and paid subscribers. The research she is doing is incredibly tedious and time-consuming. And that doesn't count the time she spends writing articles. She is also "connecting dots" and focussing on "patterns" other people aren't. I do the same thing with my articles. Your brain never really turns off as you try to connect some dots or circle back to details or events that are more significant than people might realize.
I'll be honest. I subscribed to her after reading your post, then unsubscrubed maybe 5 minutes later after scrolling through her most recent posts. I'm all TDS'd out, thank you. It reached over-saturation long ago, and I value my time. I'd rather let the President do his job, and get on with mine.
I trust some of my more-savvy readers might have picked up on what I'm trying to do by highlighting the Epstein scandal (and any citizen journalist who might publish explosive revelations dealing with same).
I've already pretty much given up on the possibility that anyone "who matters" is going to expose any thermo-nuclear scandals involving Covid and the response to Covid.
However, at the moment, there is a great deal of bi-partisan interest in "exposing the Epstein scandal."
My thought is that if this scandal goes nuclear, large swaths of the population might ask themselves, "Well, what else have these trusted officials been lying to us about?"
The answer, of course, would be "everything." The conclusion might quickly become that all the accepted Narratives are, in fact, bogus or at least very dubious.
Thus, my hope is that one Thermo-Nuclear Truth Bomb going off might set off a chain-reaction of belated "truth-searching" that leads to the Covid scandals being exposed.
I'm trying to get the Covid scandals exposed via some kind of back-door entry (and Epstein might be this portal).
As I view things, it's worth a try. It's very rare when you'd have so many people - and so many citizen journalists doing work captured corporate journalists won't do - who are all actually trying to expose an army of villains and serial liars. We won't get many of these opportunities, so we need to strike while the iron is hot .
One of Kait Justice's great email finds shows that the DoJ told officials in New Mexico to NOT investigate any sex-trafficking evidence at Epstein's Zorro "ranch" in this same state, which they didn't do. In fact, the 10,000-acre ranch with one of the biggest houses in the state was never searched by any law enforcement agency.
An anecdote I included in one of my recent Epstein articles is, I think, germane. Here it is:
Subhead: One Possible John named … Bill
Among the more than 100 VIPs who have been named as possible Epstein “clients” or “Johns” is Bill Richardson, a Democrat who became the governor of New Mexico, after serving in several (fixer?) capacities in the administrations of Bill Clinton.
Before Covid, I did a great deal of research into the Epstein saga (as I thought, naively, this could be a “thermo-nuclear truth bomb if the scandal was fully exposed.)
In one of my saved files is a story that includes Richardson’s obligatory statement that he knew nothing about Epstein’s alleged sex-trafficking operation.
Richardson’s statement added a sentence that’s always stuck with me.
“(Gov. Richardson) was informed by the assistant U.S. Attorney responsible for the case that Gov. Richardson is neither a target, subject, nor witness in the case and that there is no allegation against Gov. Richardson that the government is actively investigating.“
This, to me, has always been another “smoking gun,” one that proves that any possible “John” would be off-limits to “investigators” and prosecutors.
In my mind, the real reason the late Richardson couldn’t be questioned by authorities is that if he was, the same investigators would have to question every possible John.
It’s this scenario - every possible John would be questioned by real truth-seeking detectives and prosecutors - that might start peeling layers off this onion and show the public the true rotten character of the world’s real leaders.
This exercise in “searching for the truth” would also expose a justice system that covers for the wealthy and powerful. (The real lesson or take-away: Justice is NOT blind and a different system of justice exists for the rich, well-connected and powerful).
FWIW, the exact same rationale explains why no official who committed “Crimes against humanity” in Covid can be questioned and prosecuted. Once officials question one fraudulent and complicit official, they couldn’t stop with this person. Thus, the simple solution is to not question or prosecute any of the guilty conspirators.

My essay from Nov. 1 6: “Epstein files” Narrative is bogus:
I wonder, what would happen if the entire "Epstein Saga" finally comes into full view? Nothing. All the rats and pervs will deny everything up until their last gulps of air.
Another scandalous topic relevant to families is how families are ignored, lied to, manipulated, threatened and poorly treated when trying to advocate for a family member who is a patient. The medical industrial complex is a nightmare made worse by Medicare.
The Chicago Tribune recently did an exposé on area hospitals aggressively pursuing guardianship. Medical industry is not your friend.
One doctor we know said medicine is about money and metrics and not patient care.
Thanks, Margaret. Look for my next piece on the "world's most significant citizen researchers" - the mothers who did their own research and concluded that "vaccines" caused the autism of their children. They were ignored and blown off ... until RFK, Jr. actually read a box of documents one of these mothers dropped on his front door step and told him she wasn't leaving until he read this material.
Kait Justice has added more than 3,600 subscribers (and hundreds of paid subscribers) since she became a citizen journalist focussing on the Epstein files about 90 days ago.
I’ve also written many pieces on the Epstein saga and am also a “citizen journalist,” although I am a “Covid Contrarian” citizen journalist (big and key difference IMO).
For context or comparison purposes ... In the past 8 days, I’ve LOST 28 subscribers. This anecdote/metric might also qualify as a “dot” explaining what’s really going on in the world, at least on the “reach-suppression” battlefield.
Suppressing the reach of specific "citizen journalists" is probably one of the "keys to the operation" for the Powers that Be who know they can be exposed by certain citizen journalists. They know they don't have to worry about any corporate "journalists" working in the Fourth Estate.
I just re-read my own piece from two months ago ("Epstein files" Narrative is Bogus). I think It holds up nicely and might be worth a read for those who missed it.
Why people are obsessed with “getting Donald Trump,” the only President in my very long life time who is actually working around the clock to improve conditions for American citizens is beyond my ability to understand. Also, if Trump had been involved in Epstein’s sexual depravity, the Dems would have been proclaiming that evidence from the rooftops. But, as usual, all they do is lie and accuse others of their own crimes.
I started reading the first of Kait's articles that you recommended (https://kaitjustice.com/the-epstein-report-part-1/jus), and it immediately started to seem like it was written by AI, e.g., the sentence that starts with "But Maxwell wasn’t just...". AI likes to use "isn't just" or "wasn't just". So I copied the four paragraphs under the heading "Robert Maxwell and the Family Business" into two AI detectors (https://gptzero.me/ and https://www.pangram.com/) and they both said that those paragraphs were very likely AI-written.
This is not to discount the value of Kait's work, but I hope that if she really is using AI, she'll disclose this somewhere. It's possible I might have missed the disclosure.

We were born the same year - great vent it is “make Israel great again.”

Edit: I got some nice feedback from Kait, who did correct one error I made. Her real name is NOT Kait Justice. Per Kait in a note message:
My name is Kaitlyn Pierce. Kait Justice is my pen name that kind of started as a bit of a joke actually!
