I am just guessing out loud here. Maybe some of those names have "kill switches" that they can activate if they are exposed? As in weapons of mass casualty or destruction?

I'd say a lot depends upon what intelligence agency Epstein may have been working for and how any dirt gathered was used. Other than the teenage girl sex we don't really know what went on and with whom. Probably all sorts of "Christian" politicians, "law and order" types, industrial leaders, etc getting down and really dirty when they thought no one was looking. I think some of the shit would make Caligula look like a piker.

Have all sorts of pics, movies and other neat stuff, show it to the perv involved and tell them who they're gonna support, how they are gonna vote, what they will spew outta their perverted pie holes, etc. Blackmailing for fun and profit..........government style.

Be interesting to know exactly who was there and what they did. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening. But it sure would be neat to actually see and hear what went on with whom. And the public reaction would be something to see.

The claim about Donald Trump's advisor, Alina Habba, discovering a "fake Oval Office" used by President Joe Biden is not entirely accurate. The room in question is actually a set located in the South Court Auditorium of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, which has been used by multiple presidents, including Biden, Trump, and Obama

This set is often used for televised meetings and events because it allows for better control of lighting, teleprompters, and other equipment.

Gee, it's almost as if Q can spout off a bunch of bullshit and some people will eat it up hook line and sinker.

Gee if you actually followed Q you would also know Q hasn't posted since January 22, 2022.
 
Exactly! Also why the left is going bonkers about DOGE and what's being dismantled with USAID

We've unknowingly been funding our own demise!

 
I thought there was a separate thread for Q stuff so the rest of us wouldn't need to endure the insane stuff posted there.

GH I have been nice not trouncing on all the Q posts making their way into other threads here so please be respectful to the rest of us and keep Q stuff posted over there.

Just pointing out for those who don't know... yes, they exist right along side of the ones who refuse to know....

Who knows? There could be someone passing by who didn't know and now is curious and will do further research into what Q was all about and still is, but unfortunately, they would have to join PMBug as it's buried behind a wall.
 
History

GROK: Did Andrew Jackson kill the bank?

Yes, Andrew Jackson effectively "killed" the Second Bank of the United States through his actions during what is known as the Bank War. Here's a concise breakdown based on the historical context from the web results you provided:
  1. Background: The Second Bank of the United States (BUS), established in 1816, was a public-private institution that served as the nation's central bank. By the late 1820s, under President Nicholas Biddle, it had stabilized and was seen as crucial by many, but it was also controversial for concentrating economic power in the hands of a wealthy elite.
  2. Jackson's Opposition: When Andrew Jackson became president in 1828, he was deeply suspicious of the BUS, viewing it as unconstitutional, elitist, and a threat to democratic control of the economy. He believed it favored the wealthy over the common people and held too much power.
  3. The Bank War:
    • In 1829 and 1830, Jackson publicly criticized the bank, making his constitutional objections clear.
    • In 1832, Congress passed a bill to recharter the BUS for another 15 years. Jackson vetoed this bill, famously stating, “The bank is trying to kill me, but I will kill it.” His veto message argued that the bank concentrated too much power and served the interests of the rich, not the nation as a whole.
    • The bank’s fate became a central issue in the 1832 presidential election, which Jackson won, reinforcing his mandate against the BUS.
  4. Actions to Destroy the Bank:
    • After his re-election, Jackson moved to dismantle the bank’s power. In 1833, he ordered the withdrawal of all federal government deposits from the BUS and redistributed them to state-chartered banks, known as "pet banks." This severely weakened the BUS financially.
    • The BUS’s federal charter expired in 1836, and although it obtained a state charter from Pennsylvania to continue operating, it struggled due to poor investment decisions and the national economic distress of the time. It ultimately went out of business in 1841.
  5. Legacy: Jackson’s actions decentralized the U.S. banking system, leading to a period of financial instability but also fulfilling his goal of reducing the federal government’s ties to centralized banking. His victory in the Bank War is seen as a significant moment in American economic history, reflecting his populist stance against concentrated financial power.
So, while Jackson didn’t physically destroy the bank, his political and economic maneuvers—vetoing its recharter, withdrawing federal funds, and allowing its charter to expire—effectively ended the Second Bank of the United States as a national institution. His actions were decisive in "killing" its role and influence in the U.S. economy.
