One Nation Under Blackmail - Vol. 1: The Sordid Union Between Intelligence and Crime that Gave Rise to Jeffrey Epstein, VOL.1 Kindle Edition

by Whitney Alyse (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
See all formats and editions
Exposes vastly under-explored topics compared to other media reports and books on Jeffrey Epstein How did Jeffrey Epstein manage to evade justice for decades? Who enabled him and why? Why were legal officials told that Epstein “ belonged to intelligence” and to back off during his first arrest in the mid-2000s? Volume 1 of One Nation Under Blackmail traces the origin of the network behind Jeffrey Epstein and his associates to the merging of organized crime and intelligence networks during World War II and follows their most notable activities through the decades. Various scandals, acts of corruption and other crimes throughout the last several decades of American history, many involving sex blackmail, can be traced back to these same networks, which have subverted and taken control of many of America' s most important institutions for their benefit, and to the detriment of the public.

So detailed. Difficult for me to follow. So many references to future and past chapters. But I keep reading. Slowly. Hoping some of it will stick for when I get to the next book containing information on Jeffrey Epstein which is who I’m interested in.

But this book in itself is extraordinarily interesting. Beginning in post WWII and continuing so far (I’m only on pg 243 of 500) through the W. Bush administration. To know that every US administration has aligned itself with drug traffickers, arms dealers, branches of the mob, known enemies of the state, assassins, and involved itself with murder, smuggling, human trafficking, the sex trade, Ponzi schemes, money laundering, bank fraud and so many other illegal activities that I can’t even remember them all. To learn that corporations like American Express, Bank of America, Pennzoil, The Limited, Victoria’s Secret, TWA aand more are all involved. And the banks! Every single one you can think of involved in these illegal activities. The CIA, the FBI, governors, district attorneys, senators, congressmen, cabinet members. Complete industries such as liquor, shipping, trucking, publishing, machinery and metal, and more. No hands are clean!!

I knew our government was corrupt but never to the extent that this book reveals. I can read only short snippets at a time as the information in this book is beyond disheartening to the point of devastating.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dense, tough read... but worth it.

FOCUS PEOPLE! You'll need it to make it through this book, which is a fairly comprehensive rehash of the history of the relationships and partnerships between certain sections of the government, the military-industrial complex, the banking industry, and organized crime. Now, that is A LOT OF GROUND to cover, and this book could easily have been twice or three times as long as the over 500 pages it already is.

It is not so much about Epstein himself, but about the creation and functioning of the systems that allowed - and continue to allow - such a monster to not only exist, but to repeatedly get away with it. (If you're looking specifically about info on Epstein and ONLY Epstein, then you can pick up volume 2 and skip this one, though I do not recommend that you do that, for reasons I'll explain at the end of this review.)

For those looking for salacious details of Epstein's sex trafficking organization - look elsewhere. That's not what this series is about. It is about the much deeper and much more troubling systemic corruption that gave Epstein his incredible wealth and power over politicians, businesses, and the law enforcement agencies that were supposed to be watching him, but ended up letting him go time and time again.

Warning to conservatives: some of your heroes will be exposed as the truly evil people they are/were. I personally have no problem with this - to me, the truth is more important - but if you're the type of person who responds reflexively when bad things are said about conservative Republicans, then you'll have some issues with this book. Then again, if you can keep an open mind, and are old enough to remember the narratives presented at the time of the events referenced, you should be able to keep your preconceived ideas from blocking out the truth.

You'll have a much easier time with this book if you have some knowledge of the major corruption scandals of the 20th century - specifically Watergate, Iran-Contra, the PROMIS/Inslaw scandal, BCCI, and the S&L scandal, as well as the history of Israel and it's intelligence/defense apparatus. Even if you just remember the headlines from those days, it'll help.

The only thing this book is missing in my opinion is some sort of "family tree" showing in graphic form the interconnectivity of the "enterprises" involved. But, seriously, that would be somebody's dissertation given the volume of information involved. I also wish it was better edited with a little more connective detail, but then that would make this 5 or 6 volumes rather than just two. I'D love it... but I doubt many other people would.

The main takeaways are that - as long and as dense as it is - this is really an INTRODUCTION to the systemic corruption of America, not the last word.

If you're looking specifically about info on Epstein and ONLY Epstein, then you can pick up volume 2 and skip this one, though I do NOT recommend that you do that. This is IMPORTANT information that every American should know, not just for what happened in the past, but what is coming in the future - when blackmail will be a way of life, and where every American will live under constant threat of having the most intimate details of their public and private lives exposed. Blackmail will become THE defining crime of the 21st century, and, in many ways, already is - thanks to massive data harvesting entities and an anonymous internet where anyone can be destroyed financially with the click of a button.

I like the citing of information sources. It is evident that Whitney Webb worked very hard on this material. I appreciate that in this two-volume set Ms. Webb has documentation of the truth. Also, I try to watch/listen to her interviews to find out what she is currently uncovering.

I'm on page 130 of 500. Whitney Webb has introduced a LOT of people, organizations, and businesses (especially banks) from North America and Europe. It's difficult to keep them all straight, especially when the banks and organizations are referred to as acronyms after they're first introduced.

But, I'm impressed. The research is heavily footnoted and seems solid. I keep breaking away to fact check and research the various people online and once again it's obvious how much a person misses when they do most or all of their research online instead of wading into a book like this. It's not light, easy reading, but the information seems accurate, and it really digs in to the times, organizations, people, power, and money that have been major global influences, and how parts of our modern political and economic history have operated illegally and unobserved by the public.

What a world we live in. Very informative this book, covers a wide range of crookedness amongst the higher ups going back all the way back to world war 2 to give us a gist of how Epstein came to be who he was, doing what he was, using who he did. Expertly written and very addictive to read. And Vol 2? Well I won't spoil that either. Whitney Webb is one of my favourite researchers, she dives deeply, very deeply, follows every lead, scrutinises every possibility and opens any doors needed to reach the final result of her investigations, very professionally. Would recommend to everybody. And if you're into the Epstein scandal then it's a must have. What this book reveals will blow you're mind and leave you begging for more and wondering why such powerful people could or would do what they do. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Sehr viel Content. Einiges kannte ich, aber sehr viel Neues ist dabei. Einige Namen tauchen immer wieder auf, auch in anderen Büchern. Ist mühsam sich durchzuarbeiten, aber es lohnt sich. Die Mechanismen der Erpressung sind seit Jahrhunderten relativ gleich.
