Nothing to see in Epstein sex files? Time for Trump to release the X-Files
It described how some citizens of the former Soviet Union had been propagated into a new offshoot of the human species.
A branch of the family tree that had evolved to resign itself to totalitarian control.
Homo Sovieticus now has an American cousin. Let's call him Pro Maganon Man.
He's a prototype of the Q-Anon conspiracy fantasist crossed with the DNA of Donald Trump's MAGA political cult, a creature bred to ignore reality, facts and knowledge.
Q-Anon was born around the belief that Trump was secretly fighting a cabal of cannibalistic paedophiles from Hollywood.
Conspiracy is its creed.
So to these people the notion that some things just 'are', while others are demonstrably 'not'? Well that's just goddamned woke, leftist 'reality' talk. Donald Trump 'was told months ago' his name was in Jeffrey Epstein files
Somehow Trump either understood or stumbled on this political force and has weaponised it to foster a kind of Maga stormtrooper.
That's why it's particularly satisfying to watch as he now wrestles for control of the monster he created.
A founding tenet of Maganon Man's church of conspiracy is that a who's who of liberal elites were a part of Jeffrey Epstein's global paedophile ring.
Trump's throwaway manifesto pledge to release the files that would prove it, had his flock salivating in rapturous anticipation.
But in his first real breach with the fantasy cult that he has nurtured, the Donald has now denied their infallible article of faith.
He has said there is nothing to see in the runes of the great conspiracy. He has tried to fob them off with the absurd notion of 'facts.'
The sweet irony is it doesn't even matter if he's now telling the truth or not.
Not when you're preaching to an audience of people who proclaim the world to be flat, the moon landings to be fake and hurricanes to be directed by Joe Biden sowing seeds in the clouds.
Asking them to accept a reality based on some facts you have to hand, is akin to telling a devoted Christian soldier to switch sides to the Devil. Trump's Epstein birthday letter read out spells trouble for US President
The Maganon congregation possess a blind faith that would even make the Pope blush.
Pope Leo may be God's man on earth but he is also a trained mathematician who last week congratualted astronaut Buzz Aldrin on the anniversary of his lunar landing feats.
The Pontiff wouldn't last day one at Maganon Man boot camp.
The Church of Conspiracy's holiest prayer is 'Thou shall own your own truth.'
Whatever it suits at any given moment to believe, that is what's true in that moment, a reality of your own making that is even better than the real thing.
Trump has not just let this side down. He has committed a sacrilege against its fundamental belief system by dismissing the great Epstein conspiracy theory.
It remains to be seen what price the faithful will demand for his heresy. The Ministry of Trump has wrapped America in a perfect storm of ignorance
Allowing actual reality to appear out from behind the curtain usually doesn't end well for the leader of the cult.
But if the prodigal president is looking for a way back to the fold, one man may have a cunning plan: Forget Epstein and his sex files - release the X-Files instead!
British alien hunter Gary Heseltine believes Trump can unite all the warring tribes of the earth by telling the truth about UFOs. The X Files Television series which follows two FBI Alien investigators Mulder and Skully played by David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as they track down weird and unusual sightings
This week he implored the American president 'to inform the world about the reality of NHI (Non Human Intelligence) soon, or risk causing major public panic with a 'Catastrophic Disclosure' event. "
A 'catastrophic disclosure event' is exactly what the MAGA cult was expecting from the Epstein files.
So it's got to be tempting for Trump to give 'em a bit of that ole time conspiracy religion again. If nothing else it sounds like a big, beautiful distraction.
Release the UFO X Files? Watch this space.

Cambodia and Thailand to hammer out permanent ceasefire in Malaysia meeting
Cambodia and Thailand's top defence officials have begun a meeting in Malaysia to finalise a permanent end to hostilities following a violent five-day border conflict that ended in an unconditional ceasefire late in July. The Southeast Asian neighbours saw the worst fighting in over a decade last month, including exchanges of artillery fire and jetfighter bombing runs that claimed at least 43 lives and left over 300,000 people displaced on both sides of the border. Fighting continued despite diplomatic interventions from China and Malaysia, chair of the regional bloc ASEAN, calling for restraint. The leaders of Cambodia and Thailand only came to the negotiation table when US President Donald Trump told them that tariff negotiations would not continue unless there was peace. Cambodian Defence Minister Tea Seiha and Thailand's acting defence minister Nattaphon Narkphanit are due to meet at Malaysia's Armed Forces headquarters in Kuala Lumpur. The two countries will establish guidelines to resolve border disputes, restore trust between their military forces and agree to a ceasefire with measures to minimise tensions and protect civilians, Mr Nattaphon said in a statement before the talks. The conditions were formulated during three days of talks between senior officials in Kuala Lumpur and are to be finalised on the fourth day in the presence of observers from China and the United States. Thailand and Cambodia have quarrelled for decades over undemarcated parts of their 817 km land border, which was first mapped by France in 1907 when the latter was its colony.

Defiant Putin launches fresh strike in night of hell in Ukraine despite ‘meeting with Trump' as early as NEXT WEEK
Putin's forces also killed at least three Ukrainians in Nikopol, including a 23-year-old first responder ENDLESS ONSLAUGHT Defiant Putin launches fresh strike in night of hell in Ukraine despite 'meeting with Trump' as early as NEXT WEEK RUSSIA has stepped up its savage bombing campaign on Ukraine despite hopes of an end to the war. The attacks comes as Vladimir Putin is set to meet Trump in an historic summit for Ukraine peace talks. 8 Putin is set to meet Trump in a historic summit Credit: AFP or licensors 8 Video footage shows the Kremlin's forces striking a key bridge in Kherson Credit: East2West 8 Putin greets Trump's Special Envoy Steve Witkoff in Moscow for last-minute talks Video footage shows the Kremlin's forces striking a key bridge in Kherson, which it failed to dislodge in six massive aerial attacks. Russian war channels suggest sabotage groups will seek to capture the major city, which is close to the front-line - a claim strongly disputed by Ukraine. Separate footage shows Shahed-2 drones striking Dnipropetrovsk region, where four were injured including a 69-year-old woman. Putin's forces also killed at least three Ukrainians in Nikopol, including Danylo Khizhnyak, a 23-year-old firsts responder. Separately, the Russians killed a 62-year-old civilian woman in Huliaipole, near the frontline in Zaporizhzhia region. Moscow released visuals of this week's joint war games with China - Maritime Interaction-2025 - in which the two repressive states conducted artillery combat on a 'simulated enemy' in a show of strength to the West. The savage onslaught comes amid reports of a planned meeting between Trump and Putin to discuss an end to the war. Trump discussed the potential meeting with Putin yesterday during a call with Zelensky and other European leaders, the New York Times reports. Sir Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Nato chief Mark Rutte were among those on the call. Russia vows 'no limits' on nuke missiles in chilling warning to West as Putin throws down gauntlet for Cold War showdown Both Putin and Zelensky have yet to make a response about the meeting that could mark the beginning of the end of Putin's invasion. When asked if he thought Putin was serious about the talks, Trump told reporters: 'Can't answer the question yet. I'll tell you in a matter of weeks, maybe less. But we made a lot of progress.' Meanwhile he vowed more sanctions against countries trading oil with Russia, so funding the Putin war machine. 'We did it with India, we're doing it probably with a couple of others. One of them could be China,' said Trump. Trump said a face to face encounter with Putin could come by next week. 'There's a good chance that there will be a meeting very soon,' he said. But he cautioned the progress made was not a 'breakthrough" with his secretary of state Marco Rubio insisting many obstacles still needed to be overcome. 8 Dozens have been killed in Vlad's latest attacks Credit: East2West 8 Russia struck the Dnipropetrovsk region in Ukraine Credit: East2West 8 An explosion in the Dnipropetrovsk region in Ukraine Credit: East2West Ukraine sought to increase pressure on Putin with precision strikes on key military and strategic targets in overnight action. Volodymyr Zelensky's forces reportedly hit a Russian military unit in Slavyansk-na-Kubani in Krasnodar region. 'Eyewitnesses observe a fire in the area of the military unit,' said a report. Reports said the strike was against military unit 61661. A spectacular and 'massive' inferno was burning at Afipsky Refinery in the same region after 6am explosions which 'rocked the facility, with flames lighting up the sky'. It is one of the largest refineries in southern Russia. Ukraine also targeted air defence units near Kerch in occupied Crimea, according to reports. And they hit the Surovikino railway station triggering a fire in Volgograd region, where a temporary airport closure was enforced. This was another in a series of recent strikes aimed at disrupting Putin's rail transport system, especially involving military cargoes. Earlier, unmanned boats were reported to be attacking key port Novorossiysk, in Krasnodar region. Russia claimed to have "repelled' the 4am attack, but there was no independent verification. 8 Putin's forces killed at least three Ukrainians in Nikopol Credit: East2West

Trump should use influence with Netanyahu to stop war in Gaza, says Taoiseach
US president Donald Trump should use all his influence with Israel to get prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu to stop the war in Gaza and end the starvation of Palestinians to prevent thousands of more deaths in the enclave, Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said. Mr Martin said that while there was now broad agreement within the European Union that the war in Gaza should end, the country with the most influence over Israel was clearly the United States and he believed Mr Trump should use that influence to end the conflict. 'Well, I believe he ( Mr Trump) should use his influence, and he's a man of peace, he's a man who hates war, and I believe the US can put pressure on Israel to stop this terrible war – too many innocent people are losing their lives, too many children are losing their lives. 'The European Union also has to collectively continue to put pressure on Israel. There's no argument within the European Union now in terms of the catastrophe that is unfolding for so many people ….. it's clear the people of Gaza are suffering terribly,' he said. READ MORE Speaking at a State Commemoration to mark the 250th anniversary of Daniel O'Connell in his native Caherdaniel in Kerry, Mr Martin said that he had no doubt, but that O'Connell would be horrified by what is happening in Gaza and Ukraine given his belief in democracy and freedom. 'I believe he would have been appalled by it, the injustice that's been meted out. I believe he would have called for the release of all hostages, for all the violence and the war to stop, and for a huge distribution and surge of humanitarian aid properly into Gaza. 'We are all appalled, as I said in my speech, in many ways, the legacy of O'Connell is that we do stand up and speak out for those who are suffering in Ukraine, in Gaza, in Sudan and other places of conflict,' he said. 'But what's happening within Gaza now is beyond any moral compass. There is a moral obligation on Israel to stop the killing, stop the killing of innocent people who are queuing for food, stop the killing of children, stop the starvation. 'It offends everyone across the world, and Israel itself has to stop, and I believe forces within Israel, that opinion within Israel is strengthened against the behaviour and activities of prime minister Netanyahu and his colleagues.' Mr Martin defended Ireland's actions in relation to what is happening in Gaza, saying that Ireland had adopted one of the strongest and most supportive positions in relation to the Palestinian people and their right to self-determination. 'Our stand on Gaza is one of the strongest in the world and in Europe we are working with other countries to put more pressure on Israel – everyone is now looking for a ceasefire because what is happening there is terrible (but) there is a pathway, in my view, to stopping this war.' Some 50 or so pro-Palestine supporters mounted a protest outside the grounds of Derrynane House during the O'Connell 250th commemoration, calling on the government to immediately enact the Occupied Territories Bill to outlaw trade with illegal Israeli settlements.
