Few media figures are more seriously obnoxious and lacking in journalisitic ethics than Rachel Maddow, the default Russiagater “brainiac” at MSNBC. In this segment she ends up practically giving the game away, and Jimmy catches her.

LESLIE—During these debates, Destiny has made it clear that he has no desire to read or engage with leftist theory. As a result, he seems to have only a very cursory understanding of how capitalism functions, while at the same time echoing such mainstream historians as Fukayama in a belief that capitalism is all there is and that this economic system represents “the end of history”.

Did Jeffrey Epstein “Belong to Intelligence?”
9 minutes readTHOMAS KNAPP—But another possibility rears its ugly head. In an article for The Daily Beast, investigative journalist Vicky Ward quotes a former senior White House official, in turn quoting Acosta’s response to questions about Epstein during his interview with President Donald Trump’s transition team: “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone.” Yes, we’re getting that quote at third hand. Unfortunately, yes, it sounds plausible.

GAITHER STEWART—Twenty years later, in the year 2000, another of many family tragedies struck the Agnellis: Gianni’s only male son, Edoardo, committed suicide at age 46. Born in New York, schooled in Turin and university studies at Princeton, Edoardo was the natural male heir to FIAT leadership, as per tradition passing from father to son. Yet he was both inept and disinterested in the business world. Edoardo’s interests were mysticism, Buddhism and Islam, defense of the poor … and furthermore he was allegedly anti-capitalist. His life was solitude and unhappiness, caught in the trap between what he wanted to do with his life and what his loving family expected of him: Edoardo was both the love and the desperation of his adoring parents. Yet no more than bourgeois capitalism can be compatible with the authentic interests of the working class, Edoardo Agnelli and the capitalism of which FIAT was the symbol were incompatible. Leadership of the Agnelli empire had no place in Edoardo’s world.
