So, for several days now, I’ve been wondering in anguish how it can possibly be that basically NO ONE in the US MSM is bothering to pay *any* attention to the astonishing and incredibly consequential saga of Ghislaine Maxwell. (In case you’ve been living under a large rock for a while, she’s the former girlfriend/’companion’/’business-partner’ of the late Jeffrey Epstein.)
(It appears that she essentially acted as pimp/’madame’/procurer-of-very-young-girls to traffic for the sexual gratification of dozens (hundreds?) of rich and powerful men around the world --including, potentially, Donald Trump, Alan Dershowitz, Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, and God knows how many hundreds of others.)
She’s clearly implicated in hundreds of crimes (and those crimes seem likely to implicate many of the most ‘important’ people in the world), and with her former ‘boss’ now dead (whether murdered or merely ‘allowed’ to do it himself), it appears inevitable that prosecutors will turn their attention to her.
So it was kind-of weird when there was zero real news about her, in the wake of Epstein’s death.
Then it gradually became clear that no one actually seemed to know where she was --with the implication that she might have attempted to ‘disappear’ herself and flee from justice.
(Or, perhaps, the more CT-laden inference that the people who wanted Epstein gone would probably want her gone, too, and she might’ve been ‘disappeared’ by someone else.)
Lots of speculation that she could be in London, or Paris, or the South of France where her sister lives,… but no one’s actually *seen* her anywhere.
So then, suddenly, Wednesday night, the Daily Mail drops a story that they’ve found her, hiding out in her rich new boyfriend’s beachfront manse north of Boston.

It sounded legit, though it seemed that she’d probably left there recently for parts unknown.
(How this key figure in this *incredibly* consequential and high-profile case could be hanging out in this tony community for much of the last few years, without anyone in the media being aware of it, kind of boggles my imagination, but there it is.)
Cue a couple of days of low-key discussion of whether she’s there, or was there, or where she may have gone now,… and then, BOOM, Thursday night, the always-dubious (but not always wrong) New York Post drops a bigger bombshell: we found her; here she is, having a burger in LA.
nypost.com/…
Now this was fascinating and pretty stunning, but as you read this story, you couldn’t help notice that everything about it was weird as hell.
It gives no sourcing, or even explanation, of how they found her, or who it was that found her.
It shows her hanging out in the middle of Hollywood in the middle of the day, no disguise, no cover or protection, perfectly nonchalant and blase. Does anyone think she wouldn’t have been noticed, and assailed by picture-takers (and maybe harassed or threatened) immediately??
The pictures look all wrong. They’re posed and contrived in ways that don’t seem to fit at all with the situation, or the encounter described in the piece.
I wasn’t the only person who felt the weirdness right away, and sharper-eyed internet sleuths than I quickly noticed that the pictures were clearly photo-shopped in some kind-of-bizarre ways --including the fact that a poster for a brand new movie appears to have been digitally inserted into the frame behind Ms. Maxwell.
Why would someone do that? Well, probably to make it look like this was a contemporary photo, when it might have been an old one.
(And of course it makes sense that Ghislaine might very much want to convince the world she’s somewhere else than she really is --considering the potentially-dire multiple-jeopardy she clearly may be in.)
So today, the Daily Mail --undoubtedly pissed off at being embarrassed and potentially ‘out-scooped’ by the Post— comes back with THIS story, that they’ve proved the Post story is fake, and the pictures are fake, and it looks like her lawyer conspired with them to enact this scam.
www.dailymail.co.uk/...
AND there’s a new item reporting that her sister was seen loading luggage in a car at a hotel in Beverly, MA,… right down the road from the mansion in Manchester where Ghislaine’s supposedly been lying low for much of the last couple years.
HELLO??? Is there anybody out there? HOW is it possible *our* media has paid ZERO attention to any of this insanity for all of these days?? It’s just amazing.
I’m guessing that NOW, they will finally have no choice. In the next day or two, I imagine this story will finally blow up like it should.
What the hell is going on here? It appears that the Post is most likely *completely complicit* in helping Maxwell enact an amazing scam to cover up her real whereabouts. (If they’re not, they’re just incredibly stupid and incompetent,… and honestly, it’s awfully hard to believe they could be quite that dumb.)
Are the Murdochs directly involved in trying to help her escape the law? One of the hugely-influential (and incredibly-evil) people she’s supposedly got ties to is Rupert’s monstrous ex-wife Wendi Deng (and through her, of course, to Jared and Ivanka, among other world-class cretins).
Would that be that hard to believe?
And why the hell hasn’t she (Ghislaine) been f***ing arrested yet, anyway? (Or at least hauled in for one hell of a lot of questioning.)
Is she actually still in Manchester, hiding away in her boyfriend’s house, and having him and lots of others lie for her?
Is there anybody staking out the house, or going in with a search-warrant, to find out?
This story had better blow up gigantically in the very near future, or it’ll simply give us one more indication that the ‘Justice system’ in this country has devolved into an even bigger hopeless sewer than it already appears.
I welcome any comments or insights. (Hopefully better than the petty drivel DK comment-threads usually provide.)
