Where's Ray Epps Today? Where's The Epstein Client List Today?

4/24/2023. A former Trump supporter who participated in J6 is now the target of a far-right conspiracy theory. Bill Whitaker reports. 60 Minutes.

The blogger -FJ aka Minus recently asked, "Where's Ray Epps today?"

Why did he ask this? I don't know. But I very seriously doubt the reason is that he no longer believes Ray was a federal agent that infiltrated the J6 "protests" and encouraged "protestors" to enter the Capitol.

Imagine, if it wasn't for "federal agent" Ray Epps (and other federal agents in the crowd), the trashing of the Capitol by the J6 insurrectionists never would have happened. It was a case of entrapment. Yet another reason king donald's use of his kingly power of pardoning (no matter the crime) was totally justified.

He needed to free the patriots unjustly persecuted by the Biden Administration.

Among those who were persecuted? It turns out that Ray Epps was innocent of the allegations against him. Or that is what Turd-2 obviously decided, given that, "on January 20, 2025, the first day of the second presidency of Donald Trump, Epps was pardoned along with more than 1,500 others who received pardons or commutations regarding the events of January 6th".

Super convincing evidence that Turd-2 considered Ray Epps a "January 6 patriot" and NOT a "federal agent and egged on the violence to paint supporters of former President Trump in a negative light". king donald could have been excluded Ray from the pardon, but did not.

Copilot... 🧠If Ray Epps were a federal agent, as the conspiracy theory claims, then: He would have been acting on behalf of the government, not as a rogue protester. The Trump administration -- especially in its second term -- would likely have had access to intelligence or internal reports confirming that status. If Trump believed Epps was a government provocateur who helped entrap his supporters, excluding him from the mass pardon would’ve been a symbolic and strategic move. But instead, Epps was included in the blanket clemency issued on January 20, 2025, which covered nearly 1,600 individuals involved in the January 6 events. That clemency was framed as a gesture of “national reconciliation,” and while most received full pardons, a few high-profile figures had their sentences commuted1. 📜What does this imply? It strongly suggests that Trump did not believe Epps was a federal agent, or at least didn’t have credible evidence to support that theory. The Justice Department itself has stated unequivocally that Epps was not a federal agent or informant, and had no ties to law enforcement beyond his service in the Marines decades ago. Epps was charged, pleaded guilty, and sentenced to probation for disorderly conduct -- not protected or shielded by any government entity3. So yes, your logic holds: if Trump truly believed Epps was a federal provocateur, it would’ve been politically advantageous to exclude him from the pardon. The fact that he wasn’t excluded undermines the conspiracy theory and supports the conclusion that Epps was simply another misguided participant -- albeit one who became a lightning rod for misinformation.🛑

What does this prove? That many trumper tinfoil hat conspiracy theories are very dumb and easily disproved. At least in this case. And many more. Like the conspiracy theory that said Turd-2 would release the Epstein client list and that Democrats would be implicated and go to prison. But now there is no client list at all. It never existed at all.

What does this mean? I say it means that the client list, which Pam said was on her desk, implicates donald trump. Could there be names of Democrats on the list? Possibly. But it is for certain that the name "Donald John Trump" is on the list. Otherwise it would still exist and be released.

Think I'm wrong? Then what's your theory? Or, what I'd really like to know is what is the theory of donald trump supporters who continue to think their hero is awesome and definitely not on the client list. While every single Democrat they hate is for sure on the list.

Yet, for some secret reason, Pam, Kash and Dan are all saying the client list doesn't exist. Why would they do this? According to a trump supporter who is a complete idiot, Pam, Kash and Dan are still on the case and will be taking down many prominent Democrats soon.🙄

4/12/2025. The Cats Outta The Bag. The United Spot.

7/13/2025. Donald Trump drains the swamp in a 1930s musical spectacular. Mr. Newberger's AI Funnies.

As per Minus, Mr. Newberger is a simp. As opposed to someone using humor to reveal the truth. Which is that there is a coverup and it has been approved by trump and carried out by his minions.

Minus FJ's Tinfoil Hat Is Insanely Stylish

"Why would the government be so concerned with banning gas vehicles and gas stoves and changing everything to electric?"...

This is a meme the far right bl0gger Minus FJ linked to in a recent comment on his bl0g. The comment says that he wants the United States to abandon electric vehicles.

His fear (as per the meme) is the US government's plan to get Americans bigly dependent on electricity. So they can use the power grid as a way to control The People. "Do what we want or we will turn off the power". Power outages cause great economic damage. Power outages result in people dying.

Is this what happened in Texas in February of 2021? The "official" story is that the power outage in Texas was caused by inclement weather. rightturds placed the blame on green energy. The main culprit (in their delusions) was frozen wind turbines.

But what if placing the blame on "three severe winter storms sweeping across the United States on February 10–11" was a convenient excuse? One those in charge used to test run their ability to "turn off" the power and cause mass suffering among the citizens of Texas?

The g00gle AI Overview says "The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) ordered power cuts to millions of customers to maintain grid stability". There you go... they did it on purpose. They admit it! The excuse being that they didn't want the power grid to fail, which would have been a bigger disaster. So they had no choice.

Yet, they DID do it on purpose. Were the power cuts to millions of customers during extremely cold weather really necessary to "maintain grid stability"? That sounds plausible, but could also be a lie. When it comes time to implement the plan to cut power to maintain control of the citizens of Texas -- they now have the data concerning how such an action would play out.

An estimated 246 to 702 deaths can be attributed to the cold and the power outages. The cost of the power grid "failing" is estimated to have been around $195 billion. The next time the power is turned off it could be much worse. With this threat being held over their heads The People will certainly comply with whatever orders the government issues.

If I was a tinfoil-hat-wearing lunatic, I absolutely might believe that. As opposed to blaming incompetence. "While some state officials initially blamed frozen wind turbines and solar panels, data showed that the primary cause was the failure to winterize power sources, principally natural gas infrastructure. The drop in power production from natural gas was more than five times greater than that from wind turbines" (response from the Perplexity AI).

But the tinfoil-hat-wearing Minus FJ goes with the "blame green energy" conspiracy theory. Of course. He says (regarding the people who died in Texas) "those deaths were caused by the luxury value of green energy being imposed by elites upon Texans".

That's false. Texas politicans libertarin approach to Texas power grid infrastructure caused the crisis (see debunk below). That the crisis can be attributed to the "luxury value" of Green Energy is complete bullpucky.

Debunked! The Green Energy "luxury value" (imposed on the citizens of Texas by elites) did not cause the deaths of Texans during the 2021 Texas power grid crisis. Perplexity: ...there were warnings before the 2021 Texas power crisis that were largely ignored by the Texas legislature and regulators. Here are the key points... 1. Warnings from 2011: After a similar winter storm in 2011, a report by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation warned that more "winterizing" of power infrastructure was necessary. The report stated that more thorough preparation for cold weather could have prevented the outages in 2011. 2. Lack of follow-up: Ed Hirs, an energy fellow and economics professor at the University of Houston, stated: "This should have been addressed in 2011 by the Legislature after that market meltdown, but there was no substantial follow up". The state politicians and regulators essentially continued with "business as usual". 3. Voluntary guidelines: Dan Woodfin, a senior director at ERCOT, acknowledged that there was no requirement to prepare power infrastructure for extremely low temperatures. The winterization guidelines were voluntary, not mandatory. 4. Limited regulations: Texas' decision not to require equipment upgrades to better withstand extreme winter temperatures left the power system unprepared for the winter crisis. 5. Isolated Grid: Texas' choice to operate mostly isolated from other grids in the US also contributed to the system's vulnerability. 6. Insufficient improvements: While some generators implemented new winter practices after the 2011 freeze, and new voluntary "best practices" were adopted, these efforts were "not sufficient to keep these generators online" during the 2021 storm. In summary, the Texas power grid was not adequately prepared for extreme winter weather despite clear warnings from the 2011 incident. The legislature and regulators failed to mandate necessary winterization measures, instead relying on voluntary guidelines. This lack of mandatory preparation, combined with Texas' isolated grid system, left the state vulnerable to the severe winter storm in 2021.

IMO, what happened in Texas is that Texas's Libertarian approach to their power grid killed Texans. Though Perplexity says "while the Texas approach to its power grid does have some libertarian-leaning aspects, however, it would be an oversimplification to characterize it as purely libertarian or to directly attribute the 2021 power crisis solely to libertarian ideology". This, Perplexity says, is a more nuanced analysis.

I'm not buying it. I say it absolutely was libertarianism that cost upwards of 720 lives and 190 billion dollars. That, or Texas "turned off" the power on purpose as a dry run for when they'll do it again to control Texas citizens. I think that totally is something the psycho murdering Governor Greg Abbott would do.

btw, gas stoves and gas vehicles have not been banned. They will not be banned. Efforts will focus on phasing out gas-powered vehicles. While (eventually) the goal is to prohibit the manufacture of gas powered vehicles, any such nation-wide ban is far off in the future. And gas stoves have definitely not been banned.
