~~~~~~~~~ The revelations on the Epstein files this week, was that Trump “allegedly” witnessed the murder (does this make him an accomplice?) of a baby on board a yacht in Lake Michigan, begs the question, “How much worse is this going to get?” ~~~~~~~~~
I watched a lot of Gilligan’s Island growing up. It was part of the after school line up on Channel 2 KWGN, in Denver, CO.
Since I was the “pick on” kid in elementary school, I couldn’t wait to get home and turn on the Channel 2 line up, to numb myself and decompress from all the misery I felt at school. So my afternoons, when I wasn’t at ballet class, were filled at various times with, Hogan’s Heroes, The Jetsons, The Flying Nun, Batman, The Aadam’s Family, The Flintstones, The Munsters, Blinkey’s Fun Club, Star Trek (TOS) to name a few . . .
In one episode of Gilligan’s Island a man, who is a hunter, lands on the island. He wants to hunt, but there isn’t any game on the island. So he decides he will use the fact that these people are lost on a deserted island, and presumed dead, against them.
In
Gilligan's Island's "The Hunter,"
a big-game hunter, Jonathan Kincaid, and his servant arrive seeking new prey, decide to hunt Gilligan as the ultimate challenge, giving him 24 hours to escape before rescuing the others, leading to a tense chase where Gilligan's cunning (and the other castaways' interference) helps him survive, though Kincaid's promised rescue never materializes. The dark episode features Kincaid choosing Gilligan over others, the castaways trying to thwart the hunter, and a climactic, near-miss finale where Gilligan hides in a tree, outsmarting Kincaid just as time runs out.

It is this exchange, perhaps, that engraved itself forever in my brain:
Kincaid: Seven people on this island, and no one knows they’re here. That’s very interesting. Ramoo, we’re going hunting
.
Ramoo: What? You not hear? No game on island.
.
Kincaid: Perhaps not the four legged kind. But I’ve always wondered what it would be like to track down and kill the most challenging of all game, man.
I think it was then I began to understand, if even just a little bit, the concept of exploiting people’s desperation for personal/business/political gain.
.
It is why, by law, no one in this country can legally sell a functioning, ready for transplant, body organ to someone else. (
National Organ Transplant Act (NOTA) of 1984) The rich would exploit the poor, and in a sense “strip them for parts.”
We’ve seen this exploitation in other countries.
.
Then a few years ago I saw this picture and a cold shiver ran down my spine. “What if this big game isn’t enough for them?”
They’ve got money. What’s to say that they haven’t killed some poor desperate person and paid out to their surviving family members. Or not — what are they going to do about it if the promised payment doesn’t come through? What CAN they do about it?
The answer to both is “nada.”
I have always said that I don’t believe all those trafficked to/on Epstein's Island made it back to the main island or to the main land.
Now a baby’s murder on Lake Michigan??
How dark and dank are the Epstein files? Are the revelations going to become case studies about the depths of human depravity?
Could they have been hunting human beings for sport?
What should we be preparing ourselves for?
And most importantly, will WE be able to hold them responsible and get justice for the victims?
If they can get away with this, then there is absolutely nothing they can’t get away with. — Mr. Global after reading more of the Epstein files.
