Gaslit Nation

Donald Trump is the hammer of the Christian nationalists that built America, and rely on forever wars to assert their dominance. In this special live Gaslit Nation taping, Andrea discusses the real story behind Trump/Kushner and Israel's war. The Trump/Kushner families get to grift, illegally enriching themselves, endangering our national security and very lives, while the Pentagon looks the other way.  At least the Washington, DC elite, along with Israel, finally get their war with Iran. 
As Andrea has long warned: World War III has already started. This week, Gaslit Nation provides the stories behind the stories, mapping out where this is all headed, and most importantly, what we can do to resist and build a better world.
This week's bonus episode will be the Q&A portion of our live-taping, featuring questions from our audience.

Thank you to everyone who supports our independent journalism during these turbulent times.

Apologies! Due to the blizzard, school closure, jury duty all in one week, the wrong file was published. Here is the correct one. Enjoy and see you at the salon on Monday.
The ruling elite–from billionaires like Les Wexner to politicians who shared the "Lolita Express"–all knew. They claim to have been manipulated by serial pedophiles Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. They were complicit in a transnational crime syndicate that used human trafficking as a currency of power.
What we can do now:
Demand State Action: Call your Attorney General. Alex Acosta's slap-on-the-wrist federal deal is a sham–it was a cover-up. Demand that state-level cases be brought in New Mexico, Florida, New York, and Ohio–everywhere crimes were committed against over a thousand victims. 

Subpoena the Money: We need a total forensic audit of Epstein's wire transfers worth over a billion dollars.

End the "Great Disillusionment": Our institutions failed because they were captured. We must be the light that shines into their darkness.

History will remember those who stood up. It is our turn to be relentless, like those who came before us, until every co-conspirator is behind bars.

We are up against a transnational mafia, as Gaslit Nation has long warned, and the Epstein files expose it, despite the ongoing cover-up. This week, investigative journalist Dave Troy joins the show to connect the dots between Epstein, the Kremlin, and far-right operatives who have spent decades dismantling our democracy, including the Florida 2000 recount that ensured George W. Bush came to power. (Bush's administration gave Epstein an illegal "sweetheart deal," allowing him and Maxwell to continue their crime network, trafficking children to the ruling elite).
"The U.S. government has been infiltrated by these networks for decades," Troy says. Epstein was not a lone wolf. He was deeply embedded in a transnational crime syndicate with ties extending to Russian intelligence and powerful oligarchs who are still trying to create a lawless "network state" where they can operate above the law. 
We also discuss the dangerous complacency of assuming our institutions will protect us, especially when the very people tasked with upholding the law, from the DOJ to high-profile attorneys, protect the shadow network. Their goal is to demoralize us with complexity. By tracing their connections, we can understand their playbook and fight back.
