I’m going to take a little break from exposing the fact that the British Cabal, who work out of the City of London, control literally every aspect of the Deep State and their plan to control the world.
I’m not going to focus on connecting Bill Barr to the Deep State or the British Cabal, and I’m not stating he is a “good guy,” a “bad guy” or simply someone who has been caught up in the middle. I am going to present some facts, which, when presented together, seem rather odd. The reader can come to their own conclusions. There are many possibilities, we live in a 5th-Generation Warfare world, and I am aware things may not be as they appear.
Again, I’m presenting facts and timeframes; some things may be coincidences, some things may not. Some things may be intentional ‘smoke and mirrors’ by the ‘white hats.’ This is the thing about 5GW; we can never know for sure.
There are a lot of people who have a lot of different opinions on Bill Barr. Some say he’s a “black hat”, some say he’s a “white hat”, while others believe he is a “grey hat”. (Once bad, now doing good … made a deal). Some say he hates Trump; others say it’s just Kayfabe (wrestling term for fake animosity).
I honestly don’t know what to believe. I don’t think he was ever a true “white hat”, but I can’t say what role he played in the Trump Administration.
Was Trump talked into hiring him as his Attorney General by the Neocons, and Barr sabotaged things every step of the way while in Trump’s Cabinet? Did Trump hire Barr because he knew Barr would attempt to sabotage things and eventually turn on him, and Barr unintentionally allowed Trump to set traps for the Deep State players everywhere? Did Barr decide he wanted to atone for past sins and was willing to look like a heel to MAGA in order to push forward Trump’s agenda.
I honestly don’t know for sure. What I do know is the animosity between Trump and Barr is either real, or it’s fake, and I don’t think anyone can say with certainty which it is.
I am going to talk about some things I’ve learned about Bill Barr and allow the reader to decide what to think, and even then, I don’t think complete clarity will occur.
Let’s start with something that will likely make a few people sit up a little taller more in their chairs.
On November 10th, 1989, Republican lobbyist Craig Spense committed suicide after accusations of being involved in an underage boy sex-trafficking and prostitution operation that included bringing boys into the Bush Sr. White House late at night for “unofficial tours”. On August 10th, 2019, underage child sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was said to commit suicide. They died 30 years and 3 months apart.
When Spense died, William (Bill) Barr held the position of US Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel—basically, a legal advisor to President Bush. When Epstein died, Barr held the position of US Attorney General under Donald Trump. (By the way, Bill Barr was in the CIA between 1971-1977, and George Bush served as the Director of the CIA in 1976.)
After Epstein’s death, Attorney General William Barr said he initially had his own suspicions about Epstein’s death while behind bars at one of the most secure jails in America, but came to conclude that his suicide was the result of “a perfect storm of screw-ups.” In other words, he didn’t think it was a “hit job.”
Bill Barr put DOJ Inspector General Michael E Horowitz in charge of a special investigation to look into the death of Jeffrey Epstein. On June 27th of 2023, almost four years later, Horowitz announced Epstein died by suicide.
I don’t think anyone reading this believes this to be the case, yet they both concluded it. What does this mean?
It’s easy to come to the conclusion that Barr and Horowitz are working to protect people involved in a pedophile ring. It requires more of a reach to conclude that they are helping to set traps, and they need the public and the Cabal elite to believe they believe Epstein died by suicide. No one knows the answer except the people directly involved. Honestly, I don’t even know if Epstein is really dead. I didn’t personally witness him die or examine his body afterward. Maybe someone reading this has personally examined the corpse, but I haven’t, and therefore leave all possibilities open.
Before anyone starts to think I’m going to suggest Trump is involved in covering up for child sex traffickers and their clients, let me emphatically say, I don’t believe that Trump is involved in any way in protecting these people. So what does this mean?
I don’t think Barr and Horowitz are dumb enough to believe Epstein decided he didn’t want to live anymore and killed himself, yet they both officially deemed his death a suicide. This means either Trump was duped by Barr and Horowitz, or Barr and Horowitz are willingly or unwillingly pushing forth Trump’s agenda. This agenda could be to make the pedophile elites feel they are safe, for now.
Trump-hating journalist Michael Wolff claims Jeffrey Epstein told him Bill Barr was “the man in charge” during Trump’s time in office. He claims Epstein told him Trump let’s someone else be in charge until other people start to realize they are in charge. When this happens, they are no longer in charge. It appears by what Epstein allegedly told Wolff, that Epstein was feeling pretty comfortable believing Barr was in charge.
Why would Epstein feel comfortable believing Barr was in charge? Was it because of his time in Bush Sr.’s White House?
While seeming to be comfortable, Epstein was arrested, and possibly murdered while Barr was in charge. One might consider this as resulting from Epstein’s false sense of security. Was Barr brought in by Trump to willingly or unwillingly give people like Epstein a false sense of security? It has to at least be considered a possibility.
Donald Barr
Bill’s father Donald was in the OSS during WWII. The OSS, as many know was the precursor to the CIA, which both Bill Barr and George Bush were a big part of in the 1970’s.
From 1964-1974, Donald Barr served as the Headmaster at Dalton, a school for elites in New York. In the Spring of 1974, a young Jeffrey Epstein was hired to teach at this prestigious school in the Fall. It was controversial because Epstein didn’t have a college degree. There is no way to verify whether or not Donald Barr played a role in hiring Epstein. Donald Barr left his position at Dalton shortly after Epstein was hired, but before Epstein started working at Dalton in the Fall of 1974.
Donald Barr was also a fiction writer.
In 1973, he wrote a book called Space Relations, a science fiction book about a planet ruled by oligarchs who engage in sex slavery. I wish I had a record-scratching sound effect to play right now. Are you kidding me? The guy involved with the school that hired the world’s most notorious underage sex-trafficker to teach at an elitist school, even though he didn’t have a degree, wrote a science fiction book about a planet run by rich, elitist sex traffickers?
Could things get any stranger?
While teaching at Dalton, Jeffrey Epstein was accused of having inappropriate relations with students, but apparently, this wasn’t uncommon between teachers and students at this school. Before moving on, let me state that Epstein’s connections to the Royal Family went back as early as 1971. It appears this unqualified man found himself time and time again being hired for positions he shouldn’t otherwise get shortly after. I now find it impossible to not connect the British Cabal to every aspect of the Deep State, even when I’m not trying to.
After leaving Dalton, Epstein went to work for Allan Greenburgh at investment firm Bear Stearns. Epstein specialized in helping clients avoid paying taxes. Epstein left Bear Stearns when the SEC was investigating his client, the Bronfmans for tax-evasion.
You know the Bronfmans—the family involved in the NXIVM sex cult, the family John McCain married into that “apparently” made their fortune through Seagrams. That’s the family Epstein was working with.
What are the odds Epstein is connected to yet more elite sex-traffickers?
Before I forget, remember the picture of Epstein and Maxwell taken at the Royal Family’s cabin? (Sorry, I can’t control myself. Let’s stick to Barr.)
William (Bill) Barr
Let’s take a look at Bill Barr’s past.
As I mentioned, he was in the CIA between 1971-1977 and George Bush Sr. was the director of the CIA in 1976. Barr’s father was OSS, the predecessor to the CIA. While Bush wasn’t “officially” a part of the CIA until he became Director, this isn’t to say Bush wasn’t involved with the CIA much earlier. Many believe he orchestrated the JFK Assassination for the CIA, and some believe he was instrumental in getting Nixon removed from office through Watergate. In both cases, it appears JFK and Nixon were both looking into reducing the CIA’s power that had gotten out of control and needed to be reeled back in, if not completely eliminated.
Bill Barr graduated from Columbia University in 1971 and immediately started to work for the CIA. I’m not sure how common this is to go to work for the CIA right out of college. While working for the CIA, Barr got his master's degree in government and Chinese Studies.
He also graduated from law school while working for the CIA. Apparently CIA employees have a lot of extra time on their hands, enough to get their master’s and law degree on the side. We are to believe while at the CIA for six years, Barr got his master’s degree AND graduated from law school, then when he was done with law school, he just decided to move on, to no longer work for the CIA. Seems odd, to say the least.
After graduating from law school in 1977, Barr spent one year as a law clerk before joining the law firm known today as Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman. He worked at Pillsbury from 1978 to 1982, then worked for Reagan for about 17 months as a legal assistant, then went back to Pillsbury from 1983 to 1989.
The Pillsbury law firm focused on representing clients in the fields of energy, financial services, real estate and technology industries. An interesting client of Pillsbury was Israeli spyware firm NSO Group. Pillsbury advised them on "business development opportunities and strategies to educate potential business and government partners about NSO’s state-of-the-art technologies, including legal advice on U.S. government procurement regulations and corporate compliance policies." This Israeli spyware firm has been implicated in several high-profile scandals involving it's Pegasus software being deployed on journalists, activists, world leaders, and dissidents around the world.
(For those who don’t know, Pegasus is a big deal. Look into it; your smart phone may have Pegasus secretly installed on it now, which allows people to listen in to everything you say or do.)
Bill Barr went on to work in Bush’s White House in 1989. Between 1989 and 1993, (leaving when the Clinton’s came into power), Barr held three positions under Bush.
He started off as the US Assistant Attorney General for the office of Legal Counsel (giving the POTUS legal advice). Then he went on to become the US Deputy Attorney General and finally the US Attorney General. During Barr’s time within the Bush presidency, a major child sex-trafficking scandal occurred and went relatively unnoticed by the general public and unprosecuted by the government agencies.
The scandal was known as the Franklin Scandal.
Four or five years ago, I read a book about it written by former Republican Nebraska State Senator John Decamp called The Franklin Coverup. While this book is tremendously insightful, the details of abuse of children is hard to shake off. I lost many nights of sleep from reading this book. It gives first-hand accounts of evils you would assume humans are incapable of. Therefore, I warn anyone who might consider reading the book or looking deeply into the scandal.
I’m going to give a synopsis of the scandal that hopefully allows the reader to be properly angry without having to go to that dark place. People who have read it know what I’m talking about.
As for the scandal, it involved Larry King Jr.—a young, Black rising star in the Republican Party. He ran Nebraska’s Franklin Community Federal Credit Union. He was known for living an excessive lifestyle and throwing lavish parties, all while taking a very modest income. In November of 1988, federal agencies raided the credit union because $40mm was missing. The investigation led to a horrifying discovery: King and others appeared to be running a child sex-trafficking operation and it seemed to reach as far as the White House. This trafficking operation also involved the Satanic ritual murder of children.
This is as graphic as I will get. Children were taken from the Nebraska orphanage Boy’s Town while others were kidnapped off the street. Some children survived with major psychological damage, others later killed themselves, while some were killed in the rituals. (Side note, Charles Manson, likely a CIA asset, spent time in this Boy’s Town orphanage.)
The chief investigator of the scandal was named Gary Caradori; both he and his young son died in a small plane crash after attending a Cub’s game in Chicago and after Gary interviewed witnesses to the abuse. His briefcase aboard the plane with all the records of the testimonies and details of the investigation was never recovered. The FBI, as well as local and national media covered up the scandal. The children that came forward as witnesses had their lives ruined, loved ones mysteriously died, and anyone who wouldn’t recant their testimonies found themselves in prison with incredibly long sentences for libel.
Republican lobbyist Craig Spence made it onto the front page of newspapers on June 29th, 1989. He was identified as a major customer of a homosexual escort service, which had been raided in February of that year. The ring was operated by a man named Henry Vison, who used a funeral parlor to launder the money. Besides Spence, clients of the escort service included other “key officials” in the White House. Spence was also linked to a White House guard named Reginald DeGueldre. DeGueldre regularly took Spence and his “friends” on late-night tours of the White House. Spence’s friends included young male prostitutes.
As well as writing a book on the matter, Nebraska Senator John Decamp was involved in the production of a documentary on the scandal. It was set to air on The Discovery Channel on May 3rd, 1994. Last minute, it is said that the rights to the documentary were purchased by an unknown entity, who ordered all copies of the documentary to be destroyed. The documentary, which included many firsthand witnesses and victims of the abuse never saw the light of day.
Through the “strong arming” and murdering of witnesses, victims and investigators, as well as controlling the media, the powers that be were able to keep this major scandal from reaching the general public and tarnishing the Bush White House. This shouldn’t be surprising when you remember George Bush was the director of the CIA in 1976 and was also able to keep it a secret that his family was closely connected to the man who tried to assassinate Reagan in 1981.
Most people don’t know the Bushes and the Hinkleys were neighbors in Texas and shared a lawyer. The Hinkleys were major contributors to Bush political campaigns. Bush was VP at the time of the assassination attempt and would have become POTUS if Reagan had not recovered. Let’s not forget as well, the Bushes and the bin Ladens were tight. Osama’s niece Noor bin Ladin (spells her name slightly different) is actually a Trump-supporting patriot. She knows all about the Deep State and their attempt to pin 9-11 on the bin Laden family. Honestly, everything you think you know about history is a lie.
Nothing I’ve said proves or even necessarily insinuates that Bill Barr was involved in protecting the child trafficking that seems to have involved many “higher ups” in DC and the Bush White House. Nothing I’ve said proves Barr was involved in the protection of child trafficking while Trump was in office, either. It just seems odd that during Barr’s two stints in DC there were two major child trafficking operations that seem to be protected.
We still don’t know who Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s clients are.
Another thing that is interesting and I’m not really sure what to do with is the fact that both Alex Acosta and Bill Barr served in Trump’s cabinet. Acosta was the US Attorney in Miami when Epstein received his extremely lenient plea deal in 2008. According to a source in a Daily Beast article, Acosta informed the Trump presidential transition team that he offered a lenient plea deal because he was told that Epstein "belonged to intelligence", was "above his pay grade," and to "leave it alone".
I don’t believe Trump protected child traffickers, but it’s odd that Trump hired the guy who gave Epstein his lenient plea deal, and he hired a guy who was in the Bush White House during the Franklin Scandal coverup. If Trump wasn’t protecting child traffickers, then something else was going on.
As many know, Trump was the only one who would speak with the prosecution team about Epstein when Epstein was first indicted years ago. Every other CEO, politician or person of influence chose to pass. Both Epstein and Maxwell as well as many other high-profile and low-profile sex traffickers were arrested on Trump’s watch.
During Trump’s Administration, sex traffickers and operations were being shut down at record levels. And more than anything, the Satanic Cabal, the people involved in trafficking, hate Trump and have used all means available to them to remove and keep Trump from power. It’s obvious to me that Trump is not involved in sex trafficking or the protecting of these traffickers and clients.
But what about Bill Barr?
He and his dad both basically worked for the CIA. His dad wrote a science fiction book about sex trafficking elites, and his dad was the headmaster at the school that hired an unqualified Epstein to teach at his school. Barr worked in the Bush White House and Epstein seemed to be comfortable with the idea that Barr was running things in Trump’s White House. Barr also concluded that Epstein killed himself.
Eliminating the idea that Trump was protecting sex traffickers while POTUS, I believe there are two conclusions that I’m comfortable with, and I don’t know which is correct:
One, Barr wittingly worked with Trump to take down sex traffickers and trafficking operations by giving these people a false sense of security, a false sense that Barr controlled the White House and would work to protect the traffickers and clients.
Or two, Barr unwittingly worked with Trump. Trump knew Barr would try to protect the traffickers and clients and Trump used this to catch them all. The animosity between Trump and Barr is either real or it’s not. I have no way to know either way.
It appears Epstein assumed his blackmail, trafficking operation was going to be “business as usual” once Barr was hired as Trump’s Attorney General. This doesn’t mean Barr gave him assurance of this; it could have been assumed due to Barr’s involvement with the George Bush Administration. But six months later Epstein appears to have died, and 17 months later his accomplice, Maxwell was arrested. Was this a matter of the cockroaches feeling safe to come out from the walls, and that’s when they were stomped on?
It’s entirely possible Barr was left in the dark when it comes to Trumps plans. But why so much animosity towards Trump, or the appearance of it? If Barr truly despises Trump, it’s because Trump used him, and Barr intended to sabotage Trump’s plans. If the animosity is fake, then it probably means Barr has been fully on board with Trump’s plans. The least likely scenario is that Barr was just some guy caught up in the middle of everything. If this was the case, I can’t imagine he would despise or appear to despise Trump so much.
Again, I am not saying Barr protected pedophile elites, but Trump hiring him to be his Attorney General is the equivalent of hiring a mob lawyer. It doesn’t mean he was hired to do anything shady, but to outsiders, it looks like you are hiring him because you think he is willing to do shady things.
George Bush was as Deep State as they come. Anyone closely associated with George Bush has to be viewed at least as someone who is willing to look the other way. Hiring Barr to be Trump’s Attorney General—the guy in charge of deciding who the Federal Government goes after—is likely a genius move by Trump. It gives the appearance that Trump is all talk and not really looking to go after the Deep State.
In my opinion, when Trump became POTUS, the Deep State criminals likely took cover. Trump needed them to come out of hiding in order to go after them. This is why hiring Barr was so genius. The Deep State Cabal likely thought, ‘oh, Trump isn’t really going to go after us, he hired Bush’s guy.’ Under this assumption, these Cabal creatures crawled out of their holes and became vulnerable.
A good sports analogy for this would be for Major League Baseball to say they are going to get steroids out of baseball, if you are caught, you will be banned from the league, but then quietly letting the players know they aren’t really going to test for steroids.
The hiring of Barr could have come across to the Deep State as Trump talking big to MAGA, with no real intention to make change. It’s like Trump said he wasn’t going to do drug testing, but as soon as the players were back on the “juice”, testers showed up at their doors with pee cups.
Whether or not Barr is a good guy, or a bad guy or just a guy, it doesn’t really matter in the broader scheme of things. What matters is he was used, in my opinion, to get these depraved criminals to come out of their holes.
At some point, we will know if Barr was used willingly or unwillingly, but what is known to me is the Deep State Cabal members have been set up. They thought they were going to get away with their crimes. They thought they could continue to commit their crimes.
What was it Q said?

This is what Investigative Reporters do - follow the trail of incidents, connect the players and their histories, add a pinch of cui bono, and posit a theory. In a murder trial, we don't get to see the act being committed...still we have to render a verdict based on the strength of what supports the theory. You have done great work in researching this fascinating subject, and have given us some incredibly useful info. Thank you!
Very interesting read Erik, thanks for all your research. I did not have that detailed picture of Bill Barr's connection to Bush, the CIA. and Child Sex Trafficking cases. All this really makes you think... I can't wait for the finish of this movie cause it's really getting good!
Keep it coming.
God Wins!
God Bless!!!
