THE CLINTONS, THE EPSTEIN AND EPSTEIN'S FRIENDS LIKE THE DERSH, EHUD BARAK AND NO KIDDING KEN STARR
(SPECIAL COMMENT AND ANALYSIS)
With Bill and Hillary Clinton giving their depositions to the US House Government Oversight Committee over Clinton ties to Jeffrey Epstein a man known as a 'financier' I am certainly reminded of those "Clinton Years" of the 1990's.
Those years punctuated by financial questions about the Clinton's from the 'cattle futures' windfall for Hillary to the Whitewater project questions surrounding them and those infamous Rose Law Firm billing records.
But in the end it was all for nought as a probe of the Clinton's centered on financial wrongdoing descended into the pit of Bill Clinton's illicit sexual relationships and his deceptive spin culminating in the affair with Monica Lewinsky.
Probably my first question for the Clintons would concern the post-impeachment enrichment of Monica Lewinsky do they know how she got that rich was Jeffrey Epstein the 'financier' involved in enriching Lewinsky?
What about the impeachment and the report of the "Special Prosecutor-Special Counsel" Ken Starr that dovetailed with the impeachment.
In the end Mr. Starr would be friendly to Epstein just like the Clintons, very friendly to Jeffrey Epstein doing legal work for his sweetheart pedo plea deal but going further to say about Epstein:
"He's a prince"
And in an email to Epstein Starr went so far as to say:
"As you know I believed in you (still do) and your cause. Come see me"
"Jeffrey Epstein visited Ken Starr..."-Baylor Lariat News Story
Getting the financial case against Bill and Hillary Clinton sidetracked to a sex case against Bill Clinton came out of leaks from individuals like Linda Tripp inside the White House, intermediary Lucianne Goldberg and the online journalist Matt Drudge??? Something for inquiring minds out there.
But back into the Clintons one of the staunchest defenders of Bill Clinton in the 1990's arena in connection with the scandals and the impeachment Jeffrey Epstein's pal, lawyer Alan Dershowitz.
Dersh would reprise his role to defend Donald Trump when Trump faced impeachment decades later.
Dershowitz has repeatedly threatened lawsuits when the subject of Jeffrey Epstein and his connection comes up a very sad performance indeed.
According to Les Wexner and Howard Lutnick among others, Epstein was a 'con-man'. That's just as criminal as a pedophile but is Mr. Dershowitz getting any of this does he give a rip or...
It cannot be denied that Dershowitz is a passionate staunch defender of Israel in the big-league elite in that category.
Let's go to Ehud Barak. Barak backed for Israeli Prime Minister in 1999 successfully elected with Clinton political gurus Paul Begala and James Carville assisting...
"James Carville couldn't take his eyes off his client's small pudgy hands..."-From CNN Story "Gruff and very tough" Regarding Ehud Barak in 1999
"I just kept wondering how many people he'd killed"
CLINTON POLITICAL GURU JAMES CARVILLE ON EPSTEIN FRIEND FORMER ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER EHUD BARAK
There are accusations out there linking Barak to violent sexual abuse but they are not substantiated. No one inside Israel seems to care at this point. Barak an opponent of current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vocal and virtually subversive. Netanyahu claiming that proves Epstein didn't work for Israel.
Barak's Epstein connections extensive he stayed at an Epstein property in New York with security equipment installed by the Israeli government.
He and Epstein dealt with serious matters like Syria's Civil War Epstein helping Barak craft a message to support US bombing of Syria based on allegations of chemical weapons use by government forces against jihadist opponents during its civil war.
President Donald Trump would end up bombing Syria twice in 2017 and 2018 over alleged use of chemical weapons.
Will the members of the House committee particularly the Republicans wade into these matters ask tough questions consider these Epstein ties in their lines of questioning of the Clintons?

Where do we go from here your host grew up with preachers on the radio so I heard about Jesus but many of those preachers mixed in the social commentary the politics if you will.
Reverend John Dekker one such host who had an appreciation of the gospel it figured more prominently at times even more than politics in his broadcasts.
Reverend Dekker was on the radio in the 1970's when I first prayed to receive Jesus into my life. I worked in religious broadcasting some of my life and at times encountered a very joyous John Dekker in those circumstances.
He was born in Holland this month back in 1932 on February 14th he passed on December 27, 2012...Reverend John A. Dekker Obituary
So in the tradition of Reverend John Dekker there will be something of the Gospel and something of the contentious issues of our times in this week's post.
Back in the 1970's I studied German in high school and read German magazines in class like "Bunte" in those magazines the schedules for German and Austrian television channels.

"How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?"
That big hit song in Europe back in 1978 only reached Number 30 on the chart here in the USA but the lyrics are straight out of Psalm 137 of the Bible.
"Shout for joy in the Lord, O you righteous! Praise befits the upright.
Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre; make melody to him with the harp of ten strings!
Sing to him a new song; play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.
For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his work is done in faithfulness.
He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.
By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host.
He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap; he puts the deeps in storehouses.
Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him!
For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.
The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; he frustrates the plans of the peoples.
The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!
The Lord looks down from heaven: he sees all the children of man;
From where he sits enthroned he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
he who fashions the hearts of them all and observes all their deeds.
The king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
The war horse is a false hope for salvation, and by its great might it cannot rescue.
Behold the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love,
that he may deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine.
Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.
For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name.
Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you."
