A lot of guys that age still will obey every instruction from a figure similar to a gym teacher or coach. They are easily brain-washed. Americans tend to recognize that in the Middle East, it's old men instructing young men on what violence they should do. In lands where there are a certain level of tension, it is relatively easy to brain-wash young guys. Militaries and law enforcement are examples when tensions rise.

Today, in this country, we also have private intelligence groups working for corporations. We have militias. These groups tend to have older, more experienced men in them. They can be viewed as exciting gym coaches, the type that can convince a young man that he is special and has the opportunity to be a hero to his people.

I've had friends ask me if I thought the felon was behind this? I said that there are a number of old men, in this country and others, who do not want the Epstein files released. They want a big distraction, no matter how many "little people" end up getting hurt as a result. People who would gladly destabilize our society and trash the Constitution.

I think we will learn more, but not from this administration.
