The first two chapters were interesting. In those chapters, Whitney Webb reminded readers of how Meyer Lansky made a deal with the US government and enlisted organized crime figures to stop Nazi sabotage in NYC shipyards. She went on to say that, ever since, our government has been working hand-in-glove with mobsters to ship and distribute heroin around the world. She also wrote how many times Jeffrey Epstein brought women and girls to the Clinton White House.
After chapter two, the book was as interesting as reading a six-column bank ledger.
I can appreciate the fact that Webb has only been a journalist for six years and that she showed incredible chutzpa in pounding out this giant paperweight; but, unless you are the sort of person who gets excited at reading the names of banks repeated endlessly over 1,000 pages, this is not the book for you.
I pre-ordered this monstrosity. Fool me once, shame on you. I won't be fooled again.
Yes, the kind of review that is self-authenticating. You can just tell it rings true. (And the podcasts about the book have had a similar quality as Charles describes).
I am about 100 pages from end of v.2. Lots I did not know. Epstein was part of WEF and Trilateral Commission. Seeded “Young Global Leaders” group with some of his victims. Had a tiered hierarchy of girls and women, ranging from the ones Maxwell called “just trash “ to a neurosurgeon. I have a much deeper appreciation of just how monstrous these people are/were. I think the books are worth the nauseous read.
The heroin topic helps explain Afghanistan. Her interviews and this book serve to shine a light on power structures in the US and how they use sexual blackmail to control powerful people, and on Jeffery Epstein’s immense financial crimes.
I just read Whitney Webb's new 2 volume book, "One Nation Under Blackmail." Worth a read for sure.

I like no bullshit reviews like this. Thanks, Charles.
(And I like WW a lot!)
