Hello, wonderful people. Great to have you with me.

Before I launch into my monologue for the day, let me tell you how to support the channel.

All you have to do is go to patreon.com, find me by name and sign up.

It costs about the price of a cup of coffee once a month.

But in return for your support, you become a member of the family. You get exclusive access to a question

and answer session that we film every week. Early access to all my content. There's competitions

from time to time. We've got one on the go at the moment. Anyway, stuff on the site to get your teeth

into it. And I'd love to see you there. The more than merrier. The links in the notes down here.

And it's on my website, nealover.com.

Okay, let's see what the trouble is this week.

What, if anything, must be the consequence or consequences of how transparent are the behaviours of the powers that ought not to be, that ought never to have been?

I don't have to go so far as to accept at face value the contents of news stories freely available this week with headlines like Jeffrey Epstein's brother says

the Bubba mentioned in Trump oral sex email is not Bill Clinton.

But what the hell? It's out there.

That headline quoted above part of coverage of a 2018 exchange between the Epstein

siblings released by the House Oversight Committee. Let's us read how Mark asked and maybe

only joked with brother Jeffrey, who had written about being with then Trump advisor, Steve Bannon, quote,

ask him if Putin has the photos of Trump blowing Bubba.

What on earth can he mean?

Bill's nickname was Bubba, you see.

So, arguably, assuming the Bubba in question is the former president is an easy mistake to make.

I don't bother even to wonder why this is out there now.
