An historical perspective on the Epstein Files and the Russia Hoax

By -

It appears evident now that President Trump does not want the Epstein files released. This is the first time he has reneged on a campaign promise in his political career. Why would he do that? I think some reflection on history may give us some perspective on the Epstein files controversy. On October 10 1973 Vice President Spiro T Agnew resign his office after being indicted on bribery and corruption charges related to construction contracts he had been involved in while governor of Maryland. He later plead "nolo contendre" to charges of failing to report income on his taxes. This came at a particular bad time for then President Richard Nixon who was embroiled adverse publicity surrounding a break into the DNC headquarters in the Watergate building in Washington by some of his campaign operatives.

Kirk Cameron is a brother most of us can respect. He is a Christian television and film actor who has maintained his Christian integrity and testimony. He has been an effective evangelist and spokesperson for the gospel for nearly a generation. Recently on his podcast DANGEROUS CONVERSATION's  podcast he was interviewed by his son, James, who raised concerns about  the eternal destiny of the wicked. The younger Cameron proposed that many unbelievers are troubled by the notion of eternal conscious punishment , and that he thinks the doctrine of a eternal conscious punishment is an obstacle to evangelism.   Many unbeliever's and sceptics object to the idea of eternal torment. They question "why would a loving God send someone he created to hell?" James Cameron finds it difficult to answer someone who raises this objection to the gospel because eternal punishment seems tyrannical to him. His interview with his father focused on whether the common notion of hell, being ...
