One Nation Under Blackmail, Vol. 2: The Sordid Union between Intelligence and Organized Crime That Gave Rise to Jeffrey Epstein

Volume Two focuses much more on the main character of this story than Volume One. It also brings the reader into the present day, with the conceptual basis of corrupt and highly technological regimes staring at us from a not-so-distant future. Another feature of this volume is the innumerable leads presented for readers wanting to do more in-depth research. I also highly recommend this book for those looking for the inside story behind the main character and his close associates.

Read it recently. It is a detail rich, thick tome. Very detail rich. Then it dawned on me; like a lot of the so-called alternative media, it is designed to keep you on a long and winding road that keeps you distracted and never really results in any type of revolution. A lot of similar stories are pushed on you in the media, an Evil Mastermind, an orbit of young victims, political bad guys, all designed to keep your eyes on the sexy story, and off of the rape of your money and your civil rights. Miles W. Mathis does a good expose of how these events are tailor-made to keep you teased and engrossed with the latest revelations, strung out over a long period of time (show us the list! Ghislaine's booking photo! Jeffrey: suicide or murder!!) and then eventually fizzle out. But you have to hand it to Whitney and her team, they achieve their goal.

Whitney Webb is the best researcher ever

This book may change your life. You will never see the world the same way after reading Volume I and Volume II. I initially approached Whitney Webb's two volume set with skepticism, but these books will make you want to learn even more. Even though both volumes are very long, they were so compelling, I might actually read both of them a second time: In the latter sections of the work, Webb picks up threads she'd written about earlier, and it makes you want to go back and read the earlier material all over again -- it's THAT interesting. One particularly jaw-dropping one was a senior Whitehouse aide who was found with both a noose around his neck and a gunshot wound to the chest: What kind of person commits suicide in both ways at once, or shoots himself in the chest instead of the head -- while hanging themselves? And yet, the judge ruled his death a suicide and sealed all the forensic records, so no one could challenge it. Read the books to learn who this was and when it happened. Happily, Ms. Webb is not partisan -- she unmasks corruption in both parties, and through both Democratic AND Republican administrations. I do have some concerns about the work, which do not detract stars from this mighty opus but need to be stated: There are many places where Webb cites third party books as the sources for an assertion. If she were an academic or a government researcher, she would be required to source the original finding, not the third party source. If she found the fact in a third party book, the citation should name where that third party author got it, such as by saying "Author X cites FBI records that show....." or "Author Y interviewed the surviving spouse to learn..." or "Author Z provides this information from his many years working for Mossad himself..." So, yes, I wish she had been more attentive to establishing original sourcing for all documentable assertions, but I will take what we can get, because this info is so crucial. And readers can track down the books and articles she cites, to learn the original source of information. My second "complaint" is that I was puzzled by the book titles' focus on "blackmail," per se, rather than "corruption" more broadly. Webb's thesis is so important, I felt that she lost ground by choosing a book title that focuses everyone's attention only on the "blackmail" aspect, rather than the corrupt "manipulation" of political leaders and markets and organizations more generally. Much of the manipulation is achieved via money, rather than blackmail. But since Jeffrey Epstein used blackmail, and he is ostensibly the "peg" for writing this work, I can see how it wound up with a "blackmail"-focused title. The corruption Webb documents is WAY more extensive than just blackmail, however. My third concern is that I wish Webb had pointed out that "association" does not always mean "collaboration." Webb finds a lot of links between organized crime and intelligence that could easily reflect intelligence targeting of the corrupt entity, rather than cooperation with it. If intelligence personnel turn up embedded in a corrupt venue, it's always possible that they were collecting intel, which is, obviously their mission. Much of what she cites is, indeed, very disturbing, but I would have appreciated a note admitting that entities can be "linked" for reasons other than collusion. But this is still a five star work -- This ground-breaking book deserves a much more extensive review than Amazon's paradigm permits, but let me just end with this: Everyone needs to read this two-volume book so that there can be more discussion of what needs to happen next in all of our lives, now that we know how extensively government and business are being manipulated by corrupt entities.

Wish all Americans could read this.

After reading One Nation Under Blackmail Vol 1, I could not wait to read Vol 2, and I was not disappointed. These two volumes are very dense reading but in the end it will change your perspective forever. Our country and world are under the control of some very nasty, evil men. It will shock you to the core. I doubt we can really change this but its import to at least understand what is out there.

There is so much information in this book - with the author tying together the various criminals and organization in what seems to have been a thoroughly researched book. There are some real shockers and eye-openers in the links between organized crime and world governments, and it is upsetting to see the same names keep coming up again and again.I would not like to criticize such a well researched body of work - however I did find to difficult to follow at times as so much info is dropped in your lap with the author at times taking off-shoots into other areas.I would definitely recommend this book for an alternate view on modern geo-political corruption.

An amazing book that needed to be written and read. Ms. Webb packs so much into the paragraphs I had to take time to think about our nation being run by these powerful men and women. The book fills many holes, but opens just as many. Yhis scratches just the surface.Amazing research and notes.

Vastly understandable, one of the most knowledgeable and honest authors of this century. Tell all your friends about her

If a journalist wrote a book; it would read like this. If you want to know the way the world really works read these two books. It is really one book in two parts. The ultimate "red pill". This is not a novel or an easy read but a must read; a formidable work of research. Even if you cannot get through it it will change you,.

Amazing research and a wealth of information. It is practically an encyclopedia on the subject. It is also very well written and a pleasure to read!

If you don’t know this history you are missing out

Great Book.Thank's for all your research Whitney Webb.
