Aesop, the thing I find most interesting at the moment is all the fluttering and discussion about a so-called "Dead Man's Switch" - not that I do not believe one might exist, but the sort of breathless anticipation of "Now is the time...no, now." As if somehow after all the years of obfuscation and lack of interest by any media outlet for actual information for things that were very bad and very wrong by almost anyone's standards, suddenly now some sort of truth is going blatantly come forth.
Admittedly I am an Idealist and "The glass is pretty much full" sort of fellow, but that thinking is a Bridge too far even for me.
If I were her I would spill all my guts. The good. the bad, and as always, what we are looking for, the ugly. All of it. No matter how offensive or outrageous. If she has any shred of grey matter left she would let it all go. She has to figure she will be going on to a better life at the hand of some of the people she dealt with. So what is there to lose. Call it atonement call it reaching out for redemption before her final judgment. Call it what you will. She knows the score. She must know the inevitable outcome of this better than WE do....At least that's what I herd on the street.
If she'd had one or two little black books, AKA "insurance policies", to be dumped in case of death, she would have gotten the Heidi Hleiss treatment: short sentence in Club Fed, parole, and hands off, in exchange for her S-ingTFU. She's got nothing to bargain with, and her life expectancy can be measured in days (if not hours) as a result.
Interesting, as someone online pointed out, that only four accusers were called and no one anywhere or anytime asked on the record WHO ELSE WERE THEY TRAFFICKED TO?
Nick Flandrey, What would have happened to the parents if they had spoken up? What would have happened to anyone who asked who the victims were trafficked to? I'll bet your guess is the same as mine.
The popular version is that these were just normal girls recruited at the playground or something. In fact they were hooked on drugs and already putting out to whoever had the drugs or money to buy the drugs. There recruitment by Ms. Maxwell probably saved their lives and certainly gave them a better class of clients.
Lots of email bets on how soon. Already, even.

ReplyDeleteHmmm, wonder when Hillary will post her "in Memorium" tweet on the Maxwell?
