It was supposed to be China, but China had started sinking their tendrils into Hollywood at that point, and they were forced to change it so as not to piss them off.
Exactly. They cling to a system that was created to ensure secrecy in a time before there were permanent recordings of events. It was nearly obsolete with the invention of film cameras, but now it is LOOOONG obsolete. There is no longer any way to hide affiliations or social connections. AI will find out if you are connected to an assassin or a child rapist or anyone else. Then you take down one, you take down all. They should have realized this when the "big" pedo clubs/networks started falling in the 80's. But they didn't, because they used their control of the media and the police to shield their own and continued to operate like it was 1970.
With their secrets exposed for the world to see, they will have to change if they want to survive.
Trump will guide them on that path.
I suspect the Rabbis will lose their position in jewish society. They are the source of most of the poison that permeates that community, imo.
