Jeffrey Epstein is dead. He’s still being talked about

“It appears Epstein was involved in criminal activity that went way beyond pedophilia and sex trafficking, which makes it even more outrageous that [Attorney General] Pam Bondi is sitting on several million unreleased files.”

Jeffrey Epstein talked a lot about pizza. That doesn’t mean pizzagate was real.

“Epstein argues that teaching children to write may be harmful because writing forces “linear” and “narrow” patterns of thinking, whereas the greatest thinkers never wrote.”

“Billionaires really like thinkers who see their exploitation of the weak as a good and natural thing.” — from a look at how Epstein came to influence the Edge intellectual conclave.

Edge member Stephen Pinker offers what he considers controversial ideas: “Do most victims of sexual abuse suffer no lifelong damage … Do men have an innate tendency to rape … Are Ashkenazi Jews, on average, smarter than gentiles because their ancestors were selected for the shrewdness needed in  money lending?” Got to say, I’ve never found ideas like these to be cutting edge (the rape thing, for instance, is bullshit) but I can see why a bunch of older white men might find them appealing.

“Rep. James Comer, chair of the House Oversight Committee, has claimed that the Department of Justice intervened to block a state investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s New Mexico ranch in 2019.”

“The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump.”

“Democratic members of the Republican-led House Oversight Committee told reporters that Bondi, who was joined by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, would not commit to complying with the subpoena for her sworn testimony April 14 to answer questions about the Justice Department’s handling of records related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.”

“The 2014 visit to Newport was not the first time Epstein tried to get his “girls” onto a Woody Allen set. Emails from the latest DOJ document release show that between 2010 and 2017, he attempted to influence or aid Allen’s casting process.”

How predators like Epstein can manipulate their victims into believing they have agency.
