    The Epstein island was financed by Russia through Israel. The whole thing serves the dual purpose of blackmailing people who did not want the files released and damaging non-Russian nations when it got released. Trump is a Russian asset. Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, is a Russian asset. Russia wants more authoritarian states and less liberally democratic states in the world. I assume that Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, and anyone else that were in the files are also either direct assets or pawns for Russia. This wasn’t a weird cult that sprang up from nowhere. This was a concerted politically motivated honeypot. The irony to me is that the red scare of the cold war resulted in anti-communist thought in America, and now that very same anti-communist thought is being used to help Russia! We should be having another red scare now about Russia.

      I think it’s likely that he was freelance, and selling his information to anyone who was buying, and that was mostly Russia and Israel, but probably lots of others, too. Probably sold the same info to multiple buyers, increasing his victim’s exposure.

      Epstein must have been a singularly charming, charismatic guy, to be able to pull these people in. Then, at some point, he would say “I need a moment with you alone,” and he takes you into a separate room, shuts the door, and says “Remember the other night, when I hooked you up with that cute little 13 year old? Check this out…” And he shows a video of the two of you, then says “I’m going to need a favor.”

    Elon, if you’re reading this, there is no amount of money that can fix the mess left behind by your failed penis enlargement surgery. And, somewhere in a more impoverished part of the world, there is a man with the kind of huge hog you can never have. Never.

      I mean I think the bigger issue here is that he sent a Tesla to space when he could have become the Jesus of our times, and saved hundreds of millions of people from abject poverty and despair.

        You know what’s funny, though? I think about this all the time. There’s thousands of “Jesus of our times” people, but we don’t know any of their names, because they never became billionaires, because… well… they didn’t hoard money, cause… well… they’re “Jesus”

      Agreed, just gonna point out that not all (though certainly most) of them are American. Elon and Prince Andrew being good examples.

      Side thought, I’d like to see the ratio of billionaires by nationality. I imagine most would be either American or Chinese, but would be interesting numbers to look at. 🤔

        Elon is American granted citizenship in 2002, 24 years ago.

        I make this point not for Elon, but for other naturalized citizens. Once granted citizenship you are American, that’s one of the few good things I like about this country. I’ve lived and traveled to other countries where it doesn’t matter if you became a citizen or not because the locals will always consider you not one of them.

            I can only speak of my expirences in the US and other places, but for the most part no that’s not how it is in the US.

            Yes you can find a racist asshole in every country, but what’s the point. I wouldn’t say every Italian is uneducated because I found a person that didn’t complete school. This is why extremes make bad evidence.

            But admittedly I left the US before things got out of control. Our federal government is certainly making an attempt at trying to define who should be American. Sad to see and goes against one of the few things I truly loved about my country

                That’s simply a load of bullshit. I won’t tell you ICE hasn’t done it or tried it, but I can tell you they haven’t deported even 1% of poor foreign born US citizens.

            He was only the spare, but he was mummy’s favourite so she paid him an allowance of £250k, which he heavily overspent which led to all these dirty deals with the likes of Epstein to sell invites to royal parties etc.

            While the Royal family are billionaires, that is mostly the assets of the Crown Estate which are controlled for the public good. What they keep is centred around the King and the Prince of Wales.

            what might help is if you shifted away from an amount like a billion to a mechanism and class - they are of the capitalist owning classes who exploit because that is how capitalism works. billionaires to millionaires to thousandaires. own and exploit? boom: roasted.

        That is true. Unfortunately. However the cancer that usa became is generally pathetic - not only disgusting. The approach to money, people, technology, exploitation… it is just hard to comprehend how evil these people are… of course not only American but the concentration and the level of extreme is absolute top there. This is one of little areas that they are really THE “best” and world class.

      Girls, it also undresses young girls.

      And apparently the grok website/app or whatever will generate explicit and/or violent videos of anyone.

              On a completely different note… Have you ever heard of Point Nemo? It’s the point in the ocean furthest from any land. Somewhere in the south Pacific.

              Also there’s a type of nonsense that crops up among right wing jackasses every few years called sea steading. It’s a bad idea for a lot of reasons unless done in some very specific places and in some very specific ways.

              Point Nemo would be a very bad place for sea steading.
