Btw back when a dismaying number of influencers (including Claire Lehman) appeared eager to move on from Epstein a few months ago, shortly after Trump's "witchhunt" bitching, Taibbi dedicated an entire post to how unfair it was to Epstein that a judge allowed people to testify against him after he was dead.
People do have a right to confront their accusers, and while it is impossible to prosecute a dead man, that doesn't mean the investigation into his network should stop.
If all it takes to bury an investigation is a murder...
To date, I don't believe Epstein's Arizona ranch has been searched. Although the state of Arizona has shown some interest, if it has happened, I haven't heard about it.
Over a year ago, Kash Patel told Joe Rogan that there was an Epstein suicide tape, that he had seen it, and it would be shared for all to see. That hasn't happened yet.
Worse, the existence of a suicide video completely contradicts the government's previous claim that the video cameras (all two of them) malfunctioned, while the temporary prison guards were asleep.
Those guards were charged but after a couple years the charges were dropped.
This is all off the top of my head, and to the best of my knowledge.
I'm curious who we can trust, and am sure we can count them on one hand. And with the advent of regurgitative ai content, we can no longer trust any media that's vulnerable (!) to digitalization, so...
I think we can agree that Epstein was running a kompromat operation with underage girls. That’s just sop: Franklin, Savile, Dutroux, the Finders—even Silsby connected to the Clintons.
There was an elite pedo ring in Vancouver tied to an HA pig farm for “disposals” that the police and judiciary protected.
Not disputing that, only the fervour about Epstein’s “list” many years after the investigation and after the Feds/Biden admin had been sitting on “the files” for years.
So whoever got their hands on the kompromat likely put it to use—why wouldn’t they? Why nullify all that power by making it pubic? Or it went back to the Establishment whose op it was to produce it.
Or, from the Biden/Dem side, why not destroy everything that implicates them? Or from the Trump side, why not put the stuff on the market and sell it back to the kompromat-ees?
And we don’t know what has or has not been investigated at the ranch. Not everything is made public.
One thing I noticed from Epstein’s correspondences is that he wasn’t very bright and though he did manage to “buy” some scientists, they seem to have been really flaky ones who pitched really flaky science projects. Though, we don’t know.
Not defending Epstein, just pointing out logical inconsistencies.
He's one of the podcasters listed with Owens and Tucker that are doing anti-Israel messaging. He names both Owens and Carlson in that first clip. In the next clip he's being lauded for turning Megyn Kelly against Israel.
Behind the CO Kirk "investigation" is anti-Israel messaging, and even pro-Islam messaging.
Interesting stuff.

We're epistemologically screwed, it seems.
Good post.

I didn't get the connection from Greenwald/Snowden to CO attempting to crowdsource Charlie Kirk info in your piece, btw.
Other than similar (dubious) methods.
Yeah, I was running out of time.

Is it okay if I'm anti-israel and anti-islam?
