Roughly six pages from more than 8,500 documents provided by Epstein’s estate to Democratic members on the House Oversight Committee include meeting schedules appearing to show appointments with Bannon and venture capitalist Peter Thiel during Donald Trump’s first term in office.

The documents also mention Musk joining a potential trip to Epstein’s island in 2014.

Prince Andrew also is listed in the documents as a passenger on Epstein’s aircraft, with financial disclosures provided to the committee suggesting evidence of payments from Epstein to an individual listed as “Andrew.”

His appointment with Bannon in 2019 was just months before Epstein was federally charged with trafficking and sexually abusing dozens of minors. Epstein pleaded not guilty and was found dead in a jail cell in New York in August 2019.

      A person gets that rich because their morals allow them to exploit other people.

      Once they are that rich, they can get anything they want, they no longer have the “thrill of the hunt” and substitute it for the “thrill of the forbidden”.

          Sending something into the sun isn’t quite as trivial as it seems. Launching off the earth, it will have an initial orbital momentum close to the earth’s, about 30 km/s (about 67000 mph or 107000 km/h), which your rocket would have to lose in order to push its orbit low enough that it’ll hit the sun. The Parker Solar Probe took six years of flight and nine Venus flybys to get to a distance of 6.2 million km (3.8 million miles) from the surface.

          Wouldn’t that be one hell of a thrilling engineering challenge to beat?

        Escape Room has a similar premise. One could also argue Cabin In The Woods tells a similar tale of shadowy groups of elites using human sacrifice if you put billionaires in place of the Old Gods.

    also mentions a tentative breakfast with Bill Gates.

    Oh look, more evidence that bill gates probably raped children.

    In my experience people online are really reluctant to believe this of gates, despite the constant stream of evidence from epstein files, the workplace culture and business practices that reflect a psychopath in charge and the need for one of the most expensive PR excersizes in history since ashoka the terrible started promoting buddhism.

      The thing with Bill Gates is, he was an absolute piece of shit while running Microsoft. Basically killing all the competitors and trying to kill open source projects.

      The whole he’s a good person look at what he is doing with his money, is just flawed. He shouldn’t have that money in the first place. He definitely screwed over other people and companies to get that kind of money. If you think I don’t care about companies, well the extra costs will just go to the consumer, so us.

      It’s because he has been the victim of clearly unfair attacks. So many people will defend that person to the hilt on everything because they were unfairly attacked on other things.

      We see this over and over with government agencies that the Republicans may attack to try to make them worse and everybody else pretends like they were doing an acceptable job all around.

      Bill Gates is a piece of shit though, in at least three different ways. Pushing over use of toxic pesticides like glyphosate, advocating for spraying sulfur dioxide en masse in the upper atmosphere to slow global warming in so-called Geo engineering, and as you mentioned, fucking underage girls.

      He’s not one of the good guys no matter how good his PR people did in the last 30 years painting him as a likable old coot. He is not that, he is a deluded man that has nobody to tell him when he is wrong in his orbit.

        I mean, it’s also possible he’s just a piece of shit in other ways and he was actually meeting with Epstein for some run of the mill neoliberal horror show, like convincing farmers in Sudan to use RoundUp Ready® crops or something like that. I guess I’m just saying, not all evil motherfuckers are evil in the same way.

        NOTE: I am not in any way trying to say I think Bill Gates is 100% not a pedo, just that without him being on a flight manifest to the rape island, or testimony from a victim, I’m not certain he is a pedo.

          Gates himself admitted Epstein brought him a woman and her daughter to eat dinner with him and called them beautiful. So we know Epstein was at least attempting this with Gates. And Melissa imo divorced him related to this given her comments in a recent interview.

          It’s the same as Michael Jackson - his own daughter Paris believes he did those crimes to boys. That adds a lot of credibility imo. Someone’s wife or daughter isn’t casually going to accept this, they had to do a lot of processing first

            Jackson’s kinda weird though? I honestly believe his dad pumped him with puberty blockers. That theory explains everything about the “man”, his childish voice and body and interests.

            Jackson was a rich man in a child’s body. Viewed through that lens, all the insane shit he did makes sense. I lived those times, and everyone was crazy talking about how he pulled such childish stunts. We wrote it off to being rich and crazy.

            I know the LAPD found CSAM in his place, evidence that never came to trial. But he was basically a child in a man’s (sorta) body, not sure what else I would expect from such a literally unnatural upbringing.

            LOL, sorry, WAY off topic, but I see Jackson as a victim more than a perpetrator.

              Oh I mean, look into his relationship with Diana Ross - he was absolutely a victim of her, and lived at her house for several years as a teenager back when Sable Starr was getting gang raped as a middle schooler. So yeah he had a fucked up childhood.

              Still, he most likely committed those crimes, as Paris Jackson has talked with the victims and learned about the case, and it changed her mind entirely. I believe she did not change her mind lightly and there is evidence she was able to see that can’t be released to the public.

              https://www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/comments/1n7hgnv/paris_jackson_attempts_to_clarify_her_views_of/

              She thinks he’s guilty.

              Eta comment by user in that thread:

              So before Leaving Neverland, Paris was a staunch defender of her dad’s innocence publicly, since then she hasn’t defended him against the allegations, not even once. She has also covered up her tattoos of him. She has done almost no press for anything MJ related besides one appearance introducing MJ the musical at an awards show where she looks really uncomfortable, like she’s going to cry.

              On his birthday one year she responded to angry fans demanding she post about him by saying that just because she doesn’t post about him doesn’t mean she doesn’t love him because he didn’t even like birthdays, and that fans should donate to causes he cares about. She mentions animals and the environment, but notably not children, despite that being the thing MJ cared about most, supposedly.

              Omer Bhatti is a Norwegian man who met Michael Jackson as a child while he was on tour. Like many of the children who became close friends with Michael Jackson he was male, light skinned, and a few years pre-pubescent. Like many of those children he also dressed like MJ, did his hair and makeup like MJ, stayed with him in the same bed with no one else present, and learned how to dance from him.

              Unlike most of the children that became friends with Michael Jackson, Omer remained friends with him when he went through puberty and continued to be close with him until his passing. He was a sort of cousin/older brother figure to Paris and the two are still close. He was present at Neverland during the second police raid, where law enforcement noted that he looked kind of stunned like he’d been caught or something.

              After MJ’s death, Omer would cite him as a mentor, father figure, and his greatest inspiration. After Leaving Neverland he stopped doing so. Since then he has posted some cryptic things. He once posted a picture of himself as a child with a caption talking about “secrets” that he holds. Last mother’s day he did a tribute to his mom where every single picture had Michael Jackson lazily cropped out, and Paris liked it. Based on his social media presence he doesn’t seem to have any sort of clear income stream yet he lives an extremely comfortable life.

              Paris is choosing her very words carefully because she obviously still loves her father for all his flaws, but she has very clearly had a strong change of heart in the last few years.

              I obviously don’t know for sure [if he is getting money in exchange for silence], but that is what I believe based on the circumstances. The estate recently publicized the fact that they secretly paid 5 previously unknown victims in 2020, so there’s a precedent of secret payouts. Couple that with everything I said and it’s definitely my best and strongest guess that he’s being paid off. Reddit also shadow banned all my comments that mentioned him for a couple hours, so that could be something.

              Also, here’s a quote from the MJ estate’s FAQ:

              “[T]he fans can’t – and won’t ever – know what the Estate has done behind the scenes. The Estate doesn’t always want to be publicly acknowledged or credited for what it does,”

          Epstein was loaning and moving millions, maybe billions, of dollars. I can hardly pretend to understand what the game is like on that level.

          But first and foremost, Epstein was a financier. The money was top, girls second. And the girls were a source of pleasure and blackmail. Rinse and repeat. C-C-C-COMBO! Once you set foot in that tar pit, for whatever reason, you’re stuck.

          Gates, for all his flaws, never struck me as a kiddy fucker. Horny wasn’t his game. Ruthless domination of the IT world was his goal, and he got it. Does that make sense? And yes, I am well aware of his evil past. I started learning computers when he was a kid building Microsoft in the 80s. Read his unauthorized biography, tracked him on the news, worked his ecosystems, seen where he’s been, mostly. I get it.

          Guess I’m only saying, because he met Epstein, flew to his island, not automatically putting rape on his record. But again, I’d have a hard fucking time believing he didn’t know.

        If you believe Epstein was an asset of an intelligence agency (perhaps more than one), then why would they waste the money and time on him flying people out that he wasn’t going to blackmail? Like he is the sex blackmail guy, that’s his role for intelligence, there’s no need for him to be around people if he isn’t doing his job and getting sex blackmail from them.

        Similarly, Ray J (who is now claiming to work with the FBI as an informant to take down the Kardashians/Jenners that he says are worse than Diddy and indeed both groups associated a lot with Justin Bieber and others), Ray J has long been said to be a celebrity drug dealer. He was the one who supposedly sold Whitney Houston her drugs, including the night she died. If someone is hanging out with Ray J or partying with Ray J, you’d assume they are doing drugs because that’s his literal job and he just won’t be wasting time not dealing.

        Also, remember that Ray J was who filmed Kim K’s porno, rumored to be released by her mom Kris. Kim used to work for Ray J’s sister Brandi (largely innocent of all this afaik) and stole from her, substantial amounts. And ofc, Kim was married to Kanye, who parades his now partners around like sex slaves and is an open Nazi and hangs out with Candace Owens, a probable Russian asset.

            I don’t know how “blooded in” someone would need to be, to be accepted in a space like that. Plenty of epstein associates do seem to have avoided public tarring, so maybe just going there is not incriminating enough. But would people have known then that it might be live-down-able?

            I certainly don’t know.

        That’s probably just a lie, the sudden change of personality part. Or there’s an academic theory that his conversion and pacificism were just PR.

        In the province where his last brutal massacring happened, which supposedly precipitated his change of heart, the version of the steles that he commissioned leaves out the change of heart part and just details what a brutal massacre he committed.

        So if he’s still selling himself just as a brutal conqueror in the province where that image is beneficial for suppressing revolt, how sincere was his conversion?

        Modern understandings of the brain also suggest that someone who took his meals in the custom built torture dungeon he called “ashoka’s hell”, is probably neurologically incapable of empathy. The sudden appearance of empathy doesn’t really fit with how psychopathy works.

        It’s not universally accepted, but I find it convincing. The lies of the powerful are often written in stone.

              But you just have to come to their rescue. Interesting. Are you American?

    Just learned that Erica Kirk was in on all the human trafficking as well. I swear this is the thing binding all these assholes together. Raping children and blackmailing each other over it. Disgusting.

        A little Ghislaine Maxwell in training. No woman would nestle Trump like that just because she was grieving. It was so staged it hurt.

        She is also obviously not grieving at all, she got what she wanted and now is on track to be the first female president.

            Oh Gosh! They will love a little pic me that tells them what they want to hear. A Christian white nationalist who will get the women’s vote while leading then into the Handmaidens Tale.

            It will be her versus AOC. All that is white and right Jesus loving pageant queen versus the brown girl. Just you wait!

        It is mostly conjecture at this point, but the more I research it the more it looks like she had a part in it. Maybe she just happened to be kicking it with all the chimos and she is innocent. Somehow I doubt this.

        I was just telling my wife that I think she was in on her husband’s murder. He was not backing down from the Epstein shit and it was creating a rift in their party. If he found out she was also in on the child prostitution ring it had the potential to blow up really big.

        After learning the official US explanation of his death is completely bunk (he was not shot from the front) and then her quick to forgive the supposed shooter because of “Jesus” I started getting very suspicious.

        I had already thought the most likely culprits were either Russia or Israel as they had the most to gain from further polarizing the US.

        I will admit I could be full of shit, but I am seeing a lot of red flags and things are not adding up.

          You’re just taking that for granted as true? Why? Only source I had on that was some random YouTuber suggested to me. His credentials seemed to be “I’m a gun guy”. I don’t tend to believe that conspiracy theories play out in public like that.

            There’s a video that CBS put out, directly after the shooting someone is scanning the crowd with their camera and caught video of the shooter running off the roof. Again, RIGHT AFTER. People are just starting to run out of the event, realizing what happened.

            Yet…! The gun is an old WW1 Mauser that requires a screwdriver and time to disassemble. The FBI later said they found a screwdriver on the roof (even though crime scene photos of the roof don’t show it) and claim that he unscrewed this gun in almost an instant, left the screwdriver on the roof, jumped down with the gun taken apart, and then reassembled the gun and left it for cops to find.

            Not to mention they had his body on Airforce 1 well before a forensic autopsy could typically be completed.

            I used to volunteer with retired police detectives for online investigations for missing persons, Does, and cold cases. This shit does not make any fucking sense. Literally their timeline doesn’t add up with the timelines of the videos of the shooter or the event. It just doesn’t.

            I don’t even need to get into whether the ammo was actually a 30-06 or if the triangulation of the gunshot confirms the shooters location because the timeline itself is already wrong.

            Gotta wonder if the reason they are blatantly fucking up the investigations including Luigi’s is so the public stops using the justice system and starts relying on their own methods.

              Sure you did. You totally weren’t just some weirdo on reddit doing half assed research that never went anywhere. You aren’t a criminal investigator, so you can stop pretending to be one now.

              I don’t see how this has anything to do with what op wrote about the bullet coming from the opposite direction. Also, the rifle being taken apart thing was debunked

                  I don’t really care to nitpick, but I am pretty sure they retracted that almost immediately.

                  But regardless the FBI is being run by a moron right now. For you that’s evidence they pulled off a conspiracy. For me it’s the opposite.

            Just to flip this around, why would you take what the government says as truth considering they are literally lying about everything?

            Having said that I did my own analysis after watching said gun guy show the evidence. Everything he said was accurate including the blood splatter on Eric’s shirt a frame afterwards indicating it was definitely an exit wound on the left side of his neck.

            Honestly it doesn’t take an expert to see there is no probable way that a wound on the left side of his neck, which is clearly an exit wound, was from a shot in the front. Also, the official explanation with the caliber makes no sense as Kirk would have been missing half of his neck.

            I am open to new evidence, but considering Airforce 2 whisked his body away immediately afterwards just raises yet more red flags.

              why would you take what the government says as truth considering they are literally lying about everything?

              …I’m not. I’m taking video evidence, some of it released within seconds of the incident. I’m not taking any random’s (who stands to gain on YT ad revenue) statements on it as truth or thinking I can myself do the work of forensic experts, all in order to deny what my own eyes tell me seems a cut and dried truth.

              Then there’s the other fact which no one can ever change. Pulling off any hoax, especially one that unfolds in public, requires far more competence, coordination, and silence than I’m aware of any group of people having.

              I assume you believe a lot of other conspiracy theories. Was 9/11 an inside job? Did we land on the moon? According to what you wrote above, those both should just as easily be theories that are likely true. We landed on the moon. 9/11 wasn’t an inside job. Tyler Robinson killed Charlie Kirk.

              I haven’t yet seen a need to take one iota of info provided by government to come to those conclusions. Occam’s razor is a thing for good reason.

                If you don’t want to watch the video analysis and then do it yourself that is up to you.

                https://youtu.be/ltakvGyzfZs

                I don’t find your musings very compelling especially as it seems you are trying to purposely make as many logical fallacies as you can.

                You bring up a bunch of low hanging fruit but ignore actually important things like when Snowden exposed magic lantern and project echelon. Why wouldn’t you bring up supposed conspiracy theories that turned out to be true with vast numbers of people working for the US government knowing about it and not leaking it.

                The devil’s always in the details. Was 9/11 an inside job is spurious to the truth that the government used it to take away our rights and attack nations that had nothing to do with it.

                So far it looks like the governments explanation is a lie and you can wave your hands so hard you can fly straight to the moon for all I care.

            That’s completely false. There’s no video of it bouncing off his vest. There’s a video that shows a shockwave hitting the front of his shirt, along with a different video showing a shockwave causing a similar effect to the back of his shirt too. In the video, it does not appear that he is wearing a vest.

            There are videos of a vapor trail coming from Charlie’s right a frame before he was killed though. The hole we saw looks a lot more like an exit wound from a smaller caliber rifle. It was certainly not a 30-06.

            A 30-06 round is pretty much 2x the size of a 5.56 round (what an AR-15 uses). It would have been insanely loud, people would have turned their heads to see where it came from, and Charlie’s head would have been blown up. It wouldn’t have been the hole with blood that we saw if it were a 30-06. 30-06 is meant for taking out Elk and Grizzly Bears.

              I agree with you on the size thing, maybe we saw different videos, in the one I saw however a small projectile which appeared to strick the front of his vest and bounce upwards into his neck, I am also basing this on memory, there is something extremely odd about this

      I don’t see Musk on the manifest (Musk is in the diary entry on page 1), the two typed names are Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

    Roughly six pages from more than 8,500 documents provided by Epstein’s estate to Democratic members on the House Oversight Committee include meeting schedules appearing to show appointments with Bannon and venture capitalist Peter Thiel during Donald Trump’s first term in office.

    The documents also mention Musk joining a potential trip to Epstein’s island in 2014.

    Prince Andrew also is listed in the documents as a passenger on Epstein’s aircraft, with financial disclosures provided to the committee suggesting evidence of payments from Epstein to an individual listed as “Andrew.”

    The inclusion of one’s name in the documents does not indicate wrongdoing.

    Republicans on the committee called the latest batch of files “old news.”

    “It’s sad how Democrats are conveniently withholding documents that contain the names of Democratic officials” and “putting politics over victims,” according to Oversight Republicans. “We are [totally] releasing [one or two of] them all soon [lol].”
