If anyone believes in the narrative of Jeffery Epstein being a rich pedophile who committed suicide in prison, I'd suggest listening to Eric Weinstein's amazing podcast that includes his own experience meeting Epstein when he worked in New York.

He makes a pretty strong case that Jeffrey Epstein (and Ghislaine Maxwell) were very likely agents of some government (likely Israel) used to gain information and blackmail rich people and those in power.

Blackball? Do you mean blackmail?

Why don't you actually listen to the podcast before making a judgement.

Honeypot operations are not unprecedented. Israel's most famous spy was involved in honeypots and orgies successfully targeting the Syrian military and government. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eli_Cohen

On top of that there so many red flags:

- Where are the trading records or sec filings for Epstein who along with Madoff was one of the star hedge fund managers?

- How did he make his money considering he had only a single major client and previously was a private school teacher?

- How did someone who was supposedly worth 600 million live a lifestyle of a multi-billionaire with the largest private residence in Manhattan, a private island, and multiple private planes?

On top of that why were there so many strange circumstances around his prosecution and death? Nothing was standard about any part of it. Acosta himself was told to "back off" because "Epstein was above his pay grade".

Epstein was uniquely involved in parties gathering everyone across politics, finance, science, and industry, as has been repeatedly asserted, and his house was bugged heavily as has pretty well documeted.

Not to mention Ghislaine Maxwell's own father was a Mossad agent.

But I guess you have all the answers and we are all wearing tinfoil hats.

It's enough evidence to make anyone laugh at how blatant the operation was and how it went undetected for so long. Like an APT malware campaign...

There is a difference between theories and evidence.

There is no evidence that he was an agent for any agency.

There's no shortage of theories though.

Ghislaine Maxwell's father was almost surely a Mossad spy: https://www.amazon.com/Robert-Maxwell-Israels-Superspy-Gordo...

There's all kinds of things the intelligence agencies are doing that you and I have no clue about, and have no evidence of.
Re:Ghislaine Maxwell arrested by the FBI by koheripbal on Thursday July 02, 2020 @11:49AM (#23714599)
Obviously. That doesn't mean you can just make up any theory you want and expect the rest of us to accept it as fact.

It's still just a random made-up theory until there's direct evidence.

That's how logical thinking works.

I don't think it's tinfoil hat anymore. Governments are so corrupt.

Exactly, there is vast amounts of evidence if one searches for it.
Re:Ghislaine Maxwell arrested by the FBI by koheripbal on Thursday July 02, 2020 @11:31AM (#23714387)
There are vast amounts of theories and circumstantial "coincidences".

Zero direct evidence unfortunately.

Eric is a reputable person, and he must know how to cite, I assume. I am sure Epstein has been a monster, but Eric lately is talking about physics and politics the way that I cannot even comprehend what is he talking about other than him being opressed somehow!?

Without the turture of listening the whole thing, does anyone know of any good resources of where he is learning about the Epstein's life? What he actually was doing with all these powerful people?

Re:Ghislaine Maxwell arrested by the FBI by sky_rw on Thursday July 02, 2020 @10:50AM (#23713814)
If you listen to it and get your knowledge first hand, you will hear a detailed explanation of exactly what he was doing with all these powerful people.

He's being "playful" trying to get people to figure out what he's getting at instead of outlining everything for us for what he understands something.

Whitney Webb has been doing amazing work digging into this matter. Her earlier work was on Mint Press and now she’s continuing her work here: https://www.thelastamericanvagabond.com/category/whitney-web....
