The reality is that there is no "may". It is well known that CIA/Mossad have been doing this kind of stuff for many decades. |

Ugh, this is so disturbing. I didn't put in the confidantes thread because doubt anything will happen to him, but more coming out on (not surprising!) Epstein and co's misogyny (this goes well beyond hockey players).
This is the beginning of a report in Publisher's Marketplace: "Several recent pieces have highlighted the enduring link between Jeffrey Epstein and literary agent John Brockman, who connected Epstein with intellectuals, academics, and scientists, a relationship first brought to light in 2019 after Epstein's death. In newly released files, Brockman also discusses Epstein's funding of a conference tied to a book of science essays and the effects of "Me Too" on the industry. Brockman, "the king of scientific publishing" whose agency is now run by his son Max, was the leading agent for science and tech writers including Richard Dawkins, Jared Diamond, Daniel Kahneman, and Steven Pinker. In The Nerve, Virginia Heffernan—a former Brockman client—describes Brockman's pursuits outside of publishing, which were largely bankrolled by and deeply entwined with Epstein. Epstein was the primary (and in some years sole) funder of Brockman's Edge Foundation, which the agent framed as a nonprofit "intellectual salon" that hosted high-end in-person conferences. In addition to Heffernen, participants included "scholarly idols whose bios have 'Booker' and 'Nobel' in them" such as Ian McEwan, as well as Yuval Noah Harari, and Steve Wozniak. Brockman also coordinated "Billionaires Dinners," which brought together academics with tech titans such as Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates. As Heffernen reports, "Brockman kept me at a distance. As the latest Epstein files reveal, the token female members of Edge were actively excluded from schmoozing and conferences.... Otherwise, we might have struck up conversations with the anxious-looking teenage girls kept out of the photos. We might have overheard the Edge men praising race science, rape culture and genetic engineering. We might even have asked where the money came from."" It links to this article in the 19th -- The boys’ club: How Epstein’s influence shaped the exclusion of women in STEM https://19thnews.org/2026/02/epstein-files-academic-research-women-scientists/ "Epstein ultimately responded that he would fund the conference but not attend. Still, Epstein's sidelining of women, as highlighted in the newest batch of emails, may have had a dark influence on science and academia in the US. "For the boys in the club, the arrangement worked to their benefit. Epstein donated millions of dollars to their research, hosted them at networking dinners at his home, invited them to visit his island or his ranch in Santa Fe, and connected them to potential funders to further their work," the 19th writes. "As a result, these men were able to establish their own well-funded labs to pursue their work, land lucrative book deals and make connections to other prominent men, particularly those in Silicon Valley who were working on technological advancements like AI." |
As a women in science, I find this so sad. |
| I hope all the people being outed by governments other than ours will also take our dear leader down with them. Those governments are doing their own investigating and turning up their own dirt. They are under no obligation to redact anything related to Trump. It would be ironic if it took another country to make America great again, but that is certainly a strong possibility since our own government is covering for our president. |
Wait, so was Trump one of the honeytrapped/blackmailed? When he ranted about the Deep State, is this what he was actually talking about? There are so many overlapping layers to this story I'm finding the bigger picture hard to follow. |
| Bill Gates has obviously been told by PR professionals to lay it all out there. Huge segment just now on ABC News where he admits to two affairs with Russian women … and contacted Epstein AFTER his conviction for child sex trafficking … but insists he never himself saw anything illegal despite flying on private jets and “hanging out” with Epstein in at least four cities. |
I agree with you. It's going to take an outside entity to deal with the Epstein Express. |
50-50 chance Epstein offered partying at the legal but unethical level too. Side note—Same chance (sadly) my extended family member was entrapped for the crime he was convicted for, and/or he is a creepy nasty person. |
