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.""

"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."

Think about this carefully, fellow PPs. Our intelligence agency may have been involved in trafficking girls, and other atrocities, for the goal of gathering blackmail material.

It was worth it to them.

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.

FINALLY. How and why this took so long is astounding.

I know! He should have been blackballed years ago when he seriously cited bad research on how women's brains were less functional than men's (different structurally, yes, but functionally has never been proven). Of course he would be in the Epstein circle. He's never respected women.

In the Katie Johnson interview, I noticed that she said after each “party,” before the girls got paid and could go home, they had to report back to Epstein and “basically tell him everything that happened, with who, what they liked, what they disliked, if there was any requests, if there was any talk about anything.”

I assume he still has lifetime tenure, so this is just performative.

The dominoes are falling. Now let's start move on to the politicians and prosecutions!

The explanation is that there are photos and videos of Trump and underage girls somewhere, and the DOJ has been told to get rid of them. The pieces will come together when the GOP decides Trump is a liability. Even the magas don't like pedophiles, not even their beloved Dear Leader. The evidence is out there, probably in Israel's possession too, but it will surface eventually.

Um, I’m not sure that’s true. They haven’t impeached him yet, so I’m gonna say that MAGA doesn’t care about pedophiles. I even saw some MAHA interviewed by Jason Selvig who said anyone who was on the plane should go to jail, and when Jason said Trump was the guy pushed back and then Jason did. Finally, this MAGA settled on “well if says he’s innocent I believe him.”

MAGA is actively protecting pedophiles.

Why didn't Biden administration release the files? Prosecute?

People have explained this over and over and over. The Biden administration could not release evidence while Ghislaine Maxwell’s case was active. Is it really so hard to understand?

And why did Biden Admissions choose not to prosecute any of the rapists? Only Epstein's girlfriend was prosecuted.

Are you indicating that she wasn’t a rapist too? Because she was.

Ok, no more explaining it again.

Let’s just say that you are right and that we should go after everyone now. Release the other 90 or so percent of the files and let’s start putting people in jail.
