In a report on the mansion, valued at more than $55 million, The New York Times noted that its artwork includes, on the second floor, a commissioned mural of a “photorealistic prison scene that included barbed wire, corrections officers and a guard station, with Mr. Epstein portrayed in the middle.”

The Times quotes R. Couri Hay, a public relations specialist who recently met with Epstein at his home, as saying, “(Epstein) said, ‘That’s me, and I had this painted because there is always the possibility that could be me again.’”

The home also includes such oddities as a hallway covered with artificial eyeballs originally made for wounded soldiers, a life-size female doll hanging from a chandelier, and a chess board with custom figures, many dressed suggestively and modeled after one of Epstein's staffers, The Times reported.

U.S. intelligence officers were also able to identify digital links between the covert communications system and the U.S. government itself, according to one former official—links the Chinese agencies almost certainly found as well. These digital links would have made it relatively easy for China to deduce that the covert communications system was being used by the CIA. In fact, some of these links pointed back to parts of the CIA’s own website, according to the former official.

The covert communications system used in China was first employed by U.S. security forces in war zones in the Middle East, where the security challenges and tactical objectives are different, the sources said. “It migrated to countries with sophisticated counterintelligence operations, like China,” one of the officials said.

The system was not designed to withstand the scrutiny of a place like China, where the CIA faced a highly sophisticated intelligence service and a completely different online environment.

This is basically "we got sloppy and careless fighting random insurgents with poo poo equipment and we can't deal with an actual state funded intelligence agency."

My question is why even bring this to trial and risk it? There is a thousand times more heat on Epstein's clients now than there was when he was a fringe theory for internet crackpots.

This feels more like a power play by somebody else but I can't put my finger on who without resorting to wild speculation.

My gut says the Pentagon and the Intelligence community since they don't seem to be directly implicated in the same way that Hollywood, career politicians and Wall Street are but thats veering off into that wild speculation I said I wanted to avoid.

This is why I stick to worshipping Athena and a handful of others.
