Epstein was getting himself photographed every week, didn’t have a military background, had known vices and seemed to be a bit of a talker. Why bring him in instead of an ex-SOG Vietnam vet that wouldn’t draw attention to himself?

I don't think that a buttoned up ex-SOG Vietnam vet who was really good at keeping secrets and maintaing discretion would have been nearly as effective in the world Epstein traveled in. I think Epstein's usefulness was due to a combination of his total lack of morals, his ambition, his ability to charm people and his mathematical skills. The fact he had no independent wealth or connections to begin with and had vices that would make him controllable was probably a feature and not a bug.

Alternatively, Epstein may not have been groomed for this position. Maybe he sort of stumbled into the world of espionage semi-accidentally but was able to secure a role for himself.

How does the cia agent Khashoggi figure into all of this?

Khashoggi was a player in Iran-Contra and the Bank of International Credit and Commerce as well as the Safari Club, all of which are sprawling aspects of the same general trend toward the post-Church committee CIA relying on third parties to evade oversight and accountability and keep key agency operations 'off book'. A lot of circumstantial evidence suggests that Epstein was another player in this sprawling network of dark money, arms trafficking, drugs and human smuggling, though who he was working for and what he was up to is rather murky.

Science Philanthropist, Jeffrey Epstein, Organizes A Global Doomsday Conference

/EINPresswire.com/ The Jeffrey Epstein Foundation convenes an international conference of award winning scientists to identify the greatest threats to the Earth.

In the wake of the March 2011 Tohuku earthquake and tsunami, the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists pushed the symbolic Doomsday Clock one minute closer to midnight last January, to reflect the world's lack of progress with battling climate change and nuclear weapons.

To address this concern, the Jeffrey Epstein Foundation, which funds science research, is organizing a second world conference called Coping with Future Catastrophes to be held most likely in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

The first conference took place last December in the US Virgin Islands and brought together a prestigious panel of scientists to identify the greatest threats to the Earth. Such threats include acts of bioterrorism and high-energy chain-reactions.

The conference included Marvin Minsky, Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT, Martin Nowak, Professor of Biology and Mathematics at Harvard University and Lawrence Krauss, Professor of Physics at Arizona State University.

Lawrence Krauss, who also serves as co-chair of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists' board of sponsors, stated that, "The major challenge...in the 21st century is how to meet energy needs for economic growth… without further damaging the climate ... and risking further spread of nuclear weapons..."

"We need to identify the greatest threats to our Earth," Minsky summarized, "but we also need to prioritize them."

The list of prioritized threats, assembled at the first conference will be refined at the second conference, and will host a larger panel of international scientists. "We intend to cast a wider global net," Jeffrey Epstein remarked, "and cover a wider range of fields including bio and genetic engineering."

The goal of this second conference however is to also begin the process of setting up a non-governmental agency to monitor the list and work on preventative measures.

"So far, there are hundreds of organizations, such as the International Atomic Energy Agency or the World Health Organization, that monitor potential threats but they tend to focus on one field of study," Minsky affirmed. "There's a great need for an international organization to collect data from all of these groups, to prioritize looming disasters and to establish preventative measures.

I'm actually writing a bit for another subforum that deals with the X-risks subculture, and I will touch on its links to folks like Epstein. The Machine Intelligence Research Institute, aka Eliezer Yudkowsky's* outfit got money from the man too: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/peteraldhous/jeffrey-epstein-science-donations-apologies-statements

There are frankly disturbing links between the futurological subculture, in all it's forms, from neo-eugenics areas to the :derp: around existential risk bullshit and the circles that Epstein ran in, whatever their full nature was.

*For those who aren't fully familiar with MIRI or Yud, I refer you to this thread:https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3627012&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1

What happened to Epstein’s money? He just arranged to have it all put away forever in a trust that never pays anything out to anyone during his last 48 hours spent alive?

Was that just a huge gently caress-you to the victims? Can a settlement get at any of the money now that he’s dead? The money is probably guilty of crimes using the same logic as those laws that allow cops to seize people’s cars and houses forever.

He killed himself because he was a clinical narcissist who wanted to establish dominance over his accusers and the state by the only means left to him. The czars and princes of the world had no reason to fear exposure in a trial because they had no doubt already taken measures to protect themselves and would have made evidence disappear whether Epstein was alive or not. If he had blackmail material on anyone, he would have died in a mysterious accident or in a robbery where no suspect was ever apprehended.

Pretend play can be fun, but the princes of this world have no reason to hide what they are or what they do and in recent years they seem to be making a sport of brazenly demonstrating how powerless we are to stop them (Kavanaugh for instance).

The most unbelievable part of that is Epstein dating an adult woman. “Uncle Jeff” is creepy poo poo on the order of Bundy working at a suicide hotline. Can easily believe that a psychopath like him would get off on cultivating relationships that could turn into rape but choosing not to because he gets off on the power of being able to determine the fate of another person, like school shooters pointing the gun at someone, telling them they could easily shoot them, then letting them go.

If he had blackmail material on anyone who could have successfully had him killed, he would have died before he became famous for being a child rapist who procured victims for other millionaires, yes. Why would anyone who could prevent it allow him to live after the first time his poo poo almost got blown wide open?

what makes you think Epstein is remotely the only person to have incriminating evidence on, like, Bill Clinton or Bill Barr. It doesn't take any dark supposition beyond just reading the headline news occasionally to see that every single person these guys could call a close associate is another paranoid grasping sociopath with tremendous resources who goes to the same hosed up parties they do, they're not releasing their dirt on each other or preemptively murdering each other over it without good reason for the same reason Kim Jong Un didn't wake up yesterday morning deciding he'd gently caress around and launch one little nuke at Tokyo.

The Epstein story didn't "almost" get blown open back then. It was covered up by authorities and largely ignored by the press and he continued his philanthropic activities in the open while still cavorting with visibly underage women and attending swanky conferences with politicians and scientists and celebrities and financiers.

When he was arrested earlier this year at Teterboro airport while flying back into the United States there is no indication that he was forewarned. Whatever protection he previously enjoyed was either less effective or had been withdrawn. Guess what happened next? He died in a mysterious accident.

You mean the Miami cops who tipped him off about the raid on his mansion so that he could remove evidence, or the federal prosecutor who arranged the illegal plea bargain because Epstein "belonged to intelligence", or the FBI who facilitated that deal?
