Holy gently caress, Epstein was a fake identity and fake name. It's standard practice, right? How did the thread about this guy go on so long without guessing it

Because that would've been antisemitic (because they chose a Jewish-sounding name for their child trafficking liason).

Jeremy Corbyn got in hot water for pronouncing Epstein's name wrong.

It's funny because every other living Prime Minister is probably too familiar with that name to get it wrong.

If they wanted his name to rhyme with the age range of his victims, they should've spelled it "Epstien."

If it was someone else's assumed identity then how much of his earlier life was fabricated as well, which even as presented looked like it set him up to be groomed?

the 70s still had militant working class movements in the US. by the 2000s the left was defeated and capital was ascendant.

maybe this is enough to explain it all. A lot of the movement was university students and professors fighting for academic freedom. Now they have become so competitive and desperate that they fight to produce the best chip to jam in someone's dome.

Trotskyism suggests that socialist states should actively spread socialism across the world

Neoconservatism is just that, except what you're trying to spread is free-market capitalism, because you've been marinating in it all this time and think it's probably a good idea

Watching healthy people my age clamor to get an experimental vaccine that doesn't provide immunity, doesn't protect against either infection or transmission, so that they can 'safely' go to public places - especially those places that will be utilizing a 'vaccine passport' so as to not 'put others at risk' - is definitely doing something to my brain.

quote:

On August 12, 1987, Army Captain Larry Adams-Thompson reported to the authorities that his three-year-old daughter, who had attended the Child Development Center during the period of Hambright's alleged crimes, had become visibly frightened upon seeing LTC Aquino and his wife at the Army's post-exchange that day and called them "Mikey" and "Shamby." In a subsequent interview by an FBI agent, the girl implicated "Mikey," "Shamby" and "Mr. Gary" in the sexual molestation of her and other children at "Mr. Gary's house." The investigation of Hambright was expanded to include Aquino and his wife.

Although the SFPD discontinued its investigation of the Aquinos in September 1988 for lack of sufficient evidence, the CID continued and in August 1989 issued a report of investigation designating both Aquinos in the "title block" of the report and describing the various child-abuse and related criminal offenses investigated. The report concluded that the investigation was closed because all further leads involved adults who refused to cooperate, and the applicable threeyear statute of limitations had expired in June 1989.

Well, yeah. I hear ya, but I'm gonna counter with:

Look at all the Epstein adjacent scientists who are heralded by IFL Science (Pinker and Hawking were both at Little St. James) and it seems like it's been coopted at the very least. It started as a group on Facebook, right? Not saying all celebrity scientists are involved, but many probably are compromised.

Makes me wonder about the whole Dawkins worship that originated (?) on 4chan* back in 06 or 07. Probably 200 pages ago I posted that Dawkins was a pedophile apologist, having been molested at a boys' school himself. His attitude was "eh, pedos in positions of authority are gonna diddle kids. Whatcha gonna do?"

Dick Dorkins posted:

Referring to his early days at a boarding school in Salisbury, he recalled how one of the (unnamed) masters “pulled me on his knee and put his hand inside my shorts.”
He said other children in his school peer group had been molested by the same teacher but concluded: “I don’t think he did any of us lasting harm.”

As others said earlier, academia is basically a joke. It was completely throttled by the system for being too leftist-minded, and all that's left of it is a race to the bottom for DARPA funding or celebrity worship. If IFL Science isn't an op, it's definitely a symptom of one.

*Also 4chan was deffo operationalized by intelligence, look at the origins and fallout of Chanology, the rise of the alt right on /pol/, how the Russians were weaponizing memes, etc.

yeah I think it definitely fits in but celebrity scientists came before iflscience and really ifl is just hero worship that consolidates these scientists as the de facto authority. Tellingly, it plays the same role as movie review sites that race to publish essentially advertisements as news.

Who's MrBeast? I'm not in the loop on this one.

But the answer is probably yes.
