Trying to build a haystack to hide the Space Needle?

We stumble on a gigantic program w synapses connecting the UK royal family, Harvard/MIT/Stanford, Bill Gates, Kompromat, Robert Maxwell’s kid, POTUSes...and there are 1000s???

The NYT is now OJ looking for the “real killers.”

Sep 16, 2019

It's good to see the outrage at Jeffey Epstein. But there are thousands more Jeffrey Epsteins out there, and tens of thousands of victims. So here's how we can channel our anger to make a difference. My Sunday column, just posted: https://nyti.ms/2LuQK5S

Sep 16, 2019

In pretending this is mostly about a single wealthy sex offender attended by a never ending series of miraculous coincidences of ever escalating improbability, this is no longer the elephant in the living room. This is the rotting Blue Whale at the US national thanksgiving table.

Sep 16, 2019

Do you remember when JFK took his own life in Dealy Plaza? No?

Well that’s how this reads to me.

This never was a self-made currency-trading genius billionaire. Almost certainly, this was a huge program. And someone f——d it up by hiring Jeffery Epstein as its face & front end.

1:19 PM · Sep 16, 2019

2020

I’ve spent a lot of time on this. The story here is not Epstein or Maxwell. It‘s the bizarre mission of our US press to misdirect us. The questions were always the same:

Epstein 'madam' Ghislaine Maxwell 'is a foreign spy hiding in Israel' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7843659/Ghislaine-Maxwell-reportedly-foreign-spy-hiding-Israel.html via @MailOnline

ERW-X-post-1212785538098286592.jpg
5:19 PM · Jan 2, 2020

A) Can you the press seek an on-the-record official denial that Epstein was operating/trafficking attached to US and/or foreign intelligence?

B) Can the press tell us where Ghislaine’s passports were last seen at a border?

C) Is Epstein’s death a “message killing” to us all?

5:19 PM · Jan 2, 2020

D) Can you the press tell us the whereabouts of the detailed records of Epstein’s *trading* operation from “Villard House” in Manhattan?

E) If the hedge fund currency trading never took place, was the source of Epstein’s wealth the missing assets & pensions of Robert Maxwell?

5:19 PM · Jan 2, 2020

F) Why are *none* of the esteemed members of the commentariat conspicuously calling for a second Church/Pike style investigation of excesses of our intelligence communities? WTF?

G) Many famous members of the press follow this account closely. Do I not exist? You do write to me.

5:19 PM · Jan 2, 2020

H) Are you thinking, whoever the hell you are, that you can just intimidate us all? I get that you can get to anyone anywhere. Big deal. Can you get to MILLIONS of us anytime anywhere? Do you see this going away? Are we *all* afraid you‘ll call us “Alex Jones” or kill us? Really?

5:19 PM · Jan 2, 2020

And for those of you who ask why I never mentioned Israel and the Mossad publicly.. Here is your answer: I don’t connect the dots for you.

I have been on this early out of a love of the US & Israel. You deserved to know that this is not some plot of CIA, “The Jews” or Mossad.

5:19 PM · Jan 2, 2020

If this turns out to be in part an evil intelligence operation trafficking minors, it will be the responsibility of some *tiny* number of raging assholes. Maybe Saudi assholes, maybe Jewish villains and maybe evil CIA folks. Who knows. But it won’t be entire peoples at fault.

5:19 PM · Jan 2, 2020

As an ordinary US Jew who thought he spotted an OBVIOUS Intelligence operation in 2003-4, I wanted to be on the other side of this thing when it blew, so I could support the US and Israeli ICs which need to be strong & secret but non evil. So now Daily Mail has finally reported!

5:19 PM · Jan 2, 2020

Moral: remember whoever it turns out was behind Epstein, it wasn’t “The Americans” or “the Jews”. US Jews were also both outspoken & tiptoeing around this mess for 15Yrs. Epstein was an obvious cancer. But cancers are treatable. It is the US press misdirection that’s metastatic.

5:19 PM · Jan 2, 2020

Now go investigate the story! If he wasn’t an asset get the official denials. Discuss a redo of Church/Pike. If there is nothing to find, we deserve to know. Is it our damn country or not? Simple question. Is the press there to get the stories or to kill them? Get this over with!

5:19 PM · Jan 2, 2020

2021

It’s so weird what the internet chooses to infer. Obviously I’m worried about a tie back to some unit of Israeli intelligence. It’s Robert Maxwell’s daughter for Godsake.

The internet fixates generally & internet Israel critics more than most. Internet inference is very weird.

4:37 PM · Mar 6, 2021

Some of my motivation is to communicate that *if* some unit in Israel is ultimately directly implicated, it sure as hell isn’t “The Jews” or “Israel” that is behind this. That ordinary Jews would risk everything to stop such techniques. And I’m willing to make the point concrete.

4:37 PM · Mar 6, 2021

Do I know that it is Israel behind this? No. Do I think one nation acted alone? I’m not even positive that Epstein was state sponsored. What do I believe? That Israel and the US WERE part of a GROUP of national ICs that turned a blind eye to child sex trafficking at a *minimum*.

4:37 PM · Mar 6, 2021

How big is that group? Well, I believe *If* it exists it contains at least 2 nations not 1. And while I love Israel and have lived there, I’m very worried about the universal silence over this.

Why am I doing this? In part to stand up for 2 countries I *love* & fear went wrong.

4:37 PM · Mar 6, 2021

Israel has had some terrible operations (e.g. Lillehammer) like the US (e.g. Cointelpro). And their strength comes from being strong enough to face those horrors when the happen.

And I believe in my 2 favorite nations enough to ask the questions whose answers I fear to my soul.

4:37 PM · Mar 6, 2021

I have said this before. But the fixation on Israel never rests. So neither will its honest critics and its defenders. I would like to think I can count my self among both their ranks. End.

4:37 PM · Mar 6, 2021

2022

Academe. We still haven’t woken up to the destruction of Robert Maxwell, Peer Review, oversight & transparency.

If you still believe that peer review has always been the gold standard in science, you simply didn’t want to look at the history of Permagon Press and its aftermath.

12:00 AM · Jan 23, 2022


Please see my current Pinned Tweet.

Peer review isn’t what we think it is. Look at how Robert Maxwell’s Pergamon Press made his family rich by extorting universities to “complete” their libraries by creating journals that should not exist at prices universities could not afford.

4:01 PM · May 27, 2022


Academics have to be quite sensitive. Even the bold of academe don’t want to talk about how we quietly switched from editors holding the reins at a few high quality journals, to peer review mysteriously taking over as the number of lower tier journals exploded.

Crazy talk
 ;-)

Don’t take it from me. Look at the history yourself with these search terms:

History of Peer Review in Science

Pergamon Press

Robert Maxwell

Number of academic Journals over time

Cost of Academic journal subscription

Reviewer compensation

Tuition over time

Good luck.
