2019[edit]
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 Maxwellâs kid, POTUSes...and there are 1000s???
The NYT is now OJ looking for the âreal killers.â
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
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.
Do you remember when JFK took his own life in Dealy Plaza? No?
Well thatâs how this reads to me.
This never was a self-made currency-trading genius billionaire. Almost certainly, this was a huge program. And someone fââd it up by hiring Jeffery Epstein as its face & front end.
2020[edit]
Iâve spent a lot of time on this. The story here is not Epstein or Maxwell. Itâs 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
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 Ghislaineâs passports were last seen at a border?
C) Is Epsteinâs death a âmessage killingâ to us all?
D) Can you the press tell us the whereabouts of the detailed records of Epsteinâs *trading* operation from âVillard Houseâ in Manhattan?
E) If the hedge fund currency trading never took place, was the source of Epsteinâs wealth the missing assets & pensions of Robert Maxwell?
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.
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 youâll call us âAlex Jonesâ or kill us? Really?
And for those of you who ask why I never mentioned Israel and the Mossad publicly.. Here is your answer: I donât 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, âThe Jewsâ or Mossad.
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 wonât be entire peoples at fault.
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!
Now go investigate the story! If he wasnât 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!
Or, possibly, âShe may have fled to New York with funds which accelerated the collapse of her father Robert Maxwellâs business empire, propping up a former HS math teacher as if he were a mysterious genius financier & Billionaire.â
Just how does @abcnews know which is true?? https://t.co/4pQRVjIiYf
This is the same mind numbing point over and over again. There is an unproven narrative here. If news media are propping it up, why are we treating it as news rather than storytelling without proof?
I claim that Jeffrey Epsteinâs fortune was likely NOT generated as a financier.
In short: is @abcnews telling us what they know (as is their mandate), or are they keeping from us what they know?
2021[edit]
Itâs so weird what the internet chooses to infer. Obviously Iâm worried about a tie back to some unit of Israeli intelligence. Itâs Robert Maxwellâs daughter for Godsake.
The internet fixates generally & internet Israel critics more than most. Internet inference is very weird.
Some of my motivation is to communicate that *if* some unit in Israel is ultimately directly implicated, it sure as hell isnât âThe Jewsâ or âIsraelâ that is behind this. That ordinary Jews would risk everything to stop such techniques. And Iâm willing to make the point concrete.
Do I know that it is Israel behind this? No. Do I think one nation acted alone? Iâm 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*.
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, Iâm 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.
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.
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.
2022[edit]
Academe. We still havenât 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 didnât want to look at the history of Permagon Press and its aftermath.
Please see my current Pinned Tweet.
Peer review isnât what we think it is. Look at how Robert Maxwellâs Pergamon Press made his family rich by extorting universities to âcompleteâ their libraries by creating journals that should not exist at prices universities could not afford.
Academics have to be quite sensitive. Even the bold of academe donât 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⊠;-)
Donât take it from me. Look at the history yourself with these search terms:
History of Peer Review in Science
Pergamon Press
Number of academic Journals over time
Cost of Academic journal subscription
Reviewer compensation
Tuition over time
Good luck.
Am I mad? Not in the slightest. As to why scientists canât afford to look at the truth, the author correctly put his finger on that issue too: Academic research has what I call a âHotel Californiaâ problem.
The author may have publicly checked out of legacy journal work. ButâŠ
2025[edit]
Your reminder that *all* science before 1965 was not âPeer Reviewedâ and hence is totally unreliable. Allegedly.
Medical Peer Review starts then because of the passage of the Social Security Amendments of 1965 establishing Medicare. Scientific Peer Review comes out of Robert Maxwell, Pergamon Press and ultimately the Baumann Amendment a decade later responding to âMan, a Course of Study.â
2026[edit]
The Maxwell treachery is *finally* going mainstream!
Wait until we learn that the âancient practice of Peer Reviewâ is a totally faked history, retconned into science.
Roberts Merton & Maxwell have done incalculable damage to science.
Ancient Peer Review is fake. Pass it on.
