|content=So this just appears now!?! And what do we learn? That if "Sources and Methods" of the Intelligence Community might be compromised, prosecutors regularly decline to push for full prosecution EVEN IN THE CASE OF SEXUAL ABUSE of minors and INFANTS.
Bingo: Follow the Silence.
We have an undisclosed program; there's some kind of 'understanding' that we don't understand. I very well understand why we don't casually compromise "Sources & Methods". But trafficking kids is NOT casual business. Nor is USING them as part of 'Sources & Methods' for kompromat.
One question now creates 2 teams:
Team A) 'Sources & Methods' are above child trafficking in importance.
Team B) Child Trafficking is above any exemption for our 'Sources & Methods'.
I believe that if Epstein needed to use kids for S&M as Kompromat, we lost our plot entirely.
Seriously, I am not being naive here. If we have to abuse children to gain security for the country, maybe we don't have the right to a nation? If our intelligence community is so pathetic...look you get the idea. If the US isn't protecting kids from our own IC, we aren't the US.
I understand we may occassionally have to fell a monster overseas. I understand that sometimes there's a ticking time bomb and 'extraordinary methods' are needed. I understand that we must surveil people or engage in illegal acts while undercover.
But you-can't-use-kids. Period.
Is there some GIANT understanding involving our journalists & news desks that when the IC says 'Sources & Methods' we all just say 'Ok. Anything you say boys.' Like, for example with @arobach being shut down on Epstein: https://youtube.com/watch?v=vjwf9F_v5cI&ab_channel=FoxNews
Abuse of Kids > Sources & Methods
Notice how everything adds up if there's a giant understanding that Sources & Methods trump everything protecting innocent children? You just say 'Sources & Methods are at risk'. Explains Acosta, Robach, Veritas, etc. Boom: No more Epstein mysteries. It's all 'Sources & Methods'.
Q: Why no discussion of Villard House records?
A: Sources &  Methods.
Q: Why no investigation of Epstein's Hedge Fund's trading partners & brokerage?
A: Sources & Methods.
Q: Why do editors claim no one cares about Epstein?
A: Sources & Methods.
Q: Project Veritas?
A: S&M.
Q: Why report Epstein was a disgraced Financier when no one seems to have traded with him?
A: Sources & Methods.
Q: Why so little interest in covering Ghislaine relative to Kyle Rittenhouse?
A: Sources & Methods.
Q: Why did no one ask where GM last crossed a border?
A: S & M.
Moral: Our kids cant vote. We bring them into the world totally dependent on us. If we have a country that deserves an Intelligence Service, we have a right to know that kids are 100% OFF LIMITS as regards 'Sources & Methods' by the IC of us or our allies. Period.
Kids >>> S & M.
P.S. And...I appear to be back to being throttled more agressively after several threads were throttled less agressively or not at all by twitter.
At least at first on this thread. We will see whether that continues.

|content=“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump booms from a speakerphone. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.” - @NYMag
What was that about? Jeffrey Epstein was not a “disgraced financier”, 14 year olds are not “Beautiful women…on the younger side.”
Was Trump sending us a message, a warning or a confession? Whatever it was, it’s a big deal. Time to revisit this article:
https://nymag.com/nymetro/news/people/n_7912/#print
I once again note people reading things in that I didn’t write. I can’t help you. The difference between making a confession and sending us a warning about Epstein covers a *lot* of possible territory.
Think before assuming.

|content=Many appear to be on the lookout for any and all issues that allow authoritarians to concentrate power. So far we have:
A) Child trafficking.
B) Climate catastrophe.
C) “X is actually a public health issue.”
D) Society is Structurally bigoted/Evil.
E) “It’s a PANDEMIC people!”
B) and E) are traditionally somewhat compelling but are clearly now being used by leaders. The others are transparently not compelling. Epstein taught us no one in office cares about child trafficking enough to get to the bottom of what was going on w/ our government and Epstein.
Disagree? Okay: Hold one brutal hearing this year on Epstein, the records of his mysterious Hedge Fund, child trafficking and any links between Epstein and Intelligence communities.
I’ll wait. Will apologize if it happens.
Cc: @alexstamos
So the problem is that climate and pandemic may require coordinated action. But there is seemingly no one honest & competent enough to forgo the opportunity to spread authoritarian control to surveillance, censorship, and expectations of obedience inconsistent with free society.
I’d support the need of public spirited government to narrowly tell us what to do in the most limited of legitimate circumstances requiring coordination beyond our usual.
I don’t support what I’m seeing which is institutional fetish for using pandemic, climate, etc for control.
We have to rid ourselves of a class of authoritarians who want to turn everything into a catastrophe requiring the surrender of our personal freedom & privacy.
By the same token, sometimes there is a war or pandemic. And you may need war-time leaders over peacetime careerists.🙏

|content=“In today’s regulatory environment It’s virtually impossible to violate rules. And this is something the public really doesn’t understand...It’s impossible for a violation to go undetected; certainly not for an extended period of time.” -Former NASDQ Chairman, Bernie Madoff
This is what institutional betrayal looks like when you stare straight in its eyes: relaxed, confident, respectable, smooth, knowledgeable.
It’s COVID pronouncements. Or String Theory. Or CPI revisions. Or “Labor Shortages”. Or fast-track trade treaties:
https://youtu.be/ab1NTIlO-FM
Many years ago 2002-6, I would give talks about Madoff & Epstein using “Black Arts Capital LLC” as a proxy, with the tag line “We’d tell you what we’re doing, but then...”
I guessed BM might be front-running his own business. Boy was I wrong on the specifics.
RIP Bernie Madoff.

|content=I think folks get confused that Jeffrey Epstein was valued for providing sex to his circle.
I don’t think that’s right. Many in his circle had access to sex.
You have to take a next step to see it.
The thing Epstein offered that his friends just couldn’t get...was silence.
Think I’m wrong? Then where are any competent probing articles on this story in national news media.
Every one of us who talks about this story knows fear. I do. All the time. Fear is the product. Sex silenced by terror.
Are you a reporter? Then why haven’t you filed the story?
Ask for the hedge fund filings. Ask on the whereabouts of the contents of his Villard House office. Then try to get some rest.
Not so easy as it sounded right?
No, Epstein provided a blackout curtain of silence woven from implied terror. And you need state cooperation for that.
Usual Disclaimer: I am not feeling suicidal and have no further knowledge beyond what I put out months ago. I am not a threat as I only met him once briefly and have no other intimate secrets requiring my silence. I’m now just a broken record that everyone has heard before.

|content=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. https://t.co/J7rnjkNDYO
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.
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*.
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.
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.

|content=What would you say to the same needs in reverse? I, for example, want to know if Jeffrey Epstein had ties to the US intelligence community and has some measure of immunity to operate as a pedophile & trafficker.
Q: Was his Florida arrest what you call a “Blue on Blue” screw up?
Q: I want to know if I am risking my life by repeatedly asking why no national news organization asks you on the obvious direct on-the-record questions about his financial records or ties to the intelligence communities including the FBI. Am I?
Q: Do our sources and methods permit a blind eye to child sex trafficking by foreign controlled agents?
Q: Does the FBI work with tech platforms to control the reach of citizens who ask these questions to you that the @nytimes @washingtonpost, @cnn & @npr conspicuously will not?
Q: Do you have the financial records & filings of Jeffrey Epstein’s supposed “hedge fund” offices at Villard house? If not, why not? If so, was there a Foreign Currency trading fund?
Q: Can the FBI be trusted with End to End encryption if it will not answer these questions? 🙏
Note Added To Thread: There is no way in hell any account of this size taking this crazy risk to ask direct questions to the FBI about Jeffrey Epstein and the Intelligence community has engagement numbers this low without interference from Twitter.
@jack: can you hear me?
Please quote tweet the top tweet in thread to counteract downranking by Twitter. We need these questions asked by our news media. Make this a story. Force them to simply do their job on what could be the biggest story of the decade & don’t ever call @TwitterSafety ‘Safety’ again.

|content=Thanks for the invitation. I can try to explain my concern.
There really *is* a problem w MAGA, Trump, Qanon & conspiracy theories running rampant.  And it will result in death & destruction if it spins out of control.
However it is being fueled by those who claim to fight it.
The entire war over fact checking is a war of 2 low resolution teams.
One team wants absolute freedom to spread wild eyed theories that just about everything is a psyop or a false flag.
The other team wants to impose institutional consensus reality on everyone via media & tech.
Unfortunately, I can’t live under either. So each of the warring parties thinks I’m against them & for the other team. In their mentalities if you aren’t on their simplistic team you are, de facto, working for the other side. There’s no basic concept of *responsible* heterodoxy.
No the Freemasons do not run everything on behalf of pedophile reptilians who faked Sandy Hook with crisis actors.
Yes there are/were conspiracies behind '''Epstein''', H1B, @MSNBC, PPE, climate science, the “Great Moderation”, Great Reset...everywhere institutions want a “consensus”.
Having spent a good portion of my 20s at Harvard, I know *exactly* how this game works. Our betters sit down and try to figure out how to control others behind closed doors. They see themselves as the intrinsically enlightened people who need to do the thinking for all of us.
When they wanted to cut our Social Security payments & raise our taxes they opted to try to change the CPI rather than pass legislation. When they wanted to pay less for scientists they knew to keep *silent* about NSF Labor Shortage claims even though such shortages don’t exist.
These are the folks who tell you “masks don’t work” rather than “save masks for doctors as we forgot to restock them and moved all manufacturing to China like morons”. They will then spin on a dime to tell you “Only bad dumb people don’t wear masks”. This is the worst of Harvard.
So I don’t want Alex Jones and Qanon nor do I want @TwitterSafety, @msnbc and @Harvard. I see them as very different forms of the same thing: people who want to take away our ability to see clearly.
And, I assure you, @Harvard tries to paint anyone it can’t control as dangerous.
So, my belief is that anyone who rejects/questions Davos, Consensus Reality, Institutional Narrative, Public Health Campaigns, High Immigration, Peer Review, Primary Election Coverage, Trust & Safety...will be treated as Alex Jones sooner or Later.
'''This is Managed Reality ™.'''
I cannot live in Managed Reality ™ because I think it defeats the purpose of being a human being. It negates being an American. It abdicates responsibility for our children.
I have defeated Harvard about half the times we have fought. How? Because they just aren’t that good.
Managed Reality ™ has a weak spot. It’s not run by our A-team anymore. Fauci isn’t Francis Crick. Biden isn’t Elon. Janet Yellen isn’t Satoshi.
In general, the A-Team is going independent because tech/media/Ed are enforcing way too much conformity through personal destruction.
So why am I worried?
Well, I’ve been trying to save the institutions. It’s probably doomed, but almost no one is trying to do what I do: rescue the institutions from their death spiral by reinserting their critics in positions of prominence (eg Chomsky at MIT).
Hence my fear.
If I were a tech guy I’d retreat into wealth. If I were a professor I’d shut up and collect my salary with job security. If I was a politician or journalist I’d follow the other sheep.
But I’m a science guy, an American and a dad. And I want my kids to have a particular future.
Thanks.

|content=Normally I would think that our interests would be best served by self-investigation of the IC through redoing the Church/Pike Committees.
But given the hands closing around the throat of free unsurveiled action and open idea exchange, pardoning Assange and Snowden makes sense.
Or more simply put: if our bizarre press and elected representatives refuse to ASK about Jeffrey Epstein’s links to the Intelligence world, what choice do we have but pardoning those who do the work abdicated by government & the press while they cowardly refuse to do their jobs?
I should also say that the problem isn’t as simple as Assange & Snowden. Assume for the moment that they both acted in a principled fashion and did so with great care. You’d still have the issue that pardons send a signal to less principled actors which could be catastrophic.
We need an intelligence community we can trust to *not* be open. That is the conundrum we face. How do we gain oversight and protect ourselves against a secret world that we want to remain opaque?


This is a giant liability of not being able to rest on a shared national culture.
