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!

Things I don't believe we can't conclusively resolve:
A) COVID's origin.
B) The Jeffrey Epstein story.
C) UAP.
D) JFK assassination.
E) Vegas Shooting.
F) Extent of 'Democracy Fortifying' in 2020.
G) Efficacy of Non-Vaccines.
H) Mysterious WEF 'Build Back Better' mantra.
I) Negative impacts of Trade known to have been suppressed.
J) Adulteration of BLS CPI measure of inflation.
K) Negative economic impacts of Immigration.
L) Sudden spike in fake 'Objective Third Party Fact Checking'.
M) Sudden "Diversity Equity Inclusion" explosion.
Q) Joe Biden's state of cognitive decline.
R) Nature of MSNBC campagin against Andrew Yang.
S) Nature of Dean Scream, Anti-Ron Paul and other interference in democracy by Mainstream media News.
T) Impact of loss of mandatory retirement on young people seeking work.
U) Rex84.
V) Collusion between National Academy and National Science foundation division of Policy Research and Analysis to fake demographic crisis in mid 1980s.
W) Lack on anyone building the significant & desperately needed new non-profit institutions despite skyhigh wealth inequality.
X) Loss of Academic Freedom across the board in Academe.
Y) Loss of the Lancet and other publications as trusted non-political sources of fact.
Z) The true nature of @EcoHealthNYC w its relationship to @doddtra & Dr A. Fauci.
Moral: much of this 'ambiguity' is serving the few.
A last point: I don't know what happened in most all of these (the NSF & BLS stories being exceptions). I really don't. The quality of my guesses is not particularly high. The quality of my suspicions as to what IS resolvable has been *considerably* higher, at least historically.
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.
I have spent a decade, literally, collecting hundreds of IG reports from the CIA via #FOIA. I've filed 13 requests and sued the agency 3 times since 2012. When @a_cormier_ & I started to review these docs earlier this year we spotted a disturbing pattern
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:
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. CC'ing @lexfridman @benshapiro @jordanbpeterson @SamHarrisOrg

This is a bigger conversation. There is a lot of behavior on Twitter that is intended to intimidate people that hides behind pro-social rationalizations.
Tell me if youâve heard the following excuses for *truly* antisocial posting:
A) Itâs perfectly legal.
B) Itâs just a joke!
C) The public has a right to know!
D) The person targeted is successful so itâs not a problem.
E) The data is publicly available.
F) Iâm just shitposting.
G) Oh, heâs an edge-lord.
H) She had it coming.
I) We give our targets a chance to respond.
J) He brought the issue up first.
K) She just has such a punchable face.
L) I donât view commies as people.
M) I donât view the AltRight as human.
N) First day on the internet?
O) No justice, no peace.
P) Gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette.
Q) Anyone who posts under their real name deserves whatâs coming.
R) Libtards are such whining crybabies.
S) Iâm a critic!
T) Iâm saving the public from charlatans.
U) Well, my audience liked it.
V) Famous people are asking for it.
W) Iâm a journalist.
X) Chapelle is way worse than I am.
Y) Iâm just a small account.
Z) Itâs fun.
Ok. Now what?
The 1st thing to say is that a lot of those excuses are being used to cover up intentionally interpersonally destructive behavior. That is, folks who WANT to hurt others are generally on the look out for how they can hurt people and NOT pay the social price of being a psychopath.
MORAL I: If you enjoy the pain from hurting other named people, you are generally going to find a way to explain that what you are doing is for the good of the world. That is, *every* sadist can find an excuse between âThis is normal.â and âI do it for society. Thank me later.â
How can you tell the difference between a psychopath and say a true comedian, journalist, etc? Psychopaths do not attempt to minimize damage to families. Regular folks try to target institutions before named individuals. They regularly attempt to give others generosity of spirit.
MORAL II: Excuses work because they muddy the water of abuse. The above excuses are appropriated from contexts where they make sense. But most internet critics are nothing of the kind. A criticism helps us course-correct. A stalker doesnât want you to improve. They want anguish.
MORAL III: A lot of what is visible on Twitter hides behavior offsite, and even offline. An apparent Twitter critic may be real-life stalker/sadist. Thereâs no way to understand what is happening to public figures like @elonmusk by just looking at Twitter. This is just surface.
MORAL IV: Many people on Twitter feel that the very rich on the site have so much money that they never need to worry about anything. This is close to being the dumbest idea ever.
Remember: Any billionaire with a child they love is vulnerable to any psycho with an opportunity.
MORAL V: Free speech is about restraining ourselves w/ culture so that we donât need rules to tell us what we can say. Itâs NOT a free-for-all for sadists. Free speech would NEVER develop in a culture in which Mores were not strong, shared and effective in prohibiting sociopathy.
FINAL MORAL: If you want to be a critic, a journalist, a comedian, or even a troll, develop a code of ethics. Donât hybridize w/ abuse Check in w/ yourself as to whether youâre really working out abuse, rage, envy or status issues. Try to minimize unnecessary damage to others.
My thoughts anyway. Eager to hear yours. đ
Shabbat Shalom to one and all.
Monthly Reminder Moral: itâs really really really hard to fake a field. Economic Index Numbers like CPI are not real numbers. They are naturally group-valued *FIELDS* that would be nearly impossible to fake and manipulate.
The *entire* subject is off. Peer review wonât help. đ https://t.co/b7UztQB0L4
I think this isnât right.
We have a world where institutions BLATANTLY lie in the vague direction of the truth to make the truthâŚuhâŚpunchier. More viral.
Some people, upon detecting the lies (e.g. âClimate modeling is settled scienceâ), decide thereâs no truth in it *at all*.
đ´On the Republican Party: âBecause of Trumpâs fanaticism, the worshipful base of the Republican Party barely regards climate change as a serious problem. Thatâs a death warrant to the species.â
Many believe there is no chance COVID was Zoonotic because we are lying about the lab by saying it has to be Zoonotic. But we donât know.
Many people are convinced Ivermectin is a total COVID solution since weâre obviously lying about human medicine as Horse Dewormer. It isnât.
No one knows if Epstein killed himself. We just know our papers arenât aggressively reporting that story. So many assume Epsteinâs death is fake or an obvious hit. Because it could be either, but our lame institutions donât dare ask even the easy questions. So we lurch to oppose.
Many people donât believe that Russia/Ukraine is a threat or even real because they can see the obvious daily spin. But it is a huge threat and an atrocity. Weâre just lying and spinning parts of it.
They donât believe the Fed has ANY function because it does do some bad stuff.
Moral: if you want a better model of Trump Supporters try this one: they prefer idiosyncratic lying/spin/distortion by a gadfly as an antidote to coordinated credentialed institutional polished lying with amazing production values. Further, they donât think *anyone* offers truth.
But they will react to spin and hype as if there is ZERO substance behind it if that spin and hype are coordinated across multiple venues, institutions & talking heads.
They arenât principally embracing Trump or idiocy. They are rejecting obvious coordination of hype.
That.đ
One example, offered freely and without my asking:
That would be me. A lifetime studying science but have never spent one second looking into climate change. Too many experiences with the left's consensus herd. Don't care about Ukraine, either. Anything they're all in on I ignore.
I donât think there is any history of my ever commenting on @SBF_FTX.
It is because I never deeply understood what was going on when it was explained to me. Iâm not going to lie: I felt dumb.
Moral: be very careful celebrating success that you donât understand for its own sake.
Other things that made/make me feel dumb:
Bernie Madoffâs Returns
COVID origin questions = Racism
Fauci
Hilaryâs Inevitability
Quantum Gravity
Jeffrey Epsteinâs CCY trading Claims
CPI Construction
UFO/UAP
Chinese Graduate Students in STEM
Open Borders
Defund The Police
DEI
NIH
2023
Imagine if it were leaked that COVID came from an NIH grant: âThis-has-no-business-being-in-the-public-domain.â
Or if Epstein were foreign intelligence operating with tacit approval of the US IC: âThis-is-not-intended-for-public-consumption.â
Capisce?
My point: you public servants have protected AND failed too much. You smear *every* one of us who merely trips over your mile-wide trail of incompetent statecraft from Bagram to Wuhan that passes through 71st St Manhattan & east of Dayton.
MORAL: Protect less or succeed more. đ
2025
I think many of you made a huge mistake about the âClient Listâ. About âLolita Expressâ. About âPedophile Island.â That is, if the goal was to use Epstein to get justice, and put an end to this abuse of children and civilians by the sickest members of the worldâs ICs.
You had fun with memes. And you let an IC sponsored pedophile get away. We were supposed to be pushing the press:
âWhy donât you ask **any** truly detailed questions about a supposed multi billion dollar FX hedge fund that may not have existed at all?â That wasâŚand isâŚthe first order of business.
We canât know exactly what he did, where and when.
But there is no way to fake this hedge fund. Either he had an enormous fund or he didnât. We can get all the details if he did. Or push as to why they donât exist.
I donât know if he killed himself. I donât even know if he is dead. I donât know if there is âthe Epstein client listâ.
The thing we know best is that he claimed to manage a multibillion dollar fund that ***cannot*** be hidden. Where are its records and employees?????????â Why does the press avoid reporting on this fund like the plague???? It was headquartered at Villard House for Christ sake. Madison Avenue. Who liquidated it? Who worked there? wtf?
This manager to this mystery fund is like a captain who supposedly has one of the worldâs largest mega yachtsâŚthat somehow isnât registered or flagged. It leaves no wake. No shipyard built it or serviced it. It has no crew. No harbor master has ever seen it.
âItâs so quiet that Lockheed asked to study it. Itâs said to be made of optically neural superconducting ice crystals that form only from the tears of virgin sea lions cooled to absolute zero so it canât be seen. He brilliantly purchased a Bugis Prahu Charter that was grandfathered in before the 1609 Mare Liberum was in force so that he alone may sail the seas without ever communicating with other vessels or harbors. It is said that his carbon fiber anchor and chain stretched to the bottom of the Challenger Deep so that he didnât need to approach the shore for years on end.â
Câmon.
The key was that he wasnât a âdisgraced financierâ. He was a construct fitted with a mysterious poorly drawn backstory. And that construct probably belonged to several Allied nation states:
âHeâs so brilliant that he only accepts people who surrender total control of their wealth under power of attorney. He is closed to anyone who doesnât have 1 Billion dollars minimum. In fact: his investor list is so discreet, and is said to be so secretive and closely guarded that he has only one known client.â
Did you not realize that outside investors are a liability to a cover story or front? Beware any super secretive fund that has a story why they dont want family office or institutional money. This is not the only one btw.
HenceâŚthe exclusivity.
Why was he obsessed by Gravity? He was almost certainly a front used for funding edgy science, information gathering, control, etc away from normal channels.
It wasnât one thing. He wasnât a creepy front companyâŚhe was a mall filled with different business providing different goods and services. It wasnât all about raping kids. Some collection of people invested something like 9 figures in creating a weird 11-12 figure fairy tale via leverage. And it was used for a lot of things. It was called Jeffrey Epstein.
Moral: focus on the cover story. Not the memes. Go after the press first. Figure out exactly who is stopping the fund from being dissected. Focus on the non reporting.
This is what Anti-Interesting is all about. Use it.
One manâs opinion. đ
Fascinating exchange gentlemenâŚso odd.
Why donât you also bring up the metaplectic correction and point out that I donât mention that?
Or ordering considerations of classical operators?
That would allow you both to cast even more (unsupported) aspersions.
In truth you are not making a deep point. You are making the quantum supremacy point that we should take classical limits of quantum systems. Not naively quantize classical theoriesâŚlike we used to do when we were succeeding.
Yet the Standard Model stubbornly remains a classical field theory that got quantized. Mysteriously dodging near certain death on all sides. What are the odds!!
Well, there might be deep classical reasons for that improbable outcome that escape the quantum supremacists. I meanâŚitâs just possible.
MORAL: Not everyone is an ignorant idiot just because they think your community is 40+ years stalled groupthinking this exact way. I donât think you are ignorant or stupid. I donât think you are pseudoscientists. Or grifters. Or any of that. I just think you are wrong in your total approach. Thatâs just science. The quantum gravity crowd has demanded a victory parade for 40+ years over all other approaches while it fails to launch year after year after year. That is not science. Iâm sorry. I donât make that rule.
MORAL II: You might want to bring up polarization independence and the difficulty of proving (projective) flatness in the polarization discussion, if you want to be even more condescending. You might also laugh to yourselves that the classical hadron and lepton sectors donât even separately quantize! I donât know why this doesnât occur to you. And finally, you might want to assert that I am ignorant of Groenewoldâvan Hove and have a chuckle about that too. Just a suggestion.
Have fun. And good day, gentlemen. Keep up the high standards and good work.
Buddy, we're not doing "quantum supremacy". But if you wanna quantise a classical theory you must work for it. You don't get to yell "self-quantising" and call it a day
You must check topological conditions & choose/prove independence of polarisation & the prequantum line bundle
Which is both INCREDIBLE and difficult as it stands. Yes? No? I mean I think I get this.
Like itâs almost a miracle that it works at all:
Now you're getting it! :)
And not only difficult but often simply false. Many classical phase spaces dont admit prequantum line bundles. Others don't have a unique one
And the choice of polarisation can be the difference between a finite- and infinite-dimensional Hilbert space!
âBuddyâ
âNow you're getting it! :)â
You guys are just so full of yourselves. What are youâŚin your 20s? Born around AdS/CFT? Am I your problem student finally coming along to âget itâ?
You think I canât understand you! Right? Like you are my teacher or something. Adorable.
I forget what this community is like. You do realize you are still playing with toy models working a million miles away from actual laboratory physics?
Take a look out your window Tim: No quarks. No neutrinos. No generations. You are on the train to NERPH (Not Even Remotely Physics). You just donât know it. Before long you will leave for a job so you can buy a house or retire without ever having made contact with physical reality. As a physics person. Wake up.
Youâre not even in spacetime Tim. You are likely playing with Riemann surfaces. Your âHiggs Fieldsâ are often valued in the adjoint bundles. Your metrics are often Euclidean signature. Your SUSY is likely unsupported by any LHC superpartners. Etc. Etc.
You actually think I donât get it because if I did âget itâ I would certainly agree with you.
Like I canât read what you wrote here or I wouldnât be saying these things:
If those two little interjections are enough to set you off like this, you really need to get your temper in check lmao
Remember, champ: brevity is the soul of wit
Yet your âPhysicsâ thesis is 153 pages.
Take care, slugger. https://t.co/LMn2in0Bzf
