25: The Construct: Jeffrey Epstein: Difference between revisions

<p><em>00:47:45</em><br>So what happened inside of the scientific enterprise is that many scientists had some memory from inside of the system when professors would in fact have, potentially, second homes, or even third homes, where they would be paid at a level that was commensurate with financiers, or high-priced lawyers. That, in essence, the children of academic families were growing up, with the children of very well to do families because there wasn’t such income and asset inequality in the United States. I believe that the need to pay the scientific community, particularly the top members of the scientific community, at a far higher level, is not a question of taxpayer dollars. It’s a question of, first of all, being fair to the community that created our economy—those are not taxpayer dollars, they’re scientific dollars, in my opinion; we can argue that at some other point—but it’s also a question of national interest. That is, that is completely irresponsible for us to pretend that the market for scientific research talent should be determined by your ability to teach undergraduates. </p>

<p><em>00:48:50</em><br>We should probably decouple the teaching and research enterprises, we should probably get rid of the majority of our research enterprise, and we should take care of the people who are obeying power laws at a very high level for the national interest. It’s not a question about overpaying them. It’s a question of we are leaving a valuable asset unguarded, and I believe that Jeffrey Epstein was attempting, in part, to gain control of that asset. That’s why people like George Church, or Robert Trivers or Stephen Hawking, or any one of a number of people, like Lisa Randall, were found on Jeffrey Epstein’s island. </p>

<p><em>00:49:29</em><br>By the way, I think it’s very important to stop using the fun phrases, Pedophile Island, and Lolita Express, when you have people who almost certainly are not part of any kind of orgiastic culture like Lisa Randall or Betsy Devine. It’s ridiculous. In part what we’re doing is we’re turning a salacious story into a very dangerous national emergency, if, in fact, Jeffrey Epstein was up to something very different than the mainstream story would have you believe. </p>

<p><em>00:49:58</em><br>So why is it that I am so disturbed by this and coming forward in this way? Well, there are a number of reasons, but one of the reasons is that I came to think about the following issue, which I find potentially dispositive. I’ve started asking people who knew Jeffrey Epstein, "did the character you met, whoever that person was, impress you as being capable, characterologically, of taking his own life out of desperation when he’s still clearly had many cards to play?” </p>

<p><em>00:50:35</em><br>He almost certainly had many secrets involving very powerful people. The man I met was so confident and so contemptuous of normal morality that I don’t believe he was even bothered particularly by the reputation of being a pedophile from his previous stay as a guest of the state of Florida. I believe that Jeffrey Epstein, in fact, was contemptuous. He thought it was ridiculous that he would be jailed for such a thing, and he thought that while it’s a matter of petty morality for you and me to mull over, he simply had to make sure that he didn’t run afoul of the system again. </p>

<p><em>00:51:18</em><br>Alright. Assume that I’m correct, that he was such a person who would laugh at the shame that others would bestow upon him. Then something very interesting happens. As you go down the various branches of the decision tree, you find that there has to be another unseen force. If this is true, is he dead or not dead? Well, I can put a small weight on the idea that he isn’t even dead. People’s deaths have been faked before. I don’t think that that’s what happened, but it’s possible. </p>

<p><em>00:51:51</em><br>Or, he could be dead. Then he could be dead either by his own hand or the hand of another. If he is dead by his own hand, it could be an induced suicide, as we saw Sullivan was trying to induce in Martin Luther King. Or it could be, of his own hand. If his own hand, could it be out of fear, out of shame or out of a sense of duty to something more? If he was in fact murdered, a whole would’ve had to been punched in the timeline so that somebody could have gotten to him or there would have to be a tremendous coincidence that somehow he was left alone in a jail, which had not had a history of suicides in over a decade, if I recall correctly. </p>

<p><em>00:52:36</em><br>In any of these branches of the decision tree, something is at play and something is at work, unless you believe that somehow I have it wrong, and that people who knew Jeffrey Epstein would support the idea that he would take his own life out of fear or shame, which I find essentially impossible, given the character that he chose to project, or that the actor playing the financier and wiz kid Jeffrey Epstein chose to project to me. I’ve checked this with several people, and, in general, everyone had the same impression that he was completely contemptuous of normal human beings with their petty moralities. </p>

 

<p><em>00:54:02</em><br>My belief is that this was a poorly constructed operation, and that when it comes to light which intelligence community it was, we are in danger of countries that I care a great deal about being thought to have constructed a pedophilic honeytrap, using kompromat, to use the Russian word, for that which would be used to control people in order to gain some sort of a geopolitical strategic advantage. </p>
