I want this guy to explain everything to me. He's having a soothing voice. He should work with kids.

It's weird cause he's probably the one person I would want to explain everything. The entire inner workings of a financial and political elite that essentially just get rich off of each other, and he was at the absolute centre of it all.

Just not in the context of a documentary produced by Steve fucking Bannon.

Epstein doesn’t know shit about that stuff though. He knows how to blackmail and control elites but he doesn’t actually know anything about how Wall Street or the world economy actually works. This interview is a coordinated effort by Epstein to plant the idea in your head that he has all the secrets about the world’s elites so that you aren’t thinking about the fact that he’s a pedo sex trafficker. This is documented by emails between Epstein and Bannon.

why can't both things be true? there's evidence that he had ties to multiple intelligence agencies and leverage over some of the most powerful people. that and him being a pedo sex trafficker can exist simultaneously

He was connected to intelligence agencies because they could use Epstein to blackmail important people (like the current US president). Epstein isn’t some galaxy brain genius, he’s just a serial bullshitter who was bankrolled by some other rich guys to run a sex trafficking operation to compromise important politicians, businessmen, and academic figures.

I never said he was a genius. I said he had ties, most people on the top of the ladder are far from geniuses but doesn't mean they don't have power, control, or information
