Jeffrey Epstein

I read that book back when it was published, but have always wondered how much of it might have been mythologized. Memory that sticks out for me was their visit to Graceland, and then later the storm when they were flying and thought they were going to die so they put on the Elvis tape. “If they were going to go down, they were going to go down to the strains of The One that brought them all together,” or sumsuch epic awesomeness. Not sure if it was that book or a later one where I learned Zeppelin slipped-in a short Elvis tribute at every concert. I was probably reading it when Robert Plant’s “Little Sister” was a minor hit.

Interesting interview with Cernovich over this. Give a lot of background and detail you probably won't get in certain media circles...and what might be coming up next for him.
Thought this quote was very apt especially when thinking about this in comparison to the UK grooming scandal coverups.
"I don't see it as partison, I just think these people are all evil, both sides. Moral cowards and that's just the kind of people who end up in office."

It's like Weinstein. A big "got him" moment will all but fizzle away as they realise that a well connected , cornered enabler will have so much dirt on other powerful people that the authorities will go lightly. Just like they did before.
It's one thing catching a beast, another thing when he can incriminate your bosses boss.

My investigation began to take on unexpected twists. After a bit of digging I found myself not in some plush office setting but going through the metal detectors inside the Federal Medical Center at Devens prison in Massachusetts, where I met with one Steve Hoffenberg, a fraudster who’d been convicted of bilking investors of more than $450 million in one of the largest pre-Madoff Ponzi schemes in history. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Hoffenberg told me that he’d met Epstein shortly after Epstein had been kicked out of Bear Stearns in 1981 for “getting into trouble” and that Hoffenberg had seen charm and talent in him —“he has a way of getting under your skin”—and had hired him as a “consultant” to work with.
Hoffenberg, officially, ran Towers Financial, a collection agency that was supposed to buy debts that people owed to hospitals, banks, and phone companies, but instead the funds paid off earlier investors and subsidized his own lavish lifestyle. Hoffenberg told me had he had been Epstein’s mentor and that Epstein had made a terrible mistake in doing something so high-profile as flying Bill Clinton, since that would only draw a spotlight to his business dealings. “I always told him to stay below the radar,” he said.

I just did a quick google search “Jimmy Page + teenage girls” and this was one of the first things that came up:
Stairway to Hell: The Story of Jimmy Page With Lori Maddox, His 14-Year-Old Lover, in the 1970s
Bieng a Zeppelin fan means burying your head in the sand with this stuff, or shrugging your shoulders and rationalizing welllll it was the 1970s.
Fuck sake.
Well at least it was consensual if rather fucked up.
He's no Kelly, Glitter, Saville, Rolf Harris or Bill Cosby I guess.
FFS give yourself an uppercut man

Here's a fun activity. Check out the suggested autocompletes on google for 'Epstein Clinton' vs 'Epstein Trump'
I've mentioned it a few times now but people should really be using duckduckgo.com at this point in time if they value honesty and privacy.

Snigger, a man used to arguing all kinds of spurious nonsense being reduced to that is incredibly desperate.
Is anyone running a pool on who’s going to suicide themselves before the feds knock on their door?

Have to say, The Lolita Express is a fabulous name for a jetliner, even if it does sound more like a locomotive.

@Rembrandt so I did what you suggested and you are spot on nothing came up for Clinton, but only Epstein Trump Miami Herald came up for Trump
Other things that influence result is the country IP address and if you are running an incognito window or not. I use a vpn so can see the results from different countries.
This video gives the significance of what the auto-complete difference means and why it isn't a coincidence (7.15 in for the auto-complete issue specifically, though the whole video is very illuminating on what Google is doing)
Here is what Duckduckgo shows:

Wondered why Epstein got off so easy last time.
He’d cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein’s attorneys because he had “been told” to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone,”
There's some smoke and mirrors bullshit being played here somewhere.

Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘Infinite Means’ May Be a Mirage
[...]
Mr. Epstein is routinely described as a billionaire and brilliant financier, and he rubbed elbows with the powerful, including former and future presidents. Even after his 2008 guilty plea in a prostitution case in Florida, he promoted himself as a financial wizard who used arcane mathematical models, and he often dropped the names of Nobel Prize-winning friends. He told potential clients that they had to invest a minimum of $1 billion. At his peak in the early 2000s, a magazine profile said he employed 150 people, some working out of the historic Villard Houses on Madison Avenue.
Much of that appears to be an illusion, and there is little evidence that Mr. Epstein is a billionaire. [...]
