I will never forget the day I got an e-mail from someone who worked with the Boy Scouts. He listened to a podcast episode I recorded on Adventures in Odyssey and wrote to me that Mr. Whitaker checked a bunch of the red flags for a serial child predator. And I couldn't stop thinking about that.
Thank you for writing/sharing this. Wow. It makes so much sense suddenly why Adventurers in Odyssey was so prominent in my circles.

TLDR: Jeffrey Epstein possibly sent one of the young girls he groomed and abused an article written by James Dobson. Why? Because Dobson was telling women who were abused by their dads to forgive them, of course.
Then there is a really weird text convo between Jeffrey and someone (her name has been redacted). I am assuming she is young. Epstein yells at her bc she was nice to a guy with a small dick but complained about her dad. So he sent her a James Dobson article to read.

I knew -- I KNEW -- something like this would come out eventually, and yet my jaw still dropped (literally!) when I saw it.

I've been screaming from the rooftops that pedophiles love Dobson's parenting and family advice and I wish people would listen!!!

oh my god I'm finding some Dobson connections in the Epstein files but I don't know how to organize it/share it . . . also does anyone care? Aren't we all kinda overwhelmed with stuff?!?!?

Hey new followers! If you followed me because of my 4chan and Epstein thread, I cannot recommend DL and Krispin Mayfield's STRONGWILLED work highly enough, especially if you were raised evangelical or want to understand the impact of evangelicalism in creating our current hellscape.
Hey if you don't want to read the Epstein files but you do want to learn about how to spot and hold pedophiles accountable (especially when they hide in evangelical spaces) that's basically all I have been writing/podcasting about for the past few months!

It makes you sound crazy to say this out loud, but it's becoming increasingly clear that the United States government has been effectively toppled by a group of overt pedophiles

Yeah. I dunno, I just don't think it's okay that we appear to be ruled by literally the most amoral monsters on the planet?
Man, it’s wild that normal people just go to work every day while the people who run everything meticulously document their sex crimes

I don't think James Dobson was *as bad* as Epstein but serial child predators create their own little ecospheres where they all find each other and share materials and victims and one day the truth will come out. At the very least Dobson was a sadist who encouraged millions to abuse kids.

Remember when Mitch McConnell got elected to the senate partly because he was so worried about serial child predators -- because of the sheer amount of victims they had and the ways they almost always got away with their crimes -- because I DO: strongwilled.substack.com/p/purity-cul...

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics
Let us all have the courage displayed by the residents of Minneapolis.

We are dealing with a Western Christian supremacist movement willing to see millions die in the name of racial purity. This is William Wolfe. A year ago he was invited with fourteen other faith leaders to the WH. Today he is praising ICE for killing peaceful observers. This is Christian fascism.

Murray is the chief Democratic appropriator. She negotiated the DHS funding deal. She needs to present a new plan now
This looks like an execution. There must be an investigation. There must be accountability.

Joining ICE does not give you license to murder.

The President is escalating the situation—and I have no faith he will stop. The Republican Congress must join us to end this. Enough.

Watch how the Christian death apologists spin another execution by ICE in Minneapolis. I am sickened to my core at how the bootlickers are revealing themselves. Because they see themselves in a spiritual battle and everyone else is a demon worthy of death for not complying with orders.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

Minneapolis, MN -

A memorial has been set up where observer Alex Pretti was shot by federal agents. A heart made with branches. Several crying.

Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

James is one of the people who helps maintain/protect the memorial.

He's been out here every day for the past 2 weeks and 2 days, from 10am til midnight.

He lives in the house behind him.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Today is the day. Right now hundreds of Minnesota businesses and institutions are shut down. Thousands of people are refusing to work. There’s a massive picket at the airport. Minnesota’s resistance to ICE today is changing the tenor our fight against fascism.
