“It’s a smear” - Donald Trump

As someone is saying on LBC now, among the rich and powerful in the Epstein files are many members of the billionaire class, who are influencing governments globally and doing precisely what the hell they want.

Trump considers himself a member and so he is principally defending the billionaires.
The current email release certainly feels like a very good reason for the BBC furore to have been whipped up. But by whom? And for whom?
But I guess that could just be another conspiracy.
Or is it?

When the Epstein dam bursts, we’re going to be amazed at how many of the rich and powerful are implicated.

And the lengths that they went to to stop their exposure.

FFS.

The BBC gets attacked by Trump for dodgily editing of quote and the dossier used to shame the BBC uses dodgily edited quotes!

Why is the BBC being all apologetic?

Why isn’t it standing up for itself and telling Trump to f**k off?

There is literally no defamation case for it to answer.

Epstein’s ticking time bomb for science: Years ago, before the name of Epstein had registered, I had lunch with a prominent woman physicist. She told me Epstein was funding exclusive physics conferences for favoured male physicists to which women like her were excluded.

The problem after 14 years of damage wreaked by the Tories is that we now have a f***ed up BBC and a f***ed up NHS.

But, remember, the f***ing up has come from outside. It is not intrinsic

We desperately need a properly functioning BBC and properly functioning NHS

DEFEND THEM!

In a world without the BBC, how will we know what is true and what is truly haplening in the world?

Our only source of information (misinformatio) will be the billionaire-owned media.

The BBC has been gravely damaged by 14 years of the Tories.

But we desperately need it to be functioning properly
Is the BBC worth saving at this point?

How many years away are we from having a “both sides” factor when discussing gay people, I wonder?

They want to take away our BBC.

They want to take away our NHS.

They want to take away our human rights.

They want to take away everything we have that makes life worth living.

All for their own greedy enrichment.

Billionaires are willing to sacrifice anyone whose net worth is less than a billion dollars. They want to inherit the planet, but not with poor people on it.

(Yes, of course there are a few good billionaires, but most are in self preservation mode.)

I rather enjoyed this by Drew from Genetically Modified Skeptic about the forthcoming daisychaining victimwank book compiled by Jeffrey Epstein stan Lawrence Krauss, with contributions from Jordan Peterson, Dawkins, and a whole cast of tiresome bigots.

Some more physics-related stuff: In 2012 (after the conviction) Lisa Randall emailed Epstein, asking for his opinion about an invitation to Sundance.

Very prominent scientists like Murray Gell-Mann and Stephen Hawking are in the Epstein files. Epstein was mentioned in the dedications of one of Gell-Mann’s books. It’s weird just how large this is, almost like the public can’t comprehend the scope.
