All too true. I've been tugging on the threads poking out of the Epstein shitpile, and keep following them to ever more bad news. I should probably just get drunk instead.

On and on it goes. Mintpressnews has done a yoeman's job researching Epstein's involvement in many other matters, and linked this network to Ehud Barak's company now offering products very likely to include surveillance features that may soon be on our phones, in the name of 'preventing mass murders of children', as Trump has promised to do. The company name eludes me atm (Alzheimer's, I'm sure. I linked to the mintpressnews story mentioning it on a post recently if you're interested) but has close ties to Peter Thiel, of Palantir, and Michael Chertoff, who has a competing product also, and is a slippery character as well.

Its those claims I am most dubious about. I find it all too easy to believe rich and powerful people do bad things to gain wealth and power.
