Is That All There Is?

"very hot; never lukewarm.;)”

It’s been about a month since the last drop and I’m still thinking about whatever I personally happened to come across in the Epstein Files—not going all QAnon about it, but finding conversations easy to steer with an “all roads lead to…” remark. Institutions are quietly firing their presidents and program directors who appeared too friendly with the financier while soliciting his money and connections—quietly, perhaps, because the lines are fine in friendship and solicitation.

As with many of the women who directly worked for Jeffrey Epstein, some recently-villainized or at least semi-cancelled individuals may have started out as his victims, drawn into his circle with the promise of access to moneyed and cultured men who are otherwise worlds away. Groomed and maybe abused, they saw a way out by turning his hustle into their opportunity—arguably pushing the Epstein agenda, but epitomizing an American dream nonetheless.

And what was that agenda? We’re getting used to being thrown off the scent, and anyway, we’ve forgotten what we’re in search of, if not a global cabal of elites running a child sex-trafficking ring. Is it not…? With each new hearing and analysis of a particular thread, I’m more curious, because no one involved will ever honestly articulate: What it was it like, being his friend?
