An important point is exactly that -- without investments in slime, Epstein would have been a run of the mill child molester. So you are raising an important point in our discussion of examining raw information in a sequence that reveals both the how and why -- the very two things that we and others discussed here decades ago, on the Plame scandal. Funny how that works.
When there is this much data, we begin by focusing on how Epstein financed the sex ring. You may recall that in the past, when others have said by blackmailing other creeps, I've said that isn't really accurate. It was to get material to pressure/blackmail some people into making specific deals -- or to frequently turn a bling eye to others "on the team." But just the same as a little league team, there are sponsors that foot the bill. In this case, there are five billionaires that served this purpose, and they all have direct connections to a foreign intelligence network.
After this, we look for others who invested in Epstein-connected ventures. Let's think of a couple examples, shall we? How about beauty pageants and modeling agencies. Can we think of anyone -- maybe some president or another -- who was best buds with Epstein in the era of young girls, or young looking women, in modeling? How about those with similar investments in bringing Eastern European girls and women west, knowing that only a tiny fraction would actually become models? That others would be forced into prostitution? Or marrying the felon?
This was the method that Denise George was using ..... "follow the money," as we learned in Watergate. It leads to the funny money, to large donations to corrupt government officials, and to the identities of the vile sex offenders.
Make sense?
