Here's Chrissy's apology




Yeah she should've stayed off Twitter.

Yeah, she might wanna just hang it up on social media. Her shtick on Twitter is it to be quirky and silly but it’s gonna be hard to do that now. You told a teenager to kill herself Chrissy. You’re done.

They weren't augmented. Dr Drew personally inspected them so he could announce on television that their breasts were real.

I feel like this story's come up in the thread before, but holy poo poo everything about this story is sickening and makes me dizzy reading about it (again). I don't remember if anybody mentioned specifics or just that Doug Hutchison was a pedophile. That guy's a loving monster, though, as is everybody else involved with humiliating and parading them around. But mostly Hutchison.

Chrissy could have had it good. She already walked away from Twitter once over some tone deaf rich person poo poo but then had to come back and now deal with this every time you Tweet.

Like, no one should promise to be better on Twitter. It's just Twitter. Go and be better in life. Delete the app, go and volunteer with some local charities and feed your soul or something. When half of your replies are just people who want to make you feel lovely it's time to get out of the game.

Really don't get rich people. You have the freedom and money to do what you want, help as many people as you want and this is what you concern your time with?

I liked his self awareness. He pointed out that if Kelly Clarkson, who is by all accounts a very nice person, walked up and kicked him in the balls, it would hurt, but she'd be completely justified since he'd written 11 billion really mean jokes about her for no real reason.

He popped up on my twitter feed and, to my absolute astonishment, he's not a chud at all. He just seemed like someone that would have become one at some point in the last few years and he hadn't.

The only way for a billionaire to escape from his marriage was to fly to pedo island, checks out. I guess the rich really do have the same problems as us.

I cannot imagine how badly being a billionaire breaks brains where you go 'I'm going to go commit sex crimes as an escape from my marriage' instead of just...like...I don't know, buying time in a jet plane or tank or something, or just paying a whole NFL team to play exclusively in dresses, or hiring a film director to make a badass action film starring you. The only limit is your imagination and all these idiots can think of is 'drink with other billionaires' or 'do sex crimes'

yeah, it's a bit of a chicken and egg thing: does the process of becoming a billionaire break you and make you a sociopath, or is it that only someone who is already a sociopath (or very prone to it) can become a billionaire.

Being a billionaire invariably involves exploiting thousands of people/the US government, from a starting point that is already immensely priviliged.

Gates first real forays into tech was DoT webservices that was hooked up by his dad, and his big break with Microsoft was taking up the pieces of an antitrust suit and running away with all the good parts.

It's exploitating a vulnerability and being empathy free enough to use it to the hilt, usually at the expense of a lot of people.

In sum, pedo island is inevitable

After he got caught? None. Before then? He was still operating as a legitimate businessman. It's how he was in the position he was to begin with.

He was a nexus for all sorts of powerful and rich people to network. Maybe because of, but not necessarily just for, the nightmare fuel stuff. A lot of the people associating with him will have been actively involved in the horror, but the majority probably weren't. Which isn't to say that they didn't know of have reason to suspect that he was a monstrous person.

Epstein was never a legitimate businessman.

quote:

In August 1981, Epstein founded his own consulting firm, Intercontinental Assets Group Inc. (IAG), which assisted clients in recovering stolen money from fraudulent brokers and lawyers. Epstein described his work at this time as being a high-level bounty hunter. He told friends that he worked sometimes as a consultant for governments and the very wealthy to recover embezzled funds, while at other times he worked for clients who had embezzled funds. Spanish actress and heiress Ana Obregón was one such wealthy client, whom Epstein helped in 1982 to recover her father's millions in lost investments, which had disappeared when Drysdale Government Securities collapsed because of fraud.

Who knows what else, if anything, he was doing at the time but he was keeping up a front as being a businessman, or a trader, or financial consultant through various guises over the years.

I suspect it's a case of him being allowed to carry on as he usually would given that he had a string of failed Investments into the 2000s, so it seems he was still running around being a 'Financier'. He was absolutely on more than one radar that's for sure. People like him don't get to exist in secret.

He did claim to friends in the late 80s/early 90s that he was a spook, but I don't think we're ever going to know for sure when he got tapped.

He was recruited into teaching by Bill Barr's father who had known ties to the CIA, then somehow met Alan Greenberg who decides to hire a high school math teacher that had just been fired for poor performance to work at Bear Sterns.

He was absolutely a CIA asset at one point in time.

Also his mom-girlfriend was the daughter of an extremely infamous mossad guy and probable CIA asset, Epstein’s entire existence was basically to be a meat puppet for various intelligence agency blackmail operations.

You actually have to be a conspiracy theorist to think Epstein killed himself. You honestly have to jump through a whole lot of insanely irrational and illogical hoops to think he just offed himself in a cell one night
