Epstein did NOT commit suicide in prison. I don't think we will ever learn with certainty who put the contract hit out on him - but we all know who had/has mob connections in New York...

I'm an atheist, but I don't doubt your faith is a very important component of your life. I always ask "why did the Lord either let this happen, or cause it to happen, in the first place". I also doubt the empathy and compassion of God or Jesus Christ to let this happen in the first place. Why do we need to wait until the "truth" is revealed? Why not reveal it now? And I can't accept "it's God's will" as an answer. Again - I'm glad you can be comforted by your beliefs. I'm simply speaking to the logic of the situation.

To be honest, I am or was very naive. Now I'm so convinced that there is the devil and that DJ is now the embodiment of evil. Laugh at me if you will but it does frighten me because it's so blatant. He makes no bones about his hatred of others. He's greedy. He lies and cheats. He is an all around undesireable individual. WHY THE HECK IS HE AMERICAS PRESIDENT?

God wasn't there for this 7 year old girl, whose father sexually abused her for 10 years. Where was God then? What was I guilty of at 7 years old to be punished? While I was singing "Jesus Loves The Little Children," at Sunday school, at home my father was raping me. I didn't have "free will" at 7yrs old. God is evil, the Bible is filled with violence.

Scott, hello, Happy New Year!

Jesus said that he had more to tell the disciples but they were not ready or something like that.

What is the truth?

We are not from this planet.

We are spirits in these Earthly bodies that we need to play this game.

Earth is like a University. We are here to learn how to love unconditionally.

Now, my understanding is that if you don't get it, one returns until they do.

All volunteer of course.

We decide before we come what we want to learn.

So, in the Bible it says, "Let us make...

So, they made this Earth for us to learn.

No one dies. We are spirits, we are like using these bodies like we use our cars.

We have been here many times. How many times have you been here?

So, man has divided themselves into different religions. The Lord told me that some have some right. Example the Catholics have the silence correct. Hum... well that may be all. The Muslims pray 5 times a day. Hum... and so on and so on.

The contradictions are real. Everything changes like the Mighty Sea.

Sounds lovely but it is not even close to the reality. Not even close. God provides humans with the ability to be brave, decent, willful and empathetic. Then God, the Lord watches. Humans had their chance and have already failed. The only thing that humans don’t comprehend is the relativity of time. You see, a thousand years is comparable to a millionth of a second of a human, being an inch from cement after a thousand foot free fall. A reality rap. Cheers 🥂

What your saying is correct. We all deserve equal protection under the law regardless if were innocent or guilty.

It's why men and women have to be vetted and then questioned by both prosecutors and defense attorneys before they can serve on a jury.

Anyone who is too emotionally invested in a person or a circumstance should never sit on a jury.

Because Jeffrey Epstein died, his accusers never got their day in court. And, we will never find out about a lot of secrets that were in his dead, secrets we should want to be revealed. Knowing the secrets could assist towards finding justice for more of his victims — most of whom have never come forward.

The big problem, is that somebody...(numbers/name's are unknown), are needing to be out of the public and private view. Thus, taking Epstein out,... is the quickest, most efficient, quietest way for the most part. 'Nothing to be seen here.' Evidence gone...or at least first hand recall.

And there was apparently lots of film, etc. to correlate any testimony. How many large properties did he own?

Why do you care? The night before he died Epstein gave his brother all his money, paid off the guards (who were online shopping when he committed suicide) and then killed himself. This deed was done because he was a slaver and knew that prisoners would rape him. He liked raping, but he didn’t think he’d like being raped. That’s the truth. He was an adjudicated criminal. He deserved a punishment devised by slaves.

Mary -- there has been al lot of recent coverage (finally!) of how bad Donald smells -- a combination of urine, feces, and a very offensive body odor. Adam Kinzinger reports noticing this overwhelming stench in an oval office meeting c. 2018. How long has Donald had this problem and what are your thoughts about it? I have a lot of family in Iowa and it is all anyone can talk about -- including some of his rabid supporters. I think it is vital that we get this information into the headlines. It could indicate an inability to attend to basic bodily functions, dementia /declining mental capacity (such as it was), and/or advancing disease. I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Newsweek so far seems to be the only US media to highlight the "missing Epstein tapes" from raid of Epstein's NYC townhouse in 2019, under Bill Barr : "FBI Special Agent Kelly Maguire testified in 2019 that during the raid of Epstein's residence, FBI agents found a safe with CDs, computer hard drives, money, jewelry and passports. During her testimony, Maguire said that FBI agents did not have a valid warrant to remove the evidence, so instead, they photographed them. A few days later, when they returned to obtain the evidence, it was gone, The Telegraph reported." A reminder that Bill Barr's father Donald Barr was Headmaster at Dalton School where he hired a young teacher named…Jeffrey Epstein, where he began recruiting young girls.

Someone, somewhere, has those discs & drives filled with "kompromat"... did they also end up at Mar-a-Lago?

Consider the possibility, given the entire trajectory of Trump's interactions & entanglements w/Putin & Epstein, that the primary purpose of this "active measures" op, election subversion to put Trump in WH, was to take down Epstein, recover the kompromat, worth more than a vault of gold to many very powerful men. Trump-Putin hidden meetings likely focused on this. Epstein died of a broken neck, mob-style. The entire corruption cult includes folks like Murdoch & Musk, monkeywrenching the reality. Flynn's Q-cult, a psy-war projection of destabilizing disinfo, think about it, was to COVER up the real Trump-Epstein-Putin pedophile & trafficking/kompromat ring. & WTF is Barr & Dershowitz doing in the middle of it all? https://beezevans.substack.com/p/billionaire-corruption-cult-behind

Alice Harford: Millions of years of evolution, right? Right? Men have to stick it in every place they can, but for women... women it is just about security and commitment and whatever the fuck else!

Dr. Bill Harford: A little oversimplified, Alice, but yes, something like that.

Alice Harford: If you men only knew...

I KNOW! The disproportionate/unchecked hunger for sex so many men have absolutely baffles me. An evolutionary glitch? Deviant sexual behavior leads to ruined marriages, ruined lives, increased abortion seeking, deceit and broken hearts, children being sexually abused, STDs, and the list goes on (and on and on and on)

Sexual Violence is a serious global issue and threat. Instead too much attention is paid to banning Drag Queen Story Hour at libraries. Thank you for your reply.

@Vicki: See the book, Sex at Dawn, by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jetha. There was a lot of polyamory among our hunter-gatherer ancestors of both genders. It's not clear from the book exactly what this meant for women, but for men, to have progeny you had to have a powerfull desire for lots of sex, plus produce huge quantities of sperm. Human males have among the biggest penises of primates; among the biggest testicles, and the highest sperm production.

And I can tell you that desire drives adolescent boys and young, and even early middle-aged men crazy. My best friend and I--both born in the first half of the 1950s--have remarked to each other that it's somewhat of a relief to no longer have the crazy level of sex drive we had in our youth, into our middle age.

I have vivid memories of a day nearly 54 years ago. I was in my 11th grade English class, which I loved. The teacher was a mother figure to a lot of her students, including me, and she and the other students made the class very interesting and a lot of fun. But on this particular day, my gonads were preventing me from concentrating, try as I might. At some point I just gave up trying to take in the class. When the class was over, I made a beeline for the bathroom and did something I'd never done outside of my own bedroom, despite the embarrassment I felt at having to do that. But it was a major relief.

As I explained in my first paragraph, this crazy level of desire is evolutionary but it's not a glitch. nor does it normally lead to deviant sexual behavior, or sexual abuse of children.

@DavidHolzman You speak as a "normal" man, my term was referring to those who engage in deviant sexual behavior. Please don't take my comment personally. But I maintain, based on my own life experiences and observations, that an overactive sexual appetite can and does often result in tragic behaviors in many men. I had no idea there were even responses to my comment until I received an alert today. I recently unsubscribed because I was aware of absolutely no feedback in any of these conversations. It is discouraging to feel like your shared thoughts disappear in a vapor!

I think it's more than just the overly powerful sex drive that results in bad behavior among many men. There has to be a lack of respect for women. I was taught in no uncertain terms at a young age that women were just as good as men. My mother and her mother both had PhDs, my parents met as grad students at Harvard. I got a baby sister at age 9, and even in my early teens I started teaching her to be independent. And I had some superb female teachers in elementary school and high school to whom I still feel grateful, one from elementary school who I befriended when I was in my early 30s (she was 15 years older than me), who--alas--died of breast cancer two years later, and who I still miss several decades later.

There is a certain kind of sage the priests use to lower the level of testosterone. I was given some by a gardener at a Catholic convent about 20 years ago. I used it in my kitchen, not knowing it's effects. My elderly husband didn't mind it, but one day a lady friend with a well developed palette set me straight, saying it was definitely not normal cooking sage, so I did some research.

A lot of adolescent and young adult males could use that. My inner adolescent boy wants it! And I bet a lot of the younger priests found using it a big relief. Now, if course, at 71, I have absolutely no need for that, but I find myself intellectually fascinated by the fact that there is such a thing, and thinking

about how it could have relieved my cases of what my best friend and I referred to as being vapored. So thank you for that information!

In many ways, it’s more challenging to be male. As far as the polyamory goes, I think the restriction on women having multiple partners started when men wanted legitimate male heirs…not that that was a guarantee.

Please feel free to correct me. I just remember reading something about it years ago.

I don't think it's sex so much as power, or lording it over someone... belittling, shaming, blackmail material, the list goes on...and as society 'advances' the new twists are born.

It's never just SEX. It's a way to get the upper hand over someone else.

I realize that for some, it can be about power, but I've never viewed it that way, and I don't think any of my close friends have ever viewed it that way. It IS a very powerful drive though.

did you read my comment? It's now the third one under your comment.

Also, I have to tell you that the disproportionate hunger that most men have actually begins for many in adolescence. It's not an evolutionary glitch, which you will understand if you read my comment. And it does not necessarily go with deviant behavior such as child sexual abuse.

I’m terrible about names, but believe Roy Baumeister is who wrote a sociological study of evil in which he said pretty much what you have, here.

I didn’t read through the book, though hope I will someday. — I believe that, somewhat alarmingly, he wrote male perpetrators of sexual violence do not think they have done anything wrong.

I think it's almost certainly true that many don't think they've done anything wrong. And that IS alarming. I think we'd have less of that if we took a more Scandinavian approach to adolescent sex. (In my family we were allowed to have lovers in our rooms with the doors closed. I was doing that in 12th grade.) In fact, my father chewed out some neighbor lady who'd gone in the back of our house to look in my windows.

I googled Baumeister. It looks like his papers are behind paywalls, but I didn't see anything that was exactly on point, although given what I did see, it wouldn't be surprising.

I’m not with you in your remedy for sexual violence. That’s all I want to say. FYI, Roy Baumeister’s book is entitled “Evil: Inside Human Violence and Cruelty.” I hope I’ll read it one day.

I didn't say that that would be a remedy for sexual violence, although I think it would reduce it. But to get rid of sexual violence, I think we need to expunge the notion that women are somehow not as good as men. As a child, I'd absorbed that notion to a degree, and at some point, when I expressed it, my parents told me in no uncertain terms that that was not the case. They had both come from backgrounds where women were respected on the same terms as men. My maternal grandmother had a PhD. My parents and their siblings had marriages of equality.

I don't have any children of my own, but I have a much younger sister, who I encouraged to be independent, to ask questions when she had them, and to feel that she was as good as boys. As a public health nurse, during the pandemic, she was in charge of getting everyone in Fairfax Virginia vaccinated.

My brother has a daughter. I used to take her on expeditions beginning when she was a little kid. When she was 7, I started taking her for flying lessons. Her first time, she did so well that the instructor gave her an extra take-off and landing. Years later, she told me she knew I'd done that to give her extra confidence, and that it had done so.

And one time, around when I was taking my niece for flying lessons, driving along I came upon a teenaged girl stuck by the side of the rode with a flat tire. I told her I could change it in 10-15 minutes for her, or I could tell her what to do, and let her do it, so that she could do it herself if she got another. She opted for the latter, and did a good job of it.

And I'm really PO'd that we couldn't elect a woman as president of our country.

And one of my long ago professors, a woman, now 85, just came out with a new book, and it really made me feel good. (I was in her class 50 years ago.) I emailed her, and congratulated her, and bought the book, which I am finding to be very interesting. Stolen Pride: Loss, Shame, and the Rise of the Right, by Arlie Russell Hochschild.

And I could go on in a similar vein about several of my elementary school teachers (all women). I learned so much from them.
