How an Elite University Research Center Concealed its Relationship with Jeffrey Epstein

Sunday, September 08, 2019

The M.I.T. Media Lab, which has been embroiled in a scandal over accepting donations from the financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, had a deeper fund-raising relationship with Epstein than it has previously acknowledged, and it attempted to conceal the extent of its contacts with him.

I heard about this on NPR yesterday. MIT will never reover. One of themost repected universities in the world has lessened its own image because of Jeffrey Epstein. He was more than just a sexual deviant, he was a character destroyer. I do hope that the judge who has the list of Epstiens co-criminals does release it to the world. Their lives should implode and I just do't care who they are. Prince Andrew? Oh well. Bill Clinton..oh well. Whoever they are the truth shall set them free.

I'd like to read the article but I'm not subscribing to The New Yorker even if they're giving away free tote bags. ;)

Look, everyone knows that Epstein was murdered. He had the goods. The goods on whom? Who knows? But he had the goods. There's gotta be a book or tape somewhere. We'll probably never know until two generations are dead and the Trump er ceases to be relevant. Like JFK, no one cares now who shot JFK. Everyone that was someone from that era is dead. If the reveal that it was LBJ to stay in the war, no one cares now. That's the issue with Epstein. They broke his neck and hung him and made it look like a suicide. You know how hard it is to break a neck bone while hanging yourself? Almost impossible without a long drop and a bounce.

Epstein knew too much and they did a rub out ala "Casino." They killed everybody except De Niro's character (Sam Rothstein) because he was a good earner.

"Look, everyone knows that Epstein was murdered."

No, you don't know that nor does anyone else. Yes, we can suspect that it true but you don't know that. Don't state things as facts until you actually know they are factss or else you will be considered just a conspiracy theory A*****e and there are plenty of them out there. And yes, they are all ---------. Presenting vague theories as facts is reprehensible.

In the court of public opinion, Epstein was murdered. And until our government gives us reason to believe otherwise, it will go down in the history of public opinion that the man was murdered. It's not conspiracy theory, it's simply odds..

Just another example of how money has corrupted elite science.

"In the court of public opinion, Epstein was murdered."

The truth: There is no such thing as the "court" of public opinion. That's just conspiracry theory nonsense. When you buy into nonsense like that you enable conspiracy theorists of all sorts to push their nonsense. It is much better to resist the urge to allow conspiracy theories to infect your brain and stay with facts.
Know one thing. All conspiracy theorists are liars, none of them are just innocent fools, they all have an agenda. If you ignore all of them you do your brain a big favor.

You're confusing "conspiracy theorist" with common sense. Odds are against Epstein killing himself in a cell for people who are on suicide watch, not being watched, cameras didn't work, and an interesting thing noted in the autopsy - wounds were more consistent with strangling rather than hanging. So if you refuse to see that the odds are stacked against the man taking his own life, you have one other possibility. Someone either murdered him or someone provided him the means to take his own life.

Was he a pedophile, were any of his accusors prepubescent? His contributions to the Democrat party will be missed.

Yup, get them all. If Trump was somehow complicit in the trafficking or a customer, get them all.

Like our FBI, I am sure that the majority of those working there are good people, but 'dirty leaders' at the top.

As someone who's been inside the belly of the publicly-funded scientific research beast (we didn't accept $ from pedos though), I can say that scientific research is like that saying about sausage: if you like it, don't witness how it's been made. Even without the pedos, it will disgust you.

BERSEKONE would be better served to protect his public image before he pretends to have knowledge of publicly[funded scientific research and then criticize the ethics of morals of those who are actually involved. I have had some very little contact with such folks but I haven't witnessed anything except dedication and public service and sometimes in quite creative ways. I'm sure that sometimes people with alterior motives do get involved but not for the most part, most of the people involved are there for the right reasons and use proper discretion in every aspect of what they do.
That said, I don't give a dime to some "charities" which are really retirement funds for rich fat cats.
