Epstein called Peter Thiel J.D. ’92 a 'great friend'
stanforddaily.com
Documents from 2014-2019 suggest a close relationship between the two men, who frequently coordinated meetings with Silicon Valley figures and global leaders.

    I have to wonder how these guys find each other. Do they crack an off color-joke and see who laughs? Do they catch each other looking at underage girls at a party? Is there a webpage that’s like tinder for pervs?

    I can barely get four friends together for a bike ride on a Sunday afternoon, but somehow Epstein was able to connect with just about every wealthy pedo in the western world.

      it’s basic party planning; you invite significantly more people because you know that less than half will actually show up.

      in your case: you’ll need to invite like 50 people and expect 10 to show up, but be sure to have enough bikes in case all 50 people actually do show up.

      i bet that’s why epstein got caught; he had to make sure that he had at least one bike for each one of his pedo friends.

        Yeah, but if I misjudge and one of my friends turns out to be vehimently anti-bike, I don’t have to orchestrate a massive cover-up, conduct a decades long propaganda campaign, and install one of my other friends as the leader of the free world in an effort to avoid the legal, social, and political fallout from biking (literal biking, not a metaphor).

        Seems like Epstein’s party planning would have required a little more thought than my Sunday rides.

        Then again, all the evidence seems to show they were able to operate with a depressing lack of opsec, so maybe they just ask each other or there’s not enough people opposed to child rape in their world.

          i’m less depressed by the lack of opsec and more depressed that they didn’t have to bother hiding it; they were using gmail for fuck’s sake!

          also the bike riders already know each other because there’s depressingly too many of them; but mistakes are sometimes made and those mistakes are written off as crazy people who propagate conspiracy theories like illuminati style global-sex-trafficking/human-sacrifice rings

    That tracks. Epstein was probably providing Blood Boys for Theil’s experiments. Go look it up, it’s out there.
