    Well yeah you can tell because we only saw a tiny sliver of his operation. We didn’t even get Wexner. Netanyahu was celebrating like he thought Ehud Barak got burned worse than him. Diddy wasn’t even in it so you know there are dozens of Epsteins. Clearly capital needs a way to bind together the self-interests of ruling class cliques and coordinate these ill-conceived illegal human research projects across different universities, even continents.

    You think the rich are limited to just one human trafficking island? Epstein is just the Israel branch.

    This is what happens in a culture where every success/failure is attributed to the individual and the systems in which individuals live go completely ignored.

    Exactly, he was just a manager for one rape island that we know of. He was a product of a system that’s still humming along right now.

    Is there a systematic way to identify other Epsteins, based on what we know so far. In hindsight it was pretty obvious what he was doing.

    For example go over the n richest people in the world, create a social graph, and look for suspiciously central nodes, where it is unclear how they got their money (or that have suspicious connections to certain agencies).

    Been saying that a while. It’s a niche that’s gotta be filled by someone for the ultra wealthy and political leaders. It’s like you won’t be accepted or protected unless you’re as guilty as they are and sink to their level.
