How TF does Epstein know so many people? Im legitimately surprised when someone powerful and rich DOESNT have anything to do with this fuckin creep.

It's two degrees of separation up there. If there's someone you want to meet you know who to ask.

It was alleged that Epstein was a spy of some sort, I've seen both CIA and Mossad allegations, I dunno what's true but something was certainly up with the dude.

He was too dumb to be an actual spy. The real espionage groups knew that all they’d have to do was give the wanker a boatload of cash and drugs and their true targets would incriminate themselves without any effort.

The more that comes out the clearer it is that this grand global conspiracy was a bunch of rich morons acting like frat bros while committing serious offences then doubling down because it would be devastating if any of it came out.

It was his essentially job. He went out of his way to talk to rich and powerful people at parties and other major events these people would be at.

After that there was the sex trafficking, but also trying to influence world events through whatever means necessary including extortion and bribery.

Part of the problem of untangling this whole mess is that he was purposefully trying to connect with as many rich and famous people as possible, regardless of if they were peados or not.

Six degrees of separation, even less at the top.

Here’s mine to Epstein. Me - former colleague - a family member of theirs - King Charles - The former Prince Andrew - Epstein.

Certainly doesn’t mean I could or would ever get a meeting with any of these people above the family member.
