Given it’s said he resides in Saudi Arabia I feel this must be connected to his arms dealing with Adnan Khashoggi.
🤷♂️ dude I’m sure we’ll have a movie on his life in some years. He is the most evil dude ever, but his life was insane.
And I tried to be as brief as possible on the main moments that shaped his life imo. There’s more ofc. I’d suggest reading Whitney Webb’s books on him.
While some will be AI, they did filter by songs with at least some play. The millions of AI songs that get uploaded likely get very little play.
But then there’s some AI artists that are getting millions of plays a month….
He was a boy genius. A prodigy of some obscure brass instrument or something. He graduated school at like 14. And he went to the most prestigious art conservatory in the US on a scholarship at that. He played Carnagie Hall at like 8 or something.
He was likely abused for the first time at this conservatory, as he would return there to commit abuse himself.
Anyways, after that he went to college for a bit. He then went backpacking around Europe with a friend. They spent a good while walking around continental Europe before going to England.
There they met and befriended a very famous cello player, who introduced them to the royal family. They hung out there with them for a bit.
After that he and his friend returned to the US and went to New York. There he started attending high society parties.
He was then hired to teach at Dalton shortly after that.
This means he likely made connections in the parties that led to that job. But that job was likely a front.
Because from that teaching job he was handpicked to start working at Bear Sterns.
He rose super quickly at Bear Sterns, allegedly because of his genius with numbers, but also likely due to the connections he started making.
He became a VP super fast, but left just as fast. His boss, Alan Greenberg was being investigated for financial crimes, and Epstein took the fall for him.
He then opened his own firm, and became a “free agent” for some time. He was a “financial bounty hunter”, finding and hiding stolen money for the uber wealthy. He was really good at this as well. One of his main customers at this time was an aristocratic family from Spain. Epstein allegedly helped them find hundreds of millions of stolen euros.
After this, he met his first mentor. He was a “client” of Epstein’s firm for years, but he was really his mentor. Adnan Khashoggi, the Saudi arms dealer.
So Epstein was already a very prolific financial operator, and became an arms dealer. Epstein was likely involved in getting arms to many groups in Africa and the Middle East.
After that he got involved with his second mentor, Robert Maxwell. A spy, with a blackmail ring.
So Epstein was a high level financial operator, an arms dealer, and a blackmail ring owner.
Also, he was involved in so many financial crimes. He was involved with the second biggest Ponzi scheme in history. His partner was arrested, convicted for decades, and Epstein’s name was dropped from the case after 3 months…
His other financial firm was the first to use mortgage amortization. Like they were the first to use the instrument they caused the 08 crash.
Epstein was NOT a dumb guy, who just got rich from giving children to billionaires. That was maybe his hobby.
He was one of the biggest financial criminals in history, a massive arms dealer, and a spy.
Is this supposed to be an own? This guy sounds cool…
Duterte literally sponsored militias and death squads that murdered people for using recreational drugs. I don’t think we should say everything was “fine” under him…
Yes… but also at the same time, the vast majority of people with bipolar or other mental health issues are not raging anti-semites.
It’s not the “fault” of amoral individuals, no. This is simply the system working as intended. A system where capital translates to political power will inevitably lead to capital accumulation. Corporations are only for generating more capital and more profits to their owners. Profits they can turn into more capital elsewhere.
It’s silly to expect a “good” version of this where the people at the top… don’t put their interests first? Like why would they ever do that? If someone at the top doesn’t fight for profit like a shark, they will lose their spot and risk becoming a worker, or dooming their family and future generations to become workers.
These people are just doing what’s best for them. And everybody around says “hey! that’s bad, you should put aside your self interest for our self interest!”.
Bro the problem is THE SYSTEM. As long as we have this system, we will always have the same people in power, the same problems, and the planet will die in 50 years. You can fight reality all you want, but that’s where we’re at.
Portugal has one the highest numbers of houses per inhabitant in the world. Over 40 per inhabitant. There are 700,000 empty homes in Portugal, not counting airbnbs and second homes. A country of 10,000,000 people.
From 2020 to 2023 there was an increase of 400,000,000 euros in international investment in the Portuguese real estate market. It literally doubles in 3 years.
There is a high number of houses that are kept as investments (empty, second houses, airbnbs etc.). This keeps the market hostage to an international investor class, who in every way but literally have infinite money.
This problem will keep getting worse and worse as long as the government doesn’t do something to fix the root of the issue.
Housing should not be a capital market to be speculated on. There should be no investors in housing.
Things people need to survive can’t be subject to market forces.
Homelessness and lack of housing affordability is exclusively an issue of neoliberal capitalism and the infection of every facet of our existence with “the market”.
The people in the boards of directors, the major investors, people who run large investment funds etc. are the same or very close to the owners of commercial real estate.
They don’t want to fuck themselves.
Also many times corporate rent is used as money laundering, to hide profits etc. Like the building is owned by company A, which is incorporated in the Virgin Islands, but is actually owned by the same group that owns company B that rents the building. So they pay money to themselves. So company B is not profitable and doesn’t have to pay taxes. Presto pronto.
Just a very obvious manoeuvre, there are certainly many more.
You know what would solve this? We all collectively agree this fucking tech is too important to be in the hands of a few billionaires, start an actual public free open source fully funded and supported version of it, and use it to fairly compensate every human being on Earth according to what they contribute, in general?
Why the fuck are we still allowing a handful of people to control things like this??
Yeah they are all in the same mafia-intelligence nexus. That started when the CIA war formed, and the OSI’s mafia connections in Europe started growing stronger. And indeed it’s the same group as the safari club, bcci, the “enterprise” from Iran Contra etc.
This goes back to Allen Dulles, Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lanski.
Trump’s mentor was* Roy Cohn, a CIA asset and mob lawyer. Epstein’s mentors were Maxwell and Khashoggi. Spies and arms dealers, connected to Israel military intelligence (not Mossad).
