“See hard evidence?” When does the citizen SEE hard evidence of anything EVER? More like NEVER; hence all the endless churning of conspiracies, lies, fantasies, decades of questions, stories and convolutions.
I'm speaking in the Legal sense of the word. This time last year I KNEW Epstein was murdered and there was a blackmail Book/List. Today...No. OR Donald Trump, Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Dan Bongino are Lying.
Deserve better - every victim of heinous acts “deserves better”. What defines “deserve better” is the question. Having just watched the victim impact statements at the sentencing hearing of Kohberger, who brutally murdered four totally innocent people, young adults in their beds, I think they “deserve better”. Mr. Goncalves was vocal in his opposition to the deal that was brokered. He & the other families didn’t get the justice they wanted or felt they “deserved”.
There are horrible acts committed every single day against innocent people & they all “deserve better”. The questions are who defines “better”, what is “justice”?
The next time one gets a jury summons, perhaps we should think about the everyday, mundane and what justice looks like & our responsibility as citizens to ensure that justice.
NOT saying Epstein was a great guy. He Was a Douche Bag and the world is better off with him Dead.
What do you mean deserve better? Dominick Ragucci, an 18-year-old student and vacuum cleaner salesman was murdered in 1979 by Gambino Capo Roy DeMeo. His family got no real justice.
Epstein is tip, bottom, and middle of the child-sex-trafficking sin destroying our nation. We are the #1 consumer of the fruit of this demonic tree that needs to be felled...or we have no future. Period!
Your last comment; do you think the reason for the visits was to participate in pedophilia? Or just that wealthy people want to associate with wealthy people? Because if it’s the former it would seem we’re back to at least one of the conspiracies you mentioned.
The reasons. That you will find nobody else sharing. Questioning everything, following the money, using logic and reason is the best path to truth.
For all the good Chris Rufo does exposing bad things, and he does much good, he's outside his forte to offer commentary on Epstein as nothing more than a Gatsby character. He exhibits unusual-for-Chris simplistic understanding of what drove Epstein. His "company" of teenage girls was about much more than sex with underage Lolitas. Or kompromat, as most "conspiracy theorists" opine.
Sharing with all readers a condensed(?) bit of information for others to peruse to see how well the thesis of simple "minor-attracted persons" holds up to what really drove his sexual exploits. And who else, what other agendas were attached to those "sexual exploits." It all begins, and ends with: Eugenics.
Eugenics:
Jeffrey Epstein’s Harvard Connections Show How Money Can Distort Research
"What made it even worse was that Epstein was a latter-day eugenicist whose interests were tied to a delusional notion of seeding the human race with his own DNA. Given this stance, it is particularly disturbing that he focused his largesse on research on the genetic basis of human behavior. "
"Only later would it become apparent why Epstein was so interested in funding Nowak’s work on evolution and genetics: As The New York Times reported, he hoped to seed the human race with his DNA by impregnating women at his ranch in New Mexico. That reflected his broader aspiration to use techniques like genetic engineering and artificial intelligence to select certain traits to produce superior human beings—a modern-day version of eugenics and its idea of controlled breeding. And Epstein had managed to enlist Harvard in that enterprise."
It was only AFTER the second arrest that Harvard bothered to close its eugenics research center:
Harvard closes evolution center after finding connections to Jeffrey Epstein
He's done a lot of work in genetics, planned evolutionary design, EUGENICS. And weaves in sophisticated understanding of the mind sciences, mathematical modelling, game theory. And guess what else? Researching viruses!! Like HIV-AIDS! Remember, Fauci's first murderous antisocial foray was making people fear the presence of gay people and pushing another deadly experimental biotech concoction, AZT, as treatment! And Martin Nowak's early research was directly tied to that. As well as eugenics:
To do planned evolutionary design with genes it takes game theory modeling, understanding human behaviors, psychology. If you're trying to design the evolution of humanity. Selecting for desired genetics, eliminating undesirable ones:
Mathematics Genealogy Project
Dissertation: Stochastic strategies in the prisoner's dilemma
Mathematics Subject Classification: 91—Game theory, economics, social and behavioral sciences
This type of work, attempting to take control of the evolution of man, selecting which genes continue is really the work of men who believe they are gods, or god-like. And only Atheists are susceptible to this type of arrogance. They often call themselves "Humanists" who "follow the best science." Meaning, God is irrelevant to them, a fiction, an opiate for the masses:
It's not just Nowack. Looking into Epstein's Little Black Book shows many other scientists and leaders whose work and agendas also feeds into eugenics. And supports the biomedical industry involved in virus research:
Jeffrey Epstein's depravities are far more meaningful than Chris Rufo suggests. They served a much larger purpose than just his own sexual desires and satisfaction. Much larger purpose than just gaining kompromat on other wealthy and powerful people. At the very heart of his pedophilia was his belief in eugenics, his desire to be a modern-day Genghis Khan, spreading his genes into the future human population. Developing the genetic blueprints with other like-minded powerful human and social engineers to create the future humanity of their vision. "Fixing" God's "mistakes."
These ideas Epstein and his backers support are very master race, Hitlerian stuff. That lives beyond him. His same type of work on animals, livestock, is envisioned for humanity. Same science. Same value to those leading and funding this type of research. That humanity is little more than cattle. Chattel. For which they consider themselves "good stewards" of. THIS is what Jeffrey Epstein's work was advancing. Eugenics. Which has a tie-in with virus research, given that more than half of human DNA has viral origins:
This same genetic engineering technology applied to humanity. Under what could be described as an "Indian Caste System." Applying science to engineer humanity that fits under an organizational hierarchy:
And what world-altering event happened just a few months after Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself? Coincidence? Dead men tell no tales. Open your minds, expand your paradigm. That is where we will find Truth. Men who would-be gods unto themselves. This is the untold story of Jeffrey Epstein. And the "elites" and scientists he orbited with. And what a true investigation of him will reveal.
This very detailed story about Epstein from *before* his first arrest has a whole lot of info to connect many dots with. That lead to further investigation. Interestingly, the author of this Vanity Fair piece uses the same Gatsby reference that Chris Rufo did,
"But, as with Jay Gatsby, myths and rumor swirl around Epstein." Maybe Rufo had already read this, pulled it from the vault!
"Epstein’s appointment to the board of New York’s Rockefeller University in 2000 brought him into greater social prominence. Boasting such social names as Nancy Kissinger, Brooke Astor, and Robert Bass, the board also includes such pre-eminent scientists as Nobel laureate Joseph Goldstein. “Epstein was thrilled to be elected,” says someone who knows him."
[FF - Interesting friends, no?]
"Thanks to Epstein’s introductions, says Martin Nowak, the biologist finds himself moving from Princeton to Harvard, where he is assuming the joint position of professor of mathematics and professor of biology. Epstein has pledged at least $25 million to Harvard to create the Epstein Program for Mathematical Biology and Evolutionary Dynamics, and Epstein will have an office at the university. The program will be dedicated to searching for nature’s algorithms, a pursuit that is a specialty of Nowak’s. For Epstein this must be the summit of everything he has worked toward: he has been seen proudly displaying Harvard president Larry Summers’s letter of commitment as if he can’t quite believe it is real. He says he was reluctant to have his name attached to the program, but Summers persuaded him."
...
"Nowak says that, when he goes to stay with Epstein in the Caribbean, they’ll get up at six and, as the sun rises, have three-hour conversations about theoretical physics. “Then he’ll go off and do some work, re-appear, and we’ll talk some more.”"
[FF - We're back to that Martin Nowak fellow, the (pseudo)science of eugenics! The summit of EVERYTHING he had worked for!]
"Joe Pagano, an Aspen-based venture capitalist, who has known Epstein since before his Bear Stearns days, can’t say enough nice things: “I have a boy who’s dyslexic, and Jeffrey’s gotten close to him over the years…. Jeffrey got him into music. He bought him his first piano. And then as he got to school he had difficulty … in studying … so Jeffrey got him interested in taking flying lessons.”"
[FF - Knew Epstein before he made it to the big time! Like family!!]

Sentigen Holding Corp. conducts business through two wholly-owned operating subsidiaries: Sentigen Biosciences, Inc. ("Sentigen Biosciences") and Cell & Molecular Technologies, Inc. ("CMT"). As previously disclosed in a press release dated September 1, 2006, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Invitrogen Corporation ("Invitrogen"), a Delaware corporation, and Arctic Fox Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Invitrogen ("Merger Sub") on August 31, 2006. A special meeting of the stockholders of Sentigen is scheduled for November 14, 2006 to consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. CMT provides contract research and development services to companies engaged in the drug discovery process in the following areas: molecular and cell biology, gene expression and protein biochemistry, bio-processing, high throughput screening support services, mouse genetics, and cell-based GPCR selectivity profiling. CMT works in cooperation with Sentigen Biosciences to commercialize specific applications of the Tango(TM) Assay System. Sentigen Biosciences has been primarily engaged in the development and commercialization of novel bioassay systems that elucidate the underlying biology of protein-protein interactions. Sentigen Biosciences has initially targeted its Tango(TM) Assay System to address the functionalization of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) for pharmaceutical drug discovery and development. Sentigen Biosciences is devoting a significant portion of its research effort and resources to the development of a novel molecular profiling system, which the Company through CMT is commercializing. Management intends to continually review the commercial validity of the Tango(TM) Assay System, its applicability to functionalizing orphan GPCRs and the prospects of our new novel molecular profiling system in order to make the appropriate decisions as to the best way to allocate our limited resources. While we believe our ...
Invitrogen is one of several brands under the Thermo Fisher Scientific corporation. The product line includes various subbrands of biotechnology products, such as machines and consumables for polymerase chain reaction, reverse transcription, cloning, culturing, stem cell production, cell therapy, regenerative medicine, immunotherapy, transfection, DNA/RNA purification, diagnostic tests, antibodies, and immunoassays.
The predecessor corporation was Invitrogen Corporation (formerly traded as Nasdaq: IVGN), headquartered in Carlsbad, California. In 2008, a merger between Applied Biosystems and Invitrogen was finalized, creating Life Technologies. The latter was acquired by Thermo Fisher Scientific in 2014.
Founding
Invitrogen was founded in 1987 by Lyle Turner, Joe Fernandez, and William McConnell and was incorporated in 1989. The company initially found success with its kits for molecular cloning—notably, The Librarian, a kit for making cDNA libraries, and the FastTrack Kit for mRNA isolation from biological samples.
William McConnell left the company in 1989.
In 1999, the company, which had reached sales of $33 million the prior year, went public, with a plan of consolidating biotechnology research boutique suppliers. The company had become quite successful at licensing technologies into its niche market, of cloning and expression, but determined that many niche leaders were not interested in licensing, and M&A needed to be added to the company's set of tools for growth.
Mergers and acquisitions
Invitrogen acquired NOVEX, in cloned protein characterization, within 60 days of going public. In December 1999, it purchased Research Genetics, Inc., a leader in genomics and synthetic DNA chemistry, becoming a $100 million (annual sales) company within a year of its IPO.
The business scope expanded significantly when it acquired the rival biotechnology and cell culture company Life Technologies in 2000; Life had been formed in 1983 when GIBCO (Grand Island Biological Company) which had been founded around 1960 in New York, merged with a reagent company called Bethesda Research Laboratories. The company continued to add technologies through a series of mergers and acquisitions, which broadened its customer base and strengthened its intellectual property portfolio. Among these, established companies such as Ethrog Biotechnology, Molecular Probes (fluorescence-based detection), Dynal (magnetic bead–based separation), Panvera (proteins and assays for drug screening), InforMax (software for computational biology and bioinformatics), BioSource (cellular pathway analysis), CellzDirect (cell products and services for research) and Zymed and Caltag Laboratories (primary and secondary antibodies) have been brought under the Invitrogen brand. Invitrogen acquired Sequitur in 2003 to obtain Sequitur's proprietary Stealth(TM) RNAi technology.
In 2008, Invitrogen virtually doubled its size with the purchase of biotech instrumentation company Applied Biosystems, maker of DNA sequencing and PCR machines and reagents. The company then renamed the overall organization as Life Technologies. The Invitrogen brand and most of the brands acquired still exist on product packaging, although the overall company is called Life Technologies. In summer 2010, the company acquired the computer chip DNA sequencing company Ion Torrent Systems. Through this history of acquisitions and continued product research and development, Invitrogen / Life Technologies had over 50,000 products.

Innovation and impact
Under a contract from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), the company developed a prototype hand-held pathogen detection system for the detection of multiple toxins such as ricin, staphylococcal enterotoxin, and botulinum toxin, as well as bacteria that cause anthrax, plague, and other diseases, in a single sample.
Invitrogen was also awarded a contract to provide kits for detecting possible E. coli O157 contamination in food at the 2008 Summer Olympcics in Beijing, China.[citation needed] The monitoring program, based on World Health Organization food standards, is conducted by the Beijing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Olympic Food Safety program. Similarly, the company's PathAlert technology was selected to monitor Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of the plague, at the Torino Winter Games in 2006. Their Qubit platform for RNA, DNA, and protein quantitation was awarded an R&D 100 Award as being a "Top 100 Technologically Significant New Product" by R&D Magazine.
Invitrogen developed and introduced stem cell products. Among more than 1,200 products for stem cell research, the company offered an engineered stem cell line (BG01v/hOG) and various STEMPRO products for manual passaging of human embryonic stem cells (hESC), to promote hESC growth and expansion, and to allow scientists to ascertain hESC pluripotency.
Cell & Molecular Technologies, Inc. (CMT), formed by the merger of Specialty Media, Inc. and Molecular Cell Science, Inc. in mid-1997, offers state-of-the-art, cost- and time-effective contract R&D services and specialized research products to clients engaged in biopharmaceutical and biotechnology research. CMT's contract research & development activities are distinguished by a close collaborative approach between the client's scientists, CMT's staff scientists, and CMT's academically-based Core Scientific Advisory Board.

FF - Are patterns and connections to the thesis I've laid out beginning to take shape? Crazy conspiracy? Still think the darkest story of Jeffrey Epstein is about simple pedophilia and kompromat? Following the money. Spotting patterns. Searching for Truth. Finding it?
You're not afraid it won't work, you're afraid it will.
We o it all the time with dogs, cattle, etc. Breed them for desirable characteristics.
Remove the negative ones. Planned Parenthood did that for decades, chlorinating our gene pool by aborting dysgenic black children with no fathers, saving us all from being crime victims and having to build more prisons.
Imagine in a single generation we could breed out the entire trailer trash population of AmeriKKa. No more racists, no more Trump voters, no more xenophobes, no more attacking trans kids.
It would work. It need only be done once and then we are done with them forever.
What's wrong with eugenics? Hmmm. Who's the gatekeepers for the future of the human race? Up until now it was God. And Man as God has a very poor track record.
What do you consider desirable traits? Are those traits considered universally desirable? Would those who don't possess those traits agree to be eliminated from the gene pool? By either sterilization or euthanasia? Maybe they disagree?
Maybe the ones who possess those traits you consider to be undesirable are the ones making decisions about whose genes go into the future, whose don't? Maybe those you consider to be undesirable are in control and think that your genes aren't worthy?
When the "them" is "you" what will you say? Will you be like the Chinese supporters of Mao and Communism who forgave the student activists for executing them, shouting "Long live the People's Revolution!" as the door dropped below their feet and the noose snapped their neck in the fall? Or will you say, "WTF!?! I thought *I* had the superior genes! Who are these trailer trash racist Trump voter xenophobes who attack trans kids to say *I* have undesirable characteristics?" as the door drops below your feet in that millisecond before your neck snaps?
As your family, friends, all you know and love meet the same fate at the hands of who you consider to be undesirables.
Man as God has a very poor track record. These decisions are best left to God. Fallen men deciding - and ALL men are fallen - is how mass murder crimes against humanity happens. They don't call it that. They say it's just the inevitable cracking of eggs to make omelets. Eggs = Skulls. Omelets = Promised Utopia. And they're the Executive Chefs. Not you, Egg.
Chris, thank you for introducing me to the term arriviste. It reduces Epstein to the character he was, and simplifies our ability to understand his motives and behaviors.
Done, he is dead, which is so much better accountability than most of our evil humans receive.
That we as a society continue to focus on this minor evil. While making sure we do not have to focus on babies being thrown in ovens to bake to death, while parents and grandparents are forced to watch them being executed. At the same time, the videos are sent to the world, but are unwatched.
The Holocaust is back after less than 80 years of saying, “never again”.
While the West watched and supported Iran's development of nuclear weapons.
And yet it is not 'done' - so long as those to whom Epstein and Maxwell allegedly trafficked underage girls remain inadequately investigated. As long as the shady financial dealings with which he was entangled - including but not limited to Epstein's unexplained and dramatic increase in wealth - remain in the dark.
At the least, the American public has a right to know what and how Epstein, and Maxwell, were investigated; what evidence was used to indict them, what evidence was use to convict Maxwell, etc.
After all, every single person in a federal government position works for, and is - under the Constitution - ultimately answerable to We the People. And the Constitution is the only lawful source of authority for the federal government, or for each of the individuals in federal positions -- elected, appointed, or hired - through which the federal government acts; the only way the federal government can act.
The inexplicably poor handling of this case by Bondi has only increased interest in this case. The gaslighting and abuse of the trust so many had in this Administration and the hope that Trump an his appointees would live up to campaign promises of transparency - to which the citizens have a right... THIS IS NOT 'DONE'.
I see no difference between Epstein‘s behavior and what is and has taken place in Hollywood. To me his life is an illustration of what celebrity culture wants to create in our country. What’s ironic is that so many people in our country who glory in this culture now want his and his associates heads on sticks. Simultaneous with an investigation, a thorough heart search of our own behavior should be taking place in order to deal with our own national idolatrous behaviors.
It is pretty clear that Epstein & Maxwell were running a prostitution, blackmail & influence peddling operation using young girls. Perhaps they were involved with, or run by, the intelligence services of US or friendly powers (Israel and Britain are prime suspects). The girls seem to have been induced into this operation by the promise of money and other rewards. The girls seem to have been willing accomplices, however they subsequently felt about their involvement. Their subsequent lawsuits seem aimed more at a payday than anything else. It appears that they are not above making false accusations to achieve those paydays, which, unfortunately, seems to have become a fairly routine activity in some elements in our society. Their clients were rich and powerful men, mostly Democrats, but probably several Republicans. We already know several who are suspected of involvement: Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, & Bill Gates. The evidence was in the hands of the SDNY, who undoubtedly tried to destroy or hide what they could starting in November 2024. I don’t know what evidence is left. But, if this Administration is using what’s left as leverage to solve the more pressing problems in our country, I’m fine with it. There are more important things to be concerned about.
Ah yes, using it to negotiate trade deals is far more impactful for the long term health of our society, then say, allowing known criminals of the governing classes to continue perpetuating the moral destruction of our society.
Do you feel that a 16 year old girl from a broken home has the capacity to understand the consequences of her actions? Why should we even have a legal age if we're going to ignore it anytime it's inconvenient to leadership and society? Why not lower the legal age to 16 or 14 then?
Well, we have a requirement that there be actual evidence. And that evidence appears to have been destroyed. But the investigation continues. There are the Grand Jury presentations for both Epstein and Maxwell. And, the DoJ is interviewing Maxwell. Perhaps we will finally see this evidence.
As to the girls: 15 years of age has been the age of consent in many cultures for many centuries. In our country in the early 1900s it was not uncommon for young women to marry the age of 16. It is not hard for a 15 year old to understand that accepting money for sex is wrong. Some still do. It is, as they say, ‘the world’s oldest profession’. So, on a moral level I think that the girls are expected to make that decision for themselves. The legal standards do vary. But none of the activities we are discussing are legal in 99% of the US. (There is a small part of NV where prostitution is legal.) Nevertheless, if the young women willingly engage in prostitution they are not victims, they are participants.
It would be another matter if I believed that the girls were kidnapped, enslaved and forced into the sex trade. I am more concerned about that exact problem with the youthful illegal immigrant population. And I am much more concerned about justice for the women raped by Hamas, the Ukrainian women raped by the Russians, etc., etc. Unfortunately none of those women will obtain justice for what is done to them. But I would suggest that you reserve your moral outrage for those women.
Do I think that we should stop national discourse on our many other problems to deal with the Epstein / Maxwell problem. Not at all. I think the drug and sex trafficking that is facilitated by illegal immigration deserves more attention. I think war and peace in the Middle East and Ukraine deserve more attention. I think the treasonous activities that accompanied the Russian Hoax deserve more attention. And that is just the short list. And ultimately, I trust this Administration much more than its predecessors to find solutions to these problems as well as the truth of the Epstein / Maxwell investigation.
really cool line of argument to make! rufo and the right haven't said that LGBTQ people existing makes them groomers. it's not their central thesis. keep pushing ate of consent it makes you look normal
No. Legal consent is a legal issue and the age of consent depends on the jurisdiction. I’m talking about the ability to make moral judgements, understand right from wrong and make your own decisions about which one you will chose. They were mature enough to say, “No thanks. Keep your money. I’m not doing that.” And they were old enough to understand that when they took the other path they were doing something wrong and that they were breaking the law.
Yeah we get it, you want to hold the base together but posts like this one is what’s fueling the fire. Normal people who voted for Trump don’t like creepy billionaires who prey on young teenage girls from the wrong “side of the tracks” and pimp them out to their like-minded rich and powerful buddies. Trump promised the Epstein files, but we got nothing more than we had last year most has already been made public. Don’t promise something if you don’t intend to actually deliver. Don’t run on transparency and call the people who voted you in conspiracy theorists because they are simply expecting you to do what you said. The only thing we should be deriving from this is how the sexual abuse committed against those with less money and resources doesn’t matter to those in power. That is what this is about. It’s not about “society” it’s not about some proverbial “boogey man” it’s about 100+ underage girls some as young as 12 whose lives were forever changed and their psyche’s forever manipulated by someone with immense wealth and power. All I want to know is when did everyone stop caring about 12 year old girls?
Yeah, no...you can't just dismiss all the conspiracy theories, and replace them with a bland whitewash. Conspiracy theories exist for a reason, and have a habit of proving true or partly true in time. If any of the conspiracies are real, they are having serious impact on all our lives. If the 'rulers' of this world, the lawmakers and war-makers and international-policy makers and power-hungry billionaires are corrupt (did I really say, "IF"?), then the future for the majority of mankind is bleak. Indeed the present is already bleak for at least half of the world's population. And that's no accident.
This entire piece reads like an attempt to diffuse valid questions and concerns the American people have - not just about what Epstein was doing, with whom, and why - but also questions about how our "trustees and servants" in government positions, our "fiduciaries", handled the Epstein case. They work for us, in a government We the People constituted, "ordained and established".
Diffuse... distract... explain it all away as little more than an insecure guy from "humble" beginnings who - unaccountably - became extremely wealthy. Never mind the girls who were exploited. Never mind the people Epstein and Maxwell trafficked them to. Never mind how Epstein went from barely middle class income to owning an NYC mansion, private jets, and private islands.
'Move along', Rufo essentially says, 'Nothing to see here.'
Yeah, I thought the same thing. It’s crazy how quickly peoples moral compasses shift when they feel it doesn’t align exactly with their political ideology. These were young girls and they deserve justice.

Boasting such social names as Nancy Kissinger, Brooke Astor, and Robert Bass, the board also includes such pre-eminent scientists as Nobel laureate Joseph Goldstein. “Epstein was thrilled to be elected,” says someone who knows him."
[FF - Interesting friends, no?]
"Thanks to Epstein’s introductions, says Martin Nowak, the biologist finds himself moving from Princeton to Harvard, where he is assuming the joint position of professor of mathematics and professor of biology. Epstein has pledged at least $25 million to Harvard to create the Epstein Program for Mathematical Biology and Evolutionary Dynamics, and Epstein will have an office at the university. The program will be dedicated to searching for nature’s algorithms, a pursuit that is a specialty of Nowak’s. For Epstein this must be the summit of everything he has worked toward: he has been seen proudly displaying Harvard president Larry Summers’s letter of commitment as if he can’t quite believe it is real. He says he was reluctant to have his name attached to the program, but Summers persuaded him."
...
"Nowak says that, when he goes to stay with Epstein in the Caribbean, they’ll get up at six and, as the sun rises, have three-hour conversations about theoretical physics. “Then he’ll go off and do some work, re-appear, and we’ll talk some more.”"
[FF - We're back to that Martin Nowak fellow, the (pseudo)science of eugenics! The summit of EVERYTHING he had worked for!]
"Joe Pagano, an Aspen-based venture capitalist, who has known Epstein since before his Bear Stearns days, can’t say enough nice things: “I have a boy who’s dyslexic, and Jeffrey’s gotten close to him over the years…. Jeffrey got him into music. He bought him his first piano. And then as he got to school he had difficulty … in studying … so Jeffrey got him interested in taking flying lessons.”"

Sentigen Holding Corp. conducts business through two wholly-owned operating subsidiaries: Sentigen Biosciences, Inc. ("Sentigen Biosciences") and Cell & Molecular Technologies, Inc. ("CMT"). As previously disclosed in a press release dated September 1, 2006, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Invitrogen Corporation ("Invitrogen"), a Delaware corporation, and Arctic Fox Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Invitrogen ("Merger Sub") on August 31, 2006. A special meeting of the stockholders of Sentigen is scheduled for November 14, 2006 to consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. CMT provides contract research and development services to companies engaged in the drug discovery process in the following areas: molecular and cell biology, gene expression and protein biochemistry, bio-processing, high throughput screening support services, mouse genetics, and cell-based GPCR selectivity profiling. CMT works in cooperation with Sentigen Biosciences to commercialize specific applications of the Tango(TM) Assay System. Sentigen Biosciences has been primarily engaged in the development and commercialization of novel bioassay systems that elucidate the underlying biology of protein-protein interactions. Sentigen Biosciences has initially targeted its Tango(TM) Assay System to address the functionalization of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) for pharmaceutical drug discovery and development. Sentigen Biosciences is devoting a significant portion of its research effort and resources to the development of a novel molecular profiling system, which the Company through CMT is commercializing. Management intends to continually review the commercial validity of the Tango(TM) Assay System, its applicability to functionalizing orphan GPCRs and the prospects of our new novel molecular profiling system in order to make the appropriate decisions as to the best way to allocate our limited resources.

Invitrogen is one of several brands under the Thermo Fisher Scientific corporation. The product line includes various subbrands of biotechnology products, such as machines and consumables for polymerase chain reaction, reverse transcription, cloning, culturing, stem cell production, cell therapy, regenerative medicine, immunotherapy, transfection, DNA/RNA purification, diagnostic tests, antibodies, and immunoassays.
The predecessor corporation was Invitrogen Corporation (formerly traded as Nasdaq: IVGN), headquartered in Carlsbad, California. In 2008, a merger between Applied Biosystems and Invitrogen was finalized, creating Life Technologies. The latter was acquired by Thermo Fisher Scientific in 2014.
Founding
Invitrogen was founded in 1987 by Lyle Turner, Joe Fernandez, and William McConnell and was incorporated in 1989. The company initially found success with its kits for molecular cloning—notably, The Librarian, a kit for making cDNA libraries, and the FastTrack Kit for mRNA isolation from biological samples.
William McConnell left the company in 1989.
In 1999, the company, which had reached sales of $33 million the prior year, went public, with a plan of consolidating biotechnology research boutique suppliers. The company had become quite successful at licensing technologies into its niche market, of cloning and expression, but determined that many niche leaders were not interested in licensing, and M&A needed to be added to the company's set of tools for growth.
Mergers and acquisitions
Invitrogen acquired NOVEX, in cloned protein characterization, within 60 days of going public. In December 1999, it purchased Research Genetics, Inc., a leader in genomics and synthetic DNA chemistry, becoming a $100 million (annual sales) company within a year of its IPO.
The business scope expanded significantly when it acquired the rival biotechnology and cell culture company Life Technologies in 2000; Life had been formed in 1983 when GIBCO (Grand Island Biological Company) which had been founded around 1960 in New York, merged with a reagent company called Bethesda Research Laboratories. The company continued to add technologies through a series of mergers and acquisitions, which broadened its customer base and strengthened its intellectual property portfolio. Among these, established companies such as Ethrog Biotechnology, Molecular Probes (fluorescence-based detection), Dynal (magnetic bead–based separation), Panvera (proteins and assays for drug screening), InforMax (software for computational biology and bioinformatics), BioSource (cellular pathway analysis), CellzDirect (cell products and services for research) and Zymed and Caltag Laboratories (primary and secondary antibodies) have been brought under the Invitrogen brand. Invitrogen acquired Sequitur in 2003 to obtain Sequitur's proprietary Stealth(TM) RNAi technology.
In 2008, Invitrogen virtually doubled its size with the purchase of biotech instrumentation company Applied Biosystems, maker of DNA sequencing and PCR machines and reagents. The company then renamed the overall organization as Life Technologies. The Invitrogen brand and most of the brands acquired still exist on product packaging, although the overall company is called Life Technologies. In summer 2010, the company acquired the computer chip DNA sequencing company Ion Torrent Systems. Through this history of acquisitions and continued product research and development, Invitrogen / Life Technologies had over 50,000 products.

Key products and technologies
Utilizing this business strategy, Invitrogen represented a large number of products: Dynabeads magnetic separation technology, GIBCO cell culture media and reagents, SuperScript reverse transcriptase, Platinum Taq polymerase, TOPO cloning and expression products, Novex protein electrophoresis products, and numerous fluorescent reagents such as Qdot nanocrystals, Alexa Fluor, DyLight, RiboGreen and SYBR dyes. Invitrogen currently offers more than 25,000 products and services to support research in cellular analysis, genomics, proteomics, and drug discovery, and seeks to address research problems in developing fields, including biodefense and environmental diagnostics, bioinformatics, epigenetics, and stem cell research.
Innovation and impact
Under a contract from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), the company developed a prototype hand-held pathogen detection system for the detection of multiple toxins such as ricin, staphylococcal enterotoxin, and botulinum toxin, as well as bacteria that cause anthrax, plague, and other diseases, in a single sample.
Invitrogen was also awarded a contract to provide kits for detecting possible E. coli O157 contamination in food at the 2008 Summer Olympcics in Beijing, China.[citation needed] The monitoring program, based on World Health Organization food standards, is conducted by the Beijing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Olympic Food Safety program. Similarly, the company's PathAlert technology was selected to monitor Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of the plague, at the Torino Winter Games in 2006. Their Qubit platform for RNA, DNA, and protein quantitation was awarded an R&D 100 Award as being a "Top 100 Technologically Significant New Product" by R&D Magazine.
Invitrogen developed and introduced stem cell products. Among more than 1,200 products for stem cell research, the company offered an engineered stem cell line (BG01v/hOG) and various STEMPRO products for manual passaging of human embryonic stem cells (hESC), to promote hESC growth and expansion, and to allow scientists to ascertain hESC pluripotency.
Cell & Molecular Technologies, Inc. (CMT), formed by the merger of Specialty Media, Inc. and Molecular Cell Science, Inc. in mid-1997, offers state-of-the-art, cost- and time-effective contract R&D services and specialized research products to clients engaged in biopharmaceutical and biotechnology research. CMT's contract research & development activities are distinguished by a close collaborative approach between the client's scientists, CMT's staff scientists, and CMT's academically-based Core Scientific Advisory Board.

FF - Are patterns and connections to the thesis I've laid out beginning to take shape? Crazy conspiracy? Still think the darkest story of Jeffrey Epstein is about simple pedophilia and kompromat? Following the money. Spotting patterns. Searching for Truth. Finding it?
In what way was he a dead man’s switch? That is a device that is supposed to be protective in some way. And why didn’t Epstein and Maxwell save themselves the enormous risk of a pedophilia charge and recruit 18 year-old girls instead of under 18 year-old girls? How difficult would that have been? There was a reason. Maybe Ehud Barak and the director of the CIA visited his Manhattan townhouse dozens of times just to reassure him that he had nothing to worry about?
A dead man's switch is designed to halt a mechanism if the operator becomes incapacitated. The switch prevents harm. It does not cause harm. It is a safety device. See: railroad safety.
The Mossad connection is not hard to uncover. Robert Maxwell worked for them, ran guns for the fledgling Israeli state, and was given a state funeral by Israel. Ghislaine is his daughter. Referring to Epstein as a cannibal seems way off the mark and, frankly, raises suspicions of its own. Are you gaslighting us? Deflecting? Avoiding the true issue? Running cover? I've never heard anyone claiming this. He and our current oligarchs, lacking anything remotely resembling the aristocratic virtues of old that were summed up in the French expression, Noblesse oblige, were and are therefore beholden simply to their own "perpetuall and restlesse desire of Power after power, that ceaseth onely in Death." There is nothing noble about them. They are rich, disgusting hedonists with little more than the incessant pursuit of more wealth and influence and sickening, soul- and body-destroying pleasures as their guiding star and compass.
"Robert Maxwell," real name Ján Ludvík Hyman Binyamin Hoch. Even the regime-supporting, lying, "look-no-further, there's-nothing-to-see-here" Wikipedia says he worked for Mossad.
Unless & until I see so HARD evidence I am Done with the whole Epstein story.
“See hard evidence?” When does the citizen SEE hard evidence of anything EVER? More like NEVER; hence all the endless churning of conspiracies, lies, fantasies, decades of questions, stories and convolutions.
I'm speaking in the Legal sense of the word. This time last year I KNEW Epstein was murdered and there was a blackmail Book/List. Today...No. OR Donald Trump, Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Dan Bongino are Lying.
It is hard to believe that if anything is hidden that it wouldn't come flying out to embarrass Trump.
The number of solid blue government employees seems to ensure that there s nothing there that could hurt Trump or his allies.
Occam's Razor suggests that there is no cover up in the current administration because its impossibly hard.
This Epstein story has Force me to say those 3 little words we all So Love To Say...I...Was...Wrong.
You'd think by this late stage of my life I'd be used to them....But I'm Not.
I don't take much of a stand unless I see real evidence.
Perhaps its a defense againy my belief that the rich get different treatment.
And Your solution is...what?
(this should be good)
The victims, past, present, and future, deserve better.
Deserve better - every victim of heinous acts “deserves better”. What defines “deserve better” is the question. Having just watched the victim impact statements at the sentencing hearing of Kohberger, who brutally murdered four totally innocent people, young adults in their beds, I think they “deserve better”. Mr. Goncalves was vocal in his opposition to the deal that was brokered. He & the other families didn’t get the justice they wanted or felt they “deserved”.
There are horrible acts committed every single day against innocent people & they all “deserve better”. The questions are who defines “better”, what is “justice”?
The next time one gets a jury summons, perhaps we should think about the everyday, mundane and what justice looks like & our responsibility as citizens to ensure that justice.
NOT saying Epstein was a great guy. He Was a Douche Bag and the world is better off with him Dead.
What do you mean deserve better? Dominick Ragucci, an 18-year-old student and vacuum cleaner salesman was murdered in 1979 by Gambino Capo Roy DeMeo. His family got no real justice.
Epstein is tip, bottom, and middle of the child-sex-trafficking sin destroying our nation. We are the #1 consumer of the fruit of this demonic tree that needs to be felled...or we have no future. Period!
If there was any it was destroyed by Comey’s daughter, the prosecutor, who refused to turn over the files.
Maureen Comey……. has a face only a mother could love (ugh). Good by and good riddance to her can’t come soon enough to her.
probs a lesbo...
Suit yourself. The puzzle pieces fit together perfectly as I see it. Tucker has it right.
To wave it off, set it aside, regard it as unimportant, strikes me as horrific carelessness.
Mossad with zero evidence. And a Mossad blackmail scheme to get support for Israel. Right out of Protocols of the Elders of Zion
Jeffrey Epstein was a Jew.
So is Ghislaine Maxwell.
Epstein had Ehud Barak as an overnight guest at his house.
Why's it so hard to imagine an apartheid, racist government that's committing a genocide would run a child rape ring against Americans?
It's very easy to believe.
And "move the goalposts" is a standard tactic of IDF propaganda units ( yes, they have these) who spend shifts posting on sites like these.
???
Your last comment; do you think the reason for the visits was to participate in pedophilia? Or just that wealthy people want to associate with wealthy people? Because if it’s the former it would seem we’re back to at least one of the conspiracies you mentioned.
The reasons. That you will find nobody else sharing. Questioning everything, following the money, using logic and reason is the best path to truth.
For all the good Chris Rufo does exposing bad things, and he does much good, he's outside his forte to offer commentary on Epstein as nothing more than a Gatsby character. He exhibits unusual-for-Chris simplistic understanding of what drove Epstein. His "company" of teenage girls was about much more than sex with underage Lolitas. Or kompromat, as most "conspiracy theorists" opine.
Sharing with all readers a condensed(?) bit of information for others to peruse to see how well the thesis of simple "minor-attracted persons" holds up to what really drove his sexual exploits. And who else, what other agendas were attached to those "sexual exploits." It all begins, and ends with: Eugenics.
Eugenics:
Jeffrey Epstein’s Harvard Connections Show How Money Can Distort Research
Scientific American, September 1, 2020
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/jeffrey-epsteins-harvard-connections-show-how-money-can-distort-research
"What made it even worse was that Epstein was a latter-day eugenicist whose interests were tied to a delusional notion of seeding the human race with his own DNA. Given this stance, it is particularly disturbing that he focused his largesse on research on the genetic basis of human behavior. "
Eugenics:
How Jeffrey Epstein Captivated Harvard
The Nation, July 24, 2023
https://www.thenation.com/article/society/jeffrey-epstein-harvard-summers/
"Only later would it become apparent why Epstein was so interested in funding Nowak’s work on evolution and genetics: As The New York Times reported, he hoped to seed the human race with his DNA by impregnating women at his ranch in New Mexico. That reflected his broader aspiration to use techniques like genetic engineering and artificial intelligence to select certain traits to produce superior human beings—a modern-day version of eugenics and its idea of controlled breeding. And Epstein had managed to enlist Harvard in that enterprise."
It was only AFTER the second arrest that Harvard bothered to close its eugenics research center:

Who is the exceptional Martin Nowak who ran the planned evolutionary design center?:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Nowak
He's done a lot of work in genetics, planned evolutionary design, EUGENICS. And weaves in sophisticated understanding of the mind sciences, mathematical modelling, game theory. And guess what else? Researching viruses!! Like HIV-AIDS! Remember, Fauci's first murderous antisocial foray was making people fear the presence of gay people and pushing another deadly experimental biotech concoction, AZT, as treatment! And Martin Nowak's early research was directly tied to that. As well as eugenics:
Viral Dynamics in HIV Type-1 Infection
Nature, January 12, 1995
https://sci-hub.se/https://www.nature.com/articles/373117a0
To do planned evolutionary design with genes it takes game theory modeling, understanding human behaviors, psychology. If you're trying to design the evolution of humanity. Selecting for desired genetics, eliminating undesirable ones:

Dissertation: Stochastic strategies in the prisoner's dilemma
Mathematics Subject Classification: 91—Game theory, economics, social and behavioral sciences
North Dakota St University, 1989
https://mathgenealogy.org/id.php?id=70042
This type of work, attempting to take control of the evolution of man, selecting which genes continue is really the work of men who believe they are gods, or god-like. And only Atheists are susceptible to this type of arrogance. They often call themselves "Humanists" who "follow the best science." Meaning, God is irrelevant to them, a fiction, an opiate for the masses:
Can science, religion coexist in peace?
Harvard Gazette, March 15, 2007

Their ethics are 'honorable':

Honored by Interfaith religious institutions as top "Humanists," even as they publicly declares they're "good without god":
https://www.interfaithamerica.org/article/dr-anthony-fauci-named-2021-humanist-of-the-year/
More of Nowack's work. Remember, Jeffrey Epstein showered his work with millions and millions and millions of dollars, a very close friend, confidant:

Jeffrey Epstein's depravities are far more meaningful than Chris Rufo suggests. They served a much larger purpose than just his own sexual desires and satisfaction. Much larger purpose than just gaining kompromat on other wealthy and powerful people. At the very heart of his pedophilia was his belief in eugenics, his desire to be a modern-day Genghis Khan, spreading his genes into the future human population. Developing the genetic blueprints with other like-minded powerful human and social engineers to create the future humanity of their vision. "Fixing" God's "mistakes."
These ideas Epstein and his backers support are very master race, Hitlerian stuff. That lives beyond him. His same type of work on animals, livestock, is envisioned for humanity. Same science. Same value to those leading and funding this type of research. That humanity is little more than cattle. Chattel. For which they consider themselves "good stewards" of. THIS is what Jeffrey Epstein's work was advancing. Eugenics. Which has a tie-in with virus research, given that more than half of human DNA has viral origins:
https://www.cshl.edu/the-non-human-living-inside-of-you/
Epstein's focus, genetic engineering, eugenics, applied to the animal kingdom, even our food supply:

That is where we will find Truth. Men who would-be gods unto themselves. This is the untold story of Jeffrey Epstein. And the "elites" and scientists he orbited with. And what a true investigation of him will reveal.
But wait, there's more!!
This very detailed story about Epstein from *before* his first arrest has a whole lot of info to connect many dots with. That lead to further investigation. Interestingly, the author of this Vanity Fair piece uses the same Gatsby reference that Chris Rufo did,

Invitrogen acquired Sequitur in 2003 to obtain Sequitur's proprietary Stealth(TM) RNAi technology.
In 2008, Invitrogen virtually doubled its size with the purchase of biotech instrumentation company Applied Biosystems, maker of DNA sequencing and PCR machines and reagents. The company then renamed the overall organization as Life Technologies. The Invitrogen brand and most of the brands acquired still exist on product packaging, although the overall company is called Life Technologies. In summer 2010, the company acquired the computer chip DNA sequencing company Ion Torrent Systems. Through this history of acquisitions and continued product research and development, Invitrogen / Life Technologies had over 50,000 products.

FF - Are patterns and connections to the thesis I've laid out beginning to take shape? Crazy conspiracy? Still think the darkest story of Jeffrey Epstein is about simple pedophilia and kompromat? Following the money. Spotting patterns. Searching for Truth. Finding it?
What's wrong with eugenics?
You're not afraid it won't work, you're afraid it will.
We o it all the time with dogs, cattle, etc. Breed them for desirable characteristics.
Remove the negative ones. Planned Parenthood did that for decades, chlorinating our gene pool by aborting dysgenic black children with no fathers, saving us all from being crime victims and having to build more prisons.
Imagine in a single generation we could breed out the entire trailer trash population of AmeriKKa. No more racists, no more Trump voters, no more xenophobes, no more attacking trans kids.
It would work. It need only be done once and then we are done with them forever.
What's wrong with eugenics? Hmmm. Who's the gatekeepers for the future of the human race? Up until now it was God. And Man as God has a very poor track record.
What do you consider desirable traits? Are those traits considered universally desirable? Would those who don't possess those traits agree to be eliminated from the gene pool? By either sterilization or euthanasia? Maybe they disagree?
Maybe the ones who possess those traits you consider to be undesirable are the ones making decisions about whose genes go into the future, whose don't? Maybe those you consider to be undesirable are in control and think that your genes aren't worthy?
When the "them" is "you" what will you say? Will you be like the Chinese supporters of Mao and Communism who forgave the student activists for executing them, shouting "Long live the People's Revolution!" as the door dropped below their feet and the noose snapped their neck in the fall? Or will you say, "WTF!?! I thought *I* had the superior genes! Who are these trailer trash racist Trump voter xenophobes who attack trans kids to say *I* have undesirable characteristics?" as the door drops below your feet in that millisecond before your neck snaps?
As your family, friends, all you know and love meet the same fate at the hands of who you consider to be undesirables.
Man as God has a very poor track record. These decisions are best left to God. Fallen men deciding - and ALL men are fallen - is how mass murder crimes against humanity happens. They don't call it that. They say it's just the inevitable cracking of eggs to make omelets. Eggs = Skulls. Omelets = Promised Utopia. And they're the Executive Chefs. Not you, Egg.
This is just word salad.
By taking control of our genetic destiny we can eliminate dysgenic populations like in Appalachia.
Planned Parenthood has done an excellent job keeping down the dysgenic black population.
THat’s Man(woman, actually, Margaret Sanger) gatekeeping the future of the human race.
By killing them as babies. Just like drowning an unwanted child in the bathtub, but more painful as they are cut into pieces while still alive.
Oh. Got it. I missed the sarcasm font.
Chris, thank you for introducing me to the term arriviste. It reduces Epstein to the character he was, and simplifies our ability to understand his motives and behaviors.
The character he was? A Jew who ran a child rape against Americans for Israel?
Ehud Barak was his overnight houseguest.
Done, he is dead, which is so much better accountability than most of our evil humans receive.
That we as a society continue to focus on this minor evil. While making sure we do not have to focus on babies being thrown in ovens to bake to death, while parents and grandparents are forced to watch them being executed. At the same time, the videos are sent to the world, but are unwatched.
The Holocaust is back after less than 80 years of saying, “never again”.
While the West watched and supported Iran's development of nuclear weapons.
And yet it is not 'done' - so long as those to whom Epstein and Maxwell allegedly trafficked underage girls remain inadequately investigated. As long as the shady financial dealings with which he was entangled - including but not limited to Epstein's unexplained and dramatic increase in wealth - remain in the dark.
At the least, the American public has a right to know what and how Epstein, and Maxwell, were investigated; what evidence was used to indict them, what evidence was use to convict Maxwell, etc.
After all, every single person in a federal government position works for, and is - under the Constitution - ultimately answerable to We the People. And the Constitution is the only lawful source of authority for the federal government, or for each of the individuals in federal positions -- elected, appointed, or hired - through which the federal government acts; the only way the federal government can act.
The inexplicably poor handling of this case by Bondi has only increased interest in this case. The gaslighting and abuse of the trust so many had in this Administration and the hope that Trump an his appointees would live up to campaign promises of transparency - to which the citizens have a right... THIS IS NOT 'DONE'.
It's clear by now that to Jews, "never again" meant "never again to us", but it's ok when we do it to others.
Tulsi Gabbard confirmed the intelligence evaluation of Iran, nowhere near nukes.
Onthe other hand, we need to have international inspectors into Israel's nuclear stockpile.
Iraq got invaded for refusing them access.
We have troops in Syria. Regime change in Tel Aviv followed by Libya and Ukraine-style nuclear disarmament is called for.
I see no difference between Epstein‘s behavior and what is and has taken place in Hollywood. To me his life is an illustration of what celebrity culture wants to create in our country. What’s ironic is that so many people in our country who glory in this culture now want his and his associates heads on sticks. Simultaneous with an investigation, a thorough heart search of our own behavior should be taking place in order to deal with our own national idolatrous behaviors.
It is pretty clear that Epstein & Maxwell were running a prostitution, blackmail & influence peddling operation using young girls. Perhaps they were involved with, or run by, the intelligence services of US or friendly powers (Israel and Britain are prime suspects). The girls seem to have been induced into this operation by the promise of money and other rewards. The girls seem to have been willing accomplices, however they subsequently felt about their involvement. Their subsequent lawsuits seem aimed more at a payday than anything else. It appears that they are not above making false accusations to achieve those paydays, which, unfortunately, seems to have become a fairly routine activity in some elements in our society. Their clients were rich and powerful men, mostly Democrats, but probably several Republicans. We already know several who are suspected of involvement: Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, & Bill Gates. The evidence was in the hands of the SDNY, who undoubtedly tried to destroy or hide what they could starting in November 2024. I don’t know what evidence is left. But, if this Administration is using what’s left as leverage to solve the more pressing problems in our country, I’m fine with it. There are more important things to be concerned about.
Probably made some FBI guys at the SDNY wealthy to facilitate destruction of evidence.
Move on. Trump the golden god said we got bigger fish to fry.
Here’s have a go at Obama. Y’all go after Obama. He’s gay.
Obama conducted a treasonous abuse of power. Whether he is gay or not is irrelevant.
Ah yes, using it to negotiate trade deals is far more impactful for the long term health of our society, then say, allowing known criminals of the governing classes to continue perpetuating the moral destruction of our society.
Do you feel that a 16 year old girl from a broken home has the capacity to understand the consequences of her actions? Why should we even have a legal age if we're going to ignore it anytime it's inconvenient to leadership and society? Why not lower the legal age to 16 or 14 then?
Well, we have a requirement that there be actual evidence. And that evidence appears to have been destroyed. But the investigation continues. There are the Grand Jury presentations for both Epstein and Maxwell. And, the DoJ is interviewing Maxwell. Perhaps we will finally see this evidence.
As to the girls: 15 years of age has been the age of consent in many cultures for many centuries. In our country in the early 1900s it was not uncommon for young women to marry the age of 16. It is not hard for a 15 year old to understand that accepting money for sex is wrong. Some still do. It is, as they say, ‘the world’s oldest profession’. So, on a moral level I think that the girls are expected to make that decision for themselves. The legal standards do vary. But none of the activities we are discussing are legal in 99% of the US. (There is a small part of NV where prostitution is legal.) Nevertheless, if the young women willingly engage in prostitution they are not victims, they are participants.
It would be another matter if I believed that the girls were kidnapped, enslaved and forced into the sex trade. I am more concerned about that exact problem with the youthful illegal immigrant population. And I am much more concerned about justice for the women raped by Hamas, the Ukrainian women raped by the Russians, etc., etc. Unfortunately none of those women will obtain justice for what is done to them. But I would suggest that you reserve your moral outrage for those women.
Do I think that we should stop national discourse on our many other problems to deal with the Epstein / Maxwell problem. Not at all. I think the drug and sex trafficking that is facilitated by illegal immigration deserves more attention. I think war and peace in the Middle East and Ukraine deserve more attention. I think the treasonous activities that accompanied the Russian Hoax deserve more attention. And that is just the short list. And ultimately, I trust this Administration much more than its predecessors to find solutions to these problems as well as the truth of the Epstein / Maxwell investigation.
really cool line of argument to make! rufo and the right haven't said that LGBTQ people existing makes them groomers. it's not their central thesis. keep pushing ate of consent it makes you look normal
I have no idea what you are talking about. The Epstein / Maxwell ring were clearly traditional hetrosexuals.
you're talking about age of consent being 15 you freak lol
No. Legal consent is a legal issue and the age of consent depends on the jurisdiction. I’m talking about the ability to make moral judgements, understand right from wrong and make your own decisions about which one you will chose. They were mature enough to say, “No thanks. Keep your money. I’m not doing that.” And they were old enough to understand that when they took the other path they were doing something wrong and that they were breaking the law.
Democrats already want to do that with the voting age.
Why would the destruction of evidence not have started in 2021?
It might have started earlier, but it surely started in November ‘24
Jay Gatsby - the perfect description.
Epstein would have to hide his pedophilia to the world, so it's easy to see why most around him didn't know.
This, of couse, changed over time as his depravity was revealed and he was shunned by the same people he sought as associates.
Your writing is awkward and uncomfortable on this subject—contrary to your usual eloquent confident prose.
@Ram- I took it as 'in your face' which is what I want out of a real journalist.
I detected AI
Anytime I read,
it not just about… It’s about…
Yeah we get it, you want to hold the base together but posts like this one is what’s fueling the fire. Normal people who voted for Trump don’t like creepy billionaires who prey on young teenage girls from the wrong “side of the tracks” and pimp them out to their like-minded rich and powerful buddies. Trump promised the Epstein files, but we got nothing more than we had last year most has already been made public. Don’t promise something if you don’t intend to actually deliver. Don’t run on transparency and call the people who voted you in conspiracy theorists because they are simply expecting you to do what you said. The only thing we should be deriving from this is how the sexual abuse committed against those with less money and resources doesn’t matter to those in power. That is what this is about. It’s not about “society” it’s not about some proverbial “boogey man” it’s about 100+ underage girls some as young as 12 whose lives were forever changed and their psyche’s forever manipulated by someone with immense wealth and power. All I want to know is when did everyone stop caring about 12 year old girls?
Yeah, no...you can't just dismiss all the conspiracy theories, and replace them with a bland whitewash. Conspiracy theories exist for a reason, and have a habit of proving true or partly true in time. If any of the conspiracies are real, they are having serious impact on all our lives. If the 'rulers' of this world, the lawmakers and war-makers and international-policy makers and power-hungry billionaires are corrupt (did I really say, "IF"?), then the future for the majority of mankind is bleak. Indeed the present is already bleak for at least half of the world's population. And that's no accident.
This entire piece reads like an attempt to diffuse valid questions and concerns the American people have - not just about what Epstein was doing, with whom, and why - but also questions about how our "trustees and servants" in government positions, our "fiduciaries", handled the Epstein case. They work for us, in a government We the People constituted, "ordained and established".
Diffuse... distract... explain it all away as little more than an insecure guy from "humble" beginnings who - unaccountably - became extremely wealthy. Never mind the girls who were exploited. Never mind the people Epstein and Maxwell trafficked them to. Never mind how Epstein went from barely middle class income to owning an NYC mansion, private jets, and private islands.
'Move along', Rufo essentially says, 'Nothing to see here.'
Disappointing.
Yeah, I thought the same thing. It’s crazy how quickly peoples moral compasses shift when they feel it doesn’t align exactly with their political ideology. These were young girls and they deserve justice.
Chris Rufo, for all the good you do exposing bad things, and you do much good, you're outside your forte to offer commentary on Epstein as nothing more than a Gatsby character. You exhibit unusual-for-you simplistic understanding of what drove Epstein. His "company" of teenage girls was about much more than sex with underage Lolitas.
Sharing with you a condensed(?) bit of information for you and others to peruse to see how well the thesis of simple "minor-attracted persons" holds up to what really drove his sexual exploits. And who else, what other agendas were attached to those "sexual exploits." It all begins, and ends with: Eugenics.

Scientific American, September 1, 2020
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/jeffrey-epsteins-harvard-connections-show-how-money-can-distort-research
"What made it even worse was that Epstein was a latter-day eugenicist whose interests were tied to a delusional notion of seeding the human race with his own DNA. Given this stance, it is particularly disturbing that he focused his largesse on research on the genetic basis of human behavior. "
Eugenics:
How Jeffrey Epstein Captivated Harvard
The Nation, July 24, 2023
https://www.thenation.com/article/society/jeffrey-epstein-harvard-summers/
"Only later would it become apparent why Epstein was so interested in funding Nowak’s work on evolution and genetics: As The New York Times reported, he hoped to seed the human race with his DNA by impregnating women at his ranch in New Mexico. That reflected his broader aspiration to use techniques like genetic engineering and artificial intelligence to select certain traits to produce superior human beings—a modern-day version of eugenics and its idea of controlled breeding. And Epstein had managed to enlist Harvard in that enterprise."
It was only AFTER the second arrest that Harvard bothered to close its eugenics research center:

Who is the exceptional Martin Nowak who ran the planned evolutionary design center?:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Nowak
He's done a lot of work in genetics, planned evolutionary design, EUGENICS. And weaves in sophisticated understanding of the mind sciences, mathematical modelling, game theory. And guess what else? Researching viruses!! Like HIV-AIDS! Remember, Fauci's first murderous antisocial foray was making people fear the presence of gay people and pushing another deadly experimental biotech concoction, AZT, as treatment! And Martin Nowak's early research was directly tied to that. As well as eugenics:
Viral Dynamics in HIV Type-1 Infection
Nature, January 12, 1995
https://sci-hub.se/https://www.nature.com/articles/373117a0
To do planned evolutionary design with genes it takes game theory modeling, understanding human behaviors, psychology. If you're trying to design the evolution of humanity. Selecting for desired genetics, eliminating undesirable ones:

North Dakota St University, 1989
https://mathgenealogy.org/id.php?id=70042
This type of work, attempting to take control of the evolution of man, selecting which genes continue is really the work of men who believe they are gods, or god-like. And only Atheists are susceptible to this type of arrogance. They often call themselves "Humanists" who "follow the best science." Meaning, God is irrelevant to them, a fiction, an opiate for the masses:

Jeffrey Epstein's depravities are far more meaningful than Chris Rufo suggests. They served a much larger purpose than just his own sexual desires and satisfaction. Much larger purpose than just gaining kompromat on other wealthy and powerful people. At the very heart of his pedophilia was his belief in eugenics, his desire to be a modern-day Genghis Khan, spreading his genes into the future human population. Developing the genetic blueprints with other like-minded powerful human and social engineers to create the future humanity of their vision. "Fixing" God's "mistakes." Very master race, Hitlerian stuff. This type of work on animals, livestock, is envisioned for humanity. Same science. Same value to those leading and funding this type of research. That humanity is little more than cattle. Chattel. For which they consider themselves "good stewards" of. THIS is what Jeffrey Epstein's work was advancing. Eugenics. Which has a tie-in with virus research, given that more than half of human DNA has viral origins:
https://www.cshl.edu/the-non-human-living-inside-of-you/
Epstein's focus, genetic engineering, eugenics, applied to the animal kingdom, even our food supply:

And what world-altering event happened just a few months after Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself? Coincidence? Dead men tell no tales, Chris. Open your mind, expand your paradigm. That is where we will find Truth. Men who would-be gods unto themselves. This is the untold story of Jeffrey Epstein. And what a true investigation of him will reveal.
Thank you for this.
But wait, there's more!!
This very detailed story about Epstein from *before* his first arrest has a whole lot of info to connect many dots with. That lead to further investigation. Interestingly, the author of this Vanity Fair piece uses the same Gatsby reference that Chris Rufo did,
"But, as with Jay Gatsby, myths and rumor swirl around Epstein." Maybe Rufo had already read this, pulled it from the vault!
The Talented Mr. Epstein
Vanity Fair, March 1, 2003
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2003/03/jeffrey-epstein-200303
Some interesting excerpts:
"Epstein’s appointment to the board of New York’s Rockefeller University in 2000 brought him into greater social prominence. Boasting such social names as Nancy Kissinger, Brooke Astor, and Robert Bass, the board also includes such pre-eminent scientists as Nobel laureate Joseph Goldstein. “Epstein was thrilled to be elected,” says someone who knows him."
[FF - Interesting friends, no?]
"Thanks to Epstein’s introductions, says Martin Nowak, the biologist finds himself moving from Princeton to Harvard, where he is assuming the joint position of professor of mathematics and professor of biology. Epstein has pledged at least $25 million to Harvard to create the Epstein Program for Mathematical Biology and Evolutionary Dynamics, and Epstein will have an office at the university. The program will be dedicated to searching for nature’s algorithms, a pursuit that is a specialty of Nowak’s. For Epstein this must be the summit of everything he has worked toward: he has been seen proudly displaying Harvard president Larry Summers’s letter of commitment as if he can’t quite believe it is real. He says he was reluctant to have his name attached to the program, but Summers persuaded him."
...
"Nowak says that, when he goes to stay with Epstein in the Caribbean, they’ll get up at six and, as the sun rises, have three-hour conversations about theoretical physics. “Then he’ll go off and do some work, re-appear, and we’ll talk some more.”"
[FF - We're back to that Martin Nowak fellow, the (pseudo)science of eugenics! The summit of EVERYTHING he had worked for!]
"Joe Pagano, an Aspen-based venture capitalist, who has known Epstein since before his Bear Stearns days, can’t say enough nice things: “I have a boy who’s dyslexic, and Jeffrey’s gotten close to him over the years…. Jeffrey got him into music. He bought him his first piano. And then as he got to school he had difficulty … in studying … so Jeffrey got him interested in taking flying lessons.”"
[FF - Knew Epstein before he made it to the big time! Like family!!]

Sentigen Biosciences has initially targeted its Tango(TM) Assay System to address the functionalization of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) for pharmaceutical drug discovery and development. Sentigen Biosciences is devoting a significant portion of its research effort and resources to the development of a novel molecular profiling system, which the Company through CMT is commercializing. Management intends to continually review the commercial validity of the Tango(TM) Assay System, its applicability to functionalizing orphan GPCRs and the prospects of our new novel molecular profiling system in order to make the appropriate decisions as to the best way to allocate our limited resources. While we believe our ...
Invitrogen
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invitrogen
Invitrogen is one of several brands under the Thermo Fisher Scientific corporation. The product line includes various subbrands of biotechnology products, such as machines and consumables for polymerase chain reaction, reverse transcription, cloning, culturing, stem cell production, cell therapy, regenerative medicine, immunotherapy, transfection, DNA/RNA purification, diagnostic tests, antibodies, and immunoassays.
The predecessor corporation was Invitrogen Corporation (formerly traded as Nasdaq: IVGN), headquartered in Carlsbad, California. In 2008, a merger between Applied Biosystems and Invitrogen was finalized, creating Life Technologies. The latter was acquired by Thermo Fisher Scientific in 2014.
Founding
Invitrogen was founded in 1987 by Lyle Turner, Joe Fernandez, and William McConnell and was incorporated in 1989. The company initially found success with its kits for molecular cloning—notably, The Librarian, a kit for making cDNA libraries, and the FastTrack Kit for mRNA isolation from biological samples.
William McConnell left the company in 1989.
In 1999, the company, which had reached sales of $33 million the prior year, went public, with a plan of consolidating biotechnology research boutique suppliers. The company had become quite successful at licensing technologies into its niche market, of cloning and expression, but determined that many niche leaders were not interested in licensing, and M&A needed to be added to the company's set of tools for growth.
Mergers and acquisitions
Invitrogen acquired NOVEX, in cloned protein characterization, within 60 days of going public. In December 1999, it purchased Research Genetics, Inc., a leader in genomics and synthetic DNA chemistry, becoming a $100 million (annual sales) company within a year of its IPO.
The business scope expanded significantly when it acquired the rival biotechnology and cell culture company Life Technologies in 2000; Life had been formed in 1983 when GIBCO (Grand Island Biological Company) which had been founded around 1960 in New York, merged with a reagent company called Bethesda Research Laboratories. The company continued to add technologies through a series of mergers and acquisitions, which broadened its customer base and strengthened its intellectual property portfolio. Among these, established companies such as Ethrog Biotechnology, Molecular Probes (fluorescence-based detection), Dynal (magnetic bead–based separation), Panvera (proteins and assays for drug screening), InforMax (software for computational biology and bioinformatics), BioSource (cellular pathway analysis), CellzDirect (cell products and services for research) and Zymed and Caltag Laboratories (primary and secondary antibodies) have been brought under the Invitrogen brand. Invitrogen acquired Sequitur in 2003 to obtain Sequitur's proprietary Stealth(TM) RNAi technology.
In 2008, Invitrogen virtually doubled its size with the purchase of biotech instrumentation company Applied Biosystems, maker of DNA sequencing and PCR machines and reagents. The company then renamed the overall organization as Life Technologies. The Invitrogen brand and most of the brands acquired still exist on product packaging, although the overall company is called Life Technologies. In summer 2010, the company acquired the computer chip DNA sequencing company Ion Torrent Systems. Through this history of acquisitions and continued product research and development, Invitrogen / Life Technologies had over 50,000 products.

Utilizing this business strategy, Invitrogen represented a large number of products: Dynabeads magnetic separation technology, GIBCO cell culture media and reagents, SuperScript reverse transcriptase, Platinum Taq polymerase, TOPO cloning and expression products, Novex protein electrophoresis products, and numerous fluorescent reagents such as Qdot nanocrystals, Alexa Fluor, DyLight, RiboGreen and SYBR dyes. Invitrogen currently offers more than 25,000 products and services to support research in cellular analysis, genomics, proteomics, and drug discovery, and seeks to address research problems in developing fields, including biodefense and environmental diagnostics, bioinformatics, epigenetics, and stem cell research.
Innovation and impact
Under a contract from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), the company developed a prototype hand-held pathogen detection system for the detection of multiple toxins such as ricin, staphylococcal enterotoxin, and botulinum toxin, as well as bacteria that cause anthrax, plague, and other diseases, in a single sample.
Invitrogen was also awarded a contract to provide kits for detecting possible E. coli O157 contamination in food at the 2008 Summer Olympcics in Beijing, China.[citation needed] The monitoring program, based on World Health Organization food standards, is conducted by the Beijing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Olympic Food Safety program. Similarly, the company's PathAlert technology was selected to monitor Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of the plague, at the Torino Winter Games in 2006. Their Qubit platform for RNA, DNA, and protein quantitation was awarded an R&D 100 Award as being a "Top 100 Technologically Significant New Product" by R&D Magazine.
Invitrogen developed and introduced stem cell products. Among more than 1,200 products for stem cell research, the company offered an engineered stem cell line (BG01v/hOG) and various STEMPRO products for manual passaging of human embryonic stem cells (hESC), to promote hESC growth and expansion, and to allow scientists to ascertain hESC pluripotency.

FF - Are patterns and connections to the thesis I've laid out beginning to take shape? Crazy conspiracy? Still think the darkest story of Jeffrey Epstein is about simple pedophilia and kompromat? Following the money. Spotting patterns. Searching for Truth. Finding it?
In what way was he a dead man’s switch? That is a device that is supposed to be protective in some way. And why didn’t Epstein and Maxwell save themselves the enormous risk of a pedophilia charge and recruit 18 year-old girls instead of under 18 year-old girls? How difficult would that have been? There was a reason. Maybe Ehud Barak and the director of the CIA visited his Manhattan townhouse dozens of times just to reassure him that he had nothing to worry about?
A dead man's switch is designed to halt a mechanism if the operator becomes incapacitated. The switch prevents harm. It does not cause harm. It is a safety device. See: railroad safety.
yeah rufo is a shit writer and doesn't have an editor he desperately needs
Feeble attempt to white wash the whole thing:
“Epstein was just a smart conman”.
Sure he was, absolutely no Mossad/CIA involvement. Just a very lucky guy.
For fucks sake , are you on the payroll, just dumb or both.
You asked the question I did, just more bluntly. If we're no longer allowed to post comments without being paid subscribers, we'll know the answer.
The Mossad connection is not hard to uncover. Robert Maxwell worked for them, ran guns for the fledgling Israeli state, and was given a state funeral by Israel. Ghislaine is his daughter. Referring to Epstein as a cannibal seems way off the mark and, frankly, raises suspicions of its own. Are you gaslighting us? Deflecting? Avoiding the true issue? Running cover? I've never heard anyone claiming this. He and our current oligarchs, lacking anything remotely resembling the aristocratic virtues of old that were summed up in the French expression, Noblesse oblige, were and are therefore beholden simply to their own "perpetuall and restlesse desire of Power after power, that ceaseth onely in Death." There is nothing noble about them. They are rich, disgusting hedonists with little more than the incessant pursuit of more wealth and influence and sickening, soul- and body-destroying pleasures as their guiding star and compass.
"Robert Maxwell," real name Ján Ludvík Hyman Binyamin Hoch. Even the regime-supporting, lying, "look-no-further, there's-nothing-to-see-here" Wikipedia says he worked for Mossad.
He is buried on the Mount of Olives.
