No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.

To protect the overall organization and potentially to protect other people in his life. My impression from looking at the documents is that this is a very large international network. I imagine there would be consequences for being caught, such as the torture and murder of everyone you hold dear. If your only options are to kill yourself or to get murdered and have everyone around you also tortured and killed, I could see a narcissist choosing the former option.
I don’t know anything for sure, but the released files definitely gave me the impression that Epstein was not the top of the chain. Rather, he seems like the American representative of an extensive global cabal. Somebody out there was putting together those sample albums of girls for him. Somebody was running the brothels he seemed to be visiting. He was getting calls from all over the globe with descriptions of new girls. It seems to go much deeper than just Ghislaine trolling the local middle schools for fresh meat.
So, if he did kill himself (heavy on the if), then I’d imagine it was partially because there is a scarier monster out there who is ready to take out the trash if anybody gets sloppy.
If anyone can't imagine Donald Trump or Prince Andrew torturing family members, I do want to add a reminder that Israel's Mossad seems to be heavily tied into Epstein and potentially the trafficking ring itself.
You misunderstand me—I can see them being ok with torturing family members, but if the options are to either die by suicide or die by murder plus they demolish your empire, I think there’s a chance that they choose the former.
Correcting you wasn't my intention at all. Sorry if it sounded like I was. I was merely adding to what you were saying (or attempting to).
It’s all good, friend. I, too, apologize if I misinterpreted your response.
Look at us—just two civil lemmings having a polite conversation. This really is the superior social media.
