also, "all I think about" isn't Epstein. I'm capable of of having more that one thought. That's why I don't like people telling me what to think about.

ostensibly, for now. It's peeling them off. If Epstein didn't matter, why is he spending so much to distract from it?

I try not to let other people tell me what to pay attention to, and when to wake up, and what to get upset with and ... whatever. Epstein has the power to bring him down and stop the fascist shit, and Venezuela matters less to me.

The reason we're invading Venezuela is because they have so much oil that we'll forget all about the Epstein Files. All the Venezuelans I talk to say they are eager to become part of the US because then they can emigrate.

I've looked at various sources, and I've found dead.net to be the most accurate so that's what I went with. I've also read some things from Robert Hunter that talk about it. There is a lot of variation though. One source also said "Burial ground". Not sure what a "Bandian crowd" is.
