the Berlin Wall fell because a bunch of people misunderstood a press conference, flooded the gates, and reached a critical mass. we think about it a lot. the thing about the people in control is, they're out numbered and always will be. all it can take is one little misunderstanding to remind us.

There's a saying "We buy books as if we are buying the time to read them." "Tsundoku (積ん読) i The term originated in the Meiji era (1868–1912) as Japanese slang. It combines elements of the terms tsunde-oku (積んでおく; 'to pile things up ready for later and leave;), and dokusho (読書; 'reading books')."

Then, after being sold to some guy named David who was ultimately arrested, Virginia's dad got her a job at Mar-a-lago. She had just turned 17. Ghislane spotted her in the spa and convinced her to meet her "boss" who wanted a personal masseuse. Her dad took her to meet JE. 10/

Virginia Giuffre was not among his first victims. She was just the most vocal. She was a perfect victim, though. She resigned herself to a life of abuse. Raped by a family friend since 7 y/o, a runaway, abandoned by her mom, and trafficked since she was 14, by pervert Ronald Eppinger. 9/

Epstein had a history of chasing teens for years, since Dalton at least. Maxwell helped him in that regard, too. She "scouted" for him. She promised modeling jobs, education, and introductions to wealthy men who could help them. She always looked for struggling girls. 8/

Epstein was gaining access to the upper social circles at this time. Ghislane introduced Epstein to Trump. DJT had known Maxwell since at least 1989. JE and DJT have a lot in common. They are both social climbers despite having money and are both insatiable womanizers. They are both germaphobes. 7/

Then Epstein began managing money for Les Wexner of Victoria's Secret et al. fame. He had total control of Wexner's money, including power of attorney. He bilked Wexner out of millions. Wexner never went after Epstein. No one knows why not. Shame at being so stupid probably. 6/

Epstein started a firm with a friend and together they hatched a plan that was essentially a Ponzi scheme. Epstein was the money manager and his partner was the sales guy. The partner went to prison and Epstein walked. The money disappeared. 5/

He was a college dropout. According to everyone, he was a genius and a smooth-talker, but very working class. He lied to get a job at Dalton. AG Bill Barr's dad is the one who hired him. He was creeping on students and his lie was uncovered so he was fired. 3/

For everyone wanting to release the Epstein files, almost all of it is published already. Ghislane Maxwell's dad was a fraudster and a creep who beat the living shit out of her regularly. When he died, the family was broke. Funds were seized to pay debts. 1/
