The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

That's interesting. I was aware of the Epstein and Ghislaine mess, but wasn't really following it too closely. What little I encountered made it sound like there was a -for lack of a better way of saying it- "little black book" with names. Perhaps I assumed too much in thinking it was like a madam's book of clients. Haven't really heard much about it since Epstein's death. - 1pg

-------------------

I too thought I was aware. In addition to the little black book there were the mysterious Lolita Express flight logs that were reported to have all sorts of politicians, celebrities and uber wealthy taking Epstein's plane to Pedophile Island. And somehow I had the impression many of them went there to partake of the pleasures offered by the young girls collected by Epstein and Maxwell. Not offending the powerful would be a good reason to avoid a real investigation (see Hunter Biden).

However, under the gentle but persistent questioning by Albaby, I honestly have to admit I had it wrong. To respond to him, I wanted to find the list of "johns" and not having any success doing a direct search, I tried searching out all the women who had complaints against Epstein. None of them implicated anybody besides Epstein and/or Maxwell except for the one Prince Andrew accusation. So I have changed my perspective on the Pedophile Island issue. However, I still maintain a general skepticism that there is bias and political influence at the highest levels of the FBI.
