Lots of meat on the bone with this.

This podcast covers it all. Epstein was up to his eyeballs with intelligence—ours, Israel’s, MI6?

Just dropping a list of names without context, I think that’s wrong. I do think a full disclosure of all documents from all sources, including probably hidden files in our intelligence departments is a better way to go.

The line of questions/reasoning no one asks:

Starting with his employment at the Dalton school in the 70s track all tax returns for Epstein until his death in 2019. Name all trusts (Wexner)he was involved with and other complicated instruments.

As a hedge fund manager list everyone he worked with foreign and domestically. If he got all his money from trading name his prime broker. Show all cleared trades. Do these lineup with his tax return?

If he was doing nefarious work or the bidding of intelligence agencies, he might be doing it through shell corporations but those would generate suspicious activity reports like Hunter Biden. Senator Wyden said there were thousands suspicious activity reports totaling over $1.5 billion. Where is the follow up with that?

Just providing a list of people, makes you just part of the problem and cover up if you don’t delve deeper.

Buying over 40 acres west of Austin in the hills less than an hour from downtown (hilly w/ views, tank, barn, 4 mostly dry creek features lined with over 75 red oaks). It is Wildlife exempt (like ag exempt) with a holding cost of $300/year in property taxes. I bought it as a hedge against inflation back in 2007. Co-workers--especially the younger ones --said, "what inflation?". I told them I lived through it as a kid of the 70's and as a retiree inflation is your worst enemy. I took a package from Big Oil in April 2020 and retired, just before inflation took off. Paid it off in 2019. It is worth at least 4X more than when I bought it.

Moved back to Texas after 13 years on the left coast in 2001 with kids ages 5 and 2. Got into the last year of the Texas Tomorrow Fund Prepaid Tuition option. For $17,500 per kid I got each kid 128 credit hours of tuition at UT - Austin. State of Texas bore of the risk of tuition increases.

Been mostly horrible as a stock picker. Had a neighbor in Seattle (venture capitalist) tell me it was over and that Amazon.com was going to be more than a book retailer and dominate retail. This was the late 90's. I didn't invest in Amazon and just loaded up on crappy 401K funds instead.

Youngest walked on to UT baseball team and actually pitched in relief at the Box as a Freshman with mixed results. Small world.
