There are a lot of names in the Epstein files and not everyone with a brief mention in an email exchange between illiterate billionaire douchebags was necessarily guilty of anything.

But parsing out the guilty from the innocent is not our job. It's the FBI's, and the DOJ's, and clearly they have a directive, from the top on down, to never sort out the wheat from the chaff. Thus the deluge. "You wanted to see the Epstein Files? Here's a million pages of mostly illegible email correspondence. You figure it out." 

But there's an easy way to do this. And that’s by not sorting out the wheat from the chaff at all.

Thus anyone with even a remote whiff of Jee Vacation on them needs to be MeToo'd harder than Louis CK doing a set in Riyadh of his favorite Bill Cosby bits.

"But what about innocent until proven guilty?" 

That's THE LAW. I'm talking about social shunning. And right now we have no idea what's being covered up and who's being protected. So we have to assume anyone with a net annual income over 8 figures is getting white glove treatment.

Obviously the criminals need to be punished and that's coming eventually, but until the agents of chaos who've usurped our US government are black-bagged and shipped down to Gitmo for forever-waterboarding, the social decree is this: If you were hitting up Jee Vacation for center orchestra tickets to Spamalot in 2005 you're getting on that ice floe with Russell Brand and Danny Masterson.

I know it's not fair. There were some good people, particularly scientists, who were lured into Epstein's web and got out as soon as they smelled the rape and grift. But unfortunately the burden is now on you to convince us that you were one of the good ones. And indeed, a few have accepted this challenge. But not enough.  

As to why Jeffrey Epstein was SO interested in cultivating relationships with scientists there are a lot of theories, most incredibly ghastly. But suffice to say that he wouldn't have been allowed access to so many prominent researchers if science funding was more transparent, centralized, and less dependent on billionaire donations. There's always a quid pro quo with billionaires and it's usually something horrible enough to negate any good your work might've done. Thus the importance of having "kompromat" in the form of a cursed Fantasy Island by way of Salo. I mean Epstein even had Mr Roarke vibes, didn't he? Was Ghislaine his Tattoo? 

Besides, we've been hearing "I cut ties to Jeffrey as soon as I heard about the sex trafficking" for years yet the recent deluge proved that the people saying it the loudest were the biggest liars. So fuck you. And this goes for scientists, tech CEOs, celebrities, personal chefs, and politicians on "both sides of the aisle," which we now know was never a delineation in ideology, just location. So assume that you're cancelled until you can show receipts. Woke 2.0 goes hard.
