Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein apparently had quite the casting couch going on in his Manhattan mansion, according to the New York Post.
Epstein, who was formerly 'close' friends with Victoria's Secret
owner Leslie Wexner, "relied on ...[the] modeling business to source
underage girls for sex," according to investigative reporter Conchita
Sarnoff's new book "Trafficking."
According to an account by Italian model Elisabetta Tai, Epstein
tried to take advantage of the 21-year-old aspiring Victoria's Secret
model in 2004 after she was promised that a meeting with a 'very
important' man could land her a gig with the apparel company.
Elisabetta Tai (Via Facebook)
"He told me this is one of the most important people in modeling,"
Tai said of her booking agent. "He said that this man is in charge of
Victoria’s Secret and he’s going to change your life."
"I rang the doorbell of this incredible mansion, and a butler
answered the door," said Tai, originally from Padua - located around 20
miles from Venice. "It was astonishing. It was a very beautiful house,
and I saw about five models walking around as soon as I walked in. I was
so excited."
Tai was greeted by a woman with "short black hair" described as Epstein's longtime confidant and 'Madam,'
Ghislaine Maxwell, who showed her into Epstein's office. While she
hasn't been charged in connection with Epstein's activities, Maxwell has
been accused by three women of recruiting young women for the financier.
The woman with the short hair introduced Tai to Epstein, who was dressed casually in a shirt and jeans, she said. As Epstein started to ask her questions about her background, she noticed a massage table near his desk.
She said she didn’t think anything of it, and reached for her
portfolio to show Epstein her previous modeling work in Italy. Tai had
done a few modeling jobs in her native country, “but nothing big,
nothing like I imagined I could do in America,” she told The Post.
As Tai talked about her experience in halting English, she said
Epstein moved to the massage table and began to remove his clothes.
“I thought he was preparing to have a massage, and that someone was
about to come in to the room and give him a massage,” she said.
But Tai said she panicked when Epstein lay down naked on the table and told her to approach. He then handed her a vibrator, she said.
“I froze,” she said. “I didn’t know what to do.
“I just grabbed the vibrator and threw it at his head,” she said.
“I mean, I don’t know where it landed, I just blacked out and then I ran as fast as I could out of the room.” -NY Post
While trying to run out of the house, the woman Tai fingered as Maxwell grabbed her to ask what she was doing.
"She told me that I couldn’t just leave," said Tai, adding "She said that this man is important, that he is a friend of President Clinton."
Tai said that she was too scared to tell anyone, which means he did
it according to the 'Kavanaugh standard' established by Democrats in
2018.
"I was too scared to tell anyone," Tai told the Post. "I was too shy and scared that someone would come after me to blackmail me or maybe worse."
Epstein, who was an investor in a Manhattan modeling venture, has
been accused by prosecutors of using his connections to the modeling
company to “audition” girls to give him massages that often ended up in
sexual abuse.
...
A former Manhattan-based model agent, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, also alleged an Epstein-Victoria’s Secret pimp pipeline.
“He [Epstein] portrayed himself as the back door to get a girl into Victoria’s Secret. Some of those girls got in,” he said.
He promised the catalog and ad-campaign jobs, not the supermodel fashion-show gigs, he added. -NY Post
"It was still significant cash for a young model doing the catalog," an agent told the Post.
"They weren’t making hundreds of thousands but they could make about
$5,000 a week modeling for the campaigns or the catalog. Not all the
girls sent to him got jobs, but a lot of them did."
According to another Manhattan model entrepreneur, Maxwell was actively recruiting at Victoria's Secret events.
"They were always these really trashy shows full of rich men in the
audience," he said. "Ghislaine acted as the kind of Nazi guard, telling
everyone where they were sitting in the audience and that she had new ‘pop tarts’ which is what she called the young models."
A French think-tank, The Shift Project, reveals that adult material accounts for more than 4% of all carbon dioxide emissionslinked to digital technologies, while porn constitutes 27% of all videos viewed online.
Talk about a carbon handprint...
"...viewing pornographic videos in the world in 2018 generated carbon emissions of the same magnitude as that of the residential sector in France," reads the report.
The authors then shift to a moral argument against porn, suggesting
that "one of the problems mentioned regarding the effects of consuming
pornography at the societal level is the phenomenon of shifting norms:
during the consumption of content by an individual, a trend towards
increased violence in the content viewed, for example, has been
observed, leading to harmful effects on the individual’s sexuality and
their perceptions of physical relationships."
What's more, men can't seem to jerk off without porn.
Catherine Solano, a sexologist, has observed “for several years, that for a large proportion of men, masturbation is inseparable from pornography”
(Solano, 2018). The use of pornography and thus the visualization of
online pornographic videos are therefore now associated with a
utilization governed by highly automatic cognitive mechanisms, which
allows the efficient monetization of the products proposed. Today, the
economic development of viewing online pornographic videos is therefore
built on a cognitive amalgam resulting from the marketing practices of
the sector: the association of using pornography with the physical act
of sex (Roussilhe, 2019).
Seeing a naked body activates an initial automatic reaction in the
brain which arouses interest linked to the evolutive reflex of the
possibility of procreation (Solano, 2018). Since we know that our
cognitive mechanisms host a bias, called “trigger effect”,
that induces inertia in our thought process30 (Marcinkowski, 2019), we
can understand that the sexualization of content for the general public
introduces pornographic uses within a wider mechanism of influence:
exposed to sexualized contents for the general public (advertising,
video clips, etc.).
So - men have a pavlovian response to naked women which results in
eco-unfriendly masturbation - to increasingly violent content.
Surrounded by half-inflated eagles, wearing a "Make Oakland Great Again" hat and dressed as an elf to “deliver Xmas in July”, San Francisco real-estate developer Gene Gorelik stood on a boom lift above a homeless encampment in Oakland on Friday and chanted into a bullhorn, “Free money! Free money!”
The scene follows Gorelik's posting on Facebook that explained Home Depot Oakland could be forced to close (with 300 jobs at stake) because, as he notes "it is under attack by Libbyland" - a reference to Oakland's uber-liberal mayor Libby Schaaf
"I will rent a boom lift from Home Depot and make it rain $300 in singles to show the Citizens of Libbyland I'm serious. Then I'll offer $2000 each to move to 11 4th St. by 8PM. However, if anyone is left in Libbyland at 8PM, no one gets any money. It's all or nothing.
Remember, half the homeless came from outside Oakland. They have been lured in by Libby's promise of free housing.
If you feel Schaafted, please come out for a day of good, clean, fun
community service to save 300 Oakland Jobs from the Libbyland Attack!"
Perhaps unsurprisingly, he was shouted down by community activists
and encampment residents before he was able to turn on his leaf blower
full of cash as they raged at the arrogance of his free-money handout
when what they appear to really want is free houses or moar money than
just 2 grand!!??
"It’s just a slap in the face for the residents,” said Candice Elder,
the chief executive of East Oakland Collective, a community
organization that focuses on racial and economic equity. “He’s not doing anything constructive right now but being disrespectful and classist.”
38-year-old Kay Spikes, who has lived in a tiny house in the
encampment for five years, exclaimed “it really doesn’t do anything..."
“$2,000 would get me maybe a motel for two weeks, some food,” she said.
“You can’t even use that as a deposit. There’s no place in Oakland
that’s $1,000. It doesn’t solve the issue and it sure doesn’t even put a
cushion under it.”
So what do they want?
Simple - as this sign of the 'new normal world of handouts and money-for-nothing' times seems to confirm...
If only 'the rich' would pay just a little fairer share of their
taxes, every homeless person in America can have a house (and a
pony?)... because, after all, isn't owning a house a basic human right?
With self-proclaimed former Area 51 employee Bob Lazar making an appearance on the Joe Rogan Podcast weeks ago, the topic of Area 51 has bubbled back to prominence for the first time in years.
And now, almost 700,000 Facebook users have pledged
to "storm" the area in September in an effort to uncover what they
believe to be some hidden unknown truth at the area, according to Fox News.
"If we [N]aruto run, we can move faster than their bullets. Lets see them aliens," the Facebook group for the event says.
As of the time of writing, 699,000 users were listed on Facebook as "going" to the raid,
which is supposed to take place on September 20, at 3AM. On top of
that, 640,000 more were listed as "interested" in going to the raid. The
plan is supposedly to meet at a nearby “tourist attraction” where they
will “coordinate our entry.”
There's been more than 21,000 posts on the event's page, with some users posting ideas about formations and "game plans" on how the raid would take place.
One user even wrote a disclaimer:
“Hello US government, this is a joke, and I do not actually intend to go ahead with this plan. I
just thought it would be funny and get me some thumbsy uppies on the
internet. I'm not responsible if people decide to actually storm area
51."
Area 51 is an Air Force facility near Groom Lake in Nevada that has long been linked to alien conspiracy theories. "They can't stop all of us," the event page says.
True Blood and Westworld actress Evan Rachel Wood helpfully provides young women with dating advice:
Westworld actor Evan Rachel Wood took to Twitter to attack Stranger Things’ Hawkins Sheriff Jim Hopper.
You should never date a guy like the cop from #strangerthings Extreme
jealousy and violent rages are not flattering or sexy like TV would have
you believe. That is all.
Wood would add, “Yes I am aware its ‘just a show’ and its set ‘in the
80s’ even though this stuff was unacceptable then too, but thats exactly
my point. Its just a show and this is a gentle reminder not to fall for
this crap in real life. Red flags galore.”
Now, keep in mind that Miss Wood is best known for portraying a bisexual
vampire who kills and eats people as well as a killer robot. So if you
take one thing away from this, it is a gentle reminder not to fall for
bisexual vampires and killer robots. Bisexual vampires and killer robots
are not flattering or sexy like TV would have you believe.
Takeaway: never take relationship advice from any woman dumb enough to date Marilyn Manson.
Harley Davidson looks like it will be the first company to market with a mainstream electric motorcycle, according to engadget.
The company's LiveWire electric motorcycle will soon be on the road and
will have a longer range than expected, at 140 miles of city driving on
a single charge. But, like any other electric vehicle, you’ll still
need to hook it up to a charger once in a while.
According to Harley Davidson's website, the bike will be "available in select dealerships through North America and Western Europe in the fall of 2019. Select additional markets will follow."
The motorcycle has been in the works for more than four years now.
You'll be able to charge it with a Level 1 charger at home, or with a
quicker Level 2 or 3 DC fast chargers, that'll be available at Harley
Davidson dealerships.
The bike comes with seven riding modes that tune the suspension and electric drivetrain differently. It
sports anti-lock brakes and a traction control system, along with a
color touchscreen for navigation and Bluetooth connectivity.
Harley Davidson is offering free charging for its new US customers.
The motorcycle is soon going to be available at a limited number of dealerships and will cost about $30,000. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in just three seconds. There is no clutch and no shifting.
Harley Davidson is looking to revitalize its business after
struggling with declining sales and an aging client base both in the
United States and abroad. Sales of its motorcycles were down 4.2% and
international sales were down 3.3% in the first quarter of 2019.
Police in Oklahoma stopped a vehicle that was reported as stolen on June 26 and found a rattlesnake, a canister of radioactive powdered uranium and an open bottle of Kentucky Deluxe whiskey, according to AP and KFOR. The stop took place in Guthrie, which is about 30 miles north of Oklahoma City.
Stephen Jennings was charged with possession of a stolen vehicle,
transporting an open container of liquor, operating a vehicle with a
suspended license, and failure to carry security verification form. His
passenger, Rachael Rivera, was charged with possession of a firearm
after a former felony conviction.
The stop was made at about 11AM for an expired tag. Jennings
was in the driver's seat, Rivera was in the passenger's seat and their
"pet Timber rattlesnake" was in the backseat, in a terrarium. Jennings told police he had a gun in the console right around the same time the vehicle was reported as stolen.
Speaking about the vehicle's unusual inventory, a local police officer said:
"When that happens of course, we call in a company that deals with that specifically and it`s taken safely into possession. The uranium is the wild card in that situation."
Oddly enough, there have been no charges stemming from the rattlesnake or the uranium thus far. "It happens to be rattlesnake season at the time, so he
can be in possession of this rattlesnake because he has a valid lifetime
hunting and fishing license," the officer concluded.
I hope everyone is do good and enjoying the weather even though we have had some really warm days. We are suppose to get some rain this weekend so stay dry. Here are your questions.
1) Would you rather rain or the naughty S word?
2) Have you had the chance to get your car washed?
3) Are you having a hard time getting around because of all the stupid construction?
4) Do you agree we have two seasons construction and winter?
Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Summit.news, “Something much bigger is behind this" Conservative commentator Ann Coulter says that sex trafficker
Jeffrey Epstein had a “state sponsor” backing him and that his
operation was a way to blackmail powerful men.
During an appearance on 790 KABC, Coulter suggested that Epstein is merely the front man for a far more powerful network.
“Epstein according to both the girls accounts, he wanted them to have sex with powerful men, come back to him and report on it,
describe what they wanted what their fetishes were and he had cameras
throughout the house so this is obviously for blackmailing purposes,”
said Coulter.
“It just seems to me something much bigger is behind this — perhaps a state sponsor — powerful enough people...
...it just seems to me there’s something a very powerful force behind what’s going on here and I am still nervous about this not coming to a conclusion, somehow this getting compromised,” she added.
Coulter said that it remained a mystery as to how Epstein became a billionaire and that the source of his money should be investigated.
Former President Bill Clinton attempted to distance himself from
Epstein last night, claiming he only flew on the infamous ‘Lolita
Express’ private jet four times despite flight logs showing at least 26
trips.
As we reported yesterday, speculation is swirling that Epstein may give up names of influential people who used his network in order to secure a maximum prison sentence of no more than five years.

So my time is tight on this page, but I do want to thank the
Democrats for choosing to have their big honking convention pow-wow in
Our Town next summer, so that I can be nominated for president right
here in my own hometown. That’s very thoughtful, and I do appreciate it.
Cripes, I can walk down to the Fiserv, accept the nomination, speechify
a bit, head over to the Uptowner tavern/charm school to have a couple,
three, then get home and sleep in my own bed focking free of charge.
That’s what I call a full day, I kid you not.
Now, about Trumple-thinskin’s jewel of a July 4 speech and how our
Revolutionary War army took over the airports to help us turn the tide,
I’m reminded of the words of the late, great philosopher and sage,
George Gobel: “If it weren’t for electricity, we’d all be watching
television by candlelight.” So true, ain’a?
It’s too bad the Orange Man’s teleprompter apparently went kaput at
some point, because I was waiting for him to talk about when George
Washington telephoned President Ben Franklin to see if he could enlist
the aid of some of the dinosaurs known to frequent the area to help
stomp the British bastards into submission.
Oops! I hear Ernie honking the horn, which means I’ve got to go, but I’ll leave you with a little summertime story: So this priest, a doctor and a lawyer by the name of William Barr
are out trying to enjoy a nice round of golf at the club, but the
groups in front of them are really, really slow. The priest, doctor and
the lawyer by the name of William Barr get to the second hole and
they’ve got to wait 20 minutes to tee off. Third hole, they’re waiting
another 20 minutes. Fourth hole, same thing. Fifth hole, the wait is up
to a half-hour and now they’re getting good and ticked off and begin to
shout all kinds of insults toward the group in front of them—some of
which couldn’t be printed in a goddamn family focking newspaper, I kid
you not. This goes on for another couple, three holes—slow play, insults,
slow play, heated invective—until the course marshal approaches the
priest, doctor and the lawyer by the name of William Barr and says, “I’m
sorry gentlemen, if I neglected to tell you, but I ask you for a little
patience since today we have an outing for blind golfers.” Right there and then, the priest drops to his knees and commences
to bewail how badly he feels for getting so angry, how one of his
parishioners is blind and has the sweetest biggest heart in the world,
how this blind guy always volunteers for the church’s annual cook-out
for orphans. Then the doctor chimes in with how he has a blind uncle who
helped support him through medical school and so must go apologize at
once to the group in front of them for his rude behavior. And the lawyer by the name of William Barr says, “You got to be
jerking my beefaroni. They’re blind!??! What the fock, they could’ve
played last night.”
Ba-ding! And au revoir, ’cause I’m Art Kumbalek and I told you so.
Ahead
of the Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee, virtually all
Democratic presidential candidates have expressed their support for the
legalization of cannabis, a new stance for most of them. Just a few
years ago, only a select few were championing cannabis, the first of
whom was Bernie Sanders.
As early as 1972, Sanders was already standing up to support rights
for American citizens to consume marijuana. Following his bid for
governor of Vermont, he wrote it plainly in an article:
“‘Could I ask Mr. Sanders if he has ever smoked marijuana?’ Strangely
enough, despite all the times that I had talked about the need for
legalizing marijuana, that was the first time that question was ever
directly asked of me. I said, ‘Yes, I have smoked marijuana.’” For
decades, Sanders was the only one, among the current roster of
Democratic presidential hopefuls, to stand up for marijuana through
initiatives like co-sponsoring a medical marijuana bill as early as 1996.
It wasn’t before the early 2000s that others offered tentative
support for cannabis reform—Cory Booker, Mike Gravel and Beto O’Rourke,
specifically. Then, as the 2016 presidential election loomed and polls
reported that 50% of Americans were in favor of cannabis reform, more
and more politicians started coming out in favor of it. Steve Bullock
and Eric Swalwell were among the first to express support, years before
Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris did. Medical Marijuana, Inc. (MJNA), a marijuana and hemp company, recently revealed a timeline and guide of
the presidential candidates’ stances on marijuana. It clearly shows
that, after Donald Trump’s victory in 2016, the floodgates opened, and a
tidal wave of support for marijuana reform hit the Democratic Party.
The political trend seems to closely follow the changing opinion of the
American people on the matter. Gallup polls report that support for marijuana legalization reached an all-time high of 66% at the end of 2018.
Jeffrey Epstein has been arrested for allegedly sex trafficking
dozens of minors in New York and Florida between 2002 and 2005,
according The Daily Beast.
Epstein is reportedly due to appear in court on Monday, about 12 years
after the 66 year old received a slap on the wrist for allegedly
molesting dozens of underage girls.
The new charges claim that “Epstein sexually exploited dozens of
underage girls in a now-familiar scheme: paying them cash for
‘massages’ and then molesting or sexually abusing them in his Upper East
Side mansion or his residence in Palm Beach.”
The woman was among dozens of people on Friday searching for lost
items at Navy Pier in the aftermath of a chaotic end to Chicago’s
annual fireworks show.
On the verge of tears, she explained to staffers at the pier’s
lost-and-found that she was scheduled to fly to New York and needed the
identification she had lost Thursday night when word of an active
shooter spread through crowds pouring out of the pier’s Fourth of July
celebration, causing panic and pandemonium.
Witnesses said cries from young children pierced the air. Parents
desperately searched for lost children. Hostesses in a nearby restaurant
hid under tables. Some people even tried to hide in a freezer and
storage area at the restaurant, according to two servers who work there.
We heard, but can't confirm, that they charged people for parking,
again, to pick up their stuff. How many dozens of thousands of people
went home and told all their friends about their "wonderful" experience
at Navy Pier this holiday and swore to never set foot in the city again?
Special Ed and Fred Waller were the usual political toadies:
Amid the commotion, private security officers assigned to the
event signaled a possible active shooter threat and began telling the
crowd to take shelter, inciting a “stampede-like” scenario, said Chief
of Patrol Fred Waller. At least 17 people were injured, and 31 juveniles
were arrested on disorderly conduct-related charges, police said.
“I was there personally, and I can tell you things were very chaotic,”
Waller told reporters. “In the end, there was never an active shooter,
and no one was shot.”
Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson was reluctant to criticize the
private security guards for apparently sparking the chaotic scene,
saying, “We want to err on the side of caution.” He said he planned to
talk with them.
Who has the politically connected contract for the Metropolitan and Pier
Exposition Authority grounds? And how many ex-exempt members of the CPD
are working there as we speak? Media trolls - are you asking these
questions?
We're going to have to give credit for this one to all sorts of people,
starting with Rahm, and continuing through Crimesha, Tommy, Timmy, Toni,
Special Ed, with special appearances by Shortshanks and Groot, seeing
as how the buck stops there.
Jeffrey
Epstein has been arrested for allegedly sex trafficking dozens of
minors in New York and Florida between 2002 and 2005, according The Daily Beast.
Epstein is reportedly due to appear in court on Monday, about 12 years
after the 66 year old received a slap on the wrist for allegedly
molesting dozens of underage girls.
The new charges claim that "Epstein sexually exploited dozens
of underage girls in a now-familiar scheme: paying them cash for
'massages' and then molesting or sexually abusing them in his Upper East
Side mansion or his residence in Palm Beach."
Epstein's abuse allegations date back more than a decade and have
been recently brought to light by his victims and authorities. Up until
now, and even in the midst of the #MeToo movement, Epstein has been able
to avoid any type of meaningful jail time.
In an era where #MeToo has toppled powerful men, Epstein’s name was largely absent from the national conversation, until the Miami Heraldpublished a three-part series on
how his wealth, power and influence shielded him from federal
prosecution. For years, The Daily Beast reported on Epstein’s easy jail
sentence and soft treatment by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, which ultimately scrapped a 53-page indictment against
Epstein. An earlier version of Epstein’s plea deal included a 10-year
federal sentence—before his star-studded lawyers threatened to go to
trial in a case prosecutors feared was unwinnable, in part because
Epstein’s team dredged up dirt on the victims, including social media
posts indicating drug use.
Employees and associates of Epstein allegedly recruited the girls for
Epstein, and some victims also became recruiters themselves. The girls
were as young as 14 and police allege that Epstein knew they were
underage. Epstein's attorney, Martin Weinberg, declined to comment
Saturday night.
Epstein has been accused of transporting young women on his private
jet to facilitate the abuse, according to his alleged victims. For more
background on the allegations already made in lawsuits, and in the
public domain against Epstein, read the full Daily Beast article here.
Recall, back in 2017, we wrote about former
secret service agent Dan Bongino threatening to reveal new details
about Bill Clinton’s 26 documented trips aboard notorious pedophile
Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet, nicknamed the “Lolita Express."
Bongino dropped a ominous-sounding threat at the time: “...people
know things not yet released publicly about your messiah Hillary. Don’t
poke the bear loser, you may not like the results. #Epstein #EmailGate,”
tweeted Bongino.
For those who are unfamiliar with his story, Jeffrey Epstein is a New
York City financier who pled guilty in 2008 to a single count of
soliciting sex from an underage girl. He eventually spent 13 months in
prison and was forced to register as a level three sex offender
(considered the highest risk of re-offending) though stories of his lust
for girls as young of 12 have spread like wildfire in recent years.
Epstein allegedly installed beds in his custom jet, and also
purportedly filmed powerful men during romps with underage girls to
obtain materials for blackmail.
The UK has been accused of brazen hypocrisy after raising concerns about
the state of democracy and human rights in Hong Kong, a former British
colony once ruled by unelected colonial governors. Beijing denounced
British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt as “shameless,” after Hunt
declared that the UK would “stand behind the people of Hong Kong in
defense of [their] freedoms” amid protests over a controversial
extradition law with China.
The British haven’t always been so concerned about “protecting
democracy” in Hong Kong, however. Before the city was handed over to
China in 1997, Hong Kong was a British colony and administered by an
unelected, and always British, governor.
The glaring double-standard is clearly hypocritical, former US diplomat Jim Jatras told RT.
I’m sad to say that not only the British but the American and most other
Western governments – ‘hypocrisy’ should be part of the official title
of how they conduct their affairs, how they deal with human rights
issues at home, and then how they will use any pretext to support things
like color revolutions.
The British are currently ruled by the unelected European Commission and
they never allowed elections in Hong Kong while they ruled it. Why on
Earth should China, or anyone else, pay any attention to their pious
virtue-signaling now?
From: http://voxday.blogspot.com/2019/07/the-hypocritic-bankruptcy-of.html This post reminds me of two things at least.
1) No one seems to be able to mind their own business anymore. The
West seems to be full of sanctimonious busybodies.
2) Democracy is the worst form of government. Look what it has done to the USA.
Update (0945ET): California Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency for San Bernardino County following the 7.1-magnitude quake, establishing emergency shelters and directing state agencies to assist.
Friday's earthquake lasted around 10 seconds longer than the Fourth
of July earthquake in Searles Valley. According to the US Geological
Survey, it was followed by at least 16 aftershocks of magnitude 4 or greater. The agency has warned of a 50% chance of another magnitude 6 quake in the coming days, and a 10% chance of a magnitude-7 tremor in the next week.
