whiteny webb on epstein and the blowback; 

 

I just think it’s really interesting that the leading outlet pushing the “Epstein Mythology” narrative is Compact Magazine, which is funded by Soros’ Open Societies and Peter Thiel. Thiel has a lot of egg on his face with respect to Epstein given the releases of the last 12 months or so and Soros’ nephew Peter is a circled name in Epstein’s black book (i.e. accused of actively enabling sex trafficking by Epstein’s former butler).

The Epstein case and all of its “conspiratorial” bents have been around since 2019, and in some circles before. Yet, only when the Epstein case became truly inconvenient for the Big Tech oligarchs like Thiel/Musk and for the Trump administration, did this narrative become so prominent so suddenly. Compact seems to be in the middle of most of it. Also notable is that a lot of the “independent” voices making the Epstein mythology narrative previously cultivated public trust in figures like Musk or Thiel as well as the incoming Trump administration or figures currently serving in it (e.g. Tulsi Gabbard). Never before it was a problem for those actors were they interested in questioning the Epstein case, even when there were many years to do so........more..........
