A recap for those just tuning in:
Vixen thinks Jeffery Epstein ran a Satanic Cult with global reach. This claim is based on off-the-wall artwork in his home and a variety of sculptures found around his private island. None of this artwork is Satanic unless you view it through Vixen's version of what Satanism is and thus what is Satanic. The rest of the claims (secret underground lairs complete with a dock for a submarine, etc) come from Qanon websites, and that pantheon of British journalism, The SUN. At no point do the actual facts of the Epstein case or cases come into play in this thread unless brought up by others. For some as yet unexplained reason the act of grooming underaged girls and boys to be used as sex -puppets for Epstein and his rich and powerful friends is not evil enough, and a dark supernatural element must be added into the mix. As if Satanism explains everything. |

The vibe I'm getting from Vixen is like certain fundamentalist Christian sects that believe anyone not worshiping their god in their way are, in fact, worshiping Satan.
Even the idea that fans of some Celebrity are by their 'devotion' worshiping Satan. The "you worship whats on your mind" is also Satan. |

I don't want to get into theological argument here but didn't Satan say to Jesus in the desert (for 40 days and 40 nights) come up to the top of this mount and look at the sight of the cities spread out ahead of you; all this could be yours if you bow down and worship me. The hidden message here is that Satan owns the world (material things) which he tempts people with in exchange for wealth and material stuff.
Just because you don't believe in the philosophy of good and bad it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. We are all on this earth for a very short time. It can be meaningless as it is for an animal or it can be on a higher consciousness. |

I was putting it forward as a hypothesis as it is starkly obvious to me a conspiracy of a large number of people in positions of power. If these people can simply acquire sex any time they want, they obviously did not need to associate with Epstein to get it.
With Epstein they got authorised orgies in authorised (ritualistic) settings. |

******** come in all types, but every single time someone played the satan worshiper child abuse card with our department the evidence collected never supported the SW narrative.
Our agency successfully investigated serious child molestation cases that went to trial and ended in convictions but no allegation of satanic abuse or satanic ritual abuse has ever proved out - and in a couple of those cases it was clear from investigating the claim and the evidence that the only abuse that took place was in an adult's imagination. YMMV, but in my pov Epstein et al were/are a bunch of garden variety pedos and it's too bad they didn't organize a nice boat trip for themselves that ended with the intervention of an iceberg. |

You just landed squarely in fundamentalist country. I knew I had it right. In point of fact, I have a strong sense of your flavor of fundamentalism. You should not be 'associating' with the likes of us, shame on you!
At least I now get why your threads seem to be other worldly. They are. And they just keep on giving. |

No, that was just another of God's lies. His Satan is a caricature of any rational being who opposes His evil designs.

1. You assume "people in positions of power" can acquire sex "any time they want" but that's not as simple as you seem to think it is. They just don't get on the internet or look through the phone book, introductions have to be made and both sides have to be vetted before a transaction is made.
2. Epstein offered a way around #1. He threw parties where attractive young women were available for "massages" and so on. Also at these parties were other wealthy people. There were many reasons a politician would attend and many more reasons a rich pervert would RSVP Jeffrey. 3. These parties are held in his homes in NYC, Florida, New Mexico, and the US Virgin Islands. 4. Not everyone who attended these parties was there for sex or even knew about that activity. 5. There is no evidence of ritual activity at any of Epstein's properties. 6. You assume that Epstein was hands-on with his Island's decor. In many cases people with his money just hire a landscape artist and interior decorator and give them a budget and tell them to make it look good. |

Now we've arrived in Crazy Town.
First off, Honey Traps are tailored to the target and are carefully set up. Second, Epstein's parties would have been targeted by just about every intelligence service on the globe as many upscale events are because they are great locations to pick up gossip and intelligence. Nothing about Epstein suggests he was an intelligence asset but there is a lot of circumstantial evidence that he was a blackmailer who used people to enrich himself and win favors from others. |

If you look at parties 'for the rich and famous' you'll see the guys are expected to bring their wives /girlfriends/ first lady / partners along.
With Epstein, guys (like Clinton, Trump, Prince Andrew, Alan Dershowitz) can just turn up without their SO. (Dershowitz claims he was never alone with Epstein without his wife. Ha! 'He who denies it...') Likewise look who it is. It is some bum from blue-collar Brooklyn, a would be maths teacher turned trader then partner, zero talent for anything much. Look next at Jimmy Savile, a mediocre DJ (who unlike Peel, Harris, Freeman and even Tony Blackburn [Motown]) didn't even have good taste in pop music, from a lowly working class area of Yorkshire - Leeds, IIRC, one of the poorest cities in the UK, in terms of slums. No great skill other than tv presenting and even then he was largely overbearing and unbearable. YET. Jimmy Savile was a close friend of Prince Charles, heir apparent. So, like Jimmy Savile - a prolific and notorious paedophile who was never arrested - Jeffrey Epstein, too, was in the inner circle of the Royal Family, even turning up at Balmoral and Windsor Castle. Yet all you guys can do is fail to put two and two together, and claim, 'oh he was just a rich old perv.' Peeps, wake up! It is staring at you. |

No, this wasn't a 'honey trap'. It was a concerted attempt by a non-western intelligence to devalue the social mores of a western one. (Is the hypothesis.)
Robert Maxwell was linked to Mossad long before Epstein came on the scene. So not as far-fetched as you might think. After all, both appeared immune from prosecution until the DAILY MIRROR pensioners kicked up a stink about the emptying of their pension funds. Robert Maxwell had cleared it out and it was only then discovered he'd set up a whole load of fake cardboard cut-out investment companies each transferring money amongst each other that the house of cards collapsed. Daughter Ghislaine pops up a couple of decades later seemingly swimming in money when the family were supposedly bankrupted, so it is likely Maxwell stashed away a few million away from the prying eyes of the Official Receivers and Proceeds of Crime guys. Ghislaine has never been interviewed nor investigated either. |

What is staring me in the face are guys like Joaquin Guzman, John Gotti, Sam Giancana, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison and a list of other rich and powerful men who had little or no college education and yet somehow came to run syndicates of various size and power.
Many of these guys are ethically challenged but none of them got to the top by Satan worship. |

I think you'll notice from the above list, these guys had great talent, especially in IT. IT guys have amongst the highest IQ's, I read somewhere.
Those guys invented things or dreamt up start ups that become exceedingly popular. What did Jeffrey Epstein ever do for mankind? Or come to think of it, Jimmy Savile? |

Well, he seems to have been the best ever recruiter for Satanism.
You, by the way, having enrolled everyone from the Ancient Egyptians to Bill Clinton, are the second best. ![]() Jim'll Fix It ran for years, and brought happiness to countless people. That was one reason why it was such a shock when the truth about him came out. Same with Rolf Harris. |

The massive group shower rooms. The rooms piled high with dozens of cushions. The large underground 'nightclub' rooms where staff were forbidden to tread. The 'baby-making' ranch, with Epsteins crazy-but-true plan to impregnate fifty women at a time with the seed of top scientists and himself.
This is factual. |

Did any victim from the first trial or the ones who made statements in court after Epstein's suicide mention anything about Satanic rituals?

Yeah, in the States a hustler can get pretty far, with a combination of luck and sociopathy. There's nothing remotely implausible about this.
As noted before, y'all have not been around high end baths much. Huge showers are a staple in luxury homes. They are not meant to indicate occupancy, just extravagance. The one pictured earlier had one shower head, and the cosmetics alcoves were consistent with a single rich user's products. If you see any large space, do you assume that it was designed around the concept of uncomfortable group sex on hard flooring and sharp edges with glass walls?

Factual in the sense eye witness ex-staff described it as thus.
There was a submarine dock at Little St Thomas as it was a tourist spot for people to visit for submarine sightseeing. Ghislaine Maxwell was an enthusiastic submarinist and founded TarraMar (_sp?). She was video at a conference bragging that 65% of ocean was outside any legal jurisdiction. Strange topic to have done your homework on. |
