Idk why everyone’s so surprised by Chomsky. He’s literally a libertarian (‘socialist’) /s?

Peanut Horse

Jeffrey Epstein is the pinnacle PUA guy if you really think about

helvetica.hottie

I swear. I guess they're treating emailing like texting, but pretty much everyone I know actually uses punctuation and readable syntax. The idea that these idiots are "ruling the world" is lovely. Very encouraging. 🫠🫠

Natalie

initial takeaway from this tranche: men be talking

kenzel

I'm struck by how often Epstein was saying he had no love for Trump, to anyone who would listen. Including Bannon who would be able to give a message to Trump. Possibly by indicating Epstein would try to take Trump down after his arrest. Before this, I would have figured a blackmailer wouldnt signal out who he is ready to burn.

Woke Batou

Manufacturing Teenage Consent

Occhio

but the Chomsky letter of rec isn’t boring. It gives insight into how Noam himself justified Epstein friendship to himself, namely that he got inside info on global power & finance unavailable elsewhere. Chomsky specifically mentions dining w Ehud & Epstein. It’s gross, but slightly less insane.

John Lima

can confirm as a cpa who's been involved in income tax and estate tax planning for rich ppl the epstein / leon black stuff that was released while it has some semblance of real world application it is also a lot of gibberish. it seemed somewhat off the cuff so maybe thats why but if thats the basics of what he supposedly got a $200 mill fee for well that is def sus. i know thats obviously not why he got $200 mill but that just confirms it that mish mosh is not even worth 20k.

He missed the “you’ve always been nice to me, don’t come to school tomorrow” memo.

AJ

"F&B" is flesh and blood, no?

AD

I think it’s bc he knew 1) the vote would go through and 2) the DOJ would say “sorry we can’t release since we have this new investigation (into dems) now.” So he gets to appear in control of the party and also like he wasn’t trying to stop the release (to dumb people who don’t pay attention)

Eight iPads is an extremely cursed lifestyle choice

Natalie

Terje Rød-Larsen (of Oslo Accords fame), who was connected to Epstein a few years back, is also I *think* one of the contacts in this tranche – seems to have also been involved in brokering meeting w Bannon. There’s an exchange elsewhere in the doc dump with Epstein where (presumably) Rød-Larsen sends him a draft to review of an email he was planning to send ‘Sebastian’, in which he sings Bannon’s praises. Very very interesting

Mitch

Doesn’t the timeline with Wolff writing fire and fury and hanging out in the WH all the time imply that Ep and trump are basically communicating through him?

Sam

An Epstein for Dummies series would probably get you an enormous number of new subscribers — it’s difficult to recommend that people listen to most of your earlier episodes about him because some of the things you’ve said have not aged very well. Also: I’m surprised you didn’t mention the fallout Epstein had with Dershowitz that was made clear in these emails, including on one from someone at Harvard who referred to him as a ‘Jewish Nazi’ in an email sent to both Epstein and Norman Finkelstein.

Burger king man

I’m starting the apprenticeship in Jan. Been working residential for 4 years and definitely not proud of the way i’ve been treated and the money i’ve lost getting shafted this long. I’m sure people at the international office might have their hands in plenty of shady shit, but the only way to try and change that is to organize, yknow?

AL

Oh dog, I agree with you in general about the Union as a whole. I was just making a joke. The boy's culture in my local is what kept me non union for the last decade, but I found my own way through the shit... A master's license and my own business lol.

bobore

I know it's not based to say this but I do think the difference is important. It's not that preying on 15 year olds is not bad. It's just that preying on 5 year olds is worse. This kind of thinking causes issues. Of course, you say "who fucking cares I am angry and I hate these people and fuck them" And that's valid but word choices are important

Im the kind of guy who hates dealing head on with customers or going to bs service calls so i’m ready to get out of residential entirely for good haha

Kurz was actually Chancellor from the center-right Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP) not the far right freedom party (FPÖ). But Kurz lead a govt with the FPÖ and was tipped as a sort of maverick, millennial Christian democrat who was going to govern with the far right, ease tensions between Brussels and people like Orbán etc. He stepped down after one of his fash cabinet ministers was recorded in Ibiza, wasted, slumped on a couch in his undershirt, offering state contracts to somebody claiming to be a Russian heiress. Very funny video.

chorchy

how can i get to the trånche

Henry

Am I wrong for thinking the chomsky thing isnt a big deal? He's probably interacted and had dealings with every major war and/or financial criminal on planet earth. It's part of being a "public intellectual" at a prestigious institution

elizabeth klorer

I really think that all mentions of "Macgyver"/"Macgiver" are referencing Trump. I see it more as an older man repeating an analogy many times over because he thought it was so clever, even to the point of re-explaining said analogy. Just wanted to add because I really enjoyed this note

N

I mean Chomsky was visiting his houses in secret, multiple times. I think that might be a big deal lol its not like he was running into him at a conference

TrueAnonPod

IBEW is what it is, building trade and adjacent stuff is always funny ,I got a few friends in it----the funny thing in SF is that it's the one stronghold for the Spartacists

How is it worse? I mean that rhetorically. The distinction is only ever used to minimise the people who prey on teenagers and reframe both as abstract concepts.

AL

Do you mean the German Spartacists?! Why am I not surprised if that's true. The IBEW is a strange place for lots of really strange people.

AL

Weird shit is, is that I'm in a major city and I couldn't fucking stand the Union boys.

Christopher Price

i can't remember when but there was an earlier episode about Chomsky staying Epstein's house in Paris. I believe it was Brace who emailed him about it, and Chomsky was like, "yeah, I Epstein flew me to New York so me and my wife could have dinner with my favorite artist, Woody Allen". which, that is just wild. and there have been other episodes about Epstein's other links with MIT. There are certainly people in the MIT/Microsoft sphere who are also perverts, but mainly it seems to show that academia is willing to kowtow to anyone who drops a little cash their way.

Robert Sayre

look for the "Ibiza" ones... and then look up Tigran

Zzz

I think it’s highly sus for a public intellectual to be spending any amount of time with a well known pedophile. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Christopher Price

as someone who's listened to almost every episode, i think an Epstein 101 series would be good. some of the basics are well known, other basic facts have distorted by the memes, and some fixtures throughout his life (like the Dubins) have gotten zero mainstream coverage. also you need to get the Drop Site crew on here to talk about their angle on the Epstein investigation.

Michael S. Judge

if you guys haven't seen the list of Epstein's most important philosophical insights and questions called "subj: radical breakthrough," you're about to levitate

Reldritch

perfectly cromulent mobjects

K

Everyone’s talking about the “sent from my iPad” but what I’m obsessed with is Epstein’s brother’s email signature (“sent with tin can and string”)

Michael S. Judge

his first insight/question is "does facial hair exist to trap smells"

I am become reply guy

I imagine Epstein writing all of these on an iPad in bed doing Schumer thing with his glasses.

Michael S. Judge

between "dog that hasn't barked" + "police chief etc." + "75% there," I believe Epstein is saying "I'm 75% sure that Trump is the one who dropped a dime to the Palm Beach police chief and got me arrested in 2006, partly because the investigation never mentioned him, and there's no way in hell that Trump just 'didn't come up' the whole time," and Ghislaine's saying "Yeah, that had occurred to me"

Natalie

saw your tweet abt this earlier and laughed at “tounch” so much I almost cried

Michael S. Judge

"dog that hasn't barked" is a Sherlock Holmes line meaning "person whose conspicuous presence does not occasion any comment or reaction"

Michael S. Judge

When I hit that line, which is like 70% into the Radical Breakthrough, and saw "gesture. . . tounch," I laughed so hard that I leaned back violently, which pulled up the front 2 legs of my chair, then lost balance and flipped over the back of the chair

Last year or so when an exasperated Brace was in a Twitter space with a bunch of dorks like Benny Johnson, I was shocked at how little even these hacks and conspiracy-bros actually knew the facts. Benny was (or pretended to be) ignorant of the fact that Ghislaine was recruiting from Mar a Lago, eg

EaZy E

I just finished it, and I literally cannot with this tranche.

Gulb

The strange thing about the Chomsky "recommendation letter" is that, after reading it, I'm pretty certain there's no way Chomsky wrote it. I mean, I guess the really strange thing is that it's a recommendation letter for a pedophile, but you know what I'm saying.

Michael S. Judge

there is, in essence, a 100% chance that I will eventually read "radical breakthrough" in its entirety for Death/Corner

Antipaganda

I think Trump was alone with Virginia Giuffre for hours for a very different reason that would explain why she said he was a perfect gentleman and never did anything bad to her. What if that was Trump talking to her about what she did for Epstein, and what he did to her? What if that was part of Trump getting enough detail to give to the Palm Beach police so they could arrest Epstein? It seems from the rest of the tranche that Trump may have contributed to him being arrested, or even arranged it. Edit: so that email would be Epstein suspecting that Giuffre told Trump something important in those hours, something to do with evidence that the police chief perhaps had and that Epstein was trying to find out how he obtained.

Bo Tinky

Private browsing Major lube General boobs

Antipaganda

It's also, horribly, possible that when Epstein worked out that Virginia Giuffre betrayed him, he's the one who had her killed. Edit: after noticing a tiny six-year gap between Epstein's death and Giuffre's, I think my theory needs work.

Pelican Grief

I love this. Cozy, old timey radio feel. Juice, tea, scandal. Intrigue. Turns of phrase that confound, disgust, and beget a thousand puns (I sloppily [redacted] his top secret till he blew cover)

Pug_luvr

So the email dump is a limited hangout; they held back the good stuff and released everything that frames epstein as trying to smear trump due to personal grudges, and it embarasses trump's former ally turned enemy, Bannon.

taejo-pom

Graste

That ending revelation 😮‍💨 Putting a cherry on top to an already fantastic episode.

LET ME DELETE MY ACCOUNT YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES

You guys with say I dunno, Chapo, need to do a live show where you read from the trash of this tranche in character. I was thinking make it a musical, but just being on stage, reading excerpts. Call it Epstein the Musical just for attention.

RHZM

Never trust Analytic Philosophy.

Jake

Why would the IBEW be less surprising for trump to work with? All I can say about how is the international org seems to be putting pressure on local unions to change their contract language in order to secure more data center contracts. Corrupted by tech but I didn’t know the trump stuff

Ryan Schultze

Man I don’t wanna just play blind defence for Chomsky but this letter reads nothing like him… It strikes me as very strange. I’ve never read anything from him that comes close to being nearly as effusive as this. Half of it is just stacked adjectives. There are mentions of topics that Chomsky has expressly dismissed as uninteresting: “We have had rewarding discussions on deep learning, AI, robotics, singularity…” This contradicts decades of recorded interviews with the guy? It’s also just painfully generic - the formatting/narrative structure reads like a template. That said, maybe he did write it 🤷‍♂️ Miserably disappointing in that case. But I do think it seems strange enough to warrant some scrutiny

Paul Steiner

Certain locals can be very mobbed up, wouldn't be surprised if it was like a money laundering/corrupt deal "hey well pay you to use our contractors", etc

Shan

And of course, Ghislaine took Carole’s author photo!

“Fuckwad” is so Massachusetts. I love it.

Øystein Monsen

There's so much weird stuff to be had with the crown princess and also Thorbjørn Jagland among others, pretty much across the social spectrum in Norway - Jagland and Mette-Marit are people who've come up in the world. Middelfart and Suzann Pettersen are from wealthy backgrounds. Curiously most of the political connections seem to be to Jagland's losing clique from before he got ousted by Stolenberg, at least from what I've seen. Excited to hear what you guys manage to dredge up!

Classico style episode. Thank you for your service.

Zak K

For me, the most depressing part of the Epstein saga is how idiotic and banal the power brokers in our society are. You can work hard, be pretty smart. and follow the law, and you'll still be a peon to this gaggle of moronic pedophiles.

Swimaroo

The secret to trueanon ranch is fresh tarragon

EB Farnum Fanclub

Man, the whole “I wish Epstein was still alive so we could get his hot takes!” jokes just do not land for me, sorry. The veneer of irony really starts to wear thin when the whole episode feels like gossip about soap opera characters. The reality that this is a cabal of monsters who hurt and sell children is treated as an afterthought to the goss’. It pains me to say that I get the same feeling of seeing all those grinning freaks holding up their “Epstein Files” binders at the white house. “Conspiracy fan” content. It doesn’t help that as soon as the news dropped, there were legions of Patreon commenters baying for more Epstein slop for their commute. I guess I don’t hold it against Liz and Brace that audience capture is a real thing, especially when it’s tied to your livelihood. My two cents: Consider giving it an extra day or two (or longer!) to process the deluge of information here into something with some kind of meaningful point of view, or thesis, or heart. It seems like a better trade-off for your soul than fully giving into the numb content spectacle for a topic like this.

Shan

You know that copier jammed and crunched the paper up so many times.

Evan Scott

I've kind of thought about this but then on the other hand what would explain Trump's relationships with Barr, Acosta, Dersh, etc., or his weird comments and kiddie gloves treatment of Ghislaine, etc.? It is pretty hard for me to imagine trump being the 'white hat pedophile' he's portrayed as by QAnon, Johnson etc. Not to mention Trump's pretty guilty behavior w/r/t trying to keep the files under wraps Unless he was like, blackmailed into informing by the FBI, but then also the case turned into a limited hangout thing? And there would still be a lot of pre-2006 stuff in there that would be extremely incriminating on him?

Evan Scott

she looks wildly different in like every appearance it seems

Evan Scott

i guess it would actually be a somewhat reasonable thing to do but my initial thought was actually that it was an insane boomer thing especially since he surely had an assisstant that could just call someone at apple and get his account unlocked

Anybody else here think that opening message sounds a lot like the Humanian language

Little Monster

YC missed the "Totally Wired" the fall sound clip smh

Edwe1rd

I think you misunderstand the point of truanons Epstein coverage. What you describe is already implied…literally from episode 1. They cover it in a way which allows one to think for themselves while doing a solid job of keeping the timeline in mind.

Evan Scott

audience capture is when you keep the same tone/style as you've had since the literal first episode of the podcast

United Eric Emirates

‘I’m just F&B’ def means ‘food and beverage’. But that’s a direct reference to DiNero’s character in Casino, Ace Rothstein, who for ‘legal purposes’ was only the F&B Director of The Tropicana when in fact he was in charge of the entire criminal skim conspiracy. Good one, Jeff!

Ryan

Ok, so we’re not doing the pitch shift and reverb effects on the word “tranche” anymore? It’s cool, just didn’t know…

EB Farnum Fanclub

Do you remember the first episode? It was Matt Christman as guest. They mixed humor with an analysis of power and parapolitics through a Marxist-Leninist lens. This episode was basically a Youtube react video in podcast form. No throughline. Half the runtime was spent reading the full text of individual emails in a silly voice, and the other half was aimlessly riffing on whether Epstein’s hangers-on were cringe or boomer. Not to mention a ton of Twitter-brained, “I miss Trump’s riffs so bad” ironic fanboying over Epstein and Michael Wolff while reading the emails where they workshop Jeffrey’s sex abuse PR (“such a gossip, I love it”). They spent the bare minimum of time on the disturbing political and cultural fallout from the release of these documents. I think they dedicated maybe 2 half-hearted minutes on Megyn Kelly and other right-wingers’ batshit insane defense of “ephebophilia.” Then, they quickly got back to an hour of reading sex trafficker emails verbatim in goofy voices. But wait! They also took the opportunity to plan out their future live tour, where they’ll… read sex trafficker emails in goofy voices. These mfs used to talk about Adorno. This episode was indistinguishable from stand-up comic truecrime slop, and replies like this are absolutely not refuting the audience capture allegations. Their planned-out interviews and investigative series are still quite solid when it’s a topic they care about. This one and the birthday book episode (“That’s a great outfit for Jeffrey. I have to say, he looks iconic in this photo”) are the first ones that I got a distinct sense that the Epstein case—the central subject matter of the show—has largely become meaningless fodder that they can use to let out their inner theater kid. Sorry if this makes me a woke lib! That level of complete ironic detachment is unsettling to me. I guess I’ll never really be completely desensitized to the reality of this stuff. I’m glad not to be. Hope they turn it around.

F&B is in fact the hospitality industry abbreviation for “Food and Beverages” or Food and Bev.

Listening to some of this, particularly the Bannon stuff, has gone a long way in convincing me that Epstein was actually pretty good at his job (dark sorcery)

Jeff Hendricks

Could the “dog who hasn’t barked” mean they hadn’t yet gotten DT in their honey pot? Seems like Jeff and GMax were trying to set him up, get him recorded in a compromised situation with Virginia, but he didn’t fall for it. That would corroborate with what Virginia always said. Not defending DT here, the man is clearly a monster, just saying he might not have fallen for THIS particular setup with Virginia.

Obama has a unique ability to charm liberals, that’s why brace doesn’t understand it. He’s not a lib.

I know some unions are pretty mob influenced. The teamsters come to mind. But I was married to an IBEW member for a long time and I didn’t get any vibes of that kind of influence. They are, as the other commenter said, sometimes in favor of shitty projects so their members can have jobs. But if there’s any kind of mob influence I couldn’t see it.

1:41:00 Brace accidentally pronounces Trump as Cunk… transported me to the underrated Netflix series “Cunk on Earth” which is like Naked Gun x History channel

Michael S. Judge

Epstein kind of addresses that in the message about Barr protecting Trump – to paraphrase, "Just like I said; I've known him for 50 years." They're all the same fuckin' people in the same places doing the same shit, and they rely on a certain amount of mutual-suicide overlap in all their behavior. Bill Barr would've been "Epstein's guy" to this group until the moment he was "Trump's guy." Donald Trump's "friends" all wanted to kill him too, and he loved knowing that, because it meant he was still "winning." You see that son of a bitch over there? I took a billion dollars off him in a deal for deepwater marina rights in the Gulf of Aden, 1996, and now it's not looking so good for vacations in Yemen! Bye bye, Gulf of Aden! IF Epstein's right, Trump inevitably informed on him for reasons of petty spite, maybe on some real estate bullshit, maybe over The Great Epstein vs. Mar-a-Lago Battle: Who Wants to Be a 16-Year-Old With No Parents?, and Trump talked to the Palm Beach Police instead of anyone who'd know Epstein's position, so Palm Beach PD was psyched as hell to Make the Big Case until someone in the federal government had to tell them "He's an asset and this shit is over." Gary Webb broke the whole Iran-Contra + crack story because he went to the trial of a guy named Danilo Blandón, who was a middleman at most – as I recall, Webb only attended because Blandón's girlfriend found him through the San José Mercury-News and said "They can't put my boyfriend in prison, he works for the government!" – and Blandón was on the stand, openly discussing moving huge amounts of coke for the CIA ... and then somebody in a black suit showed up, handed the judge a folder, talked to him for a minute, and the trial was adjourned permanently for posing a danger to the national security of the United States. "White hat pedophile," of course not, Trump doesn't GIVE a shit about any of this, he was practicing his real life's work: playing fuck-your-buddy on larger and larger stages. When you hit the Presidency, you inherit a whole lot of shit, and whoever shut down Acosta in the 1st trial either told him or absolutely did not NEED to tell him that he'd get rewarded for being quiet – remember, and nobody says this enough, **Acosta did not HAVE TO do that.** He could've said "Fuck this, the guy's a child molester, I don't care who he knows in Langley and DC." Would it have WORKED, eh, probably not, but nobody could MAKE Acosta act like he acted, short of firing or killing him. He did that on his own for the greater good of The Corporation. Trump sees him a decade later, probably hates him, but somebody says "This isn't your call –we've owed him for a long time, and he actually saved YOUR dumb ass a lot of, ahem, tsuris, back in 2007. How did it not occur to you that any real investigation of Epstein would come back on you? You know a secret promise of immunity doesn't mean shit unless it's either made public or involves someone who can be non-suspiciously *left out*, right?," and Trump said, "Alex, Ghislaine, tremendous, Dershowitz, this is my first time meeting them, would you believe, and they're great, they're really very great people."

It is a little more flouncy with the emphasis on the NEE I’m from Milwaukee and in the 90’s we’d say “we’re goin to GURnee Mills” (outlet mall for the uninitiated) In other accent facts, Milwaukee has a suburb called New Berlin but they pronounce it BERlin for some reason 🤷

While I like almost every episode they do, I agree with you on this. It’s hard to get through their Epstein episodes sometimes. It’s interesting to me which subjects they take more seriously than others. Although, I felt their interview with Annie Farmer was appropriate.

Occhio

the full-spectrum insistence that we’re not supposed to acknowledge any difference between a teen and a toddler is a fear response - people are horrified by the obvious fact that they must actively suppress their own attraction to bodies that look like adults but are technically underage. Pretty logical psychoanalytic precept that the frenzied and superegoical disavowal of desire indicates (you guessed it) desire. Unpleasant though it is to contemplate, you will notice a spike in this insistence among parents of teenage children. It’s a brittle artifice that breeds hysteria and moral panic; it does terrible harm to the kids and teens it purports to protect, when in fact it’s very very obviously a self-protective symptom for childish adults.

Met Obama in 2006 when he ran for US Senate and came to my University to meet with grad union leaders. I was struck by his personal charisma, which i’ve not felt to that degree in any other pol I’ve met since. That said, hate Obama’s brand of centrist politics and presidency, which made a right wing charlatan like Trump possible.

F&B is Food and Beverage only in hospitality, as opposed to paying full fare / staying overnight or all inclusive. Or if you want to have a meeting with food and no sleeping rooms - medical conferences etc.
