I have read that a hallmark trait of the narcissist is that a public unmasking of their wrongdoing is about the worst thing that can happen to them. IOW they really aren’t sorry about the s#it they pulled, but they are really sorry when they get exposed for it.

(Ever worked in the upper echelons of academia? This is common, a whole lotta nasty little school yard bullies, very bright but maturity? Not so much.)

RoseMartyn—

Spot-on. Nothing stings a narcissist like sunlight on the mask.

Case in point: my ex Kathleen spent years cosplaying the perfect “devout Catholic, red-hat, MTG-stanning, family-values conservative woman,” virtue-signaling so hard she could’ve medaled in Paris. Behind the rosary selfies and MAGA memes she was pure Ted Bundy meets BTK, orgasming on domination, control, and slow-motion cruelty. She targeted conservative men because the contrast made the sadism sweeter. Lied every single day for months that she loved me, then weaponized my cancer diagnosis as the final discard torpedo—just to watch the maximum damage bloom.

Her own words, once upon a time:

“I consider it necessary to shame and marginalize societal depravity.”

Well, Kathleen, message received. The best supply I can give you is to take you at your word and do exactly that.

Public unmasking just getting started.

Enjoy the rest of the spotlight. 😘

Mr. Hyde can’t operate without the cover of Dr Jekyll can he?

RoseMartyn Exactly… Hyde only gets to walk free as long as everyone keeps calling him “Dr. Jekyll.” Thank you for seeing it so clearly, and for the kindness in saying “it’s hard to take.” It really is. Your empathy means a lot. 🙏

Read about Epstein thinking he was Adonis...and the epitome of creation...and he had a ranch, where he intended to breed children like himself. He was a total narcissist. It is really strange, but there are weird people who are attracted to and support aberrant personalities like this.

It would be great if the Epstein disclosures would bring down a bunch of the high & mighty. However, given the intel & foreign involvement, it is unlikely that the full story will ever come out. I’m sure that DJT has been reminded of JFK’s demise after he suggested disarmament & and an end to the Cold War.

Steve Bannon is dreaming if he thinks Trump could win another election. A Nobel Peace Prize? I don’t think so…

Trump is destroying his MAGA base, and his blind support of Israel fuels that genocide that we can all see. Americans by in large don’t like watching a genocide go down, much less pay for it with their tax dollars. Good luck, Donald, I voted for you, but you betrayed me. God bless you and your family ( but hands off Gaza Jared) and may God keep you from murder and mayhem, but for His sake, let the truth be told.

I've wondered a lot about that woman and others like Bondi.

Is it true both of those women were lobbyists for Swamp, Inc. before working for Trump 2.0? I'm sick and tired of business as usual in the Uniparty.

This hasn't become extremely clear to me yet. Did you listen to the Brett Weinstein piece?

Madeleine Love's avatar

Did you watch the two vids - Greenwald and Weinstein? Very different info.

There's far more going on - the relationships and easy exchange, and may not include girls - whatever is wanted is a-morally provided without judgement, fostering trust for ongoing relationship and call. Sometimes money is given - to researchers. Noam Chomsky's trade seems to have been in access to people for information, and money management of some kind. They could go to Jeffrey if they wanted something. That's how I'm seeing it rn.

Bingo, John.

I think we're closer to an answer as to why so little has been released in terms of concrete details and incidences. Larry Summers' reaction reveals all.

I studied acting for a few years which was fascinating. Loved the craft--hated the business. Quid pro quo. One aspect is called "script analysis." Many people might think the actor simply picks up the script, personalizes the content, and gives a performance. The better ones see more deeply. The script is the barebones of the story.

Depth of character is built by understanding and feeling the motivation and myriad aspects of the character. As an acting teacher said once, playing Hitler (or any killer) as simply deranged and evil is boring. Even Hitler had good points and soft spots. They fed into the evil...otherwise...we learn nothing if viewing someone's performance. Playing Hitler as evil would be called "a one-note performance."

Same with this Epstein saga. I listened to part of Greenwald. Epstein provided insider information; esteemed connections often thought outside a individual's purview; provided valuable financial services for some; and connected on a personal level. We need to remind ourselves that sociopaths are notoriously adept at the chameleon change. They become who you want.

For Jeffrey? I suspect they were simply sources to be nurtured and used. Even those like Chomsky who had years-long associations with him.

Can anyone imagine how Larry Summers' acquaintances and social connections will now look at him? Can he ever be sure that, despite profusive courtesy toward him, they won't think him now beneath them? And be discounted? The worst outcome of all--to be discounted when your life has hinged on people seeking your favor and giving respect.

The Empire has fallen. The Simulation has ended. The Game is over. They are unable to Flip the Game and start over.

The New Restoration in Reality (not a Simulation) comes from the Homo Sapiens working together as per their original design to cooperate, collaborate and in community from the ground up. Think Jean Baptiste Lamarck, think Bruce Lipton and his work with Epi-Genetics!

We evolve via the Terroir/Environment , which includes more than the water we drink, the food we eat and the air we breath (which we are in the process of repairing) it includes the Thoughts we Think, Our Hopes, Wishes, Desires, and Our Beliefs. We need to think bigger than we have ever thought before. Time for Creativity & Imagination grounded now in Reality to come online for the Restoration of the Planet! Great time to be alive!

Larry Summers is reported to have been one of the absconders of the technology owned by Leader Technology, owned by one Michael McKibben, that was to become, voila!, Facebook. Stolen by Harvard personnel, this technology was very cleverly removed from the premises with Zuckerberg being the recipient in a mighty shady deal. Was this a CIA inside deal? How about Amazon? Embarrassment is just a diaphanous label as far as Summers is concerned, where there's smoke, bet on the fire.

Or… Glenn simply cannot come to terms that his intellectual academic politically connected friend, Noem was actually just another tool.

I suspect Glenn prides himself on his ability to read people, as he should be… that’s his job. In this case I equate his Noem blind spot to the millions still unable to accept the fact that they were duped into injecting poison into themselves and/or their children. That is a mind-efffing endeavor.

Is it possible Noem and Larry were just unwittingly duped into being Epstein buds?? … absolutely but the odds are against them not knowing and/or participating in the whole debacle.

Once Epstein was originally found guilty years ago, Smart people would have cut ties and distanced themselves way back then, if for no other reason than self preservation. Therefore assumptions will be made that they were in too deep.

I suppose that Glenn simply can’t understand how his friend could possibly have been compromised and caught because he knew him to be what??? So smart? So upstanding? Tough to watch those you think you know have such feet made of clay.

Regardless of the “depth” of involvement of either Larry or Noem or others… it is unlikely that they were unaware of the original Epstein conviction and the crime he was convicted of and I have to believe either they were very involved or the lacked the moral fiber to walk away from the pimp of little girls. Must be one big fat pill for Glenn to swallow.

I am not compassionate to supposedly intelligent grown men who might be “embarrassed” by their connection to the man who trafficked young girls. It’s not like the signs weren’t all there and they had plenty of time to get out and speak for these girls. Give me a break… they’re embarrassed to be caught. 😠

Intellect and erudition are nice but superfluous. What is essential is moral backbone. Without it, everything you do, say or believe is suspect. I would abandon Chomsky and his influence immediately.

Looks like you're right, John. Just checked news before getting ready to turn off computer and found stories on Summers. He's getting MEGA reprisals for emails to Epstein discussing how he'd like to sleep with a woman he was mentoring. Daughter of a Chinese official. Unbelievable. They're frying him. Looks like an appointment for a position might be withdrawn. A speech has been canceled for next week to an economic group. Liz Warren is spitting fire.

What's just as troubling, is that anyone even mentions what Warren is doing or saying about one of her sleazy compadres. Either memories are short, or Warren's duplicitous past behavior (the stuff we know about, at least) has been forgiven. Everyone's a liar, right, Fauxcahontas? If I ruled the world, you'd still be sitting in a corner with duct tape over your lying mouth.

The long, rambling, and occasionally brilliant monologue by Eric Weinstein in the video posted above reveals a talent for superfluous complexity that academics, particularly the Edge set, revel in. It doesn't take a decision tree algorithm to conclude Epstein was murdered. By whom is less obvious, but Weinstein has the guts to finger a state-sponsored spy agency, reasoning that a private individual would lack the resources or access to buy off the jailers, the medical examiner, and all the lower-level officials whose silence or complicity were essential. On one other point, Weinstein is perfectly clear: Geniuses like himself, heterodox thinkers, absolutely merit the kind of lavish financial support bestowed on them by Epstein. If Epstein hadn't taken it upon himself to dispense his ill-gained largesse to the Edge set, then some other entity (China?) would have done it, and America, you see, would be so much worse off, according to Weinstein. This is yet another version of the self-congratulatory 'best and brightest' belief in their own pre-eminence in comparison with lesser mortals. Does anyone other than these devotees of superfluous complexity believe that?
