Hello, everyone. We are here. We are doing Substack Live and we're going to, you want to share your video? Talking about. Do you have a thing to share your screen, Michael? Do you know how to, do you want to give it a try? I'm tweeting it out. Will you?

Hold on a second. Talking about the definitely real mass rape of babies. Mass rape and cannibalism of babies. Talking now about the different. Definitely real mass rape and cannibalism of babies. Okay. It's out. Now, how do I screen share?

You know what? I want to read that article, you said. I didn't get a chance to read this Chomsky thing. How about I read it while and react in real time? Does that sound like fun? Okay. All right. Here.

So Michael wrote it, is this your art? Yeah, this is your article in Compact. Let's see here. So I'm going to say, share screen. Do you see a share screen option for you? I told them. Is that the thing at the, Hmm, where is the option?

It would say share screen at the bottom, next to Mike and video. No, I see Mike and video. That's it. Okay, they are, um, uh, load a share screen. Okay, here. And it's going to give me different options, I think. What the hell just happened? Is the screen share only available to the person who initiated the stream?

I don't know, Michael. We're in the process of figure. And something just weird happened. It, um, oh, uh, okay, share entire screen. Uh, I have different options. Show all windows. All right. I'm going to try this.

No, that's, okay, here's a screen, Michael. Uh, you see this? Okay. Yeah, that I see that. Yep. Okay. So you better cover up whatever is incriminating on your desktop right now. Yes, I'm getting rid of all the porn.

But, okay, good. And the people, I think, can see us in the corner right there. there. Okay, excellent. I'm looking at the live stream of it, and yeah, I think that's right. Yeah. Okay, let's see this. Nolm Chomsky was right about Epstein by Michael Tracy. Good headwind, right? Judging by the delirium that has accompanied the latest release of Epstein files,

modern Americans no longer have any standing to snicker at their seven. Okay, yeah, it was going to probably imagine such outbreaks about blah, blah, blah, here where we are, but in America, it's an America already ever to pledge. Okay, yes, good, good opening paragraph. You know what? I've had like a handful of people today who were very tangentially mentioned somewhere in the Epstein files

who are actually facing professional harm. This is, this is new. I've heard, oh, you've heard from people? Yeah, I've heard from some, not that I knew personally, but who have contacted me. Yeah, I've, yeah. People who are just like, in the email like once, like it's causing like business problems

with their business associates. Someone apparently there's like a LinkedIn thing where like someone made a kind of extension or something of LinkedIn where you can like see if someone's name was in the Epstein files that's nuts. This person told me that they're looking at it and like like job interviews. They're looking to see if people have ever been mentioned in the other. Well, if any of them would like to speak, you know, it could be off the record or whatever, you know, I'm definitely going to eventually do something on people who are just being like ridiculously wrongly impugned because they make some fleeting and innocuous appearance in one of these profiles.

I mean, I'm in them. People were trying to tell me that I'm incriminated because they searched Michael Tracy, of course. That was the first thing they did. And I come up into FBI communications department, like, news, daily news roundups where they just summarize articles, and they summarize two articles of mine

on totally unrelated subjects. What year was this trial? I'm technically in them. So there's, I think there's one from 2018 maybe and then one from 2021, if I'm not mistaken. So the Epstein files go beyond Epstein's death.

They go up to the minute, they go up to the day before they go up to 2025. They go up to November of 2025. Okay, so I could be in. That's why there's stuff having to do with the Trump administration's review. I could be in there. Let me see.

Let me search my name. I want to be an Epstein dude. Some of the best stuff is actually from 2025 gets where, like, you see emails saying, Director Patel requests a review of the Epstein. No, no results found for Hanania. Tracy. Yeah, you've got a bunch.

There's a bunch for you. How come, no, that's, there's a lot of Tracy's there. You'll type in Michael, Tracy, and you'll see, you'll see two, Papa. Michael, Tracy. Yeah, I got two of them. New Jersey journalist writes in the Wall Street Journal of the nation's attention as much. Okay. Okay. Okay. Whatever.

Okay. What crime? I guess I'm technically in them, but like they've got nothing at all to do with Epstein. Yeah. Okay. It could be child sex. I've heard. Yeah. My menstruation is known Chalmsky. Whoever thinks his contribution of linguistics. We are told that his reputation is in tatters and his life work is tainted because he socialized and corresponded with Hepstein. None of these rushing forward, none of those rushing forward, melodramatic denunciations betray the slightest hint of an essential trait that Chomsky himself exhibited,

a willingness to examine the actual facts and follow them to their logical conclusion, notwithstanding that probrium that may be unleashed as a consequence. Okay, yes, Chomsky was corrected his judgment about the Epstein hysteria. So I didn't know Chomsky actually commented on the Epstein hysteria itself.

He did. That was like the final straw for people to rattle off their denunciations because he like sent a few paragraphs of Epstein advising him on how to deal with the torrent of hysterical media coverage that he was. Look at it. So Epstein is bringing together,

imagine if you're like a friend of Israel. Like Epstein is bringing together, Ehud Barak and Noam Chomsky, one of the biggest, well-known academic critics of Israel. The biggest, and the longest term, consistent critic. Like, starting in the,

1960s when hardly anyone criticized Israel, it wasn't even like a big issue so much. Yeah. Wow, that's interesting. So he's informing. Jeffrey Epstein is informing a critic of Israel by bringing him together with somebody from Israel who was in the

government, who was prime minister. And this is like what discourse should be doing. But not only that, facilitating an opportunity for Chomsky to obtain direct firsthand information about his longstanding research

interest because as he says, as I quote, like this particular like set of accords from 2001 when who Barack was the prime minister, Chomsky, and I remember this, had always complained that like not enough of the diplomatic record was available for him to

analyze. And so he was able to speak directly to one of the participants. Yeah. So this guy's a counter punch. Okay. Prasad maintains it even if Chomsky Raybaud That's a co-author. That guy co-authored multiple books with Chomsky. These people are slime, man.

He having to no extent that can, I think you got a typo here, Michael. Prashad maintains that even if Chomsky Raybo to explain himself, which he is not, having been debilitated by a stroke three years ago, no context that can explain this outrage. I think that bat should not do. I will write your editor. And they're supposed to. Damn it. I know, it sucks.

But it's okay. Do I really have to put now, can this compact not do enough copy editing where I have to do like the chat GPT copy edit? You always should be chat GPT because it costs, it takes no time and costs nothing. And they'll catch, they'll often catch stuff like that.

They'll usually catch stuff like that. Oh, that's so annoying. Yeah, editors are not very good at editing, I found out. Like, they'll often, they'll add stuff. I know. Like, I don't want to, I don't want to be, uh,

smirch anyone, but like, yeah, it can be annoying. Okay. No information needed evidently for his own idol, 97 years old and capable of communicating. Is, is, so Chomsky is... Wait, no, that's not a typo. Prashab maintains that even if Chomsky were able to explain himself, which he is not, having debilitated by a stroke three years ago,

no context... That... Oh, okay, not text. That should be no context, can't explain. You should, like, put a bracket there for, like, the missing word, or you should change the sentence. It should be no context can explain this outrage is would be a fine. The left wing journalist Chris Hedges is likewise as Altschomsky.

So what is, by the way, what is Chomsky's, what is Chomsky's, what is his state right now? He's got a stroke. He can't. Do we know anything else besides? Yeah, he had a stroke in 2023. Funnily enough about like a little over a month after he had the stroke. I think it was in June of 2023. He gave a comment on Epstein to the Wall Street Journal.

when they published this long article about a bunch of newly revealed people who were found to have had relationship with Epstein. And he's, you know, I quote it later on, but his current state is, yeah, he's debilitated by a stroke. His second wife attends to him as almost like her full-time job. And based on somebody I spoke to with knowledge, like he's in a state where he can still sort of like understand things

that are said to him at times, he just can't communicate. So it's even more heinous if you were to hear about this. So people, so he has understanding, but he cannot communicate. That's my understanding, yeah.

That seems like an ironic kind of hell, like even without this stuff. It seems like if I could, hold on, by the way, I got someone, I got a doorbell ringing. I've got a, I've got to see.

I'll be back just 30 seconds. Let me see who it is. Man, now I'm bummed out because Richard spotted the error, although I'm glad that he did. I don't know how I overlooked that. That's one of the things that's knowing about copy editing. Sometimes, like, you just don't read with enough precision that an error like that will occur to you. But, yeah, this has already been up for like, I don't know, eight hours for something.

But, you know, if I missed it, hopefully other people just kind of glazed over it as well. I guess I'll see if anybody has any intelligent comments here while Richard goes and checks out of the door. I wonder if Michael is the most shot messenger of all time. What does that mean shot? Like wrecked? Like depleted? Animate the stream. How do I do that?

Okay. What are you saying? What are you talking to Michael? who you talk? Oh, it was just stream of consciousness talking. Who was at the door? Anybody cool? I've lost a remote and they delivered a new one and then I also had my psoriasis medication which I injected

to myself, which I also, which I have to refrigerate as soon as I get. You're what? I don't even want to know, okay. Well, it's a skin condition. I wrote an article about it. I wrote an article about how I missed that one. You heard my skin condition. Okay. The likewise,

the left-week journalist Chris Hedges likewise denounced Chomsky for having taken a ride on Mepsie's private jet because it was nicknamed the Lillita Express, a literary reference, blah, blah, blah. If Hedges ever bothered to the facts, he would discover that, of course, Epstein never himself nicknamed his own any crap there at Lillita Express was a cheeky invention of a British tabloid in 2015, and the origins were some anonymous locals of the... I love this. I love this. Yeah. Really, people honestly think that Epstein and his colleagues, you know, writing around this, private jet, we're like snickering to one another saying, hey, you know, get a load of the Lelita Express or maybe he like painted the Lillita Express on the side of the plane. You know, like a Trump has trump and gold lettering on his plane.

Takes a bottle of champagne, like smashes at the. Yeah. And then, you know, like the Department of Homeland Security and Florida aviation officials would see the Lolaura Express incoming and say, oh, it's Captain Jeffrey and the Lita Express and his paledome. Welcome home. Oh, man. Does Hedges imagine, yeah, Epstein wrote up to the tarmacx, hollering all aboard the only expressed with a geriatric Chopsky by his side. In the age of Epstein mania, there is clearly no incentive put politically, journalistically legally or otherwise to dispel these farcical myths and every incentive to amplify them. You're an unforgivable stint that irreparably tarnishes legistly. My God. This is insane. Unforgivable stain. He makes it even more like vivid. and graphic sounding.

It should have been ethically obliged for any association whatsoever with Epstein. It's kind of the conduct was, Epstein was criminally convicted of committing some years prior. Yeah, he got like, what was the sentence again?

He had like a month in prison or something. No, it was ultimately 13 months. So you believe in these myths too. In the bandit interview, two hours of which came out. I don't know where the other 12 hours are. But finally, some of that long awaited

Bannon interview came out. And he said something that I didn't know, which is that over the course of the term of incarceration, Epstein was actually in solitary confinements. And we're told us a sweetheart deal. Remind me, did he go, did he like go home on weekends or something? He eventually got work release through the same procedure that any inmate would be eligible for work release. Yeah. Okay, so you got a normal 13 month sentence.

He got a 13 month sentence. Yeah, lifetime registration as a sex offender. And then the. had's concocted some novel mechanism whereby he would have to pay civil damages to government-identified victims, waive any ability to contest their claims, and also paid their attorney's fees. Yeah. In terms of the specifics of those charges, the only minor whom Jepstein ever pleaded guilty to victimizing was a single individual, Ashley Davis, who had been 17-year-old years old during the relevant encounters, and told Palm Beach police that she had seen sexual sexual intercourse without. Epstein one time the day before her 18. I love this. This is like the ultimate thought experiment. You know, people think I'm making this part up.

It's like if you were trying to like disprove like the pedophile talk, you would make up this ultimate thought experiment. He's having six with her at 1159 p.m. The day before she turns 18. I wish it was like a week before just so it doesn't sound like I'm making it up. But like this is what she said. Yeah. I mean, how do you like, that's such a coincidence.

Like maybe Epstein like had this fetish. I mean, she had, she had there were, there were, there was sexual contact prior to this, but when it escalated to full intercourse, which was somewhat unusual for him, it happened to be the day before her 18th birthday, so she said. Never forced her to do anything.

It was never violent and coercive, and she voluntarily went to his house on approximately 15 occasions, bringing a friend in at least one instance that she participated in sexualized massage scenarios in exchange for cash gifts, and as she told the Florida grand jury in July 20, 2006, polite conversation.

At the grand jury session, The then 18-year-old appeared far more troubled by her unwanted embroilment in the state's prosecutorial efforts than she ever was by her past interactions with Epstein. In any event, Davis ultimately became a sole minor identified by the assistant state attorney as having been victimized by Epstein when he entered his guilty plea in June 2008. So when they say like the FBI. Butcher, just think of this for a second, okay? Just try to conceptualize the amount of journalistic resources that have been devoted to this. issue and the amount of like podcast, documentaries,

newspaper, articles, books, you know, social media stuff. It's like unimaginably vast quantity of like journalistic or quasi-journalistic material. How am I the only one who ever thought to like read the transcript of the June 2008

plea hearing? Yeah. We could like learn what he actually pleaded guilty to. Like no, everybody apparently overlooked. That is something that might be like relevant and informing our understanding of the story. It's like it never ceases to boggle my mind.

Like, despite how hyper-saturated I am now with all this information, each day I still manage to find something that blows my mind even more. So when they say, when they, I mean, like the media say that there was, like the FBI identified like hundreds of underage girls or thousands or whatever they say. What do they refer to as were their documents? Did like the political police believe there were hundreds? or thousands of all or a lot of

no, no, no. So in this Palm Beach phase, once the FBI interceded and what had previously been a local investigation, ultimately they identified approximately, you know, 32, you know,

victims that they, you know, designated as victims. Okay. But had not been adjudicated as victims, right? Because some of them denied that they were victims. Uh-huh. Many of them said they lied about their ages,

etc., which is why there were going to be evidentiary problems if they ever actually took it to trial, and they worried that Epstein could actually be acquitted. Hence, they determined or a determination was made that the optimal resolution would be to compel Epstein to plea to agree to a non-prosecution agreement. They would compel them to plead guilty to these two states. So they looked at hundreds or thousands of hundreds, whatever women, and... No, not hundreds. There were dozens.

Yeah, a couple dozen, perhaps. couple doesn't in the Florida situation and they couldn't get a conviction like did they believe that they were women had been or like did they believe it or did they believe they thought that there was a risk that they would not be able to obtain a conviction yeah yeah had gone to trial right but they do they like okay if you had like I would take it as I don't know if this is an area if there was like 10 girls independently at like a high school who said Jeffrey Epstein had some kind of relationship I would take that as evidence even if they were not the police didn't did not think they could get a conviction. Was that the kind of scenario? Like, what was the kind of the specific scenario? There was just a lot of impeachable evidence that could have been brought to bear by the defense. So, while I got the age,

because that would go to mens rea, right? So meaning Jeffrey Epstein did not consciously intend to have a sexual interaction with somebody who was not 18, although, you know, obviously the statutes for that stuff tends to not necessarily require mens rea, meaning it's not excuse to be ignorant, But, like, it still would have been brought up.

Some of the girls, like, did not want to prosecute Epstein, denied their victims, wanted other girls prosecuted. So it was like a tangled web of mess. Well, then what they settled on was, like, one of the few victims that I've ever come across, who Ashley Davis, who I actually find to be totally credible in her account of what happened. Like, um, and what is Ms. And Epstein's lawyers did not try to undercut her credibility. Yeah.

Where is she now? She has, she's an exception because she's not, she's vanished since 2006, is. essentially. Like, she hasn't tried to make this essential feature of identity. She hasn't I'm an activist. This woman is a hero. You should track her down to do probably. I wish I could. I wish her name wasn't such a common one because it makes it difficult to find her. But yeah, I mean, I have her date of birth. And I honestly don't think that she's really anything wrong or like, I would never want to look gratuitously into her, you know, sexual history. No, no, I'm saying, I'm in awe of her. Like right now, the incentive is to, yeah, become a, yeah, the incentive is to

Yeah, she, and she comes across, like, pretty intelligent, you know, well put to, well adjusted. Yeah. She says at the grand jury in July of 20, of 2006, that like something to the effect of, I was doing perfectly fine until you guys summoned me to have to get embroiled in this. So, like, clearly she wasn't traumatized by anything. She kind of says that, like, once they had the sexual, once they had the full intercourse, she, like, didn't really want to go back. So I guess she's like, although it was consensual. like at that point, like she was over it. But other than that, like,

there wasn't some major crisis for her. And what was more troubling to her was that she could end up being embarrassed by people finding out about it because of the prosecution. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, but yeah, we don't know.

And so we don't know anything about it. We don't know her job where she lives, anything. As of now, no. Yeah. Wow. Someone should, like, yeah, how do people, You talk about the journalistic resource is not going to, like, this seems like

pretty valuable. She's the only person under 18 he's ever been convicted of or pled guilty to being with. Yep. Yeah. And no wonder, no wonder Epstein was so... And this is just like, in terms of what people think they know about Epstein, like, virtually no one knows this. Yeah. And it's based on the, like, actual

primary source documentation, not like hairbrained speculative theories. Yeah. All right. I'm going to, I'm going to dig into this. This is crazy. And the whole Epstein thing,

like after this happens, after he gets, Richard and Anadio finally decides he should dig into the Epstein. I want to look into this narrow question because after this, after he goes to jail for 13 months, he's never again,

even like, credibly accused of being with an underage of woman. Is that right? No, then he's eventually federally indicted in July of 2019. That's why he's, I know that. I know that.

But is everything that happens to him because of things that happened previously? People assume because he was charged again federally in 2019. There was nothing new. That must have been like he was incorrigible and he kept a underage person. Even after this Florida sentence, that's just not true. Like the latest that it's even alleged in that 2019 indictment that he committed anything sexually violative against a non-adult person is 2005, which is exactly the same period.

Just what the feds do is they concoct a rationale for essentially recharging it, but with a federal nexus, because they said they've identified somebody in New York in addition to Florida, and there's an interstate commerce thing. Yeah, that's what I thought. You know how they try to establish that?

It's just like interstate commerce so they could do a federal trafficking conspiracy? I know. Somebody flew from somewhere to something. No, no, no, no. Well, there are a couple of elements, but one of the elements that they ended up hinging it on was that the massage table that was used

was originally manufactured in California and used in Florida. That's sufficient to establish an instrument of interstate commerce, given how Alaska. You should look into commerce clause jurisdiction, the entire history of it. It was like a guy was growing, when they first banned drugs federally,

someone was growing marijuana, like in their yard or something, and they're like, well, this is not interstate commerce. What right does the federal government have to arrest me for growing marijuana? The case was called Wicker. And it was just basically like, well, it's interstate commerce because, like, marijuana, there's like a substitute for like alcohol. And that is interstate commerce.

Therefore, growing marijuana in your backyard is interstate commerce. The government can arrest you for it. They even tried, like, finally this draft indictment that was composed in 2007 by the feds. They didn't actually bring a federal indictment at that stage. but they drafted one, in part to use this leverage and partly test some of the legal theories that they might use if they were to federally charge them.

And that was known to have existed, but we didn't have the full document until January 30th. Okay, so it's finally out. And part of the argument is that because Epstein's younger female adult employees and assistants sometimes use the phone to call locally, to make local calls to girls in the Palm Beach area to set up appointments,

just the use of the phone was sufficient to establish an interstate commerce nexus, even though it was like literally in, within the same state. I hate the cover. I hate what they've done to the commerce clause. This is a pet peeve of mind.

And actually now, if you use the internet at all, based on statues that were enacted, like in the early 2000s around the, to catch a predator craze, like any use of the internet at all in any aspect of anything, is sufficient to establish it.

Yeah. It's given, yeah, I mean, the ditty thing is also the same, it's the same thing. All these things, like, why is there a federal murder statute? Because like in 2008, nobody would have, it would have never, it would have virtually never even occurred to anyone, whether in law enforcement or in, you know, elected office, that what were fundamentally understood to be prostitution offenses, even if it was an underage, quote unquote, prostitute, that that would rise to the level of something in the federal jurisdiction. It would be like a quintessential state level offense.

Yeah, this goes, this goes back to like 9-11 Department of Homeland Security. The trafficking thing is interesting because anyways, let's finish reading this Michael Tracy article. The newest, like, he was ignorant of the facts. There was any sort of, yeah, sex trafficking blackmail. None of this were wrongly for unforeseeable. Okay. Back when he was still operating full cognitive capacity. were known for, renowned for his command of the facts, whatever might be the topic at hand.

Check the record he would frequently tell interlocutors before proceeding to demonstrate his mastery of the relevant record. That's objectively true if you've ever seen Jomsky, you know. You remind me of Stephen Miller. This is a master class. Do you remember? But he would talk about Trump, like Trump would do something. Oh, yeah.

And he'd be like, that was a master class. He'd be on TV. Yeah. Perhaps not as versive, verisily. I can't. Voraciously, of course. As you want to, might have, I'm like Candaceau. As he once might have studied the B.

and not more, but enough to engage, blah, blah, blah, the pertinent details, indeed, the doubt notoriously changed. That's the spark to be thinking about all day. In fact, long before, he had far more knowledge as to the underlying facts and evidence and anyone down demanding his retroactive banishment. Any firm mind, blah, blah, blah. So Chomsky actually pointed, he uses the phrase,

hysterical accusations. Yeah. Which people thought was outrageous. This is amazing. I had no idea about this. They're like, F'stie. Yeah, yeah, we talked about this, but I'll read it.

The conflict, okay, so, so Epstein helped Chomsky with a log-running of financial dispute with his three adult children. The conflict appeared to stem from Chomsy's marriage to a second wife, Valeria, after his first wife, Carol died in 2008.

The adult children were attempting, to restrict Chomsky's ability to access his personal trust, apparently due to misgivings about Valeria's influence. I've worked hard for 70 years, put away a substantial sum of money. I surely have the right to access it. All of this is a painful cloud that I never would have imagined would darken my late years. So, let's hear's a question.

There must have been some legal basis for them thinking or for there being some trouble, right? Because you can't just say anyone is senile. Like, there has to be some kind of deposition or some kind of, kind of statement. There must be some evidence somewhere that maybe... No, because at that point, like, so he technically was not the trustee. Okay.

Because it was, the trust was created in his wife's name because the idea, the expectation was that he would pre-decease her. And then once, um, and then so one of the children was then like appointed the executor of the trust or something like that. So there came a time where he asked, he had to make some kind of like, tax payment. And so he requested a disbursement of money from the trust and they like projected it or something. So it didn't, so this, it was, it's not like a formal legal dispute at this point. It's just like something. It's still private. Yeah. And, you know, it's very,

but it's still very tedious in order to get it to a resolution. So eventually Epstein managed to broker a solution to the tedious affair using a slightly inscrutable mix of accounting and legal benefits. Valeria was a fuse of it at her face. Absolutely no one would have done anything. Like you, we know that there is not enough to. compensate for all you have been doing for us. Wow. But we would like if you would retain whatever percentage you think appropriate for all the time you've been putting in this particular case, Epstein declined

to any compensation. God, what a, what a fucking saint. God, this man is just amazing. Yeah. You know, I didn't get into all the details here, but like, Epstein's personal attorneys essentially, like the guys who are like the attorneys that represent the estate right now,

they ended up basically representing Chomsky, like having Chomsky, like having Chomsky as a client because like it did sort of escalate as time went on to where there was like a probate case that was filed in Massachusetts. So they were like so I mean the entire like operation just jumped in to

help Chomsky. Yeah. Wait, well, let's say that again. So the lawyers of the estate, the lawyers of who Jopstein's personal lawyers, like he employed personal lawyers. Uh huh. And as of today, they still represent the estate. Right. And

those guys ended up at this during this conflict representing Chomsky, so took on Chopsk as a client. Okay. The grateful message should be seen as a partial context for the PR advice.

The backdrop to exchange with the Department of Justice announcement of an investigation to resolve this floor of prosecution received to react by blah, and Rueh's ruley cause that came down, finding the prosecutors

had violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act by giving upstate a federal non-prosecution degree without sufficient advance of the government. Yeah, this is the Miami Herald story comes out. Recommend that Epstein refrain from giving any full-throated response to the swirling outrage.

This would only provide a public opening for an onslaught of venomous attacks, including from publicity seekers and cranks of all sorts. That was good advice. The oncoming deluge would furthermore be impossible to answer in any rational matter, yeah, true, given the predominant public mood at the time, and particularly given the hysteria that has developed

about the abuse of women, which has reached the point that even questioning as charged is crime worse than murder. Wow, Chomsky was a kind of a, is like Ben Shapiro. Heterodox. Matt Walsh or something. That's how Matt Walsh talks,

like saying the end word is worse than murder in our society. I mean, he was always a civil libertarian. Like, it's nothing new. Like, he famously defended, quote, Holocaust deniers in like the 70s. Yeah. In terms of, from just like a free speech standpoint. So, like, it's consistent.

Obviously, it would have been coded in a certain way. at this time, but it's not even that unexpected. Yeah, all these poise has been resoundingly vindicated. Yeah, blah, blah, we're shallow with platitudes. This is we're going to Julie K. Brown, confected by the prophet-seeking plaintiffs attorney. Do you like that I finally got in, like, an actual whole publication accusing Julie Brown of extreme media malpractice rather than this supposedly landmark journalistic

triumph that we're all supposed to still be swooning over. What are you talking about? Because you got a real... No, I wrote in the paragraph of the top. The Miami Herald series that is supposed to be this, like, landmark triumph of investigative journalism. I'm saying it was actually a case of extreme media malpractice. Yeah, you've said that before.

No, I'm saying like that, but now it's like in a publication. The Wikipedia thing, there's like a funny thing where like there's people who work on my Wikipedia page. And like, they can't say anything about me unless, like, it's a... a serious publication. So, like, if I say, like, I'm Richard Henned yet, I'm not racist, like, that doesn't matter. But if, like, the New York Times says he's a guy...

What's like an AA meeting for racist or something? If I can't... It doesn't mean anything. If the New York Times says he denounces racism, which has happened like a bunch of times, then that's fine. Wikipedia will accept it. So it's like, this stuff matters. I don't know if they use, even use compact as a source, though, to be honest, because they

have a, you know, they have a very, like, a big... Yeah, stringent, you know, vetting. process where it's like some stuff is disinformation and whatever yeah uh for one thing the entire series was profit seeking gather bradley edwards the lead victim lawyer become obscenely rich through his unredempting cycles of abscenor-related litigation bragged in his own book that he says to the brown into doing his PR bidding chavsky should be commended for seeing through the sham yeah virginia gufrey uh you know a living breathing malmström of inflammatory sex crime accusations good good line.

We're never corroborated, blah, blah, blah. We know that, yeah. Dershoitschua's shop. He had bizarrely unitis, collateral damage. I feel bad for Dershowitz. He seems very neurotic. Dershowitz, who all was

a bit. He blew up. He went on newsmax to talk about this stuff. And he kind of like blew up at the lake. Yeah. Okay, I got to see this. Jesus Christ, it's so stupid.

Without a head of the sort of broad promoted, to tell Jeffrey's Tale, blah, blah, blah, the director of sex with likes of virtuous and Prince Andrew, she had been led to politicians and academics and royalty. Yeah, so Stephen Gouffer with your assault case claims against Stephen Custlin, Harvard Professor of Psychology, and Jean-Luc Brunel, the French modeling magnate, were attracted,

called to endorse various hoaxes and QAnon fantasies. Good God. Followed, appears that, oh, she had a fake bus crash. I didn't know this. Did you write about this? Yeah, that's my heart.

We talked about that one. So she had a fake bus crash. Yeah, I got the records from the Australian. I got the records from Australia. She actually died. You were like, you thought maybe she did actually die for him. I said it was uncertain, right?

So I'm now willing to concede that she's dead because there's been developments in like the Australian probate corp. If you scroll down, like I had the, I got the photos of the, of the, of the supposed I missed this. Hanous bus crash where she said, like, it was so... What did she do to her face? What happened then?

And who knows? But she said that these were the injuries she sustained from this massive bus crash, and, like, there were photos of the supposed damage on the bus, and it was like nothing. I mean, but could it have a bus, this can take a lot of damage. Can you just hit your, can you be, I don't know, I don't know. Well, I don't know. The bus driver didn't even see her in the car. She only saw another woman.

She should have said Epstein flew down, and the ghost. of us started peering her up. It would have been, she would have got people to believe that. Okay. Yeah, Goufrey, Goofrey's signature allegation to be let out the high profile ban

from perverse sexual violence need to have no corroboration. Her claims on Epstein is listed. This is internal memoranda. Bombing federal prosecutors in 2019 when they're trying to find evidence on Maxwell, they interview her. And you could tell they're almost stunned at how non-credible she is. And then they memorialize this in the memo, which they never thought would come out.

Here's another, yeah, here's another counterpunch guy. Yeah, the shame of the, these left, this is such a weird thing because, like, you have these leftist lunatics and you have these right-ed, right-oid chuds who call everyone a pedophile. And you have, like, mainstream journals, and they're all united. Yeah. Like, this is, like, no other issue that I could think of, or they're all part. partaking in the moral pedd? I know, I've been saying that for ages now. Like, this is singular in, like, the confluence of ideological dispositions that land on the same endpoint.

Yeah. So you have, you know, like the right when people who are otherwise always obsessed with pedo trafficking anyway, but then, like, Jeffrey Sinclair would probably come more from the standpoint of power imbalances and so forth and, you know, structural. inequities that afflict women and all those. Let's, yeah, finish. Which only goes to show that Shomsky was, once again, proven to be uniquely incisive, cutting through the hysterical noise with an unfilene, clear-sightedness that few others possessed.

Shortly before his 2023 stroke, he was the only public figure of any major nor variety who badgered by Mediapolis who he told for his relationship with Epstein, emphatically denied. Okay, good, declined. Good. Good for him. Read the rest of this, so because I quote him.

Instead of groveling or concocting a mealy-mouthed PR apology, he responded with the kind of abrasive dismissal that such sleazy inquisitions so richly Inquist, such sleazy inquisition so richly deserved. What was known about Jeffrey Epstein was that he had been convicted of a crime and had served a sentence,

Chomsky told a prior reporter. According to U.S. law norms, that yields a Cleese, good for you. Good for you, sir. Proud of you. I've already gotten emails from people because, you know, Trumpsy has like a worldwide followership for decades, right?

And so I've gotten like a call. couple of emails like saying, thank God, somebody said it or like somebody just did like a straightforward apology rather than like even, you know, there are something, some people have said like, look, maybe let's not go overboard. Let's not declare that his entire life's work is now irreparably tarnished. But it was a definitely a bad lapse in judgment that he would have done, you know, X, Y, and Z vis-a-V Epstein. So they're kind of like undercutting their own premise. because like what did you do wrong exactly? Like why should we be troubled of it by it at all?

And so it doesn't work. Wow. Do you see this graphic on compact? That's pretty cool. I've never seen that on a website. It's like LSD. It's like becoming compact and then it's... Oh, I get it.

It's like a double entendre. Let's see. Get married young. It's the last thing I would ever want to read right now. Yeah, you're the headline and that under it's like, don't be like Michael. get married get married

yeah sorry sorry you see how much don't bring me into this yeah you see how much freedom of you have jealous of you anyways Brad Wilcox man

that's the guy works for some organization like I forget yeah it's a good for family studies so like everything I've ever seen

him ever write is like here's why you should get married down it's like enough already yeah no that's I hate these articles just like a hortatory

headline saying here's what you must do or like how do you know I mean he's a Well, that's his thing. He's a scholar. I know, it's his thing.

Huh? I know it's his thing. I'm saying it's a stupid thing. How do you have a universalizable like dictum would apply to every human? That might read this. Anyways, Michael, I wish I had more. I wish I had more time. I wanted to show you.

I wanted to show you the screech it, which is pretty cool. Yeah. We could like go. But I want to figure out if there's a way where we can both do the screen share at the same time. Well, a screen share at the same time would be You should have a screen share feature I told them hook Michael up They said they're going to give me a friend

I know what I'm saying Can we do it simultaneously on the same stream Or does the person who initiates a stream You know what? Let me stop screen sharing And then maybe it'll allow you to No, I don't because I don't see an option Or a button for it

Okay, I stopped sharing screen Send me a picture again of your Of your what you got Let's see What does the screen look at? Music, oh, I see Okay, I can complain to them. I can tell them that Michael.

I have a feeling that the screen share is only available to whoever initiates the stream. So I'm like a guess. You have a feeling, but that's not necessarily. That's not necessarily have to be true. Okay, yeah, it doesn't look like there's an option. It would be, you see where Mike and video are. You should might want to experiment later when you're done and see if you at least have it for yourself. If you were doing a screen, yourself, you don't have to actually go live.

You can just, like, you know, get ready to go live. and then see if it's, see if it's an option for you. Okay, I'll take a way. All right, Michael. I'm just going to pose this on Twitter probably. Is it not going to automatically get put on substack? Oh, whatever.

I mean, no paywall? Yeah, yeah. I'm just going to put it on Twitter. I'm not going to send it out on substack. Okay, whatever. I don't care. All right, buddy. We'll see you later.

Bye.
