Great insights into the whys and wherefores of the #EpsteinElite, with valuable input from #RoKhanna and the brilliant #AnandGiridharadas. His network spanned right and left, learned and crass.

Wow, yes, this is very very good. Thank you for the link. Truly insightful, on many levels.

The network of the elite and how they assess, use and pay each other. The depth of corruption is frightening, and it is good to be given concepts to describe it.

This text would be a worthy addition to a working bookshelf as a slim paperback, sitting next to weightier volumes by Marcel Mauss or Claude Levy-Strauss.

“If you were an alien landing on Earth and the first thing you saw was the Epstein emails, you could gauge status by spelling, grammar, punctuation.
