Speaking solely for myself, I have accepted that I am as susceptible to marketing and propaganda as any other human, in an age where we are surrounded by it, none of it honest, none of it in my own best interest.

My response to this has been to cut off all possible routes of advertising: I literally do not watch or read anything that has ads, except possibly passing billboards and in-store ads. I don't play games that have ads. I don't listen to radio. I have adblocker on everything, or I simply leave. I can't stand ads, and I have cut them out of everything I can. I'd genuinely rather quit a service than submit to ads. (And yes, I do love just plain silence, whenever I can get it.)

So yeah, I'm immune: they can't influence me if they can't get access. That's the best kind of immunity there is.

I went to jmail.world to see the emails between Epstein and William Riley and maybe see some context, and I did. I also corrected their spelling along the way, but linked the original documents for each.

The date on this particular email is April 18, 2011, but first I wanted to see who William Riley was. At a certain point he is giving Epstein his vehicle registration and listing his work email as "whr[@]rileykiraly[.]com" which points to a fairly small St. Petersburg, FL private investigation firm.

That he was doing PI for Epstein is clear in the back and forth, but the actual reason appears in the email Epstein sent Riley on April 2, 2011 where after failing to get whatever documentation they were looking for by other means, Epstein tells Riley, "I need to prove that she did not work at Mar-a-Lago until she was seventeen," and Riley replies with the suggestion, "I say we try Mar-a-Lago straight up and see what they say."

Then on April 3 there is another exchange where they're debating about how "personnel" at Mar-a-Lago should be approached, and after Epstein names a guy he used to know there but "Donald fired him" they mutually agree that a personal visit is best.

On April 7, Epstein wants an update, asking Riley if he's had any luck with "Roberts" (Virginia Giuffre's maiden name and the one by which Epstein knew her) and referencing Mar-a-Lago; Riley replies that he thinks they have someone checking the files there.

On April 13, there's another email from Riley to Epstein saying "they don't keep records going back that far" but he's "trying another avenue."

And then there's the email from April 18, the one featured in the Rawstory article OP posted. The context is clear.

Epstein and Riley, working together to prove Virginia Giuffre was at least seventeen when she was recruited from Mar-a-Lago, don't want to ask Donald Trump for records pertaining to Virginia Giuffre unless there is no possible alternative to calling him, because they have now exhausted all the other methods of proving this that they've tried. This is them checking with each other to see if either of them have any further bright ideas before picking up the phone and calling Trump, which they apparently do not because the emails end here.

And that's it. The next emails between them are from the same summer, where William Riley is trying to get paid for all this.

Meanwhile, 2011 is when the Prince Andrew thing started to blow up on him, and he lost his gig as UK trade envoy in part because of his relationship with Epstein. Virginia Giuffre had already sued Epstein, but in 2010, the year prior, also decided to go public with her allegations about Andrew, and of course the photo came out around then as well.

Between the dates of the media articles and the picture with Andrew coming out, these emails, and the status of her lawsuits, it seems pretty clear that all of this effort is for Andrew: by getting proof Giuffre was seventeen when he recruited her from Mar-a-Lago, Epstein hoped to put Andrew in the clear in terms of her age.

You: I’ve pulled the ideas out my bum honestly.

Me, reading: This is intuitive genius. Seriously.

You've said your strategy essentially comes from listening/observing closely and winging it, but honestly what you're achieving just through keeping at it every way you can is amazing. Apart from not being more condensed (smaller, tighter) that handwriting is actually more legible than I've seen from more than a few adults, including the slight nod to the presence of lines. I am not exaggerating.

Your creativity and temerity are both inspiring. Your son is lucky to have you.

Kadu is not American. He just wrote:

I never been to the US, luckily

But here he openly mischaracterizes your desire to see the video evidence released as equivalent to wanting to see it released UNREDACTED, swirls it around with other non sequiturs and imagined bullshit, then tops it with how Americans

should be in the streets with a gun in hand <-- that's the payload

and of course the evergreen

wake the fuck up

They never change, lol.

Dad joke or name of a great album. That the the dad joke came first is pretty much beyond dispute, lol.

Excellent, thank you. I've added them to mine, let's see what @kingofras does with it. I have written so many step-by-steps in my life that I just cranked it out upon seeing the request. I didn't actually put a ton of effort into it or I'd have at least looked up a better list of extensions; you went a step further than that and got a confirmed list specifically for these files. Thank you for taking the time to do it right!

It's actually six million files in total.

From Rep. Raskin's opening statement at Thursday's hearing, directed toward Pam Bondi:

You’re running a massive Epstein cover-up right out of the Justice Department. You’ve been ordered by a subpoena and by Congress to turn over six million documents, photographs and videos in the Epstein files but you’ve turned over only three million. You say you’re not turning over the other 3 million because they’re somehow duplicative. But we know that there are actual memos of victim statements in there. And you also took down the Department of Justice’s prosecution memo from 2019. So it’s clearly not all duplicative. But even if it were, why not release it, just release all the duplicative stuff.

In the half you did produce, you redacted the names of abusers, enablers, accomplices and co-conspirators, apparently to spare them embarrassment and disgrace, which is the exact opposite of what the law ordered you to do.

Even worse, you shockingly failed to redact many of the victims’ names, which is what you were ordered to do by Congress. Some of the victims had come forward publicly, but many had not. Many had kept their torment private, even from family and friends. But you published their names, their identities, their images on thousands of pages for the world to see. So you ignored the law.

And even with over 100,000 employees at your disposal, you acted with some mixture of staggering incompetence, cold indifference, and jaded cruelty towards more than 1,000 victims raped, abused and trafficked. This performance screams cover-up.

EDITED TO ADD: The source of Rep. Raskin's assertion of six million files is apparently Todd Blanche's letter of January 30th on behalf of DoJ saying that no more files would be released (page 1, third paragraph).

I'm not sure I'd accuse her of being human at this point

1. Access the Epstein Library of files at https://www.justice.gov/epstein and complete the age verification if asked.

2. Navigate down to the search bar. Enter the term no images produced and click search. This will produce thousands of results, spread across data sets, that all end in .pdf as the file extension.

3. Select a file, and open it in your browser. You will see a page that is blank except for the message No Images Produced. This is expected.

4. Navigate up to the address bar and backspace over the .pdf in the file address, erasing it. Now add ".mp4" in its place. You should now have a full address ending in a filename that looks like EFTA12345678.mp4.

5. Press enter to retry the address with the .mp4 video extension, and see what you get. You should now see a video of some kind.

6. If you do not see a video, and you know that your browser handles video files, try a different video extension, such as .m4v, .avi, etc.

The following extensions have been found for "No Images Produced" files labeled as .pdf in the Epstein Library: mp4, mov, mkv, avi, webm, wmv, mpg, mpeg, avchd, flv, f4v, swf, m4v, ogv, vid, qt, 3gp, amr, csv, m4a, mp3, opus, pluginpayloadattachment, ts, vob, wav, xls, xlsx

Note: You can also download the .pdf file to your local machine and do the name substitution locally, it works the same way.

The interesting thing to me about this particular file is how precious little detail it has, from someone doing intake at the FBI National Threat Operation Center.

Looking carefully, all the redactions are either in the first paragraph and directly related to the identity of the caller or later the specific names of individuals, going by context.

But there is no instance where a place name could be inferred by context. That's weird.

First, the top of the report lists the specific charge to which this report is attached: 50D-NY-3027571. This is one of the child sex trafficking charges brought by the feds in 2019 in New York. (EFTA01660622, see first page) What that means is that when this call was taken, even though Epstein was already dead, there were still open and active investigations going on, and the FBI intake person attached this tip to one of them. It wasn't just random information.

Also, in this report, the golf course is always referred to in the singular: THE course, THE hole, buried THERE. It's not a selection of properties the caller is naming, just one.

Yet in 2021 -- the date of this tip -- the orange chancre already had multiple golf courses in the US, plus around the world, but in this report there is nothing beyond "Donald Trump Golf Course" in terms of location. All his US golf courses have informal names, usually the town or city: Bedminster, Palm Beach, etc. but these are very pointedly not used.

In every other respect the caller was quite specific, even giving the number of bodies and naming the 19th hole on the golf course, but somehow the FBI couldn't record which one it was. All of that detail -- gone. No place name for the parties, no place name for the golf course where three bodies are buried, no place names for any of it.

How do you get that level of detail but totally miss the place name of the golf course, in 2021, for an investigation that involves what had already become a matter of international interest?

I know I just wrote a wall of text, but these are the little details that stick out to me, and I have found that when something like that does, even though it's minor, it points to something larger.

In this case, I genuinely believe from the cleanness of the text and the oddness of some of the language used that this isn't the original report: that some low level supervisor saw what came in, consulted with higher-ups, then quietly rewrote this and filed the rewrite. Go back and read it. See if it doesn't hit you the same way.

This is amazing. Thank you.
