Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

As a Christian conservative these files need to be released unredacted minus the victims names..with that said as horrible as Epstein crimes are there just tip of the iceberg of his true degeneracy...his belief in eugenics and transhumanism and his ranch were to" seed the human race with his DNA"..Geographic Proximity: Some reporting noted that Epstein's New Mexico ranch was located in the general vicinity of various military and intelligence research centers, including DARPA and IARPA, which some found suspicious. This is not a direct tie or evidence of collaboration.MIT Connections: Epstein funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars in disguised donations to MIT's Media Lab, where he associated with prominent AI researchers and scientists. The MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) has received millions in DARPA funding for various projects, leading to speculation that Epstein positioned himself close to individuals involved in DoD-funded projects, but no direct link has been proven..hence his number involvement with musk another piece of feces that needs to be in jail...it's all about mixing man and machine...
lol you believe MIT exists
Not to mention his ties with Harvard While not specifically named as "CRISPR" in reports, Epstein provided funding for general "DNA research" and a program at Harvard called the "Program for Evolutionary Dynamics". MIT Media Lab Director Joi Ito resigned after the extent of his lab's and his personal investment funds' connections to Epstein were revealed. Lemmy guess Harvard don't exist either..lol sheep go baa baa baa
They actually changed it slightly because the original name, "Program for Evolutionary Dynamics and Operations", was a bit too on the nose.
