_"No Evidence" of Epstein Blackmail Operation Not Surprising_
The more "it doesn't make sense," the more one should suspect behind-the-scenes shenanigans.
FTA: When institutions and powerful individuals operate for long periods without scrutiny, they may be tempted to commit such outrageously corrupt acts that disclosing them to the people becomes an insurmountably difficult task.
For years there has been a lot of consternation about the refusal of federal agencies such as the CIA and FBI to disclose what they know about Jeffrey Epstein (as well as about the assassination of JFK, the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the murder of Seth Rich, and countless other stories). Guys like me have also noticed how the U.S. government, including Congress, canβt ever quite seem to get to the bottom of the origin of SARS-CoV-2.
The truth of these stories carries incalculable liabilitiesβliabilities that would call into question whether the involved institutions should be allowed to continue existing.
I have experience with big liability cases. For a long time I investigated the mysterious deaths of Mary Mahoney on July 6, 1997 in Georgetown and Seth Rich on July 10, 2016 in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of D.C. The circumstances of both deaths strongly raise the suspicion of a political motive, but both were nevertheless chalked up to βbotched robberiesβ by the Metropolitan Police.
Someone with power doesnβt want either death elucidated, and I was advised that pursuing my investigations would not only be frustrating and fruitless, but hazardous for my health.
Is Racial Profiling the Reason for Non-Whites' Higher Arrest Rate?
This old canard claims that "racial profiling" is the reason that non-Whites are overwhelmingly over-represented as the perpetrators of crimes in the FBI's Uniform Crime Report and National Crime Victimization Survey. (To learn more, see my previous entry, The Truth about Interracial Violence and 'Hate Crime': An Analysis of The Color of Crime.)

Young people typically start out on the political left but become more conservative as they get older. Baby boomers who once marched against the Vietnam war got jobs, got married and had children. Now their grandchildren see them as tethered to Fox News.
Todayβs young Americans are following the first part of that pattern. Ask a group of them to choose between capitalism and socialism and they will split right down the middle.

What everyone is missing are the CHILDREN who were abused by EPSTEIN and OTHERS. I donβt care whether he killed himself or not.
For me, I want to believe @FBIDirectorKash & @FBIDDBongino but with the FBIβs track record with laptops (Hunter Biden, Anthony Weiner, Seth Rich, now Epstein), never mind the FBIβs previous track record for telling the truth, it is really hard to fathom that something else isnβt going on here.
I think there now needs to be an incredibly transparent briefing to the American people immediately by the DOJ.
The lack of trust in the FBI and DOJ is so thick you can cut it with a knife.
Cβmon guys, the American people are not stupid or afraid to know the truth.
_Epstein didn't sexually abuse children all by himself_
Others had to know, because they had to actualize the operation. The scale of what Epstein was doing is simply way too large to believe that he wasn't "sharing" his children with others.
There is no "Epstein Client List" simply because one was never maintained (by Epstein or Maxwell, regardless of who else might have done so,) or else because it was destroyed.
Prince Andrew was credibly accused by Virginia Giuffre as having been one of Epstein's clients for his child provisioning service.
re: The (possibly apocryphal) Assange quote:
The blackmail material created by Epstein would be FAR more valuable to a major intelligence agency, and one (or more) of them would be able to use it with FAR less risk to itself.
Israeli Prime Minister and architect of the genocide in Gaza, Benjamin Netanyahu, will be meeting with Trump at the White House tomorrow. This is the third time since Trumpβs inauguration that they have met to conspire in creating "a New Middle East."
Their vision is to eradicate the Palestinian people, land, and all those who stand with the Palestinian cause to create a region subservient to US-Israeli domination.
Just got a pre-litigation notice phone call from Chase's legal department. They're preparing to sue me. I was waiting for the first call like this from the debtors before I finally filed for Bankruptcy. Today was the day! Will be filing Chapter 7 by end of August 2025. #BadApple

Once upon a time, there was a university president who couldnβt send an email more than 500 miles, and the wise sysadmin said thatβs not possible, so the president said come to my office, and lo and behold, the emails stopped before going 500 miles. Has technology improved? Can we send an email farther than 500 miles in 2025?
Thereβs a lot to the story thatβs obviously made up, but if we fix the details so that it can happen, we can reproduce it.
connect
We need some code to do a nonblocking connect that will timeout quickly. This is mostly copied from the examples in getaddrinfo for lookups and connect, and connect for the nonblocking check, adapted slightly to have a very short timeout and report errors.
The poll timeout is 3ms, as specified by the lore. I think this is nonsense, why would an invalid or incomplete sendmail configuration default to three milliseconds? But thatβs the time you get backing a lightspeed delay out of 500 miles. Weβll see if it matters.
The secret here is the kernel will always round 3ms up to at least one whole tick, 10ms. And maybe we get a bit extra from the current tick. So the actual timeout will be 10ms to 19ms. Enough time to make a quick roundtrip even at half c. poll or select with a zero timeout returns immediately, so not much chance of finishing the connection before that happens.
Weβre not going to try sending an email with sendmail because I donβt want to wait three days while the message sits in the retry queue before failing. I hope they had some sandwiches delivered to the presidentβs office while the demonstration was in progress.
success
Letβs try connecting to a few schools, working our way across the country.
ix$ ./connect upenn.edu
it's a live one!
ix$ ./connect uchicago.edu
it's a live one!
ix$ ./connect ucla.edu
it's a live one!
Now Iβm getting suspicious, we appear to be bending spacetime.
ix$ ping ucla.edu
ping: Warning: ucla.edu has multiple addresses; using 3.33.167.235
PING ucla.edu (3.33.167.235): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 3.33.167.235: icmp_seq=0 ttl=245 time=1.162 ms
64 bytes from 3.33.167.235: icmp_seq=1 ttl=245 time=1.189 ms
Okay, so we have a problem where indeed the schools are not located in spacetime the way we were expecting. Everybody is using cloud whatsit for hosting, and they may well be hosted in the same data center. We havenβt gone 500 miles. For all I know, we havenβt gone 500 feet.
At this point I realized Iβm also pinging web servers, not email servers, which weβll get back to. Thereβs no reason the story canβt be about a failure to load a web page farther than 500 miles. But the story is funnier if itβs an email, haha, he thought it was strapped to a pigeon leg and the bird got tired.
redo
In search of success (failure), I switch to running the experiment backwards, looking for schools with ping times that are more realistic. After a while, I found a few.
ix$ ping rutgers.edu
PING rutgers.edu (128.6.46.111): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 128.6.46.111: icmp_seq=0 ttl=241 time=8.896 ms

Rutgers is pretty close, and indeed I can connect. Stretching out a bit farther, we start having some trouble.
ix$ ping cmu.edu

ix$ ./connect cmu.edu

ix$ ./connect maine.edu
it's a live one!
ix$ ./connect maine.edu
connect: connect failure: Operation timed out
Maine is about 500 miles from here, so it seems weβre right on the edge again.
Dayton is 500 miles in the other direction, but the tubes are just a bit fuller.
ix$ ping udayton.edu
PING udayton.edu (131.238.73.184): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 131.238.73.184: icmp_seq=0 ttl=235 time=25.429 ms

ix$ ./connect udayton.edu
connect: connect failure: Operation timed out
ix$ ./connect udayton.edu
connect: connect failure: Operation timed out
Thatβll never work. As we might have predicted, the speed of light is not significantly different in 2025.
mx
And now to make it biblically accurate, letβs consider some MX servers. This would require switching the lookup code to res_query, or we can just use some existing tools to make observations.
First, get some records for schools.
host -t mx upenn.edu
upenn.edu mail is handled by 10 mxa-00390e01.gslb.pphosted.com.
host -t mx stanford.edu
stanford.edu mail is handled by 10 mxa-00000d07.gslb.pphosted.com.
Okay, so not really much different than www servers. Thereβs a ton of outsourcing. The ping times are interested however.
ix$ ping mxa-00390e01.gslb.pphosted.com

I can walk across town and hand deliver a postcard to Penn, but I canβt send them an email. Stanford, across the country, is almost but not quite within email range.
ix$ host -t mx ucla.edu
ucla.edu mail is handled by 1 smtp.google.com.
ix$ ping smtp.google.com
ping: Warning: smtp.google.com has multiple addresses; using 142.251.167.27
PING smtp.google.com (142.251.167.27): 56 data bytes

Ha, there we go. I can send an email 3000 miles to UCLA without fear of timeout.
conclusion
The 500 mile limit for perfectly misconfigured servers is still in place, but good luck trying to determine which domains are accessible using a roadmap.
