Roughly six pages from more than 8,500 documents provided by Epstein’s estate to Democratic members on the House Oversight Committee include meeting schedules appearing to show appointments with Bannon and venture capitalist Peter Thiel during Donald Trump’s first term in office.

The documents also mention Musk joining a potential trip to Epstein’s island in 2014.

Prince Andrew also is listed in the documents as a passenger on Epstein’s aircraft, with financial disclosures provided to the committee suggesting evidence of payments from Epstein to an individual listed as “Andrew.”

His appointment with Bannon in 2019 was just months before Epstein was federally charged with trafficking and sexually abusing dozens of minors. Epstein pleaded not guilty and was found dead in a jail cell in New York in August 2019.

    That’s probably just a lie, the sudden change of personality part. Or there’s an academic theory that his conversion and pacificism were just PR.

    In the province where his last brutal massacring happened, which supposedly precipitated his change of heart, the version of the steles that he commissioned leaves out the change of heart part and just details what a brutal massacre he committed.

    So if he’s still selling himself just as a brutal conqueror in the province where that image is beneficial for suppressing revolt, how sincere was his conversion?

    Modern understandings of the brain also suggest that someone who took his meals in the custom built torture dungeon he called “ashoka’s hell”, is probably neurologically incapable of empathy. The sudden appearance of empathy doesn’t really fit with how psychopathy works.

    It’s not universally accepted, but I find it convincing. The lies of the powerful are often written in stone.
