"On the evening of Dec. 2nd, 2010, a handful of America's media and entertainment elite—including TV anchors Katie Couric and George Stephanopoulos, comedienne Chelsea Handler, and director Woody Allen—convened around the dinner table of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein"
"It seemed Epstein had joined the ranks of former Pres. Clinton, director Roman Polanski, and former NY Gov. Eliot Spitzer, whose sex scandals faded...The conventional wisdom among his friends was that Epstein has been victimized by greedy, morally dubious teenage girls..."
"'I've never condoned paying for sex, but if the young lady lied about her age it's her own fault,' explained one socialite, who along with hedge-fund manager Wilbur Ross and real-estate magnate Leon Black hobnobbed with Epstein at a Southampton movie screening..."

Acosta said in 2011 he backed off after prosecutors found themselves under investigation. washingtonpost.com/politics/labor…

THREAD: Every so often I volunteer with a bipartisan group that trains young women to run for office. The last time I did this there was one woman who asked how you run for office when there is something you don't want to talk about.
I gave some general insight into how candidates often try to create a zone of privacy while becoming public figures. She didn't get more specific & I didn't ask.
Whatever it was I could tell it was something that both motivated her and that she felt she could never disclose or bear talking about in public. Which made me wonder: How many women don't run for office bc they can't bear the idea of talking about what they have experienced?

Pretty wild the stories about this socialist candidate in NYC. "She has already been outed as a former Republican, and now a state senate candidate is under fire for neglecting to report her income as a nanny and leading an anti-abortion group in college." nydailynews.com/new-york/brook…
She also has described herself as an immigrant and a Jew but according her brother in this piece she was born in Miami and raised Christian. >> “We were born in Miami, both of us,” Alex Salazar told Tablet. tabletmag.com/jewish-news-an…
More from her brother via Tablet: “There was nobody in our immediate family who was Jewish … my father was not Jewish, we were not raised Jewish,” he said.

Omarosa: “It had finally sunk in that the person I’d thought I’d known so well for so long was actually a racist. Using the N-word was not just the way he talks but, more disturbing, it was how he thought of me and African Americans as a whole.” amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/a…
"Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, which owns the rights to the reality TV show, and its British creator, Mark Burnett, have resisted pressure to release the footage because of 'various contractual and legal requirements.'"
Worth recalling: "An inaugural committee official...said Ms. Winston Wolkoff’s firm also paid the team used by Mark Burnett, the creator of 'The Apprentice,' whose involvement in the inaugural festivities was requested by Mr. Trump." nytimes.com/2018/02/15/us/…

Melania & Wolkoff move in the same Manhattan circles.

After divorcing Wolkoff’s father, her mother married Bruce Winston, son of famed jeweler HARRY WINSTON, who eventually adopted Wolkoff.

12/2/10
A handful of America's media and entertainment elite—including TV anchors Katie Couric and George Stephanopoulos, comedienne Chelsea Handler, and director Woody Allen—convened around the dinner table of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Epstein had completed a 13-month sentence that spring for soliciting prostitution from a minor in Palm Beach. Now he was hosting a party for his close friend, Britain's Prince Andrew, fourth in line to the throne.

💪A thread on amazing Twitter threads 😍👇
In the process of revamping my #Twitter profile (dormant earlier), I have come to appreciate the wonderful underutilized platform it is!
Some threads contain crisp knowledge capsules that can help many. Starting 1 on such curated content
1. I largely rely on this: threadreaderapp.com to find content
2. What I wish to share is what coincides largely with my interests- #Learning, #Investing, #Behavioralpsychology (#mentalmodels, #bias, etc), #Businessbooks, Industry insights/case studies, Life experiences, etc
3/n
 While it will be difficult to structure the order of content here, I will try to block threads by category (as noted above & more). Feel free to comment with any good thread that you would have come across. Cumulative learning always helps.

1) Ready for a new #FalseFlag event? Here goes.

In about a week, approx. 1,500 (and growing) #CentralAmericans, most from #Honduras are ignoring #immigration checkpoints, military bases, and #police in an organized march toward the #USA #border.

#QAnon @POTUS #BorderWall
2) Despite their being in #Mexico without authorization, no one has made any effort to stop them. Organized by "a group of volunteers called Pueblos Sin Fronteras" (People Without Borders). Yeah right. #Fake and #staged.

#NWO #openborders #Soros #FalseFlag #QAnon #BuildTheWall
3) They're calling it a caravan, intended to help migrants safely reach the United States, bypassing not only authorities who would seek to deport them, but #gangs and #cartels who are known to assault vulnerable migrants. This is the lie being fed. What's the #truth?
