I watched some of the videos and you could see DNA paternity tests sitting around on the tables in front of the dancing girls his Manhattan townhouse ( example- 24 seconds in - https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2010/EFTA01648... ) .

Are you suggesting there are accessible files at justice.gov for which the URLs were not part of the "dump"? That simply swizzling the URL you can access additional files that were not part of the released tranche?

The DOJ after that initial release has been constantly removing files. For example this one is not available anymore: https://www.meidasplus.com/p/doj-just-deleted-this-document-...

And many others.... https://www.meidasplus.com/p/doj-deleted-an-epstein-prosecut...

The final set, might be the one that really ends our current western civilization...

Why do you find it implausible that he got money to develop this challenge? I work in the non profit space and we get these kind of gifts all the time, with minimal strings attached or sometimes the deliverables don't see the light of day. 20k is actually small in my experience and they often come from random people who support our mission. Sure we do investigate and sometimes refuse based on findings, but we don't k…

Primarily because there is no evidence that the challenge exists, and it's hard to imagine what it could even be. Chomsky's own research interests didn't really lend themselves to setting some kind of math olympiad style 'challenge'. If he was excited about setting up prizes or challenges in linguistics, you have to wonder why he never once did it. He certainly could have if he'd wanted to.

Just because you can't find it doesn't mean it didn't happen. Also just because you give it hard to imagine, does not mean that it didn't happen, or that people with better imaginations as you could accomplish that.

I was a generative linguist in my previous career and no linguist that I know has ever heard of this Chomsky challenge thing. It’s hard to prove that something doesn’t exist, but I’m fairly sure it doesn’t.

That second one is horrific. I only made it to page 19 of 86 before closing it in disgust. Glad that website saved it. Crazy they are being deleted after being released!

If you watch this recent interview, from one of the victims, and listen to the subtle details of how the grooming happened, you realize words like monster or diabolical dont even start to describe it: https://youtu.be/xSkzN7R5VAM?t=57

Let's hope you never wind up in the massive email history of a terrible person because people like you will wish you dead.

If I end up in the massive email history of one of the most vile men in US history, please flush me down the toilet assuming I haven't already heavily invested in the Remington retirement plan

Sorry sheikh, busy opening windows in Moscow.

Best I can do is drown you in a bathroom sink around February 2029, not getting dirty toilet water on my good shoes again.

Then be careful to never do anything that is interesting enough or important enough that it will become newsworthy, or write any books or articles on interesting or important topics, or even posting helpful things on social media.

There are a lot of people in Epstein's email history who are there because the above kinds of things caught his interest, and he wanted to discuss or recommend them to others.
