The unimaginable rudeness of Epstein and his cronies – Joop

They speak the language of bullies and pimps

Journalists all over the world are busy investigating the Epstein files, with or without the aid of artificial intelligence. The search is mainly for prominent figures who can be linked to the biggest sex scandal of the century. The harvest is not bad.

What as bycatch by, among others, the NRC what is brought to light is the incredible rudeness of Epstein and associates. The elite who imposed themselves on this asset manager on a grand scale appears not to be refined in any respect.

When you think of Epstein’s circle of acquaintances, you think of royal figures, members of the American money aristocracy with roots in the Fifth Avenue of the nineteenth century, Eastern princes, scientists of stature, prominent politicians.

They read sensual poetry to each other in the company of attractive odalisques. They belong in the atmosphere that led to the Taj Mahal four hundred years ago. They know the Kama Sutra. They stand in a tradition of refinement such as you find in the Arabian Nights, for example. Or the relationship between Louis XIV and Athenaís, Madame de Montespan.

You assume that Epstein and his friends would at least keep up appearances. None of that. They don’t bother. They don’t get any further than mutual foul-mouthing. They expressed themselves in the most disparaging terms about their regular partners. They are trying to outdo Jeffrey Epstein himself in rudeness about the girls he hosted for them. All this to please Epstein, to show that they were cut from his cloth so that there might be an invitation to come to the ranch or the island. If the communication resembles anything, it is that of the Utrecht corps members with their banga lists. It is the language and behavior of bullies and pimps.

In the eyes of the barbarians around Epstein, they are utensils and disposable items.

Anyone who exposes themselves like this deserves no respect and certainly no leadership position. We can already draw that conclusion.

For the rest, I am of the opinion that the surcharge scandal should not disappear from public attention, nor should the affair surrounding Groningen natural gas now that the last wells remain open and Friesland is being offered such an outrageous compensation for allowing new extractions.
