"Salacious claims from Jeffrey Epstein that Bill Gates contracted an STD following 'sex with Russian girls,' and colluded with the disgraced financier on a plot to secretly slip his wife antibiotics, were revealed in the latest Epstein files release."
[2]The New York Times . ( [3]Alternate URL )
"A representative of the Gates Foundation said, 'These claims — from a proven, disgruntled liar — are absolutely absurd and completely false. The only thing these documents demonstrate is Epstein's frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with Gates and the lengths he would go to entrap and defame.'"
And Yahoo News points out [4]the error of social media posts about the news :
> None paid attention to who actually wrote the email. The email was from Epstein — to Epstein... Both the "From" and "To" fields list Epstein's personal Gmail address. The message appears to be a draft, written during a period when Epstein's relationship with Gates had deteriorated. In it, Epstein alleges that Gates asked him to delete messages related to an STD. But the document does not show Gates making that request, nor does it provide independent confirmation that any of the claims are true.
>
> It reads like Epstein venting. It is not Gates confessing.
"In a 2021 interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper, Gates called his relationship with the disgraced financier 'a huge mistake'," [5]notes the New York Times . "He also sought to downplay his interactions with Epstein, saying he had several dinners with Epstein, with the hope of getting him to generate donations to the Gates Foundation."

Finding a non-sent email in someone's draft folder, addressed to the author is not evidence.
I went into this story fully expecting to hate Bill Gates. Instead I find I agree with his statement. This looks like slander by a dead pedophile, not reality.

Why would Mr. Vaccine talk to a pedo about his health issues? He didn't really know the guy that well and I can't think of guys who'd discuss such things even with their friends unless they were long term close friends. Plus Gates is a very long time rich man, most his life he has had suck ups and con people after his money. How could he possibly be so naive? Especially when he was a ruthless business man.

What's the point of writing an email from yourself to yourself?
If you actually hit send, it will have all the necessary email headers appended to it, with timestamps as a sort of verifiable evidence that you indeed sent the email at the given date/time.
If you just leave it in the draft folder, it can be modified at any time.

Let's be real: the entertainment offered by Epstein was sex with girls and young women. It is overwhelmingly likely that every regular male visitor was enjoying that entertainment.
The files must be released, but somehow the pimping and prostitution angles are missing. Strange...why would that be?

Clearly credible enough they panicked and removed the document from public viewing before redacting it and releasing it again. If there was nothing to worry about they'd have left it and just refuted it. The coverup says more about the legitimacy than it should do.

Exactly. If the documents were damaging to Bill Clinton they would have been released long ago.

Doesn't that make you question what is actually in the redacted areas even more so then? I think they are feeding breadcrumbs and leading people on to cover up a far deeper conspiracy.

Follow the money (Score:4, Interesting)
I don't understand why we can't have transparency on how Epstein made his money, and how it was spent. There must be a money trail. Seems like the odds are good that he got a hundred thousand here, another hundred thousand there, and that the people giving him that money most likely paid for unsavory services. That would drill down to the truth quickly.
Re: Follow the money (Score:2)
Because the way he got his money would expose the creeps. That's why it's all a massive secret. Should bring back hanging for a bit...
Re: Follow the money (Score:2)
By definition, the way he made his money wasn't transparent. So it will be hard to investigate and provide that transparency.

People have their panties in a bunch because someone comes from Mexico during the harvest season to pick crops, but they don't seem to care about this. To stay on-topic, it seems like if records show Gates didn't give Epstein any $$$, it should be case closed on this accusation.

The feds had all this under both Trump and Biden and have determined there are no other prosecutions they could make three times over [except for whatever they got from Maxwell].
I suspect they thought of 'follow the money.'
There is nothing in these documents they can build a case out of and lots of circumstantial/unsubstantiated stuff connecting Epstein to just about everybody famous because he traveled and partied in those circles. That's why they didn't want to release it. That and the volume of materials

Epstein was given a sweetheart deal by Alex Acosta who was Labor Secretary in Trump's first term. Instead of prosecuting him for the multiple instances of trafficking under federal laws, Epstein was given a single charge of soliciting prostitution and instead of spending it in prison, was allowed to spend most of his time at home under "prison release".

You're not going to get Justice against the ruling class. It's just how that works. You don't spill the blood of Kings.
The hard part with being American is that our ruling class figured out a while ago that taking the formal mantle of ruling class paints a nice big Target on them. So instead they called themselves billionaires or CEOs or philanthropists or whatever and a large percentage of the population ignores the fact that there are people who are above the law.

Because it involves Israel. And saying anything remotely bad about Israel gets someone labeled as an anti semite. Israel funds this guy to entrap people so Israel can pull strings. Israel gives tens of millions of dollars to US politicians and in return they get the largest foreign funding.
