Yeah. And then he. I believe he resigned. So. Wow. So Larry Summers is one, but this is not Larry Summers because this is a psychology professor. Netizens found Virginia's first original manuscript for her memoir. So that was the whole thing. She had another manuscript for a memoir, but she was misguided by a journalist who told her, if you fictionalize a lot of things, then you can't be sued because you could argue it's a work of fiction. So then she kind of fictionalized a few things in the manuscript. It was never published. But a lot of attorneys that are against victims, they've been using it as like, well, you lied in that. How do we know you didn't lie in everything else? God forbid anyone write a novel once in a while. Like, it doesn't make any sense. But in that manuscript, she does name him as Stephen. And so with that netizens put together that it may or may not, may or may not be Steven Pinker. She says Steven was a quirky little man with white hair and a mad scientist look about him. He is also. Steven Pinker is also a Harvard professor like Larry Summers. And he is someone who had previously rallied against Cancel Culture. And then he started blocking anyone who mentions Epstein in his mentions. So, okay, yeah, he has no associate. He says that he has no association with Epstein other than, quote, other than third parties who have invited us to some of the same events. He also states, that is not me. I've never set foot on Epstein's island nor any of his other residences. This is not to say that Giuffre's accusations are true, just that they are not about me. We don't know if Steven Pinker is associated with Epstein in any sort of sinister way. And there is no proof that he is the psychology professor described in Virginia's book. But that's just the discourse. You guys know how holiday potlucks or friendsgivings go. Three days before the party, everyone's texting the group chat Wait, who's handling dessert again? Who's on beverages? Should I just grab something on the way? Here's what I learned after years of holiday stress shopping. Just bring Stella Ros. Just do it.

The complicated enough without having to stress about who brings what to the potluck or who's on desserts and who's on beverages for Thanksgiving this year when that inevitable group text starts up, take it from me and volunteer for wine duty.

Then we have Marvin Minsky. He is a prominent MIT cognitive and computer scientist. He helped co found the AI division like the AI research center at MIT. He's also dead. He died in 2016. Yeah. Virginia states in her 2016 deposition they instructed me to go to George Mitchell, John Luke Brunel, Bill Richardson, another prince, I don't know his name, a guy that owns a hotel, a really large hotel chain, I can't remember which hotel it was. And Marvin Minsky. There was just a whole bunch of them that I just. It's just hard for me to remember all of them. You know, I was told to do something by these people, constantly told to. My whole life revolved around just pleasing these men and keeping Ghislaine and Jeffrey happy and their whole entire lives revolved around sex. They call massages sex. They call modeling sex sex. Virginia has asked where did you go to have sex with Marvin Minsky? I believe it was the U.S. virgin Island. Jeff's Jeffrey Epstein's island in the U.S. virgin Islands, Epstein island, which Virginia's attorneys later check records and in 2002, while Virginia is being trafficked by Epstein, sure enough, Epstein and Minsky hosted a gathering with prominent figures in AI on the island. That's not to say definitively that that is evidence that she was trafficked to Minsky. But there is a connection there. Virginia states transparently this could have been when I was trafficked him for the first time. I'm not sure of the date. What I do know is that Minsky was in his 70s then, precisely 56 years older than me. We shared a birthday and I remember what happened? Wow. She alleges in her book that she was sent into one of the cabanas, and she will never forget Minsky's bald head and just trying to focus on the waves outside the sound of the waves, as she was forced to. Later in the book, she details how when she first went public with accusations against Marvin Minsky, a colleague of Minsky's at mit, Richard Stallman, sent out an email blast suggesting that Virginia was a willing participant in the cabana. According to Virginia, he wrote, quote, we can imagine many scenarios, but the most plausible scenario is that she presented herself to him as entirely willing. But according to npr, this is also the type of guy that writes, I am skeptical of the claim that voluntary pedophilia harms children. The argument that it causes harm seems to be based on cases which aren't voluntary, which are then stretched by parents who are horrified that their little baby is maturing. He later takes it back and says that he spoke with victims and he changed his mind about it, which I didn't know that you had to personally talk to victims to see why this take should put someone in prison. But okay, he had to resign after that. Yeah. But it was not just MIT under fire. Like I said, it was Brown University, it was Harvard University. And it's also the billionaire's dinner host, John Brockman. John Brockman owned one of the most powerful literary agencies in the world of academia. He is the one that's publishing all of these books from these scientists and these think tanks, and he would host this billionaires dinner annually at the annual TED Conference. TED Talk Conference in Monterey. Yeah, yeah. Virginia describes in her memoir that at one point, she flew from Epstein's property in Zorro Ranch to Northern California, near San Francisco, where Epstein had all these meetings. And they were in town for the Billionaires Dinner hosted by John Brockman, which also. The TED conference is there. And Virginia describes Brockman as being a fixer for Epstein. So he would connect Epstein to scientists who were doing research that Epstein was interested in funding. And again, a lot of people are like, okay, this is where a lot of conspiracies come in. Some people are saying, hey, he was a narcissist. He was this kid from Brooklyn who was obsessed with the ultra elite. He wanted to be the smartest guy in the room. So he surrounds himself with all of these scientists so that he could present himself as one of them. And then there are others that are like, or he's an Israeli spy that's also funding all of these major things. There's like a lot of conspiracies. It really depends on the rabbit hole that you want to go down. And I think also conspiracies are one of those things where it really depends on the day that you're reading them. Some days you feel a little more conspiratorial, some days you don't. So I guess that's up for everyone to decide which rabbit hole they want to go down. But Virginia states in her book, in due time, Epstein would force me to have sex with at least two other people in Brockman's circle. This does not implicate John Brockman directly. He might truly have no idea what Epstein was doing. But he's also connected to Marvin Minsky, Steven Pinker. I mean, they are all academics, so that could be why. But there could be something else. I will say it's very interesting that he's been pretty quiet. He has not really said much. But again, this is not to say that he is definitively connected to any wrongdoing at all. I'm just saying it's a name that comes up. But one of the most terrifying people listed in Virginia's book is a former prime minister of a nation. In Virginia's deposition, she is asked, if you're confused by a question, you need to let me know so I can clarify the question. Okay? Okay. For example, if I asked you the question, were you sexually trafficked to a foreign president, do you understand what that question means? Yes. What does it mean? Was I lent out for the purposes of sex to a foreign person? President? All right. What is the answer to that question? Yes. Virginia describes this man in legal documents as, quote, a well known prime minister. She says this was the most violent man that she has ever witnessed. Quote, he wanted violence. She describes as how he would choke her until she loses consciousness, only to bring her back and do it all over again. It's like he took pleasure in her fear for her life, in her begging for her life. She says, horrifically, the prime minister laughed when he hurt me and got more aroused when I begged him to stop. I emerged from the cabana bleeding from my mouth and down there. She says for days it hurt to breathe and to swallow. She said it was the most terrifying experience of her life. That she got on her knees afterwards and begged Epstein to promise her to never send her back to the prime minister ever again. Again. She doesn't know if Epstein owed this man or was in fear for this man or what. But instead of promising to never traumatize her like that ever again, he just coldly says, yeah, you'll get that sometimes. Referring to the violence of the Prime Minister, Virginia writes Epstein cared only about Epstein. She says the Prime Minister's assault was so bad that quote, at that point I hit bottom. I now knew I wouldn't survive. I saw only two possible options. Either someone Epstein trafficked me to would kill me or I would self exit. She details the second time that she's sent to service the Prime Minister on Epstein's private jet. She says she was in fear for her life, but maybe it's the lack of privacy on a private jet. Thankfully, he did not enact physical violence in the form of choking and causing her to bleed all over like the first assault. But this was just a regular assault. Virginia says, I didn't know it then, but my second interaction with the Prime Minister was the beginning of the end for me. In the book, the Prime Minister is unnamed, but it's not because Virginia does not know this man's name. She says while we need to be brave about naming our abusers, we must also protect ourselves. There are certain men who I fear naming, she says. For the Prime Minister, I know his name and he knows what he did to me. Even though when others have sought comment from him about my allegations, he has denied them. I fear that this man will seek to hurt me if I say his name here. There are two guesses online about who this former Prime Minister could be. The most common conspiracies and thoughts come down to two, with some saying that it could be the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Tony Blair, with some netizens pointing out how odd it is that Tony Blair was invited to the White House shortly before Virginia's memoir was released. According to some reports, Tony Blair and Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein were buds. They all knew each other and the Daily Mail in Australia has reportedly stated whether this is accurate or inaccurate is up for debate that the Prime Minister in the book is a British ex Prime Minister. But a lot of netizens actually don't think that the Prime Minister in question is Tony Blair. Not that Tony Blair is off the hook in the eyes of netizens. A lot of netizens don't like Tony Blair, but they think specifically that this Prime Minister is the former Prime Minister of Israel, Ehud Barak. According to the Times of Israel, Ehud Barak had visited visited Epstein 30 times in 2013-2017, which is not the same timeline as when Virginia was being trafficked, obviously. But the netizen speculations being that those are just the years that are tracked and or released. He could have been friendly with him for a very long time. In fact, Barack himself states that he had met Epstein in the early 2000s, but of course, he denies any sort of wrongdoing, stating that, yes, he had gone to Epstein's house a few times. I came to his house quite a few times with my wife. However, there are pictures, right? There are pictures of who it appears to be Ehud Barak entering Jeffrey's Manhattan townhouse, and a lot of young women also entering, allegedly around that same time frame. Could be his wife's friends, could be not. But furthermore, his spokesperson did state that, yes, he had attended several small functions in Mr. Epstein's home in New York. But if the times of Israel is to be believed, 30 times in the span of a few years is hardly several. It sounds like a lot. He's also quite friendly with Colombia's Andre Pastrana. And Virginia reports in her deposition that she met another huge politician, a leader of a foreign country that had a Spanish accent. So people think that that could be Andre Pastrana, but that has not been proven at all. None of this has been proven in the court of law. And that is not to say that any of this is not true or that Virginia is not to be believed. I mean, I don't think that there's really anyone who doesn't believe Virginia, but I think it's. I mean, you see what's going on with the Epstein files, of course. Right. But some argue that the timeline with the ex British Prime Minister Tony Blair makes more sense. However, it's just more people seem to be theorizing that it's the former Israeli Prime Minister. With one netizen commenting, no wonder the US Government doesn't want to release anything. It would paint a very bad picture on their bestie nation. But none has painted a worse picture, aside from the US than what is being done in the United Kingdom. At one point, Prince Andrew was known as the playboy of the royal family. He is divorced from his wife, Sarah Ferguson, and according to some reports, after he divorced his wife, he started having an on and off relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell.
