Keep shining the light on these slimy characters, so they do not escape notice hiding in dark crevices

So they won't evade *justice*

The more light we shine on them, the greater the chance they go down. What got Epstein ultimately was Julie K Brown.

Greg, your work is incredible. Writing about history from the distance of years is one thing; writing about living history without getting lost in the weeds is another. Kudos. And a question: you are spending so much time with malevolence, perfidy, greed (fill in more) - I hope you have a strong suit of armor to protect you from losing your faith in the essential goodness of humans. At least a very large part of humanity. Stay safe!

Thank you, Gabriele. When I find myself getting too angry or enraged, I shut down the laptop and do something else, take a walk or whatever. Also: I DO believe that most humans are good. Almost all, in fact. Unfortunately, the malevolent ones are also the ones with the will for power, and thus wind up in positions where they have disproportionate authority for evildoing. I was in NYC on 9/11, for example, and let me tell you: everyone in the city was nice that day. It was astonishing but also not astonishing at all.

"You need Power, only when you want. to do something harmful. otherwise. Love is enough to get everything done." - Charlie Chaplin. I am thankful for your work to hold your nose and wallow through the stink to hold those people if not responsible, but exposed. Stay healthy.

I'm looking forward to more Venn diagrams with "men" in the middle...any women?

They've all been men so far, but there are women, too: Ghislaine certainly.

'...These are not the only “men in the middle,” of course. There are plenty more: Tom Barrack, Erik Prince, Steve Bannon, and Rod Rosenstein, to name but four. We’ll be looking at them in greater depth in the weeks ahead. ...'
