  Hi, Michael. 

  I'm writing about the Jane Doe case in SDNY involving Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein. Can I talk to you briefly? Story is likely going online in the next couple hours. Apologies for the short notice. I wanted to get a comment on behalf of Mr. Epstein. 

  Thanks and best, 
  Joe

  Hi
  I'm a reporter at CNN, and my colleague Blake Ellis and I have read that Bill Clinton and Donald Trump have both visited Epstein's private island. We are trying to determine whether there is any truth to the allegations that either or both of these men may have had sexual relations with minors while there. We know that you have been Epstein's pilot, so we're wondering if you would be willing to speak with us completely off the record. We are not focusing on the allegations against Epstein -- we are solely focusing on Trump and Clinton given the current allegations being levied in the press. If you don't feel comfortable sharing anything via social media or email, feel free to send us any documentation/proof that might be helpful anonymously via mail:

  I appreciate the opportunity to respond to your email. I am currently on a plane until noon pacific time, and then heading to a meeting right after landing, till about 2 pm or so. While I am running the risk that you will report my comments, if you do, either out of context, or incompletely, I am responding with an effort to be complete, as I always try and do with reporters. If you decide to go ahead with a story, which, after reading my responses, I hope you decide is inappropriate, I would like you to quote my responses fully in order not to distort them.

  It is hard to know how to respond to a list of false and/or distorted allegations, along with misleading statements. I treat people I interact withwith respect, and I work hard to support and mentor students, colleagues, and members of the general public, and this is supported by the institutions of which Iam a part. I do not sexually harass people. Ifthe purpose of your reporting is to somehow argue that Universities and other institutions are lax in dealing with well known individuals like myself, then in fact the situation is quite the opposite. My high public profile opens me up to more scrutiny at these institutions, not less, and it also opens me up to a host of unfounded outside complaints and allegations that other faculty do not receive, each of which the University has to respond to. The fact that I have remained a professor in all Universities with which I have been associated, in good standing, and also an officer or an invited speaker at organizations like CFI, which have strict harassment policies, is a confirmation of the fact that their experience validates a trust in my behavior. I was asked to be an honorary director of CFI, and continue to be invited to their last 3 meetings to speak, specifically because, as they have written me after the fact, the attendees universally appreciated my talks, my courtesy, and graciousness in spending time with the attendees. If the purpose of your report is to impugn my integrity or suggest I have a history of harassment, that too is false. As noted in one of your ‘miscellaneous facts’, as a scientist I try and remain skeptical, and rely on empirical evidence, rather than allegations and innuendo by people whose motives I cannot judge. I also try and judge the facts in context. The fact that Universities and other organizations employ me or have me on their boards, or invite me to meetings is because they value my contributions and my actions.

  The items you list are false or distorted. Item 1 refers to a consensual encounter in my hotel room in 2006 where we mutually decided, in a polite discussion in fact, that taking it any further would not be appropriate, and there were respectful and platonic encounters afterwards. There is nothing to comment on in item 3, which involves an anonymous 3rd party claim because I know nothing about it, there are no details provided, and it clearly was not taken seriously enough to result in any university action. Item 4 is confusing. Are you saying that because I decided I didn’t want to go out to a bar with a group of attendees that I was harassing them? The second part did not happen. Re incident 5: The ‘female companion’ in this case is my wife, who accompanied me on the cruise, and has attested to the fact that the claim is false. This is what I wrote at the time in response to the blog in question, causing it to be taken down.

  It is worth responding to Item 2 and 6 in more detail,

  Re item 2: the student in question was interested in science communication, and on dozens of occasions came to me, asked me to talk over coffee, or wrote to me with questions. When she asked about advice for after graduation I DID tell her she was different than the other students in her year. The rest of them were interested in going on to graduate school in physics, but she was interested in science communication so IJ told her that she might want to take a different path. Since she was the only woman in her year, as I recall, I did ask her on one of these occasions if that made it difficult for her in any way. I asked, because as a faculty member and

  Underweight positioning, buybacks resuming, positive momentum and strong fundamentals all indicate that there is still further upside potential in financials (more details below). Our financials sector specialist thinks XLF could have another 20-25% upside given the many levers to the Trump Trade: less regulation, higher interest rates, higher vol, economic growth, loan growth, etc. The asset sensitive regional banks are more of a pure play on a rates move but we view the larger cap banks as having multi-pronged upside given the aforementioned points.

  That said, given the velocity and magnitude of the recent move and uncertainty around the impact and timing of Trump's policies, we believe options offer better risk-reward than being outright long financials stocks here. With flat call skew, "appearing" call spreads with upside knock-ins price well.

  Buy a 1 year XLF call spread for 2.6% premium
  • Buy a 110% call
  • Sell a 117.5% call with an at-expiry knock-in at 125% (call is not active unless XLF is 125% or higher at expiry)
  o Total premium is 2.6%
  o Gross max payoff if knock-in is triggered: 2.9x (7.5%/2.6%)
  o Gross max payoff if knock-in is not triggered: 5.7x (14.9%/2.6%) — you have upside up to 124.9%

  Post Election Flow Skews - Buyers of Health Care (via ETFs) and Financials (mainly ETFs)
  • US Buyback Flows
  • Cons Disc, Technology and Financials are the largest 3 sectors for US buybacks (over 70% of execution). We are seeing a seasonal increase in buybacks as we come out of the low seasonal month of the year (October) and should see increased buyback executions until year-end, another source of upside for the Cons Disc, Technology and Financials  sectors.

  Global Positioning, Nigel Tupper, 11/14. Large long-only funds are more underweight Financials than any other sector and are UW this sector in all regions.

  Future of Financials conference hosted 90 public and private companies at our Future of Financials conference. We are raising our price objectives across most of our names. Three primary reasons why we think there is upside remaining after the recent rally: 1) an improved outlook on both activity levels and interest rates, driving revenue upside; 2) potentially lower regulatory burden, particularly as new supervisory leadership can come with the new administration; and 3) relatively lighter positioning in US financials vs. other sectors.

  Trades Gaining Momentum: Finance-Related Assets vs. S&P 500

  In the period since the US presidential election, the three top-performing S&P sectors and industry groups have all been finance-related (Banks, Financials, Diversified Financials)

  The Flow Show, Michael Hartnett, 11/18. Violent rotation: record equity ETF inflow, record financials inflow, biggest bond outflow in 3.5 yrs, record EM debt outflow.

  We continue to see further upside in financials.

  • Erika Najarian, BAML financials research analyst, just returned from a marketing trip. Bottom line: North American investors are very bullish the banks (long only AND hedge funds AND macro funds), but then conclude "I don't own enough". Note that high touch flows have slowed down significantly since Thanksgiving and where the buying has been concentrated in XLF (every client sector we have has been a better buyer of XLF).

  • Client focus:
  1) Regulation: Excitement, with the base case that it's not getting worse.
  2) Sentiment on rates: Cautiously bullish
  3) Sentiment on growth: Also bullish
  4) Sentiment on corporate tax rate cuts: buyside more bullish than sellside. In 1986, bank stocks exploded upward (outperforming the S&P) after Reagan's tax reform bill passed the Senate; and 2) in 2003, the last time we saw personal tax cuts, loan growth industry wide accelerated in 2003 and 2004.

  • Biggest Pushback on owning sector at current levels: Too far too fast: BKX +18.00% post election: Valuation coming into question and 04 has typically been a seasonally weak qtr. Bulls defend valuation on '18ests with potential upside to 2018 [PS from —25-40% and stocks still cheap vs. discretionary.

  • Price action and sentiment keeps us constructive, we like the long and would expect US financials to benefit from any beta chase into year end.

  • How to play it? We still like "appearing" call spreads on XLF
  o Buy a 6 month 105% call with a short 110% call that knock in if XLF trades above 115% during the life of the trade for 1.75% premium cost
  • Gross max payoff if knock-in is triggered: 2.8x (5.0%/1.75%)
  • Gross max payoff if knock-in is not triggered: 5.6x (9.9%/1.75%) — you have upside up to 114.9%

  Dear Joi,

  Hello, I’m writing from Politico Magazine, where we’re working on a special package of stories timed to Donald Trump’s
  inauguration in January, and I wondered if you would be interested in contributing.

  As he prepares to take office, our plan is to publish a handful of out-of-the box ideas for President Trump, suggested by
  writers and thinkers from a variety of fields and ideological positions. Whether the idea has to do with politics, policy,
  personnel or governing style, we’re looking for suggestions that are specific and, above all, surprising; something inventive if
  slightly far-fetched is better than a pet cause or a well-trod policy proposal. (This exercise doesn’t require that you support or
  even agree with Trump, but it does require a willingness to engage.)

  Do you have an idea along these lines that you wish the new president would consider, whether something in economics or
  otherwise? If so, I’d love to hear, and we can discuss next steps from there. Ultimately, we’re aiming to publish a handful of
  short pieces (about 800 words each) as a package of proposals.

  Many thanks, and please let me know if you have questions.

  Margy Slattery

  Obama nominee Penny Pritzker's $80 million mistake

  President Obama's billionaire nominee to head the Commerce Department, Penny Prizker, understated her
  income by $80 million.

  Emily Heil

  Hey, these things happen: Penny Pritzker, President Obama's nominee to lead the Commerce Department,
  understated her income by some $80 million and had to file a correction to her government-filed
  disclosures, Bloomberg is reporting.

  That might sound like a lot of money, but it's all relative. Pritzker, whose family founded the Hyatt
  hotel chain, is worth about $1.5 billion. So it's easy to see how a few million — or 80 — could go
  missing.

  Maybe she left it in the other purse?

  A spokeswoman told Bloomberg that the $80 million was "a substantial amount" and that Pritzker's advisers
  corrected the error as soon as they realized it.

  Per Bloomberg: "Documents released last week show Pritzker received $32.2 million for a decade's worth of
  consulting on the restructuring of domestic trusts," but new filings indicated she made at least $80
  million more than that.

  Ruminating (in Betjing traffic) on plant biology and ways to structure possible Closer To Truth (CTT) series to portray your sense and insights.

  For plant biology per se, there’s probably three strong episodes, with higher production values needed to illustrate ideas/principles (more than the usual CTT talking heads). To fit the CTT framework (and audience expectation), these fascinating discoveries or hints of complex, multifarious mechanisms would need to be explored (even if not yet understood) in terms of simple, fundamental principles (applicable across disciplines - so-called ‘general systems theory’).

  This potential series on plant biology could be extended to 5-6 episodes by including medicinals - plant derivatives that are, for some conditions, best treatments for numerous diseases. This could include, for example, a critical look at Chinese medicine.

  I think, though, there is a bigger idea lurking here. Your unique ways of thinking, exemplified by plant biology, encourages another, larger possibility for a significant CTT series. Each of the topics you’ve brought up, and many of your past fundings, sought kinds of breakthroughs or radically new ways of approaching reality and the knowledge and manipulation of reality. So, how about producing a big CTT series on just that - "Radical Breakthroughs"?

  I can imagine CTT episodes on each of the following kinds of topics you’ve mentioned, in which radical breakthroughs or deep structural significance are being appreciated:

  - Plant Biology

  - Deception (biology)

  - Power Laws ("found everywhere in nature, Pareto, law of large numbers”’)
  - New Math ("category theory, membrane computing, as a new tool for cognition”)

  - Mathematics and Truth
  - Music ("a tool to interogate the brain, not a product of but a lense into the inner software”)

  - Dreams ("always on, consciousness blocking access, schizo have sleep disorders’’)
  - Power (nature,as you said, "financial, physical, intellectual, ability to do things in a local space")

  I’m sure there are other such categories of ‘radical breakthrough’ - for example, several wild ideas in neuroscience, such as levels of information from sub-cellular to massive circuitry.

  We would clearly unify the topics and episodes with an overarching thematic vision of “radical breakthroughs” that “challenge conventional wisdom” (this phrase was an early Closer To Truth subtitle).

  Several of these topics can have more than one episode. We can easily produce 13 high-quality episodes and thus have a coherent full season on “Radical Breakthroughs", which would be distributed and marketed as such.

  Hey Jeffrey,

  Thought I'd check in and see what's up on your end.

  - I've been watching closely Trump's appointees and there, he might be putting Balaji (a big
  bitcoiner) as FDA head, and Allison seems to be somewhat in favor of something like Bitcoin. And
  of course, Thiel has said that Bitcoin is what Paypal should have been... Curious to hear where
  your head is at on this matter.

  - Last week, | presented my research at Stanford's BPASE, it was well received. The most
  interesting thing | came up with for that is an inverse-input contract; i.e., funds that are "locked" to
  be spent only in the case where there are other funds that are not used in a specific way. An
  example of something that could be built with this: a matching donation contract, where you agree
  to donate your money to charity if someone else donates to charity, and you would not be able to
  release your funds from that agreement until they use their funds not for charity.

  - I'm in Japan this week, teaching a class to 100 Japanese Engineers to get the up to speed on
  bitcoin (with DG). It's very interesting to see the trepidation first hand that they have with respect to
  the technology, despite their debit-based society being more geared for it in any case (DG felt that
  even putting Bitcoin in the course name would scare away students). One of my friends (a hedge
  fund manager) told me that female japanese engineers are very good, and drastically under-
  valued. | made sure to get a few invited to the class, we'll see if he’s right. On the whole, it will be
  interesting to see the caliber of engineer Japan has to offer on this front.

  Best,

  Jeremy

  In recent weeks, prosecutors with the Justice Department's public integrity section — which examines possible 
  political and government corruption — have sought documents related to Broidy's business dealings. 
  Among the information sought by investigators are details about Broidy's work on behalf of and interactions 
  with the Chinese and Malaysian officials, according to two people familiar with the document requests. 
  As part of their efforts, prosecutors have subpoenaed casino magnate Steve Wynn, the former RNC finance 
  chairman and longtime Trump friend, for copies of records and communications related to Broidy. 
  An attorney for Wynn, Reid Weingarten, declined to comment, saying only that Wynn is cooperating with the 
  Justice Department. 
  "Steve Wynn is completely cooperating with the investigation and he certainly has no reason to believe that 
  anyone acted improperly in anything he knew about or was involved in," Weingarten said in a statement.

  As you are well aware, There is little I won't do for you, or at least try to do asa friend, and a great deal that
  I have already done ( both known and some things that willneed to remain unknown.) Our arrangement was
  for me to architect sophisticated structures that would be beneficial to you. that is what I have done and will
  continue do in order to fulfill my obligations under our agreement. The discovered fact that you in reality
  need an entire family office built from scratch has been trying Ihave aleady agreed de- facto to try
  to help. Iwould suggest that Phaidons payroll and attention pales in importance to your personal
  structure,which has taken a back seat, Some of my suggestions regarding the Eysium office are as
  follows you will need a budget of 3- 5 million per year. CEO 1 million, new tax person to work with rich,
  250. new bookkeeper ,200 new paralegal to work with ADA ALan etc , coordinating with Apollo, Akin , paul
  weiss , new acct openings, sec filings , sales tax review, etc. $150. art point person. loan , inventory,

  after weeks of requesting? odd. when you suggested that heathers behavior was emblematic of a sloppy
  office , brad said lets not talk about emblems??! bill pay , admittedly no change for the year. . plane not
  done. though it was the only thing i suggested doing first in july. . I sent you a list of 10 consultantts. brad said
  three, . 1 didnt want to push it. I was shocked that brad was opining on things he knows little or nothing
  about. tax issues. 1031. neg basis , note payoffs ( the same idea he said he had had from the beggining??!!)
  . answers re LBF holdings that can be corrected (they cant) . valuations that have never been read. . When
  we met in your lobby he seems surprised that 1 was there. I dont know if he felt somewhat sandbagged. ..
  the savings on the note payoff is aprrox 33 % of 1.8 billion. real money if you do phaidon which i see no
  reason not to . if later josh and ben want to buy it back with you or without you they can. i will walk you
  through the structure one on one. . the losses will offeset the calder gain as well as apollo gain.

  Im aware that seeing what you saw frustrated you. I felt badly for you.

  You wanted a contingent deal. real value. etc. I will not of course hold you to your deal .. its silly. its not
  how i work or a reflection of our friendship. my proposal is as follows. I want away from your buisiness , but
  at the same time leaving you in good shape. __I think you should pay the 25m that you did not for this

  year. for next year its the same 40 m as always, paid 20 in jan and 20 injuly, and then we are done. I will give
  you advice and counsel but new people will be running your operating machine. I will oversee all the work
  that needs to be done you and I will hire new people , and it will be self running. ( it was may in my house
  when you told brad it had been 5 months and you were getting fed up ) I will set up a parallel . office , somenoe
  like wendy dolman or her quality is paramount. two accountants two bookeepers and two office

  admins. . alan and zoe will handle trusts and grats. heatehr diana george will be incolved in art partnership. if
  you want brad, analysts etc. and kids to do investments I have little to add in that regard ,except to be able to
  account for things properly. I suggest that the kids must have skin in any deal.

  Alternatively , we can continue to focus on fun and let someone else do the things that you want done. and
  you and I can kibbitz about it all. structures outcomes risk, museums. charity, ( joslins answer by the way
  was I had asked how much charity was leon planining to give this year , (the 2m) he didnt include your
  foundation or the payment to me, or from debra and you??!!

  Dear Jeffrey,

  As you probably know, Woody Allen's legal team said that we couldn't use the film we shot of him: online,
  for broadcast, anywhere.

  It was a fantastic experience taping with him and so, even if I can't ever use the footage, I'm still grateful to
  you for making the day possible. But of course I'd like to use the footage. I decided when--way back-- we got
  this very negative answer back from his lawyers that I should just take my time about asking --since it would
  take us 2 years to be ready to edit the footage anyway (The online course is chronological. When I taped
  Woody we were still back in 1730. Now we've gotten to the 1920s)

  Well, we've now arrived at the season when we'll be editing materials on William Carlos Williams for our
  course on Modernism and, as we discussed on Saturday, on poetry and other arts, The Poetry of Art, Sport,
  and Play

  I would also, of course, love to make a tv episode out of the conversation, but the threshold question is
  whether he'll let us use it for anything at all. In case it would matter,

  Other performers who have already taped with me include

  John Lithgow,
  Diane Paulus
  Julie Taymor
  Nas

  Eve Ensler
  Damian Woetzel
  Kate Burton

  Lil Buck Riley
  Alfre Woodard
  Herbie Hancock
  Tony Kushner

  and those who have agreed to tape with me include

  Sally Field

  Lena Dunham

  Yo Yo Ma

  Anna Deveare Smith
  and more.

  however - that is all in the past.
  In order to move forward

  I would ask that you realize that very unlike yours, My business is only comprised of my personal
  attention and my personal time . Time that I was forced to grossly overspend on your various issues
  last year. . As you are my very close friend I will not have you participate in a bidding process that I
  have decided 1 will have this year for my time . (hopefully a more fair way to allocate ) I would also
  ask that you keep in mind that though our deal expired months ago. (also keeping in mind , that your
  understanding of the final payment terms neither reflected the emails or my memory, we finished it up
  your way. ) I have answered every call Brad , joslin, Ada or you, have made . reviewed docs over and
  over/ until once again, I was forced to insert myself strongly as I thought it dangerous not to. I made
  serious dollar and time concessions last year.very serious I am wiling to continue to accommodate
  some of your concerns , but I am, under no circumstances , none, willing to spend my time for free.
  its not fair. After cleaning up Carlyn's mess , which was a few weeks and 30 million dollars . We
  were both highly aware of the dire circumstances in which you found yourself last year, and in fact due
  predominately to its seriousness. and those very circumstances I took extra care in our negotiations .
  (you had claimed I had you over a barrel , ( a horrible position to be in with my very close friend.),
  unfortunately I fear that if you are not cautious ,in the near future, another barrel will appear of your
  own design )

  I heard you when you said you believed 1 had already been paid for the work that is now required. The
  art partnership has fully answered all your concerns and discharged all my obligations and more so.
  . (FYI Carlyns art partnership that you referenced is similar in only its title.) You will also recall
  that you required that my payments be at the end of my work not at the beginning as everyone else's .(
  my work was never to include hours upon hours of training your staff). I eventually agreed, this of
  course should make clear that the 2014 tax year that will close Oct 2015 is not covered by our past
  agreement at all. I pointed this very fact out to you when I initially proposed a multi year agreement
  right out of the box. you said you preferred not. As you said ,I have produced results to date, far in
  excess of even my own exalted opinion of my projections. I have devoted a monumental amount of my
  limited amount of time-- way, way in excess of our agreement. I will be fair, I am willing to roll in
  the amount still outstanding from last year if that helps .. However, As my best student , and my only
  one, you are now capable of doing most, if not all, of the required work yourself. I can put my
  whiteboard away when you come to eat and just have fun, trade stories,. share moments ideas etc.. I
  am of course always available to guide you as a friend if you choose that route . always . It will take a
  great deal of your time , but you will not have to spend any more money on mine .

  We are scheduled to meet fri at 430 , I leave at 5 am sat morning.

  Yesterday , I again spent hours upon hours of my time with your office. ,( speak to brad to get
  flavor) and you and 1 will discuss the results in gory gruesome detail on Friday. it mirrored many other
  weeks spent doing the things that I don;t have the time to do.

  In order to keep things in perspective, maybe reviewing an analogy I have used before with you,

  might be helpful. You and your family are a 6 billion dollar corp. with an income between 250 -500
  million dollars per year. It contains a few operating biz's , a large wide array of existing investments,

  They're Not Really Out to Get You 
  By EDWARD JAY EPSTEIN 
  Dec. 18, 2015, Wall Street Journal 

  Conspiracy, a word derived from the Latin "to breathe together," has been a salient part of the darker 
  side of recorded history ever since some 60 conspirators in the Roman senate, including Brutus and 
  Cassius, plotted together to assassinate Julius Caesar in 44 B.C. Nowadays the "C" word does not always 
  sit well with journalists, who commonly employ it in conjunction with "theory" to describe paranoid 
  distortions of reality. 
  Even so, a criminal conspiracy is not a rare phenomenon. Not only was a foreign conspiracy responsible 
  for the monstrous 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center (as well as the previous attempt to blow it up in 
  1993) but, according to the Center on Law and Security at Fordham University, over 90% of routine federal 
  indictments for terrorist attacks since 9/11 contain at least one conspiracy charge. The government's 
  pursuit of conspiracies is by no means limited to terrorism. Conspiracy charges are the rule rather than 
  the exception in cases brought against businessmen accused of fixing prices, evading environmental 
  regulations, using insider information or laundering money. 
  But there are also pseudo-conspiracies that exist only in a delusionary or misinformed mind. And some of 
  them achieve a huge following. In Pakistan, according to public opinion polls, a majority of the 
  population believes that the 9/11 attack was staged by President George W. Bush to launch a war on Islam. 
  The claim that the 1969 moon landing was faked is still around. Just two days ago a crew from a Russian 
  TV channel rushed to my apartment to interview me about a viral post on YouTube in which the deceased 
  director Stanley Kubrick supposedly made a deathbed confession to having filmed the landing in a 
  Hollywood studio—even though everything about the post, including a fake Kubrick, was untrue. 
  Why people believe in pseudo-conspiracies is the focus of Rob Brotherton's fascinating book "Suspicious 
  Minds." Mr. Brotherton, an academic psychologist, advances the thesis that the belief in pseudo-
  conspiracies proceeds from the "quirks and foibles" in the way that the human brain, or at least some 
  human brains, process evidence. He lucidly reviews studies showing common defects in the brain's wiring, 
  such as the bias that selects evidence to confirm rather than undermine a pre-adopted thesis. "We seek 
  what we expect to find," as Mr. Brotherton puts it. Relatedly, "biased assimilation" causes us to 
  "interpret ambiguous events in light of what we already believe." 
  Discussing Richard Hofstadter's 1964 essay "The Paranoid Style in American Politics," Mr. Brotherton 
  accepts Hofstadter's characterization of proponents of politically motivated conspiracy theories as 
  "paranoid" and suffering from "a psychic phenomenon" that prevents them from seeing the absurdity of 
  their position. But he disagrees with Hofstadter that this condition affects only a small number of 
  people on the fringes of society. For Mr. Brotherton, "conspiracy theories thrive in the mainstream." 
  Until the controversy over the validity of Warren Commission's 1966 report on the Kennedy assassination, 
  the phrase "conspiracy theory" had a more neutral meaning, suggesting a plausible yet unproven claim 
  about multiple actors in a single event. Only in the aftermath of the Warren Commission did it become a 
  derogatory term used to suggest theories that subvert conventional wisdom. To those who doubted the 
  commission's finding that a single gunman killed Kennedy, Earl Warren became, Mr. Brotherton's says, the 
  "figurehead in a vast cover-up." 
  It is not easy to find an objective criterion that distinguishes the inquiry into a real conspiracy from 
  one that chases a pseudo-conspiracy. Both types rely are the eyewitnesses, documents and forensic 
  evidence. The best that Mr. Brotherton can offer on this score is to cite Stewart Potter's famous comment 
  on pornography: "I know it when I see it." In the context of suspicious minds, though, one person might 
  see a plausible case for a conspiracy and another only outlandish connections. The distinction is in the 
  mind of the beholder. 
  Mr. Brotherton offers a sample list of conspiracy theories, including ones alleging that Abraham Lincoln 
  was assassinated on the orders of his vice president; that the moon landing was faked; that Area 51 in 
  New Mexico is home to extra-terrestrial technology under government auspices; that President Obama is "a 
  communist Muslim from Kenya." Such theories are meant to show that suspicious minds leap to absurd 
  conclusions. These are chosen because there is no evidence to support them. 
  The picture changes, however, if we consider, for example, the theory claiming that Lincoln's assassin, 
  John Wilkes Booth was part of a larger conspiracy backed by the Confederacy. On April 14, 1865, at about 
  the same time that Booth shot Lincoln, one of his associates stabbed Secretary of State William Seward 
  and another stalked Vice President Andrew Johnson with a loaded gun. The military commission appointed by 
  President Johnson, after hearing 371 witnesses testify and after examining Confederate bank transfers and 
  cipher communications, concluded that the three attacks were part of a conspiracy sponsored by the 
  Confederacy and convicted eight of Booth's associates, four of whom were hanged. Here we have a 
  conspiracy theory proceeding not from crackpots but from a government commission backed by the new 
  president and most members of Lincoln's cabinet. 
  Clearly the defects in the brain's wiring that lead to crazy theories may lead to the confirmation of 
  theories that are adopted by rational people. Indeed, the confirmation bias can work in contradictory 
  ways: confirming not only conspiracy theories but the impulse to reject them in favor of conventional 
  wisdom. Can this defect be corrected? Here I am reminded of a woody Allen's absolutely brilliant 1996 
  comedy "Everyone says 1 Love You," in which the once-liberal son of a New York liberal family starts 
  spouting conservative theories until a doctor solves the problem by restoring the proper flow of oxygen 
  to his brain. The movie has a happy ending when the son goes back to spouting his family's liberal

  Hi Tyler, 
  Im at a Kinko's. 
  I see that you're boosting non-website url's -- are you sure this is the right approach? (vs. boosting Jeffrey's sites?) the 
  .org and foundation sites are slipping down and the USVI and science are permanently off the first page. 
  Thanks for you input.

  We are pushing up the highest authority domains available for "Jeffrey Epstein" in general. I had reserved the 
  approach of pushing non-website URLs for a few months because you expressed concern with making sure 
  our URLs are on first page... but I had call w/ Mr. Epstein in the beginning of January and expressed that is a 
  limiting factor for moving Forbes/NYPost as quickly as we'd like. 
  Getting up different types of results for different folks is required to dislodge the negative placements. Once 
  they are dislodged it is much easier to restore our websites back to the rankings and have our "ideal" first 
  page. The reason for this is Google tracks click data on results and as soon as Forbes/NYPost are on second 
  page they will begin a slow death (less clicks on those, more clicks on the ones we have on first page) 
  From there we will see our properties shoot up due to the interlinking between them and the reinforcement we 
  can provide from sites like Harvard, Nat Geo, and any other publications we have influence over. Using the 
  "short-term" links is one battle around other pages is just a part of the overall war... You saw how Google was 
  changing up much more dramatically when we had multiple Epstein's on the first page vs. having a saturated 
  first page. 
  I feel like time was lost focusing on making sure it was Mr. Epstein properties when he has giving explicit 
  permission to promote any URL required to dislodge the negatives. 
  I hope this makes sense.. I haven't heard from Rich on the last invoice I sent (1/29/14) and am hoping all is 
  well. Do you know if he's out of the office ?

  Thank you Christina - I tried your cell a few minutes ago and will be available on mine at your convenience. It 
  is imperative we get a placement out by mid next week in order for us to hit the timeline I spoke to Mr. Epstein 
  about.. The fresh piece needs to come out while we are dislodging the current results (as you are observing 
  now). 
  Mr. Epstein if you have any questions on current status vs. our conversation around Jan 10. please advise - We 
  are continuing to work aggressively to clean up results per our last call. I am also available to discuss this at 
  your convenience today or over weekend.

  Understand the two negatives are still present. We are still on track per our last call of 60 days from 1/10 if we 
  can get the placement out next week Christina is preparing for us and results continue to respond as they have 
  been. 
  It takes 30 days for Google to respond in most cases and we ramped up 28 days ago with boosting alternate 
  URLs per our call 
  We are working very hard to make this happen and should have Christina set up to support us with columns on 
  a few top sites at no cost moving forward 
  I am available for a call now or this weekend to review.

  Just got off the phone with Vinit. 
  DB stopped marketmaking OTC oil options - for short dated Pd go for exch traded - better liquidity and lower transaction costs in and

  My central scenario - Kerry Lavrov meeting Friday will be a bust and the Crimea referendum this weekend will result in "yes" given 
  the 59pct ethic Russian makeup. Sunday/ Monday sanction rhetoric from ranging from g8 expulsion to Iran-style bank embargo is 
  raised a notch. Russia follows with more threats of counter-sanctions. My sense is the Obama 5m of 696m SPR release is to show 
  Merkel and co he will step in. He needs to because there are 8 small European and Baltic countries that rec 70%+ of their gas from 
  Russia. Germany gets 30%. 
  Cross asset correlations outside of the US are increasing past few days - eg copper and the Turkish lira hourly charts are on top of each 
  other past 4 days. I'm worried there is a 30-40pct(?) chance of a hard risk off move in markets in first half of next week - more focused 
  on European equities, copper, EM FX (Turkey, ZAR, Ruble etc) than SPX. In that scenario oil is way up. 
  Exchange WTI calls - there are 2 options (as of 3pm est): 
  5day expiry 17march 2014 underlying clj4 97.92 
  and 
  35d expiry 16apri12014 underlying clk4 97.59 
  ** The 5 day options are a bit short - one possibility is sell a 3usd out of the money put (95.5 strike) for 20cents and buy a 2usd OTM 
  100 call for 25. Net pay Scents. But 5d is a bit short for me. 
  **For 35d expiry You could look at selling 91.50 (6usd OTM put) for 56cents and buying 103c (5.5usd OTM) for 58cents or the 102c 
  (4.5usd OTM) for 76cents. 
  CL1 <comdty> OMON on Bloomberg has live strikes and bid/ask.

  Here is a correct version, the last page is the signature page. It would be great if I could get this back tomorrow. Nothing is due until the recap is complete, hopefully in about 4 weeks. I am planning to start those discussions the end of next week.

  Things are going well. The more I learn the more excited I get. I will be at Tarana tomorrow discussing a window mount version to try to get to self-install. 1gbps in a self-install package would be the last step.

  We will only need a tower ever 4-5km in the city, which is basically 2 or 3 rooftops for all of Boston. I met with American Tower today (I know their CEO and CTO) and they have plenty of room on the John Hancock.

  Capital Market Outlook from our Chief Investment Office delivers a balanced mix of macroeconomic insights and global market views, with in-depth analysis from the CIO's investment strategists and analysts. It offers timely commentary that can help you navigate markets and take advantage of emerging trends across the globe.

  This week's topics are:
  • Macro Strategy: Why 2%? — While Federal Reserve policy has always been focused on the goal of price stability, the specific meaning of price stability has been refined over the years from a general and non-specified, vague concept to the current very specific quantitative definition of a 2% long-run average for the personal consumption expenditures deflator. We describe the evolution and rationale for the more specific target.
  • Global Market View: Global R&D: From Apollo, to Apple, to Alibaba? — The recent unfolding tech cold war between the U.S. and China will likely only accelerate the pace of spending on global research and development as the two parties vie for technological supremacy. China faces significant technological hurdles, while the U.S. needs to rethink and rebalance the role of public and private sector research and development spending.
  • Thought of the Week: A Golden Diversifier — Gold's recent outperformance versus the U.S. dollar has potentially triggered a bullish technical pattern. In our view, the market's expectation for looser monetary policy together with recent comments by President Trump implying a desire for a weaker greenback have been tailwinds. In addition to these drivers, we view gold as an appealing diversifier in light of elevated geopolitical risks. However, a comprehensive trade deal between the U.S. and China would likely constitute a more significant headwind for the yellow metal.

  Find out more in this edition of Capital Market Outlook, and feel free to contact us with any questions you have about our market views.

  Dear colleagues,

  We are writing to alert you to an issue that threatens all of MIT's federally funded research activities but that is often underappreciated.

  We're referring to the Trump Administration's proposal to put a 10 percent cap on indirect cost reimbursements to universities by the
  National Institutes of Health — an idea that is already beginning to be talked about for other federal agencies as well.

  An article explaining indirect costs and why they are important to MIT can be found in the most recent Faculty
  Newsletter: http://web.mit.edu/fnl/volume/295/zuber.html.

  The Administration's proposed cuts to federal R&D agency budgets have rightly been met with consternation on campus. The indirect
  cost cap proposal is actually an even graver danger because it is easier for the government to institute, and it would do far-reaching
  damage that is harder to reverse. We need faculty and research staff to understand the devastating effects that capping indirect cost
  would cause to MIT and other research institutions.

  The indirect cost cap is easier to implement than a cut to the budget because the Administration can act unilaterally without
  Congressional approval. The proposed agency budget cuts are already running into strong headwinds on both sides of the aisle in
  Congress, and they cannot move forward without 60 votes in the U.S. Senate. The indirect cost cap, by contrast, does not attract the
  same level of attention because it is not well understood, and the Administration can simply impose a cap — at a single agency, or at all
  of them (since indirect cost reimbursement is fairly uniform across the government now).

  What would a 10 percent cap mean for MIT? A 10 percent cap on all federal agencies would cost MIT around $100 million a year. To
  put that in context, the financial crisis of 2008, where we saw a significant decline in endowment, required us to reduce spending by this
  same order of magnitude. Fortunately, the recovery of the endowment was relatively quick, and we were able to recoup some of that
  loss. In this case, the 10 percent cap is unlikely to be altered in the foreseeable future. Since this is a recurring cost, attempting to
  recover this in the future through endowment payout would require on the order of an additional $2.6B in endowment. These indirect cost
  funds partially reimburse MIT for upkeep of research buildings and equipment, and literally keeping the lights and heating and cooling
  systems on. A portion of the money also pays administrative costs required to implement federal regulations and to provide staff who
  help apply for and monitor federal grants.

  A cap on indirect costs would directly affect research and researchers. If MIT failed to receive the federal funds needed to operate
  research infrastructure, we would need to limit the number of federal grants that the Institute accepts. It would be necessary to
  introduce a process analogous to under-recovery of foundation proposals to identify the indirect costs to support each federal grant.
  While we would seek other ways to raise revenues, we would also need to cut other expenditures (e.g., through layoffs, salary freezes,
  etc.), reduce the use of research facilities to cut operating costs, and/or to allow facilities to deteriorate. All of our peer institutions are
  considering similar steps. In short, a cut to indirect costs is a cut to research funding. And it's a cut that's more difficult to handle than a
  decision by a federal agency not to fund a particular project in a given year.

  The percentage of federal research funding that goes to indirect costs has remained relatively steady for decades, and there has been
  a federal cap on administrative costs since the 1990s. The Administration may hope that a proposed cap on indirect costs is seen as
  mitigating the impact of their proposed 22% reduction of the NIH budget. Although it may obscure this impact, in reality it will worsen
  it. The Administration is claiming that a cut to indirect costs will not cut research, but in truth without indirect cost recovery, academic
  institutions, including MIT, will not be able to afford to support current levels of federal grants.

  The MIT administration is working on this matter with the urgency that it deserves. Let us be clear that no one on campus should be
  blasé or unconcerned about the proposal to cap indirect costs. Capping these costs will negatively impact every researcher at MIT.

  Please let us know if you have any questions or comments. We will keep you informed as this situation evolves.

  Sincerely,
  Martin A. Schmidt

  In this piece --- http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2011-04-01/bill-clinton-katie-couric-woody-allen-jeffrey-epsteins-
  society-friends-close-ranks/ ---

  I read:

  The crowd at the events top publicist Peggy Siegal has organized for Epstein proves the point, at least behind closed doors. "I and
  many others that know him describe him as brilliant," says Siegal.

  "His unique mind is what attracts the world's smartest people to his home." Last September, with Siegal's help, Epstein hosted a Break
  Fast after Yom Kippur. A group of 120 friends brought their children over for a buffet dinner

  This was just a few months after he finished his prison obligations in Florida.
  And here he is, entertaining --- with children present.

  This Break Fast is one of a number of social events involving post-prison Jeffrey that attracted celebrated, powerful people.
  Of course I have zero idea who said, "NO WAY" and didn't cross his doorway.

  My questions are:

  1) I You have known him for decades, were/are friends, etc.

  Why was your reaction to his crimes to continue being his friend --- and not in a covert way?
  2) What would he have had to do for you to shun him --- to cut him out of your life?

  You're the ultimate professional; you may not want to respond.

  Especially because I'm NOT reaching out to anyone else who's named in the piece.

  I don't care about them.

  But it ain't me to blindside you.

  Dear Sirs:

  We are preparing an article about the calendaring today of Mr Edwards' claim against Mr Epstein for jury trial and the witness list which names victims of Mr Epstein. and other young women who allege they were underage

  Mr Edwards claims that Mr Epstein maliciously attempted to intimidate him and his clients into retracting their claims.

  Ms further has stated to us that she intends to testify that she was flown to London by Mr Epstein and instructed to have sex at age 17 with Prince Andrew. She alleges that she was paid $15k for this encounter.

  She claims that on another occasion, Mr Epstein flew two young women to a dinner for the purpose of entertaining President Clinton. She claims she herself was sex trafficked to several other men, whose contact information is contained in an address book of Mr Epstein's filed in court records.

  May we have a comment please? Our deadline is 1pm tomorrow (SATURDAY) ET.

  Yours sincerely,
  Sharon Churcher

  Transaction complete !
  this - in spite of your collection of Elysium misfits. !!!

  With Brad out of the office and unable to run his usual interference , the level of his utter incompetence was
  brought front and center, he may be a step up from Eileen, but if he is, then it is not certainly not by much, .
  Though you and I have spent many many hours discussing the importance of details and mechanics. I was not
  shown one document re phaidon,- not one.. Brad wanted to keep it private between he and his so called"
  advisors " however as he was out of the office during the most important transaction of the year, I did get
  to spend time with joslin Joe and john, - the situation in your office is wholly ludicrous - to summarize - the
  list I provided to Brad last December - things I thought were a priority to get done after consulting with your
  office still remains virtually undone.

  IT, still desperately needed- reporting flawed cumbersome and inaccurate . all done by hand as one -off
  exercises , - airplane: re structure, (my only suggested priority in june ) is really ,no further ahead, ,consultants
  up the kazoo but nothing at all done.( the office was told that i cannot even see the proposals received without
  brads specific authorization ) - brad has no idea even as to what questions to ask. he knows little of finance, is
  run roughshod over by almost everyone in the office. he is a little man , using your power, to appear larger .
  Eileen was self aware enough to know she was over her head , that is a huge difference. bad info is
  rampant ie 3 million in deductions Im told are taken for art space but on closer examination it turns out
  they cannot be used at all. (ZERO benefit ) though you will be told yes they were deducted on the return they
  said that is the question they get asked ! " were they deducted "not -"is there a benefit" !! I asked for the
  balance sheet and P and L for Regan arts , a basic first step in order to check your financials. "sorry we never
  got one?" though 9.8 million invested, no p&l, nothing , a construction project run amok , no budget, the coo
  fired after only 3 months. , no clue. I can add that artspace financials are also a total mess.

  As your friend and in order toturn the page. I will try to be constructive

  DOMINQUE STRAUSS-KAHN ARRESTED, NOT BECAUSE HE RAPED A MAID, BUT
  BECAUSE HE HAD EVIDENCE US HAS NO GOLD IN FORT KNOX.

  Posted by admin on Jun 3, 2011 in News | 0 comments

  A startling story published by the European Union Times, could be the one of the worlds biggest conspiracy theories, a plot for a movie or a
  frightening scenario for the U.S. and world economy.

  Dominique Strauss Kahn

  According to the on-line publication a new report prepared for Russian Prime Minister Putin by the FederalSecurity Service(FSB) says that
  former International Monetary Fund (IMF) ChiefDominique Strauss-Kahnwas charged and jailed in the US forsex crimeson May 14 after his
  discovery that all of thegoldheld in theUnited States Bullion Depositorylocated at Fort Knox was missing and/or unaccounted for.

  According to this FSBsecretreport, Strauss-Kahn had become increasingly concerned earlier this month after the United States began stalling
  its pledged delivery to the IMF of 191.3 tons of goldagreed to under theSecond Amendmentof the Articles of Agreement signed by the
  Executive Board in April 1978 that were to be sold to fund what are called Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) as an alternative to what are called
  reserve currencies.

  This FSB report says that when Strauss-Kahn raised his concerns with Americangovernment officials close to President Obama he was
  contacted by rogue elements within the CIA who provided him firm evidence that all of thegoldreported to be held by the US was gone.
  Upon Strauss-Kahn receiving the CIA evidence, the report said, he made immediate arrangements to leave the US for Paris, but when
  contacted by agents working for Frances General Directorate for External Security (DGSE) that American authorities were seeking his
  capture he fled to New York CitysJFK airportfollowing these agents directive not to take his cell-phone because US police could track his
  exact location.

  Once Strauss-Kahn safely boarded anAir France flightto Paris, the FSB report says, he made a fatal mistake by calling the hotel from a phone
  on the plane and asking them to forwarded the cell-phone he had been told to leave behind to his French residence, after which US agents
  were able to track and apprehend him.

  Within the past fortnight, the report continues, Strauss-Kahn reached out to his close friend and top Egyptian banker Mahmoud Abdel Salam
  Omar to retrieve from the US the evidence given to him by the CIA. Omar, however, and exactly like Strauss-Kahn before him, has been
  chargedby the US with a sex crime against aluxury hotelmaid, a charge the FSB labels as beyond belief as Omar is 74-years-old and a devout
  Muslim.

  In an astounding move puzzling many in Moscow, Putin after reading thissecretFSB report ordered posted to the Kremlins official website a
  defense of Strauss-Khan becoming thefirst world leader to state that the former IMF chief was a victim of a US conspiracy.

  One of the United States top Congressman, and 2012 Presidential candidate, Ron Paul has long stated his belief that the US government has
  lied about itsgoldreserves held at Fort Knox. And in 2010 put forward a bill force an audit of them, .The bill was defeated, but which was
  subsequently defeated by Obama regime forces.

  When directly asked by reporters if he believed there was nogoldin Fort Knox or the Federal Reserve, Congressman Paul gave the incredible
  reply, | think it is a possibility.

  Also interesting to note is that barely 3 days after the arrest of Strauss-Kahn, Congressman Paul made a new call for the US to sell
  itsgoldreserves by stating, Given the high price it is now, and the tremendous debt problem we now have, by all means, sell at the peak.
  Reports emanating from the US for years, however, suggest there is nogoldto sell.

  New reports coming from the United States show his determination not to go down without a fight as he has hired what is described as a
  crack team of former CIA spies, private investigators and media advisers to defend him.

  Jeffrey and Ghislaine: Notes on New York's Oddest Alliance <http://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2011/03/notes-on-new-yorks-oddest-couple-jeffrey-epstein-and-ghislaine-maxwell.html>

  by Vicky Ward <http://www.vanityfair.com/contributors/vicky-ward>

  March 8, 2011, 2:30 PM

  “I’ve got a story idea for you. The rebuilding of Indonesia. Or New Orleans. Or both. Go there. I’ve just been. You will never
  think the same way about anything again.”

  So spoke not Bill or Melinda Gates, but Ghislaine Maxwell, the 48-year-old woman being written up everywhere at the moment
  as the alleged “procurer” of young women for billionaire Jeffrey Epstein.

  Epstein, 57, is the financier who spent a year in jail on charges of soliciting prostitutes—and now there is talk of another
  investigation because various women, now in their twenties and thirties, have come forward with allegations that he molested
  them when they were under-age. The allegations first surfaced in British newspapers, which have zeroed in on Epstein’s
  friendship with Prince Andrew, who has recently tried to publicly disassociate himself from his old pal.

  I wrote a piece for Vanity Fair in 2003 called “The Talented Mr. Epstein.” It was largely a business piece that focused on his
  mysterious exit from Bear Stearns in 1981, his close relationships with Jimmy Cayne, Les Wexner, the chairman of Limited
  Brands, and above all, the man who claimed to be his mentor, Steven Jude Hoffenberg, who is currently serving a 20-year-jail
  sentence for bilking investors in Towers Financial out of $450 million.

  The piece alluded to Epstein’s great friendship with Maxwell, and how she introduced him to young women with whom he had
  sexual relationships. But, in the end, the story didn’t really go there, focusing instead on the issue that remains a mystery—how
  Jeffrey made his money, and how Ghislaine made hers.

  This is not to say I didn’t hear stories about the girls. I did. But, not knowing quite who to believe, I concentrated on the intriguing
  financial mystery instead. But now the women have come back. Not the same ones, different ones. And their stories are bone-
  chilling. Journalists from England have phoned—and, in one case, flown—to ask me about Epstein and Maxwell. Who is he?
  And the British, especially, want to know: Who is she? At this point, Iam so bored of repeating myself to others—it was, after all,
  my 2003 Vanity Fairstory that really brought him into the limelight—that I have decided to write about this myself.

  Bizarrely, perhaps, I have gotten to know Jeffrey and Ghislaine far better after my piece than before it. [kept running into both of
  them, separately, at parties. Jeffrey is not a social animal so he usually has a couple of young women with him who stand two
  feet behind him, as if serving a monarch. “Do they speak?” [remember asking him once, nodding at his lookalike blondes. He
  laughed. “Not like vou, Vicky,” was his riposte.

  Iremembered that when we’d once discussed math—in particular, an isosceles triangle—and I revealed I hadn’t studied math
  since I was 14 (such is, or was, the way of the British educational system), I received a package at home via messenger. It was a
  book: “Math for idiots.”

  So he is not without humor, even though he doesn’t drink or smoke, and hates restaurants.

  “Jeffrey knows a good deal about most subjects,” newspaper publisher Mort Zuckerman told me last week. He was certainly

  preaching to the converted. The truth is, Epstein does know a lot about a lot of things. Just a few moments in his company and
  you know this to be true.

  I'm a reporter at CNN, and my colleague Blake Ellis and I have read that Bill Clinton and Donald 
  Trump have both visited Epstein's private island. We are trying to determine whether there is any 
  truth to the allegations that either or both of these men may have had sexual relations with minors 
  while there. We know that you have been Epstein's pilot, so we're wondering if you would be willing 
  to speak with us completely off the record. We are not focusing on the allegations against Epstein --
  we are solely focusing on Trump and Clinton given the current allegations being levied in the press.

  You've already got it. You have connections everywhere, you should get to Biden on that work group.

  DEEP DIVES INTO PRC FIN TECH OWNERSHIP AND TRUMP CABINET OWNERSHIP. (DO NOT FORWARD)

  ¢ H SHARES: PING AN, CICC AT CENTER OF ALIBABA, TENCENT PHENOMENON. BUY. SELL AIA. IND-X Advisors Limited Kinwick Centre, 8°" Floor ¢ TRUMP CHOICES ARE ALL ABOUT KOCH BROS & OIL/GAS NETWORK: BUY RUSSIA... ALSO SAUDI BANKS. Hong Kong
  e INVESTOR FEEDBACK: INFLATION COMING. BUY BOMBED OUT BANKS HSBC, KB, UNICREDIT? GROWING AGREEMENT ON BOOM IN US. BUY CITI, JPM.

  Schulte Research Report, ED 164: Slides

  1. Ping An & CICC are the 2 H shares that operate in the middle of Alibaba, Tencent, Lufax.

  A. The chart below represents a deep dive we did on the new world of Chinese banking. Companies like Zhong An, WeBank and Lufax will grow dramatically and will take advantage of (as well as support) the massive worlds of Alibaba and Tencent. Together, Alibaba and Tencent have market cap of $500 bn. Popping up in many of these areas of overlap are Ping An and CICC. They are strategically placed to make great strides in China. This is slowly being recognized in the case of Ping AN (See Page 8 of attached PPT). Ping An's market cap is $97 bn. It is connected to Zhong An.. It owns 44% of Lufax. And some if its management were the very ones that started WeBank. It is perfectly positioned for the coming boom in new banking. It has the best combined ROA and ROE globally and its P/E of 10x is trading on a 50% discount to the global averages. Why is Ping An trading at a discount to AIA? BUY PING AN -- SELL AIA..

  B. The other company which has the best return on capital of any broker dealer -- and is also positioned nicely for the coming boom in the new era of banking in China -- is CICC. CICC and CDH (a CICC breakaway) both invested in Zhong An and Lufax. CICC has vision and a proven track record.

"Jeffrey knows a good deal about most subjects," newspaper publisher Mort Zuckerman told me last week. He was certainly preaching to the converted. The truth is, Epstein does know a lot about a lot of things. Just a few moments in his company and you know this to be true. When I saw pictures of Prince Andrew walking in Central Park with Jeffrey, my immediate thought was that "Andy"—as Jeffrey calls him—is probably asking for help with his role as British trade envoy, or whatever his strange title is. Because if one thing's for sure: When it comes to international business, Jeffrey knows what he's talking about far more than "Andy" does. Which is why Leon Black, Mort Zuckerman and a few other financiers hang out with him. And Ghislaine? Full disclosure: I like her. Most people in New York do. It's almost impossible not to. She is always the most interesting, the most vivacious, the most unusual person in any room. I've spent hours talking to her about the third world at a bar until 2am. She is as passionate as she is knowledgeable. She is curious. She has spent weeks at the bottom of the ocean, literally going deeper than anyone else. She has sent me a DVD of the fish there. Her rolodex would blow away almost anyone else's I can think of—probably even Rupert Murdochs'. She is very well-read and can talk about most things for hours. She is passionate about Bill Clinton with whom she is close friends. Yet, touchingly, when she had to give a speech at the 40th birthday party of her best friend, Ariadne Calvo-Platero, (known fondly to her close friends as "the Tennis Goddess") Ghislaine shook a little with nerves. When it comes down to things she really cares about—and Ariadne is one of them—Ghislaine shows her vulnerability. And that vulnerability is key to understanding her friendship with Jeffrey. "He saved her," I remember a close friend of mine telling me. "When her father died, she was a wreck; inconsolable. And then Jeffrey took her in. She's never forgotten that—and never will." In many ways, the socially awkward Epstein with his big house, plane, island and ranch was the perfect replacement for her father, the late Robert Maxwell, newspaper tycoon and criminal. Sure, Jeffrey had his sexual pecadillos, but then Ghislaine's father was not without his oddities. After all, it was he who died leaving a massive "black hole" he'd fraudulently created. To Ghislaine, Jeffrey's habits may not have seemed that strange. In fact, she probably figured, rather like I have, after years of writing about he very rich, that most successful people in the end either have some weird habit (the late Bruce Wasserstein had the weight issues, the girl issues, and moved countries to avoid paying tax), or they break the law (Sam Waksal, Martha Stewart.) You don't tend to get to the top by being the world's most balanced human being. Even the folksy Warren Buffett didn't quite manage a normal life—whatever that is. He had a second "wife" for many years whose existence he has been open about. So what to make of the current fuss over Ghislaine? I haven't spoken to her or to Jeffrey, but I suspect that her loyalty to friends like Bill Clinton will keep her in good stead, in the end, she'll be out and about as always. Look at Waksal and Stewart. No one sees them and thinks: criminal. Au contraire. In this city, money makes up for all sorts of blemishes.

  That was fun- definitely the highlight of a day that was not without other interesting moments 
  Don't know which was better-- the wholly unexpected surprise reminder (by a prime minister) of my

  my producer's budget but then offered the opportunity to profess poetry for production funds . There may be 
  someone as good in New York, but i'll never tell you and you really have a heck of a seminar table there. 
  When do we do Whitman's "Song of Myself" 1-15 Who else is reading with us? I'm ready. 
  A few other follow ups: 
  David and Brigid point out that reality tv doesn't cost anything because it is, as it sounds, very low budget. 
  No writing , no special expertise or knowledge or research , no archival footage , no copyright clearance , no 
  actors, no travel beyond the one location, certainly no clinton or woody allen or justice elena kagan or 
  david brooks or Lena Dunham or even Professor New. That said, I think If were hiring the crew id do it for

  Lawyers for U.S.-based
  Turkish cleric fear attacks
  on his life

  WASHINGTON | BY JULIA HARTE

  Lawyers for U.S.-based Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen said on Friday
  they feared attacks on his life following Turkey's demands that he be
  extradited to face allegations that he ordered a failed coup against the
  government last month.

  The lawyers said they expected Gulen, who has denied any
  involvement in the July 15 coup attempt, will remain in his remote
  mountain compound in Pennsylvania.

  John Humphrys:
  The Terrier of Today

  ADD TO CALENDAR
  WEDNESDAY 9TH OCTOBER, 7PM
  EMMANUEL CENTRE
  Featuring John Humphrys and Justin Webb
  BUY TICKETS
  ‘I’m not sure I’d like me if I was listening to me.’ – John Humphrys

  John Humphrys is the Radio 4 Today programme presenter, whose forensic and sometimes aggressive interviews with figures in authority inspire love and loathing in equal measure. The Observer’s television critic once wrote that if he ever found himself sitting next to Humphrys at a dinner party he would probably drive a fork through his hand. The Tory politician Jonathan Aitken accused him of ‘poisoning the well of democratic debate’, a comment which prompted an outburst of support for Humphrys, with the Daily Mail describing him as ‘one of the most brilliant journalists in the country’.

  This autumn, as Humphrys steps down after 32 years at Today and publishes a long-awaited memoir, he comes to the Intelligence Squared stage to give an exclusive, behind-the-scenes account of his extraordinary career.

  Turning the tables on Humphrys and pitching the questions will be his Today colleague Justin Webb. Humphrys will recount the momentous episodes of his career, such as his interview with BBC correspondent Andrew Gilligan in 2003. Gilligan claimed that the government had deliberately ‘sexed up’ the dossier on the threat posed by Saddam Hussein in order to justify the Iraq War. A chain of events ensued, including the suicide of the dossier’s source, Dr David Kelly, severe damage to Tony Blair’s reputation and the Hutton and Chilcot inquiries into the war. And then there was the time Humphrys helped to get his own boss fired. His tough interview with the BBC Director General George Entwistle, days after the BBC had made false child abuse allegations against Lord McAlpine, lead to Entwistle’s resignation after a mere 53 days in the job.

  Join us on October 9 and hear Humphrys’ previously untold stories about politicians, celebrities and the BBC, and give his trenchant views on the role of the media in politics and the health of our political system.

  John Humphrys
  Award-winning journalist who has been one of the presenters of BBC Radio 4's flagship news and current affairs programme Today since January 1987. During his career with the BBC, he has also worked as a foreign correspondent in both America and Africa, as well as being a diplomatic correspondent and presenter of the Nine O'Clock News. He has presented Panorama, fronts On the Ropes on Radio 4 and presents Mastermind on BBC Two. His has written two books on the English language, Lost For Words: The Mangling and Manipulating of the English Language and Beyond Words: How Language Reveals the Way We Live Now.

  Justin Webb
  One of the presenters of Radio 4’s Today programme. He was the BBC’s North America Editor for 8 years, covering the 9/11 attacks and the election of President Obama. He writes regularly for the Radio Times and reviews books for the Sunday Times.

  Jeffrey Sachs on the End of American Supremacy

  Last month we were joined onstage by the University of Columbia economics professor Jeffrey Sachs, as he laid out his radical new vision for U.S. foreign policy. Instead of a world where America reigns as the sole superpower, Sachs argued for a new international system of equals, where America shares power and collaborates with former geopolitical rivals to solve today’s global crises.

  Sachs was in conversation with the BBC’s Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet.

  She said no his schedule changed after we changed our plans.
  I said ok I got to go call me when u feel like it. Tone was not of good feeling.
  I dint want to be in a gift giving competition while being the friend without benefits.
  Think time to just stay away for a while. If there is potential here shell find way back.
  I think I'm too eager weak at this point. The Prada thing by someone else is natural. By me seems desperate.
  Had good sense not to send off a note.
  She must be very confused or maybe wants to cut me off but wants professional connection a lot and so holds to it.

  What nice coverage in the Huffington Post.

  Living in Europe, I was not aware that Trump's proposed cuts will be so devastating to the scientific
  community.

  You asked me if I would be in New York September 18. Did you have something in mind?

  I am 77 and do not travel so well. I have cut back on my plans to travel. I can consider coming to New York,
  September has anything to do specifically with the vagus nerve - and if it cannot be done with a conference
  call on Skype.

  I will be able to stop in NYC on a future trip.
  Linda Stone was the person who I met with years ago. It was Linda who suggested that I contact you.

  Hi Jeffrey,
  Attached please find the Sept 2 position. The realized gain
  increased by the $28 k option premium that resulted from the
  barrier level trading in USD JPY. The USD sold off vs the AUD,
  GBP and the NZD today. The USD rallied against the CAD and the
  JPY.
  I have separated y t d p/lfrom Sept p/1 so that the numbers mean
  more.
  Hopefully the AUD will stay above .88 going into next Monday. As
  I write this it is approx .9o, which is good. I know it's not BRL, but
  I think that we are realizing some good gains. In the weeks ahead
  volatility will likely increase as Congress considers standing behind
  Obama and attacking Syria. Liquidity in restricted currencies can
  disappear at the trader's will. I prefer that we trade liquid easily
  currencies at a time like this.

  this is only the first quarter of the game. if you call a time out, its on the field and done with dignity, you cant 
  retreat into the locker room and send a note to the opposing side. in the next quarter she will appreciate 
  whatever you've said with respect and founded on strength. you care very much for this person. you might 
  want to demonstrate that. a note does the very opposite. . its like trump firing comey. :)

  Schulte Research Report, ED 164: Slides
  1. Ping An & CICC are the 2 H shares that operate in the middle of Alibaba, Tencent, Lufax.
  A. The chart below represents a deep dive we did on the new world of Chinese banking. Companies
  like Zhong An, WeBank and Lufax will grow dramatically and will take advantage of (as well as
  support) the massive worlds of Alibaba and Tencent. Together, Alibaba and Tencent have market cap
  of $500 bn. Popping up in many of these areas of overlap are Ping An and CICC. They are
  strategically placed to make great strides in China. This is slowly being recognized in the case of Ping
  AN (See Page 8 of attached PPT). Ping An's market cap is $97 bn. It is connected to Zhong An.. It
  owns 44% of Lufax. And some if its management were the very ones that started WeBank. It is
  perfectly positioned for the coming boom in new banking. It has the best combined ROA and ROE
  globally and its P/E of 10x is trading on a 50% discount to the global averages. Why is Ping An
  trading at a discount to AIA? BUY PING AN -- SELL AIA..
  B. The other company which has the best return on capital of any broker dealer -- and is also
  positioned nicely for the coming boom in the new era of banking in China -- is CICC. CICC and CDH
  (a CICC breakaway) both invested in Zhong An and Lufax. CICC has vision and a proven track record.
  Yet it has been a laggard. This is a top pick for H shares for China in 2017. The other bank with great
  vision in this area is CCB, which has invested in Ant Financial. BUY H shares CCB and CICC. (See
  attached PPT for portfolios and China fintech details).
  C. IPOs in 2017. I think Zhong An will be a surprise for 2017 in the Hong Kong market. Its market
  cap is expected to be $10 bn and it has interesting potential in so many areas of insurance. It
  remains an insurance company whose marginal cost of a new customer is zero. It has a talented
  team of 900 engineers and has new Al and blockchain divisions. It is rolling out an impressive array
  of products including corporate solutions for insurance and investment plans. Lufax CEO Greg Gibb
  made a big splash at the Finnovasia (Schulte Research co-sponsored it) in Hong Kong last month.
  The company is a diversified financial conglomerate akin to "Schwab meets etrade and Fidelity"--
  only 25 years ago. It needs an IPO north of $25 bn in order for the private equity partners to make
  money. Lastly, Ant Financial will come to the market for a $60 bn IPO in 2017 -- also in Hong Kong.
  This is a mothership company that goes to the heart of China's system. Its early investors are CIC,
  CDB, CCB, China Life and other vital organs of the system. It will not be allowed to fail. There are
  some questions about whether to own this through Alibaba, since Alibaba will own 33% of Ant post
  IPO. I'm in this camp. Buy Alibaba on this pullback. (See attached PPT for the full China Fintech
  Report).
  2. Koch Industries saturates both the offices of Trump as well as Pence. Mega bullish for Russia, oil
  and gas companies. Mega bearish for alternative energy.
  A. The Koch Brothers are not just two grumpy men -- they are a political party. Koch Industries is the
  second biggest private company in the US after Cargill. They operate public and secretive political
  entities in 32 states and dole out more than $500 million each political cycle to various entities in the
  strongest places. The political entities employ more than 1,200 people and the amount of donations
  available to right wing causes varies dramatically but is as high as $750 million per cycle. It is the
  third largest party in the US after the Democratic and Republican party. It controls the Libre Alliance,
  Americans for Prosperity, Freedom Partners, Institute for Energy Research, American Energy Alliance
  and Concerned Veterans.
  B. What do they do with their money? They support right wing Republican candidates for all
  organizations -- attorneys general, Senate, House and state political figures. This is where it gets
  interesting. Freedom Partners is thought of as the "Koch bank". Guess who ran this? Marc Short. It
  controls about $250 mn in funds for political activity. Guess who employed Marc Short as chief of
  staff? Indiana Governor Mike Pence. Guess who then employed him as chief of staff? President-elect
  Trump. Matt Lloyd is in charge of communications and strategy for VP-elect Pence -- he came from
  Koch Industries. Governor Pence was a frequent attendee of the secretive semi-annual meetings of
  the Koch Brothers. Guess who raised more than $100 million for Freedom Partners? Don McGahn.
  Guess who is the new White House Counsel for President-elect Trump? Don McGahn. (McGahn was
  embroiled in the Tom Delay scandal in the 2000s). Guess who had two companies which had Koch
  Brothers as investors and whose chief of staff (Chenowith) came from the Koch world? The new CIA-
  designate chief Mike Pompeo. (Pompeo's Kansas campaign received a $900,000 donation from Koch).
  Guess who gave $1 mn to Americans for Prosperity? Education secretary designate Betsy Devos.
  Guess who has written the strategy paper for the Department of Energy transition? Tom Pyle -- He is
  affiliated with the Koch Industries Office of federal Affairs and the Institute for Energy Research.
  Guess who was caught up in a Koch Industries scandal for a petrochemical port project (with a Koch
  affiliated Messr. Henneberry)? Governor Nikki Haley who is UN Ambassador designate.
  C. Advisors are ALL Koch-related. Here is where it gets fun. Former campaign advisor Corey
  Lewandowski came from KochLand. Rebekah Mercer is part of Koch and and gave $2.5 mn to
  Freedom Partners. Kellyanne Conway has connections to Pence from way back and is connected to
  Steve Bannon through the Center for National Policy. Trump deputy campaign manager David Bossie
  came from Citizens United. The Director of Coalitions for Trump is named Alan Cobb -- he came from
  Americans for Prosperity. Daren Se!nick is a transition advisor and he came from Concerned
  Veterans. Others on the Trump team who came from Kochland include Stuart Jolly, Eli Miller, Scott
  Hagerstrom and Matt Ciepielowski.
  3. BUY the hell out of Russia -- Exxon Rex is a cabinet trifecta for Koch Brothers.
  A. And there's Exxon Rex. Any contribution from Exxon received money from Koch -- and vice versa.
  Rex Tillerson is worth $151 million and is leaving Exxon next year. He seems to have accepted
  secretary of state position. He inked a deal worth $300 billion in oil and gas exploration in 2012. (For
  that, he received the highest civilian honour bestowed by Russia). This will be a boom for Koch
  Industries as the sanctions against Russia are lifted. (Thank you Uncle Vlad for interfering in the
  elections). This will be a boom for Russia -- for equities, FX and bonds. It is clear that sanctions
  against Russia will be lifted regardless of whether Russia interfered in the elections. (Clinton made
  this a campaign issue and still lost!).
  B. Anyone who thinks this will be reversed by Greenpeace or other green organization is kidding
  themselves. The Senate and House is Republican. Majority parties control all committees so they
  control the agenda. The agenda is set. These guys are geniuses with the news cycle. And the vast
  array of think tanks controlled by the Koch Brothers (most of them) allows them to control the news
  cycle as well as the opinion pages of newspapers. The web on control on public opinion from the
  Koch Brothers reaches every newspaper through a large array of think tanks like the AEI and Cato
  Institute, not to mention the vast array of Koch think tanks.
  C. If you don't like this, tough luck. Life is not fair. This is not going to be reversed. Think of it as
  watching a science experiment. Bush lost the popular vote to Gore in 2001 and completely reversed
  policies on tax, environment, Middle East, energy, fracking, birth control, and LGBT issues. Trump,
  Pence, Bannon and Koch will make a deal which will be a hybrid of religious right on moral issues and
  "zero intrusion from government" in commerce. Republicans already control the Senate, the House, a
  majority of governorships as well as a majority of attorneys general. It will be very hard to reverse
  this. And if Trump can deliver jobs to the midwest red states, more senate seats will turn red. Tom
  Pyle's list of things to for the Department of Energy's transition team is expressly designed to do this.
  This includes new oil and gas leasing projects, more fracking, more coal, more LNG projects -- and a
  green light for both the Keystone and Dakota pipelines. The working paper reneges on the Paris pact,
  the Clean Power Plan and the carbon tax. And it is expressly a climate change denial policy. States
  like North Dakota, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Iowa, Texas, Louisiana, West Virginia, Kansas and
  others will come to life again.. Most of these states have small populations but each gets a governor
  and two senators.

  Hi Jeff
  I thought this might interest you

  Polities and law
  The 2016 presidential campaign was marked by three disclosure operations, all of which appear to have had a single author. "Oppo research" is the euphemism commonly used in elections for such operations. The mechanism is fairly simple: dirt is obtained from wherever it can be found to discredit an opponent. It is then "leaked," usually either anonymously or on background, to targeted media channels. What makes the 2016 campaign particularly interesting from a counterintelligence perspective is not that both sides had their own disclosure operations, but that both sides were offered the dirt for them by a common source: Russian intelligence.
  As we now know from the emails of Donald Trump Jr., a thinly veiled intermediary, Natalya Veselnitskaya, offered the Trump campaign documents that putatively would show that Hillary Clinton had received illegal donations from Russian financiers; in the event, no such documents were proffered. But it is a reasonable assumption that Veselnitskaya could not have made such an offer, especially in a meeting attended by three other Russians, unless the move was approved by the FSB, the Russian security service.
  A second disclosure operation, this one involving supporters of the Clinton campaign, was more layered. The proximate intermediary was Fusion GPS, a research firm used by the law firm Baker Hostetler, and the secondary "cut-out" was the British firm Orbis, co-founded by former MI-6 officer Christopher Steele. We know something about this sub-contractor from the depositions Steele gave in defending a libel suit in London. According to Steele, Fusion GPS not only had him prepare the so-called "dossier" on Trump but also directed Steele to "leak" it to specified reporters at Mother Jones, Yahoo, the New York Times, the Washington Post, The New Yorker, and CNN. In some cases, Steele was directed to brief the selected journalists personally. The dirt in these "leaks" relied heavily on information supplied by two Russian government sources: Source A, whom Steele calls "a senior Russian Foreign Ministry figure"; and Source B, "a former top-level intelligence officer still active in the Kremlin." Sources A and B provided information supposedly exposing a long-time Russian FSB operation to get compromising information that could be used to control Trump. The idea that two Russian intelligence sources would reveal a long-time Kremlin-backed FSB operation bears further examination.
  Michael Morell, a former acting CIA director, casts light on the sourcing of the dirt in the Steele dossier. "I had two questions when I first read [the dossier]," Morell said in an NBC interview. "One was, how did Chris [Steele] talk to these sources? I have subsequently learned that he used intermediaries. I asked myself, why did these guys provide this information, what was their motivation? And I subsequently learned that he paid them. That the intermediaries paid the sources and the intermediaries got the money from Chris."
  Paying ex-FSB officers for sensitive information? As Steele is no doubt aware, there is no such thing as an ex-FSB officer. All Russian intelligence officers, whether currently or formerly employed, if in Russia, operate under the same tough security regime. The selling of secret information by them is espionage, pure and simple. Selling it to someone connected to an adversary intelligence service greatly compounds the crime. Sources A and B (through their intermediaries) knew that they were dealing with an ex-MI-6 man who could use their betrayal of secrets against them. The only safe way for A and B to provide the requested dirt would be to clear it with the security regime at the FSB. This precaution, a required step in such exchanges, would mean that the dirt in the dossier, whether true or false, was curated by the FSB and spoon-fed to Steele. If so, the FSB was the surreptitious provider of this part of the Steele dossier.
  The third disclosure operation involved stolen emails from the DNC bearing on the unfair treatment by Democratic Party officials of Bernie Sanders, which were posted on the DC Leaks website. President Obama identified the Kremlin as the author of this operation, saying "These data theft and disclosure activities could only have been directed by the highest levels of the Russian government." If so, as in the previous cases, the FSB would have curated the dirt. To be sure, oppo-research operatives, because of their singular focus on getting usable slime, are highly vulnerable to shady offers, but why would Russia so blatantly feed the slime to all sides in a campaign?
  The United States has a wide array of tools for monitoring Russian intelligence, including the world's most sophisticated sensors for intercepting signals, but discovering the Kremlin's motives remains an elusive enterprise because, unlike in a scientific inquiry, one cannot fully trust the observable data. While a scientist can safely assume that the microbes he observes through the lens of a microscope are not employing guile to mislead him, an intelligence analyst cannot make similar assumptions about the content of intercepted communications from Russia. If one assumes that the Russians do not know that the channel is being monitored—an assumption which, following the defection of Edward Snowden to Russia, is hard to make prudently—then the intelligence gleaned from that channel can reveal the Kremlin's activities and motive. If, however, it is understood that the Russians know that a channel is being monitored, the information conveyed over it can be considered a disclosure operation.
  If, for example, a Mafia family finds out that the FBI is tapping its telephone lines, it can use those lines to burn its rivals. The Kremlin can also use a knowntapped phone line to its advantage. Consider, for example, the tapped phone of Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak. On December 1, 2016, Kislyak went to Trump Tower to meet Jared Kushner and Michael Flynn. According to Kushner's version of that meeting, Kislyak suggested that Russian generals could supply information about Russian military operations in Syria on the condition that the Trump transition team provide a "secure line in the transition office." Of course, as Kislyak likely knew, transition teams don't have secure lines to Moscow. Kushner responded by asking if the Russian embassy could supply such a "secure line." Kislyak then used an open phone line at his embassy to relay Kushner's response to his foreign ministry in Moscow. It is inconceivable that Kislyak did not know that the call would be monitored by the FBI, since the FBI had routinely listened in on these lines for the past 68 years, or that his discussion of Kushner's request would set off alarm bells in the intelligence community.
  If Kislyak had wanted to hide this exchange from U.S. intelligence, he could have easily sent it under diplomatic cover directly to Moscow, used a secure line, or relayed it in a coded fashion. By communicating the message en clair, or in plaintext, Kislyak skillfully exposed Kushner's incredibly stupid response, which he himself had provoked, to stoke distrust about the incoming president within the U.S. intelligence community. Nor was this the only mistrust Kislyak cultivated: the conversations on the monitored phone led to the firing of National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, and conversations that Kislyak had with Attorney General Jeff Sessions led to Sessions's recusing himself from the Russian investigation, which has now driven a wedge between President Trump and one of his most effective and popular cabinet members.
  Kislyak's resume indicates that he is a well-regarded and competent player in the game of nations: he has served as Second Secretary of the Soviet UN mission in New York, First Secretary of the Soviet Embassy in Washington, Deputy Director of the Soviet Department of International Organizations in Moscow, Permanent Russian representative to NATO in Brussels, Deputy Foreign Minister, and Ambassador to the United States. Nothing in his 37-year career, either during or after the Cold War, suggests that his moves are not aligned with Kremlin strategy.
  But when it comes to the various disclosures and interventions surrounding the 2016 election, what exactly was that strategy?
  In a report issued on January 6, 2017, entitled "Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent U.S. Elections," the U.S. intelligence community concluded, based both on its sources and its analysis of stories on the Russian-controlled network RT, that Putin wanted to hurt Clinton, help Trump, and discredit the American election. These may well have been motives of the Russian president, but the narrowly focused assessment fails to explain, or even take into account, Kislyak's post-election ensnarement of Kushner, or the discrediting dirt against Trump. If Putin had really wanted to help Trump win the election, why did Russian sources provide damaging dirt to Steele, which could have cost Trump the election? Why did Kislyak provide the FBI with information, via a known tapped line, that could (and did) compromise key members of Trump's administration?
  A wider focus can be found, of all places, in Oliver Stone's revealing, if fawning, four-hour interview with Putin, in which the Russian dictator makes clear that he views American hegemony, including America's standing and respect in the international community, as a threat that Russia must counter. One way to undermine America's standing is to provide disclosures that can be used by its own political factions, and the media, to sow distrust in America's reliability as a democracy founded on transparency. Putin tells the truth when he says that it doesn't matter particularly to Russia whether Clinton or Trump won the election: his goal was to install doubt in the legitimacy of the process, regardless of how it turned out.
  Edward Jay Epstein's most recent book is How America Lost Its Secrets: Edward Snowden, the Man and the Theft, published by Alfred A. Knopf in January.

  Dear Jeff,

  As previously discussed between you and Ariane, Edmond de Rothschild is deeply involved in the building and financing of the infrastructure in Europe. Edmond de Rothschild has an outstanding track record, history and presence in European infrastructure, as well as being one of Europe's most recognized financial advisors to the infrastructure market. We have developed deep expertise in the infrastructure sector and sought secure, well-managed assets, generating stable, long-term returns for investors.

  We have done so by initiating and backing two experienced and highly-respected managers in the industry, TIIC and BRIDGE. TIIC is an equity investor in transport and social infrastructure. BRIDGE is an infrastructure debt provider. Both managers are covered in more detail below. Edmond de Rothschild has been heavily involved in the launch of the below funds, providing crucial support in fund structuring, due diligence, capital raising, legal & compliance functions as well as the sound governance and ESG management across all funds. Partnering with TIIC and BRIDGE has enabled Edmond de Rothschild to build a strong franchise within infrastructure investments, complementing its overall Private Equity offering. Edmond de Rothschild has also acted as anchor investor for these funds, demonstrating its strong alignment of interest with these investment teams. With Ariane we strongly believe that we should absolutely find a way to collaborate together with you to think and initiate something to serve the future needs of the US in the infrastructure field.

  Please find attached further information on each manager. This would also be a chance for us to explore opportunities of working together in the future.

  Please feel free to reach out to us if you require any further information. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

  TIIC
  TIIC Group backed by Edmond de Rothschild, is a pan-European infrastructure firm advising on mid-market infrastructure projects across Europe in both the transportation and social sectors. It was established in 2008 by the 3 founding partners of TIIC Group, Jaime d'Almeida, Manuel Cary and Francisco Mendes, with strategic support from the Edmond de Rothschild Group and Brisa.

  The aim of TIIC Group is to bring an operational approach to infrastructure investments in Europe, drawing upon the extensive management and financial skills of its team members. These skills have been developed over many years at some of Europe's leading infrastructure operators and project financing firms which, when combined with the very specific infrastructure expertise of both the Edmond de Rothschild Group and Brisa, makes for a powerful and differentiated investment platform.

  TIIC Group operates from two offices in Lisbon and Paris, providing its team with access to relevant investment opportunities across key target markets in Europe as well as to leading industrial contractors, operators, advisors and financiers in the infrastructure industry.

  TIIC Group successfully raised a First Fund with €140m of commitments targeting transportation investments across Europe. The portfolio of the First Fund comprises 6 assets located in Portugal, Spain, France and Poland. They represent a carefully balanced mix of greenfield and early stage brownfield projects in roads and car parks. TIIC Group has played an active role in the sourcing and development of all investments and has made a significant contribution to value creation. TIIC Group believes that this is a high quality, operationally secure, cash yielding portfolio of assets which will be of strong interest to potential investors over the coming few years.

  TIIC has launched a successor fund, TIIC 2, which will build upon TIIC Group's differentiated approach to infrastructure in Europe. TIIC 2 will is targeting aggregate commitments from investors of €300m (€350m hard cap) to invest into both transportation and social infrastructure projects in Europe. TIIC 2 will also seek to invest, on a very selective basis, into greenfield social infrastructure projects in New Frontier Markets, within close proximity to the European Union. Given its powerful network of relationships across Europe and the operational skills of its team, TIIC Group will continue to target superior investment returns for TIIC 2's portfolio of assets. These returns should be in line with the anticipated returns from the First Fund portfolio which is forecast to deliver a gross IRR of up to 14% and a multiple of approximately 2x on invested capital.

  TIIC announced the first close of TIIC 2 on December 30th 2016, with aggregate commitments of €135m from a group of high quality and well-diversified limited partners. First close investors in TIIC 2 include the European Investment Bank and Edmond de Rothschild, both with significant commitments, as well as the TIIC team. TIIC 2 is also supported by a number of existing investors, together with several European insurance companies, pension funds and family offices. A second close is planned in the coming months and the final close will occur before the end of 2017. We have received significant interest from a number of European institutional investors, many of which are in the process of completing detailed due diligence on TIIC 2. We are firmly on track to achieve a final close of TIIC 2 before the end of the year.

  Furthermore, TIIC has announced the first exit from Fund 1, with outstanding returns. Three other investments are in sales processes and should close during the next few months.

  BRIDGE
  BRIDGE is an infrastructure debt platform initiated by Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management (EdRAM) to enable institutional investors to access infrastructure assets with secured and stable revenue streams. BRIDGE is a London based second generation debt fund sourcing and structuring transactions directly from sponsors when feasible and one of the few independent debt teams only investing on behalf of clients. The BRIDGE team has the ability to execute and deliver transactions as efficiently as traditional lenders as well as negotiate terms and conditions bringing optimised yield and security to investors.

  The BRIDGE platform was set up as a new leg of EDR's Infrastructure, Real Assets & Structured Finance Team striving to take advantage of the expertise of the infrastructure sector acquired when the team became a global leader in PPP & Transport infrastructure financial advisory in 2011 and 2012.

  The BRIDGE platform raised € 400m of new monies in 2016 and has successfully reached the €1bn mark of Assets under Management at the end of 2016. The platform comprises three investment vehicles (French FCT and Lux SIF) and is currently fundraising for additional pockets of liquidity:

  o BRIDGE I reached final closing in December 2014 with approximately €600m of aggregate commitments from a club of institutional investors.
  o BRIDGE I Dedicated Compartmentis a vehicle created by a large European institution and anchor investor of the first fund with a €250m target amount available for deployment.
  o BRIDGE II reached first close in December 2016 with €150m of commitments in order to invest in three transactions. Fundraising for BRIDGE ll is still ongoing, targeting a group of institutional investors in Europe and elsewhere, with final target size of €600m.

  The BRIDGE platform has a long-term European investment strategy and a mandate to cover all sectors of infrastructure, notably energy, renewables, utilities, transportation, telecommunications and social infrastructure and can execute project financing, refinancing and acquisition finance transactions.

  The BRIDGE platform currently comprises investments of between €20420 million each, in 17 European infrastructure transactions. In 2016 alone, the BRIDGE team has achieved financial close for 11 infrastructure deals in Europe aggregating ca. €390m. When benchmarked against other similar funds, the investment team has succeeded in deploying faster and with credit spreads well above the infrastructure senior debt benchmark, enabling BRIDGE to become a force in the growing institutions-backed infrastructure debt market. BRIDGE's ability to invest beyond the traditional definition of core infrastructure and to structure transactions was a key differentiator when Edmond de Rothschild launched this platform, as part of its commitment to real economy. BRIDGE is innovative in the sense that the investment team sources transactions directly from sponsors and is actively involved in the structuring phase, acting as Mandated Lead Arranger.

  BRIDGE comprises a large, international and skilled London based investment team of 11 investment professionals who between them have arranged more than €100bn of landmark infrastructure deals over the last 20 years across the globe. The BRIDGE team is among the largest within the debt funds universe and demonstrates the Edmond de Rothschild Group's commitment to the platform.

  Kind regards,
  Johnny

  Bookstore owner calls police after customer

  confronted Steve Bannon
  By Morgan GstalterJuly 07, 2018 - 10:38 PM EDT

  x
  A Richmond, Va., bookstore owner said he called the police on Saturday after former White
  House chief strategist Stephen Bannon was confronted in his store.

  Nick Cooke, owner of Black Swan Books, told the Richmond Times-Dispatch that a woman
  called Bannon a “piece of trash.”

  The woman then left the store after Cooke said he called 911.

  “Steve Bannon was simply standing, looking at books, minding his own business. I asked
  her to leave, and she wouldn’t. And I said, ‘I’m going to call the police if you don’t,’ and I
  went to call the police and she left,” Cooke said. “And that’s the end of the story.”

  Bannon grew up in Richmond, the newspaper noted.

  The Richmond Police Department confirmed the call was made but the call was canceled
  before officers responded.

  “We are a bookshop. Bookshops are all about ideas and tolerating different opinions and not
  about verbally assaulting somebody, which is what was happening,” Cooke said.

  Jeffrey-

  I need to start off by stating that it is not my intent to go around Shawn Lancaster on this — Shawn is a friend.
  This being said, I have received e-mails from both you and Larry this weekend.

  I called Larry and he said I should send you an e-mail.

  I called a close friend of mine inquiring about the GV market and aircraft that are “not published”. As of today,
  there are eight (8) of these aircraft that are not yet on the market.

  Let me know if you would like to speak with him and by what means (you call him, he call you, call
  Larry?....whatever).

  By the way, his company sold Trumps 727 and got Trump a very attractive number for an aircraft that was on
  it's way to a museum.

  Hope all is well.
  Sincerely,

  Eric Roth
  President

  Warning: The Smart Money

  Is Fleeing U.S. Stocks

  BY BILL BONNER, CHAIRMAN, BONNER & PARTNERS

  == ree

  DUBLIN — The Dow dropped 180 points yesterday — or

  about 1%.

  And another clever billionaire says he is looking elsewhere

  for profits. Reuters:

  Activist investor Carl Icahn on Monday said there was a chance the stock
  market could suffer a big decline, saying valuations are rich and earnings at
  many companies are fueled more by low borrowing costs than management's

  efforts to boost results.

  "Iam very cautious on equities today. This market could easily have a big

  drop," Icahn said.

  Yes, dear reader, the smart money is getting out of U.S. stocks. And here’s our

  old friend Rob Marstrand explaining why:

  Right now, every measure that analyzes the S&P 500 says it’s expensive. Prices

  are high relative to earnings, net assets, sales, and cash flow.

  * Research on each of the 13 episodes is ongoing and we are moving towards creating a short list of the top
  contributors per episode (with some contributors in multiple episodes).

  * We are aggregating the top contributors around 4 to 5 central locations, such as SF Bay Area, LA, Chicago,
  Boston, New York, Santa Fe, London, Oxford, and Cambridge for the main shoots.

  * We are creating a short list of locations for the secondary shoot - i.e. the more observational shoots on
  specific labs and research facilities, such as the Music Lab at McGill, the Sleep Lab at Harvard.

  * We are planning a recce in the autumn to assess locations and meet some of the key contributors.

  In order to move forward

  I would ask that you realize that very unlike yours, My business is only comprised of my personal
  attention and my personal time . Time that I was forced to grossly overspend on your various issues
  last year. . As you are my very close friend I will not have you participate in a bidding process that I
  have decided 1 will have this year for my time . (hopefully a more fair way to allocate ) I would also
  ask that you keep in mind that though our deal expired months ago. (also keeping in mind , that your
  understanding of the final payment terms neither reflected the emails or my memory, we finished it up
  your way. ) I have answered every call Brad , joslin, Ada or you, have made . reviewed docs over and
  over/ until once again, I was forced to insert myself strongly as I thought it dangerous not to. I made
  serious dollar and time concessions last year.very serious I am wiling to continue to accommodate
  some of your concerns , but I am, under no circumstances , none, willing to spend my time for free.
  its not fair. After cleaning up Carlyn's mess , which was a few weeks and 30 million dollars . We
  were both highly aware of the dire circumstances in which you found yourself last year, and in fact due
  predominately to its seriousness. and those very circumstances I took extra care in our negotiations .
  (you had claimed I had you over a barrel , ( a horrible position to be in with my very close friend.),
  unfortunately I fear that if you are not cautious ,in the near future, another barrel will appear of your
  own design )

  I heard you when you said you believed 1 had already been paid for the work that is now required. The
  art partnership has fully answered all your concerns and discharged all my obligations and more so.
  . (FYI Carlyns art partnership that you referenced is similar in only its title.) You will also recall
  that you required that my payments be at the end of my work not at the beginning as everyone else's .(
  my work was never to include hours upon hours of training your staff). I eventually agreed, this of
  course should make clear that the 2014 tax year that will close Oct 2015 is not covered by our past
  agreement at all. I pointed this very fact out to you when I initially proposed a multi year agreement
  right out of the box. you said you preferred not. As you said ,I have produced results to date, far in
  excess of even my own exalted opinion of my projections. I have devoted a monumental amount of my
  limited amount of time-- way, way in excess of our agreement. I will be fair, I am willing to roll in
  the amount still outstanding from last year if that helps .. However, As my best student , and my only
  one, you are now capable of doing most, if not all, of the required work yourself. I can put my
  whiteboard away when you come to eat and just have fun, trade stories,. share moments ideas etc.. I
  am of course always available to guide you as a friend if you choose that route . always . It will take a
  great deal of your time , but you will not have to spend any more money on mine .

  We are scheduled to meet fri at 430 , I leave at 5 am sat morning.

  EUROPEAN MULTI ASSET COVERAGE MEETING IMPRESSIONS: Eyes on Real Money outflows; Christmas comes early for most of macro players, hedge funds. Absolute majority bet on HRC to win, but majority still made good money because Hillary bets worked as Trump trades. Wider, steeper core rates, stronger USD, weaker EM is the Rage. The last one, EM, is the big loser out of Trump Reflation Theme. DM over EM and divergence within DM are very much in vogue. All gains of EMBI since March are gone! For Rates & FX, it does feel like early days of Taper Tantrum trade of 3 years ago. Both dominated by US price action. In both, hedge funds have now caught the moves, play offense & ride the Trump narrative. Real Money is on the ropes, caught long Fixed Income/duration/carry and cannot play defense fearing Outflows. In Emerging Markets, most outflows are retail, ETF driven. All eyes on next leg of institutions. In equities, banks big winners; FANGs losing. I asked partners 2 questions. 1) Would the "this will be great for business, feel good factor" wave out-run "if real yields go up, equities are a sell" fear. Clients are torn, but the former, bullish camp wins for now, my colleagues suggest. There are skeptics though. 2) In Europe, do fears over Renzi losing & Le Pen winning climb over the big momentum behind banks etc. Again, my equity team suggests, "no, reflation wave may win over Italy referendum anxiety„ for now." Renzi is now widely expected to lose, so a "yes" would be the big surprise trade. And the bigger elephant in the room is Le Pen. If she wins in May, Europe as we know it may really shake.. But for now this is more in the radars of Euro & EBG traders. Core rates are driven by the speed of TY sell-off. And in G5 FX, the big driver is USD/JPY. The stronger "we should believe in Trump reflation narrative" winds are, the more USD/JPY buyers we see. Some in Research warn that Trump may succeed in "tax cuts, faster than any infrastructure spending," but few macro are in mood to listen. A few players believe, looking at trade weights of each with US and magnitude of sell-off, Asia FX may have more weakness to come than MXN. Will copper/infrastructure rally eventually help Chile? Most macro love NKY, willing to love it more. Bringing it home; fast macro money players are rushing to erase losses, year long pains through wider rates, longer USD, weaker EM, stronger equities. Real Money is in defensive, remembering Taper Tantrum days, fearing institutional outflows & forced selling of carry hope positions. Those who want to "fade" Trump rally, seek valuation in EM, believe core rates can tighten to get a breather are in Minority.

  Alex Acosta update
  Earlier this week, pedophile Jeffrey Epstein bought his way out of a lawsuit that would
  have given some of his victims the opportunity to testify about his predatory and criminal
  conduct. Victims never got that opportunity when Epstein faced criminal charges, because
  Alex Acosta---then the lead prosecutor, now the Secretary of Labor---let Epstein off with
  a ridiculously lenient sentence. Despite having committed hideous sex offenses with dozens
  of minors, Epstein received a sentence of 13 months in jail, during which he was often free
  during the day.

  Epstein's decision to buy his out of the civil lawsuit, one that he had the nerve to initiate,
  benefits Acosta. The trial would have provided non-stop headlines, coupled with frequent
  references to the sweetheart deal Acosta gave him. As Randy Schultz puts it, the trial would
  have been the occasion for a long overdue public shaming of Acosta. Now, he avoids this
  consequence.

  But this doesn't mean Acosta is out of the woods. He faces calls for his ouster from the
  Trump cabinet.

  Some calls are from the usual suspects. Michelle Goldberg of the New York Times has
  written a piece so obnoxious that it almost makes me want to see Acosta ride out the storm.
  But some conservatives are also advocating Acosta's departure. Concerned Women for
  America is a stalwart conservative organization. It describes itself, accurately, as "focus[ed]
  on seven core issues: the family, the sanctity of human life, religious liberty, education,
  sexual exploitation, national sovereignty, and support for Israel." (Emphasis added)
  Its leader, Penny Nance, has called for Acosta's resignation. Noting that labor trafficking,
  which the Labor Department combats, is often conjoined with sex trafficking, Nance says
  that President Trump would not have nominated Acosta if reports fully describing Acosta's
  conduct in the Epstein case had emerged earlier.

  Sen. Ben Sasse has also weighed in. He sent a letter to the Justice Department asking it to
  investigate its treatment of Epstein, including the fact that the plea deal ensured that victims
  of the pervert would be denied the ability to comment on or object to the leniency of his
  sentence. Sasse is chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Oversight,
  Agency Action, Federal Rights and Federal Courts.

  Sen. Marco Rubio, a longtime supporter of Acosta, says it would be "very troubling" if
  political influence led to a light sentence for Epstein. In Rubio's view, and that of every
  rational person, Epstein "should have been in jail for a long time." Rubio added, however,
  that he will reserve judgment until he hears Acosta's side.

  That's fair. But so far, Acosta has provided no real defense for letting Epstein off so lightly.
  In public, at least, he is standing by his argument that the deal was a reasonable one and that
  this is old news.

  Previously, Acosta had a different defense. He cited "a year-long assault on the prosecution
  and the prosecutors" by "an army of legal superstars" who represented Epstein. This
  allegedly included "defense counsel investigat[ing] individual prosecutors and their
  families, looking for personal peccadilloes that may provide a basis for disqualification." In
  this account, the deal was made to relieve the pressure, while still getting a conviction.

  Acosta could hardly assert this explanation----i.e., that he wimped out---while seeking a
  cabinet position with the expectation of being appointed to more exalted jobs in the future.
  Nor is the explanation particularly plausible. Acosta isn't the first prosecutor to face a
  scorched earth defense. Ask Ken Starr about this.

  I don't doubt that Acosta regarded escaping the wrath of the defense team as a benefit of
  reaching the plea deal. But I don't believe this was incentive enough to cause him, in effect,
  to throw the case.

  What was the true incentive? As I wrote when this story broke, I think it was the same
  incentive that explains much of his conduct in public life---Acosta's desire to
  accommodate people he thinks can help him down the road.

  Which people? Probably the lawyers at Kirkland and Ellis, where Acosta had once worked.
  Epstein enlisted Ken Starr* and Jay Lefkowitz, both of Kirkland, for his defense team.
  Acosta reportedly worked out the terms of his surrender with Lefkowitz, a former
  colleague, at a meeting in a location far away from the prosecutor's office.

  The location of the meeting is itself suspicious. Prosecutors and other law enforcement
  officials normally demand that those seeking a deal come to them.

  The fact that Acosta didn't is another sign---if one were needed---that this was a
  capitulation. It also casts further doubt on the claim that Acosta was capitulating for the
  purpose of sparing the folks who worked with him in the prosecutor's office.

  The key point, though, is that Ken Starr and Jay Lefkowitz were power players in
  Washington---men who might help Acosta down the road.

  Readers will be quite familiar with Starr's background. Lefkowitz was director of cabinet
  affairs and deputy executive secretary to the domestic policy council under President
  George H.W. Bush. Under President George W. Bush, Lefkowitz served as general counsel
  in the Office of Management and Budget and later as deputy director of domestic policy at
  the White House.

  Accommodating such influential figures must have seemed like a good career move.
  Having Starr and Lefkowitz on his side might help Acosta get a judgeship, a cabinet
  appointment, or a high-paying job back at Kirkland and Ellis.

  I'm speculating, of course. But my speculation finds support in Acosta's practice of
  accommodating the powerful.

  Much of that accommodation is of Democrats. Indeed, at the time Acosta was working in
  Miami as a U.S. Attorney, he had alienated some Republicans by such accommodation
  while at the Department of Justice. Some say he was on the verge of being fired when
  Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez parachuted him to Miami. The Epstein settlement was a
  way for Acosta to shore up his standing with some influential Republicans.

  Will Acosta be able to survive the current scandal? I don't have a clear sense about this yet.
  But President Trump, who isn't bashful about sacking cabinet members, may come to
  believe (if he doesn't now) that it's disadvantageous to have a cabinet member who sold out
  teenage victims of sexual abuse, especially when the sell-out benefited an ultra-wealthy
  serial offender.

  * Some on the left are trying to make something or the fact that Starr, who had investigated
  Bill Clinton in connection with sexual misconduct, later defended Epstein, a pervert. This is
  silly.

  In both instances, Starr was doing his job as a lawyer. Perverts are entitled to a defense and
  there is nothing hypocritical about investigating Bill Clinton's misconduct when that was
  Starr's job and later joining the team that was defending Jeffrey Epstein.

  Acosta, by contrast, was on the team seeking justice for Epstein and for his victims. He
  gave up this quest for reasons that can't be defended.

  Thank you Marty,

  The questions we wanted to reach out to Mr Epstein for comment are listed below. Feel free to contact me after reviewing. Kind regards - Matt

  A former employee has told us that Donald Trump attended Mr Epstein's Palm Beach estate on at least two occasions. Does Mr Epstein recall hosting Donald Trump at that residence?

  On one such occasion, it has been suggested to us that Mr Epstein and Donald Trump watched “young girls try on bikinis” while making comments on their bodies. Does Mr Epstein have any comment?

  How does Mr Epstein respond to claims that women - some under the legal age of sexual consent - were used as “sex slaves” at his properties?

  A former employee of Mr Epstein has alleged to us that Mr Epstein sexually assaulted her on numerous occasions. Does Mr Epstein have a comment?

  Did or does Mr Epstein have cameras inside rooms at his Palm Beach residence?

  Did Mr Epstein remove those cameras before police raided the property as part of the investigation into alleged crimes? Did Mr Epstein ever hand over any recordings from any cameras at his properties to the authorities as part of his non-prosecution agreement?

  Does Mr Epstein have in his possession any video recordings of Donald Trump taken from inside his Palm Beach estate or any other residence?

  Did Mr Epstein hold sex parties at his residences involving girls under the age of sexual consent? Was Donald Trump ever present at any of these parties?

  Has Mr Epstein upheld the conditions of his sentencing and registered as a sex offender in all jurisdictions in which he is due to do so?

  This being said, I have received e-mails from both you and Larry this weekend. 
  I called Larry and he said I should send you an e-mail. 
  I called a close friend of mine inquiring about the GV market and aircraft that are "not published". As of today, there are 
  eight (8) of these aircraft that are not yet on the market. 
  Let me know if you would like to speak with him and by what means (you call him, he call you, call Larry?....whatever). 
  By the way, his company sold Trumps 727 and got Trump a very attractive number for an aircraft that was on it's way to 
  a museum.

  1. What's been stimulating as a source of good questions for the "distributions in nature" issue?

  7. "Signal intelligence in biol. systems" seems to cover all of neurophysiology: Jonathan Victor, whom you met a few years ago in your office, is powerfully thoughtful on the issues of neural coding. Are there specific examples that have stimulated you to better questions or turned your thinking around?

  6. Are you aware of apps that purport to play music to enhance productivity and focus on tasks at hand? My buddy Reese Jones has backed that; he has a fascinating set of beliefs and projects around what may soon be understood as "consciousness hacking." He's on the board of Singularity University as one of the founders. (His father was a pioneer UCSF MD researcher of hallucinogens, I believe!)

  More to come in a day or so.

  Who said 'Give me Liberty , or give me Death'?"

  She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Little Hodiaki a bright foreign
  exchange student from Japan, who had his hand up:'Patrick Henry, 1775'
  she said.."Very good!"

  Who said, 'Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall
  not perish from the Earth?"

  Again, no response except from Little Hodiaki, ‘Abraham Lincoln, 1863'..

  "Excellent!', said the teacher continuing, ‘let's try one a bit More difficult…'

  Who said, 'Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country?'
  Once again, Hodiaki's was the only hand in the air and he said;'John F. Kennedy, 1961".

  The teacher snapped at the class, ‘Class, you should be ashamed of yourselves, Little Hodiaki isn't from this
  country and he knows more about our history than you do."

  She heard a loud whisper: fuck the Japs,'

  "Who said that? I want to know right now!' she angrily demanded.
  Little Hodiaki put his hand up, ‘General MacArthur, 1945.’

  At that point, a student in the back said, 'I'm gonna puke."

  The teacher glares around and asks, 'All right!!! Now who said that!?'

  March 8, 2011 
  Denis McDhimmi 
  White House National Security Adviser Speaks to Hamas-Linked Group 
  Bill Siegel  

  On March 6, in anticipation of Congressional hearings on domestic radicalization, Deputy National Security Adviser 
  Denis McDonough stated the following: 
  "President Obama recognizes that through our words and deeds we can either play into al Qaeda's narrative and 
  messaging or we can challenge it and thereby undermine it. We're determined to undermine it. For example, we 
  know there are many different reasons why individuals—from many different faiths—succumb to terrorist 
  ideologies. And there is no one easy profile of a terrorist. But based on extensive investigations, research and 
  profiles of the violent extremists we've captured or arrested, and who falsely claim to be fighting in the name of 
  Islam, we know that they all share one thing—they all believe that the United States is somehow at war with 
  Islam, and that this justifies violence against Americans. So we are actively and aggressively undermining that 
  ideology. We're exposing the lie that America and Islam are somehow in conflict. That is why President Obama 
  has stated time and again that the United States is not and never will be at war with Islam." 

  This statement encapsulates so much of what this writer has identified as the "Control Factor:" that function of 
  our minds which will distort our perceptions so as not to present ourselves with the ever so fearful reality that 
  confronts us under the banner of Islam today. That is, rather than to clearly see, focus upon, and set about to 
  create strategies to properly confront the threat which we currently face- a threat that by definition we do not 
  control and see little way over which to regain control- our minds essentially collude to reconstruct in a manner 
  which deludes us with the sense that we are in control. 

  1. The statement essentially reduces the threat we face to that of terrorism caused by al-Qaeda. By defining and 
  limiting the threat to a band of "radical extremists" who have distorted the doctrine of a great religion, we buy 
  into the sense that our military might and criminal detection methods will ultimately save the day. The fantasy is 
  that this is a problem that we can get our arms around because under our Constitutional principles, terrorism is a 
  violation that we are permitted to fight against. 

  Yet terrorism is only one of three levels upon which the threat is attacking us and al-Qaeda is only a piece of the 
  terrorism level. The second level, the "Civilization Jihad," a term used by the Muslim Brotherhood itself to 
  describe its long term effort to peaceably infiltrate American and Western society at all levels in order to bring it 
  down from the inside through the freedoms that Western Constitutions afford, is well at work and in process 
  today. This has also been called the "Stealth Jihad." 

  There is a third level, the "International Institutional Jihad," upon which organizations such as the UN, along with 
  its 57 Member State bloc the Organization of the Islamic Conference, work to push through those principles of 
  Sharia Law and Islamic doctrine which it Members can agree upon such as the 1990 Cairo Declaration of Human 
  Rights which is fully at odds with U.S. Constitutional tenets. Once these principles become international 
  standards, the institutions seek to push them into Western societies through treaties and trade deals over which 
  the Members have leverage. 

  McDonough's words, by limiting the threat to Al Qaeda, intentionally ignore the other levels of threat which, for 
  all intents and purposes can be even more dangerous because our Constitution does not afford us easy means to 
  combat. Nor does our desired general sense of morality. 

  2. By focusing on "reasons" for this terrorist piece of the pie, the Control Factor further sets out the narrative 
  that we can gain control over the problem. By looking for "root causes," we advance the notion that by 
  eliminating or reducing those elements we can eliminate the symptom-terrorism. This is part of a long-engaged 
  Leftist narrative that has been utilized across a vast array of social problems in order to gain control over funding 
  and policy. Now, it is being used to avoid seeing a problem clearly, much less addressing it intelligently. 

  It is this administration's (and also, unfortunately, many members of Bush's as well) distortion to frame terrorism 
  as a result of victimhood. That is, by establishing the root causes of terrorism as either a response to U.S. policy, 
  to economic conditions, to Israeli occupation, and so on, the Control Factor sells the buried wish that since we 
  cause the conditions, we can fix the symptom without the grueling costs of war and confrontation. When both 
  sides collude in this form of narrative, we allow it to continue and grow. Yet placing the cause of the problem 
  within ourselves is false and strips us of the proper incentive to stand up and fight against a threat that simply 
  seeks our destruction no matter what we do. 

  3. McDonough fights the enemy's battle for us in the simple phrase of those "who falsely claim to be fighting in 
  the name of Islam." Here, the Control Factor refuses to accept what the enemy has repeatedly made clear—there 
  is a Holy War between Islam and the Western world, it has been declared by a significant faction of Muslims and 
  agreed upon by many more either explicitly or through silence and omission, and the war is defined by the enemy 
  itself under the banner of Islam to seek the destruction of Western society as it is and to replace it with a Sharia 
  based global Islamic Ummah. This is what the enemy says itself. The Control Factor tells us that this can not be, 
  that Islam is a "peaceful" and "great" religion that has been "hijacked" by a few "crazies" and that most 
  Muslims worldwide are much like us peace loving Westerners who seek a world based on mutual tolerance. If 
  there is any "war," it emanates from those of us Westerners who are "racists," "bigots," or otherwise and fail to 
  acknowledge the realities of the Muslim peoples. The critical issue here is that the Control Factor, as expressed 
  through McDonough, takes full responsibility for defining Islam and identifying the enemy. The enemy, however, 
  defines itself and needs to identify itself both through its actions, its words, and importantly what it does not do 
  and say. 

  This "transfer of responsibility" from the enemy to ourselves that McDonough's words so freely take on is 
  symptomatic of the deep addictive style the West has adopted to avoid hard confrontation. Once again, the 
  Control Factor utilizes Western guilt to define the conflict as resulting from improper acts of its own. It then 
  seeks to redeem itself by accommodating the enemy. This shows up in America's dealings with Islam as well as 
  the "Israeli-Palestinian Conflict;" responsibility for the problem is transferred to the West or Israel in a grand 
  psychological effort to avoid facing the terrors and costs of hard confrontation, terror, or war. And in each 
  example, as with all psychological defenses, the defense creates the very conditions it seeks to avoid. Until the 
  West is fully able to place responsibility back upon the Islamic world for the actions it takes and omits to take, 
  the West will only dig itself deeper into a weaker position. Unfortunately, the game of guilt gives us no guidance 
  as to how it is to end; when enough has been repaid. Instead, it is geared to continue indefinitely. 

  4. McDonough's statement that the U.S. is not at war with Islam is a pleasant Control Factor fantasy but does 
  little to eliminate the fact that the enemy has declared it so. We can walk away and pretend there is no war, 
  follow the deceptive words of those in this country engaged in the Civilization Jihad who attack us for any 
  response to the war other than bending over backwards to accommodate Islam and tolerate that which does not 
  tolerate anything other than itself. Yet that path leads only to further the cause of the enemy. 

  5. Perhaps most telling of all of McDonough's statement is the word "never." To claim we will never be at war 
  with Islam regardless of what Islam or Muslims worldwide do to us is the height of Dhimmitude—a phrase coined 
  by Bat Yeor, an expert on Dhimmi behavior throughout Islamic history. In Islam, a Dhimmi is generally a Jew or 
  Christian (there are others) who has agreed to accept a lesser and humiliating status with duties including the 
  payment of a special tax, in exchange for life in an Islamic controlled land. It is a protection contract: you can 
  live as long as you abide by these conditions. In claiming that we could "never" be at war with Islam, McDonough 
  has staked out Dhimmi status for all non-Muslims in the U.S. and has put words to the famous act of Obama in 
  bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia. 

  By denying that we are at war with Islam, McDonough has admitted that those words have meaning, just that 
  they do not fit U.S. policy. By denying that the U.S. would ever be at war with Islam, McDonough has sent the 
  message of unconditional surrender in advance. This is pure Control Factor maneuvering and threatens our nation 
  worse than the underlying threat itself. Put simply, our Constitution does not afford us easy ways to combat the 
  threat we face- we can fight certain types of terrorism in certain (albeit still under great dispute) ways yet we 
  have no effective means to combat the Civilization Jihad and are fast losing leverage to resist the International 
  Institutional Jihad. Unless and until we all obtain better control over our Control Factors so that we can develop 
  sufficient acceptable means to fight on these levels, we are headed to self-destruction.

  re your comment on predicting Trump, there is HL Mencken's famous phrase: 
  "It is IMPOSSIBLE to underestimate the intelligence of the American people." 
  and then from Richard Hofstadter's 1964 book on Ant-intellectualism in American Life: 
  "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has 
  been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that 
  democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." 
  Only thing stupefying me about Trump so far is that all his EPA appointees come from the great wasteland called 
  Oklahoma—Inhofe et al, climate change deniers to the last, but climate change is inescapable and by going back to 
  our old way of doing things, it will merely come all the quicker

  We have not received a response from you. If you wish to respond, please do so as soon as possible and no later than 18:00 on Monday 2nd February 2015.

  Dear Mr Epstein,

  We are writing because a US media organisation, in concert with ourselves at the Guardian newspaper in London, is currently conducting a detailed survey of Swiss bank accounts, past and present.

  It is not illegal to have Swiss accounts. But as you may know, it is a topic of considerable public debate, and several governments have been investigating the owners of such accounts.

  There are a number of ways such accounts and also offshore trusts have been used to avoid inheritance tax, UK domestic tax, or tax imposed by other countries. Such accounts have also been used to launder money.

  We have seen records held in the US identifying you among those who have held accounts. These accounts contained assets of up to USD 3.5m, and include:

  1) You may therefore have been a person evading or avoiding tax, or laundering money.

  We will be particularly concerned with these questions:

  2) Why you had Swiss accounts.

  3) How much back tax you have settled with the tax authorities following their investigation of your affairs.

  Additionally, from public records and from material we have seen we note that:

  4) In 2008 you pleaded guilty to solicitation of prostitution and procuring minors for prostitution. You were sentenced to 18 months in prison.

  5) Your above accounts were also linked with Mr Leslie Wexner.

  6) You are known to be or have previously been closely associated with Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew and Kevin Spacey.

  7) You have made substantial contributions to the Clintons' philanthropic causes. Tax reform campaigners have previously been critical of those who engage in public life or the political process while avoiding or evading tax. Hilary Clinton herself, speaking in 2012, noted the importance of elites paying a substantial share of tax: "One of the issues that I have been preaching about around the world is collecting taxes in an equitable manner — especially from the elites in every country."

  It is intended shortly to publish the results of our survey in both the US and the UK.

  As responsible journalists acting in the public interest, we would first like to give you the opportunity to comment.

  If we do not hear from you by 18:00 on Monday 12th January 2015 (preferably by email to _________________, we shall proceed on the basis that you do not wish to comment on or amend our information.

  But we have approached you in a straightforward fashion and hope you will take this opportunity to respond if you wish. Your substantive responses to each of our numbered points will be carefully considered and published if appropriate.

  (For the avoidance of doubt, we do not normally regard any generalised assertion of "inaccuracies" as a substantive response; nor any generalised statement that the holders acted on advice. Neither will we regard as substantive any comment that only refers to the present state of affairs and not to the past.)

  We are, of course, happy to discuss directly any concerns you may have.

  We would be most grateful if you would acknowledge receipt of this letter. This will save us from chasing.

  Yours faithfully,

  David Pegg
  The Guardian

  Dear Packer Families,

  Like many of you, I am writing this message on very little sleep. Last night was like no other in our
  political memory, defying the predictions of the most erudite pundits and political
  prognosticators.

  Today, we are spending a great deal of time unpacking the election results with our students
  across the three divisions — during morning meeting and throughout the day in Lower School
  classrooms, in Middle School advisories, during Upper School Community time, as well as in
  many individual classroom conversations. I write to assure you that we will do our best to handle
  these discussions with balance, sensitivity, and fairness.

  Given that last week's mock election among Packer’s Upper School students showed that over
  80% favored Secretary Clinton, I don’t think it’s a huge leap to assume that there was more
  disappointment than joy in Packer households as results unfolded last night. At the same time,
  there are certainly Packer families who support Mr. Trump and are pleased with this outcome. As
  a school community, we have an obligation to recognize that there will be a broad array of feelings
  generated by the election results, and it is our responsibility as a school to make space for these
  feelings to be expressed thoughtfully and compassionately, as well as to model the tolerance and
  acceptance of difference that are among our core values. No doubt, we have our work cut out for
  us, but Iam confident in the good that we can do as a community.

  Donald Trump’s newly named chief strategist and senior counselor, Steve Bannon, laid out his global nationalist vision in unusually in-depth remarks delivered by Skype to a conference held inside the Vatican in the summer of 2014.

  Well before victories for Brexit and Trump seemed possible, Bannon declared there was a “global tea party movement” and praised European far-right parties like Great Britain’s UKIP and France’s National Front. Bannon also suggested that a racist element in far-right parties “all gets kind of washed out,” that the West was facing a “crisis of capitalism” after losing its “Judeo-Christian foundation,” and he blasted “crony capitalists” in Washington for failing to prosecute bank executives over the financial crisis.

  The remarks — beamed into a small conference room in a 15th-century marble palace in a secluded corner of the Vatican — were part of a 50-minute Q&A during a conference focused on poverty hosted by the Human Dignity Institute, which BuzzFeed News attended as part of its coverage of the rise of Europe’s religious right. The group was founded by Benjamin Harnwell, a longtime aide to Conservative member of the European Parliament Nirj Deva to promote a “Christian voice” in European politics. The group has ties to some of the most conservative factions inside the Catholic

  Church; Cardinal Raymond Burke, one of the most vocal critics of Pope Francis who was ousted from a senior Vatican position in 2014, 1s chair of the group’s advisory board.

  BuzzFeed News originally posted a transcript beginning 90 seconds into the then-

  Breitbart News chairman’s remarks because microphone placement made the opening

  Re item 6: You report on ASU’s response to item #6 , without including the fact that the University specifically stated there were never any allegations of sexual misconduct or harassment by me at the University, and the outside complaints were in fact related specifically to your item #6. Further you neglect to mention that this complaint was by an anonymous third party, not the individual who was allegedly harassed, who never lodged a complain, and that no specific evidence was provided of the alleged transgression. I was surprised and dismayed that both ASU and ANU launched investigations on the basis of this but was told by both Universities that because of my high profile even such unsubstantiated third party complaints at private events unrelated to the University would be investigated. The complaint was investigated throughly by both ASU and ANU and both came to the conclusion that it was not credible and no university policies had been violated. . In addition ANU’s investigation, which took a full month found significant inconsistencies in the allegation, suggesting distortion and fabrication, I will quote from the ANU report. The initial complaint, which in fact resulted in a temporary suspension by ANU outlined the claim you made in the words you quoted in your note to me, along with the statement made in the complaint that

  "It is the University’s understanding that a complaint was lodged directly to the conference organisers at the time of the incident."

  After the investigation, the final report absolved me of any wrongdoing, and indicated information inconsistent with the original claim and apparent later claims as follows:

  "The allegations were made by an observer to the incident.

  - The complaint did not identify, nor disclose the identity of the conference attendee who was allegedly touched in

  an unwelcome manner.

  - The conference attendee who took the ‘selfie’ photo did not lodge a formal complaint to the conference organisers
  at the time of the incident (November 2016).

  - The conference attendee who witnessed the incident, did not lodge a formal complaint to the conference organisers
  at the time of the incident (November 2016).

  The photo submitted as part of the complaint does not provide evidence of any physical contact.

  - The complainant alleged that a photo exists, showing your hand on the breast of the conference attendee who took
  the ‘selfie’ photo. This photo was not made available to the Australian National University, although it was requested
  in the course of the investigation."

  (And for the record | often put my hand up in front of a camera if there is a flash, as | specifically request selfies not to include flashes,
  so that | don’t end up with a series bright spots in front of my eyes for the next half hour)

  What makes this particular type of allegation so repugnant is that | get asked for literally thousands of selfies, and when people come
  up to me they are vulnerable, often shaking, and sometimes overly aggressive. | am particularly proud of the way | attempt to make all
  people feel at ease, and respected, rather than humiliated. Thus, this false claim strikes at the heart of what | am about, which is to
  acknowledge fans in a way that makes them feel appreciated. As | understand you had a reporter watching me sign books and take
  selfies at the CFl conference in Las Vegas this year, that behavior is what they will have witnessed. Moreover, | am proud of the
  interactions | have had at both Case and ASU, with students, colleagues and staff. | have had numerous female graduate students,
  postdocs, employees, and colleagues, and as ASU attested to you, none of these have ever complained of harassment. Quite the
  contrary in fact, as | have worked hard to support them, mentor them, and treat them with respect. | treat others as responsible adults,
  and | expect to be treated equally.

  Questions for Alan Dershowitz

  1. Have you ever met a young girl, under the age of 18, in the presence of Jeffrey Epstein or on one of Jeffrey Epstein’s properties?

  2. How many times have you visited Jeffrey Epstein’s mansion in West Palm Beach, Florida?

  3. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida reached a non-prosecution agreement with Jeffrey Epstein, in which he agreed to make civil restitution for sexual abuse committed against 40 girls at the mansion. Do you have any reason to doubt that that Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused 40 underaged girls.

  4. Didn't Jeffrey Epstein tell you that he repeatedly had sex with these underage girls?

  4. Jeffrey Epstein is a now a registered sex offender. Do you have any reason to doubt that this registration is appropriate?

  5. Have you ever met Ghislaine Maxwell in the presence of Jeffrey Epstein or at one of his properties?

  6. Did you send correspondence to the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. (or elsewhere) attacking the credibility of these 40 girls?

  7. According to testimony in court cases, when Jeffrey Epstein was at his mansion in West Palm Beach, Florida, he would receive almost daily “massages” that were in fact sexual encounters with these underage girls. Do you have any reason to doubt this testimony?

  Hi Jeffrey, 
  Just called, but not sure I have the right cell number for you. Thinking of you and hope life is treating you great! Any 
  news? 
  All good here in the District of Corruption — I'm lovin' Trump. He is turning this town on its head, and have to admit, I'm 
  enjoying watching the action (except for the shooting, of course, which was tragic). Especially interesting is watching 
  the Dems implode — I'm really shocked at how wrong they judged the public. Am having dinner tonight with one of the 
  Blue Dog Dems, and think they could maneuver to take over the party — Rep. Jim Costa is the defacto head — we'll 
  see. Have popcorn, sitting back and watching the show 0 
  Just got a big promotion to Manager of Senior Health, Virginia Hospital Center/Mayo Clinic. Am very excited, and love 
  the job — it is so rewarding. I spend most of my time giving lectures on neurodegenerative diseases, sleep, heart health 
  and strategies for longevity. And the rest of the time as liaison to State and local Department's of Aging, facilitator to 
  the Alzheimer and Dementia Caregiver Support Group and managing the assistive technology program. 
  If you hear of any special panels or commissions President Trump is forming, please keep me in mind. Sure the hospital 
  won't mind loaning me out, and pretty sure I'm one of a handful of Republican Gerontologists 0. 
  Let me know if you get to DC. Would LOVE to see you!!!

  The Mail website is read by 193 million | don't see how a statement denying the allegations will make matters worse which is the acid test. It will make your position better as you will astrong open denial on record. These allegations must not gain traction.

  According to Friday's NY Post Jeffrey Epstein returned to New York City "making wisecracks about his just-ended jail stint for having sex with an underage girl". "I'm not a sexual predator, I'm an 'offender,' " the Wall Street hedge fund manager told The Post. "It's the difference between a murderer and a person who steals a bagel," said Epstein.

  Well that's not exactly the correct analogy...

  Not only are Epstein's comments brazen, they are arrogant and self-implicating. By telling a reporter "I'm an offender", he seems to be admitting guilt.

  Which brings me to the big question of the day. Why did Cyrus R. Vance Jr., the Manhattan D.A., allow a Level 3 sex offender (the most dangerous kind) to reside -- even for ten minutes -- in a house that is right next to Central Park and a school? Isn't that unlawful given the housing guidelines for sex offenders?

  According to the NYPost, Epstein's Level 3 designation means that he is at "high risk" to repeat his offense and poses "a threat to public safety."

  When I rang Vance (twice) to discuss Epstein's residential guidelines he did not take my calls.

  According to a few of the attorneys who represented Epstein's victims in the civil cases, the financier never agreed to a psychological evaluation prior to or during his sentence, a requirement of all sexual predators.

  While Epstein's self-incriminating statements are published (this week he told the Post "the crime that was supposedly committed in Florida is not a crime in New York" -- an interesting choice of words -- he continues to mock the law that applies to all other sex offenders who are found guilty of the same crime.

  Epstein served 13 months in the West Palm Beach Stockade and 18 months under community control (a rather permissive version of house arrest), for 2 Counts of Solicitation of Prostitution with a Minor.

  In August of 2010, immediately following his release from "community control", Epstein returned to his $50 million East 71st Street town house given to him by his former client and long time friend Leslie Wexner.

  Just in the last few weeks he held a house warming dinner to celebrate his release from jail and reportedly invited television reporters Katie Couric, Charlie Rose, George Stephanopoulus and his close friend, HRH Prince Andrew, according to the NY Post.

  You would think these professional television reporters would have done their homework prior to accepting his invitation no matter how desperate they were to rub elbows with Prince Andrew.

  According to a 53-page sealed indictment Epstein was facing 10 years to life on multiple counts of statutory rape, and child sex trafficking.

  Court documents in that case claimed he routinely sought out girls as young as 14 and paid them $200 to $1,000 for sexually explicit massages in his homes in Palm Beach, Fla., and Manhattan.

  In the New York sex-offender database, Epstein isn't registered under a zip code rather a "name search" option that does not list his New York address.

  The reason for this is because Epstein's Upper East Side home is considered "temporary" and by NY state law, he is required to provide only his permanent address to the database.

  Epstein is currently listed under his Florida home even though he is no longer a Florida resident either (after his arrest he immediately became a US VI resident), but then again who's keeping count?

  Once again these are mere technicalities when it comes to Epstein's sexual predator case. The two most disturbing parts of this story are that this could easily happen again and that once again there will be no justice.

  Had Epstein been a caring benefactor contributing to society and these young girl's education and well being then the world would have judged him differently.

  What he has done instead is the exact opposite -- causing enormous damage to hundreds of underage girls who could have been sponsored towards a better education.

  With respect to Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance, I'm confused by his decision to allow this sexual predator to live at his Fifth Avenue house all this time (since August 2010), given his rather tough stance on gun control as witnessed by his testimony in Friday's NYPost when asked about a Florida driver cleared in a Manhattan weapon's charge, "guns brought illegally into New York City" he said, " for any reason violate well established state laws and are a threat to our public safety".

  Then wouldn't a registered sex offender living 500 feet from a park (Central Park where young girls congregate), and with resources to spare be an even more dangerous threat to society?

  Media Magic: How a Democrat Pedophile Became a "Trump Scandal'

  Strangely, the media have suddenly taken an intense interest in the case of pedophile and major Democratic donor Jeffrey Epstein.

  In 2005, the Palm Beach police were told by the mother of a young girl in West Palm Beach that her daughter had been brought to the Democratic donor's mansion and asked to have sex with him for money. This kicked off an intensive, one-year undercover investigation.

  The police sifted through Epstein's garbage and interviewed 17 witnesses, including the housemen, who told of sex toys and dildos left behind after the underage girls left. One of

  * 11 Places With a Worse Economy Than USA

  11 Places With a Worse Economy Than USA
  By Rick Newman — Fri Jul 10, 11:50 am ET

  When times are tough, one thing that tends to raise the spirits is knowing that somebody else has it worse. And as wretched as the
  U.S. economy seems, it's not as bad as in other regions.

  The International Monetary Fund's latest tally of world economic conditions forecasts a 2.6 decline in U.S. economic output for all of
  2009, and anemic growth of 0.8 percent in 2010. That's more optimistic than the IMF's prediction from three months ago, but those
  are still lousy numbers. A weak economy throughout 2010 would mean a bleak employment picture, an agonizingly slow housing
  recovery, and another year or two likely to feel like a recession, whether it's technically labeled that or not.
  We should count ourselves lucky, though. The IMF expects at least 11 major parts of the world to have more severe economic
  contractions than the United State this year, including most of western Europe, Japan, Russia, and Mexico. Europe will still be
  stumbling along behind the United States next year, as well. Here are the IMF's projections for economic growth in various parts of
  the world:

  2009. 2010
  China. 75. 85
  India. 54 65
  Middle East 2.0 3.7
  Africa. 1.8 4.7
  Brazil. -1.3 2.5
  World total -1.4 2.5
  Canada. -2.3 1.6
  US. -2.6 0.8
  France. -3.0 0.4
  Spain. -4.0 -0.8
  U.K. 4.2 0.2

  EU. -4.7 -0.1

  Hi Paul.

  Thanks so much for sharing both your note to Steven and your latest Manson essay with me. It’s always wild to read that piece. I have parts of it memorized at this point.

  After reading your comment about vibes from the movie, I feel like I have some explaining to do. This is all stream of consciousness writing so take it on merit, I guess. No harm is meant.

  As 'The Last of the Manson Girls' got closer to completion, I was insanely nervous about showing it to you. I knew it there was very little in it that was “Truth" in terms of minute details. What I did was take the broad strokes of your essay and make it into the “beats” of my story.

  For example, Sandy’s invitation to take a bath formed the spine of the “mermaid” scene. Squeaky’s line, “Manson never took anybody who wasn’t already discarded by the society" formed the spin of the animated fever dream where she talks about her father. The visit to Merrick was a good place to get into some of my views about conspiracy and the human mind’s ability to latch on to anything to avoid unpleasant facts. Squeaky’s line “Well what do you expect from me. I’m crazy” was obviously later then this meeting, but it was just too good a line to let go.

  I didn’t use elements of your essay that made actual filming and production tougher. For example, the interlude in your essay where you went to a home of friend of the family and smoked weed for example became “you" smoking weed at their pad.

  I added in beats, character traits and dialgoue that helped form that "dramatic arc" that works in movies so well. You and the Manson Women must have talked about far more than you mentioned in your essay, but I took liberties with what was said and how it was presented. Maybe I should have reached out to you about these conversations. I guess I was afraid of the Truth getting in the way of a good story.

  Bannon the European: He's opening the populist fort in Brussels
  The former Trump strategist arrives in Europe with "The Movement". Objective: an alliance between
  right-wing leaders, from Salvini to Orban in view of the 2019 elections
  NEW YORK. The invasion of Europe has begun. Steve Bannon, 65, the American far-right guru who was
  Donald Trump's right-hand man in the White House — but let go last summer following the racist
  violence in Charlottesville — is preparing to march on Brussels. Launching, he told the Daily Beast
  himself, a new non-profit foundation called The Movement, (II Movimento), right in the heart of Europe
  and its institutions. Through which he hopes to coordinate the populist right in view of the European
  elections which will be held in spring 2019.
  Objective: to compete with George Soros, the American billionaire of Hungarian origin, benefactor of the
  Democratic party, who since 1984 with his Open Society has spent at least $32 billion in support of
  NGOs dealing with human rights. And for this he became the bogeyman of the populist right, accused of
  plots of all kinds: including that of wanting to replace Italians with immigrants in order to have labour at
  low cost. A mantra repeated in the past on Twitter also by the current Minister of the Interior Matteo
  Salvini.
  The ambition of Steve Bannon, former director of the alt-right American site Breitbart — which in the
  European campaign preceded him since the platform had already opened bureaux in London and Rome
  — is therefore to become the coordinator of the one great "populist international" of which he has long
  since been dreaming.
  The Movement, in fact, intends to function as an extreme right-wing think tank: a source of strategic
  advice to channel the not-so-politically structured discontent of the most extreme European movements.
  Analysing data and giving strategic advice. But also by raising funds and channeling funding.
  The aim is to create a populist alliance, a sort of "super group" that if victorious can conquer up to a third
  of the European Parliament in the elections next May.
  Indeed — putting the common policy of the Old Continent in the hands of Bannon and his own. The
  American strategist is very attached to the Freedom Caucus — the extreme right of the US Congress —
  and in 2014 he was at the top of the Cambridge Analytica company, which in 2016 used data stolen from
  Facebook to try to influence the presidential election from which Donald Trump emerged victor. It is not
  a mystery that for a long time he courts nationalists of the right from East to West. And he has already
  met, among others, the Hungarian Orban, the French Marine Le Pen and the former leader of the British
  separatists Nigel Farage. The latter reappeared, coincidentally, on Friday in Pennsylvania, USA, to a
  fundraiser in favor of the Republican congressman Lou Barletta. Without forgetting the Italians of Lega
  and 5 stars. Of them, he said: "If it works in Italy, we can import the model anywhere".
  The Movement, which for now will count on a staff of 10 people, will be fully operational in 2019. In
  short, after the American midterm elections, where Bannon is fighting to influence the primaries
  supporting candidates potentially able to undermine the prospects of Republican establishment. But in the
  future the former spin doctor says he wants to spend more and more time in Europe. Also because the
  relationships with Trump have worsened after the revelations he made to Michael Wolff and published in
  the scandal book "Fire and Fury". "Better to reign in Hell than to serve in Paradise," Bannon says now
  paraphrasing the Satan of one of his favorite books, John Milton's Lost Paradise. Hell in this case would
  be the dear old Europe and its democratic values. The "army of darkness" is already among us.

  home mgmt.,vast multitude of Ilc's , including foreign, and with all that you only have a combined overhead
  of less that 3. million dollars.

  I have previously sent you the very same note that i have enclosed again below ,this time with highlights

  . I wrote it to you over a year ago. As my acute disability ( selective memory) seems to have been raised
  as one of your concerns , asarule I try to memorialize things in writing in an attempt to lay out issues that I

You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt. Of course, it is possible that, when asked, he'll say Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of political correctness, which is to be outlawed in a Trump regime.

  sell the book by this summer to a publisher and start reaping some money off it

  a friend at Cornell has now contacted me regarding a special senior fellowship they have and i remain hopeful
  that i will soon be relaxing with the famously beautiful women of Aarhus by late September

  on the downside, Jamaica is increasingly dangerous, murder rate climbing once again, about 6th highest in
  world

  and i encounter a lot of racism, especially from young thugs—not so much hostility as disrespect—they regard
  me as an easy target—that old white man nah know nothing, we can rob him or do as we please

  yesterday morning at 7am very hostile encounter at an ATM machine, no overt attempt to rob me or i would
  have shot him dead, just cursing me and my mother out because he had to wait an extra minute or two while i
  did my transaction—all my Jamaican male friends agree that he would not have acted that way toward a dark-

  skinned man

  makes me reluctant so spend so much time here or to continue to invest in my property

  i hope you are fine, the Trump bump in the market seems to have stalled and 1 would be curious what you
  thought of the market over the next three years—i will be forcibly retired July 1 but as long as 1 have
  ‘employment' (equals fellowships at the moment) for a couple of years i need not spend my retirement money
  which will be roughly $900,000; at most i might put 450 grand in an annuity and keep the rest invested

  all the best

  Bannon the European: He's opening the populist fort in Brussels
  The former Trump strategist arrives in Europe with "The Movement". Objective: an alliance between
  right-wing leaders, from Salvini to Orban in view of the 2019 elections
  NEW YORK. The invasion of Europe has begun. Steve Bannon, 65, the American far-right guru who
  was Donald Trump's right-hand man in the White House — but let go last summer following the
  racist violence in Charlottesville — is preparing to march on Brussels. Launching, he told the Daily
  Beast himself, a new non-profit foundation called The Movement, (II Movimento), right in the heart
  of Europe and its institutions. Through which he hopes to coordinate the populist right in view of the
  European elections which will be held in spring 2019.
  Objective: to compete with George Soros, the American billionaire of Hungarian origin, benefactor of
  the Democratic party, who since 1984 with his Open Society has spent at least $32 billion in support
  of NGOs dealing with human rights. And for this he became the bogeyman of the populist right,
  accused of plots of all kinds: including that of wanting to replace Italians with immigrants in order to
  have labour at low cost. A mantra repeated in the past on Twitter also by the current Minister of the
  Interior Matteo Salvini.
  The ambition of Steve Bannon, former director of the alt-right American site Breitbart — which in
  the European campaign preceded him since the platform had already opened bureaux in London and
  Rome — is therefore to become the coordinator of the one great "populist international" of which he
  has long since been dreaming.
  The Movement, in fact, intends to function as an extreme right-wing think tank: a source of strategic
  advice to channel the not-so-politically structured discontent of the most extreme European
  movements. Analysing data and giving strategic advice. But also by raising funds and channeling
  funding.
  The aim is to create a populist alliance, a sort of "super group" that if victorious can conquer up to a
  third of the European Parliament in the elections next May.
  Indeed — putting the common policy of the Old Continent in the hands of Bannon and his own. The
  American strategist is very attached to the Freedom Caucus — the extreme right of the US Congress
  — and in 2014 he was at the top of the Cambridge Analytica company, which in 2016 used data
  stolen from Facebook to try to influence the presidential election from which Donald Trump emerged
  victor. It is not a mystery that for a long time he courts nationalists of the right from East to West.
  And he has already met, among others, the Hungarian Orban, the French Marine Le Pen and the
  former leader of the British separatists Nigel Farage. The latter reappeared, coincidentally, on Friday
  in Pennsylvania, USA, to a fundraiser in favor of the Republican congressman Lou Barletta. Without
  forgetting the Italians of Lega and 5 stars. Of them, he said: "If it works in Italy, we can import the
  model anywhere".
  The Movement, which for now will count on a staff of 10 people, will be fully operational in 2019. In
  short, after the American midterm elections, where Bannon is fighting to influence the primaries
  supporting candidates potentially able to undermine the prospects of Republican establishment. But in
  the future the former spin doctor says he wants to spend more and more time in Europe. Also because
  the relationships with Trump have worsened after the revelations he made to Michael Wolff and
  published in the scandal book "Fire and Fury". "Better to reign in Hell than to serve in Paradise,"
  Bannon says now paraphrasing the Satan of one of his favorite books, John Milton's Lost Paradise.
  Hell in this case would be the dear old Europe and its democratic values. The "army of darkness" is
  already among us.

  Books and newspaper accounts of Trump's 45 years in business were full of his 
  shady dealings, and the presidency had only helped to highlight them and to surface even 
  juicier ones. Real estate was the world's favorite money laundering currency and Trump's 
  perceived A -level real estate business was quite explicitly designed to appeal to money 
  launderers. What's more, Trump's own financial woes, and desperate efforts to maintain 
  billionaire lifestyle, cache, and market viability, forced him into constant and unsubtle 
  schemes. Practically speaking, you couldn't miss him, as the Mueller investigation 
  appeared to be finding. 
  In November 2004, for instance, Jeffrey Epstein, the financier later caught in a scandal 
  involving under-age prostitutes, agreed to buy out of bankruptcy a house in Palm Beach, 
  Florida for $36 million—a house that had been on the market for two years. Epstein and 
  Trump had been close friends—playboys in arms, as it were—for more than a decade, 
  with Trump always hopeful that Epstein would provide some of his financial expertise to 
  enabvle h8im to survive. Trump was beholden to Deutsch Bank and was on the hook 
  personally for 40 million dollars. 
  Epstein took Trump to see the Palm Beach house to advise him on construction issues 
  involved with moving the swimming pool. As he prepared to finalize his deal for the 
  house, an incredulous Epstein saw a severely cash-constrained Trump bid $41 million for 
  the property, buying it through an entity named Trump Properties LLC, ultimate owner 
  unknown.. Trump, Epstein knew, had been in the buisness of leasing his name. Hotels are 
  actually owned by others but renting the trump name would cost a percent or two. , 
  Trump was willing to serve as a front man to disguise the actual ownership in a real estate 
  transaction. (This was, in effect, just another variation of Trump's basic business model of 
  licensing his name for commercial properties owned by someone else.) A furious Epstein 
  suspected that others actually owned the new house. then getting extensive scrutiny in 
  Florida papers. The disagreement re the purchase of the house became all the more bitter 
  when, two months later, the house was put on the market for $125 million. Well known to 
  Trump, who often visited with Epstein at his Palm Beach house, whose visits were 
  confirmed in depostions of Epsteins houseman. It appears that Epstein was visited almost 
  every day, by and had been for many years, by girls who he paid for massages with happy 
  endings—girls recruited, and who often returned to his house from the local massage 
   
  parlors strip clubs, and, also, Trump's Mar-a-Lago. Just as the threats and enmity of the 
  two friends increased over the house sale, Epstein found himself under investigation by 
  local Palm Beach police. Epstein's legal problems vastly escalated but the new Trump 
  property, with only minor improvements, was bought 3 years later in 08 , the time 
  Trump was facing his huge debt. for $96 million by Dmitry Rybolovlev. a Russain oligarch. 
  That is, Trump had either miraculously earned $55 million, without putting up a dime, or 
  Rybolovlev, or someone such as Rybolovlev, paid Trump Properties, LLC—actual owner 
  unknown—$96 million, thereby providing a clean payment of $55 million to 
  someone. This at the very same time that trump was into Deutsch bank for over 600 
  million dollars but with a 40 millino personal guarnatee .Rybolovlev might have, in effect, 
  paid himself for the house, thereby cleansing the money. Epstein, on his part, would be 
  senetenced to 30 months, 12 of those months in jail on a prostitution charge. 
  After the election, when Bannon was introduced to Epstein, Bannon told him, "You were 
  the one person I was truly afraid of coming forward during the campaign." 
  "not surprising" said Epstein.

  the more radical idea is that brains are the nucleus of the human cell: the body the membrane. the organism the collections and interactions of brains. wisdom of crowds. mirroring. etc. money used as signals. as is spoken language. what does social behavior mean, it is the coordination of indiv brains.

  I think that mathematics based thinking does not allow for censorship. money people concepts if they are all math, then political correctness and their structures are only subsets of a larger group of thoughts. its not emotional for me.

  Some thoughts I meant to send back for a long time:

  no worry, if I understand correctly you are suggesting there are layers 1 through N. lets call them L1 - Ln. there are times T1-Tn and then conjecture that changing the time correlations (by genetic switch or other method), you might be able to make blacks smarter by changing the time for motor layer development and changing the time for other layers. like telomeres for the cell, are their equivalents for the layers. as you talked about culling the unused neurons in each layer, each neuron in each layer would get different (kill yourself if you are not being used instructions).

  Exactly. I looked up the statistics, black kids in the US have slower cognitive development (and never catch up), which the study of course attributed to social factors without any evidence, and they had faster motor development! I suspect this means their brains are slower at learning high-level concepts, because the low-level structures are optimized for a shorter time. But they will keep the lead in motor development, because it is easier to learn, and they have more time and attention to practice once they get the structures in place.

  It could also be that they have an additional set of learning directives in place that adapts them better to a more hunting/running style of life, whereas the Europeans had to adapt for identifying long-term seasonal patterns, delayed gratification for agriculture etc.

  and CONCEPTS could be layer to layer communication. are gender differences also a matter of time, and structure of interactions.

  I suspect gender differences are mostly motivational, i.e. we have a reward system for all the different social and cognitive needs, which makes us receive different kinds of pleasure and pain, thereby pay attention and learn. You cannot learn what does not attract your attention. Women tend to find abstract systems, conflicts and mechanisms intrinsically boring. Most women in computer science do not write programs because they enjoy solving puzzles, but because they want to help people, get approval etc. There are almost no women in math, because it does not help people or yield social attention.

  Leon, Congragulations on biting the bullet. at least 18 months late , but I m encouraged and glad for
  you. When you interviewed Brad two years ago you asked that i not tell him what a disaster lay before
  him. what would you like me to tell Barry?

  There is a HUGE amount of work to be done in the next 9 -12 months. mostly the exact same work
  that i outlined in my email of 2 years ago. now complicated by years of mess on top. ( you can send it
  again if you like ). Brad wechsler was never up to the task . sorry, I realize I have been saying the very
  same thing for a long time. he was a not a step up from Eileen but a step sideways. in the beginning
  there was Eileen and Tom and Ralph Lerner. all your hand picks. then brad. john, Joe. . joslin was
  chosen from a pool of 2 people. each that would be limited by a salary of 250k. ( yes 1 personally
  augmented his comp in order to get him ) I did say hire both Lisa to do the bookkeeping and joslin tax,

  He complained for over a year , re his direction by eileen and ada , and then brad. His breakdown was
  not a surprise after months and moths of warnings. Though disabled, he ran your office this year. with
  john and joe. He ran amok, and as i told you he rarely failed to remind me in our conversations that you
  told him that he works for you and not for me and that brad needs to pays him .

  . Asking me who to hire , estate attny tax people etc. :

  I have taken heat for years over the fact that i gave you no more than carlyns name, . no follow up
  questions no interactions , not even one single question asked of me re her work. (that was Eileen _)
  but somehow carlyns fuck up was my doing. . _ when 1 told you that i thought Eileen wasn't up to the
  task, you bellowed that i was talking out of both sides of my mouth. . You told me this year , that by
  trying to protect you from crazy joslin, I had in essence fired him and it was my responsibility to do his
  work. it then turns out that he didn't consider himself fired at all he just received less money. and
  continued to make a really dangerous mess.. Joshn castrucci, in your eyes , was also my doing , though
  email after email said , I take no responsibility for him,and 1YOU SHOULD NOT HIRE HIM |!!! , your
  response was that was my opinion was only because i didn't trust him. then to add insult to injury last jan
  you told me he was gone. however he too is still there, and a waste of money and space.

  My time is complicated by Donald's potentially eviscerating any reason for anyone to use the

  Just got off the phone with Vinit.
  DB stopped marketmaking OTC oil options - for short dated I'd go for exch traded - better liquidity and lower transaction costs in and
  out.

  My central scenario - Kerry Lavrov meeting Friday will be a bust and the Crimea referendum this weekend will result in "yes" given
  the 59pct ethic Russian makeup. Sunday/ Monday sanction rhetoric from ranging from g8 expulsion to Iran-style bank embargo is
  raised a notch. Russia follows with more threats of counter-sanctions. My sense is the Obama 5m of 696m SPR release is to show
  Merkel and co he will step in. He needs to because there are 8 small European and Baltic countries that rec 70%+ of their gas from
  Russia. Germany gets 30%.

  Cross asset correlations outside of the US are increasing past few days - eg copper and the Turkish lira hourly charts are on top of each
  other past 4 days. I'm worried there is a 30-40pct(?) chance of a hard risk off move in markets in first half of next week - more focused
  on European equities, copper, EM FX (Turkey, ZAR, Ruble etc) than SPX. In that scenario oil is way up.

  Exchange WTI calls - there are 2 options (as of 3pm est):

  5day expiry 17march 2014 underlying clj4 97.92

  and

  35d expiry 16april2014 underlying clk4 97.59

  ** The 5 day options are a bit short - one possibility is sell a 3usd out of the money put (95.5 strike) for 20cents and buy a 2usd OTM
  100 call for 25. Net pay 5cents. But 5d is a bit short for me.

  **For 35d expiry You could look at selling 91.50 (6usd OTM put) for 56cents and buying 103c (5.5usd OTM) for 58cents or the 102c
  (4.5usd OTM) for 76cents.

  We will of course do this in whatever sequence makes sense for you. It goes without saying that any move
  would need to make economic sense. My assumption has been that your comp would fall outside of our "bell
  curve", but that is not an issue for us as long as the potential contribution also falls outside. You would not be
  the only partner outside the curve, and I am comfortable with expanding that group for people who can
  genuinely move the needle while embracing the culture that makes us who we are.

  One benefit of having Michael in the mix is that he can provide a global perspective, and he would be
  important for explaining the case outside the US if we moved forward.

  Just let me know when and how you want to speak next.

  unwound , even the substitution of Barry for your next trustee, needs a careful focus on procedure.s It would be much preferable if Wechsler was not his replacement. do you have any person you trust ??! . I am concerned re brad taking barrys place re XXXX. In the beginning Barry will need to find and learn ACCURATE . org charts. books , balance sheets . trust valuations. are all a part. Barry will need 2 months to just get his arm around what is there , this is before any needed modifications.,

  a way overdue re- fresh of your estate plan. . clats , trust. partnerships. grats. Ilcs. bank accounts , filing requirements. etc. the long awaited review of the brh tra and shareholders agreement to see how they fit into new plan. . "XXXXX" planning. art partnership engagement .. , airplane re-do. , buying another. .? boat sale , Miami sale. . TRADING ACCOUNTS. . three years overdue. . an accounting system. fire john .. joslin stays for a year. or so. so does tom and . except for heather everyone should be replaced withnew. . Sell Artspace and shut down regan arts. . rationalize. cash flow reporting. cash mgmt. stock sales. sec irs. gaming. foreign reporting. the 8865 mess will take months to review now. . you CANNOT file unreviewed audited documents. .CANNOT!!! | this will be very detailed work. . a self inflicted wound - all avoidable if professionals had been in place to limit . or contain it. . . you will need 3 new hires .as there is no one in your office that is truly an A player. I have great hope in Barry as you know. He will need to be trained. note

  ; One year is my guesstimate After 4 years of telling you , that you could do better than Halperin, : im glad that you now are willing to follow barrys advice . I take no offense , in fact I take comfort in the fact that after only one conversation with Barry you are now convinced to make that change . will take a year or more.

  I expect as a friend you will understand that

  I will no longer , not even for one day , work on your affairs . without the compensation that is long overdue. . your unilateral idea of after care , not imposed on any other professional , except me, not paul weiss ,( caesars alone , a direct screw up on their part ) tom, akin, ,no one. needs toend.. you and I had previously agreed no more of that , and this after you decided not to pay me per our agreement. to be fair I can not say im surprised as you have email after email , stating that , if you save a great deal of money, you wont want to pay , so limit it to 40m per year. - water under the bridge

  If I can find the time to work , on your project , which is not by any means certain as I have said, I hope you understand that it now will have to be under my standard terms and conditions. and well documented so as to avoid any more of the he said she said. I never want to have any more uncomfortable money moments with you , I find it very distasteful. . so to be clear , my terms are as follows. I will only work for the usual 40 million per year. It needs to be paid, 25 million upon signing an agreement . 5 million every 2 months thereafter for 6 months ie march may june . this can begin if i am able in January. I will immediately stop work , if the payment is not received. If you want me to work this year until Jan 15, it will be 10 million. paid upfront. after one year you will be left with a new estate plan a running office. staffed with professionals overseen by Barry. (hallelujah ) a tax plan . and an investment that returns more than any painting you could possible own. _. no agreement - no work. however - I of course will talk to Barry for the hour that i promised , and take your guidance as to what I should say.

  sent to you JAN 29th 2016

  you've agreed that Your office is a multi billion dollar responsibility. your children will inherit it , in order to oversee their financial lives- I feel for you, truly ,but the facts are the facts, your ceo ( Brad) has provided one bad

  Coming from an international background, and having lived in Oslo, Tel Aviv, New York and London by the age of eighteen, I believe that the international profile of NYU will provide the best environment for my college education, with the added benefit of returning to the place where I've spent most of my childhood and where my mother will be posted as Norwegian Ambassador to the UN in January 2019.

  NYU's Art History department appeals to me because of its wide range of courses, from the global art of antiquity to the contemporary. My passion is the Italian Renaissance and the rich history behind it, especially the works of 15th century masters such as Masaccio and Bellini. Some of the courses that NYU offers such as "Early masters of Italian Renaissance painting" and "Florentine Villas: An Interpretation Based on Historical, Social Factors" are, therefore appealing to me. What I find exciting, is not only the visual aesthetics and analysis of these masterpieces, but also the manner in which the Renaissance emphasised scientific and economic innovation, areas of study the Global Liberal Arts programme would offer. NYU's unique campus in Florence would give me a once in lifetime opportunity to spend a year immersing myself in the art, culture and history of Italy. This would be an exciting experience to have while studying for a Bachelor's degree in Art History, and would compliment my main interests in the subject.

  As one of the prime cultural centres in the world, NYU's location in NYC ts the perfect place to broaden knowledge within contemporary art. Iam very much looking forward to visiting the Whitney Biennia this May. In addition the New museum, which shows a lot of the kind of work I find interesting is a short walk away from campus.

  Taking advantage of being based in central London for the past year, I have completed the Chairman's Programme at Christies, work experience at the Courtauld Gallery and I will be working at Maddox Gallery in the near future. Similarly, I want to take advantage of being based in NYC to gain as much experience as possible. I have chosen to apply Early Decision to NYU as it is the only American university I will be applying to, as there is no better place to obtain experience of the contemporary art world than New York City.

  Essay 2.

  From the age of extremes to the age of bewilderment

  What captivates me more than anything else is the different ideological phases of the 20th century and how art can be used as a tool of advancement and reflection on ideological and political developments.

  My fascination began when I read; Eric Hobsbawm's "Age Of Extremes" and has since developed through books such as Benjamin Carter Hett's "The Death Of Democracy" and Yuval Harari "A Brief History Of Tomorrow" and "21 Lessons For The 21st Century".

  I spoke to my FAA in Orlando, it will take the buyer 6 months to obtain a FAR125 certificate if we do not include ours,
  Darren and Rich are working on possibility of including JEGE, INC with sale of Boeing, this will be valuable to buyer and
  prove to be beneficial monetarily to you if we can include the company name in the sale. FAA informs me its taken

  under into consideration on a case by case basis if they will approve another buyer to operate my FAR125 certificate. My
  FAA inspector did mention that Trump did the same deal when he purchased his B757, it included the manuals and
  company.

  Jeffrey,

  I spoke to Gary and he agrees to make a counter offer, do you agree with the following:

  -Counter the offer at $2.750M

  -deal to include my FAR125 certificate, along with the company name: JEGE, Inc. this provides the buyer with ease of
  transition and keeps the B727 on its current FAR125, tremendous value to buyer,.

  -Buyer understands purchase is "As Is" but has the opportunity to visually inspect the aircraft in Palm Bch along with my
  records.

  -closing to be on December 30th 2013.

  -Buyer will pay round trip repositioning expense Brunswick GA to Palm Beach and return to Brunswick if buyer declines
  the aircraft (fuel cost round trip $14,930.00).

  -Seller will deduct the reposition expense if buyer proceeds with purchase. (fuel expense to fly B727 to Palm Beach is
  $7,465.00).

  is this approved?

  thank you,
  Larry

  THE LAST LAUGH 
  Sarah Silverman on Al 
  Franken, Louis C.K., Losing 
  Her Hulu Show and More 
  In the premiere episode of 'The Last Laugh' podcast, Sarah Silverman speaks out for the first 
  time about her Hulu show's cancelation and goes to bat for her friend Al Franken.

  Wearing a rainbow-striped hoodie and a "Beer Nuts" baseball cap, Sarah Silverman strode into our 
  Burbank recording studio ready to talk. 
  It had been just a few weeks since Hulu had unceremoniously canceled her weekly show I Love You,  
  America and the comedian's emotions were still a bit raw. But her unflappable sense of humor was 
  fully intact as she recounted to me how she found out the bad news and ended up revealing more than 
  ever before about how the streaming service treated her over the past year. 
  During our long conversation for the first-ever episode of my new podcast The Last Laugh, Silverman 
  also spoke frankly about what it has been like to see her friend Al Franken accused of alleged sexual  
  misconduct and attempted to clarify the controversial comments she made to Howard Stern about 
  Louis C.K. She reflected on some of her most iconic roles and looked ahead to what comes next. 
  Highlights from the interview are below and you can listen to the whole thing right now by subscribing 
  to The Last Laugh on Apple Podcasts, the Himalaya app or wherever you listen to podcasts. 
  On the 'heartbreaking' cancelation of I Love You, America 
  "It came as a surprise. We were so sure we were getting picked up. We're all super bummed about it. I 
  know that they did love the show, but I think what it cost compared to its popularity or the eyes that 
  they had on it didn't___you know, the people that make the decisions there don't have any connection to 
  the show. And it is just so heartbreaking because I kind offeel cut off at the knees." 
  On the 'bullshit' allegations against Al Franken 
  "I can only just be honest and say, if I didn't know Al Franken, I'd probably be like yeah, go girl, me 
  too, fuck that shit. Because I do know him, I don't feel that way. So maybe I'm too close to it and just 
  seeing the dots not the big picture. But I just can't believe it. The U.S.O. thing is bullshit and if you 
  watch the sketch they did, give me a fucking break. He may be guilty of doing pedestrian comedy, I 
  guess, but he apologized and she accepted his apology. But it does seem that the Republican Party 
  and I don't think this is something to emulate at all___doesn't apologize, denies everything, admits 
  nothing and everyone keeps their job. And I hate that that's what we teach our children. But if you 
  apologize and say, 'I want there to be an ethics investigation on me and I want to do everything by the 
  book, this is my truth but I'm open to [the fact] that these women felt this way, I want to make this 
  right,' I don't know why that person then loses their job."
  On looking like an 'asshole' after commenting on Louis C.K. 
  "My experience with Louis as a teenager perhaps informs his pathology a bit. But in no way is it 
  analogous to crimes, to assaults, he subsequently committed that mirror it, that come from it. I was just 
  speaking about my own experience. And the headline was, 'He jerked off in front of me and I didn't 
  care.' And that's so cold and insulting and awful to the women who were hurt by his actions. So if you 
  clicked on it, they quoted me. But if you didn't, and nobody does, it just makes me look like an asshole. 
  And me looking like an asshole is the least of it. It hurt people and there was stuff that I said that I 
  don't think I was articulating the spirit of what I meant."
  On performing stand-up about being single without sounding 
  'hacky' 
  "It's such an '80s comedienne premise, but then it was also my truth so I was trying to reconcile with 
  it. It's hard to not be meta about it, because just to say 'I'm single' on stage. There's something that 
  feels so inherently hacky about it that I feel like I have these guilt pangs and then it just becomes a 
  whole other bit. It's always weird to navigate. I've always been in relationships for big chunks of time 
  and every time I come out I'm like a generation older and I don't know what my station is."
  Next week on The Last Laugh podcast: Arrested Development and Veep star Tony Hale.

  Out of 13 states we got 11 right. The ones we got wrong are NY and WI.

  In the last report, analyzed data was of 3 days in which Clinton got a positive spike after she got clearance from FBI. However Trump dominated the social media positively if we analyze one week data before starting time of election, monthly data and entire data which we have gathered for months. Based on this we predicted on our Facebook page on 30th October that Trump will be next president of US.

  Our model works but I think the important question which we failed to answer is that how much historic data must be analyzed to make the right decision. This could have been answered if we had a Data Scientist. Also I believe its a great tool to track voters and get them to vote. It can be used in French elections next year or elections of Brazil in 2018 but unfortunately I have to shut down this project as getting data from Twitter is expensive and the start up is running out of money.

  I am going to focus on cyber security again and will definitely reach out if I have a powerful investable idea.

  A few things to think about:

  If the Patterson book is being published in August, that presents some time frame issues. You would not be able to do a competing book or documentary before then. This is not to say that they shouldn't be pursued. In a sense, better that they know what Patterson's position is and, a year from now say, be able to counter it. I have some thoughts on book and doc to share at your convenience.

  That being said, you do need an immediate counter narrative to the book. I believe Trump offers an ideal opportunity. It's a chance to make the story about something other than you, while, at the same time, letting you frame your own story. Also, becoming an anti-Trump voice gives you a certain political cover which you decidedly don't have now. Still, this necessary involves you going public. And so the most basic decision is about your willingness to do that. My view is that in a couple of weeks you could master message and technical proficiency. I know a bunch of people who could be very helpful here. This would involve something along the lines of you writing an op-ed, doing a high profile television interview (Charlie Rose, I'd say), and perhaps some social media efforts.

  Speaking of which, again, I think a strategic plan, involving your public identity, philanthropic activities and interests, and the development of media allies, ought finally to be put in place. A big, comprehensive, expensive effort.

  The alternative is to continue to keep head down and hope Patterson book is just more he-said she-said and Connolly getting lost in the reeds (which, as an inveterate conspiracist, he always does). My worry is that Patterson can be counted on to produce a bestseller, and while he isn't regarded as a serious writer, he'll surely be unloading a lot of tabloid copy. Because this will be tied to the election, the Trump-Clinton angle will amp up the attention 10-fold, in fact, possibly, a hundred fold. Possibly more than anything you've encountered before.

  It was not easy as people from LifeBall are very difficult. But I got it (they even now approved you - they needed to do a background check believe it or not! — as on that dinner will be president of Austria, Clinton etc) for two tickets — for you and your guest for a price that you do not need to buy a table (as they do not sell individual seats).

  Guy below is a good friend and he is a CEO of amFAR (amFAR has a joined dinner) — so he helped.

  The nice thing about these tickets is that they are the most VIP. It includes reception, dinner, gala and after all party access.

  I have the same ones (through Bill).

  I also got two additional for you but it turns out that they are not the same level so I reached to Kevin for help.

  The price is 2,500Euro per ticket (this is very reduced price as I think the regular one for this is 15K and it is hard to get it). They will need an email from someone from your office and name a your guest asap.
  The plan for for Vienna I am sending you with my next email!

  Jeffrey, 

  The hots did the sweep. Here are the new results taken as of a minute ago. You have only one negative article 
  left on front page of google, which is the Huffington Post article. The Huffington Post is extremely hard to 
  move, because it is so powerful, has millions of links to it, and uploads massive new and original content it on 
  a daily basis with posting from out side readers. We managed to push it down the page, as it used to be at the 
  top. If we were able to post original content to both the science and the org site (absolutely not a single word to 
  this day by Jessica, just talk), we would have been able to push it down even further, and off the page. WE did 
  manage to get rid of the daily beast article, which is now far removed, inspite of their own efforts to keep it 
  prominent. 

  Toxic suggested search engine terms that popped up automatically when you typed in your name are also now 
  removed. 

  Wikipedia was an important victory, as it will always be at the top of the search engine results. ow the head 
  lines do not mention convicted sex offender or pedophile. Instead, Philanthrophic work, Epstein Foundation, 
  Promotion of Scientists. We have stopped the hacking on your wiki site, and that was a major effor. Your wiki 
  entry now is pretty tame, and bad stuff has been muted, bowlerized, and pused to the bottom. Careful editing 
  and wording has muted the effect immensely. We hacked the site to replace the mug shot and caption, and now 
  has an entirely different photo and caption. This was a big success. 

  We pushed the Edge all the way up to the front page, where it was previously buried on page 5 of google 
  search. 

  We have promoted the other jeffrey epsteins, and other pages are also filled with your material. 

  And, while the sites are up, and in the direction we hoped, they are still new, and subject to volitility, 
  especially if new original content is not added on a minimum of a weekly basis. I have been forbideen to add 
  new content to the philanthrophic site as well as the science site, and therefore, as a result our rating slipped 
  down (still on the first page, but would have liked them (and some of the articles to been able to push 
  Huffington off page). We also helped with you images, and the first images that come of you on a google 
  search are not of your mug shot, etc. 

  Your daily beast foe is still at it, and trying to promote her sites against you in the same way that we try to 
  depromote you. 

  As far as this site is concerned, and the continuation of this, I do not know what you wish to do. Clearly, you 
  have no interest in my continuing. And, I am not sure if you want to continue the project at all. If the latter, and 
  you stop, eventually it will just go into the way of entropy, and it will return to the old form. The major work 
  has been done, but it needs to be maintained. For it to get better results, it needs to have constant input and 
  supervision, and that means generating proper content, not just editing and grammatical fixes. Writers need to 
  know what to write. THe philanthrophy site is at the bottom of the page precisely because you have not 
  allowed us to add any content to it, and as a result it suffers. 

  You paid Mike $2500, which he applied for the purchasing of his replacement servers, but his fee of $7500 
  balance is now due if you want to continue. Please let me know what you want to do. I need to inform him, and 
  if you are not going to use him, he needs to take on his other clients and devote his time there. 

  This needs to be contrasted with what we started with, which was a search on your name, which had nine/10 
  very toxic prominent stories, and toxic Wiki article and headline.

  Dear Jeffrey,

  My name is Leah Reis-Dennis, and I'll be heading operations for Lisa's new non-profit, Verse Video Education.
  She's asked me to be in touch with you about helping us get a release from Woody Allen.

  First, I wanted to send along the rough stringout of footage from the conversation with Woody a couple of years
  ago on "This is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams. This is totally unedited and uncut footage, but we

  would love the opportunity to turn it into something great.
  https://www.dropbox.com/sh/c0bn1jjxeo0654g/uWZ6KBVbLS?preview=WoodyAllen+Basict+Clipt+fort+Viewing.mov

  If Woody Allen agrees to let us use the footage, he will be in distinguished company. To date, we have filmed
  conversations about poetry with dozens of distinguished Americans including:

  Bill Clinton

  Al Gore

  John McCain

  Mayor Rahm Emanuel

  Mayor Tom Menino

  Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan

  Sir Mervyn King

  Former Secretary of the Treasury Larry Summers

  The conversation would be part of a large multiplatform initiative that Harvard Professor Lisa New has under
  way to bring poetry into the mainstream, and, especially, into English Language Arts classrooms in the United
  States and around the world. The initiative, Poetry in America, includes a HarvardX online course, a television
  series we're creating with WGBH to be paired with PBS LearningMedia segments for the classroom, and, a
  series of online professional development courses we're creating for ELA Middle and High School teachers and
  for their students.

  Let us know if Woody Allen might be open to our sending another release form his way. Of course, if he's
  interested in releasing the footage for only certain parts of our project, we're open to having a conversation
  about that, too.

  Thank you, and I hope to meet you soon.

  Best, Leah

  Dear Friend,

  Both Sides Now w/ Huffington & Matalin celebrates its 1st anniversary this week. As the
  only 2 sides/2 women show on national radio, we've grown from 16 stations in May of
  2010 to 110 now.

  Arianna and Mary find consensus that, contrary to the Washington and media
  conventional wisdom, the Jobs Agenda is more urgent than the Deficit Agenda ("if people
  only read about shark attacks, they'll worry about shark attacks," says Arianna). And they
  agree that there’s an apparent outbreak of men abusing the help -- Strauss-Kahn,
  Schwarzenegger, Ensign. To paraphase Freud, what do men want?

  But there’s sharp disagreement about whether Rep. Ryan walked into Obama's trap by
  proposing to end Medicare in 10 years. Will the special election this Tuesday in Jack
  Kemp's old seat produce a Democratic "Scott Brown Moment"?

  Dear Jeffrey,

  May | drop by before the New Year (perhaps on the 9th, or on the 17th or 18th?) to get your advice
  about my renewal of the Templeton campaign, and also my needs in the coming year for Poetry in
  America? Below is the letter I'm sending out to my friends and supporters, and at the bottom a
  message just for you....

  -Lisa

  That you are receiving this letter means that you are among a special community of friends whose
  support— financial, moral, intellectual, logistical— has allowed my initiative, Poetry in America, to
  realize what seemed, a year ago, almost certainly too ambitious a vision. That vision was to
  produce the highest quality educational video on American poetry, creating a body of
  humanities content capable of reaching a broad community of learners: formal and informal,
  online and residential, young and old, American and international. And it was to

  begin— rapidly— to disseminate and distribute our work.

  Whether you donated to Poetry in America through Filmmaker’s Collaborative (our 501c3 fiscal
  sponsor), through Harvard, or through WGBH; whether you appeared on camera or talked an elusive
  friend into appearing on camera to discuss a poem; whether you lent us your film crew, or provided
  overnight use of your hotel suite or apartment or of your whole skyscraper; whether you highlighted
  our work on your stage, or talked your colleagues into becoming corporate sponsors; whether you
  flew to Boston to install state-of-the-art editing and video storage equipment, or asked your children’s
  school to let us film there; whether you encouraged your family foundation to take an interest in the
  project, or gave us a lesson in IP, in licensing, in the rudiments of finance, or of distribution; whether
  you praised, or gave timely, much-needed criticism— you enabled what we have done.

  Here’s what we have to report, and to show, a year later, thanks to your help. Links offer sneak peeks
  of works -in-progress across the full portfolio of Poetry in America projects.

  ° The first eight-episode season of the public television series Poetry in America (a co-
  production between WGBH, Emmy Award-winning filmmaker David Grubin, and my own new
  production company, Verse Video), is now fully funded and in production, with episodes featuring Bill
  Clinton, Herbie Hancock and Sonia Sanchez _on Langston Hughes, Frank Gehry on Carl Sandburg,
  Katie Couric on Elizabeth Bishop, Nas on Whitman, and many more scheduled for nationwide launch
  in 2017.

  e Poetry in America’s many initiatives to reach Middle and High School teachers and their
  students are taking root. Our first online course for Middle and High School Teachers, Poetry of
  the City, will launch this Spring with the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Companion
  materials to this course will be made available for free on PBS LearningMedia. This course is
  designed to meet the needs of English Language Arts and Social Studies teachers in the US and
  internationally.

  sales. sec irs. gaming. foreign reporting. the 8865 mess will take months to review now. . you CANNOT file unreviewed audited documents. .CANNOT!!! _ this will be very detailed work. . a self inflicted wound - all avoidable if professionals had been in place to limit . or contain it. . . you will need 3 new hires .as there is no one in your office that is truly an A player. I have great hope in Barry as you know. He will need to be trained. note ; One year is my guesstimate After 4 years of telling you , that you could do better than Halperin, : im glad that you now are willing to follow barrys advice . I take no offense , in fact I take comfort in the fact that after only one conversation with Barry you are now convinced to make that change . will take a year or more. I expect as a friend you will understand that I will no longer , not even for one day , work on your affairs . without the compensation that is long overdue. . your unilateral idea of after care , not imposed on any other professional , except me, not paul weiss ,( caesars alone , a direct screw up on their part ) tom, akin, , no one. needs toend.. you and I had previously agreed no more of that , and this after you decided not to pay me per our agreement. to be fair I can not say im surprised as you have email after email , stating that , if you save a great deal of money, you wont want to pay , so limit it to 40m per year. - water under the bridge If I can find the time to work , on your project , which is not by any means certain as I have said, I hope you understand that it now will have to be under my standard terms and conditions. and well documented so as to avoid any more of the he said she said. I never want to have any more uncomfortable money moments with you , I find it very distasteful. . soto be clear , my terms are as follows. I will only work for the usual 40 million per year. It needs to be paid, 25 million upon signing an agreement . 5 million every 2 months thereafter for 6 months ie march may june . this can begin ifi am able in January. I will immediately stop work , if the payment is not received. If you want me to work this year until Jan 15, it will be 10 million. paid upfront. after one year you will be left with a new estate plan a running office. staffed with professionals overseen by Barry. (hallelujah ) a tax plan . and an investment that returns more than any painting you could possible own. _. no agreement - no work. however - I of course will talk to Barry for the hour that i promised , and take your guidance as to what I should say. Ihave told the brads and barry,- Iam done. its not a negotiation , out !!- fyi given my carlyn joslin castrucci, admonishments,- though my involvement in those - in one instance only gave a name - in another only given an eileen dictated choice btween two 250k preparers. and for castrucci, I actually sent emails that i take no responsiblity for his being hired. - however you felt strongly that I should be saddled with their outcomes .even with brad wechsler , 1 again said two months in, Leon, he doesnt get it. I tell you this so that you will understand that I will not interview, recommend or vet any new hire. A story - In 1993 trump and I had a friend that kept telling his pilots how to fly , and when to fly , he couldnt help himself from hiring morons as co pilots, and maintenance people based on cheapest rates. Donald and I tried and tried to talk some sense into him, to no avail. Donald and I were in aspen, sitting at little nells. when the friends plane crashed into the side of aspen mountain , klliing him and all on board,- Trump looked at me and said without a blink , I guess NOW he wishes he would have listened to us.- a metaphor for your office.. . had we not waited to the very last hour having had a six month window and tens of unasnwered text and emails re decisions needed including the 1031. you would have saved way more than you often feel obliged to argue about. . silly buti reallize you are stressed. Barry will need to sit with brad for months, to absorb all the co's , structures. cash flow, financial statments etc. I will present barry my thoughts on the overall redo _, it will be the exact same email that 1 presented to you and brad two years.ago . accurate numbers first. and foremost. .( last week gaming report stil funky). IT ete I pointed out some of the more glaring errors to barry to give him a flavor of what is to come. Tuesday if you like we should discuss Giacometti , and pesner . difficult to finesse him if they are filing documents that you won't. these ridiculous conversations with tons of people on the phone , removes any claim you might have to not be considered a WILLFUL NON-FILER .

  The US team is out with their 2017 Year Ahead this morning (top pick into the new year.

  ink) running through ALL sub-sectors with each analysts

  Top Picks — ACAD, AGN, ANTM, CELG, CVS, DHR, EW, EVHC, RARE, REGN, WBA

  Washington DC Backdrop

  Given the clean sweep by the GOP & uncertainty around the ACA, key attention is paid by Andy Bressler to a review of
  the various scenarios that could play out early next year. With a repeal likely to happen well before a replace
  (essentially via the Budget Reconciliation process in Jan/Feb), Andy notes this is likely to include a repeal of both
  health insurance exchange subsidies & a phase-down of Medicaid expansion funding (albeit with a two or three year
  transition period).

  He also expects a repeal of many of the larger HC related taxes in the ACA, including the HIX ($14.3bn in 2018),
  Medtech Tax (2.3%), pharma industry tax ($4.1bn in 2018) & Cadillac tax (effective 2020).

  As for the views by analysts...
  Biotech (+) — believe sector will outperform largely as pricing risk has diminished (although will remain in pockets) but
  pipelines/growth remains. Ying’s top picks are CELG & REGN; Tazeen’s top picks are ACAD & RARE.

  Spec Pharma (-) — headwinds remain w/ Sumant’s top pick AGN given lower risk to reimbursement pressures & an
  underappreciated pipeline. Leverage & CF remain the key focus for investors.

  Tools/Animal Health (=) — Derik notes more “headline” than “real” risks from policy which will create opportunities for a
  group growing MSD, although valuations remain above peers. DHR (US 1 name) top pick, also A, ZTS in Animal
  Health, BDX in Diagnostics & CTLT in Services.

  Medtech (=) — Hopkins’ expects a mixed bag in 2017 w/ stocks trading close to 5yr valuation lows; EW top pick given
  best growth / purest innovation story.

  Dr. Krauss: 
  As you know, I'm a reporter for BuzzFeed News who has been investigating sexual misconduct allegations against you. As we've already discussed by email, I'd very much like to interview you about these allegations in detail. 
  In particular, you stated in an email sent on Nov 13 that two universities had investigated an incident (# 6 below). You claimed that "both Universities independently concluded that the report was unsubstantiated and fabricated with malicious intent." We are not aware that either university concluded fabrication or malicious intent, so if you have evidence to support this assertion, we would like to see and discuss it. 
  The story concerns your actions towards students while a professor of physics at Case Western Reserve University, as well as your conduct in non-academic settings as a prominent figure in the skeptics movement. I am reporting this story along with two of my colleagues on the science desk, Azeen Ghorayshi and Virginia Hughes. 
  Our story is about several allegations of sexual misconduct dating from 2006 to 2016 (see full details below). Our reporting also goes into how the various institutions you have been affiliated with — Case Western, Arizona State University, the Australian National University, the New College of the Humanities, and the Center for Inquiry, for which you serve as an honorary member of the board of directors — have handled complaints and concerns about your behavior during this time. 
  Our story is corroborated by emails, university documents, official complaints, testimony from victims and eyewitnesses, and interviews with more than two dozen of your current and former academic colleagues, students, and peers in the skeptics movement. 
  I wanted to offer you the opportunity to comment and/or respond to the main facts we plan to publish. If you wish to comment on any of the below findings, we need to hear from you as soon as possible. We are planning on publishing our story Tuesday morning, Eastern US Time. 
  Based on our reporting, this is what we plan to publish: 
  [...incidents and miscellaneous facts detailed...]
  Again, if you wish to comment on or clarify any of these points, please get in touch with us as soon as possible. If I do not respond immediately it is because I am on another call, so please leave the best phone number to reach you.

  Since sending the note below, we have heard from the Australian National University. They informed us: 
  "The characterisation by Professor Krauss that The Australian National University (ANU) found the complaint to be 'unsubstantiated and fabricated with malicious intent' is false." 
  They also told us that you resigned your honorary appointment at ANU on November 3. Can you comment on the reason for your resignation from ANU? 
  I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you. Again, we are planning on publishing our story Tuesday morning, Eastern US Time. Please provide any comments you wish us to consider before then.

  Hello Peter. I am currently on a plane. I sent you earlier from the plane an email response to your letter, which I hope you received. Regarding your note below: My earlier remark to you was based on my correspondence with the universities during and after the investigation, and the conclusion I drew from the ANU report, which I quoted for you in my response to your note. The claims made in the allegation which were later demonstrated to be false, or which were then not supported after repeated requests from the University to substantiate the claim, provided evidence that the claim was fabricated (as I knew it must be), and therefore maliciously so. 
  I had been planning on resigning my honorary appointment at ANU before I received the original letter from ANU because my wife had moved to the US several years ago, and I no longer visited the University regularly to work with colleagues there as I did in earlier years. When I received the letter from ANU regarding the complaint, I decided to wait to resign my appointment until the investigation was completed and the complaint was dismissed. After it was, I sent my note of resignation in, and I note that upon its receipt the Dean he suggested I remain on until my appointment expired at the end of this year, but as I had made my decision to resign earlier I felt no need to wait until then. I received a very nice note from the director of the unit I work with (who was made aware of the complaint and its resolution by the Dean) who expressed thanks for my many contributions to the University while there, and my interactions with staff, students, and faculty there. 
  I hope this clarifies your issues.

  Why I Leaked the Anita Hill Affidavit
  I shall identify myself only as a female aide to a Republican senator. It is also relevant that I have long
  nurtured a keen interest in psycho-history, the process by which a nation's direction is interpreted as an extension
  of the psychological makeup of those individuals who govern it.
  Without going into specific detail, let me simply state that on October 5, 1991, I happened to hear part of
  a conversation among Judge—now Supreme Court Justice—Clarence Thomas, Senator Orrin Hatch and Senator
  Alan Simpson. The three were meeting informally one week after the Judiciary Committee voted, first 7-7, then
  13-1, to recommend the confirmation of Judge Thomas, and one day after the full Senate indicated that he would
  be confirmed.
  The conversation I happened to hear had to do with those charges brought by Anita Hill and ignored by the
  members of the committee, both Democratic and Republican. At that point in time I still thought this was an
  appropriate response, because the alternative would have been to hold an executive session, and Judge Thomas
  would then have had no practical choice but to resort to heavy denial. Now, however, these men were, in a
  jocular fashion, acknowledging the truth of what would turn out to be Professor Hill's allegations.
  Senator Simpson was saying, "Y'know, Clarence, I've seen some pretty raunchy porno movies in my time,
  but I never did see one where a lady was having sex with an animal."
  "I'll never forget it," Judge Thomas replied in his riveting sonorous tone. "They were in a barn. Except
  that the inside of the barn was like a theater."
  Senator Hatch interjected, "Summer stock, eh? No pun intended"
  "There was a stage at one end," Judge Thomas continued his description, "and the stage was facing rows
  and rows of wooden folding chairs. There were haystacks piled up on the stage, and in front of the haystacks
  there was a beautiful, buxom, blond woman—and a donkey. Well, the woman began disrobing and she started
  stroking the donkey to arousal."
  "Doesn't sound at all sleazy to me," Senator Simpson said.
  "Actually, it had Beethoven piano sonatas playing in the background," Judge Thomas said. "Well, when
  the woman was fully disrobed and the donkey was fully aroused, they began copulating, right there in front of
  those haystacks on the stage of that barn. Slow and sensual. Then bumping and grinding away, accompanied by
  passionate moans and wild braying. You've never seen a sight like this, I promise. And then the camera panned
  slowly toward the audience . . . and the audience consisted entirely of donkeys."
  The Senate office shook with raucous laughter, especially that of Judge Thomas. His booming guffaws
  rang like huge gongs in a church belfry. And, I must admit, I had to suppress my own laughter. I had been totally
  caught by surprise, but I appreciated getting the insight. Homo sapiens is, in reality, the only species that has a
  need for pornography.
  When the group's laughter finally began to simmer down, Senator Hatch said, "I suppose that movie was
  one of the demands of the animal rights people."
  "That's correct," Senator Simpson added. "Saving animals' lives is no longer enough. They need culture."
  I felt like I was imprisoned in the boys' locker room, but I was getting ready to force myself to leave
  anyway, and it would have ended right there for me if the subject matter hadn't returned to Anita Hill.
  "I'm glad nobody considered calling her to testify against me, even for a closed-door session," Judge
  Thomas said. "But you fellas will really love this. Anita Hill was a very opinionated young lady. Actually, she
  and I once had an extremely animated discussion on the decriminalization of abortion. Can you imagine what
  the Democrats would've done with that?"
  And that was the precise instant I made the decision to leak Professor Hill's statement to the press. Although
  I have constantly been sexually hassled, I have never really been harassed in the legal sense of the word.
  However, I have had an abortion, and I was totally outraged by the blatant hypocrisy I'd overheard. I had never
  leaked a document before, but my anger overshadowed my fear.
  I chose Nina Totenberg because I had come to trust her reporting about the Supreme Court on National
  Public Radio. I honestly had no idea what leaking the affidavit would accomplish. I certainly did not envision
  that it would literally embarrass the Senate into delaying the vote until public hearings were held, though that
  probably was my secret desire.
  But Judge Thomas testified under oath that he had never discussed the subject of abortion. However, in
  response to a question by Senator Hank Brown, Professor Hill testified that she had disagreed with Judge Thomas
  in a discussion about Roe v. Wade. Unfortunately, then-Senator Joseph Biden quickly interrupted her.
  "That is not the subject of these hearings," he said.
  Personally, I feel quite disappointed about that particular aspect of the testimony, but I have not the slightest
  regret over leaking Anita Hill's affidavit, and I would gladly do it all over again.
  I certainly set a higher moral standard for myself than did the staffer for Senator John Danforth who wrote
  Judge Thomas's statement that began, "Nobody helped me with this."

  Trump appears with mobster-affiliated felon at New Year's bash

  President-elect Donald Trump rang in the new year together with Joseph "Joey No Socks" Cinque — a
  convicted felon with ties to notorious Gambino crime family boss John Gotti, a recently released video has
  revealed.

  Cinque can be seen in a video obtained by the Palm Beach Daily News , cheering loudly as a tuxedo-clad
  Trump runs through a number of campaign promises before the hundreds of guests attending the New Year's
  Eve bash the President-elect threw at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on Saturday.

  "The taxes are coming down, regulations are coming off, we're going to get rid of Obamacare," Trump can be
  heard saying as an exuberant Cinque stands next to him, pumping his fists into the air.

  Cinque's Sunday appearance with Trump might raise some eyebrows.

  Beyond a 1989 felony conviction for possessing nearly $100,000 worth of stolen artwork, Cinque "used to be
  friends with John Gotti," according to a New York Magazine profile from 1995 .

  Cinque was also "shot three times and left for dead" in a 1980 incident that authorities described as "a hit,"
  according to the profile.

  Further, Saturday's Mar-a-Lago party was far from the first time Cinque cheered on for Trump.

  An Associated Press report from this spring showed that the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences, a
  company owned and operated by Cinque, has awarded more than a dozen of Trump's golf courses, hotels,
  casinos and private clubs with so-called "Star Diamond" awards "of true excellence in hospitality.”

  The same report also found that about half of the roughly 30 people listed as "trustees" to the company are
  Trump friends or business associates.

  Trump, meanwhile, was listed on the company's website as its "ambassador extraordinaire,” and he even
  appeared in a 2009 tribute video to Cinque in which he said, "There's nobody like him. He's a special guy."

  But when asked by reporters about Cinque in May, Trump denied knowing anything about him or his criminal
  past.

  "Ifa guy's going to give you an award, you take it,” the President-elect said at the time. "You don't tend to look
  up his whole life story.”

  The Trump transition team did not immediately return a request for comment on how the President-elect knows
  Cinque or why they appeared together Saturday.

  While standing alongside Cinque, Trump also took a moment to address the terror attack that left scores of
  nightclub revelers in Istanbul dead over the weekend — and how the bloodbath somehow necessitates a
  Mexican border wall.

  “We will build a wall, you know that. We will build a wall,” the President-elect told the raucous crowd.
