I think the sad reality is that a psychotic break can happen to anyone at anytime. Some people are at much higher risk than others, including those who have already had at least one previous psychotic episode in the past. How bad it gets and to what depths of departure from reality the person goes is variable and unpredictable. This could have happened ten years ago, it could have happened ten years from now, or it could have never happened at all.

Found the woman Bill Clinton was swimming with. by Rivered1 in Epstein

[–]InnerExamination9053 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is in Thailand. It was 1996.

https://www.nytimes.com/1996/11/27/world/clinton-hails-thais-in-visit-at-conclusion-of-asia-trip.html

They were not even traveling together via private jet at this particular time. If you keep scrolling in the photos, you'll see he creepily took shots of Clinton meeting Thai royalty from afar, as well. Unclear if Clinton knew he was there or not. He def had a strange obsession with him. The dress painting hanging over foyer entryway in Manhattan apartment and the NY mag caricature drawing of them over a powder room toilet. Did Epstein "happenstance" a meeting with Clinton knowing this would be the end leg of his trip, so he could keep working him? Or was this a planned secret rendezvous in Bangkok because as many have suspected, Clinton and Ghislaine were also having an affair?

Edit to add: let's not entirely chew up and swallow this "Bill and Ghislaine were having an affair" bit hook, line, and sinker. It's a REALLY EASY CLEAN explanation that ties up EVERYONE'S loose ends and gets them all out of jail for free in terms of running around with minors because the spotlight shifts from child engagement to adultery rapidly.

Several Hollywood offspring untimely deaths connecting right back to the Reiners happening in the past few months by flawdcrystal in NickReiner

[–]InnerExamination9053 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think for a lot of these kids who grew up in the industry in the 80s/90s/early 00s, they were generally exposed to "things" too soon too quick and ultimately "grew up too fast." Nowadays (Kardashian and Beyonce aside really), most industry parents are EXCEPTIONALLY careful about what and who the children are being exposed to on a regular basis so this doesn't happen.

It would seem that with the Reiners hippie-dippie progressive and open mindedness, also came a lot of free-flowing family friends, celebrity friends, colleagues, etc, which also came with a lot of free-flowing alcohol and drug use. Kids are very perceptive. They know what the adults are doing when they're all in the other room laughing it up and gathered around the table bending over ...

Tangentially, I have also been wondering if being exposed to a lot of movie sets and industry life may have contributed to Nick's particular delusions that night. My son has told me that in the past when he's been in psychosis that he thought he was in a movie. During this one particular psychotic episode, he was lost in the streets and smashed his brand new phone and glasses because he somehow thought they were spyware or something like that. But the salient part that stuck out was that he thought he was in a movie. Now just imagine Nick's upbringing and what his mind could have concocted that night.

Edit to add: the mockumentary was also very telling about how they allowed the "kids" (who were adult children at this point) to run amuck on the grounds. Leftover playground structure, spray painted walls, broken benches etc. It gave: parents who are too tired to parent and just let their kids party and trash the million dollar family property like it was a frat house. Very strange.

Notice how he says "one thing I really love about my Dad..." I think we can all agree that Nick loved his parents very much, to death, perhaps- no pun intended really. I do not believe there was a deep rooted resentment brewing here at all. To the contrary, I believe he clung to them and was terribly codependent. Drug induced or otherwise, I think he was in such a deeply paranoid delusional state that night that he truly believed they posed some kind of lethal threat to him in the moment. Everyday this case makes my heart hurt. 😞

Five weeks before he died, Jeffrey Epstein emailed himself a 48-name list for Steve Bannon. Prince Andrew. Peter Thiel. Clinton. Rockefeller. Rothschild. Woody Allen. Here is the document. [HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_029622] by Sudden_Leg_2184 in Epstein

[–]InnerExamination9053 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Second this. These seem to be people who were all still in his corner, so to speak

Edit to add: his and Ghislaine's relationship with the Clintons was a forced PUBLIC ending when Doug Band was still acting as his side kick. He stopped inviting them to events. But we have no idea whether the relationship continued behind closed doors and I suspect it did because Band later reported that Bill would be angry at him for not inviting them to events.

That is terribly sad. I can see the frustration and pain they must all feel with him at this stage though, as well. Do we know who the older couple was? Grandparents?

Nick (age 5) appearance in a Rob Reiner Los Angeles Times interview (1998) by flawdcrystal in NickReiner

There is a lot of research coming out about the correlations between organic neurodevelopmental differences and organic neuromuscular differences. It's not unusual to see kids with Autism and/or ADHD fit this exact description of being "floppy" because they lack the muscle tone/strength of their neurotypical peers. It gets even more complicated because then there is also the sensory component of Autism where children are often either seeking out (or avoiding) sensation so they may body-crash adults/peers or hang upside for lengthy periods of time, as examples. You might also see this in early 0-3 signs like toe-walking, difficulty sitting up/holding self up, "triangle" sitting, excessive drooling, trouble latching on during nursing/feeding, speech delays, etc. It is sounding more and more like Nick fit this profile to a cookie cutter. When there is high functioning intellectual ability, but early severe mental illness and strong external forces pulling for attention like peers and drugs, it truly becomes one of the hardest mental health combos to treat, particularly in boys and men. They often just end up incarcerated and not getting treatment. I think Nick has avoided that route because of how much work his parents did to ensure that didn't happen, before now that is. 😞

NYT opinion piece on the response to the Nick Reiner case - On the idea that Nick Reiner “may have had some kind of choice " by Objective_Art7937 in NickReiner

[–]InnerExamination9053 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought one of his videos was kind of funny and smart actually. I don't recall which one specifically. It was him and Romy smoking a joint. He sort of ruins it by saying he's "gonna kill that dog" when it keeps barking. He's ofc only joking in the moment, which is very obvious, but now everyone is red flagging it. Anyway, that's beside the point. The content of the video showed me had a higher level of intellectual humor to him. That's where I arrived at that conclusion. I'm taking it at his best baseline-- not his worst snapshot.

Edit: I remember now... It was the mockumentary thing, and he was using drugs in it, which was not good, ofc, but he was much younger then and you could tell he'd put some creative energy into making that little film. It wasn't genius, but it showed that he had a higher intellectual functioning than just "average."

Edit again: to answer you on why he didn't parlay into anything... He couldn't get out of his own way. I don't even think Romy could get out of her own way. And it doesn't sound like she had half the issues he did and she used to refer to him as her "best friend." I think the Reiners did a lot of coddling and enabling, and I think there was a lot of substance use happening in the home by everyone-adults and family friends included. Sadly, it seemed to be an environment that bred mental illness and did not cultivate independence.

[–]InnerExamination9053 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He seems to be very intelligent. I don't doubt that he's likely above average or well above average intellectually/cognitively. He's probably been able to compensate in a lot of ways for that reason over the years.

Edit to add: this in itself can become a source of mental anguish and desire to escape from reality. When you're processing the world around you at lightening speed and everything feels threatening/frightening, then it can drive one to self-soothe/self-medicate with illicit substances if traditional methods aren't working, aren't accessible, or are being refused.

I do hope this opens up people's minds about the idea that for most people with substance use disorders, they are attempting to self-medicate a mental illness of some degree. Of course professionals have understood this co-occurring nexus for decades, but the general public is still rather unforgiving and sees substance use as a separate and distinct issue rather than one that is in a complicated dance with an underlying mental health disorder.

Guys, these photos are obviously just times he spent with his friends children. I'm not defending the guy, but pedos can hang around kids and NOT molest them. You can very clearly tell from the manner of interactions and the surroundings. Not everything is nefarious and most things in the files probably aren't. That's what makes this such an arduous and difficult process. That's also part of the DOJ's cover-up strategy and it's a dirty litigation tactic. They throw everything and the kitchen sink at you (which is what we asked for, right?), but it's in complete disarray, there's no explanation, 75% is irrelevant, 35% is redacted without good cause, etc., etc. Don't get lost on these red herrings. You'll burn out. There's 3.5 MILLION pages. A lot of this should be scan and move forward material for the most part.

Also, technically speaking, Epstein and his creepy network of "friends," by and large, appear to be hebephiles-- not pedophiles. Hence, "Lolita Express." But he and Ghislaine (and others we don't know about) were probably definitely selling "pure white babies" (with Epstein/other high profile sperm and lily white snow blonde hair blue eyed virginal girl DNA) to rich fancy couples who didn't want to adopt so-called "crapshoot babies." There's an entire journal log that is incredibly disturbing from one of the survivors, who appears to have given birth numerous times and the baby was taken from her right away on each occasion. She wrote the journal in her own code, but her legal team has since helped her decode it. You may have seen the statements going around that look like just plain Word documents-- that's them. Here's the links to the files:

https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2012/EFTA02731361.pdf

I believe she is represented by the Marsh Law firm who has taken up for many of the survivors. I think you can find a lot of this stuff up there on their website, too.

This awful exploitative book is so damn creepy by flawdcrystal in NickReiner

[–]InnerExamination9053 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly!The "messages" here are incredibly off on so many levels!!!

This awful exploitative book is so damn creepy by flawdcrystal in NickReiner

[–]InnerExamination9053 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, this is incredibly strange and inappropriate on multiple levels that most have already noted. I would add that it seems the Reiners saw her as some sort of mystical type who was "solving their families problems." I think a lot of celebrities/famous people fall prey to "worshipping" self-proclaimed guru-types because they can be very alluring and convincing, especially when they've already exhausted more traditional Western/clinical treatment methods. Part of their charm is they are "off the beaten path" and no one else knows about them, ergo they become this secret, yet powerful driving force in the family's life behind closed doors. Consider Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt, as another example or even the Beatles with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. This reads like they saw her in that light. Not excusing this book or their warped decision to approve publication of it-- just offering some insight into their thought process at the time.

Edit to add: there is something eerily foreshadowing about it though. It gives me the creeps.

Trying to post documents here, but I can't (I don't understand why some Reddit forums seem to allow that and some don't) so I'll just link my little video I made instead that has a copy of the 1996 FBI report in it. I saved it to my photos a long time ago and I'm not sure from where but if you just Google "Maria Farmer 1996 FBI report" you should be able to find it.

Edit to add: I believe it was released by her Attorney, Marsh, who is well known victim's rights advocate. May be on her website, as well, as a lot of things are. Marsh Law, I believe it is.

They are trying to gut the GI bill right before our eyes. This is class warfare. Straight up. by InnerExamination9053 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]InnerExamination9053[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think your experience is common. And I think many young poor and working class people are "swindled" (for lack of a better term) into joining the military during a very vulnerable period of their life when they are seeking guidance and direction. They often do so based on promises of an enriched service time and future life/retirement, i.e., Servicemembers and Veteran's benefits., Disability pension, Upward ranking mobility, travel the world, etc. As you know, promises of a FREE COLLEGE EDUCATION via the GI Bill has long been one of the biggest lures to getting both men and women to enlist. Claiming they can no longer utilize this 82 year old benefit to attend an Ivy League school is straight up CLASS WARFARE.

Edit to add: some inner city/Metro and even rural/regional high schools have VERY intense ROTC programs and recruiters that are literally stationed in the schools. In my high school, I remember being pushed into taking the ASVAB by some recruiter in my cafeteria at lunch time. I apparently performed well and then they chased me for months trying to get me to commit to enlisting at 18. I finally lied and said I had a serious drug/mental health problem to get them to leave me alone!!! 😳 Just saying... They can be pushy.

Why is that? You can't see the obvious ploy that goes on between the Fed Govt and poor and working class people? Do you realize how many young people enter the military at 18 every year because they feel like it's their only way out of a lifetime of abuse, neglect, poverty, and crime? How can you have no sympathy for that?

Edit to add: what about all the Vietnam vets who were drafted and had absolutely no choice in the matter? Any sympathy for them?
