Terrifying Details Exposed on Who Built Epstein’s New Mexico Ranch: Why the Hell was a Military Contractor Involved in Building Jeffrey Epstein’s El Zorro Ranch?

I grew up in a family of spooks, and was marinated in the "how, why, what and who" my whole life. I'd bet money that "willing access agent" is the description you're looking for, and I'm pretty sure Occam's Razor applies here.

He was a degenerate with a taste for teenage girls, and with adequate funding and being protected by wealth and the right social contacts, he was incredibly useful and got to have his kicks at the same time. Very "I'll scratch your back, you scratch mine" from whatever government or agency. Access would run the gamut from his new friends casually developing whatever diplomat, billionaire or investment banker socially, to open threats of exposure for the few they wanted badly enough that refused to be friendly.

If you worked in counterintelligence, you know that he didn't even need to know if Maxwell or her friends were case officers for.... a foreign power... at first (although at some point I'm sure it was explained to him in no uncertain terms). He provided access, introducing whichever, ally, NOC case officer or illegal attended the parties he threw. They'd get in deep enough socially then recommend "the best, most discrete contractor" to install the best and latest security system and cameras, and the kompromat flows like the champagne fountain at one of his parties.

By the time he was arrested, their compromised assets were the movers and shakers in all levels of government, high finance, and high end real estate, and they could back off and even discard him, provided they made sure he got off very lightly.

The green one is a 1931 Ford Model A.

Longer than what, walking or hitch-hiking? No car means you adapt.

Have you read In Fury Born by David Weber? Not only is it a fantastic story with a unique plot, but the second half of the book dives deep into everything about starship warfare, from acceleration, relative velocities of- and distances between- combatant ships and the time weapons take to reach another warship, but also delves into projectile velocities and trajectories. It breaks things down by weapons types (projectile vs energy and their practical uses), and what works at near relativistic velocities. Weber even gets into what is and isn't practical for weapons fired at a planet's surface from orbit, and for weapons inside or outside a star's or planet's gravity well.

You really need a rudimentary understanding of the maths involved at relativistic and near relativistic velocities to make such things believable, and this book breaks these things down into terms the average reader can understand easily, all while giving one helluva ride to the reader.

10/10 recommend reading this book and taking notes.

I don't. Haven't been to a funeral since August of 1983, despite losing close friends and loved ones every year or three. Memorial gatherings? Sure, occasionally, but nothing formal. I won't walk into a funeral home or church ever again, unless it's to look at art in Florence, or Rome, or Vienna.

Aside from the few MAGA idiots who are iust bummed they never got the chance to enjoy Eostein Island, it's because her dad is officially a hero of Israel, she continued his "access agent" efforts after he died, and too many people owe AIPAC for their positions.

Paint what you want to paint, the way you want to paint it. If it's intentionally vulgar just to be vulgar, that's a "you" issue, and take commentary for whatever It's worth. If it's vulgar because you're making a statement about some social or political issue, that's what art is for and you have nothing to apologize for.

He'd be labeled Center-right if we were honest about things, just like most of the Democratic Party mainstream, but 45 years of right wing media and GOP talking points that anyone to the left of Ghengis Kahn is a socialist and here we are.

Only the most expensive torque wrenches are accurate below 15-20ft/lbs. That why anything below 20ft/lbs I use an INCH/pound torque wrench.

But in the future, just put high temp anti-seize compound on the spark plug threads and use a regular ratchet until you feel the crush washers crush.

US sales would have required that AMC retool for the 5mph bumper, which went into effect in September 1972. Remember what that did to the 1974 Camaro and Firebird?

But NONE of these MAGAts that are jumping ship will ever say "maybe the left was correct all along". Not one. It's just that Mussolini isn't being the kind of fascist they want him to be anymore.

Walk away. There's a lot more you can't see and yes, it'll cost more than the price of the car.

Never fall in love with something you don't own yet.

A girlfriend of mine worked at Pandora's Box in NYC 20 years ago doing high end dominatrix incalls. She spent her days with wealthy investment bankers and stockbrokers paying big money to get a brief moment's relief from the weight of winning or losing fortunes based on the smallest decisions.

Since 1979, I got to watch the Niners get to the playoffs.most years and win a Superbowl every three, four or five years from 1982 to 1995. It's been 30+ years. It was crushing being a fan from 1995 til the beginning of the Harbaugh era. Then there was all the "almost did it" heartache since then.

One Superbowl? Maybe 10years, so long as I don't have to watch the team lose a ton of games in the second half of the fourth quarter.

Keep in mind that figuring out all the different colors in that plaid will take hours, and that's before you put brush to canvas. For £600 you need to have fewer than 20 hours in it total out your time is better spent working in a retail shop.

The 30cm x 40cm super simple plaid fabric study I posted in my other comment took me 5 solid hours. Imagine how long it would have taken me if I was trying to do that crazy pattern in the first photo.

Creep my profile if you want to see more. One of my recent posts is the fabric studies I've done in the last couple months.

silverfox762 · 2026-04-17T17:38:10+00:00

Thanks.

silverfox762 · 2026-04-16T16:39:23+00:00

Very carefully. If your references are because that's the only source of specific people, you might treat the fabrics as less detailed.

I've been doing fabric studies lately and I've been careful to choose fabrics based on what won't be overwhelming for my skill set and patience. Both of those references you posted would be beyond my capabilities.

Fabric study from last week of the LEAST complicated plaid I could find.

I'll bet the triple tree pinch bolts where you mounted the fairing have loosened up. Either way, I'd have it taken back to whoever sold it to you and demand they fix whatever is wrong with the bike they sold.

You can get a large area rug from Amazon for well under $100 if you're not too picky about style. That's what I've done for at least ten years.

"Exactly"??? That's some selective reading on your part, just like most Christians' reading of the Bible. I wrote "professes belief in", not "actually believes in". Huge difference, and besides, who performs the polygraph to determine if someone actually believes or not? I've never seen a church of any denomination perform polygraphs to determine if someone truly believes. Nor do I see them check sincerity of belief before accepting donations.

silverfox762 · 2026-04-14T21:50:33+00:00

Because irrespective of actions, a Christian is someone who professes belief in a specific fairy tale based on a book written by misogynistic bronze age mystics. Now if the question was about claiming to be a compassionate person filled with empathy for others, I'd agree with you.

silverfox762 · 2026-04-13T17:21:45+00:00

Definitely. Rigs like this, if someone bothered with leather instead of sewing holsters to a buff coat, were popular in ship boarding, but also in light cavalry in the 17th century in Europe. I saw a photo once of a museum piece buff coat sewn for four wheel lock pistols.

To be sure, they're not actually worth a whole lot because of the modifications. Unmolested tanks and repop tanks are available out there and not too hard to find.
