Crypto Bros Nauseated After Realizing Bitcoin Itself Was Funded by Jeffrey Epstein. “We’ve basically funded an elite global pedophile ring since 2015. I feel sick.”
Epstein and Bannon thought they were running a global conspiracy to burn down global democracy and replace it with a network of fascist states. Maybe they were really doing it, maybe they were just kidding themselves.
Epstein’s messages give us a glimpse, one we were never meant to see, of a shadowy world of international espionage, deregulated finance, far-right politics, eugenicist race science, information warfare, and unfathomably intricate human trafficking networks. Epstein wanted to break the internet and, eventually, democracy, to cover his tracks and cash in on the chaos…. Were Epstein and Bannon really building a crypto-funded far-right coalition of pro-Russian dictators across Europe? Or were they just LARPing as kingmakers with each other over email?
Now that I’ve split my meme posts into a separate blog on Micro.blog, I might migrate all my Mastodon followers to my Micro.blog account. I’m sure I will not regret it and change it back, like every other time I made that transition. I am also sure this transition is an effective use of my time.
I’ve decided to split this blog in two. I’m going to use mitchellaneous.net for the memes and other curiosities I’ve found on the Internet. I want to keep that ephemera separate from what I post here — when I resume posting here. I haven’t been feeling it lately because (gestures broadly to the world).
