I haven't written anything in a long while which created as much negative feedback as my Epstein piece. Which I like, I enjoy a good spirited disagreement and I have not been admonished post blogpost like that for a long while, also receiving various notes from those few that agreed with me.
I received this letter today from a nice reader:
Hi Robert,
I do enjoy perusing your Blue Heron Blast publications. I thought you might want more information on the accusations against Epstein by those brave enough to come forward despite the rich and powerful who have threatened them with lawsuits. I do believe that girls like Annie Farmer were innocents, not some hardened 16 year old. She thought he was a philanthropist who was going to give her a scholarship for college.
Well, here are the articles, one of which tells about a tip off about 2 bodies of foreign females brought to Zorro Ranch who are buried on the property somewhere. After all this time and the ranch changing hands with new construction, it might be impossible to find the bodies on 1243 acres.
Of course, there is even more testimony of the then girls and now women, about Epstein's infamous island which aren't included in the articles.
I hope this might change your mind about the minor girls having just as much responsibility for what was done to them as Epstein or Maxwell were.
Hoping this helps,
L
Let me just say a couple things in reply. Besides thank you for sending.
No. 1, I have no specific knowledge of the particular women involved in these allegations and was making a general point. I said that I did not think that they were kidnapped or raped, perhaps I was wrong. Dead girls buried on the ranch would definitely be evidence of something truly horrific that would lend credence to that.
No. 2, I never said that the victims had just as much responsibility for their travails as the old perverts, I said that they had some responsibility.
But I also said that the whole entire affair "smacked of rich guys at their creepiest."
And I want to make one more point which may or may not be valid or salient regarding this matter, a sordid affair with the most complete of coverups. And that is that young beautiful women learn very young that their beauty is a currency that has transactional value.
The saddest ones are those that rely on it entirely and never develop other parts of their being, like becoming compassionate, loving or educated. Because it is a transient thing and when it is gone it is helpful to have some other tools in the quiver. We have all met those rare flowers that have gone to seed and have little to nothing left.
Are sexual relationships between young women and boys and the rich and powerful asymmetric? Of course they are and that is what makes them so dangerous.
You can call me what you want but I still maintain that many of these young women knew that what they were doing was wrong but did it anyway, sensing a gilded entry to money and power. But young and stupid should not get anyone killed or raped either, if that is in fact what happened.
