Dear Permission to be Powerful reader,
The latest Epstein files released by the U.S. Justice Department contain millions of emails.
Many of them come after Jeffrey Epstein’s 2008 conviction as a sex offender.
These men knew.
Some of them participated.
And many of them were extremely violent.
In a 2022 civil complaint, a woman alleged she was raped inside Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse by billionaire Leon Black.
She says that he
“bit her vagina,”
Causing bleeding and excruciating pain that lasted for several weeks.
Maria Farmer alleged she was held against her will in Ohio.
One email claims that 2 foreign women were strangled to death and buried near Epstein’s Zorro Ranch in New Mexico
These allegations are starting to paint a dark picture.
Peter Attia
Longevity doctor. Podcast star. Trusted by billionaires.
Peter Attia is a famous doctor on the internet.
He talks about living longer.
Eating better.
Staying sharp.
He runs a massive podcast.
Attia appears in Epstein’s files more than 1,700 times.
“Pussy is, indeed, low carb.”
“Still awaiting results on gluten content.”
That same year, Attia asked Epstein what he was doing in Palm Beach.
“Guess.”
“Besides that.”
Attia also wrote to Epstein’s assistant that he went into “JE withdrawal” when he didn’t see him.
Gross.
In 2017, while Attia’s son was fighting for his life, Attia delayed returning home so he could spend more time with Epstein.
When Epstein bragged about his life, Attia replied:
“Your life is so outrageous I couldn’t tell a soul.”
Larry Summers
Larry Summers ran the U.S. Treasury.
He was president of Harvard.
Yet, in March 2019, months before Epstein’s final arrest, Summers emailed Epstein about a woman he described as…
“Coy.”
Epstein:
“She’s smart – making you pay for past errors.”
Epstein asked Summers to arrange a Harvard campus visit.
He agreed.
Emails show Summers’ wife asking Epstein for donations.
“My life will be better if I raise $1m for Lisa.”
“Lisa” was his wife.
Summers:
“Your help changed everything.”
Summers’ wife:
“I’m going upstairs to hunt for my copy of Lolita.”
Deepak Chopra
Mindfulness brand. Spiritual celebrity.
Deepak Chopra sells consciousness.
Inner peace.
Privately, the tone was different.
Epstein asked Chopra to help him find...
“A cute Israeli blonde.”
Chopra replied that Israeli women were
“militant, aggressive, and sexy.”
Epstein sent “two girls” to one of Chopra’s events.
Epstein:
“I liked watching you zero in on your prey.”
Chopra:
“I am not a predator, just a lover.”
Epstein sent Chopra a news article about a woman accusing Epstein and Trump of raping her at age thirteen.
Chopra:
“Did she also drop the civil case against you?”
Epstein:
“Yup.”
Chopra:
“Good.”
Les Wexner
In 1991, Wexner gave Epstein full power of attorney.
In 1996, Wexner transferred his Manhattan townhouse to Epstein.
Wexner later said Epstein stole at least $46 million.
Leon Black
Leon Black paid Epstein tens of millions of dollars for tax and estate planning advice after Epstein’s conviction.
Black has denied wrongdoing.
Including for the “biting her vagina.”
Yet, he settled his Epstein case for $62.5 million.
Ehud Barak
Former Israeli prime minister.
Defense minister.
Photographs show Ehud Barak entering Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse with several young women.
Bill Gates
“To add insult to the injury you then subsequently with tears in your eyes, implore me to please delete the emails regarding your std, your request that I provide you antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda, and the description of your penis.”
—Jeffrey Epstein
Andrew MountBatten-Windsor…
On all fours over a girl…
Noam Chomsky…
“I’m really fantasizing about the Caribbean island.’
— Noam Chomsky
Peter Thiel
Epstein gave Peter Thiel $40 million...
AFTER his conviction.
They didn’t stop.
They joked.
They coordinated.
They scheduled.
They asked favors.
They accepted introductions.
They took money.
They moved money.
They normalized.
They treated a convicted predator like a friend.
A pal…
Motherfuckers.
