Agnostic. Hate that term. Should have come up with something better than that. A meaning "against "or" opposed to "..Gnosis or Gnostic root is "knowing" or "knowledge"...seems like theyre saying "against knowing" or in the Biblical "willfully ignorant". There are many smart and educated people who self describe as agnostic. Just a weird term.

While there are things you and i see differently...I know you're not dumb, uneducated, or opposed to knowledge. In fact, as far as "fancy book learnin' " goes, I am probably the only poster here who didnt complete HS in normal fashion...i dropped out of an all AP courseload , got my GED at 17, and went to work. I have educated myself since. By reading voraciously. Those of you lucky enough to actually attend UT...are just that. Lucky. I am happy for each of you . I've only ever gotten in an argument here with another poster once for trying to belittle those folks who arent formally educated. Some of the best, and actually brightest, men I have known had very little formal education. Others were like my dad and held several degrees. At this point in my life my focus is just continuing to give my kids the best start possible...so they have an easier path to survival and hopefully comfort than I had. I did everything the hard way...hopefully they take an easier path.

a == "not" or "without"
gnosis -- "knowledge"
agnostic == "no knowledge" == "don't know"

How you been bruh? Holding up? Things getting resolved?

Much love...

This is just a coincidence.

Just a big misunderstanding.

Seriously.

Jeffrey Epstein hosted Bill and Melinda Gates in Paris says butler

Jeffrey Epstein entertained Bill and Melinda Gates, Steve Bannon, Prince Andrew at his Paris apartment claims butler, who was told by estate to move into the pied-a-terre days before probe

  • The man who spent the past 18 years working as Jeffrey Epstein's butler at his $8million Paris apartment is speaking about his boss' famous friends
  • Gabriel said that Prince Andrew, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Steve Bannon were also guests at the residence
  • A source close to Bannon said it 'never happened,' despite Gabriel claiming he drove the man around the city just last Fall
  • Gabriel said Bill and Melinda Gates had visited and while a rep did not respond to a request comment the couple has denied any personal ties in the past
  • There was also talk of the women Epstein had in his house, who Gabriel said he kept separate from other gusts
  • Gabriel is living in the pied-a-terre after being ordered to move in by the estate two days before Paris officials declared they were probing Epstein
Jeffrey Epstein welcomed a number of famous faces into his Paris apartment according to his butler, who spoke about his 18 years on the job in an interview with franceinfo.
'I served crowned heads, diplomats, businessmen and politicians,' said the butler, named only as Gabriel, who then listed Bill and Melinda Gates as two examples.
He said that Prince Andrew, former IsraeliPrime Minister Ehud Barak and Steve Bannon were also guests at the residence - as were a number of very young, very thin and very tall girls.
Those girls, whose he said in recent years all looked to be of age, were kept separate from the other guests at all times according to Gabriel.
He also revealed that members of his former boss' trust had called just two days before an investigation into Epstein was announced in Paris asking him to perform some tasks at the apartment.

Alleged ties: Jeffrey Epstein's butler Gabriel said Bill and Melinda Gates had visited the pedophile's Paris apartment (couple above in February)Prince AndrewJeffrey Epstein
Gabriel did not say how long these guests stayed and if it was always overnight or they just came by for a meal.
This is the first time there has ever been any mention of Bill and Melinda visiting one of Epstein's properties, but those other three men have all been to see the late pedophile at his Manhattan townhouse.
Gabriel specifically remembers Bannon, saying his visit came last Fall and noting; 'I was even his driver in Paris.'
DailyMail.com reached out to a publicist for Bill and Melinda, who did not respond to a request for comment.
Gates has been adamant however in the past that he had no personal relationship with the pedophile, though the two did spend time together.
A source close to Bannon meanwhile said 'it never happened.'
Flight records reveal that Gates flew with Epstein from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey to Palm Beach on March 1, 2013, one of the few flights that year where pilot Larry Viskoski recorded the name of a passenger.
A representative for the couple did not respond to a request for comment, and the pairing is an odd one given the work Melinda and the couple's foundation does for young women around the world.
Gabriel also spoke about the other company kept by his boss.
'As [Epstein] was very fond of massages, they were hired for it,'he explained.
'But I do not think that there women were then paid for sex.'
He also said Epstein was seeing women less and getting fewer massages in recent years.
'When I started working for him, he was getting a massage at least twice a day, sometimes three or four times,' said Gabriel, who noted that his boss' habit was an expensive one.
'But it was less common in recent years.'
Shut it down: A source close to Bannon (above in Paris in May)said it 'never happened,' despite Gabriel claiming he drove the man around the city just last FallNew digs: Gabriel is living in the pied-a-terre (above) after being ordered to move in by the estate two days before Paris officials declared they were probing Epstein
Epstein and Bill had spent time together previously, most notably at the annual Edge Dinner, which each year welcomes billionaires from around the world to come together and discuss advancements they are working in on the worlds of math, science and technology.
In fact, the 2013 dinner took place just two nights before they flew to Florida, though neither of the men are pictured attending that year's event.
Epstein did claim he worked as a financial adviser to Gates for some time, but that claim was later shot down by the Microsoft founder's representative.
The two men do however both own property in southern Florida.
Epstein had two homes including a $12 million Palm Beach mansion and Gates owns a five-property compound in Wellington that he purchased for a total of $40 million.
In a biography that was published on the website for Edge, but later deleted, it is noted that Epstein 'founded the Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation in 2000 to fund and support cutting edge science around the world.'
He is also said to be 'one of the largest supporters of individual scientists, including theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking and Nobel Laureates Gerard ‘t Hooft, David Gross and Frank Wilczek.'
In an alarming addition, the biography then states that Epstein has taken 'an active role in supporting education across the United States as well as philanthropy in the US Virgin Islands, where the foundation is based.'
He traveled to the 2002 dinner with guests including architect David Rockwell, author Michael Wolff, journalist Richard Cook, and literary agent John Brockman - who was also the editor of the Edge website.
Gates was not the only famous name to hop aboard Epstein's plane either, with the serial pedophile also welcoming famed newsman Walter Cronkite, architect Peter Marino and a passenger identified as John Roberts.

The Durham report will hopefully see justice finally done. Comey's, McCabe, Strozk etc all willingly lied to obtain illegal Fisa warrants to spy on trump...warrants whose only basis was an unverified Steele dossier that was paid for by Hillary Clinton to a former MI6 agent Steele.

It was all fiction...they knew it was..and used it to illegally obtain Fisa warrants behind closed doors. It was an attempted coup..and it failed miserably. Guess who were on the 4 person panel that decided NOT to prosecute Comey when this first came out? That's right..McCabe and Strozk. Both of which have since been fired for their deeds.

Heres the thing: Durham is a US attorney from Connecticut who is not beholden to the never Trumpers that were in charge before. He will get together a grand jury, or several, and present evidence before them to decide if the crooked agents and former deputy director of the FBI should be prosecuted.

All 3 should be charged and imprisoned. They willingly deceived a US judge behind closed doors with fake evidence to try and use a loophole from 9.11....FISA warrants...to spy on and cause the defeat of Trump before the election. Then they used the same false warrants to start the probe into "Russian collusion" in attempt at a coup on our rightly elected POTUS. They should be publicly shamed, given long prison sentences, and an example set that this can never ever happen again. Not to a Dem or a Republican. Ever.

Justice is not a weapon to be used against political opponents. Federal warrants and domestic spying are not weapons to be used against political opponents.

Justice will not be served until all3...and probably many more..are in prison.

Heed Truman's Call to Rein in the CIA
Peter Fenn • Jan. 28, 2015, at 5:55 p.m.
“There is something about the way the CIA has been functioning that is casting a shadow over our historic position and I feel that we need to correct it.” President Harry S. Truman wrote those words in an op-ed for the Washington Post on Dec.22, 1963, entitled “Limit CIA Role to Intelligence.”
This was exactly one month after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and a bit more than 10 years before the formation of the Church Committee, chaired by Sen. Frank Church, D-Idaho, to study abuses in the intelligence committee (which was a precursor to today's permanent Senate Select Committee on Intelligence). Now, more than 50 years after Truman's op-ed, the intelligence committee has released a report investigating the CIA's use of torture in the years after 9/11.
[ SEE: Editorial Cartoons on 2014 Congressional Elections ]
In his Post piece, Truman argued that the CIA had been "diverted from its original assignment” (intelligence collection and analysis) and had “become an operational and at times a policy-making arm of the Government.” It is now long past time to heed Truman’s words. There have been many calls over many decades to rein in the CIA and our intelligence agencies.
But, sadly, we seem to slip back into the same old patterns where the executive gives an order, or a wink and a nod, and the CIA goes off in secret to “do its thing.” Whether it was overthrowing governments beginning in the 1950s, the attempted assassination of Fidel Castro in the 1960s or creating secret prisons for torture in the 2000s, the pattern is truly disturbing; in some cases, it was so disturbing that the CIA conducted internal reviews of its own actions.
[ SEE: Editorial Cartoons on Torture and the CIA's Enhanced Interrogation Techniques ]
Before the Church Committee investigated assassination plots, spying on American citizens, drug testing at home and coup attempts abroad, former CIA directors James Schlesinger and William Colby had pulled together a study known as the Family Jewels. This attempted to lay out those areas where the agency had gone beyond its mandate and ventured into areas that were very likely illegal but, in any case, did not live up to the ethical and moral standards of the United States.
Nearly 40 years later, the CIA looked at its enhanced interrogation techniques (aka torture) and secret prisons in the still-classified Panetta Review. Just as with the Family Jewels, this study illustrates how the CIA under general orders from President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney “led to trouble and may have compounded our difficulties in several explosive areas,” as Truman wrote presciently so many years ago.
After the Church Committee investigation in 1975, our intelligence agencies were prohibited from assassinating foreign leaders and illegally spying on Americans, and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court was created to further ensure prevention of unreasonable searches and seizures. In addition, permanent congressional oversight committees were established to do just what Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s, D-Calif., committee did last year to investigate the CIA on torture.

[ SEE: Editorial Cartoons on Barack Obama ]
The problem now is that Congress and President Barack Obama are reluctant to put in force serious remedies that will prevent systematic torture from ever happening again. There is an effort by Feinstein to introduce legislation, but without strong backing by Obama and with a Republican-controlled Congress, there is little likelihood for its passage. It is also doubtful that we will be holding the perpetrators accountable or releasing the Panetta report anytime soon.
We need a new Church Committee or serious presidential commission with staff and subpoena power to examine the roles and responsibilities of the various intelligence agencies and to propose reforms and updated legal remedies. The new world in which we live, one that involves growing terror threats, a sophisticated and unprecedented ability to monitor communications and collect data and the commitment of vast resources to intelligence, demands far greater oversight.
Truman had it right so many years ago when he called for an examination of the CIA’s role. Our modern world makes this even more necessary for all our intelligence agencies. The bottom line is if Congress and Obama continue with politics as usual, Cheney may have the last word when it comes to torture and other actions: “I’d do it again in a minute.”
