British billionaire warned Epstein was a ‘sexual deviant’ decades before FBI closed in on the abuser
Sir James Goldsmith’s links to Hilton Head, South Carolina, adds to mystery of Jane Doe 4, who claimed she was abused by Epstein in the 1980s For Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire Goldsmith family was a gateway to elite society and he wanted to be in their circle. The disgraced financier, who died in prison in 2019 facing sex-trafficking charges, longed for a billionaire’s lifestyle and cultivated the family’s friends, bankers, business associates and advisers.

I saw a video that’s getting a decent amount of circulation on Instagram that insinuates that a new Nobel laureate might have had some dealings with Epstein on the basis of the fact that his name appears in the files because he attended the World Science Festival. THIS IS AN UNHINGED CONCLUSION.

Fusionism had many inputs but above all it was heavily shaped by the Cold War. Social conservatism and free-market ideas were conjoined (never entirely comfortably) only by having a perceived shared enemy in communism, as in actual Stalin and Mao atheistic communism. That's not coming back.

Reagan was elected 46 years ago. Fusionism as an ideology is 20+ years older than that, it's from the 1950s. Talking about these things as the possible future of the GOP today is like somebody in 1980 talking about the need to get back to being the party of Warren Harding.
