*I certainly understand why you're reluctant to speak your mind, and I
admire you for standing up to a powerful cult. That took guts.  *

*Exactly. The thing I don't understand, but have been trying to since 2016,
is that I always thought if you wanted to start a cult you needed to be
very charismatic, but Jeffrey Epstein's best friend is, to my eyes, just
about the most uncharismatic unlikable man alive, and yet he started a cult
that is even more powerful than the one that L Ron Hubbard started. Oh
well, at least the cult of personality that Ghislaine Maxwell's benefactor
started isn't as all encompassing as the one that Kim Jong Un started in
North Korea. At least not yet.*
