As a perfect facilitator, Jeffrey Epstein extended the perks of his sociopathic zeal-the kind of fun suitable for the world of dark web-to his peers. He offered a glimpse into some of the world's bigwigs without their masks

The Master Manipulator

MARCH 8, 2017. Deepak Chopra, an Indian-origin, USbased alternative medicine promoter, started an email conversation with US financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on form and formlessness. At one point, Epstein asked, "Does a cell have form? Is a cell aware? Does it have emotion? Does it perform actions?" These deeply scientific and philosophical questions were supplemented by another curious one. "Did you find me a cute Israeli? :)"

Chopra's answers were interesting. "Cells are human constructs. No such thing! (The) universe is (a) human construct. No such thing," he wrote, implying that neither cells nor the universe was real; they were human constructs. Then, possibly answering whether cells have awareness, Chopra wrote, "Cute girls are aware when they make noises."

"Thank god," replied Epstein. Chopra elaborated his proposition: "God is a construct. Cute girls are real." The conversation was heading exactly where they both wanted it to. "So, when the girl says, 'oh my god'...?" Epstein asked. "That's divine transcendence," answered Chopra. Epstein quickly disputed that divinity: "Oh, I thought she was just referring to me." Chopra affirmed and summed up: "That's because you are God in drag."

imageIn essence, sex, especially with cute girls, is the only real thing.

This conversation took place when allegations related to Epstein's sexual offences had resurfaced in the media due to new court cases, especially of Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's key accusers, reviving the legal battle against his sexual exploitation of minors in 2015.
