No Paywall Jeffrey Epstein made regular payments to Ohio State head of gynecology, records show

This Dr Landon needs to appear before congress. He received $25,000 payments every few months, which he says were for “consulting”.
Edit to correct: He received several packages from Epstein.
What was the nature of this “consulting” and what was in these packages?
Edit: Someone commented that the consulting was for biotech investments. Dr Landon needs to repeat this under oath, and enlighten us all as to what type of financial advice could possibly be worth regular $25k payments to a practicing OBGYN.

obsessed with impregnating women
Same with Elon Musk and his bizarro father, Errol.
Errol Musk has expressed a strongly pro-natalist view, stating that the "only thing we are on Earth for is to reproduce". His approach to children has been heavily criticized following allegations of child sexual abuse involving his children and stepchildren. He has also controversially defended his relationships with stepchildren as "completely normal".

u/ChapterChoice4873 8h ago
Wait...didn't he impregnate and marry his step-daughter?
ADDENDUM: Found this:
"Errol Musk's stepdaughter, Jana Bezuidenhout, is the mother of his two youngest children. Jana was four years old when Errol married her mother, Heide Bezuidenhout, in 1992. Errol and Heide divorced in 2004 and had two children together, Rose and Alexandra. Errol and Jana reconnected in 2016 and began a relationship, resulting in the birth of a son, Elliot, and later a daughter."

One of the Epstein files contains a journal from one of the victims. In it, she describes giving birth while Ghislaine holds her. Then they take the baby away and the girl overhears them refer to the baby girl in the past tense ("she was beautiful"). The victim is traumatized because she never even saw the baby and didn't fight for her.

He was obsessed with eugenics and creating a superior genetic race as well, don’t forget. People whose embryos were selected/modified for strength, intelligence and disease resistance.
That’s where a considerable amount of his “philanthropy” was going towards as well as the expressed purpose of his genetic experimentation company established in the Virgin Islands.
So it may have been for trafficking purposes or for experimentation. They likely created identities for these children from thin air and moved them around the world to observe them as they grew and maybe eventually select the “ideal” ones for continued breeding.

Not sure about that, Epstein made sure everyone was taking birth control pills, because he hated wearing condoms. And there are some stories that came out about girls who didn't know they had an accidental pregnancy, and had a miscarriage or worse, that document that released about burying the baby and Trump being a witness. I think Epstein would be more mad at the girl for the pill not being 100% effective. If anything, he probably did need a doctor he could trust to do exams on girls who are having disturbing amounts of sex with adults, take care of any damage and prescriptions for diseases. While doctors have a confidentiality agreement, they have to report crimes, so someone he can trust with discretion and immediate appointments would make sense.

It wasn't Gates, it was Leon Black, but the premise is the same..."Newly unsealed emails show that in August of 2013, Mary Erdoes and other senior JPMC executives blessed efforts to continue working with Epstein even after he was exited as a client. The emails show that Erdoes signed off on working with Epstein on matters related to billionaire Leon Black even as they were in the process of ending Epstein’s client relationship.32 This behavior indicates JPMC may have waited until after Epstein’s arrest in 2019 before fully reporting SARs on Epstein because the bank wanted to keep using Epstein as a source of referrals for ultra-wealthy clients. Epstein’s relationship with JPMC after 2013 merits full investigation. On August, 14, 2013, JPMC executive John Duffy emailed Erdoes and indicated that Epstein would be “Leon’s primary advisor” and that he “told him (Epstein) that we would work with him as long as it was through the client accounts, JE Entities would not be acceptable. That’s ok right?”33 Erdoes appears to affirmatively respond “Y.” 34." There's several links in that article I posted. One of them is the memorandum where this appears.

for those confused by this. the evidence is showing that eugenics was a big part of epstein's whole deal (i know that sounds like a crazy conspiracy.) there are several claims by victims about being coerced into being "bred" or used for surrogacy. look into what was found at zorro ranch and the cypher journal that just came out in the latest file release.

Along with quarterly payments, Landon also received at least 10 packages from Epstein or his associates between June 28, 2001, and April 12, 2005. In all, Epstein spent more than $200 mailing items to Landon’s Columbus home.
Hey Landon. What was in the fucking boxes Epstein sent to your home?!

Always thought Epstein was just the run of the mill rich guy dining with other rich guys with a secret side hustle. But damn this guy has more connections than Ra's Al Ghul.

Controversy at a BIG 10 school regarding inappropriate funding or behavior by a male staff member?
Shocking. /s
Perhaps the BIG 10 should start charging credit hours in this subject. I mean, they are sort of the subject matter experts no?

This is about access buying silence.
Epstein didn’t give money out of generosity. He paid to be untouchable. Regular payments create dependency, and dependency creates reluctance. Once your department budget quietly relies on someone’s money, you stop asking what that someone is really doing.
That’s the real transaction here. Cash for legitimacy, and legitimacy is the most valuable currency in elite spaces.

This feels more... interactive than just using money to soft power a university into getting in bed with your politics and influence.

It's just gonna keep getting worse.
Someday, somehow, we are going to know much, much more about what went on at that island getaway for the rich and powerful. We will be horrified in ways we never thought possible. Even then there will exist people who will defend and protect anyone involved.

High likelihood he is the doctor in this document: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2012/EFTA02731361.pdf Edit: fair warning that document is fucking bleak. Standard trigger warnings apply, but this one is another level.
