Inside the mysterious Manhattan apartment building on East 66th Street, where underage models, lawyers, and key players in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking circle all live…
August 5, 2019
For decades, Epstein has run some of his operations quietly out of a squat Second Avenue residential building owned by his brother, Mark Epstein, and frequently visited by the former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. According to property records and court filings, Jeffrey Epstein has long housed girlfriends, associates, employees, and businesses in a handful of the 150-odd units at 301 East 66th St. owned on paper by his brother's development firm, Ossa Properties...
Some of Epstein's activity at the apartment building appears to be business-related: New York state corporate registrations tie 9 East 71, an LLC named after his townhouse, and NES LLC, which actually owns the townhouse and pays his pilots' paychecks, to the building. Over the years, he's assigned units in the building to his house managers, and used two one-bedrooms to house his pilots during New York layovers...
Over the years, a number of Epstein's friends have also called 301 East 66th St. home, including his his ex-girlfriend, the socialite Eva Andersson (who is now married to hedge fund star and Epstein confidant Glenn Dubin); and his former business partner, MC2 Models founder Jean-Luc Brunel... Then there were the underage models. Many of them were foreign and scouted by Brunel, according to a 2010 deposition given by a former MC2 bookkeeper named Maritza Vasquez. (Vasquez could not be reached for comment, but her sworn statement was supported by Epstein's former house manager, Alfredo Rodriguez, whose annotations of Epstein's address book include "Apt. for models" next to the 66th Street entry.)

CodeMonkeyZ clarifies that Bitmitigate was taken down:
****Actually, its not an attack. It seems @bitmitigate might have just been deplatformed for hosting 8chan.

****Going to give bitmitigate some time to find a solution for their peering problem. If we are still down in a few hours then maybe 8chan will just go clearnet and we can brave DDOS attacks like Ishmael on the Pequod.

Trump Calls For ‘Red Flag’ Laws To Stop ‘Dangerous’ Individuals From Buying Guns…
August 5, 2019
Red flag laws are unconstitutional and a major let down. We should be honest about that so the WhiteHouse has a clear understanding that we and others wish they do not cross the line and become what we voted against. This will just ban every person that gets any kind of help for depression, anxiety or panic disorder from being able to buy a gun. That number is very big. They are going to stretch this beyond belief. On top of that, this will also stop people from going out and getting help. The 2A is a fundamental right and red flag laws aren't the answer. Going after the fraudulent practice of Psychotherapy, the liberal distribution of psychotropic drugs, big ph4rm4, and lobbying is the real answer.
French inventor successfully crossed the English Channel on a hoverboard…
August 5, 2019
Zapata departed from Sangatte, France and arrived in Dover, England 22 minutes later, reaching speeds of up to 106 miles per hour during the 22-mile trip. “We made a machine three years ago,” he said after landing, “and now, we’ve crossed the Channel, it’s crazy.”
The Guardian reports that the trip wasn’t a continuous one: because he only carried a 10-minute supply of fuel on his back, he had to make a pit stop at the halfway mark to refuel...
