Bruh why.. how was this dudes reach into everything
When you're a global criminal organization, you ensure immunity by blackmailing and/or extorting every single person in a position of power as much as possible. There's a reason these monsters have gotten away with it--and continue to get away with it--for so damn long
Also, if you're someone who is seeking power, you do everything you can to suck up to people with it. There are plenty of people in every field who are willing to put up with, or do, horrible things to be treated like they're special.
He did get his start in education. Given a job he was unqualified for by [traitorous] former AG Bill Barr's father (who also wrote creepy pedo sci fi novels)
pretty much. Basically everyone who is of note is implicated in the files. It's ridiculous
I feel you could get into the list by sending a letter asking for funding for some science work
I'd be curious if you find any cold call messages asking for science funding in the documents release. From what I see, it's people who are socializing benifiting from associating with powerful people. I've also seen an email where someone asked him if he would be interested in upgrading the computer labs for a school he clearly made the calculation that he wasn't getting anything out of it and so gave an excuse for why he couldn't contribute.
