Wow. But not in the way you think.

Your reporting on this was highlighted by Corrine Straight on Really American Media today.

absolutely incredible work - i wish everything you write was being pounced upon by mainstream outlets and amplified globally on every half hourly news bulletin

I have two questions: one: why do they need actual studies to prove the largest porn users are religious fundamentalist. Duh! Two: In the past, is there proof that any of the videos were leaked to discredit anyone who didnt pkay ball? I'd love to know this.

Excellent article. Reposted.

A third currency is very valuable: validation.

Famous people, beautiful people, rich people, accomplished people.

A Noam Chomsky is great in his field, but wants to leverage that notoriety to meet the beautiful, famous and rich people. Billionaires get to be flocked by girls who wouldn't have given them the time of day when they were simply nerds. Professional contacts translates to jobs and funding.

This also might help explain why some Orthodox Jews have aligned with the evangelical Protestants

I agree Alisa, and Epstein had a third track, violence undermining both of the other two.

Makes me wonder how these men could be so stupid. They didn’t think they might be blackmailed?

Are you sure you are not a Civil Engineer, because you create the straightest and smoothest roads that allows us all to arrive at the destination with such ease. Incredible writing! Keep pulling those threads…..

Congratulations Alisa! I just saw an MSN blurb when I opened my browser that talks about this article. I'm glad you're getting noticed by other outlets, even if they are usually pushing mainstream pablum.

You did it again- straight arrow bullseye into the heart of the matter. No one else could have done this so well, or probably at all.

Can’t wait to figure out how that math makes sense.

I don’t care Republican or democrat, if they participated, they’re guilty. Super rich donors give to both sides of the aisle these days, hedging their bets, I guess.

Excellent reporting as usual. Good info in comments also, but I hate it when people just joining start trying to inform you before reading your back issues. Oh well, I just have to get used to it. I know you are very patient with them.
