Images, undated and uncaptioned, include Vladimir Nabokov lines written on women and show Bill Gates and Noam Chomsky
Democrats on the House oversight committee have released a new batch of photos from the estate of convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, as the deadline for the justice department to release its files related to Epstein looms.
The images, released on Thursday, are undated and lack captions or context. Among them are photographs of what appear to be lines from Vladimir Nabokov’s novel Lolita written on different parts of a woman’s body.
In a statement after the release Robert Garcia, a US representative and ranking member of the committee on oversight and government reform, said that “oversight Democrats will continue to release photographs and documents from the Epstein estate to provide transparency for the American people.”
“As we approach the deadline for the Epstein Files Transparency Act, these new images raise more questions about what exactly the Department of Justice has in its possession,” he said.
U.S. Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino, the guy that wears a Nazi costume as part of his official uniform has a favorite movie and book. That favorite book AND movie is Starship Troopers.
Think he understands that one is a satire of the other?
These guys aren’t big on media literacy.
In the defense of Heinlein all his books are weird regardless of the politics within, looking at you Stranger from a strange land. Seriously that whole book goes from Heinleins vaguely horny thought experiment to psychic sex cult real fucken quick, also why do I get the feeling Heinlein and Roddenberry shared a surprising number of friends.
Probably because Heinlein was a hack that stole unashamedly from everyone around him. His politics are literally just a reflection of whatever was most popular with whoever he was associating with at the time. He went from being a new deal democrat to libertarian because he changed who he was dating.
I think his closest literary “friend” was Philip K Dick who was grateful that Heinlein (who never actually was friends with) once loaned him money.
