Published One Year Ago Today: The Real MIT Scandal (Before Attention Was Shifted Entirely to Richard Stallman)

Related: Mansion of Pedophilia - Part II: Dr. Stallman Defamed in the Media One Day After Request Made for King County Sheriff’s Office to Divulge Information About Pedophilia in Home of Bill Gates

Summary: Before the mainstream media decided that some E-mail from Richard Stallman was the biggest MIT scandal the following media coverage and revelations happened to have gone public (a few days before attention was shifted to Stallman)

THIS was published almost exactly one year ago (regarding Epstein and Gates working together to whiten Epstein's name, even after it was well known what he had done). Notice that the real MIT scandal was a lot simpler: a known pedophile was passing money to MIT and MIT accepted that money, noting it was actually coming from Bill Gates (Epstein was a longtime friend of his by that point):

One month later (turned out Gates and Epstein were extremely close):

Yes, that close to Epstein. Managing his wealth...
