A more in-depth look at the massive release of Jeffrey Epstein documents by CNN, published today, focuses on the activities and events that occurred on his private island, and further reveals the culture of depravity and willful blindness regarding his abuse of young women and girls.
Among Big Tech icons, NLPC has highlighted the visits and relationships that Microsoft founder Bill Gates and company board member Reid Hoffman had with Epstein. One who received less attention was Sergey Brin (pictured above in 2005), co-founder of Google, which is now under parent company Alphabet. From CNN’s report:
A CNN review of thousands of emails, photos, videos and documents from the DOJ files adds critical new details to how Epstein transformed the island into his personal fiefdom – and highlights warning signs of the terrible abuse perpetrated there that some staffers and victims say was happening in plain sight.
The testimony outlined in the DOJ documents calls into question claims by some influential visitors to Epstein’s island who have denied knowing about the financier’s sex trafficking – and shows several of those guests boasting of sexual exploits or engaging in crude conversations with the convicted sex offender.
“The activities were so obvious and bold that anyone spending any significant time at one of Epstein’s residences would have clearly been aware of what was going on,” one victim stated in a court document.
Those warning signs include photographs of naked young girls on his walls, airport workers who reported Epstein had traveled with girls who appeared underage, and an interior decorator who said he’d been asked to design one of the island’s bedrooms with pink furnishings and bunk beds.
Some staffers and victims have also called out specific Epstein guests, the documents show, such as Google co-founder Sergey Brin and 23andMe co-founder Anne Wojcicki, who both spent a day on the island in 2007, according to a victim’s statement. “They observed that we did not speak and that we remained mute,” the victim, whose name is not included in the public document, wrote in the statement. “They witnessed the trauma on our faces and in our eyes. Sergey and Anne witnessed our souls and bodies riddled with fear. They said nothing. They did nothing.”
Brin and Wojcicki did not respond to requests for comment.
Brin and Wojcicki married in May 2007 in the Bahamas and separated in 2013, reportedly after Brin had struck up an adulterous relationship with a Google employee who was 13 years his junior. The pair divorced in 2015. Wojcicki is the younger sister of the late Susan Wojcicki, who was the former CEO of Google subsidiary YouTube.
Brin stepped down as President of Alphabet in 2019, following an onslaught of allegations of sexual harassment against Google and its executives. Among those accused was former Alphabet CEO Eric Schmidt, who reportedly has enjoyed the company of different women during his tech leadership career in what has been called an “open marriage” with wife Wendy.
Brin himself has been accused of contributing to the free-for-all culture. As NLPC recounted back in December 2019:
According to interviews published in the 2018 book Valley of Genius: The Uncensored History of Silicon Valley (As Told by the Hackers, Founders, and Freaks Who Made It Boom), which details the “countercultural” origins of some of the best-known big tech companies, Brin was more than happy to let the workplace become a free-for-all.
“Sergey’s the Google playboy,” said Charlie Ayers, Google’s first executive chef, in the tell-all. “He was known for getting his fingers caught in the cookie jar with employees that worked for the company in the masseuse room. He got around.”
According to Ayers, “H.R. told me that Sergey’s response to it was, ‘Why not? They’re my employees.’”
The company’s first human resources manager, Heather Cairns, added, “And we didn’t have locks, so you can’t help it if you walk in on people if there’s no lock. Remember, we’re a bunch of twenty-somethings except for me—ancient at 35, so there’s some hormones and they’re raging.”
NLPC Chairman Peter Flaherty presented a shareholder proposal at Alphabet’s annual meeting in 2019, which called upon the company to review and strengthen its policies related to sexual harassment. Both Brin and co-founder Larry Page own a majority of “super-voting” shares in Alphabet, so any and all shareholder proposals that seek to hold them accountable — which means all of them — get shot down.
Sounds like Brin and his Alphabet colleagues had (and probably have) a nice bulletproof habit of looking the other way when it comes to taking advantage of women, especially those younger and far less powerful than themselves — the type that would make a perfect friend of Jeffrey Epstein.
Same goes for Bill Gates, who has admitted to extramarital affairs thanks to his relationship with the pedophilic islander, and Reid Hoffman, where a preponderance of the evidence indicates he and MIT fundraising pal Joi Ito knew Epstein was toxic but associated with him anyway.
Upon further thought, Hoffman’s “Google before going” excuse of ignorance about his visit to Epstein’s island is even dumber than we realized.
