Sci-Fi & Fantasy Girlz discussion

OK, here's a really weird, truth stranger than fiction kind of thing.

Many of you will know that Donald Trump has an Attorney General named William (Bill) Barr. Bill Barr's father's name was... Donald.

That's not the weird part.

What's weird is that Donald Barr, who passed away in 2004, was something of a scribbler. He penned a few books on politics, some sort of travelogue type things, and some sci-fi. You can see a list here on GR: Donald Barr. The weird thing is that one of those books, arguably his most successful, Space Relations: A Slightly Gothic Interplanetary Tale, features a few scenes involving some pretty seedy topics, mostly having to do with erotic servitude. (Read: sex slaves.)

Here's some excerpts:







Now, I haven't read this thing, nor even checked it out in context other than those pages, but... OK, that's some weird stuff, man.

This got brought up to me in part in relation to the whole Epstein case, as in "Isn't it interesting that Barr's father wrote this freaky book with this sexual enslavement component, and here's Barr defending Donald Trump when he's supposed to be keeping Jeffrey Epstein alive to stand trial for trafficking underage girls...."

Now, I don't personally think you can connect those dots as directly as that. It's kind of like Lincoln having a secretary named Kennedy and Kennedy having a secretary named Lincoln... but with sex slaves added to the mix somehow, and with crypto-conservative themes presented like a roundabout anti-abortion message.

But it's weird.

Also, the mineral the slaves mine is called "Weinsteinite". I shit you not.

As for any "conspiracy theory" about Epstein's "suicide" in prison, I can only say that it's also weird that AG Barr the Younger was unable to keep THE most high profile prisoner alive, who ran a sexual servitude ring with connections to his boss Donald Trump. There's conspiracy theories and there are conspiracy theories, but there's a whole next level of conspiracy level involved there. I mean, I've "joked" that so many powerful people in various world governments wanted Epstein dead that I'm only surprised there wasn't a fucking missile strike. Oh, I don't think they necessarily whacked the guy... but maybe. At the very least they made it awful easy for him to check himself out.

In any case, has anybody ever heard of this thing? I'm actually morbidly curious about it. Those screenshots look like they come from some on-line source. Google books maybe. I'm going to poke around for a bit, but I'm not forking over money since even a few pennies on the dollar might in a roundabout way wind up in AG Bill Barr's eventual legal defense fund.

OK, it gets even weirder.

Apparently, Donald Barr was the headmaster of the Dalton School around the time he wrote that sci-fi novel. The DS is a prep school, funneling the kids of those who can afford such things into the Ivy League colleges where they can become productive members of the American Brahman class. During his tenure at Dalton, Donald Barr hired a math teacher who was only 21-years-old (only slightly older than the students he'd teach) and of dubious credentials since he was a college dropout at the time. That teacher's name was Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein's innappropriate behavior towards students was noted at the time, but that didn't send up enough red flags—if anyone even cared about such things—to prevent him from meeting Alan Greenberg, the chief executive officer of Bear Stearns and launch his financial career after he was fired from Dalton for poor performance.
