Epstein Met Moot
One of the central internet mysteries of the last 15 years is why 4chan creator Christopher Poole reversed course in 2011 and brought back the site’s politics board, which is called /pol/, or “Politically Incorrect.” It would become the staging ground for Gamergate, the 2016 Trump campaign, and the far-right populism wave that swept the world in the back half of the 2010s.
A version of /pol/ was attempted two times before it finally stuck. First, as /n/, which was meant to be a section for news content. Which ultimately became the “transportation” board in 2008. And then again, in 2010, when Poole launched /new/, largely as a way to quarantine the overwhelming amount of support on the site for Ron Paul’s 2008 presidential campaign. Poole shutdown /new/ in January 2011, telling users at the time, “As for /new/, anybody who used it knows exactly why it was removed. When I re-added the board last year, I made a note that if it devolved into /stormfront/, I'd remove it.” (Stormfront is one of the oldest Neo-Nazi communities on the web.)
So it has never made much sense as to why Poole would ban /new/ for being a racist hell hole and then, barely a year later, launch /pol/, a board specifically designed to be a racist hell hole. But buried inside the newest batch of files related to the Epstein investigation is a possible hint as to what made Poole change his mind. He met with Epstein the day before /pol/ was created.

On October 20th, 2011, Boris Nikolic, a venture capitalist and former advisor to Bill Gates, sent Epstein the Wikipedia page for Christopher Poole, writing, “There is a cool guy (KID) that you should meet.” Four days later, Nikolic followed up, asking Epstein, “How did you like moot? He is very sensitive so be gentile.” (Poole’s username for years was moot or m00t.) “I liked [him a lot]. I drove him home, he is very bright,” Epstein replied. Nikolic went on to write that, “he will be a friend” and that he is “one of the greatest hackers.”
According to Epstein’s emails, that appears to be the only time Epstein successfully made contact with Poole. It seems like organizing a simple lunch meeting with Poole was a genuine nightmare for Epstein and his team. Nikolic said he planned to meet Poole again in early November. And according to a reminder Epstein set, it seems like he planned to meet Poole at the same time. There’s also a separate email thread from October 31st with an unidentified correspondent, where the redacted sender takes credit for introducing Nikolic and Poole, writing, “I introduced Boris to Chris Poole and got them talking, encouraged Boris to get to know him. Boris said the two of you really hit it off. ;-)” Epstein had subsequent meetings scheduled with Poole on November 23rd, January 27th, 2012, which Poole canceled last minute, and, again, in February. There are nearly a hundred emails going back and forth about how Poole kept flaking on them.
But Epstein didn’t forget about 4chan. We can’t say for sure if he was an active user, but, in 2017, he sent Karyna Shuliak, his girlfriend at the time, a 4chan link containing Five Nights At Freddy’s porn.

Meanwhile in March 2012, Bannon, following the death of conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart, was installed as the editor-in-chief of Breitbart News. In 2014, 4chan’s video game board, /v/, and /pol/ started lighting up about the Gamergate conspiracy theory.
Milo Yiannopoulos, then a young tech writer for Breitbart, would transform Gamergate from fringe message board drama into the cornerstone of the global far-right movement by repackaging it in articles optimized for Facebook traffic.
Which was perfect timing, because Epstein was beginning to work his way into Silicon Valley.

Ha! It figures. All the good times on that board are long gone and are instead filled with the psychos previously mentioned. So glad I left last year never, EVER to return.
Fuck you, Epstein (who is still alive), I got off your "goyim" plantation.

>Evangelicalism is government psyop
>Epstein, a very close friend of Trump is to blame for /pol/
>Dozens of rightwing commentators were confirmed to be on US and Russian goverment payrolls during 2024 and 2025
The right are the fucking deepstate confirmed for the umpteenth time.

Pizzagate and Qanon has Bannon's fingerprints all over it. It's the type of shit he's been pulling for years and the leaks confirmed Epstein, Thiel and Bannon all worked on pushing forward Brexit (and I suspect one of the big reasons it was a major fuckup afterwards was deliberate). One of Bannon's tricks is accusing the opposition of doing shit he's actually involved in. Especially useful as 4chan were compromised as we saw correpsondence between M00t and Epstein and Epstein's glee about how it could be used to manipulate people.
Now, throw in a little bit of truth like the Clintons being involved and suddenly not only have you whipped up people into a fervor against child sex trafficking you've effectively redirected that fervor and scrutiny away from yourself and your allies.
Is everything that got said with Qanon and Pizzagate true, absolutely not. But again there are enough kernels of truth mixed in to make it credible. So the most likely thing IMO now that these files dropped is that the ones who leaked the Pizzagate stories were involved with Epstein and his shit, or were one step removed (like Steve Bannon). They were acussing political opponents of doing shit they themselves were guilty of and had enough intimate knowledge of the inner workings of child trafficking to make the story plausible.
Fun Fact: Pizzagate was real, it was just Republicans involved.
tl;dr: Accusations are Admissions. Those who shout the loudest have the most to hide.

But the side of america that lost the civil war has always been willing to act like violent animals and sell their souls for the most base and venal ends, it's just that this time they're being exploited by forces greater than themselves

I’ve always thought moot made /pol/ as a containment board to keep the retards off the rest of the site. I very much doubt a person like Epstein came up with the idea of a new board, I doubt he’d know what a board is for a start
