The rabbi who jumped from the 44th floor and his rapist son; spiritual reading

Decades before his close friend and associate Jeffrey Epstein killed himself in jail, financier Leon Black grieved the loss of his father, Eli, who committed suicide to avoid a scandal of his own.

Eli Black took his own life in February 1975, when Leon was just 24, leaping through the window of his midtown office after smashing the glass with his briefcase. 

At the time, Eli – a failed rabbi who moved to the US from Poland with his parents – was the chairman of the multi-billion dollar company United Brands.

*** Only with the jews can a failed rabbi (a clergyman supposedly dedicated to God?) quickly become a giant businessman…. friends in high places.

The company’s prized product were the Chiquita bananas it imported from Honduras.

Black, 53, killed himself in February 1975. Company lawyers had disclosed how he oversaw a bribe to a Honduran economic minister to lower export taxes on the bananas

Hurricane Fifi had flattened the fields where the fruit grew and the tax on importing them had skyrocketed.

To try to get around it, Black oversaw a bribe to the Honduras Economic Minister.

When he took his own life by jumping from the window of his 44th floor Manhattan office, the company’s lawyers had disclosed it to federal investigators.

Black, eager to support his artist mother and his sister, turned to Wall Street. 

‘After my father died, we were pretty much wiped out, financially, as a family. So I decided to give finance a try,’ he said, according to Air Mail. 

By the time he and Epstein became entangled in business, he had built a personal net worth of $10.5 billion.

Now his many payments to Epstein are under scrutiny from the Senate Finance Committee, and he has been accused of raping two women in Epstein’s home.

He also paid prosecutors in the US Virgin Islands $62 million to avoid involvement in any future litigation involving Epstein or his estate. 

*** JdN Hunh? Sounds like a bribe to prosecutors! “I pay you; you drop all charges.” That is what the Mafia did!

Black has denied all wrongdoing and claims his $158 million payments to Epstein were legitimate.

Yet more financial ties between Leon Black and Jeffrey Epstein have been uncovered on top of the $158million he paid him for ‘tax advice’ and $62million he gave US Virgin Island prosecutors to avoid being involved in litigation against the late pedophile’s estate.

A lengthy Air Mail investigation published this weekend also reveals that in 2015, Black donated $10million to Gratitude America, a charity run by Jeffrey Epstein with the vague mission of ‘supporting the expression of gratitude for the ideals of America.’

It was the only donation the charity had received at the time despite having existed for three years.

In the same month, Guzel Ganieva – a Russian model who was Black’s mistress – received the first of what was supposed to be many $100,000 monthly payments to stay quiet about their relationship.

Leon Black was 24 when his father died

It came from a mysterious ‘E trust’, whereas all of the other money she’d received from Black was from his bank account.

In total, she was due to receive $20million from Black as part of their deal.

In exchange, she signed an NDA agreeing to never speak of their romance, which involved meet-ups at an Upper East Side apartment across the street from where Black lives with his wife, Debra, and their children.

Guzen Ganieva went public with rape claims against Black in 2021, six years after agreeing to an NDA deal that would have paid her $20 million total

Ganieva was given extravagant cash gifts, a Steinway piano and treated to expensive evenings out with Black.

He had also agreed to help her obtain British legal status and was paying for her to go to college too.

In 2021, after Epstein’s death and the #MeToo movement that took down Harvey Weinstein, who frequently transacted in NDAs with accusers, Ganieva went public with her rape and harassment allegations.

She first tweeted her claims, then – after he accused her of lying – sued for defamation.

In the lawsuit, she shared more details of their affair.

They had ‘countless’ meals out in Manhattan where she said he showed no regard or concern for his wife becoming aware of his infidelity.

She also described the alleged sexual abuse, though many of her specific claims were redacted.

She called Black a ‘sadist’ whose sexual proclivities were ‘abnormal’. 

Black publicly admitting his affair with Ganieva, which he called ‘foolish’, but he denied the rape allegations.

The case was eventually dismissed.

Ganieva’s lawsuit is one of three to have been directed towards Black by a woman who says he raped her. 

The other two, filed by Cheri Pierson in 2022 and a Jane Doe with mosaic Down syndrome who says he raped her when she was 16, are still being litigated. They both say the attacks happened at Jeffrey Epstein’s mansion.

In 2016, a year after he gave Epstein’s charity $10million and Ganieva received the first of her $100k payments from the ‘E trust’, money was transferred back from Epstein to Black, according to Air Mail.

It was in the form of a donation from Epstein’s Gratitude America charity to Black’s Melanoma research charity in the amount of $225,000.

Because Black was the sole donor to Epstein’s charity, he effectively donated the funds to his own organization.

…..Spiritual reading for August 8

Today is an ideal day to lie low and stay slow. Work at resting in the center if you must work at all. Try not to move too far or too fast. Try not to accomplish much unless it is of an ethereal nature. In that case, things will shift if it is time for them to shift, seemingly without effort, and will do so most probably if you are quiet and unengaged in worldly activity.

Now, we don’t mean that you need to stretch out on the beach all day today to benefit (although it wouldn’t be such a bad thing to do), but rather that you should try to take a stretch-out-on-the-beach-all-day attitude toward your time.

If you can see it as both infinite and utterly insignificant, if you can see it as the illusion it is, then you will not worry about what is next and when it will occur. Instead, you can allow yourselves to soak up the sun (or the energy of whatever beneficial sort you find radiating near you) languidly, without concern for the next moment or the next day or the next thing you might have on your mind.

In fact, an empty mind is something you might strive for today if you feel drawn to do. The truth is that this is a day which offers wonderful opportunity for replenishment and recharging, but to receive it you must adopt a fairly passive stance. Lie low, move slow.

If you can stop generating fields of activity (physical, mental or emotional) around yourself, the passage and reception of new and rejuvenating
energies will be much easier.

So do work with the picture (if it is at all attracive to you) of basking somewhere in the sun. Just soaking up what is offered. It is free, it is all around and your only job is to stop and allow it to penetrate, to
permeate your being.

For many of you, this is one of the biggest challenges. It is easier for you to dive in, work hard, analyze, attack and ultimately, triumph.

Today, as is more often the case than we think you tend to realize, the job is much the opposite. We have been saying (perhaps to the point that you no longer wish to hear it) that you are guided, that all is well and that your struggles with intent and direction are often counter-productive.

Today offers you an opportunity to practice opening and trusting, letting go and being a receptor, a vessel, which is so important right now.

But without the necessity of acting. Or of anything beyond minimal action. This is so much less difficult.

So, please, just relax and be happy today. Or be sad. Or angry, or whatever it is that you find you are.

Strong, weak, joyous, downtrodden—it doesn’t matter. Don’t fix it, don’t take credit for it and don’t do anything with it. Just let it flow. If you can slow down and allow yourself to be filled, you may be surprised by evening, or tomorrow morning, at the change in your core energy.

Look for that change, and know that it happens as you choose to receive and be filled.

We love you and hope that you are not overly challenged by a day of vacation on the energetic front. In fact, we urge you to enjoy and let go of all worries for the day. All is well. We send many blessings.
