Every man has a hobby or two. Some, like stamp collecting or bowling, reveal very little about his character. Others … well, let me point you in the direction of Donald Barr, father of former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr.
When Donald wasn’t doing his 9-to-5 work as headmaster at the exclusive New York City private school Dalton, he was busy writing some rather peculiar science fiction. His 1973 novel, "Space Relations: A Slightly Gothic Interplanetary Tale," envisions a universe where the elite indulge in the most depraved of activities.
On the planet Kossar, trafficking, sexual debauchery, and the enslavement of human beings are the norm. The ruling oligarchs treat people as commodities, breeding sex slaves and subjecting them to hormone manipulation to satisfy their perverse desires.
Criminally unqualified
This reads very much like a sci-fi version of Jeffrey Epstein’s real-life empire of exploitation, with all manner of perversions facilitated by his connections to powerful elites.
I mention Epstein for a very specific reason. You see, shortly after writing his rather eccentric novel, Barr inexplicably hired the sexual predator to teach at his school. Epstein, a college dropout with no teaching experience, was criminally unqualified for the role.
Remember, this is the Dalton School we are talking about, one of the most prestigious private institutions in the United States. It has long been a breeding ground for the children of the wealthy and powerful, boasting alumni who go on to attend Ivy League universities and hold influential positions across various fields.
Such an august reputation makes the hiring of an unqualified individual like Epstein all the more baffling — until you realize that dad Donald had worked for the OSS, the forerunner of the CIA. Now, things look a little clearer. But also considerably darker.
Was Jeffrey Epstein an intelligence asset? A better question might be, how could someone without intelligence connections operate with such impunity for so many years?
The formative years
As for Donald’s son, it’s difficult to know where to begin.
The former U.S. attorney general has longstanding ties to the CIA. Early in his career, Bill Barr worked for the CIA while attending law school, specifically in the intelligence analysis and law divisions. Throughout his legal career, Barr maintained connections with the intelligence community, evident during his tenure as attorney general under George H.W. Bush, a former CIA director.
Most readers know that Bill Barr's connection to Epstein traces back to 2019, when, as U.S. attorney general, he oversaw the Justice Department during the pedophile's arrest in Florida. But again, as most readers know, appearances can be very deceptive.
Bosom buddies
Barr and Epstein go way back. As the excellent investigative reporter Nick Bryant has shown with photographic evidence, Barr and Epstein clearly attended the Interlochen Center for the Arts, a renowned arts education institution in northern Michigan, when they were kids. At the very same time.
However, when Bryant looked through the school's yearbook, he found that none of the photos had names listed. A yearbook without names is not just uncommon. It’s unheard of. Something is off.
