Epstein's Temple
May. 28th, 2025 10:26 am We now have close up footage of the "temple" on Little St. James- Epstein's island. James O'Keefe featured it on his show.
We are all calling it a "temple" but when plans were submitted to the building regulation people it was described as a music room.
It sits on top of a rocky hillock at the end of a dirt track. There are palm trees beside it.
O'Keefe's footage is several years old and taken after the feds had been in and carried off all the movable furniture and whatever else may have been stored in there.
The building is square and decorated with blue and white stripes- which are, apparently, painted on. There used to be a golden dome, probably made of fibreglass, which blew off in a storm. The style is sort of Middle-Eastern. Two statues of aquatic centaurs originally stood at the door- which, I'm guessing, were antique. I don't think they're there any longer. Perhaps the Feds have them.
The interior walls are decorated with what looks like coloured marble, but may be paint. Against one wall stands a large empty wooden bookcase flanked by two pillars, one plain and straight up and down and the other ornate and twisted. This is masonic symbolism. On the ceiling is a painting of the starry heavens, with the constellations represented as the people and critters and things they're named for- as found in Egyptian tombs- but done in a renaissance style. It's not a great work of art.
And that's it. I don't think I've left anything out. The thing is built to impress but seems to have been done on the cheap.
It reminds me of the Little Castle at Bolsover, built by William Cavendish in the early 17th century. That too is impressive, somewhat gimcrack and, according to rumour, used as an orgy house....
