From irishtimes.com article in above comment:

Germany’s paedophile past reared its head again in 2013 when links emerged between founding members of the Green Party and West Germany’s Paedophile Movement, which rode the coat-tails of gay-rights groups and lobbied for the decriminalisation of consensual sex between adults and children.

 

In 1975 a Green Party leading light, Daniel Cohn-Bendit, who was a kindergarten teacher at the time, wrote a book praising “erotic games” between adults and young children. In 1981 Jürgen Trittin, today a senior Green MP and then a young party official in Göttingen, signed off on a party pamphlet seeking the decriminalisation of paedophilia.

Daniel Marc Cohn-Bendit (French: [kɔn bɛndit]; German: [koːn ˈbɛndiːt]; born 4 April 1945) is a French-German politician. He was a student leader during the unrest of May 1968 in France[1] and was also known during that time as Dany le Rouge (French for "Danny the Red", because of both his politics and the colour of his hair). He was co-president of the group European Greens–European Free Alliance in the European Parliament. He co-chairs the Spinelli Group, a European parliament inter-group aiming at relaunching the federalist project in Europe. He was a recipient of the European Parliament's European Initiative Prize in 2016.[2]

The group was founded by Guy Verhofstadt, former head of the liberal Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE) group in the Parliament and honorary president of the Union of European Federalists (UEF) in Belgium, former co-chair of the Greens–European Free Alliance (Greens/EFA) group Daniel Cohn-Bendit, French MEP Sylvie Goulard (ALDE) and former EP Vice President Isabelle Durant (Greens/EFA), with the support of the Union of European Federalists.

Nomination to be France's European Commissioner

On 28 August 2019 President Macron nominated Goulard[8] to be the French Commissioner in the von der Leyen Commission and lead the newly-established Directorate-General for Defence Industry and Space[9]

After two "tense" hearings before the EP Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO) and the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE), her nomination was rejected on 10 October 2019, with 82 votes against, 32 in favour and 1 abstention.[10][11][12][13] The rejection was linked to her inability to explain her effective work for the Berggruen Institute, and the fact that she explained that she would not resign even if she was formally indicted[14]

[Marcel Kolaja, Czech MEP from the Greens group, said] Goulard "was not able for instance to clarify what the added value of €10,000 per month was,", referring to the amount Goulard was reportedly paid by the Berggruen Institute, a U.S.-based think tank.

In 2010, Nicolas Berggruen and Nathan Gardels sat down with a group of academics, business leaders, and political veterans in California to discuss the economic and political stresses caused by the global financial crisis, the widespread perception of failing political institutions and Western democracies, and how China’s rise would affect the international landscape in the 21st century.

Looking at the "Berggruen Institute Councils and Committees" and "Berggruen Institute Programs and Work" sections, particularly the latter, of the Berggruen Institute wiki gave me the sinking gut feeling of "this sounds like stuff Epstein's fingers would be all over".

Sure as water is wet, I was right.

Jeffrey Epstein <- Ghislaine Maxwell -> Francesco Carrozzini, Katherine Keating** | WorldPost: Arianna Huffington, Nicolas Berggruen* -> 21st Century Council** <- Berggruen Institute* <- Sylvie Goulard -> Spinelli Group <- Daniel Cohn-Bendit

dailymail.co.uk - "REVEALED: Mystery brunette who Prince Andrew waved goodbye to from Jeffrey Epstein's pedophile lair is the philanthropist daughter of former Australian prime minister Paul Keating": https://archive.is/Vn9jy#selection-2501.0-2533.250

Keating later went on to date photographer Francesco Carrozzini, 36, the aristocratic son of the late Italian Vogue editor-in-chief Franca Sozzani.

He was a co-executive producer of her video series and is now now married to Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour's daughter Bea Shaffer, 32.

Keating is now believed to be single but when the two collaborated, they worked together on the interview with Maxwell.

It saw her describe the accused procurer of underage girls for a the pedophile as 'a philanthropist' and discuss her work on The TerraMar Project – an eco-initiative aimed at protecting the ocean, which was hastily shuttered after Epstein was hit with new charges in July.

In it, Maxwell urged readers to sign a pledge to become 'ocean citizens' and railed about the sea becoming 'the world's dumping ground'.

The One On One series was part of WorldPost, which was set up by Huffington Post founder Arianna Huffington and another Epstein associate, Nicolas Berggruen, a billionaire American-German businessman, whose name also appears in the financier's little black book.

Berggruen, 58, is the founder of the Berggruen Institute. Keating continues to be described as a 'New Leader' on the 21st Century Council.

According to its website, the Institute was 'established in 2010 to develop foundational ideas about how to reshape political and social institutions in the face of global change.'

The interview was not Keating's first known encounter with Maxwell either; in September 2013, the pair were both photographed attending a party for the launch of New York based social media platform IdeaPod at Ghislaine's E65th street Manhattan home.

It gets better...

Nicolas Berggruen is a member of the CFR? As was Epstein, naturally (even the Washington Post, of all publications, mentions it)...

Activist investors

In 2013 and 2014, Sotheby's was the target of a takeover attempt by activist investor Daniel S. Loeb of Third Point LLC, a registered investment adviser founded in 1995 and headquartered in New York with over $14 billion in assets under management.[124] Third Point began acquiring shares in Sotheby's in February 2013.[124] By July 2013, Loeb's stake in Sotheby's increased to 3.7%, and in August he raised his stake to 5.7%, and requested to talk with the management and board. In July, activists at Marcato Capital Management revealed a 6.6% stake, saying that the shares were undervalued. At that point, Marcato and Third Point were Sotheby's second and third-largest shareholders, following BlackRock Fund Advisors.[125] Third Point's August purchase brought its stake in Sotheby's to 3.9 million shares.[126]

Although Daniel S. Loeb is allegedly not a member of the Loeb banking family, we can find a link back to them through dealings between BlackRock & Sotheby's, and the relationship between Lehman Borthers, the Loeb banking family, Man GLG & BlackRock – which (aside from linking to Scientology and the Bronfmans/NXIVM), through the Noyes family and Kit Laybourne, links right back to Epstein.

Note: Daniel S. Loeb's paternal grandmother, Lillian Loeb, is the sister of Ruth Handler of Barbie/Mattel Inc. fame.
