Creepy OK, this one hits really close to home. I've been to the guys mansion in Bedford a couple of times. When I had a house in Manchester, my neighbor worked for him. He was Kamens head of IT. Which meant he was IT at DEKA, and at the guys house. Which my neighbor would ask me to help installing stuff after work. Needless to say I'm not surprised about his association with Epstein as Kamen is a strange duck. His parents were really nice tho. |

| I knew the guy was a loon when he teased an invention that was "going to change the course of human history", "the most revolutionary invention ever", on the news for weeks and had wild speculation as to what incredible discovery this man had made, and it turned out to be the fucking segway. |

| I remember watching the big reveal on the news and seeing the complete disappointment in the onsite reporters face, hearing laughter in the newsroom and then seeing the news anchors when they went back to the studio with red faces from laughing going to commercial breaks. I remember thinking when I saw it "that's it?". I really thought it was a joke, that there was more, this was some kind of epic prank before he showed for instance, salt water fusion energy technology, non volatile atomic power, cars that run on water, any one of the speculated items that science and technology experts had guessed about prior to the announcement. |
| He also had military grants for solving problems the .mil had. My neighbor showed me a few videos quite some time ago about a contraption that was mounted in the bed of a truck that would weigh the soldier and gear, then using compressed air, launch them 5 stories up and land on a rooftop like they just walked off a bottom step. The idea was that if you launch troops to a rooftop, they can completely bypass the fighting up thing. It had like a 95% success rate. But the prototype videos looked like, well glad it was weighted duffle bags, because I'm sure it would have really hurt. |

Not surprising at all that he visited Epstein island. He was knee deep in it: https://christine-negroni.medium.com/jeffrey-epstein-dean-kamen-connection-through-aviation-influencer-bb0e767dbfcf Also not surprised that he seems to be (largely) skating any meaningful repercussions for his association with Epstein. He had to take brief vacations from his board positions with a few companies, and they kicked him out of the leadership role of the U.S. based youth robotics organization he co-founded. He is still involved on the global side of the same youth centered STEM organization. Then there's this little gem: https://www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2023-11-19/dean-kamen-companies-reap-millions-from-federally-funded-nonprofit-he-runs Shaheen appears to be in his pocket. She lobbied for the federal money that his non-profit (called the Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute or "ARMI") received. ARMI has received $300MM in tax payer dollars and has funneled at least $34MM of that back through his for-profit companies (including Kamen's commercial real estate company which owns the property that ARMI leases: https://www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2023-11-19/dean-kamen-companies-reap-millions-from-federally-funded-nonprofit-he-runs Shake that tree a little more and you find that ARMI also employed Shaheen's daughter as "Chief Strategy Officer" of ARMI for ten years. The daughter is running for 1st Congressional district (of course being the nepo baby that she is). As soon as the Epstein/Kamen connection broke in the news she "resigned" from the ARMI position...after a ten year run and making over $900,000....imagine that: https://nhjournal.com/kamens-epstein-island-travel-could-create-turbulence-for-stefany-shaheen/ Kamen's whole ecosystem is a turd in the NH punchbowl. A snake and grifter. |
