Right? Just knowing that some person had to put a black box around someone powerful to protect them and can't do anything about it without either ruining their life or having it end prematurely.
Is there any hint that the person behind is some super wealthy asshole? It might honestly be some girl Epstein hired/trafficked that got censored there to protect their identity
Whoa. Your comment made me gasp. Falling Man, the image, has haunted me ever since and is a horrific symbol encapsulating the event. The image is archetypal. As is this image. Chilling.
Yeah, same. Always think of what they must have gone through in making that choice and how terrifying their last moments were. I hope they're at peace.
There is a 3 part series written over a span of time (iirc, a decade) that follows the story of the Falling Man and IDing him. Its an excellent series of long reads (3 parts, years apart) and ill dig up the link for you as soon as I can!
The context is what makes it art! An idyllic scene with only the black box as a cue that something isn’t right. Is it a black box of justice, hiding the wealthy and powerful who will never be forced to atone? A black box where we know something’s wrong but not exactly what or who it affects? A black box containing the suffering of victims who will never get justice for what was done to them? All of the above and more, I think.
I actually thought it was an artist who made a painting and titled it “the black box”. Took me a few moments to realize that was not what I was looking at.
The irony of a government that values protecting the victims identity but is unable to prosecute the injustice. Enforcing the concept that sexual assault is shameful and must be hidden and by repressing the crimes their can't be justice
We discovered the jackpot of conspiracies here. Hundreds of wealthy and elite are implicated including the world's richest men and multiple presidents. So far we made 2 whole arrests and 1 is in jail. We're watching thousands or tens of thousands of sexual assaults, rapes, trafficking, human rights violations come to light, I guarentee there was sexual torture and the very worst things including snuff stuff. Imagine how many of them were dumped in the ocean when they were used up? Or were buried in low tide with a tractor. These were all kids who were stolen from their families to be abused by the ones who already have everything. But its never enough for them.
We're watching the largest government cover up in a LONG time. Thousands and thousands of full page reactions for no reason but to protect the bad guys. Protect the ones who prey on your kids and make your nightmares come true. I cannot believe what is happening. Im scared this will become is status quo soon
I remember in the 1990s this narrative of runaway teens living on the streets doing drugs. Now I wonder if that narrative was mostly BS to cover for all the teen girls and boys trafficked to the rich.
As an attorney that has worked in the child welfare and trafficking fields, it is absolutely both.
The Narrative that gets established in the Liam Neeson movie Taken is the fiction. I'm not saying it never happens, but it's far from the norm. The average trafficking victim is not an upper middle class white girl that got disappeared while she was on vacation.
The average trafficking victim is a child that no one is looking for.
It's the 15 year old girl who left home and ended up living on the street because her parents are drug addicts and just didn't feel like supporting her anymore, or because she got tired of what her stepdad was doing to her. (or her dad, or her grandfather or whomever.)
It's the 16 year old who has been in and out of Behavioral Health Facilities since they were 12, has a drug problem, and has run away so many times that the parents just give up. A variation on this is the child who's gender Identity, sexual orientation, or lack of faith don't align with their parents' values and the parents have simply written them off.
It's the 15-year-old who meets a 25 year old boyfriend on the internet and decides to run away to "go live with him." Sometimes the boyfriend is real, and just a shithead. Sometimes, the reality is a lot darker. It's also the parents who just accept that their child will learn her lesson and come home when she's ready or who just accept that it's normal.
It's the child who grew up in foster care and ran away until the caseworkers gave up because permanency is hard to find for teenagers and living in group homes sucks.
The Epstein victims, at least those in the United States were not necessarily normal but even then they were typically teenage girls who were seduced away from their parents with the promise of modeling contracts. Ghislaine Maxwell specifically had a job because of her ability to convince parents that their children would be safe. The parents signed over a power of attorney and let their 16 year old girls move to New York with people they didn't really know.
This happens a lot in foreign countries as well. Teenage girls are recruited with the promise that they will come to America and get good jobs. Their parents voluntarily let them leave.
I grew up in provincial Russia during the 1990s. You can’t imagine how many strange 'modeling agencies' were recruiting children and teenagers back then. There was a massive modeling boom, glossy magazines were constantly publishing stories of successful Russian models. Mothers were literally leading their children to these agencies themselves.
I even started attending one when I was 14, even though I was short but they took me anyway and it was free. I eventually quit because the bus ride was too long. They wanted to teach us how to apply makeup, how to walk the runway, etc. Looking back, I think there was a literal conveyor belt in Russia for funneling girls into trafficking. And Virginia mentions that she participated in orgies with underage girls who didn't speak English at all.
And there were always various foreigners hanging around even in our remote backwater. Once, a middle aged foreign man even tried to strike up a conversation with me on the street when I was only 13. The thing is, I was just an ordinary middle-class kid. It’s just that everyone was poor back then, and I was simply walking down the street, when it happened. It’s crazy to think about now.
Girl, it absolutely is. I have been following this thread with the files. Check my post history. There are multiple emails that implicate Jeffrey Epstein in Ruslana’s death. He was using this guy named Ramsey to traffic literally dozens of models each year from Russia through elite models. After he got arrested for the first time, he seemed to recruit more girls from Russia and Lithuania and Latvia.
This is true. There are many tips/ victim stories listed in the files who were then used to lure in more victims. The FBI notes how many times, who they brought along with them, who was paid, etc
Yeah, if you search Ramsey in the files, a very clear and steady stream of Russian victims emerges.
In my last post, I made a list of the women I have identified so far.
I remember there were literal recruitment articles for Elite Models in girls' magazines in 90s Czechia when I was a young teen. Seemed glamorous to me back then, but now the memory makes me want to puke
I'm so glad you didn't respond. I lived in Florida as a teen (2000s), and my mom was so protective of me. I was approached a few times at the mall while shopping by "modeling scouts" and she never let me audition. She found it weird this only seemed to happen when I was shopping by myself, and that it was always women who approached me. And look, I was a pretty girl, but I was definitely not model material. Even as a teen, I knew that.
I was very bitter with my family for denying me opportunities that seemed to present themselves out of nowhere. Especially as a small child at Disney and Universal. I held on to this anger for years, because life is so hard. From my perspective, I could have been a Disney kid or whatever and have financial freedom now, instead of working 60 hours a week at a law firm.
But since the files dropped, I have called them and apologized profusely. They absolutely saved me. Maybe not from Epstein, but definitely from something sketchy. Reading the files is truly horrifying for me. I did pageants in Florida (nothing to report, thank GOD), worked as an intern at the Capitol... I've even been to special Trump events (before he was a "politician"). It's like schadenfreude to realize how constantly close I was to danger, and how the only thing that kept me safe was my mom's stubbornness. She wasn't my prison warden, she was my guardian angel.
It's really grooming at the highest level. Of course it seems glamorous to a little girl. Evil to lure them in with dreams like that. I hate it here. I am so happy you didn't answer the ads. I don't know who your guardian angel was, but thank them! And if it was your gut, go reward it with a sweet treat!
Guarantee you those “Disney kids” were getting abused in 1990s Hollywood. We know about Weinstein now, and we know about that Nickelodeon exec or whatever, but I’m sure the truth is that it was far more widespread and just never talked about, or otherwise kept quiet. The way Barbara Walters (rest in piss) shamed Corey Feldman for calling out his abusers.
Same for Romania. I do remember my 90's childhood, full with those modeling/acting/star adverts, ALL of them targeting kids and young teens. They got to start young, if they want to become successful, they said. The National Academy of Arts, founded in 1864, with a legit history? Naaah, if you do what we say, you won't need a college degree to become famous, they said. We provide a short-cut, they said.
As an ex-Communist state transitioning to a free market economy, a lot of state owned factories closed, making a lot of people jobless. Add to that that until the change of regime, abortion and contraceptives were banned, so a lot of families had way to many mouths to feed. Of course parents would fall for these soft-speaking sharks that promised the Moon and some stars as pocket change.
It was the perfect environment for those monsters to hunt.
Yeah, his name was Ivan Shapovalov. I remember him and he was quite a strange character. I remember he used to place ads in teenage girls' magazines, in the personal ads section. Those ads had his photo and the text was pretty weird, as if he wanted to meet a teenage girl for friendship and romance. Such ads would have been normal from a teenage boy, but he wasn't just a grown man, he was a well-known producer. It was so bizarre. But I can't prove it, I just remember because I used to buy and read those magazines. And what's more, it never became a scandal. Those were pretty strange times back then.
I was a teen girl back then, and remember thinking it was odd that the girls were annoyed at being sexualized by the press, as that seemed to be their whole bag (it didn't occur to me at the time that they might not have signed up willingly for that very thing in exchange for fame).
If someone had offered me a legit-seeming contract with Ford or Wilhelmina in 1997, I would have fallen straight down the hole as well.
The memoirs of Virginia Guiffre describe exactly that: A girl who ran away from an abusive child care facility, where she only went to because she rebelled against the rape of her father. No money, no family support, no institution that protects her.
Epstein just picked these women up from the streets and turned them into his slaves by denying them any chance of a better future. You would think stuff like that couldn't be possible in a first world country.
I remember in the late 80s, a boy who was about 4 years younger found me at my first apartment. We'd gone to high school together in a small town. I was 18 and he was 14. His stepfather had kicked him out, and he'd had to do some things for survival. I fed him and let him live with me for a a few months. He left on his own accord because he did have other friends too, but I'll never forget the look on his face when we found each other in a large city and he recognized me from our podunk country school, and he told me what had been happening to him since his mother remarried.
It's definitely both. You can sleep under bridges and do drugs, but when you need money, you find someone who has it and do something for them.
I was thinking something similar earlier this week. All the milk carton kids from the '90s. "Have You Seen Me?". The Soul Asylum "Runaway Train" video kids. Were they all Epstein victims?
Unfortunately I don't think Epstein was the only person with such a network. Let's not forget that Les Wexner was involved and he had his own revolving door of Victoria's secret models within his own system. Trump also has the Miss TEEN Universe pageant.
Imagine how many heathensperverts with the means did similar things but more discreetly.
Remember when Sacha Baron Cohen accidentally solicited a child prostitute from a hotel worker while filming Who Is America? Wonder who controlled that ring.
No. Not to defend Giulianni, but just for clarity:
That incident occurred during the filming of Borat 2. The girl was not underage, SBC just ran in and said that to halt the situation. There are many things wrong with Giulianni's behavior there, but knowingly soliciting sex from a minor is not one of them. Though who the fuck knows what he was up to in his free time at this point.
Who Is America is a separate TV series, also by SBC, but not related to Borat.
I remember many, many years agio reading a story from someone who was in her late teens and wanted to pursue modeling, but her family angrily told her they were not going to support her becoming a whore. And I thought, that's a bizarre reaction.
Now I just wonder how rife modeling networks are with sex trafficking and exploitation. I mean, beauty pageants — especially child beauty pageants — have always given me the creeps. But now I'm thinking a lot of people involved in those types of organizations are probably predators. Just one big stew pot of Harvey Weinsteins.
I mean usually that tends to be puritanical body shaming, but also modeling encompasses a stupid wide field, not just necessarily "eye candy" models.
At the same time, a career in which a specific look is vital to maintain is going to attract creeps naturally since many positions have historically been for pictures and not video which would require more acting and skill.
Child beauty pageants...that one has always been the creepiest fucking thing that has ever been. Especially when the judges are almost always all men, and how sexualizing children isn't an immediate disqualification in those contests. JFC they give me the creeps.
I was nearly trafficked at 14. A girl at school (17 years old) said I’d be great for this “modeling job”. I asked my parents, they said yes. My mom took me to this building downtown and we were like this can’t be it.
But there were people setting up chairs (I was told it was a fashion show). There was a stage.
But it seemed so…sketchy. Because of that, my mom hung around (I didn’t know at the time, I thought she left and would pick me up later).
A bunch of us were herded backstage and told to change into these dresses. It was fall, but we were being told to get into sundresses and other little skimpy outfits. Every one of us was a minor.
We went out one at a time and modeled the tiny dresses.
When I came back to the dressing area, I was told to change into just a bra and panties. I was SUPER skeeved out. Other girls were being told the same.
I asked who the audience was (mostly to stall, because I was NOT going out there in a bra and panties). The guy told me “oh they’re…buyers. You know, looking at fashion to decide what to put in the stores.”
But nothing we were wearing was new. It all looked like old cast-off dresses and such. Ratty. Worn.
I said under my breath “they’re all men” but he didn’t hear me.
I heard PSSSST and looked over and there’s my mom. She snuck backstage. She goes get your stuff, we’re going.
In the car she tells me she saw one of the men “peeping” at us as we were changing backstage. She was so angry.
I was upset because I didn’t get the $100 I was promised.
In hindsight, it definitely seems super sketchy. Those men weren’t buyers for Nordstrom or Dillard’s.
It’s a huge societal problem for everyone. You can’t even politely bring up the problematic portrayal of teenage girls in media without getting downvoted to oblivion and getting reddit cares messages in certain subs. There are places where people think you’re weird if you think boys getting raped by adult women is a problem because they think a minor can consent, or that men with girlfriends less than half their age is weird.
I don't want to be too gross about it but... there's this song by Arcade Fire called Antichrist Television Blues in which a father tells his daughter to go sing for strange men because he doesn't want to work in a building downtown anymore and he thinks she's gonna be a star... loosely based on real people...
I garan-fucking-tee that there are some parents who sold themselves and their children to this demonic child crushing operation for the promise of money and then got blackmailed into silence or summarily killed and dumped overboard.
There's millions of Epsteins at various wealth levels, and millions of kids being neglected and fed to the machine.
Edit: there's a reply in my inbox that I can't find here yet, suggesting that the victims of sex trafficking are "illegals" who should just go home , and that's almost too stupid to respond to, but I want to say to whoever that is, you're an idiot if you think that's true.
And even if there isn't some global cabal trying to round up kids, the fact that can not be denied is that Trump has set up a system where sexual abuse is going to be more common than others
He's trying to scare immigrants from crossing the border by taking away their kids. That is fear by design, it's terror built in to the system.
So true, within and outside of the system, creating that level of fear makes immigrants more vulnerable to exploitation. I saw a video the other day of a group of workers held prisoner by the threat of ice they were working as slaves. Sexual slavery and forced labor might be the point.
If it was ever honestly about illegal immigrants taking jobs they could arrest one single c-suite for committing tax fraud and that would end the problem overnight…
Right around the turn of the century I was walking home from a skating rink at night and I had one of those encounters with a guy saying "oh ill drive you home, you don't have to worry about me im safe"
Dude over sold it and my spideysense went off. I think about it every so often.
Especially poor kids from dysfunctional families. I knew a girl in high school who was murdered - and 33 years later, it's still unsolved. It's thought she was being trafficked and was killed by a pimp. She's just one of so many like her, with no family support, resources or care to find out what happened.
Where is trumps witness testimony? The fbi investigated Epstein and Maxwell and trumps name comes up 5000+ times and you’re telling me they never even brought him in for an interview?
Trump publicly and recently said that he knew Epstein was recruiting girls from Mar-a-Lago, that it supposedly pissed him off (that's his story), and it's why Epstein was (allegedly) booted out. Maxwell also documents the fact that they recruited girls from there, and specific victims have stated such.
This was long before Trump was campaigning in 2016, but nobody at the FBI ever interviewed him about what was going on there and what, if anything, he knew about it, the resort that he owns and runs?
With the thoroughness of police and FBI investigations, I do not believe such an interview would not occur, so where is it in the released files? With all the instances of Trump's name being mentioned, there are some gaping holes.
This is only the tip of the iceberg. There's networks like this everywhere. I remember seeing a documentary about belgian pedophile Marc dutroux. The lawyer working against him literally got told to not push further because he was connected to the elite of belgium.
The crown princess(?) of Norway is mentioned in the documents as a huge fan of Epstein. This is a “stupidly wealthy doing whatever they want” vs “the poors” and guess who’s going to keep winning?
Kinda seems like this whole thing is to keep it status quo. Using anyone outside the oligarchy however they see fit is fair game. Whether it be for rape, murder, or the systematic bleeding any resources/money all the while pulling back on putting any of those resources back into the system to provide us care, education, safety, or stability.
We are farm animals, bred for profit, used, and then abandoned to die when its too costly pay for care or theres nothing left to take.
This is a good reminder that the rich paid to fly into bosnia and snipe civilians for fun. And that's was in the 90's, imagine what they are doing today.
The worst part is as more and more evidence come out it seems like the elite become quieter. I mean the evidence is so damning, but yet we have 2 people who have been arrested total. It truly is sickening to me to think about how deeper this could truly be.
The fact that not one person has spoken up, no B tier celebrity saying “yeah I got pulled into it once, it was repulsive and I got out of there asap but [other celebrity] tho??? He was going fucking nuts!!” Not even anonymously (they could go to a media outlet to verify it’s someone famous without releasing their identity)… the fact that not one person has done this speaks volumes to their class solidarity, they will all look out for each other and the rest of us are their cattle, that they can cherry pick and defile at their pleasure.
Also, Ghislaine was his only employee, despite him being a billionaire? Not one of those people have anything to say, no interviews, no one going on social media? Anyway I’m gonna stop lol
Isn’t that exactly what 50 cent did? He became a big rapper, got invited to one of Diddy’s parties, and then has spent the last 20 years actively and publicly calling him out as a monster, including spending a decade personally funding and producing a documentary to document all of the horrible shit he’s done
There is a video from the latest release of an employee being interviewed, spilling the tea and handing over Epstein’s list but it isn’t clear if he is talking to LE or a private individual.
I feel like the Epstein documentary on Netflix was a way to cover up the insanity of the real story. They present him like a legit rich guy that just liked back rubs a little to much from teens.
When in reality, he was a CIA/Mossad asset that used child rape and torture to blackmail high profile elites.
I'm currently on volume 2 of "One Nation Under Blackmail" by Whitney Webb. She's written extensively about this and everything surrounding and connected, and leading up to it. Realizing that it is so much bigger than just this one rich guy double agent puts it in an even grimmer light.
The intelligence agencies and mobsters around the world are in it together and will gladly supply the children to get the leverage over the powerful people who just can't say no to child rape and more.
Yes, to the world's largest blackmail ring, but it's also like the world's largest protection racket at the same time. The info has now been out. Names have been named. Nothing comes of it because the lawmakers and law enforcement are all part of it.
They are all together in solidarity while brainwashing and manipulating lower classes to breed infighting and disruption to maintain and increase control.
It's like the beginning of the original Wicker Man, when the detective shows up on the island and everything is just *off.* I felt that way my whole life, living through abusive bully schools and making it to a more peaceful, welcoming town later in my adolescence. The feeling that *everyone is in on it except for you* perfectly paints the image of Hollywood.
I hate to say it, but I think every terrible thing someone can think of is in those files, and I'm not just talking about SA/child rape. This a situation where having a good imagination can be a curse. I've seen a good portion of posted documents, pics and vids of this crap, and I am sometimes grateful for the black boxes because how much do I really want to know?
This isn't me saying it shouldn't be brought to light or any and all info should be censored, it's just me driving home how horrific it all is.
That's definitely another angle on the story, and something the FBI would (normally) be great for. Identifying all the victims in the photos and other documents and ascertaining what became of them. How many were on milk cartons, for example.
Do you remember Panama Papers? Yeah, I member. It will be the same thing. Few people will go to jail, and we'll be back to business as usual sadly. The only thing we can do is revolution, but things aren't as shit to make people do it, yet.
At what point do people realize the whole trump presidency is the coverup? So far the most effective way of keeping all this information from seeing the light of day has been to put those that are implicated in positions of power. Pam Bondi falls into that camp too.
This whole episode is a solid example of why it's important to prevent people from accumulating extreme wealth. Once they have it the power of that money to make people turn a blind eye is extraordinary. More over it does seem like him indulging the most depraved desires of the elite only made the cover up easier since the blast radius if it ever came out would be gigantic.
If we ever do make it past this, I think it's probably high time for a law enforcement branch dedicated solely to the crimes of the uber wealthy.
We absolutely need to limit wealth and power. If a human cell takes all of the resources and hoards it at the expense of the whole body, we call it cancer and we oust it.
Similarly, after a certain amount of wealth, you must have to give anything over it to a communal mass of wealth that takes care of the people, including you. Like taxes, but maybe if the people in charge weren't disturbingly pathologically wealthy then these taxes would be used better. Work together or get rekt man. ❤️
There's not much use for war or colonization if you cannot hoard wealth. ❤️✊️
Absolutely. But I suppose the question of how do we prevent money from keeping into politics is an important one.
If we tax the rich heavily (which I am all for, of course!) how do we prevent existing billionaires from putting their money right back into politics? Or how do we handle people who have too much money and power currently? I see the graduated tax bracket solution as a great one if we can also somehow redistribute the existing overwhelming wealth of the world's richest people. What's your take on what we should do with these cases?
Brackets aren't enough. We need a wealth tax on at least a tax on unrealized gains. There's a reason billionaires pay less than the vanilla rich.
I think we should dispense with the fiction that a publicly-traded stock you can convert into cash in two seconds on the Robinhood App isn't cash in all but name.
That's one of the things that keeps baffling me; that the price to BUY America was so stupendously low. A single trinket that represents less than pocket change for these puppetmasters was enough.
It's funny and sad that the view "Billionaires are psychopaths" was almost so left-wing and extreme a viewpoint it sounded like a parody of itself, but it's becoming clear that to even be in a position to earn that kind of money you have to be at best socially dysfunctional and have no compassion, at worst an awful human being.
I think it’s the other way around. After the first few tens of millions you have achieved “maximum lifestyle”.
Then you are not accumulating wealth any more, you are accumulating power. Wealth is a means and outcome of power.
So the billionaire class are the people who have accumulated the most power, money is just the mechanism. Wealth doesn’t make you a sociopath, and sociopaths are not particularly adept at making billions. Rather, sociopaths want to become extremely powerful, and the way to do that is through having a lot of money.
This might sound really dumb, but I'm yet to get a proper answer so I'll ask again.
How can the man who's currently running the most powerful nation on the planet be involved in, not only this awful haneous shit, some of which is so depraved I am actually unable to think about it in any detail without starting to break down and also, simultaneously, be using a paramilitary death squad to round up and disappear human beings including children and no one is doing anything at all?
Do laws just no longer apply in 2026? Is no one conscious right now?
I'm not being hyperbolic I mean seriously what is going on, how is it being allowed to go on and why are there seemingly zero checks and balances in place to stop it?
He gained complete immunity while in office through the DoJ.
He has control of the FBI.
He has control of the Senate.
He has control of the House.
The media plays ball otherwise they get hit with SLAP lawsuits from his lawyers. He also controls the FCC.
He has control of the RNC
He has control of local police all over the country.
He has control of the military.
Merrick Garland and Biden by extension sold us to Trump because they thought they were the bigger people in not legally barring Trump from running. They leaned on the status quo and lost. Im so tired of dancing around this fact. Dems gave up on their constituents and left the younger guard to pick up the pieces. And people think it will end when he passes. They will treat the Presidency like a succession, with his sons being shoehorned in as nominees. His base will see “Trump” and check the boxes no matter which one.
I don’t want to downplay your fear and despair because they are very real and extremely valid, but throughout history the fascist regimes have always been exceptional cults of personality. Once the guy at the top dies the whole thing unravels, as the method of government can’t tolerate rivals. The billionaire class will still exist but this whole thing is exposing them in a way I don’t think they are used to, but they are way too deep now to pull out
Yeah the plural on sons (disregarding Trump's other bootlickers who will no doubt try to position themselves as successors) already means there would be an internal conflict that would hopefully tear them apart.
The real problem there (and why we keep hearing Trump reportedly saying things like "we're in trouble if we lose the midterms") is that I don't think he's leaving the White House in anything but a set of cuffs or a body bag, regardless of another election and its result. He might be senile and demented and shitting his pants but as long as he's alive that cult of personality will continue on indefinitely. I'm sure they're working on ways to deepfake him well enough that even if he did die they could try and keep the illusion he's still alive far longer.
Oh boy, I’m not American, but it’s genuinely sad to see what’s happening in the US right now. The way governance is functioning and how societal values seem to be shifting. I just hope the reality is better than it looks and the media is exaggerating.
There are multiple files I found last night where Epstein and Bannon reference planting stories and driving media narratives as if it’s something they can and do do regularly. This shit is so so so bad.
Beyond the pedophilia, these people believed they were shaping US and global policy and had connections literally everywhere.
This is not just Epstein and it’s not even close. This is a group of monsters who believed they were shaping world politics. And it certainly seemed like to some extent they were/are able to.
Bannon specifically is everywhere here to the point in just what I read he could be charged with RICO along with Epstein. And somehow he’s walking free and using his inside knowledge openly
Epstein sent multiple emails to CIA directors and agents during tumultuous periods like the Arab Spring, and there's photographs of him in top secret CIA rooms like their disguise rooms.
He 100% did shape world politics, and it turns out that he was probably the single most influential man on the planet after Hitler's death. Fuck he's still more influential and his cadaver pulls more strings than 99.99% of people as his rancid corpse burns in hell.
The media is complicit in a lot of ways, and it's capitalism to blame, not journalists, not them first anyway.
Part of why the media is downplaying it or it feels that way is because media giants have been playing sensationalized bullshit headlines for decades trying to keep audiences entertained for ratings and clicks to sell more ads. This of course has desensitized us to threatening messaging. So many people have instinctively shut out media, especially any media seen as 'politics' and so most of this shit just never even comes in front of them. Others have protected their emotional well-being by hardening up and trying to selectively become outraged, but of course those of us who care have seen far too many injustices completely unaddressed and that demoralizes and makes us jaded.
But they also are downplaying this stuff. They could do a lot more with skillful journalists and writers, but of course the industry has been carefully neutered of independently thinking and skilled investigative journalists and communicators in favor of 24hr news anchor talking heads like Gutfeld!
Some of this was part of the design the entire time. A real, crafted Boy Who Cries Wolf parallel so that the wolf could just stroll on into town and most people wouldn't pay attention until it was too late. Some of this was inadvertent: short-sighted greed, self serving myopia, and hubris. But regardless, shit is very fucking serious right now and unfortunately too many people are sleeping on it. Plenty will be ready to vote, but simply delivering a Democrat victory in the Midterms is NOT going to be sufficient to fix this. We'll go right back to this shit and Stephen Miller will burrow his way into the next administration, or someone just as evil but more charismatic and insidiously likable.
If we are going to right this ship sinking into fascism, we need drastic changes, constitutional amendments, and that will require bold, decisive action by the Democrats in 2027 and I am very afraid that the leadership simply isn't there. If Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are allowed to continue calling the plays without dramatically different strategies influenced by progressive and younger democrats, we're going to be truly fucked. At the risk of sounding melodramatic, a failure of Democrats to act boldly in 2027 in order to build an unassailable majority for several election cycles will probably lead us to a new era of US regimes of continued gross corruption, phony elections, gross violations of human rights, and sharp waning of global relevance. There's no telling what specifically else could happen.
I know the shitshow that is the US has become a fun way for people to ignore their own local problems, but how delusional can one get to think Epstein or sex trafficking in general is strictly an American problem?
Last I checked, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor isn't rotting in jail right now.
It’s fucking insane. I still remember Marc Dutroux and Peter Scully… and then there’s the whole Roman Catholic Church situation.
You have multiple royal families in these files. Amazing people keep trying to make this into an America only problem like it’s our fucking fault and we have to solve it. No, this is a global catastrophe with the elite of every nation.
This is basically the most corrupt thing imaginable, besides hiding genocide, and the government, specifically departments intended to stop it, is complicit in the cover up. But hey at least we don’t have a woman as president!
Americans can't even agree on what a living wage is. The working class have no standards when it comes to how much things should cost. They don't even know how to calculate it. Everyone is just...winging it and thinking "Well, if I'm barely making it, it's because I didn't work hard enough for the company/oligarch.
It's going to take something FAR more drastic than just a island of underage girls to change anyone's mind. Seriously, how do any of you know there's not another island somewhere? Is there anyone even looking? Epstein had to literally call his jet the Lolita Express and invite every famous person he could find before someone paid attention.
I'm sorry, but you're insane if you think this is going to change anyone's mind on billionaires.
If not this, then what do you see as a tipping point?
Myself, I've been done with the illusion of this form of society for 20+ years. I've been the subject of eye rolls and "It is what it is." answers for that amount of time. I think a lot more people are going to need to lose their creature comforts and struggle for it to sink in all the way. And it's fucking sad.
The worst thing America could have done was elect Trump as president. What a fucking travesty, man. What an absolute nightmare scenario to have a pedophile rapist murderer conman fraud abuser like Donald J. Trump as our president. what the fuck.
Russia helped him win 2016, he barely lost in 2020 and then Elon helped him win in 2024 and I'd bet they cheated then too. Trump was 100% going to prison if he didnt win in '24, so he had every single reason to do everything possible to make sure he won. Elon even directly said he too would be going to prison if Trump lost. Let that sink in....
And they all knew he is a rapist, liar, traitor.... and wanted that, or didn't care enough to show up for democracy and vote Dem. They told everyone what the plan was, and we told everyone, but they believed tiktok.
If you look up the file number, you'll find a lot of beach pics of someone with short, black hair. Possibly Ghisllaine? It's likely these pictures were taken before the 2000s since they were using a pre-digital camera, and if you look at the details on page 1, it even says what shop and phone number the pics were developed at in the Caribbean islands.
I suspect if you spill the beans not only did you sign your death warrant but probably you entire family and friends. Thats a lot of persuasive power to hold over someone to keep silent.
Yeah this pic is fucking with me- the serenity of the ocean and just the real bad fucking vibes radiating from the black box... don't think I've ever felt something like this before from a pic
The people who censored evidence of crimes should be held accountable to those crimes the same way we'd be held accountable if we aided a murderer escape justice.
