I had a thought about this whole pedo island thing. Maybe this was obvious to just about everybody else, but yeah:

The underage girls were just there at these parties. All the time. People didn't necessarily come specifically because of them (or at least it appeared that way). But it was all very obvious: for many attendees, the main attraction is sexual abuse, and these girls are clearly younger than 18. Maybe a man would look at one of them and they'd disappear somewhere, whether that was planned beforehand or not. You don't need to be a genius to understand what's going on here.

This would mean that nobody who even went to one of these parties was innocent. At the very least, they were condoning what was happening. Pretending that these were just super cool VIP parties, whaddoyou mean pedophilia?

And of course the vast majority of them are lying about it now, as they probably did for decades.

But Epstein wasn't quite careful enough wrt plausible deniability.


Anyhoo, the fact that the files still aren't fully released and instead being used to keep people busy while the admin is dismantling democracy, needs to end.

Your scenario is not the reality exposed in the emails, though. There were no masks. They negotiated the sex crimes beforehand and took photos that reject any attempt at “masking,” literally or figuratively.

I didn't mean it that way at all.

I meant that, to an unobserving and exceptionally dumb attendee, these parties could appear as "just parties" - or at least provide them with plausible deniality along these lines.

I have edited my previous comment to make that clearer.
