The Epstein Files

We keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down, and who knows even his regime or the empire.

These files are more crazy then I expected

[–] hector@lemmy.today 34 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This is less than half of the files, this is the mild part that the administration didn't mind releasing. This is the people they don't like. Which is to say the ones that didn't pay them off or have dirt on the president.

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 1 points 6 days ago

I thought they released it

[–] kingofras@lemmy.world 22 points 6 days ago

Thanks for saying that. For months many here have been advocating for these files to be released, and many others on the ground in the US and in DC, and many times (against the backdrop of Venezuela or Greenland or Iran) we were told that “everybody knew” what was in the files and that nobody cared.

Right now the files are still being used as a political weapon by the fascist regime to target people who didn’t pay enough loyalty to the emperor, like Gates, Clinton, Musk, Royal families in Europe.

There is a vast body, possibly much more than the DOJ is admitting (as there is literally no oversight), of documents that is being held back. This is the emperor showing and warning: pay fealty to me, and I can protect you, see what happens when you don’t.

That is the real game that is playing out before our eyes, and they are doing it with the hearts and souls of the victims foremost. So let’s not let up on the pressure and make sure their suffering is not in vain and we get accountability.

As someone not well versed with 4chan, what is POL?

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 66 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Basically where all their politics came from and pretty much the birth place of MAGA bros, Groypers, QAnon, etc. The stuff that infests main stream social media today all started on 4chan back in 2015. If bots got Trump elected, it all started with 4chan. It was basically ground zero for the state of the internet now. Subreddits on Reddit like r/The_Donald would have never existed without 4chan starting the memes and trends. There was always a joke back in the day with the cycle of memes on the internet. 4chan -> Reddit -> Twitter -> Facebook.

Here's an article that shows 4chans reaction to Trump winning in 2016. It's basically what Twitter looks like now with Trump winning in 2024.

Dumb shits, they've no idea what they did there, no one likes the clintons, but they helped doom the republic. Already terminal they are just, what do you call a disease you get because your immune system is weakened by another disease? That.

Opportunistic

Politics of the worst kind

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Specifically the kind that grew to take control of the US.

[–] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 29 points 6 days ago

Anonymous politics imageboard. Full of nazis. Epicenter of all the trump memes and movement that contributed to his popularity early on. Q-anon epicenter. Bunch of incel/antisemitic/fascist/racist types.

[–] hypnicjerk@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago

pol is responsible for the_donald, along with most of the worst wojak and pepe memes you've ever seen

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 17 points 6 days ago

It is an unironic nazi cesspool

[–] Ignoranceisnotabliss@lemmy.ml 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Politics board on 4chan known to contain a lot of extremism, conspiracies and federal agents (not to say that 4chan is aggresively fingerprints its users and has DIRECT connections to fbi)

[–] hector@lemmy.today 0 points 6 days ago

Ha ha, feds huh? I don't recall any prosecutions naming 4 chan and I read the news however. I do recall propublica doing a bit on something of the sort recently though. Whatchacall it, some murder group that warped dumbass kids. Mostly like eastern europeans but they pushed a lot of young men to kill strangers, gays, other others.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The majority of 4chan is on the politics (pol) board. Its probably the most impactful message board on the site.

[–] Ignoranceisnotabliss@lemmy.ml 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

majority of 4chan is on the politics (pol) board

No, it's on /b/ which is much worse

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

You are correct, and I've revised.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 25 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Another illustration of how people have always been delusional in saying that websites and the internet are just this other immaterial world and not part of reality. Acting like it’s not just a communication medium for real people who live in reality.

[–] standarduser@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Checks out that moot had ties, unexpected but checks out. 

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

how is this unexpected?

knowing everything I know about 4chan and moot, it's actually unsurprising.

if anything, I'm surprised that the link didn't come out sooner.

[–] uienia@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

Yeah, it has always been the biggest Trump/Putin propaganda central on the internet. And the whole qanon thing originated there.

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 6 days ago

The longer these Epstein files keep trickling out the longer the general public gets to digest each horrible bit of information. Nothing might come of it because we're not a nation of justice but it's nice to have some rage keeping the public warm.

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 15 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I'm worried to know what meating up with him means.

[–] Ignoranceisnotabliss@lemmy.ml 22 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

One more argument that 4chan is a government run honeypot, if the source code leak wasn't enough already https://soyjakwiki.org/Great_Cuckset#Source_code (bad source but it's true and straightforward)

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

Eyeing that domain, and assessing it as a risky click

[–] hector@lemmy.today 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

This is the first I'm hearing of this, I checked the source for a skim, idk what to think. I certainly don't trust 4 chan, or 8 chan, they are/were both trash, as far as I know, which is just what I've read in passing.

But, now that I think about it, the Q thing was birthed on 4chan, and the seed of truth in that was this, so huh.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 2 points 6 days ago

Meating up is probably right, more like veal sadly.

[–] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That wouldn't have been my guess. Hanging out with unsavory people certainly, but wouldn't have guessed anyone that prominent.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

"he was definitely hanging out with pedophiles. But we didn't expect it to be the popular ones"

You have a typo in his name. It ends with an e.

Pool's closed.

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

If "meating" wasn't enough

[–] McSausage@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Makes some of the posts from apparent LE back in the day a little more credible tho! Maybe all of them weren't trolls. Makes you think..
