I have spent hours looking through the files and some of the stories are absolutely disgusting. I am having such a hard time because so many citizens don't even know how awful they get and they aren't all even fully released... I am close to feeling like we need pitchforks, torches and shovels if this justice system won't actually do anything... He had a ranch where a witness wrote in saying there are TWO bodies located on the property and they haven't even reported that in the media. I'll link that one below too. It's just so... Horrible. We can't just pretend this doesn't exist... but idk what happens next for the United States and the world. It's not something a country just moves on from.

Remember, the FBI found NOTHING to even start looking into an investigation.

Zero reasons.

If this brings the western world down then good. Whatever happens, we cannot ignore it. This is what wealth in capitalists nations degenerates into.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 28 points 3 weeks ago

well some people are resigning due to being named in the files except the people in the USA. i dont put much hope for USA, but other countries might be able to do it.

Yes it’s terrifying, and so is that font you use

This isn't just about America, or MAGA, or even Trump. I always understood that this was an international enterprise, but as I read this stuff, I'm realizing that it was bigger and uglier than my worst imaginings.

I just read about a wealthy guy in a Detroit in the 70s who ran an Epstein-like operation on an island he purchased in one of the Great Lakes. He built a giant mansion on it, and started hosting underage sex parties for wealthy men. The article suggested that he might have been an inspiration for Epstein.

The point is that these people have always been here, and now that Epstein is gone, someone else will be taking his place. Nobody understands the scope of Epstein's business better than his best friend Trump, who also recognizes how lucrative it is, and he is psychological incapable of resisting those riches.

He also has easy access to plenty of sex products. He has enormous detainment centers full or poorly documented children, separated from their families, lawyers, or anyone else who might care about them. They could be disappeared for a long time before someone notices, if ever. I'm sure we'll find that the prettiest ones, of both sexes, are being scheduled for transfer...somewhere.

Putin has also kidnapped thousands of Ukrainian children, another source for East European girls, for those who aren't turned on by brown children.

You can bet that someone is rebuilding an international child sex operation somewhere, and I'm betting that Trump is in on it.

It gets even worse when you realize that the reason why these people don't want social programs is because they need poor, vulnerable kids to prey on. They managed to convince people to literally sacrifice their children, albeit quite indirectly.

Makes you think about USAID...and wtf DOGE may have destroyed there. DOGE's whole point was to burn as much evidence as fast as possible. Wonder how many of those 125+ year old SSI beneficiaries managed to show up to vote in 2024.

The scary part, is now that Epstein is gone, it’s all just happening somewhere else.

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I imagine he was one of many as well, and most of them probably aren't dumb enough to fill their inbox with evidence.

[–] epicthundercat@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago

Now we know why there are so many missing kids every year... Messed up

This is what I don't get when folk online treat girls under 18 of any age as the same thing. A full grown person who's a 30 something adult being with a 17 year old is exploitative, controlling and weird.

Being with an 8 year old is monstrous and, frankly, worthy of the death penalty.

I'm not excusing the first, but do people really see no difference? If you need a legal line in the sand to determine if it's either totally fine or straight to the guillotine then maybe there's something wrong with you.

[–] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 31 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Fuck, man, doing this to an adult is heinous. Doing it to a child? I'm not typically a violent person. But I'd kill them.

Both deserve jail time, and the only people who really care that much are usually from the former group distancing themselves from the latter.

Both are fucking gross. I don't care who's more evil, I both want them shot into the sun. Second one just might deserve a slower ride so they feel the burn a bit more.

There should not exist a class of people with such unaccountable power that they can do these things and get away with it.

This isn't just about Epstein, Trump and all the other child rapists on those files (although they should definitely go to prison); it's about the system that makes this possible, and puts the worst possible people in a position to do this and get away with it.

Anything less than death is far too little for these sick fucks.

Swift and quickly, this needs to end and be left in the past.

It's crazy that we are living in a surveillance state and it isn't even good for bringing the worst people to justice, they know it's happening and let it happen while the monsters chat about it on fucking gmail while the rest of us think about being watched and worry about getting in trouble for every minor little thing.

What else are liberals going to need to realize that there is no reform for this sytem? I couldn't fabricate something that so obviously demonstrates that this system is built to the benefit of the wealthiest through the brutalization of everyone else.

I think your font choice isn't helping. Justice.gov doesn't need a heart on the o.
Edit: I just read the picture and yeah - disgusting. If you want to make change, print out this page and send it to your congressperson

[–] epicthundercat@lemmy.world 34 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

It's the font on my phone in general as it's default. I am dyslexic and some fonts help me process better. Sorry

[–] doctordevice@lemmy.ca 21 points 3 weeks ago

It is a bit jarring, but your context is more than enough. Sorry you have to deal with that, no need to apologize to anyone for trying to keep your own world accessible to you.

Crist... whoever is responsible for this, or did this to another human being needs to be fucking shot. Not in the head, no no... but in the knee caps, shins... everywhere to make it just-as, if not more painful than the pain their victims felt.

[–] madjo@piefed.social 18 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Those poor girls...

We need way more than just pitchforks. These monsters need to feel the same type of abuse they inflicted on their victims.

Thanks for the trigger warning. That font really makes me mad.

[–] epicthundercat@lemmy.world 30 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (9 children)

I mentioned this. I have dyslexia and some font helps me process faster when I read and unfortunately the less straight and even the better. I also like Open Dyslexic and comic sans and I know most normal people hate them but I am not going to change what works for me to appease internet strangers. I do apologize though if it's annoying.

P.S. I also miss early internet days, when everyone customized things more. The creativity has been sucked out by corporations and government.

On a side note, we know that hundreds, sometimes thousands of children disappear in war zones. This has happened in Ukraine, is happening in Palestine. Keeping regions destabilised benefits monsters. I would argue most of the aggressors leaderships are proven monsters. Some of those are very well acquainted with Epstein.

You think we need pitchforks, torches, and shovels? They are armed with guns.

Typing on a forum won't do anything. Shouting real loud won't do anything. Protests won't do anything.

You can't appeal to a horde of psychopaths. Narcissists and sociopaths and psychopaths do not give a shit about you, and they never well. They would happily step over your dead corpse as they climb the Congressional steps to vote that day.

As an observation, I spent a while in France and I noticed something different about them. They don't put up with shit from their government. If a law is passed that many disagree with, they just don't comply. They refused to accept, for example, vehicle clamping. The government passed it anyway, so they started handling out kits to help people unlock them. People distributed them freely and would actively free any car they saw clamped. They tried to stop them smoking outside cafes. Zero compliance. Maybe it's a hangover from The Revolution, but I found this attitude heartening.
