And we see only the tame half of the Epstein files. The other 3 mil have not been released

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 38 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

And they say they can't catch criminals if end to end encryption exists. All this was over email in plaintext with their primary addresses.

This Right Here!

You're not distinguishing between "can't" (e2e) and "won't" (the obscenely rich).

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 10 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Not exactly - congressional investigations are going on, but processes IRL don't produce results in 22 minutes like on TV. It doesn't work like, "We see you're in the files, welcome to jail."

Dude it's been like a decade since this stuff hit the front page of the news, come the fuck on with the shitty apologism

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (2 children)

Epstein himself was indicted more like 20 years ago. The 22 minute TV show reference was overly sarcastic, but I'm not an apologist for anyone. The justice system is just excruciatingly slow. My belief is that Bonespurs will probably dodge all consequences by having his final Big Mac Attack. With him gone, his coattail riders will probably start backstabbing each other and maybe then we'll see some action.

This isn't a "justice is slow" problem. This is a "the justice system only serves to punish the poor and powerless" problem.

The fact of these files is they were in the hands of the FBI and prosecutors 20 years ago. Nothing happened as a result even though there appears to be dozens of individuals capable of being charged with crimes. That's 20 years of incriminating evidence just sitting around collecting dust because it'd be politically inconvenient to pursue charges.

Justice moves rapidly when a power tripping cop wants to ruin you life. It moves very slowly when a rich pedophile rapes children.

if some random guy from the streets did the things on the files to someone, how slow would the justice system be then?

[–] Goodlucksil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

I would expect someone to report it. Is there any piece of media reporting politics without trying to be political?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago

That can't exist.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - all I did was google "Epstein investigations" - things not showing up on whatever feeds you scroll through doesn't necessarily mean nobody's reporting them.

Cannibalism? Hadn't heard that part before.

[–] slowmolaggins@thelemmy.club 19 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

There were a few emails from people asking epstein for some of his jerky. Annoyed replies saying that the supply of jerky given them should have lasted longer. Then an email from Maxwell saying something to the effect of "there will be no more jerky for a while, Mr. Epstein has decided to return to normal food."

I do not know in what other context that could have possibly been other than cannibalism.

And more! There's a Rothschild couple emailing about hunting humans something to the tune of "...bagged one and guess what?! They're n*ggers!"

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

Weird for them to censor that word given what they were saying.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 6 points 3 hours ago

Unless the weirdo decided to try a Slim Jim diet lol

“Adrenochrome” nonsense intensifies

Peter thiel drinking babys blood because "longevity" dude is evil incarnate

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 8 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Unlike that more civilized rich idiot who transfuses his son's blood in a desperate but futile effort to stay young forever.

Rich people are a different kind of crazy.

[–] rapchee@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

at least there was some sort of consent

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 9 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

My son talks about it all the time. Apparently they had codes and some of them were for eating babies.

[–] makeshift0546@lemmy.today 10 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I'm sure all of it conjecture or the Internet going wild.

I've seen fucked up shit come out from them but absolutely nothing that is going to bring anyone down in court.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 4 points 3 hours ago

I don't understand why you people are still talking about courts.

There are 8 billion of us, minimum.

*in the US. Norway has charged Thorbjørn Jagland and in the UK Peter Mandelson and the Andrew formerly known as Prince were arrested, plus a number of other countries have criminal investigations ongoing. All so far for corruption rather than sex crimes but that's probably a function of what's easier to prove in court.

[–] EggInDisguise@lemmy.blahaj.zone 51 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Andrew formerly known as Prince

Iirc, that was for sharing state secrets, not for being a pedophile rapist.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

They got Al Capone on tax evasion.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 33 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

On the one hand, whatever sticks. On the other, WHY can’t we somehow make child sex trafficking charges stick?

[–] NottaLottaOcelot@lemmy.ca 19 points 7 hours ago

Because when the top people presiding over sex trafficking cases look in the mirror, they find 14 year old girls attractive too.

the Andrew formerly known as Prince

this gave me a good chuckle

[–] redsand@infosec.pub 9 points 3 hours ago

He was released quickly. He and the diplomat were only arrested for leaking state secrets. GHCQ couldn't even pretend to give a fuck about the kids, rapes, murders, etc...
