I suppose people are waiting to see if a prominent person is accused. Or maybe for accusations that are outrageous.

The stupidest thing about conspiracy theories is that they often assume that if "the public only knew" then something would change. "The public" doesn't give a fuck.

My opinion is that people just wanted to lock up Trump (or Clinton), and all the raped little girls are beside the point.

There's plenty actionable info in public already. Just nobody in the administration taking action.

What's public is very strategic. They published the wild but unverifiable stuff from random people . Syuff like Trump throwing children off boats or burying child trafficking victims in his very-visible golf courses. Stuff that isn't even looked into because it'sa random crazy person making random crazy person claims. But it still generates a report.

I work in government and deal with crazy people. I had a woman show up at City Hall last year for her meeting she arranged with Trump and Musk to help them overcome their differences. She insisted it was a real meeting, because she sent a meeting invite through Outlook. Then she forwarded me the invite.

So if someone sends an Open Records request to the City about any records involving Musk or Trump, there will be a record of a scheduled meeting between crazy lady, Trump, Musk, and me.

Those are the kind of records they are flooding us with right now with the currently-released files. This way, when the real stuff slips through it's dismissed by many as just more crazy stuff.

It's definitely this, but also shock and awe. Release everything all at once, but also not really everything, so there's a shitstorm of reporting with outlandish stories and ongoing criminality. The end goal of that is to traumatise the public into thinking nothing can be done, because everyone is both overwhelmed by the firehose of information.

We, the people, are waiting for ACCOUNTABILITY.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Accountability isn't going to come from the government, those are the same people in the files.

CSA survivor here, people really don't care as much as you'd think they should

[–] iocase@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's why it's so incredibly common (I'm also a survivor.) I often wonder how many people are pedos but you just never know. The apathy surrounding it must mean a lot more of them than we realize are pedos...

I feel like there are a lot of seemingly loving families with dark secrets. And they protect them in the family.

What is public that is actionable?

Nothing important, just hundreds of raped children. Many Americans go on and on about how they hate and would never tolerate stuff like that. liars.

Have a look for yourself. These are JUST the emails, could you imagine what the terabytes of videos they have hold within that haven’t been released yet?

Can you give me your strongest example of an actionable email?

[–] LucidNightmare@anarchist.nexus 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I will not do your research for you, sorry. I gave you the link, so maybe use it?

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why are you assuming I haven't already looked through these emails?

[–] LucidNightmare@anarchist.nexus 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm sure you have. That is why you are asking "what is actionable" to everyone's points.. Anyway, you should really look at them. You'll find plenty of them, if you actually look. Have a good one.

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I have looked through them, and yes I'm asking the people saying that there are absolutely "actionable" items in them to show me... any? You know, the barebones for backing up a claim...

But you all refuse, for some reason.

[–] pinto@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Trump isn't going to fuck you, bro. He's too into children. Stop the simping for him.

Just Vote! The Dems will do the right thing once they are back in power.

I've been going down a YouTube rabbithole about a recent LEGO related scandal. It's a long and complicated story I won't go into but it involves corruption being exposed in a company called Bricks and Minfigs and corruption also being exposed in a police department in Utah. People are being sued left and right, the guy who spread the word about the corruption is in danger of going to jail, BAM is losing a lot of business, but I haven't heard anything about the police being held accountable for their actions. The general public is punishing the big business involved by boycotting, but I don't know of anything being done to punish the corrupt police.

So I just keep thinking throughout this how exposing the corruption to the public leads to consequences if the corrupt group is a big business, but virtually nothing is dine when it's a government agency. And what can the public do? Can't boycott the police. We can demand accountability but we only have so much power. The main power people have over government is leveraging votes but now the American government is plotting to make voting harder. Exposing corruption to the public may damage big businesses but the public seems to be helpless when the government is corrupt. A fucking criminal organization is running the federal government and almost nothing is being done about it. The public all know. Now what's to be done?

Update: since posting this comment, I heard that the people in Fork, Utah are protesting over this. I wonder if they'll also be having a NO King's protest in that town today

Isn't it interesting they don't even go after Democrats, like Bill Clinton, Gates etc?

Yeah Clinton had hearing, but that just a spectacle, I'm saying there's no DOJ investigation.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If they go after a single person in the files it opens the doors to go after everyone in the files, they won’t do shit.

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, that is probably right.

I also think that once you are rich enough to be in that club, political affiliation is just for show for plebs like us and in reality they are all friends.

Their only political allegiances are to money and power, every single fucking one of them.
