I'm going to dereference it as soon as it arrives.

Not just a client, a business partner. Epstein was known to operate out of Mar Lago.

I wonder if Epstein's death opens the possibility of the list being admissable evidence since there is a hearsay exception for the death of the declarant. I bet they didn't consider that when they were facilitating his suicide.

They don't want to be woke. Ergo, they wish to remain sleepy sheep.

The logic being "it takes one to know one?"

Waldo out there enjoying the cigarettes and milk that he went out for. Maybe someday he'll remember to come home.

I got banned from a community where I agreed with probably 90% of takes. Ended up having to block a whole instance because I would type replies on unrelated topics only to be told I was banned - would be nice to know that before I wasted time typing a message.

Ah, yes, the super well funded climate researchers are murdering people with climate controlling Doppler radars in order to make the poor innocent petroleum industry look bad. All so they can make $120k, if they are extremely lucky. It is definitely not petroleum industry executives making millions spreading disinformation so that they can continue to loot the rest of us.

Statutory rape is rape, too. If the fat fuck sues, Epstein's list is relevant discoverable evidence to AOC's truth defense. I will call that fat fuck a rapist every day until he sues, so that I can serve discovery on his stupid ass.

Clarence thinks he should only count as 3/5ths of a person in the census. He doesn't even get mad when Trammel Crow calls him boy.

Looking forward to another Moore tornado, but with no warning sirens. When people die will the prosecutors have the nads to come after these dumbshits?

Was the NRA the official sponsor of this moment of self defense or did Glock outbid them?

It took 20 years to catch the unabomber, and he was only caught because his brother recognized his writing and turned him in. That was a high profile case with a repeat offender so had way more resources thrown at it than would be thrown at a case of "I lost my fingers to a firecracker in a decoy wallet that I stole."

 

I am not much of an implementers, but if we wanted to do something to target and reform our screwed up society, I have an idea. The great vulnerability of our capitalist culture, especially in the U.S. and Western Europe, is fractional reserve banking.

For those that don't know, a quick summary is that any given bank only has to keep a small percentage of their deposits on hand. This allows them to invest other people's money for fun and profit. Many resources explain the concept and its evils in far more detail than I can get into here.

So how is this an exploitable weakness? Well, if you have seen It's a Wonderful Life, you probably already know. Because banks only hold a fraction of the reserves needed to cover their depositors' accounts, they are vulnerable to "runs." A run on a bank happens when the customers lose confidence that the bank will be able to cover their deposits and rush to withdraw their money before the bank runs out of money (FDIC insurance was setup to protect depositors from this phenomenon).

How do we use this to fight the bankstas? We deliberately cause runs on banks. Of we can get enough people to withdraw their money from a bank, the bank won't be able to return people's money to them. Even if you don't have an account with the target bank, you can help by spreading fear (Big Bank is the targetof an internet attack, ge yourmoneyout before they collapse - you don't want to have to wait for the FDIC to give you your money, do you?) An additional collateral attack than can be made is to simply not pay any debts (mortgages, credit cards, etc) owed to that same bank. The non-payments will accelerate the time frame for which the bank will run out of money.

Also, if you short the bank's stock before the run or when it starts, you can profit from the banks collapse.

The real key to the plan (the part I haven't figured out yet) is how do we get enough people to panic over a particular bank to get the party started. Subsequent banks should be easier after the first.

Be aware that some states have laws that make inciting a run on a bank illegal, although the constitutionality of such laws is still up for debate. Truth is a defense to libel, so if there is an attempt to sue for that, you get to conduct in depth discovery on the financial condition of the bank (just how bad are all of those loans and derivative instruments they hold? How low is their cash in hand compared to their depositors receipts?)

 

We'll melt some permafrost and release trapped methane that will melt even more permafrost.
