      Epstein himself. The operation he and Ghislaine were running has a number of clients into boys. The Franklin scandal was likely the same CIA / Mossad operation, they sourced from a local boys school but there were girls like Alisha Owens too.

      Epstein wasn’t just about pedophilia, he was a full-service CONCIERGE, providing whatever service these rich psycho were willing to pay for. We’re hearing about the pedophilia the most, but there are also reports of murdering babies, cannibalism, hunting black people for sport, and more.

          In another email, dated Jan. 1 (year unspecified) with hidden sender and recipient, titled “the snipe hunt is over, moon crickets in field bag,” says in part, “Guess what? They’re n****s,” using a slur for Black people.

          Additionally, an email dated Oct. 24, 2016, with sender and recipient concealed, includes the message: “Got it! Amazing old male and amazing hunt!! My bankers should be careful…”

          In the same correspondence, another message, with the email address hidden but bearing the name of French banker Ariane de Rothschild beneath it, reportedly gives thanks for the “exciting” hunt.

      This is news because it provides evidence of what a piece of shit he is.

      Just one example: in Germany, even complete idiots can see why it is more than absurd for any state to use Palantir products. It is really sad that it is even necessary to refute this proposal by obviously corrupt politicians, but this connection to a child molester makes it at least a little easier.

            republican pedophiles currently running the government.

            and actively disrupting the investigation of a ring of pedos, and have been for a decade - Acosta & Bondi especially have been obstructing this since before either were part of the federal government.

            they all need to be on trial

          Correct. 89% to Democrats and 11% to Republicans

          From 1989 up until 2003, Epstein donated more than $139,000 to Democratic federal candidates and committees and over $18,000 to Republican candidates and groups

              Snakes are lizards for all intents and purposes, but colloquially zoologists and biologists won’t refer to them as such.

              Sort of like how birds aren’t reptiles (they are) and corvids are not crows (they are, unless you’re a dick about it)

        That Les Wexner deposition video literally looks like a lizard in a skinsuit. That guy doesn’t have any normal mannerisms at all. Between him, Zuck, and Thiel it’s easy to see why people get into the lizard thing - even if it’s crazy.

    The age verification and protect the children act serve only to surveil any political opposition and to allow for making more children sexually available to billionaire pedophiles.

      On the other hand, Thiel has given JD Vance so much preferential treatment that it is hard to make sense of it unless you assume they have a sexual relationship.

      We all assume he was getting boys from Epstein and Maxwell but do we think he killed and ate them? That’s the mystery in this fucked timeline.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
