One of the documents talked about how Trump and Epstein were involved in the rape of a 14 year old and the murder of her baby so… yes.
Didn't see that in the article, is there a link you can share?
Different post on Lemmy referenced this document. https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%208/EFTA00025010.pdf
jesus fucking christ
OMFG…. This shit is beyond sickening. What is the chance this was faked?
Well, the document is real, so the question would shift to of it could be a false allegation. I suppose for each document we can't know, so all we can do is keep in mind that any one document could possibly be a false allegation. If someone can connect this to other documents, that could help. Particularly connecting it to the claimed direct agent contact or followups.
On the one hand, it seems believable, Trump is a trash human known specifically for creepy regard for sexiness of underage girls. So undeniable that the reality of the Epstein release induced some die hard maga to pivot to a "technically not a pedophile if they started their period" bullshit. Openly ogling his own teenage daughter, peeping on underage beauty pageants, and after a casual interaction with a young girl the very first words out of his mouth were about when he could start dating her....
On the other I suppose we have to acknowledge that this was a tip submitted to the FBI website at the height of his re election campaign right when the death of Epstein and his Trump connection were national news, and all the stuff about trump was already common knowledge. Out of the hundreds of millions of invested parties, I wouldn't be surprised to find out some submitted bogus tips to a website, either not caring about risks or not taking the risks of false information over a web form seriously.
trump raped the pregnant teen til she gave birth.
Though that one had the most critical information unredacted. Certainly worth highlighting that particular document regardless, but technically not an answer to the question about redactions.
These are witness statements with evidence?
They used Russian propaganda techniques to deal with this, polarization, gas lighting, every trick in the book. Now the lines are so blurred, nobody knows what to believe, which is the true stated goal and accomplishment.
If you're American- realize that you live in the most heavily propagandized nation on the planet earth. Yes, worse than Russia, China and North Korea.
It's just the end results, achievements, goals are not aligned with what we might traditionally perceive as the end goals of propaganda. This includes corporate and government sponsored forms.
K. And what does this have to do with Trump being a pedo?
He's managed so far to have a pretty damning pile of evidence against him, to openly use the presidential office for personal financial gain (like billions, openly) to no avail. Even going as far as openly discussing no elections in 28'. It is playbook Russian propaganda tactics.
Which agency will physically remove the guy from the White House in 28'? If he captures that agency it's game over for democracy in the USA?
Bad, sure. The worst on earth? Bring the proof or expect us to disbelieve you.
Corporate propaganda pushes 10,000 ads on the typical american per day.
This leads to the most psychologically optimized persuasion (see propaganda) on the Earth- except it's not just commerical but includes privately funded algorithmic political, but overt and subtle.
Much of American culture is advertising, branding and political posturing.
