Trump wasn't a client, was he? He was a full blown accomplice, judging by the overwhelming amount of times he's mentioned...

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Supplier. In addition to reports of teenage female staff members being "sold" to JE, don't forget that Trump owned the Miss Teen USA pageant for almost 20 years, up to 2015.

He was a dealer that was getting high on his own supply.

Trumps name appears in the Epstein files more then Harry Potters names appears in all 7 Harry Potter books.

That's not true. Trans people are mentioned. Not by name, but rather how to design perfect sex slaves by transitioning people.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 43 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I fucking hate that no matter what happens, everything involving trans people somehow comes back to harm us. This is why they've been screaming "protect the children", because the only way they can visualize trans children is as sex slaves. These people do not belong in civilized society

[–] MalReynolds@slrpnk.net 15 points 3 days ago

Enslaving people is basically normal capitalism, sex slave children is just a natural extension. And may I say it's a blessing that this platform let's me say that.

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

I believe the context was more forcibly transitioning children.

Eh, actually trans people ARE mentioned but like, in a creepy ass way talking about how to DO things to them. Like. Its disturbing. No trans person is IMPLICATED in the files however.

[–] Focal@pawb.social 21 points 2 days ago

Came here to say this exact thing. Just goes to show it's always a liiiiittle worse than you'd expect with these files

[–] Berengaria_of_Navarre@lemmy.world 47 points 3 days ago (3 children)

To be fair Epstein did talk about forcing transition on young boys and raising them as sex slaves. And he was 100% a chaser which came up many times. But trans people were never mentioned as perpetrators of abuse only as victims.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

just like trans people been saying for decades

Yup, the “democrats are forcibly transitioning your kids” conspiracy theories that conservatives parrot has 100% been coming from the fact that the billionaires wanted to do exactly that. They wanted to forcibly transition children to keep as sex slaves.

There are multiple documents in the files confirming this… They even go on to justify it by saying that they’d be doing the children a service, because it would allow them to make more money as prostitutes or porn stars after they’re too old for Epstein’s clients.

There’s a weird branch of conservatism that is really into forced feminization as a kink. That’s why trans women are vilified, but femboys are somehow okay with many conservatives. To the conservatives who are into forced feminization, the femboy is just playing into that kink, and they can tell themselves that it’s forced. They don’t see it as gay, (which would be wrong, as conservatives hate the evil gays), because it’s forcing someone to be feminine instead. But trans women take it too far for those conservatives, because it removes the “I’m forcing them to do this by being more masculine” power dynamic that they enjoy with forced feminization. With trans women, it’s very clearly something that they’re doing to themselves, not something that is being forced upon them.

But with the billionaires, that latter part isn’t a problem. They literally could force kids to be trans. So it just plays even harder into the forced feminization kink that so many conservatives have… It’s the natural end stage of the kink for them. Trans girls don’t break their illusion of power, because the power is not an illusion when you’re that rich.

[–] bountygiver@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 days ago

When people says both sides, it is referring to both of them serve capitalistic interests over the general populace. Of course one side is much more blatant to be a fascist than the other.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I opened car radio few days ago and fox news was arguing Biden is worse than Epstein because "He let bunch of people in and immigrants' crimes hurt the kids on a larger scale."

[–] Matombo@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago

also if a politican on the left is involed in shit, his voters demand an explanatiom from him and if it's not good they will drop him and demand a trial. trumpist on the other hand now despreratly try to rationalize child rape ...

This is wrong. Epstein had an email discussing MTF porn and noting the lack of FTM porn out there and considers grooming young boys to be transition to become a new product category for him.

This is not a joke, by the way.

The only guy I'm really surprised to NOT see in the files is Charlie Sheen. Apparently he is just a weirdo, not a pedo weirdo.

[–] Matombo@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago

maybe he is a big tits guy and so he had no interest in who trump and epstein trafficed on their island

Musk being ghosted and still in the top 5 of this list is hilarious.

Desperately wants to hang out with the deranged old cringey pedophiles.

To cringey to hang out with the deranged old cringey pedophiles.

The truth is Trump and Epstein did have a falling out. It wasn't because Trump disapproved of what he did. It is because he was in competition with Epstein.

Trump is a human trafficking chomo who didn't want Epstein in on his child molesting/blackmail/influence operation.

Lock him up!

There's a huge difference about the way the media is reporting the horrific information uncovered in these files.

Independent media, who are having to read the files themselves and view the images and the videos, you can just see that they are damaged by that information because it's so disturbing. And the vast amount of it is so overwhelming. You can see that they're upset by it.

But when you watch the mainstream media, the "Reporters" aren't really directly reading or viewing any of the file information. They're just getting a summary from somebody else in their organization who's reading it for them. And so they can report it very disinterested. They're actually downplaying it. It makes you think they seem more professional, but it's just because reporters in the mainstream media are not actually looking at all this awful stuff, and if they did, I think they would be reporting it much more accurately as the devastating and horrible thing it really is.

Yes. For example, I read in The Guardian (see #6) that Richard Branson was mentioned, but they only really talked about one line of one email and how he did not have anything to do with Epstein's real activity or knowledge of it, etc.

Then I saw the full content of the email where Richard Branson was offering Epstein direct advice on how to rehabilitate his public image after finishing his sentence:

Dear Jeffrey, It was really nice seeing you yesterday. The boys in Watersports can't stop speaking about it! Any time you're in the area would love to see you. As long as you bring your harem!

  1. I think if Bill Gates was willing to say that you've been a brilliant advisor to him, that you slipped up many years ago by sleeping with a 17 1/2 year old woman and were punished for it, that you've more than learnt your lesson and have done nothing that's against the law since and, yes, as a single man you seem to have a penchant for women. But there's nothing wrong with that. Anyway something along those lines.

It's such a disparity between the reporting and the reality I don't think it can legitimately be called reporting.

EDITED to add links and correct myself

Right but those thousands of Trump mentions were Epstein himself saying “why won’t Mr. Trump answer my invitations to the island?” and brainstorming with Elon Musk “how can we get Mr. Trump to come visit the island?” /s

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 days ago

According to the Google, and I'm not going to search further despite knowing it's unreliable, the number for Bill Clinton is about 50 times. Just because the OP didn't mention him, and also because that's rookie numbers. Even when you include Trump sucking Bubba's dick.

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 3 points 2 days ago

On the plus side, I no longer want to be a billionaire, so there's that.

So the Italian film, "Saló or the 120 Days of Sodom", turns out to be correct about the fascists, even if the director, Pier Paolo Pasolini, said it was a metaphor. He was believed to have been killed by fascists because of the director's anti-fascism.

Trans people are mentioned in the emails, but it's mostly disgusting chaser shit

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 13 points 3 days ago

Literally incorrect. The were some chasers salivating over trans woman in those emails. I.e. it is worse.

It is the characteristic of privilege and of every privileged position to kill the heart and mind of men. The privileged man, whether politically or economically, is a man depraved in mind and heart. That is a social law which admits no exception, and is as applicable to entire nations as to classes, corporations and individuals.

– Mikhail Bakunin
