Nah, you misunderstand, he's in there as a victim

[–] dogbert@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

Maybe he was one of the Epstein girls?

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 day ago

Lol that's what came to my head too, his wife however...

There's literally a post yesterday showing this is coming from a kremlin disinfo group.

Oh wow, that is good to know, albeit a link would be better than a statement

As.com.te is a state-ran Turkish media. Good to know. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anadolu_Agency

Upcoming politician in france wants to talk to guy who knows literally everyone

Im shocked

Seems to be related to politics, not raping children

Who isn't in the Epstein files at this point? It'd be a shorter list.

I guess that’l have to be good enough, ZoopZeZoop for world dictator!

God, you people are so literal. You know I mean people in power. Get your head out if your ass.

[–] B0rax@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago

You do understand that was a joke, yes?

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lol What do you mean, "you people"?

[–] hector@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You americans and your pronouns.

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I am pro-noun. What are you one of those verb-ians?

[–] hector@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Guilty as charged. I am in incorruptible verbier. I love to verb the wicked too. I just verbed someone actually.

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

I knew it! Better than an adjectivian, I suppose.

[–] dogbert@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean people in power.

The Epstein files are largely focused on Western ruling class and the Western political class. No need to drag the other half of the world into this pedo-cult.

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So far... there's still millions of documents to go and they've already uncovered Andrew (formerly Prince) and supposedly the Dalai Lama... so. I say again, the list may be shorter to name those not in it when it's all over (those rich, famous and powerful for YOU "the dense" PEOPLE)

[–] dogbert@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

A westerner.

the Dalai Lama...

Dalai Lama is a known CIA asset. I would consider him to be a Western figure, as his reputation and popularity is largely a Western creation.

It’s all the usual suspects. If you understand capitalism/imperialism this all points in the same direction.

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com -2 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Alright, if anyone non-western comes up in the files you'll automatically label them as western because of any association with imperialism/captilism thereby solidifying your claim? That shit is everywhere! I'd bet the Prince of UAE is on that list. UAE isn't western, it isn't even considered westernized, but it is capitalist economy. I'd say it is largely western yes, so far, but give it time.. more non-westerners will be exposed because fuckin everybody is on that god damn list!

[–] orc_princess@lemmy.ml 1 points 12 hours ago

Not the Chinese leadership, or the DPRK's, or Iran. Their point is that compradors that are aligned with western capital seemed awfully eager to be doing cruel shit with Epstein and other elites, while those opposed to them and seeking sovereignty weren't.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 13 hours ago

Are we seriously trying to argue that the UK isn't western? What are you even trying to say?

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago

I can't find Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, but Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem is mentioned very prominently, who has close ties to the Maktoums.
