We keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down, and who knows even his regime or the empire.

Excerpt:

Wasserman's connection to the Epstein records has been documented separately from Sheeran. The entertainment executive, who founded Wasserman Media Group, appears in released records concerning Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

According to a database compiling publicly released records, Wasserman is listed in 109 flight records and 19 documents connected to Epstein-related material. The records include a 2002 trip on Epstein's private jet to Africa as part of a humanitarian delegation associated with the Clinton Foundation.

Documents also include correspondence between Wasserman and Maxwell from 2003. Wasserman has previously denied having a personal or business relationship with Epstein, while reporting has detailed the circumstances surrounding his contact with Epstein's circle.

Shotgun boycotts are like the war hawk attitude, "Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out" - somehow it passes for ethical purity now.

funny how fencesitters are usually sitting on one side of the fence.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 17 hours ago

Well duh, have you tried straddling a fence? It's quite uncomfortable

Though then again it's uncomfortable because of the balls, which the fencesitters seem to lack.

'In these situations you really find out who your friends are,' he told the crowd in footage captured by a fan.

At the end of the show, a tearful Sheeran said playing the concert had given him hope. He said: “Everyone is telling me to cancel, and I’m feeling all of my friends and family and people I know abandon me and I look at the end of the week and I see 50,000 people who haven’t abandoned.”

... maybe our real friends were the pedophiles and genocide supporters we met along the way

[–] TaeKwonDoh@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Bold choice of words on Ed's part, considering that he first abandoned his friends and family when he decided that the favor and fortune of an evil billionaire was more important than solidarity with those who are suffering in Palestine.

The "tell it like it is" crowd or the "both sides bad" crowd exclusively critiquing the left.

It's probably best if we prosecute the people tangentially connected to people in the Epstein files. Otherwise we might have to prosecute the people in the Epstein files and we can't have that!

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 17 hours ago

My inner voice transformed into Bill Nighy as chief inspector in Hot Fuzz reading that last bit

"you'll continue to be exceptional and we can't have that"

[–] mobyduck648@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I want to see the Andrew formerly known as Prince subjected to a public trial and if found guilty by a jury, imprisonment like any common person. Alas his brother doesn't quite hate him enough to kamikaze over a thousand years of monarchy into the ground just to screw him over.

That would be funny as fuck for future GCSE history students to learn about though.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'd like to see just one american subject to a public trial. That may open the floodgates for the rest. Just one.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Our trials are public. Getting any of the Epstien Class indicted seems to be the issue, with one notable exception.

[–] Shameless@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

I definitely agree with this but i also feel that if you do put connected people who are in privileged positions of power then hopefully they too will turn against their masters.

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

Why not both? It isn't just a tangential connection - he's making money for them.

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

They're capitalists and heads of state: we're all making money for them until we get some heads rolling.

[–] asdfasdfasdf@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah but most of us are trying to survive. I doubt Sheeran is in a position where getting fired would compromise his wellbeing.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It seems my statement came across as an apology for Sheeran, when it was intended as a reminder that people like Kraft have set up the economy so just trying to survive benefits them. And so the only way to get rid of their power to buy everything, including complicity, is to get rid of them.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (4 children)

In Ed's defence, not that he really deserves any defense, I doubt Ed know about this. But still, fuck you Ed.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 44 points 1 day ago (2 children)

A lot of famous artists quit Wasserman agency last year specifically because of this. So it is almost impossible he did not know of it.

Coincidentally everyone signed with Wasserman agency never speaks out for Palestine except a rare both sides statement for some.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Oh, never mind then. Fuck you Ed.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

Ed probably just didn't want to take a stance on it.

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If we know there's no excuse for him to not know

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

I don't know about you specifically but "we know" because someone else looked it up and shared it.

I'd be surprised if, of the people that read the Epstein files and recognized Ed Sheeran's agency's boss name (Casey Wasserman) in them, that count had four digits. But maybe I'm just unplugged from the entertainment industry

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago

I'm also extremely out of touch with whatever's current, and I can afford to be because I don't work in the entertainment industry. Part of every celebrity's job is image management, a single scandal can ruin a career and they all know it. He didn't try because he didn't care, because he didn't think it would matter. He was wrong and now he's paying for it, and I think that's pretty cool and completely fair.

[–] Simon_Shitewood@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

He named his company after himself, and Wasserman has its fingers in every talent agency pot - MLB, NBA, NASCAR, PGA, they're in British football, in German boxing, they represent musicians, actors, filmmakers, YouTubers, eSports players, and more. I'm pretty sure it's that you're unplugged.

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I get that he's extremely busy with whatever the fuck he's doing, song singing and whatnot, but he's rich enough so he can hire a student to google all the names of the people who he's associated with and replace everyone who fucked kids. Hell, he's rich enough so he can hire two students so they can google each other, to eliminate all the possibilities.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

I don't know if I believe that. I mean how often if we heard the oh everybody knows but no one said anything story when it comes to the rich and famous and Powerful?

[–] shittydwarf@piefed.ca 30 points 2 days ago

Ladies and gentlemen he's going for the hat trick

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 0 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

any relation to Debbie Wasserman Shultz? You know, the head of the DNC that conspired with Hillary Clinton in the 2016 elections to force Sanders out.

edit: sorry internet stranger. sorry that DWS and Hillary were such scumbags that they attempted to circumvent democratic process and in turn destroyed American democracy all to satiate their greed and hubris.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

Unrelated in at least the closest 2-3 generations as far as I can tell. Casey's grandfather only had one child (Casey's mother who gave him the Wasserman name) whereas Debbie got her name from her father. Whether Casey's grandfather Lew had any siblings or cousins is harder to find out

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

you did the math.

[–] minorkeys@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Then go after Casey Wasserman, why shoot him? Is Sheeran in the files? You people need to work on your torch and pitchfork skills.

[–] timewarp@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (8 children)

Because Sheeran catered and caved to Robert Kraft, another Epstein associate and genocidal Nazi. Ed Sheeran seems to surround himself with a lot of Epstein adjacent people and pro-genociders. Then he caters to them like he's under their control.

Hmmm, when it's someone in the entertainment industry who's that close to Epstein, it looks extra suspicious. I wonder if he was part of Epstein's "supply chain".
