pelespiritIs that gislaine? (sp is fucked up, I know)
It is, yes
Do we know it’s real? I can’t find any source for it besides blogs.
I see a lot of these types of photos shared around as a gotcha, but it makes me genuinely wonder: is there any reason to believe that everyone who visited the island was involved with sex trafficking minors, or even “just” skeevy barely-18s in bikinis type stuff? Obviously people like Prince Andrew (and likely Trump) were implicated in some heinous shit, and plenty of others willingly associated with Epstein even after his original conviction. But it seems like he and Maxwell would logically keep the worst aspects of their operation under wraps and only “initiate” people that they wanted to blackmail. At least, as long as it’s plausible that they used the island for regular rich-people-hobnobbing in addition to the criminal stuff, it feels bad to use a photo of them with someone as evidence that person is guilty (absent corroborating evidence of at least the fact that the photo was dated after Epstein’s first conviction).
That’s assuming the photo is real/accurate of course. I tried searching this one to see if it was before or after the conviction, and the only provenance I found linked it to some alt-right/4chan sites years ago.
TheDemonBuerThe answer to why powerful people in some other parts of the world face consequences, while in America they rarely do, is that elite impunity is now an American national project. …this has been the priority for the wealthy and powerful, who have managed to convince a critical mass of Americans that they will be able to enjoy the same privileges. They won’t.
They’ve been able to do this by creating a culture of politics as a team sport. By assigning people a political identity, they guarantee the acceptance and compliance of the people in each identity group. It’s nationalism but instead of nations its political parties. Anything and everything is acceptable in the name of our team winning and their team losing. They’ve convinced people that they shouldn’t seek to hold their team’s leaders accountable, because that would weaken the team and aid the enemy. But people should seek to hold the other team’s leaders accountable, because that hurts their team and helps ours. To that end, manufacturing fake crimes to hold their enemies’ leaders accountable for is acceptable, because, again, that helps our team win and winning is the point.
And we’ll beyond that, the billionaire class has fully captured the leadership of both parties and the media. In so doing have disenfranchised the constituency. This is class war, and the many are losing. Fight back by building community and ignoring their BS distraction talking points.
You’re not wrong, but right now one side are nazis.
We should challenge every seat with fresh candidates
The author is a moron or being purposely obtuse or is writing to blame all Americans because they were told to by their boss who is notably an Epstein associate.
All Americans didn’t choose to be controlled and now down to the elites. An overwhelming majority of voting Americans would be very happy to eat the rich but unfortunately all Americans appear to be easily manipulated by various types of media even in cases where they vote against their own interests.
The purpose of this and other mass media publications on who to blame for Epstein is to get the semi-educated American to go “Hmmm, yes all our fault. Oh well. Time to move on.”
And the only way to see if that strategy works is by what happens next election.
Remind your friends, family and people who are red, blue, black or whatever that they need to vote the establishment and Epstein class out otherwise this shit will continue for the rest of our miserable lives.
The project needs to be shut down
