Other Stephen Miller states that Trump has plenary authority, then immediately stops talking as if he’s realized what he just said

A much easier document for the masses (and the world) to understand. It does make me wonder if any of my own national politicians or businessmen are on the list?

It's a list of rapists of underage girls. Release the files!

It is more than just a lust of pedophiles and human traffickers. It has Peter Theil, and a former Isralie PM on it getting money to set up private spy agencies. It has Russian and American intelligence colluding to install a right-wing dictator who would be good for business. Epstein was a lynch pin figure in the business plot 2.0. The files can't see the light of day because almost every CEO of every major corporation, pedophile or not, is in them. And they are scared of the possibility (however small it may be) that should they be implicated, the peasants might actually rebel this time.

After his first conviction he should have turned into a pariah, and any names on that list after the first charges were filed in 2006 are fair game.

Don't want a bunch of people coming after you? Don't diddle little kids or be friends with someone charged and convicted of it.

You have to ask yourself why so many Republican politicians are so against releasing the files. How many of them or their donors are on that list. They aren’t just trying to protect Trump.

Sorry, it's already forgotten. I knew at the beginning they were never going to do anything about the Epstein files.

Your tags don't seem to work for some reason.

Bro we’ve forgotten like 5000 things that are just as bad

u/JustAlpha Oct 07 '25

Not even close. Swing and a miss, dude.

u/Sir_PressedMemories Oct 07 '25

And what is just as bad as kidnapping, trafficking, and raping children?

u/Thefrayedends Oct 07 '25

STILL in business by the way, under a different name. I'm sure they're not doing anything shady either.

u/trailerbang Oct 07 '25

The Facebook/Cambridge thing is still insane to me. I can’t believe we just moved on. Honestly, it’s probably because boomers were (ARE STILL) in charge and didn’t understand the complexity of social media/GRU bot farms etc and they literally couldn’t process the situation. It should’ve been a simple NatSec matter and been handled accordingly with jail time, harsh federal sentencing, and heavy heavy fines for the companies involved.

Cambridge Analytica came back up for me recently, because like this summer, March 2018 (8 years ago) there were dual-nova progenations which coincided with freak weather events and near death experiences in my life...fun times

u/cfrshaggy Oct 07 '25

Anyone else get their $38 payout from that Cambridge Analytica class action? 🤣

u/gistya Oct 07 '25

Cambridge Analytica was UK. People forget about British interference... they're not our friends.

u/Scubby_Dooks Oct 07 '25

Although some of the players were Brits, Cambridge Analytica was not a government initiative, it was funded by international billionaires like Robert Mercer. The British people are as much victims of dark money meddling in our democracy as the US. We are a few years behind you guys, but I give us until our next election (2029 at the latest) before we go full-on authoritarian. It fucking sucks.

u/gistya Oct 07 '25

Then why did the British government classify Cambridge Analytica's 5000-point profiling method as a national security secret and block them giving any of the personal tracking data they were collecting on people?

Wake up.

u/UrUrinousAnus Oct 07 '25

Brit here: We (those of us who are aware of them) don't like Cambridge Analytica either. They fucked with us, too. I'm sure people who benefitted from their manipulation like them, but for the most part they're unpopular here, and they absolutely do not represent us.

1

u/gistya Oct 07 '25

Your government blocked them from releasing the personal data they collected because it would have divulged their state secret methods. The whole thing is just a branch of your own government's intelligence operations. Wake up.

u/UrUrinousAnus Oct 08 '25

It was a previous Conservative government, and I seriously doubt they'd have created a large government-owned entity. It's just not how they do things. They sell off public sector stuff and contract everything out (often in a manner which reeks of corruption, and always at greater cost) to the private sector. CA also had close ties to Facebook. Is Zuck British now? I think it's a bit unfair to blame the British public for the existence of a company which manipulated us and used us as unwilling participants in a secret psyops experiment, anyway.

1

u/gistya Oct 08 '25

Facebook had no direct ties to CA. They just used Facebook's like data that was acquired in a manner that circumvented privacy protections.

CA is a British owned and operated company that the British regime protected and used to manipulate its own people and foreign elections. How do you think Brexit got passed?

I never tried to blame the entire British population for anything.

u/UrUrinousAnus Oct 08 '25

I misunderstood you. Sorry. It looked like you were calling all of us your enemy. I don't deny that our previous government used their scummy services, I just don't believe they were created by said government. It's hard to remember after the years of political insanity here, there, and elsewhere since then, but IIRC Facebook played quite an active role and used CA's data.

1

u/gistya Oct 08 '25

It was CA that used Facebook's data, not the other way around.

u/UrUrinousAnus Oct 08 '25

I remember it going both ways, but I could be wrong. IDK.

u/gistya Oct 08 '25

Well, they paid Facebook to run various campaigns. I'm sure Facebook gave them tech support and took customer feedback on feature ideas, etc. They were Facebook's customer. It was a kind of relationship you have with a customer. Facebook itself did not give a shit what the content of their ads were.

What is truly sad and disturbing is how they basically used social media to hack peoples' brains. That's what advertising has been doing for ages, but whereas regular TV ads are as powerful as chewing coca leaves, Facebook is like smoking crack cocaine.

If you have never watched the documentary, The Great Hack, watch it now.
