What does the foot say?
Edit:
The release includes images of lines from the novel "Lolita" written on a person's body.
Great.
That’s really weird… straight up abuser stuff
Seems to be the beginning of the second paragraph of the book..:
She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock.
Which in the book continues with..;
She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita.
Bill Gates is so cooked.
melinda found out years ago
Imagine if Trump, Clinton, Gates and all the other high profile people implicated in this actually got arrested. It wouldn't just change the nation, probably change the world given who all had dealings with Epstein.
The girl in that pic is not at all, in any way, comfortable.
For reference,
Yeah even my autistic ass can tell this is close to a hostage situation.
The girl's hands in the picture with Bill Gates gives me the worst feeling, they look anxious, I don't know why, they just do.
it explains why he switched to reinventing his image with "philantrophy" decades ago, and how some of it has been disengenious.
Tax breaks as well
it's the tense closed body language, it looks very much like an "i do not fucking want to be here or near this person, i am trying to cover my private areas inconspicuously, do not fucking touch me"
oh look David Blaine does magic for rapist pedophiles.
What is it with magicians and Epstein, there's also David Copperfield
It is important to remember that simply being in a photo with Epstein isn't evidence they were a part of what was happening or knew about it. Being at the same generic rich person party as Epstein isn't damning by itself.
Epstein traveled in elite circles and obviously wanted to flaunt that access as much as possible. He was everywhere the money was, he worked in Finance for decades.
Likewise, almost surely not all visits to his Island were related to his sexual trafficking business.
Context is important, and that's why actual investigations into all of these connections are important as well.
If you lie with dogs then you will get fleas
Noam Chomsky? Wow...
Chomsky said that, at the time of his meetings with Epstein, "what was known about Jeffrey Epstein was that he had been convicted of a crime and had served his sentence. According to U.S. laws and norms, that yields a clean slate."
that kinda says all it needs to right there
Bummer, but into the trash heap with all the rest.
But I thought there was only bad people in the files.
At least fascism is finally comer to an end. This is it ridge? The files that tend Trump or whatever. The definitely not a distraction files.
Anyone have any idea what all those formulas on the blackboard are all about?
Top one looks like it's from an intermediate level quantum mechanics lecture. Less sure about the bottom one as it's generally less legible but it looks like it's dealing with probability density functions of some kind to me.
Oh those are very bad
