That's not true. Trans people are mentioned. Not by name, but rather how to design perfect sex slaves by transitioning people.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 53 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I fucking hate that no matter what happens, everything involving trans people somehow comes back to harm us. This is why they've been screaming "protect the children", because the only way they can visualize trans children is as sex slaves. These people do not belong in civilized society

[–] MalReynolds@slrpnk.net 20 points 1 week ago

Enslaving people is basically normal capitalism, sex slave children is just a natural extension. And may I say it's a blessing that this platform let's me say that.

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

I believe the context was more forcibly transitioning children.

Trumps name appears in the Epstein files more then Harry Potters names appears in all 7 Harry Potter books.

Musk being ghosted and still in the top 5 of this list is hilarious.

Desperately wants to hang out with the deranged old cringey pedophiles.

To cringey to hang out with the deranged old cringey pedophiles.

[–] Goodeye8@piefed.social 8 points 1 week ago

Because he's so insecure he desperately wants to be in the "In" group. And he probably got ghosted because he's the kind of guy who'd go around bragging how he's in the Epsteins pedo cabal

[–] Berengaria_of_Navarre@lemmy.world 59 points 1 week ago (3 children)

To be fair Epstein did talk about forcing transition on young boys and raising them as sex slaves. And he was 100% a chaser which came up many times. But trans people were never mentioned as perpetrators of abuse only as victims.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

just like trans people been saying for decades

Yes, we have.

[–] Mic_Check_One_Two@reddthat.com 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yup, the “democrats are forcibly transitioning your kids” conspiracy theories that conservatives parrot has 100% been coming from the fact that the billionaires wanted to do exactly that. They wanted to forcibly transition children to keep as sex slaves.

There are multiple documents in the files confirming this… They even go on to justify it by saying that they’d be doing the children a service, because it would allow them to make more money as prostitutes or porn stars after they’re too old for Epstein’s clients.

There’s a weird branch of conservatism that is really into forced feminization as a kink. That’s why trans women are vilified, but femboys are somehow okay with many conservatives. To the conservatives who are into forced feminization, the femboy is just playing into that kink, and they can tell themselves that it’s forced. They don’t see it as gay, (which would be wrong, as conservatives hate the evil gays), because it’s forcing someone to be feminine instead. But trans women take it too far for those conservatives, because it removes the “I’m forcing them to do this by being more masculine” power dynamic that they enjoy with forced feminization. With trans women, it’s very clearly something that they’re doing to themselves, not something that is being forced upon them.

But with the billionaires, that latter part isn’t a problem. They literally could force kids to be trans. So it just plays even harder into the forced feminization kink that so many conservatives have… It’s the natural end stage of the kink for them. Trans girls don’t break their illusion of power, because the power is not an illusion when you’re that rich.

Eh, actually trans people ARE mentioned but like, in a creepy ass way talking about how to DO things to them. Like. Its disturbing. No trans person is IMPLICATED in the files however.

[–] Focal@pawb.social 24 points 1 week ago

Came here to say this exact thing. Just goes to show it's always a liiiiittle worse than you'd expect with these files

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 46 points 1 week ago (5 children)

This is wrong. Epstein had an email discussing MTF porn and noting the lack of FTM porn out there and considers grooming young boys to be transition to become a new product category for him.

This is not a joke, by the way.

  • No Harris
  • No Biden
  • No Obama
  • No Sanders

But mUh bOth sIdEs amirite.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I opened car radio few days ago and fox news was arguing Biden is worse than Epstein because "He let bunch of people in and immigrants' crimes hurt the kids on a larger scale."

There's a huge difference about the way the media is reporting the horrific information uncovered in these files.

Independent media, who are having to read the files themselves and view the images and the videos, you can just see that they are damaged by that information because it's so disturbing. And the vast amount of it is so overwhelming. You can see that they're upset by it.

But when you watch the mainstream media, the "Reporters" aren't really directly reading or viewing any of the file information. They're just getting a summary from somebody else in their organization who's reading it for them. And so they can report it very disinterested. They're actually downplaying it. It makes you think they seem more professional, but it's just because reporters in the mainstream media are not actually looking at all this awful stuff, and if they did, I think they would be reporting it much more accurately as the devastating and horrible thing it really is.

Yes. For example, I read in The Guardian (see #6) that Richard Branson was mentioned, but they only really talked about one line of one email and how he did not have anything to do with Epstein's real activity or knowledge of it, etc.

Then I saw the full content of the email where Richard Branson was offering Epstein direct advice on how to rehabilitate his public image after finishing his sentence:

Dear Jeffrey, It was really nice seeing you yesterday. The boys in Watersports can't stop speaking about it! Any time you're in the area would love to see you. As long as you bring your harem!

  1. I think if Bill Gates was willing to say that you've been a brilliant advisor to him, that you slipped up many years ago by sleeping with a 17 1/2 year old woman and were punished for it, that you've more than learnt your lesson and have done nothing that's against the law since and, yes, as a single man you seem to have a penchant for women. But there's nothing wrong with that. Anyway something along those lines.

It's such a disparity between the reporting and the reality I don't think it can legitimately be called reporting.

EDITED to add links and correct myself

[–] hector@lemmy.today 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And it appears the incriminating stuff is all redacted anyway. There is nothing reported yet about actual rapes of underage girls even though that's what this was all about. Using protecting the girls' identities and active investigatioins as an excuse they just cut the entire evidence of the rapes out of the material it appears.

So the media has an easy out, just reporting on who talked to epstein, who went to a party, and nothing of the details of these rapes, even as those details wouldn't identify anyone to any person that doesn't already know about it.

We need an independent monitor to decide what to release or not. If only we could leak the files, news organizations could decide what to redact, I would trust a number of them keeping each other honest far more than the government.

Bill Gates asking Epstein for antibiotics he can slip to his wife without her knowing because he got STDs while on the island should really be a bigger story, even from a popculture gossip standpoint.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I totally forgot about about that, what was it syphilis? Probably had something to do with his divorce I imagine. Giving your wife underage human trafficking syphilis Seems like a real last straw.

Trump wasn't a client, was he? He was a full blown accomplice, judging by the overwhelming amount of times he's mentioned...

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

He was a dealer that was getting high on his own supply.

Corrections : I don't want to sugar coat this by suggesting he was doing something as innocuous as peddling drugs. He's a human-trafficking child rapist who gets off on raping children and then threatening to kill them and their family.

Literally incorrect. The were some chasers salivating over trans woman in those emails. I.e. it is worse.

[–] officermike@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Anyone know if these numbers are legitimate or just hyperbole?

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

The bottom ones are hyperbole. I'm sure a drag queen is mentioned somewhere, but the top ones are probably just taken from the search tool directly

What counts as a drag queen, because I remember pictures of Trump motorboating Giuliani dressed in drag, and they are both in the files.

It is the characteristic of privilege and of every privileged position to kill the heart and mind of men. The privileged man, whether politically or economically, is a man depraved in mind and heart. That is a social law which admits no exception, and is as applicable to entire nations as to classes, corporations and individuals.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 week ago

According to the Google, and I'm not going to search further despite knowing it's unreliable, the number for Bill Clinton is about 50 times. Just because the OP didn't mention him, and also because that's rookie numbers. Even when you include Trump sucking Bubba's dick.

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 1 week ago (5 children)

The only guy I'm really surprised to NOT see in the files is Charlie Sheen. Apparently he is just a weirdo, not a pedo weirdo.

The truth is Trump and Epstein did have a falling out. It wasn't because Trump disapproved of what he did. It is because he was in competition with Epstein.

Trump is a human trafficking chomo who didn't want Epstein in on his child molesting/blackmail/influence operation.

Lock him up!

So the Italian film, "Saló or the 120 Days of Sodom", turns out to be correct about the fascists, even if the director, Pier Paolo Pasolini, said it was a metaphor. He was believed to have been killed by fascists because of the director's anti-fascism.

Trans people are mentioned in the emails, but it's mostly disgusting chaser shit

[–] boaratio@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Remember when the Clinton's were accused of running an underground pedophile ring at a pizza shop in DC? Turns out that wasn't true.
