Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Someone has to do it.
muted = nothing.
Sure, censure is also biased...
If I were a conspiracy theorist I would say that the release of the Files were redacted in such a way to topple political adversaries in Europe. I mean that goal is part the Heritage Project 2025.
They very obviously redacted things like “don’t” in some PDFs I’ve seen. Hmmm. Don’t. Don T. Wonder why that was done.
What's with the constant use of = throughout the emails? What am I missing there?

I'm just waiting for the Michael Scarn - Dwigt case where something like Domald Trumo shows up.
I have been following British media a bit and unless I am mistaken, this Mandelson chap ran afoul of his Epstein conduct back in September, which was before the DOJ even started releasing the Epstein files as part of the Epstein act, which hadn't passed at the time. The subsequent release and redactions seem to have exposed even more, but his goose was cooked before that.
Current allegations are that Mandelson handed Epstein extremely sensitive government information. I forget what Brits call it, but we'd say it was classified.
And it currently seems like PM Kier Starmer is probably going to fall with him, since he apparently knew about Mendelson's continuing association with post-conviction Epstein.
Anyways, that one particularly seems somewhat unrelated to the redaction choices.
"And it currently seems like PM Kier Starmer is probably going to fall with him, since he apparently knew about Mendelson's continuing association with post-conviction Epstein."
we can hope.
The problem is that unless Labour finds the most competent prime minister in British history, the clock is ticking until Brits elect Prime Minister Farage. Association with pedophiles and bribery is only toxic for left wing politicians (including pretend-left like Starmer).

Starmer is neck deep in this, the cynical cunt. He was chosen to side with Israel come blackmailing of politicians in treason or cancelling the right to protest and freedom of speech. Somehow quashing dissent on Israel is more important, them and their financial backers being on video fucking children held by Israel explains why they do care so very much more than they should.
Mandelson got outed last fall, I thought he was let go then, the guardian podcast in focus was talking about him. Just a year or so earlier he was unapologetic in his undying fraternity with Epstein, telling inquiring journalists if they didn't like it they could go fuck themselves, kind of attitude.
He changed to contrite last year.
Trump never would have reversed course and encouraged the release unless his team had figured out how to weaponise them.
"Why isn't the US government prosecuting the pedophilic billionaire death cult?"
My dude, the US government IS the pedophilic billionaire death cult.
You’re leaving out Israel
Shame if international agents swarmed America to capture all these pedo billionaires.
It's a shame that the US population is STILL waiting for someone else to come and fix the quagmire they have gotten themselves into.
And it's a shame that the rest of the world is waiting for the US population to fix this quagmire. When has a fascist movement ever been taken down from the inside, or been contained just in one country?
Plenty of them have, for the last century America has just swooped in to install a dictatorship favorable to them anyway if they couldn't sabotage progress beforehand.
Too bad your nation has embassies in every other nation making our resistance easily dismantled.

yeah, like any good gangster tramp hires nobody that he hasn't got some leverage over. They're all covering for each other's bodies in the closet.
It's almost as if the US is an oligarchy and that the ultra wealthy are able to govern the nation with political influence and shield themselves from the law.
This should be a wake up call to all citizens. It doesn't matter who you elect. Your interests will never be represented until this oligarchy is broken up or destroyed.
Exactly. They own the US and are not subject to laws. Only you are.

More muted = nonexistant !
Oh, there will be fallout - it'll be complete bullshit, and the worst offenders will walk free. But they will just use it as ammo against political rivals
"Muted" is one word for it.
Nonexistent is another.
The only person who seems to have suffered any real blowback is the "pussy is low carb" guy, who probably wasn't raping kids, based on his presence in the files. Larry Summers had to give up his teaching job, but he'll be fine. He's got generational wealth.
Also, this is why Donald wants you all posting about him being a racist. Stay focused on Epstein.
We didn't need to release the files to know a lot of the people in them, so of course there would be no cultural shift when we confirm it. The physical evidence may matter in court, but not for public opinion.
Can't wait until they extradite the paedo prince and stick him in that shit hole jail Epstein and Diddy went to
That pedo prince (Andrew) isn't a Prince anymore. There is also the Norwegian creep, he's being reinvistigated again. But that won't take care of the real problem, will it?
