I don’t believe this. Needs to be an ongoing thing lest they get too comfortable.
Right? United Healthcare CEO got shot and killed and they didn't fall in line.
its also a low level ceo, andrew WItty, demsley are the ones at the top. also this CEO was likely to testify against UHG down the line due to insider trading charges in a seperate issue, thats why witty was so blase about his death.
Even if they stop raping children, the fact that there still are billionaires at all is a plague on our societies. They stole that money from productive actors in the society and freeze it or burn it for their fancies, which are usually either very inefficient or detrimental to us.
Guillotine them all, take back what's ours and start improving our standards of living, or saving the planet, or ending world hunger, or...
They won't ever stop. Raping children is a symptom of being a billionaire. If you want children not to be raped, you need to ensure nobody has enough power to get away with it, because otherwise some will do it just because they can
Guillotine them all, take back what’s ours and start improving our standards of living, or saving the planet, or ending world hunger, or…
If the world had the discipline to implement the change the billionaires could have been taxed down to millionaires a long time ago.
I wish someone had the kahunas to leak the whole unredacted lot. Would all fit on a USB stick. Make a few, send them out anonymously to media (probably ones NOT in the US to), see who reports on them. Also send them to a leaks site, and even 4chan/Reddit/Lemmy so checksums can be verified.
If multiple lawmakers and/or DOJ staffer did it, they can't blame them all if they tried to prosecute. Plausible deniability.
Anyone involved would end up like Snowden or Assange.
Important to remember what happened to them, esp. Assange.
But I'm not sure about it; they both, so it was argued, had endangered national security, military and all sorts of secrets etc.
This isn't the case for the Epstein files, they're all about influential "beacons of morality" partaking in depravity and debauchery.
Sure, the US would try to put a national security spin on it...
Well, don't forget "national security" has always been a euphemism for protecting the interests of the wealthy.
esp. Assange
Assange is a MAGA and Russian stooge.
And they'd succeed. I stand by the only reason Biden didnt go after Trump is it would set the precedent of Presidents being held accountable for all the war crimes they commit.
Obama was notorious for locking up whistle blowers, you think Trump would be any better?
its not like the gop isnt going to do that anyways, which they are doing.
Democratic Rep. Melanie Stansbury of New Mexico said she would name names...
Well... We're waiting
It's not that simple though. Any victims who are exposed get harassed by MAGA fuckwits.
If Snowden and Assange are any indication, the harassment will extend way beyond the right side of the political spectrum.
Yes, but lets not pretend that MAGA fuckwits will leave anyone safe.
seems like it might also hurt alot "DINOs' and donors that also donate to the DEMs, movie executives,,,etc, AIPAC billionaires, other world leaders.
That's fine. Fuck 'em.
It's like everyone's pretending to not understand the obvious - those 6 guys could absolutely burn Trump merely with their recollections, not to mention whatever kompromat they've managed to acquire. They're the guys that called Trump before the release and said "if I go down I'm taking you with me".
That's why it's called a pedophile or sex trafficking "ring", because they all know about each other but they can't snitch on each other because it just gets worse for them.
Ghislaine (?) is an exception because she's already busted. If she talks she will get endeadified.
This is what happening with Clinton, they've besmirched him, so now he has nothing to lose and is ready to sing like a canary.
Honestly, I just don't understand how these 2 guys can stand there and be so cool about it. "Yeah so there's definitely some really messed up stuff gone on, but hey the names are all black so how can we know?"
Am I being dense to assume that one of the six names is "Donald J Trump"? Why would he not be one of the names?
Trump's name appears at least 1 million times in the "unredacted" (less redacted) files.
It was 6 new names, Trump was already well documented before
The 6 names apparently had no obvious reason to be redacted. Trump's reasons for redaction are obvious.
That "at least" is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
Over millions of pages there’s only 6? Or 6 so far?
Six so far, based on the limited time lawmakers had to see the "unredacted" files, many of which were actually still redacted-- the Trump administration is playing an organizational shell game-- "Oh, the FBI did that, DOJ didn't."
Independent media, Status Coup, pointed out that after lawmakers were allowed to see the unredacted files, Trump's name was originally mentioned 38,000 times and, once unredacted, Trump's name jumped to over one Million mentions.
These are only the files they've released so far. There are 3 million more files that haven't been released yet.
