The FBI has a project called ECAP, and basically some poor FBI agents have to watch CSAM to determine if they can locate the child or the offenders. Sometimes if they can get a shot of the offenders face or voice or movement, they post it on their website with the CSAM part blocked out to try and help find these sociopaths. It is AWFULLY hard to look at or hear even redacted like that. It's very clear what they're doing in the images.

So I cannot IMAGINE what this is like.

Every year it gets worse.

Some day these photos and videos may be used as proof for future generations against our "ruling class" @Harvard, Wall Street, JP Morgan, IMF, and various world governments (all?)

...although it will probably be after we are all dead.

Will anyone be willing to "take one for the team" and release all of this information? Or will it wait for our children's children to face the truth?

There must be at least one suicidal, spiteful CIA agent, right? COME ON

I'm betting tRump ate a child. Not sexual eating (though, probably that too). No, I'm betting with a fork and knife.

Some girls did not make it back from that island! No one is asking the real questions here. What happened to those girls?

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

The files themselves have witness statements describing at least some of the victims being thrown over boats.

There is evil reported in those documents that's not getting shared because the details are bafflingly evil and horrific, and nothing is going to come from it.

History will look back at this entire affair with the same level of horror as we look back at some of the most vile practices of the dark ages.

What do you think those 300 gallons of sulfuric acid on Epstein's Island was for?

[–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 2 points 22 hours ago

MAGA: "no, no, no, it wasn't to dissolve bodies at all! He was making crystal meth!"

spoiler(that's an actual argument some of the MAGAts used online already)

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca 1 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

What? Are you saying that's why half of the files are blacked out, show up how depraved you psycho really are.

[–] spaghettiwestern@sh.itjust.works 6 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

With all the information we have at this point I no longer have any doubt that the coverup includes unspeakable depravity as well as people murdered and disposed of by Epstein and his friends. If a Trump snuff video showed up it wouldn't raise an eyebrow.

I wonder how long the Grand Old Pedophiles will be able to protect him.

[–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 1 points 22 hours ago

No, that's just the DOJ censoring everything because:

  1. They want to save their Great Leader,
  2. They can't be arsed to do it properly and it's a shitty rush job.

We know this, because the initial release (with the famous whole pages blacked out) was blacked out using Adobe Reader - meaning, it was just a "black highlighter". Meaning: you could still copy all the text and paste it somewhere else to read it.

I’m ok with the U.S. government not actually distributing child sexual abuse material. I’m not ok with pretending it’s not there.

[–] redsand 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

US government helped make it.

Epstein sent FOIA requests to the CIA on himself about his relationship with them and they sent back only GLOMARs stating they could neither confirm nor deny anything because it would reveal information on classified programs. His bodyguard claims he was sent to train with CIA at Langley upon being hired.

Check the photos, scroll down to the documents. Dozens of "CSAM not scanned, 33 images" etc.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

No, we don't want it shared on the open internet but legal institutions and law enforcement agencies should absolutely have unrestricted access to all unedited video and photo evidence.

The fact that they're hiding evidence from state law enforcement is one of those things that is baffling that nobody is talking about.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 27 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I can understand them not distributing the unedited material, but it shouldn't be hard to get edited stills of any other people in the photos or videos, other than the victims. We should see the faces of these PedoCons.

If there was a situation I'd want something like palantiers software to scan a shitload of video footage and give facial recognition data and a summary to exist... this is it. But of course... since it would actually do some good, it's not being used for this case.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 38 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Palantir is more likely to be used to try and hide this shit than it this to try and bring it out to light.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Seeing as Peter Thiel is on the list, and frequented his island and parties, that's a pretty safe bet that thiel is working to quash any exposure.

I want to know if they abused boys as well, I bet they did, both thiel and mandelson are gay, and I bet they abused boys. But these releases from the doj are only a few of the people, not what they did. They don't have to id the victims, but if thiel fucked an underage boy, which we all know he did, it should've been disclosed. We need a way to get this information in the public domain.

[–] WamGams@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 day ago

you are saying that the guy who injects young boys' blood into his body to preserve his own youth is also raping young boys?

woah, man, you are sounding like a conspiracy theorist.

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 20 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Obviously, just pointing out... they literally have designed and are using a tool that has the exact capacities needed to do the unthinkable... IE watch countless hours of CSAM, that would wreck the souls of any human with a heart. identify and footnote every instance of a perpetrators face being revealed, identify and log the exact timestamp of each identifying frames.

We know they won't use it for this... but the irony of knowing they have the technology that has this exact capability, and are only using it to go after people that more or less have not victimized anyone is so disheartening.

It's like if they invented a small portable cheap device that could create safe drinking water wherever you need it, and their only thought was "hey we can use this to waterboard people".

death

I was happy believing snuff movies were a myth, or extremely rare.

Now I need these bastards dead (extremely painfully if possible, but I'll take anything that removes them from society).

I already did, of course, but now it's even more urgent.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I was happy believing snuff movies were a myth, or extremely rare.

I read a lot of anthropology and have read numerous stories about mass graves being found from pre-recorded historical times, early bronze/copper age days, excavations of giant pits filled with bones of women and children with cut-marks on the bones and signs of systemic, ritualistic cannibalism and torture. (bones that healed after being broken repeatedly to show victims were kept alive and immobilized.)

And the dark pill to swallow here is that we are the same species as we were then.

These were things done by developed humans who could write and do art and think. We have not changed or evolved, and the worst people among us will continue to do the worst things imaginable, which is a naivety that our modern world of comforts has instilled in us broadly and made us ignorant of and incapable of addressing with the severity and deadly punishment it should warrant.

Epstein was just one of many, many people who deal in this too. It's happening right now somewhere in this huge world. Probably in many places.

[–] Virtvirt588@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago

The moment children and then babies where mentioned, it was a sign that this is a much deeper hole. The initial stages where women and teens where mentioned was just the surface of true evil that lies within.

Where at the stage where we entered the unthinkable zone. Somewhere where the human part of a human doesn't matter and where children and even babies are being dragged down.

No you're right. We can't handle it.

Share it anyway. Whether or not we can handle it shouldn't be the issue. The truth should be. Let the world know just how awful these people are and the remarkably unfettered and despicable things they did.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yes, because you won't fucking hand it over. I'm not a fucking wizard.

It seems that Trump's pee tape may be the least of his worries. His snuff tapes may be a bigger problem.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 106 points 2 days ago

Death and physical abuse and injury are in the files. And supposedly only Epstein and Maxwell are guilty?

[–] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 45 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Rmember: Epstein did this alone and for himself. No billionaire friend was involved and no lackey ever helped. \s

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 days ago

... and anybody who claims otherwise is a conspiracy nutter! \s

[–] Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 53 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I've never lost sight of the "tens of thousands of videos," that were admitted.

Where's the 14 Tb claim coming from? I've not seen that before, just 6 million pages.

Edit: it looks like Channel 4 news has this scoop, they've seen emails from someone in the FBI who claimed there were 14.6 TB of data.

And then they passed this rule that only congress members (personally, no aides) can look at the files, on provided government computers.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

Making it impossible to well sift through them. Everything is done with lawmakers' staff. Lawmakers don't even read the bills they vote on, not even the ones they author. It's all their aides, if not other groups that write it for them, or give the model legislation to their aides that fill in the blanks.

Congress needs to pass new legislation to get this information out there somehow, this is open corruption to shield blackmailed child fuckers, how are we ok with this? No one thinks these redactions are in good faith, least of all the republicans.

Israel first always. This president made a mockery out of his own slogan in his dotage here, ultimately because Israel has him 7 ways from sunday doing heinous shit that even his base couldn't support. If the evangelicals drop him for moral reasons, it would have to be heinous.

They're on display in the bottom drawer of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying "Beware of the Leopard".

Those videos are horrible. I'm not exaggerating. But be forewarned.

I clicked on one, just one, and it took me days to get it out of my head, even though I saw nothing and the visual was almost entirely blackboxed. Just the understanding of what was happening and to whom did me in.

So be aware that if you do this without really knowing in advance what you're clicking on, it may fuck you up for a while.

You have been warned.

[–] multifariace@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I have a strong constitution for trauma. My curiosity and desire for removing horrible people from power is strong. I still don't feel safe opening those files. All I can do is hope that the right people do. People with judicial power and strength to effectuate action.
