The Little Things

It really does seem a small detail, compared to all else, but what do we do at the intersection of the 2019 victim interview↱ in which Epstein allegedly wanted her to recruit more victims and specified, "Don't bring me any niggers", and the 2013 email↱ in which Epstein explained, "trump will be there. doesn't like black girls, calls them 'boogers', won't go w in 10 feet".

 
Bolded ia a bad supposition, since you know nothing of their feelings, emotions, or carings.
The bolded portion displays a truly staggering level of ignorance and idiocy.

In this latest document dump there are numerous instances wherein victims' names and images are not redacted. Yet plenty of material which ought to be present, like follow-up investigations into allegations, for instance, is conspicuously absent. Further:

_____________________
A witness swore under penalty of perjury that Donald Trump threatened a young girl, telling her she could “disappear like another 12-year-old female,” and then threatened to kill her entire family, according to Epstein-related court records.
This allegation appears in Dataset 9 of Epstein File EFTA01250883.pdf.

This is sworn testimony.

If the witness fabricated this account, they would face multiple years in federal prison for perjury.

One of the morbid jokes going around is whether to simply presume the second Trump presidency is the Epstein Offenders Administration.
Nearly a thousand mentions of "pizza", often paired with "grape soda", in this latest dump--clearly not really pizza and grape soda being referred to, but we can only guess what such are code for. And (the Trump regime largely being) a cabal of Evangelical pedophiles and human traffickers. We always knew that Pizzagate and Q were projection, but the degree... and the literalness and direct correspondences? Frankly, much more than I had ever anticipated and yet we've still only seen a portion, and with a whole lot redacted (excepting identities of victims, unfortunately).
 
Some OCRed sections:
======================
14. I personally witnessed Defendant Trump telling the Plaintiff that she shouldn't ever say anything if she didn't want to disappear like the 12-year-old female XXXX and that he was capable of having her whole family killed.

15. After leaving the employment of Mr. Epstein in the year 2000, I was personally threatened by Mr. Epstein that I would be killed and my family killed as well if I ever disclosed any of the physical and sexual abuse of minor females that I had personally witnessed by Mr. Epstein or any of his guests.

16. I am coming forward to swear to the truthfulness of the physical and sexual abuse that I personally witnessed of minor females at the hands of Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein, including the Plaintiff, during the time of my employment from the years of 1990-2000 for Mr. Epstein. I swear to these facts under penalty of perjury even though I fully understand that the life of myself and my family is now in grave danger.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Some OCRed sections...
Again, where are the follow-up investigations into these claims? Todd Blanche says the review of the Epstein documents is "over" and there will be no subsequent releases. Not hardly.
 
This latest release seems to be a dead cat strategy, to draw attention away from the murderous ICEmen.

Pretty much, if it involves doling out retreads. Civil allegations from past litigation attempts and settlements, that were already known, but still degenerate enough in details to preoccupy the press and the public. Could be some new shiny baubles in the mix, though. The Mar-a-Lago "calendar girl" stuff (whatever the "official" label for that is) has rolled around in a general mention way before, but probably not with the specifics.

At any rate, Trump knows that they are "bullets" that have bounced off him before, but are still gaudy and evil enough to distract and preoccupy the attention sphere for a while. Perhaps an upping of strategy, where any previous anxiety about and cautious need to subdue explicit horrors seems to be less a concern for the administration now. "We need a bigger show for them to gawk at while we carry out the next step for _X_."

It says something that I am currently reading a book by a priest (Walter Ciszek) spending years in a Siberian work camp as something to take my mind off current developments with the PedoOTUS and his buddy Jeff.

And yes, it would be really hard to imagine that all this redacting has much to do with tender feelings towards the victims.
 
Yet plenty of material which ought to be present, like follow-up investigations into allegations, for instance, is conspicuously absent.
No matter how hard capitalism tries to shed its dark history of slavery and owning people generally, you can still purchase (a) people, and (b) the law looking the other way. And (c), silence. My hope for the future is that it's getting harder to buy top quality (c).
 
That involves the sort of litigation that can take years, delays fueled by the victims rights issue. Pretending they care about victims provides them with excellent cover. And the administration overall "flood the zone" strategy keeps the courts clogged.
There might be value in starting litigation to keep applying pressure, but one has to imagine that neither Trump, nor the GOP, will be in power in 2028 (fingers crossed!). As such, the max delay that the current administration can achieve might only be a further 3 years. That's assuming a Dem President will have a compliant DoJ and FBI on the matter of releasing the details. The only options to ensure continued non-releases/non-disclosure might then be to either guarantee that the GOP are never out of power (election rigging or cancellation, for example), or destroying the documents. The latter would only be possible if the files are not already too decentralised, and let's not consider the former, as the Epstein files would be the least of the concerns.
 
Some of the investigations would have been during Biden's term, no?

The FBI and police were ignoring tips about Epstein and the content of lawsuit activity directed at him dating all the way back to the Clinton era. Negligence with regard to crime reporting is one thing, but that kind of apathy with respect to the other is commonplace. The allegations against Trump are grounded in civil litigation attempts. While the current DOJ is indeed responding as expected ("the accusations are false, exaggerated"), unconcern about the ingredients of these complaints and testimonies was in effect during prior administrations (including Biden's). The landscape of civilian disputes (we said / they said) doesn't provoke much attention from higher echelon authorities.

https://www.courthousenews.com/eigh...-investigate-sex-abuse-tips-as-early-as-1996/

EXCERPTS: In 1996, FBI agents began receiving credible tips that Epstein was trafficking young women and underage girls, but failed to interview victims, respond to tips or arrest the “pedophile billionaire,” the women said. That year, Maria Farmer and her sister Annie reported to the New York Police Department and the FBI that they, along with other minors and vulnerable young women, had been sexually abused by Epstein and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell.

“In response to the call by Maria Farmer, the FBI ‘hung up’ on her and did nothing to investigate the report,” the women said.

Between 1996 and 2005, the FBI continued to receive reports of sexual abuse, trafficking and human rights violations, yet failed to act, the women say. In 2002, Epstein was given secret service clearance for travel to Africa, where he travelled with former President Bill Clinton — according to testimony by former Epstein pilot Larry Visoski — and several “very young women.”

[....] It wasn’t until July 2006 that the FBI opened its investigation, after Florida’s Palm Beach Police Department received a report that a 14-year-old girl was recruited to Epstein’s mansion for a sexual massage in exchange for money. The police department alerted the FBI of likely child prostitution after it received the report in March 2005.

EXCERPT: “So, look, it’s not about President Trump. It’s about a ton of people, multiple, multiple people that were - quote - ‘in the Epstein files,'” Blanche told Bash.

The DOJ has disputed claims involving Trump, describing various Epstein-related allegations as “untrue and sensationalist.” The DOJ also warned that portions of the material contain false and exaggerated claims about Trump.

“Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election,” the DOJ wrote. “To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.”

Polls dating back a decades have shown that the overwhelming majority of Trump voters were not only aware of the multiple allegations against him--including his own admissions, of course, knowingly and unknowingly (hot mic)--but that most also believed that at least some of them were true.

IOW it would have been pointless to "weaponize" such since his supporters couldn't care less.

Also, just further evidence that "they"--they being, well, pretty much everyone within the federal government; I mean, Biden and Garland sure weren't doing shit, nor were their predecessors--couldn't care less about the victims here. To suggest otherwise would be a truly extraordinary claim, requiring some serious evidence to back such an absurdity.

Yah, but it's a general lack of interest over the decades with respect to horror items appearing in civil cases or court filings for litigation (not unique favoritism for Epstein and his circle of colleagues through multiple administrations). Though when it comes to direct reporting of crimes to police, many magnates and celebrities doubtless are privileged with respect to authorities ignoring various asserted incidents. An excuse for that might be that socialites regularly receive a high volume of complaints and accusations made by opportunistic individuals and disgruntled groupies. But still, in the mix there probably are valid accounts that should have been pursued. Leaving the neglected victims with only the civil route to take.

Not investigating because of the accused social standing is a total dereliction of duty.
 
These Are the Epstein Files, It's Not Fucking Funny

Because of course J.K. Rowling↱ is in the files.

And, look, sure, we all get that whatever happened it was somewhere down a ladder and away from the author herself. At least, we hope and thus presume, because who the hell invited Epstein in 2018?

Later, it will be recalled as the "Acosta effect". The idea that anybody saw fit to put that kind of prestige on inviting Epstein because it would be good for publicity, in April, 2018, ought to be insane.

 
I did a fact check (and anyone imputing that I did this to cushion Rowling or for any reason other than my -and my avatar's- fondness for verified facts please just go bugger yourself now) and found that Epstein's name appeared on an invitation list for the 2018 Broadway opening of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, but the evidence suggests this was a template invitation facilitated by a publicist rather than a direct, personal invitation from Rowling. I suggest that dogpiles on public figures whose views we find distasteful be done for those odious actions we can prove. In this matter, I find JKR's denial to be credible. I would also advise a good faith Google search, "fact check Rowling Holocaust denier" as well.

While I appreciate the nod to the original aphorism, is it really the case? Culture wars don't destroy the truth, just the audience for it. I mean, the truth is the truth, surely (unless it's a purely subjective matter). Culture wars can be selective with them, reframe them, but they don't really destroy them. What is destroyed first, I think, is the will of the audience to care about whether something is true or not. Such apathy doesn't make a casualty of truth, it, at best, makes it "missing in action". Probably something that Chuck Norris would repeatedly go looking for in a movie franchise of increasing ridiculousness. ;)

I am not a philosopher but might/does this distinction apply?


(I didn't know it was a "thing" until till now)

What is the truth if we are determined to hide it ?

If the truth is not captured in the moment is it too late to retrieve it?

(plenty of powerful people around cynically manipulating public opinion-to a willing audience on the face of it)
