Epstein files suggest acts that may amount to crimes against humanity, say UN experts
Independent experts appointed by human rights council speak of ‘grave’ nature regarding scale of atrocities against women and girls
Millions of files related to the convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a “global criminal enterprise” that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, a panel of independent experts appointed by the United Nations human rights council has said.
The experts said crimes outlined in documents released by the US justice department were committed against a backdrop of supremacist beliefs, racism, corruption and extreme misogyny. The crimes, they said, showed a commodification and dehumanisation of women and girls.
“So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity,” they said in a statement.

Uhhhhhhh......yeah. We know. There was an island, and a bunch of crimes against humanity. It was like this whole big thing.
It means these people can be arrested at an international level. To speak loosely, it no longer matters that the crimes took place on US soil becuase it expands the prosecutorial jurisdiction to the world.
Which is critical because the corruption of the US government means that no prosecution will ever happen here
I don't know if ever is the right term. I'm hopeful that once this administration is gone, the next administration might start doing their job and investigate some of these individuals, leading to prosecutions.
But I think you are certainly right that the current administration is corrupt and no prosecutions will happen under them.
Got any precedent for that theory what so ever?
Are you saying there is precedence for what we currently have? Trump seems to think that he'll get impeached if republican's don't win. Then if he's out, Vance and him seem to have differing opinions on the Epstein files. Vance has also had some things to say before getting all budy-budy with Trump.
France is currently investigating allegations. In fact 10 countries have opened investigations.
So I suspect Trump is in the files, hence the coverup but once he's gone I think there might be enough public pressure to cause the next administration to do something.
I mean, Biden pardoned his family because he thought the new administration would go after them.
Of course, I can't see the future and maybe it all gets swept under the rug, but I'm hopeful.
Historically, the US Empire has swept this type of shit back under the rug over and over again. I would honestly be surprised if anything happens locally. As I'm sure many of you ae aware and probably tired of hearing, The US was the inspiration for the nazis. From Jim Crow to the Trail of Tears and bounties put on "undesirables."
These people may be charged abroad, but as we've also seen over and over, that doesnt mean much for their class. We can only hope that the empire falls. That is the only way for them to be held accountable
Suspect?
I'm curious as to whether the use of that word was purposely deliberate or not.
I'm also curious as to how closely you've been following the subject and from where.
For reference, he's been confirmed by multiple presumably trustworthy sources who, until reading the unredacted files, had no overtly stated agenda on the subject, to be in them VERY frequently.
The adamance with which these people have mentioned the frequency of his appearance in the files makes me suspect he's in there on an order of magnitude more than anyone other than Epstein himself.
What happened to all the pizzagate people? Where are you? I have fresh pepperoni.
Presumably chillin with the "The gubbmint's buildin FEMA death camps!" people...now that the government is building death camps.
It's really irritating. It's some incredible psy-ops to make the conspiracy theorist crowd not constantly be screaming "I told you so" from the rooftops when they were even partially correct.
Pizza-gaters never actually cared about children. Pizza-gate was never more than a fictionel club to swing at democrats. Now that their own team is being credibly accused of child rape they assume it is a lie as well.
That's the genius of the GOP. They craft all these lies accusing the Democrats of crimes that Republicans are actively committing. Then when their own crimes come to light, the GOP base assumes that the accusations against the Republicans are also lies and dismiss them without thought.
Every accusation is a confession is literally the GOP modus operandi.
Well it was a Democrat who's files were leaked. But they were good friends with pedophile Dennis Hastert (R).
Democrat power player David Brock's ex boyfriend's Instagram account posts were far from fictional.
I should add that apart from the nature of the (alleged) crimes, there doesn't seem to be a link between Epstein and Pizzagate.
Gaslight obstruct project.
If you project it on your ‘enemies’ the people get desensitized to a concept over time and eventually ‘both sides’ it so they can palate (sp?) excusing it in their ‘own’
Palate is correct.
Thanks, hero.
Moot(4chan owner) met Epstein and created the /pol/ board the same day. Q anon was created on 4chan.com/pol/ a couple years later.
Epstein seems to be using "pizza and grape soda", "muffins", "muffin batter", "baking spray", "jerky" and possibly other words as code words, they're used in very strange ways some of which only make sense refering to something else.
So this is probably a calculated strategy of creating Q to paint any leaks or future accusations as ridiculous like that stupid Q from 4chan. Mix some truth with ridiculous lies and send anyone interested down an embarrassing dead end. The UFO strategy.
TBH, probably pissed, but the media and botfarms that were amping their nonsense before don't want to now. So we're not hearing them. That's why Trump is so desperate to meddle with midterms, he knows that in a fair election he's fucked. He is absurdly unpopular.
But never forget Trump's buddy Thiel's thoughts about that. They fully plan on making peaceful revolution impossible...
Theyre too busy eating crow to speak up
So that's why Trump went so hard against the ICC.
The fun part is, it does matter. If the people named enter a country that respects the ICC, they'll be arrested.
Those New Zealand bunkers are about to became inaccessible.
Yeah just like they arrested Netanyahu!
...oh wait.
After everything these pieces of shit have done everywhere should be inaccessible to them!
So thats when we concrete over them.
By 2030 the U.N will finally send their letter of disapproval to the Epstein foundation.
The fact that we need to reiterate that rape is a crime against humanity is simultaneously mind boggling and expected. Doubly so on both counts in regard to female children.
They raped and tortured little girls? I thought the media wanted us to use the term underaged women? /s [just in case]
Wasn't just female and there's 0 reason to split hairs anyways. The fuck.
I agree, but I'm also afraid they're not really talking about rape.
"U9 red pizza party"
He was involved in Iran Contra for Christ sake. The idea that this guy was not involved in global geopolitics at the highest level is ridiculous.
I'm pretty well-versed in the Iran Contra Scandal, but I don't recall ever hearing Trump associated with it. What have you heard?
Epstein was basically made head of the second plane company involved in Iran-Contra at the exact time this company became involved, so journalists looked into it and now there's a pretty big pile of evidence of his involvement
I thought that they meant Trump was involved, but Epstein being involved IS a big revelation.

Soooo we have hope of some sort of international court stepping in and being the adult in the room?
Sure, but the us (and Israel) don't recognise the international court of justice, despite helping found it, so what are the chances of something coming out of that?
The actual scope of this guys crimes is absolutely mind blowing.
The UN says Raping Children on an Island while Destabilizing Governments Worldwide ALLAH EXACTLY what QAnon said are Crimes Against Humanity? Why does the UN HATE TRUMP!
-QAnon!
Would be very funny to give trump to the EU and have him go to the hague only for the pedo stuff.
No no guys, the FBI and the Attorney General have said there's no evidence of anyone doing anything wrong, and there's definitely no case to prosecute. There's nothing to see here, move along.
