This scenario isn't really useful as a 'fall guy'. He's just one of many, his culpability does nothing to detract from anyone else's culpability. In fact, his admissions reinforce the substance of the Epstein files and strengthen any allegations that stem from them about others.

It stands to reason that every single bribe he got was to censor their name on the lists. They knew a year in advance the papers were going to be released, so had plenty of time.

It makes me suspicious of everyone, like the people of FIFA who gave him a nobel price. Was that also just some show to get their names censored?

9

Yes, but it's also worth considering that some people might have their own evidence that could implicate the president and his pals, and those people would have their own blackmail, which is kind of why the president hasn't criticized anyone on the epstein lists, he's expressed sympathy for them, even as it's his nemesis bill clinton, wearing a dress.

If he could get away with it, he would be trashing them, money or no, he's clearly afraid of what information others have, that if one of them gets nailed on these allegations they could start to release what information they have compiled creating a circular firing squad.

So if we could find and steal the information from one of these guys, then make it look like that person leaked it to hurt the others on the list, we could maybe start a chain reaction of them ratting on each other, to hopefully reach the king of the rats here.

Microsoft does not care about you, your computer or your licence. Microsoft cares about having a monopoly in business applications.

It's Capitalism. Microsoft is still #1 in home computer OS un the US. The faster Microsoft falls out of mainstream OS is when the upper echelon of tech can replace it with their own home spying system. It may/may not be personal, but it's all Capitalism and control. Imagine Meta releasing their own OS - absolute Black Mirror; but if that's what they're able to convince suppliers to ship, people will buy it regardless of politics or policy.

Microsoft has been struggling in the gaming sector (public opinion). Microsoft has been struggling in the OS sector (public opinion). They're still a giant in the tech industry, but they're certainly sliding and it's only a matter of time. Bill Gates being painted as a pedo is certainly one of those nails in the coffin of public opinion in Microsoft and Microsoft Tech (regardless who's actually running MS).

In one email, dated July 2013 and written by Epstein about Gates, the late pedophile alleges the billionaire sought to conceal from his wife Melinda French Gates a sexually transmitted disease he contracted after having sex with “Russian girls.”

The email claims Gates sought antibiotics to secretly give her. It is not clear whether the email was sent to Gates, but he denied the allegation as “completely false” via a spokesperson in late January.

In his call on Tuesday, however, Gates confirmed he had extramarital relationships during his 27-year marriage with two Russian women.

“I did have affairs, one with a Russian bridge player who met me at bridge events, and one with a Russian nuclear physicist who I met through business activities,” he said.

During the call, Gates acknowledged flying on a private plane with Epstein and spending time with him in the U.S. and abroad — but insisted that he had not witnessed or participated in illegal activity.

“I did nothing illicit. I saw nothing illicit,” Gates reportedly told staff. “To be clear, I never spent any time with the victims, the women around him.”

Gates said he first met Epstein in 2011, after the financier’s Florida conviction for procuring a child for prostitution, and continued to socialize with him despite concerns raised by his then-wife.

A physicist and a Bridge player...

And he at minimum thought Epstein was a good person to ask about illicit sex-related problems. So it wasn't just "Melinda thinks this guy has a bad vibe", it means he would absolutely have known about the conviction for pedophilia. And he was close enough to Epstein that he felt comfortable revealing a potentially damaging secret and reveal he intended to commit a crime against his wife.

Now, the real question, from my perspective: Did all the rich/elite 100% know he was trafficking? Were everyone in all those pictures complicit? I'm inclined to say yes. I don't think they 'close friends' just stayed till the end of the party for the "eyes wide shut" shit.

I don't think asking people to dump all of their money is the line that differentiates people from being good people and bad people.

feddit.org

Epstein was more than a child trafficker. He dealt in information, blackmail material and financial... "services", as I understand it. Having been had contact with him isn't immediate proof of any specific crime, because his portfolio is so wide, and also because I imagine a snake like him will have slithered into many places the high and wealthy congregate.

The question then is the extent and nature of the connections. On one hand, I'm all for being cautious about assuming guilt.

On the other, this is a billionaire we're talking about. I find myself less charitable with good will when it comes to parasites of that caliber.

5

Exactly. Blackmail.

I suggest you actually do some deeper reading into this whole mess. I got too bored and the image completely changed for me. It's way deeper and and Occam's razor is not going to work here. Eipstein really did a lot of blackmailing, it was already proven that some emails were straight up fabricated.

That aside - it is now known who the two women were, and Bill did not met them thru Eipstein, neither were they underage. The whole Eipstein mess actually came after these two women.

4

contact with him isn’t immediate proof of any specific crime

And this is why we have courts and rule of law and not mob rule. The mob clearly is ready to hang him. And if he is guilty, he should.

But at the moment, there is no clear proof that I'm aware of.

So it'd be fucking nice if people would take a damn step back and concentrate on supporting the rule of law and getting this evidence into courts so that we can have the best possible chance of convicting and punishing the guilty.

Because let's be clear: I support punishment for all who are guilty.

But mob rule is what the fascists want and thrive on. Trump says "X is guilty" and the fucking cult goes nuts and presses for their death.

Can our side NOT be like that? Please?

1

My only misgivings with the court of law are that they're slow (a necessary byproduct of diligence) and that the law they're adjudicating is biased (really more of an issue with the legislation). There is also the problem of corrupt or biased judges, but corruption is a universal concern.

They're still more reliable than a lynching based on suspicion and emotion.

Ofcourse they don't allow that! That thing is horrible unsave. Feels like they invented in during the French revolution and never gave any thought about operator safety. Who knows how many people died because of this thing?

I kinda disagree, they were probably underaged, I don’t know much about the epstien files, all I know is that most of the people there were preds, minors, etc.

Yes those nobel-prize-winning russian underage physicists. Suuuuure. Totally believable.

If what he says is true, why lie and try to hide it? Sure, having your affairs brought out into the open is uncomfortable, but with it being a part of the Trump- Epstein files, the best thing to do would be to be up front and honest about why his name is coming up. Trying to hide it at first and then coming out with this sounds like a PR move. There is probably something he is trying to hide by sharing a partial truth.

Cool. Give your billions to the bottom 90%, and we'll decide whether to believe that's all you did with Epstein.

(We'll definitely decide to not believe you)

I’m conflicted in these situations.

Obviously apologizing is better than nothing but at the same time, it’s an empty gesture at this point given how there is no consequence.

The only benefit is that it’s another domino that hopefully leads to actual justice.

during his 27-year marriage with two Russian women.

What?

"I am sorry (that I got caught) having relations with numerous russian women. Numerous delicious 11 year old russian 'women'.
I truly wish I had not been caught and I am sorry.
I want everyone to know that it will never happen again...mainly because I'm now far more cautious about the children I rape!"

I once blew $1000 over a weekend as a sp4 turned loose on Deutschland. most weekends were boring $50 in food/drink and vhs flicks. maybe see a movie. drunken debauchery can be expensive. can't happen in the states for reasons. easy to see how a bunch of repressed/warped by religion, suit-tie culture, American men can be sucked into compromising situations with mostly sex as the lure. whatever you want, a plane ride away with no accountability. oh the cameras? yeah they're everywhere. surprise! it's like someone watched candid camera and hatched a plan. 'affair', guess that's the suit-tie acceptable phrase
