The News wants people to care so bad. Reminder Epstein was declared deceased in 2019, think about that. It’s about to be 7 years and these people won’t stfu about it. We all know the government traffics humans, adults and underaged. This is no new knowledge to the American public. The government doesn’t get in trouble and that’s it. Americans instead fight somehow about even that while the government lies even more about the topic at large. Biden for 4 years did nothing about the files. Trump is now pretending they don’t exist. It’s a cartoon comedy show and you are the punchline.

Problem is the joke isn’t funny. You’ll NEVER get the list because thousands of your favorite politicians and celebs are on it. You people fall for the same tactics over and over. Wait till you learn America supports sweat shops, child labor fields, genocide, war crimes, organ harvesting, and colonization. Killing of every religious and innocent civilian they can under the sun ON PURPOSE. You all will be in for a shock. Like how serious is the American population? Are they really victims of a corrupted system or are they key components in the system that fuels it? We know the answer.

      To talk about the same thing in the news every day, yes indeed it is a long time.

      In fact, it will be considered incompetence, seeing how no one has gotten the files yet and the American people haven’t demanded the release through the Freedom of Information Act of the Files. It is an extremely long time.

        That’s your problem for being reliant on American news, I don’t have this issue. If your main problem with American news is that it’s actually talking about Epstein for once, then a bus should have plowed into you at 60 miles per hour instead of Virginia Giuffre

            Yeah, the world’s journalistic & academic publishing apparatus is centered around the US, it’s the center of the imperialist financial system and it’s where everyone looks to to find our where the next catastrophe will strike. You probably rely on US news organizations. It takes work to build an alternate steam of media that isn’t jusy “dissident journalists”. So far on this site, as far as I can tell, I am the only person interested in that rather than upgrading my political entertainment.

    My stance on it is, I want to see consequences. Given how unlikely it is that there will be any consequences, I struggle to care about the files. If they tell me the files will actually result in people being held accountable for their crimes, then I will be excited.

    This is why I do care.

    We don’t know how many children were raped on that island. Dozens? Hundreds? More?

    It’s not about “getting Trump” or political theatre, it’s about justice for the victims.

    If nobody investigates the Epstein files, every single one of those child rapists WILL continue to rape children. Epstein is dead, but another will fill the void and become the next Epstein (if they haven’t already).

    I don’t think raping children is a joke.

    I don’t think raping children is funny.

    Some crimes go neglected and unsolved, and there isn’t much most of us can do to correct that, but in this case we KNOW what the crimes are, we have evidence that could incriminate rapists, and if we don’t demand an investigation into this we are collectively telling those children “We know you were raped, and we don’t care.”

    Maybe I can convince you to care as well, maybe not, but either way, I refuse to be that person.

    Best case scenario, we lock up everyone who committed those atrocities, but even if the rich and powerful find a way to prevent that, we are at least sending a message that crimes like this will NOT be ignored and that next time they may not be as lucky.

      With this mindset, people are going to have to remember that the government works for the people and not the other way around. People don’t need to keep asking for, as much as they need to enforce the release of the files.
