Mainstream media scared to talk about this 'new' trump scandal? Trigger Warning.

Like other PPs I'll wait to see if mainstream media reports on it, having conducted their own verification and research. In the meantime, do you really believe he kicked a tent pole up Trump's hole-in-one? Does that not strike you as a bit silly?

Nothing I typed above was inflammatory or distressing. Nor will it get the post shut down.

By being all covert and mysterious about it you just make yourself look like a conspiracy theorist, and people less likely to engage in the discussion you wish to have. Not to mention not everyone wants to have go off and do their own research before joining in a chat on Mumsnet.

ANYWAY. Moving along.

Well we know which category you fall into!

Let me help save everyone a lot of time.

• If you hate Trump you’ll believe what this person is saying with no apparent evidence.
• If you love Trump you won’t believe a word of this despite watching the alleged events unfold with your own eyes.
• If you’re normal and sane you’ll wait to see if any substantiated evidence emerges.

Firstly, the names that he is mentioning don't correspond to names mentioned in Epstein files. Unlike Virginia Guifre, whose testimony matches up with people and locations mentioned in flight logs. Secondly, the story is completely salacious. He kicked a tent pole up Trump's what now? Is that even physically possible? Thirdly, its pizza gate level of crazy, and its overkill. No one needs to have died to make the Epstein thing worse, it was already as bad as it gets.

Some googling later I see that Sasha Riley has recently released a series of video recordings about alleged abuse by Epstein, during which he names a number of key figures including Trump. I guess the video you shared is one of those tapes.

I dont know why you couldn’t have just said that.

Off to see if I can find any podcasts/political YouTube channels discussing it. I guess newspapers won’t until they have had time to investigate whether it’s true or not.

I hate Trump and I don't doubt for a second that he is guilty of some heinous crimes. But the stuff in this link seems unbelievably far fetched and there is not a shred of evidence to support it. The language used by the 'journalist' who authored the Substack is very vague and at times seems almost delusional.

Conspiracies like this crop up occasionally (Carl Beech, Pizzagate, the Satanic Abuse Scandal in the US) and it always emerges that they have been dreamt up by fantasists and mentally unwell people. Let's not get distracted from Trump's real criminal behaviour by going down this bizarre and almost certainly false rabbit hole.

I listened to a few minutes (only) and just in that time that interview seemed completely unreliable.

It’s partly the drawn out way it’s conducted (very unprofessional), plus the interviewer suddenly announces that she thinks this might be a case for the International Criminal Court. That shows such a woeful misunderstanding of the ICC that it is enough in itself to make me conclude this source is utterly unreliable. It is no wonder this ‘story’ has not spread.

It's a refreshing change. The conspiracy loons are normally pro-Trump.

I’m really failing to find anything that supports this part of your OP:

“Secondly this account has been reported, investigated, and researched by many independent journalists, who strongly feel it is legitimate, but absolutely nothing on mainstream media.“

I couldn’t listen to the whole bloody video you linked, but googled and all I’ve seen was a bunch of Facebook posts, a Reddit thread and one of those ‘news’ outlets that make you scroll past 20 ‘I lost 20lb in one day using this simple hack’ scam adverts.

So - who was this investigated and researched by?

Trump said "you can grab them by the pussy" and was STILL elected - twice. Why on earth would you think this big expose would make any difference to anything - even if true.

Love the poster who was wrongly "convinced" by the BBC that Trump incited the insurrection on January 6th. Join the legions of people who were convinced by the american networks that man landed on the moon - mad stuff isn't it. It is really great that now we can all do our own research.

I'm asking anti-Trump as they come - I think he's a weak, petty, depraved, control freak with a completely deluded superiority complex. But even to me this seems like a largely fabricated conspiracy theory.

A bit agog at you suggesting the BBC is scared of reporting negatively on Trump. They’re currently being sued for lying about what he said. And that wasn’t the only time they did it. They give no shits.

You say it’s been investigate and researched by many journalists - can you link to one of their articles?

Parts of part one and part two. There is a reason this isn’t being covered in the media and it’s not because of a conspiracy. this is a hoax or a mentally ill person or an attention seeker or a mix of all three.

You provided a link to a video that’s an hour and a half long, on a channel I’ve never heard of that only has 7,000 subscribers. You want us to watch all of that without giving us a summary first?

Come on.

a decent chunk of it, it’s nonsense
