Epstein files

Shhhhitsmagic · 06/02/2026 12:54

I've had too much time on my hands this week due to illness and I've gone down a rabbit hole with the epstein files.
Is anyone else struggling after reading this vile stuff?
I'm absolutely reeling and feel physically sick to my core. The world I thought we lived in doesn't exist (and probably never did in my lifetime).
It appears that not one single man involved will be held accountable. They are all being protected and the whole thing is being brushed under the carpet.
Why is this barely being reported on? Where are the protests? Are we being desensitised to this evil?
Can anyone help me make sense of this? 😢

You’re not able to dubunk some stuff no matter how hard you now it’s sicker than imaginable

Yeah, ok. Explain how it works.

@Dumbo12
Are you referring to abuse victims in general or Epstein’s victims in particular?

I was referencing perpetrators, not victims, which I believe was clear in my post.
I know there are some people who find it impossible to believe that women abuse, but sadly they are wrong

Which women? What ages were they at Epstein Island?

There are, sadly adult women who participate enthusiastically in sexual deviancy and the sexual abuse of children. I do not have direct evidence of this in relation to Epstein, I have however, over a long career, heard the evidence of many abuse survivors.

This is not true. You can look it up. It's been debunked.

Wow, I thought this thread about eastern would be unpleasant to read, but it's branched off into Q Anon, conspiracy theories about child murder, david icke, eek, I don't know where it's going next aliens and reptiles in buck house....

Q are awful types I agree, but doesn’t dismiss conspiracy theories about these sickos and what they are capable of

Yes. He's not chasing he's wombling around a massive kitchen island .

Why is the blacked out female panting so much? It’s hardly lots of running and not a huge island, it’s weird

Really? I've watched the video and seen a lot of the photos and what strikes me is the banality of the whole thing. Middle aged men in polo shirts and leisure wear in naff looking kitchens and on pvc bar stools isn't really what I expected

In all walks of life there is sexual abuse of children. In all group sexual abuse there are women involved, i know some people believe that they are always there through coercion, however from listening to the stories from survivors, they are often enthusiastic participants. They are considerably fewer in number than the men, but they certainly exist.

Does anyone know if women were guests at the wild parties ( ie invited guests as opposed to sex workers)?
If 9 year olds were involved, I cannot imagine that many women would condone that. It could be that the 9 mentioned above is a typo and means 19

If women and 9 year olds WERE at these parties, then I am sick to my stomach.

My interpretation of a wild party would be that there was free sex between consenting adults

Because you live in the normal world - billionaires, high power pedohiles and traffickers occupy another sinister, sleazy world by which even the darkest corners of our imaginations can’t even comprehend the evil that goes on.

But yes it’s highly likely that a sex trafficking ring serving billionaires and pedophiles “provided” pre-pubescent girls. Trafficked teenagers will be just the tip of the iceberg

Watching YouTube videos of JE, there is just something so odd, gives me the heebie jeebies
There was a video of E running around a kitchen island trying to catch a female (blacked out, no idea what age etc) this woman was breathing really heavily, slightly panicked in an odd way. Whoever was filming (female) was laughing. He was trying to climb over the kitchen island to get to the blacked out female
I cannot explain it, but watching it just made me feel a certain way, there is something v v odd

Annabelle Neilson, London socialite, close friends with Kate Moss, Alexander McQueen and Naomi Campbell procured girls for Epstein. She died in 2018.

Yes, that’s another odd one…dying so young at 48 I think?

… and it’s not “partisan politics” to talk about Elon Musk because Elon Musk is not a fucking politician. And if you don’t know the extent to which grok has been used to create sexual images of underaged girls you’ve been living under a rock.

Yes, exactly this. People need to get a grip and actually read the files. Not get their news on TikTok, Insta, Facebook and X.

It's important to differentiate between the very real abuse and exploitation and the increasingly wealthy and powerful men who desire to exploit and control the political systems for their own ends and conspiracy theories about people drinking children's blood in basements.

Elon Musk, who could disable the ability to use Grok to create sexualised images but chooses not to, owns one of the largest means of information distribution in the world. It's a fact that he wrote an email asking to know what night the wildest party on the island would be. He does not get a pass because he gives people a platform to shit on trans people.

Look at what's real, not ridiculous conspiracy theories about Wayfair cabinets. They are designed to divide distract from holding the real people to account.

It will never fully come out there will only be patsies covering up the main ones. I mean why would they out these people and lose their power to blackmail them.
