Epstein files

357 replies

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? 😢

Where can you read them?

I don't know where you can directly read them if that's what you mean, I haven't tried it. But you are not going to get the true picture if you stick to the mainstream media. Get on social media like X or Instagram.

Instagram has opened my eyes. Once you start seeing those emails, interview transcripts, photos and videos you will realise how the likes of BBC, Sky, Times and Telegraph etc. are sharing only the half truths and skewing the narrative to protect their paymasters. They are bypassing the main actors by focusing on Andrew and Mandelson. Even then they are not reporting everything that's available about these two.

Interesting that UK media is comfortable talking about links to Russia but not to Israel which are far greater evidenced.

Perhaps research for yourself Epstein links to CIA, Iran Contra and Israeli intelligence and Ehud Barak and then assess whether it is adequately reported on within UK and US media

https://www.dropsitenews.com/s/epstein-and-israel/archive?sort=top

It is merely your interest and and only one bias amongst many that the links to Israel are somehow more important than links to Russian intelligence services and are somehow therefore being ignored by UK press for reasons of 'comfort'. In fact they are not being ignored at all.

British media will of course report on links that are of more interest to UK security and obviously albeit sadly most of all on any salacious details involving UK public figures.

In fact there are thousands and thousands of documents. The European press will highlight items of interest to their own countries, and the US will highlight links to whichever side of their political system a given publications represents. But most of the material has not even been evaluated yet.

Meanwhile tiktok and twitter and facebook will trumpet whatever info is of interest to the utter melts and airheads who flock there for their 'information' INCLUDING the absolute bollocks about how mainstream media is ignoring the truth. And indeed suppressing it - which also seems to be your implication.

Can someone advise how to find out what is in these files from a reputable source? Anyone can post on X and produce an AI image of an email and attribute it to the files.

I have been surprised at the BBC reporting, which seems tepid, and then reading this thread which alludes to much more going on within the files.

I believe everyone saying there’s a lot more to it, but would like to be signposted to a source. Or does that not exist? Are they all corrupt??

FFS we're talking about rape, torture and potential murder of young women and girls on a mass scale and pp are so blinkered by their hatred of Elon Musk that they're trying to derail this thread? Wow. Really weird prioritiies.

Trump is mentioned thousands of times in the files, trump has been enthusiastically supported by musk , elon and epstein exchanged emails about parties, Elon has been pictured with epstein, Elon isnt exactly renowned for his conservative views on impregnanting women. He is also a renowned drug user.
Any detective worth their salt would be a fool to not investigate Mr musk....aside from the fact that many many many emails have been redacted or not releaaed ....wouldnt it be in our interests to know if some of them were sent or received by musk, ( given their debauched nature) particularly since he is heavily invested in so many global systems that with the potential to be invested in even more with access to our information. Its been suggested he is rascist, right leaning and given his tendency to throw the odd zeig heil around likely a fascist.

So sorry if it offends anyone but I'd like to know just what kind of a loon has got access to my personal information.

In total agreement with your succinct post @Wheresrebeccabunch

Just 8 pages in - where innocent women who are equally outraged - has us turning on each other for who is the most correct?!

Everyone, the whole world - HAS to stop now and band together. Put down your political, religious and long held beliefs, put down your ego and pick up a f*cking pitch fork.

It is clear from just what we know this runs so deep, the world is ran by power & control - so we can only do what is within our own circle of control, there are billions of us and yet that small percentage who hold the power are not scared as we’re all too dumb to unite.

SaturdayNext · 07/02/2026 08:26

I really want the media to focus hard on every mention of Trump in these files. He is clearly doing his utmost to divert attention from them, so clearly he has a lot that he's desperate to hide.

Posters are responding to your statement that Musk was not implicated. You are as bad as anyone being partisan if you are pretending that the emails between Epstein and Musk don't raise questions.

Musk lied about his association with Epstein, he said the JE had tried to entice him to the island but he refused. In reality he was begging for a party invitation from a convicted paedophile. Even if we give Musk all the benefit of doubt in the world and assume he thought the parties were drug fuelled orgies which only involved consenting adults he was still willing to party with a convicted paedophile.

I think we should not shy away from asking questions. We do not know (yet) if Musk ever actually went to the island but we do know that Epstein instructed GM to deal with another email from Musk requesting an invitation and she told him they were closing the island operation down. Why was Epstein rejecting friendly overtures from someone as wealthy as Musk?

I agree with your point about people focussing on people they don't like, it feels like people would be jubilant if Trump was brought down by this but if we only concentrate on the high profile people then nothing will change. Trump is one man, albeit very powerful, but removing him from office won't stop this type of abuse happening.

One of the worst things I've read is that he isn't dead. This is an account from a prison guard...

Wait what?

THisbackwithavengeance · 07/02/2026 06:53

I’m seeing headlines about AMW and PM. I’m not seeing anything about how the world’s elite men are satanists who rape and eat children and control world events for their own gratification.

AMW and PM were bit players.

If you think the Bible is ok with this type of thing, you haven't read it. The Bible repeatedly warns about this cult of people and their abuse of children. They worship a different "God"

Find me a mainstream UK media report highlighting the role of Ehud Barak and Epstein or Epstein's role in Israeli Intelligence operations (which is now undeniable) - where is that reported?

Yeah we get hundreds of Prince Andrew reports and nothing about on whose behalf Epstein was working.

Talk about being thick!

Tik tok and twitter aren't credible news sources but neither are UK legacy media.

BBC: Ehud Barak named right at the top of this article.
You and I are probably in broad agreement with regard to the files, from what I can gather from your posts in this thread, but to claim that mainstream media is only mentioning Andrew ex Royal, and not mentioning other culprits is just nonsense.

BBC Report with Ehud Barak mentioned right at the top

Well she’s serving a sentence for her own crimes. Let’s not imply she has any degree of innocence. But yes..where are the men in prison?

It's like - she was trafficking girls but not to anyone.

Space Relations Donald Barr
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Relations
The plot is an oligarchy involved in child sex trafficking.

Donald Barr gave Epstein his first job in a Private college, Dalton School. Despite Epstein not having the right qualifications.

Donald Barr's son is Bill Barr - US attorney general during the time Epstein 'committed suicide'

The truth is stranger than fiction.

Epstein Barr like the invasive virus? Couldn’t make that up!

I'm with you OP, haven't had time to RTFT but am desperate to March or protest, SOMETHING. Please can anyone let me know of anything happening like this in the UK? People need to be held accountable. I feel like today has changed me, the things I've read.

There is a book series ( fiction) by the writer Simon Kernick.

The business of Dying
a good day to die
pay back

it has 3 books that follow a london detective Dennis Milne

it’s about a paedophile ring operating in the highest parts of establishment and a group of them who are lords Politicians Judges police officers well known celebrities Royaltyfamous business meh all the usual suspects are getting children from various children homes and raping them and often killing then or passing them around to other groups

they have a fixer ( a Mr Big ) who deals with any problems that they have like getting rid of bodies, framing people for murder, and in return he’s allowed to run his drugs empire

The books were written early 2000 so way before all this came out about Epstein and AMW

if you like criminal thriller type of fictions books. Then they are definitely worth a read especially in light of what’s we know now as it’s spooky how similar parts of the book is with regard to what we know now

It is being reported on, but redacted to such an extent that the main perps aren't mentioned, but mainly the victims. Trump has had apparently 1000 mentions so far, was a documented pal of Epstein, was elected after saying women should be grabbed by the pussy, but will emerge whiter than snow. And there are millions of documents which will never be released for "security reasons".

Edited

Yes, I know 👍

ChrisMartinsKisskam · 06/02/2026 23:34

I’ve always thought that JE was either a spy for Israel , Russia or both
backed by these countries to have a long term spy who can appeal to the rich powerful and famous people and then compromise them with videos / photos and blackmail them

Think about it, there can't just be one man like "Epstein" in the world...he just happened to get caught 😐
