Epstein files

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? 😢

Well I've been watching the news and listening to the radio all day, and it's been top billing, through the Mandelson story and other aspects.
You'd have to be blind, deaf or comatose to think it isn't being reported on 😂😂

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".

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

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.

Yes. The media blackout on this is incredibly disturbing. It really points to the issue that underlies all this.

It was also alleged several times each hour all day yesterday that Epstein was also believed to be recruited by Russian Intelligence on the very mainstream LBC News yesterday.

Also have a look at what CNN and the other mainstream non-right wing USA news sites are reporting.

@Appalonia
Do you love Elon Musk?
Why are you trying to pretend he is not deeply involved in Epsteins world of abuse of girls and women?

TulipLavender · 06/02/2026 22:45

Appalonia · 06/02/2026 22:29

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.

Elon Musk wanted to get on the island for some wild parties. Why is that derailing this thread to highlight that he wanted closer ties with Epstein and to party with him and basically lied about it? Years after Epstein's 2008 public prosecution for solicitation of sex with minors, one of the richest men in the world wanted to party with a known child rapist and you think it's derailing the thread to mention it?0

It's brilliant to see the thread descend into disagreeing about what should be discussed. It's almost as if it's a really clever tactic to derail the conversation and point in any other direction than the true horror of what is actually going on.

True.

Id like to see conversation about what we can do to divest in systems that support these people and power structures, but in a way that doesn’t hurt ordinary people.

Also conversation about taking celebrities and rich people off of the pedestals we put them on. It’s our attention, money and energy that puts and keeps them in these positions of power.

I think there is a deeper psychological issue of people generally not feeling enough (perhaps because of the original sin concept weaved into our society by the Abrahamic religions) and projecting qualities we aspire to onto people at the top of society. Our lives are all about trying to be better - richer, more attractive, more successful, famous. Until now this elite class have been held up as the aspiration.

I think we are experiencing a collective social awakening now that the ‘best’ or ‘top’ people in society have been revealed to actually be the very worst.

Amazing that the people on here who get their 'news' from TikTok and Twitter are complaining that "it isn't being reported on".

I mean, there is thick and there is absolutely fucking thick and then there are these posters.

peanutbuttertoasty · 06/02/2026 22:28

I’d be staggered if this doesn’t go much deeper into Westminster. Total corruption as you say

TulipLavender · 06/02/2026 22:21

There will be no justice or any prosecutions or even investigations into this. There was at least 10 other co-conspirators involved. The head of the FBI Kash Patel said that there is no credible evidence of anyone being sex trafficked to someone else. There is a mass systemic failure in FBI and US institutional systems and the UK is basically just a Vassal state of the US.
The UK economy is owned and controlled by US corporations, the UK have no ability to have independent foreign policy from the US or independent state intelligence so the institutional failure of FBI and US justice system matters.
These evils peados have already destroyed the systems we rely on for justice.
Epstein was a CIA , Mossad and KGB operative at different times. Epstein says in the emails in the files that Bill Barr was CIA. Bill Barr was the US attorney general at the time of Epstein's murder/escape. The rot is DEEP and probably irreversable. They probably feel comfortable releasing the Epstein files now because they know that democracy is basically dead and there is nothing us plebs can do about it.

Piknik · 06/02/2026 22:13

I actually think it's a nice irony that the freedom of speech advocated by Elon Musk on X, may make it the very platform that brings about the undoing of him and his cronies. And even if they are too rich and protected to fall - there is still something Black Mirror about the fact that he has to watch his own platform update second by second with yet more evidence against him.

Is that the same Tiktok that is censoring any anti trump/epstein talk ? 🤔

@Isthateveryonethen I can't begin to comprehend the level of evil and how many people are part of. It feels like we're being primed to be accepting of this.
I feel so guilty for having children and bringing them into this world.

I felt exactly the same. I thought it’s just me…

Tinytimmy123 · 06/02/2026 22:11

...and if there is any truth to the Sascha Riley account.🤢 It may be far fetched in areas , but alot of facts match up ...and after all he was a child.

peanutbuttertoasty · 06/02/2026 21:45

And boys! Why is everybody ignoring the boys?

People are focusing on girls because the victims were predominantly girls -estimated 90%.

If 90% of the victims were boys we’d be saying boys.

The important thing here is that children were systematically abused, who did it and who benefited from the system.

Another thing is, it was reported recently in the news that 20+ men connecyed to epstein case did plea deals - is thsi why so many perps email IDs have been redacted?
Some names are left untouched but alot are removed - and clearly many of them are abusers - why hide them???

As wishful thinking I would hope it’s because there are prosecutions pending, but I won’t hold my breath…

yes, and who serves this? Someone cannot bring themselves to read but probably would watch horror movies. Other advises not to pray nor comment on some names. Sensoring galore

He’s in the files, but no evidence to show he’s a client. Which you’d know if you went on X 😂

Yes agree with you. Whilst mandelson and Andrew deserve what they got (one was mates with a paedophile for financial gain, other is dirty old sod), there are loads of other high profile individuals that seem to be unmentionable. Most prominent that I am aware of is an ex israeli prime minister. Does he threaten major news outlets with lawsuits? What he did is absolutely abhorrent. Google israeli pm barak and epstein link, or barak virginia giuffre...
I also find it heart breaking that so many women seem to have supported epstein, and continued contact after his conviction. "Model agencies" trafficking girls for him. Young women asking epstein for money in exchange for "favours" or for introducing other younger women...
Eva Dubin suggests epstein visits her because her 15 yo daughter is having friends over for a sleep over... Virginia G book alleges abuse from Eva's husband...
I haven't read that much of what is out there but already have been deeply disturbed by what I have seen. High level international paedophile ring is not tin foil fantasise stuff anymore unfortunately

@peanutbuttertoasty
X is not for me. Musk was an Epstein client too.
