What is going on? Epstein

85 replies

I keep seeing all over social media (yes I know), that Michael Jackson knew a lot about Epstein and what was going on and that he was set up, also that MJ was actually trying to protect children from the sex trafficking.

Also why the hell aren’t some of these powerful men being arrested? The only person in jail is a woman. It clearly wasn’t only Epstein and Maxwell involved in the abuse of young women and children.

Why the hell is King Charles still protecting his brother and has only made moves to strip him of his titles when it became clear that the scandal wasn’t going away. But Andrew is still living in Royal property and presumably Charles is finding his lifestyle.

Apologies if any of this is incorrect but right now I feel as though there is so much corruption it makes me feel that there are very few people that can be trusted and have no faith in the law.

VG was trafficked and was very clear it wasn’t her choice

the list is absurd because they seem to have included anyone mentioned who were long dead. More obfuscation

What would you do if your brother was involved? See him penniless on the streets?

I do think Andrew should tell what he knows, but the prospect of any of these men being brought to justice, even if he does, is vanishingly small.

It's shocking to realise how widespread this was (is, someone must have taken over the empire?), but I'm troubled by the way all the attention is on a Brit who never had any real power, rather than others.

I think the MJ thing is nonsense.

If my brother was involved with a paedophile then I most certainly would, yes.

So the full list of names has been released
Prince Phillip, Prince Harry, Pope John Paul and Elvis Presley are on the list.
Editing to say that is according to photos of the list which are on the daily Mail website.
Theresa May and Keir Starmer also there.

Michael Jackson was clearly a paedophile but don’t think he was in Epsteins circle.

I have a family member telling me Epstein and co were eating dead babies’ intestinal contents on his yacht. George Bush was raping men. All from Epstein library I’ve been told. I was told to read it all. No thanks.

Half of what’s out there is just speculation and untruths. The other half is true and people are being protected by some shady wealthy people. How come the Obamas, Clinton’s and Trump haven’t been castigated in public and had investigations into them, never mind the hundreds of others?
now there’s speculation Epstein was murdered we are never going to know the truth

As to Andrew, well at least he has been punished in some way , for someone like him it’s a really big fall. I want to see the other punished

What have the Obamas done?

The rumour that MJ was just trying to protect children is ridiculous.

He mainly set his sights on little boys, whereas, from what I gather, Epstein mainly focused on girls.

And how did MJ pick these kids in the first place? He didn't intercept them as they were on route to the island.

The men will never be arrested, too many people with too much influence are involved, and its like a house of cards, if one goes down they all will, that much influence all protecting each other means nobody will be arrested.

Maxwell has said that she will exonerate Trump if he issues her a pardon, so that's likely to happen as well.

As for Andrew, I imagine he knows a lot about the royal family so they are keeping each other sweet.

None of them will ever answer for their crimes, and I doubt that we will ever know the full extent of what went on either.
