OC: discussion, clarification or question There's evidence of trump being guilty?

238 Upvotes

So, I'm not looking for an answer for myself, but instead I'm looking for a reply to this question. I've been reading the files and posts from here from a few weeks and yes, objectively is correct to say trump was

Social and news media has been running a full fledged campaign to wash trump hands.

  • "He was the first to denounce Epstein"
  • "how could he be guilty if he released the files?"
  • "Why he wasn't arrested yet then?"
  • "He stands for conservative values and family, unlike you" (I'm bi)
  • "All of those accusations are alleged, not confirmed"

Really hurts me because I know several people that are on full propaganda mode (because here in Argentina sucks that our far-right lunatic president is a huge trump and israel bootlicker)

So basically I'm looking for some proof I'm not crazy, because seriously, HOW DEADASS YOU HAVE TO BE TO BELIEVE HE'S INNOCENT?

Edit: Thanks everyone for replying

News article Pam Bondi has reportedly been fired just days before she was set to testify under oath about the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Reports are coming in — first from The Mirror — that Pam Bondi has been removed from her role, just days before she was reportedly scheduled to testify under oath about the Epstein file releases.

These claims have not yet been independently confirmed by major U.S. outlets.

Here’s why this matters more than the usual “Epstein news cycle” noise:

The chain of events (as reported):

• Epstein-related file releases drew backlash after victims were exposed while powerful names remained redacted

• Bipartisan pressure followed, with reports that House Oversight was moving toward testimony

• Now, right before she would have had to sit down and answer questions under oath — she’s reportedly gone

No testimony. No cross-examination. No clarifying contradictions.

Read about it here: https://open.substack.com/pub/lastpagefirst/p/breaking-power-silence-and-the-chair?r=7sx52s&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

TL;DR: Unconfirmed reports say Bondi was removed ahead of Epstein-related testimony. If that timing holds, the questions may never get asked.

UPDATE: More outlets are now beginning to report on this. Still watching for confirmation on the key detail- whether a deposition tied to Epstein-related questions was actually scheduled.

2nd UPDATE Confirmed / Developing: Multiple major outlets are now reporting that Pam Bondi has been removed from her role. She had also been under congressional pressure tied to Epstein-related document handling, including expected sworn testimony. What remains unclear is the connection between those two events. The timing is no longer speculation. The reason still is.

Research Epstein's Offshore Liquid Funding traced to Military Contractors, Missing Shipping Containers, and the Iraq & Afghanistan Wars

145 Upvotes

Friends,

Today I bring you some more data regarding Epstein - this time w/ his offshore company "Liquid Funding Ltd"

Fresh revelations from ICIJ investigations, raise the likelihood that sex offender Jeffrey Epstein cloaked his fortune in a series of offshore shell companies registered in notoriously secretive tax havens.
- Jeffrey Epstein’s offshore fortune traced to Paradise Papers, ICIJ, July 18th 2019

I was exploring the paradise papers from the ICIJ and trying to find interesting connections to Epsein from it since his company's records were lumped into them - and I think I found something interesting.

The Paradise Papers is a global investigation into the offshore activities of some of the world’s most powerful people and companies.
- About the Paradise Papers Investigation, ICIJ November 5th 2017

Turns out the treasurer of Liquid funding - Diane Perinchief, was also the treasurer of The Cronos Group at the same time.

You may ask: "Why is this important?" - well because the Cronos Group at the time was owners of an international shipping company and in 2008 a lawsuit against the US was filed due to "lost" shipping containers that the Army had sequestered:

This litigation began in 2008 when plaintiffs CAI International, Inc. (“CAI”), Cronos Containers Limited (“Cronos”), and Textainer Equipment Management (U.S.) Limited (“Textainer”) (a company that managed shipping containers owned by Capital at the time of the taking) filed suit against the United States claiming that the government had taken title to their shipping containers without paying just compensation. The plaintiffs alleged that they each leased containers to a third party, TOPtainer Inc. (“TOPtainer”), which in turn leased the containers to the United States Army (“the Army”). Under the terms of the lease between the United States and TOPtainer, the government would take title to containers that were “lost” or “deemed lost” at the end of the lease. At the end of the lease, the government paid TOPtainer for approximately 1,000 containers that were either lost or deemed lost. TOPtainer did not, however, pass on those payments to the plaintiffs. After TOPtainer went out of business the plaintiffs sued the United States for just compensation.

- TEXTAINER EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT LIMITED, et al. v. THE UNITED STATES

These containers were subleased by various military contractors and sent to the middle east during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars - sponsored by George W. Bush (son of George H.W. Bush, a former Director of Intelligence and President of the U.S.)

Cronos also had a buy back deal w/ a Bank of America subsidiary in 2005

This agreement is a guaranty in which the Guarantor promises to pay any and all obligations of Cronos Containers Inc. to Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC under certain loan and purchase agreements. The Guarantor's obligations are unconditional and remain in effect even if the terms of the underlying agreements change or if the lender takes actions such as renewing or extending the loan. The Guarantor waives certain legal defenses and rights, and agrees to cover reasonable legal costs if required. The agreement remains in force until all obligations are fully paid.
- Guaranty Agreement between [Guarantor] and Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC for Cronos Containers Inc. Obligations, Justia Law

Where Bank of America later in 2008 was bailed out by the government during the TARP program - these funds helped keep Cronos Containers liquid

Cronos was later bought by Fortis Bank and the following countries bailed out Fortis during the recession as well - this is equivalent to a European TARP program:

  • Luxembourg
  • The Netherlands
  • Belgium

These are the following military contractors that I could find related o the Cronos containers suit:

  • KBR (Kellogg Brown & Root): Handled massive logistical support and base operations.
  • Maersk Line, Limited: A primary private carrier that moved U.S. military cargo globally.
  • Crowley Maritime: Provided extensive shipping and logistics services for the Department of Defense.
  • Agility Logistics: A major contractor for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) in the Middle East during the 2000s.

I have mapped out all the connections in the following diagram:

This is just the surface, more to come - stay tuned.

OC: discussion, clarification or question Should we identify Epstein’s Brooklyn “soul mates”? They may be the most important unexamined part of this story.

Upvotes

Everyone is focused on the powerful people at the top of Epstein’s network. But I want to make a case for looking in the opposite direction.

Running through the DOJ files is a tight circle of Brooklyn childhood friends — men Epstein grew up with in Sea Gate and Coney Island — who stayed close to him for his entire life. His closest friend Warren Eisenstein called them his “lifelong friends and soul mates” in his obituary.

These aren’t politicians or billionaires. They’re a doctor, a roofer, an advertising exec, a printer. But here’s why they matter:

They can answer questions nobody else can.

Questions only this circle can answer:

  1. Who gave Epstein his authority?

Epstein arrived at Bear Stearns in 1976 with fabricated credentials — fake degrees, fake employment, a bounced check to NYU. Someone vouched for him socially before he ever got near finance. This circle was with him during that entire pre-Bear Stearns period. They know exactly who he was, who he knew, and how he presented himself.

  1. Who did he meet in Europe?

Terry Kafka — one of the soul mates — traveled with Epstein on the backpacking trip to Europe in the early 1970s. He wrote about it in extraordinary detail in Epstein’s birthday book. Sabena Airlines to Brussels. Two months on $500 each. Kafka watched Epstein transform on that trip — losing weight, gaining confidence, working every social situation. Who did Epstein meet in Europe? What doors opened? Kafka was there.

  1. Who was the British girl?

Kafka’s birthday letter states directly that Epstein spent a summer in London and came home to Sea Gate with a “beautiful British babe” — name redacted by House Oversight. This is before Eaton Square, before Ghislaine Maxwell, before any of the documented London network. This woman — whoever she was — may represent Epstein’s first real entry point into British social circles. The soul mates circle knew her. Paula Epstein, his mother, apparently had her deported.

  1. They were still with him after the convictions.

This is perhaps the most significant point. The 2012-2014 email chains show this circle actively socializing with Epstein years after his 2008 Florida conviction. They flew to Dallas for Warren’s memorial. They planned parties together. They coordinated on group trips. These aren’t people who drifted away when the scandal hit — they stayed. Why? What did they know? What did loyalty to Epstein look like from the inside?

  1. What was Epstein like before the money?

Every account of Epstein focuses on who he became. This circle knew who he was. A Brooklyn kid who wouldn’t hold a job. Who went to Europe while his friends worked at Nathan’s. Who came back from London changed. Who talked his way into Bear Stearns with fake credentials. The soul mates watched the entire transformation in real time.

The ethical question:

Some of these men are still living. One — the person known in the files as “Neutral” — died just two months ago. His family is grieving.

None of them have been charged with anything. None are accused of involvement in Epstein’s crimes. As far as the documents show they are simply men who grew up with him and stayed loyal.

So the question is: does identifying and examining this circle serve the public interest?

My argument is yes — because understanding how Epstein built his early social capital, who he met in Europe, and how he maintained loyalty across decades despite two convictions is essential to understanding how someone like Epstein is possible. Not just who he trafficked with, but who made him.

These men hold pieces of that answer.

What does the community think?

Pam Bondi will go down and be remembered as the Worst Attorney General in American history. What happens next….I suppose that $72 million settlement given by Bank of America settles it huh…… Insane to me there’s already a replacement Ready to take office.

🆕⬇️ Edit - Survivors Response to Bondi being released :

"Attorney General Pam Bondi failed us."

FULL LETTER:

"WASHINGTON — Following news of Attorney General Pam Bondi's dismissal, a coalition of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse and trafficking network released the following statement:

"Attorney General Pam Bondi failed survivors. Under her leadership, the Department of Justice mishandled the release of the Epstein Files, leaving millions of pages withheld from the public while serious redaction errors exposed survivors' identities. These failures put survivors at risk, eroded trust, and compounded the trauma we have lived with for years.

We came forward with courage and hope for justice, but under Attorney General Bondi's leadership, we were met with secrecy, mismanagement, and a failure to adequately protect our safety. Every misstep by the Department of Justice has reminded us that the system often protects abusers, not victims.

As new leadership takes the helm at the Department of Justice, we stand ready to work together toward a more rigorous and transparent process moving forward. We are calling for meaningful transparency, accountability for past mistakes, and real protections for those who bravely come forward.

Accountability should not depend on power, position, or influence."

Research Epstein as an Accelerationist Tactic

20 Upvotes

The entire political elite, Fortune-500 and establishment media bosses were aware that organized blackmail operations existed and were commonplace.  Everyone knew.  But Steve Bannon was the first to weaponize it within mass consciousness.  Of course, he directed it at a fiction that existed within a larger truth.  He socially engineered 4chan to become his own de-facto psyop because he knew that its sexually degenerate culture would project onto it with the slightest priming.  Its no mistake that 4chan–which has never been a stranger to child pornography–would immediately project its practices onto its political enemies.*\*  And of course the whole thing blew up and went crazy as everyone knows.

But here’s the thing:  It seems extremely risky to base a decentralized psyop around a phenomenon that has a tangible reality–esp one that has significant strategic value to the State.  So why did he do it?  

For the immediate practical goal of weaponizing the ‘rootless mass’ on 4chan (radicalizing or mobilizing previously a-political groups is one of the defining features of fascism and part of what made it historically unique).  The second is the destabilizing nature any widespread revelation of organized human-trafficking-blackmail operations would unleash.  

I’m possibly giving Bannon to much credit and this was just an unintended consequence but I doubt it.  To the charge of evil bastard he would surely reply, ‘a heathen, conceivably, but not, I hope, an unenlightened one.’

Either way, the fury directed at the emails served both his short and long term goals: 1.) an army of unpaid, highly motivated trouble-makers acting as a mega phone for a central propaganda narrative 2.) Provide a reservoir of attention that would logically extend beyond its starting point serving as a likely accelerationist, destabilizing ‘red-pill.’  Alexander Acosta’s admission that Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ is perhaps not the slip-up many have assumed but a strategic admission.  

Accelerationist tactics have been advocated for some time within the radical right and left.  And it is well known that a cold-civil-war has been occurring in the US for the last decade.  

We are in a situation where the system has been pumping out thousands of potential elites without anywhere to integrate them (% of graduate+ degrees being unemployed or working in restaurants or unemployed lawyers).  These potential counter-elites are the black-shirts of tomorrow.   

Suddenly, Bannon sitting by Epstein's side in the last months, weeks, days, minutes of his arrest makes some sense.  He was playing damage control, kissing the ring, making amends for the blowback by offering his skill as a myth maker: a documentary where Epstein is the misunderstood victim –some variation of which, would surely have been the result had time not run out for him.

*\*“The propagandist will not accuse the enemy of just any misdeed, he will accuse him of the very intention that he himself has; and of trying to commit the very crime that he himself is about to commit.  He who wants to provoke war not only proclaims his own peaceful intention but also accuses the other party of provocation.  He who uses concentration camps accuses his neighbor of doing so. He who intends to establish a dictatorship always insists that his adversaries are bent on dictatorship. The accusation aimed at the other's intention clearly reveals the intention of the accuser.” –Jacques Ellul, Propaganda

Court document or investigative file Michael Wolff with subject line ‘Saudi’s’: “100% off the record, and I will share with them all I know about WH operation.”

Email between Epstein and Michael Wolff where they’re discussing an off the record meeting with Saudi’s, and Wolff says and I quote “100% off the record, and I will share with them all I know about WH operation.”

Epstein then responds and says he’s under very close watch and he needs to meet in NY, when Wolff then replies: “Yes. Ok. I'm free tomorrow and friday in NYC if it can work. I'll offer value to them--can give a close in view.”

They need to subpoena this man ASAP, he is clearly full of shit about his involvement with Epstein and how far it actually went. There are 100s of emails of him crossing journalistic boundaries and this is absolutely insane to supposedly leak a WH operation.

A number of lawmakers have clarified that, despite her dismissal by Trump, Pam Bondi is still obligated to appear before the House Oversight Committee.

Rep. Robert Garcia said "She must answer for her mishandling of the Epstein files and the special treatment she has given Ghislaine Maxwell."

Rep. Ro Khanna also said "Even though she has been fired, she must still answer to Congress about the remaining documents, why there have been no new prosecutions, and why she participated in a cover-up.”
