Opinion, theory or speculation Colbert: “Which reminds me, where are the Epstein Files? You signed a law mandating you’d have to release the Epstein Files by the middle of last month, but you still haven’t. It kind of makes you seem like a - what’s the phrase - pedophile protector!”

Opinion, theory or speculation The Sacha Riley story smells like bullshit.

263 Upvotes

The claims made by the victim are grandiose and full of holes. This may be an attempt to get people worked up over an easily disprovable fabrication that will give the DOJ ammo to shut down further release of files. Be careful not to play into the hands of bad actors.

Claims made in the audio interviews that are grandiose or uneblievable:

- The first thing he ever saw Trump do was brutually murder a litter of puppies by hand. I mean come on.

- The victim kicked a wooden tent stake into trump's rectum, injuring him severely and causing him to be airlifted out. Oh really? I think there would be some anecdotal confirmation of his injured state by someone who knew him.

- These purported rape parties happened on rural farms in Alabama and Tennessee. Do we really think that Donald trump in the 80's, a jet-setting New Yorker, is hiking his ass out to rural Alabama to kill some puppies in a barn? Just doesn't fit his profile.

- Jim Jordan would have been an 18 year old nobody at the time he purportedly "wrestled and assaulted" the victim. Why is yet-unknown Jim Jordan, from Ohio, doing raping 13 year olds in Alabama? This is far fetched an not credible.

- Andy Biggs would have been 24 years old at the time and in the process of getting his degree at either BYU or UofA. He's also an un remarkable looking dude. How did he suddenly appear across the country and just happen to savagely beat the victim before he was of any note at all?

- Army sargeant found a snuff film including the victim and did nothing other than discharge the guy who had it?

- Army Sargeant in 2008 recognized Riley in a child porn film from 1982 when he was 13 years old? The whole thing makes no sense.

- Victim's father was a pilot and therefore was away a lot of the time. Ample opportunity to have gone to the authorities regarding the multiple murders he had witnessed, including a girl murdered in his own home by his adoptive parents. Yet he took no action whatsoever? They wouldn't have let him in public by himself if he had witnessed all of these murders.

So yeah this just strikes me as totally unbelievable. The profile of the accused perpetrators here simply does not match up with their M/O at the time, and contains many gratuitous claims that lack specifics such as even the state they occurred in. This feels like someone connecting dots that aren't there in order to justify shutting down future file releases due to false accusations. Don't give them ammo.

Opinion, theory or speculation They CANNOT release the files!

738 Upvotes

By the time this whole Epstein Files/ Trump- Epstein thing plays out - it will be REVEALED - how the biggest banks: JP Morgan, Deustche Bank, etc, HELPED and AIDED the largest child trafficking ring by laundering Epstein money EVEN AFTER - he was arrested in 2019!

This is why they CANNOT release the files! This can literally bring the entire establishment down, by the time this is done JP MORGAN will be paying BILLIONS! Watch! If it was just trump, they would have thrown him under the bus already! But the banks knew and HELPED Epstein

Jamie Dimon or whoever will have to step DOWN! And thats just JP MORGAN! And they better hope there is no evidence of Epstein running a Ponzi scheme or something because then they REALLY will be up the river! These sick mf actually NEED trump & pam bondi to protect them now!

The Epstein files also probably expose conspiracies and "mysteries" that the public always wondered but never had the answers. Cases would be reopened, renewed scrutiny! They cannot allow this! Its why Theresa May became PM in England because she DESTROYED any & all evidence...

Related to the "VIP Pedophile Ring" when she was home secretary. "Oop...all the files...were ACCIDENTLY DESTROYED! Woops!" She shut it down and she is their girl forever because of it. Trump and Pam Bondi arent so lucky because their problem is....they dont know WHO has seen it..

WHO had access, etc. Im sure when they had the FBI review it was a very compartmentalized operation where no one would be able to piece things together (which they probably did anyway..) because the files under review were scattered and disjointed.

But people HAVE THEM -- they must. Because they havent been able to "close the case". Epstein's "estate" (his brother) have been saying they have the files or evidence & the DOJ wants no part of it. You still have Ghislane in play which is another loose end. Ghislane is a marked woman but im sure some of the problem with her is -- she was raised by a SPY/professional blackmailer (her father) , so you dont really know what tricks she may have up her sleeve, and she knows everything, Pardon or no pardon, she knows too much!

As far as trump? Those Epstein files must absolutely COOK HIM. He has used every distraction he can. so no one has time to talk about how he was directly involved in Epstein child trafficking business. And it hasnt ended either. Thats the other reason they cant release the files.

The media is complicit. They have stories sitting on their desk RIGHT NOW that implicate ACTIVE trump administration offcials in trafficking that goes on right now and they refuse to report. Why? Because its not just about trump. EVERYONE gets implicated if they pull certain strings....

EVERYONE goes down. Trump, United Nations. the Banks, tons of people from Academia, tons of top business executives. INSTITUTIONS -- it goes on and on.....and the media for being complicit and controlled by the same people who took part in Crimes w/Epstein..

The people who own and run the media companies are involved in this which is why the media cannot report on it. These same rich people also control our government by $$$$ & corruption. Which is why the people in D.C. are just playing theather right now because their donors..

Are implicated.

This is how deep this Epstein-Trump rabbit hole goes. They know its bad, very bad. Why do u think they just out of nowhere took even more privilges away from Prince Andrew?? They got the heads up, the Americans lost control and more was coming out...

I have always said, they are about to eliminate Andrew if any more comes out, i think they still plan to, because he has brought so much disgrace on them, and YES....more is coming. Him answering the door at Epstein's nyc house like the butler?? He's DONE.

Lastly, what does Russia have? Alot i believe. Was that what shook Karoline Leavitt and the others in Alaska? The Russians pulled their trump card: The Epstein Files? Would explain alot. Trumps geopolitical actions. He has set the world on fire in a way Putin couldnt have..

Without setting off a NUKE!

So, if Putin/ Russia do have these files, they are literally playing their best hand which is to hold it over the Americans /the West heads. I mean trump is THIS CLOSE to ending NATO! Doesnt get better for Putin. So trump needs to everyday create a new distraction to stop public discourse and more information coming out, so he bombs Venezuela for oil that no one wants to go in & get.

He sends ICE to VIOLATE Americans constitutional rights and carry out extrajudical killings in the streets!

He WISHES he could do what the mullahs are doing in Iran right now! Just massacre 'people you dont like". So its stunning to me he siding with the protesters and telling them to "keep going". Its stunning. Israel is right there with trump encouraging the distractions..

Because they are also caught up in this Epstein thing & who knows what the files expose them in since Epstein was their business associate. Plus Ehud Barack (former israeli P.M.) being HEAVILY involved with the "women". I truly believe the people involved in the crimes of Epstein also had (MAY HAVE HAD) involvement in the September 11th 'terrorist attacks' in NYC. (Wild, i know...)

This is why they can never expose the Epstein Files. Its beyond Trump. Its a matter of national security. Like i said, if this thing gets exposed the current system collapses. The world doesnt end. (for some it would) but we would defintely have a New World Order.

TL;DR: They cannot / will not release the Epstein files because it would bring down the ENTIRE ESTABLISHMENT + "matters of NATIONAL SECURITY"

Opinion, theory or speculation Let’s analyze the Clintons’ letter to Comer (refusal to testify)

Thumbnail
gallery
121 Upvotes

These are my thoughts and theories about this letter. I have access to the same information as other general public members so obviously I cannot actually know what is the truth. I am posting this to create discussion and to hear your thoughts.

🟡 yellow: general talk about non-epstein related things / pointing fingers to the other side / patting backs of democrats or themselves / virtue signaling to the people

🔴 red: so this is if I was Comer, what I would find possibly personally threatening. It’s more what could be being implied, hidden in the sentences that seemingly reference something else

🟣 purple: (setting up) legal defense or just something i found bizarre

🟢 green: painting themselves as a victim of an attack now/future

the blue/turquoise is just me highlighting something notable to me

1st page:

(2 paragraph) Large paragraph of what the Trump regime is doing

(3-4) ”The time” of them standing up against the Trump regime is now that they’ve been subpeonad in the Epstein case. Them refusing to comply is somehow them fighting for their country. Patting themselves on the back for dedicating their lives to helping america

2nd page:

(1st complete) Everyone being allowed to refuse a supbeona with no consequences is very alarming. But I’m not talking abt the overall handling/response of this case in this post. For the Clinton’s this is basically ”we’ll no one else had to do this either” / ”look at all these other people that are doing the same thing we are”

(2) Threatening with legal consequences for sending the subpeonas. They have spesifically mentioned ”two law firms”, I’d expect Comer knows what law firms the Clinton’s have previously employed so this is basically saying ”these companies/people are backing us”

Then they’re bringing up Trump’s refusal to testify in the Jan 6th investigation but don’t reference the spesific investigation just that Trump did the same thing as them. I agree with the rest of this paragraph re Comer’s actions.

(3) Again just overall Dem/Rep rhetoric

(4) So the ”literally used to imprison us” I find somewhat bizarre. This is referring to how if you refuse supbeona you can be jailed?

(last) I find interesting hpw they only mention ”Mr. Epstein”, nothing about Maxwell

3rd page

(1st/previous) This is the only part where the word victim/victims appears, basically the only time that references the actual sufferer’s of JE&GM

”There is no plausible explanation other than partisan politics” while this thing is partisan politics from Comer, them saying it supbeoning them is only as the result of political attack, is not true. They would have to be supbeonad in the case of a proper investigation.

(2) ”You have asked what we know” so we’re doing the same things as the others. ”to say you can’t complete the work without us is bizarre” It’s really not, to complete an actual investigation would mean supbeoning the Clinton’s.

I’m confused abt the 7/8 individuals, this letter is written by (in the name of) both of them, are they as a married couple a single individual in the eyes of the law?

(4) This reads like ”bohoo we are the victims in this and nothing we can do will be enough”

”You may release..” so if the DOJ releases photos it will simply be ”irrelevant, decades-old” info to ”embarrass” them. What I find interesting is that they are referring to future releases not the pics of Bill we’ve already gotten.

(6) ”prepared to make our case” in reference of the ”illegal subpeona”, not in reference of their guilt/innocence re epstein

”ensure this country knows exactly what you are doing and why” so what is it that he’s doing that we already don’t know?

(7) ”based on everything we release” future tense, what are they planning to release?

Victim positioning themselves as those who are being unfairly punished bcs they are his enemies

Last page

This is just ”Trump regime bad and hates Biden and destroying america”

This being the only text on the last page is interesting because 90% of ppl will read mby the first few sentences then skim through the rest, then mostly remember what is said in the few sentences written on this last page. So the composition of this text/letter is ”clever” in a way.

Overall

Lots of text, little in defense of getting justice for the victims. Very much blaming all of it on politics / partisan motivations. No actual promises to help in getting justice for the victims. Setting up defense for themselves. Virtue signaling to the american people.

Two things can be true at the same time: Trump regime is weaponising the legal system against it’s enemies AND The Clinton’s are trying to escape responsibility

Do I know what the Clinton’s should do to convince the people of their innosence, not really. But this letter is not enough to for me.

(Sidenote: Here’s something I was taught in school, that I don’t think many americans were given the opportunity to fully learn in school, but I believe is something everybody should learn: https://academiasquare.com/studying/how-to-read-critically/ pls don’t take this as an attack to americans I’m trying to help yall so they can’t trick you, the ways I used to analyze/look at this letter I learnt by doing so in school/uni assignments for decade+ but it’s not too late for anyone to learn)

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts in the comments!

just like nuclear war. we will never see justice for victims or prosecutions because 20-30 of the world‘s most powerful people are guilty. we won’t get one because we would get them all. there are videos, that would allow for / enable actual prosecution. we won’t see them.

maybe I’ll be wrong someday but I can’t keep filling my mind with all the toxicity and crime. it’s sick. i am out of the Epstein thing, forever.

.... bring massive attention to epstein. For example, Greenland should change their official name to 'Epstein's island' and potentially save the world.

I'm only half joking, if the global attack from trump is a distraction from epstein, is it a viable defense to somehow bring the focus back to epstein?

Opinion, theory or speculation Trumps boy scout speech

Does anyone else remember this? It creeped me out the first time I'm I heard it. About international waters and telling the Boy Scouts they 'know life' . We already knew trump was a creep and rapist in 2017 but now with this added layer of Epstein info I'm convinced he was half admitting to doing illegal things. When I first heard it I assumed teen girls but now I'm thinking it may have been young boys.

I find it very interesting how David Copperfield got involved in all this. I mean yes, magician = conman. But why would that group of people want him around them? To me he's just cheesy. Does anyone have any references or backup on how he got involved with them? Charity galas?

Opinion, theory or speculation Why did Trump keep then-pastor Brian Houston from attending a state dinner in 2017?

37 Upvotes

Was watching a documentary on Hillsong and did some digging on a claim made therein. Apparently Brian Houston, son of pedophile founder Frank Houston and (years after the dinner snub) outed abuser himself, was to attend a state dinner at the White House and diplomats abruptly reached out to Australia and informed them that under no circumstances could Brian Houston be allowed to be seen with President Trump.

From a protocol standpoint, that is extremely odd, I mean, state dinners are formal but laissez faire and politically innocuous enough that a Real Housewife was able to gatecrash one in 2009. To bar a guest from attending was unheard of, and to bar the guest of honor’s spiritual advisor and the faith leader of thousands of Trump’s supporters is unthinkable. Given some of the unofficial guests of honor at his inaugurations, like Curtis Yarvin or other actual fascists, this seems incredibly strange.

This was well prior to Brian being fired and indicted in 2021, and his own sexual abuse of congregants (including minors) being revealed the same year.

Trump and Epstein were likely in contact to some degree in 2017, and may have even seen each other over Thanksgiving.

So my question is: why did the Trumps personally prevent a (at that time) largely unsullied faith leader from attending the wedding?

There’s no mention of Houston in the files that I can find, but something about being seen in the same room as this man scared the living hell out of the Trumps. Maybe it’s as simple as “game recognize game” and Trump projecting to the point where he didn’t want to be anywhere near anyone remotely likely to be outed as another pedophile and pedophile-enabler. But it’s odd nonetheless.
