    Sure, but you’re not an agent of the state and are more likely to be arrested for your cat videos than Epstein was about pedophilia.

    Do however keep in mind that the entire intent here seemed to be the creation of blackmail, it’s not just banality of evil but also ol Jeffy making sure that the dark desires of his marks was properly documented for mossad or whoever he was being funded by. He wasn’t worried about being caught by the state, he was an actor of the state.

        Epstein had other email addresses like jeevacation@gmail.com. It largely doesn’t matter other than it being kind of stupid to be using a US based cloud email server when the warrants come in.

      Email is never private. The protocol is not secure. You have to add an encryption layer on top to get that, and it’s annoying to manage.

        The point I’m making is Gmail is in the cloud and the feds got all the logs. Encryption is one way to protect email. Another is use a server in another jurisdiction. But neither is comparable to Signal.

    It’s like that saying about owing the bank money, if it’s small amounts, you have a problem, if tens of billions, it’s the bank’s problem.

    So it goes for being an Israeli honeypot entrapping politicians and swells into raping children and other perversions (and tax evasion,) on camera. You catch one of them doing it is your problem if caught. If you catch a critical mass of them doing it, on camera, it’s their problem.

    Mitch Webber’s original email to him was essentially “yeah you’re golden, fuck as many minors as you like, just bring them to another state first”. And he still seems to have kept his job at (checks notes) an antisemitism group.

    …what would happen if one were to transport a minor for sex — or transport oneself with the intent to have sex with a minor — into a state in which the age of consent is below eighteen (assuming the minor is above the age of consent in the given state)? And your intuition was right. The answer is that there is no violation of law.”

    Let’s be clear: everyone has a right to be represented by a lawyer in court, and we shouldn’t judge lawyers for defending rapists because they’re literally their job. But that’s not what’s happening here; this is him actively helping Epstein figure out the best way to rape children.

            innocent jews still exist.

            Absolutely, and I’d say even the majority. Sadly, the non-innocent ones have just devalued the definition of antisemitism so harshly that it cannot be used anymore without the assumption of bad connotation. I would recommend coming up with a new, more specific term that can’t be used as a genocide shield.

              Indeed, and the word doesn’t fit anyway. Arabs are a semetic peoples. Bigotry takes many forms, but idk if hating a country’s actions would fit into any of them in an honest definition. It’s not xenophobia to oppose the actions of a government, I don’t know what type of bigotry would even be close.

              Because opposing official actions of a country, is not bigotry. Opposing the actions of a people, is not bigotry under any reasonable definition unless you are opposing it because of whom they are.

              there are people like Ben Shapiro that are on the same side as those bastards while emphasizing the “JUDEO” part of “JUDEO-Christian values” which , btw, is a term that has been engineered specifically to exclude islam out of the group of “Abrahamic religions”, and/or to shove jews into the same bucket as the majority when “christian values” would be used instead.

        Ostensibly, yes. As far as I can tell from their entry in influencewatch they also do something called “pro-Israel legal advocacy”, but I don’t know what that is. Either way it’s not a great look having Epstein’s consigliere on board.

          Legal advocacy for Israel is likely very dark stuff, to name a few possibilities here, the new anti protest laws states passed around 2018 deserve mention along with their campaigns to turn the opposition to big money and Israel into domestic terrorists. They have laws on the tamer end that cancel the bill of rights and make it against the law to support the boycott movement. Some just for state contracts, but some go farther, either way it’s punishing 1st amendment protected activity.

          The advocacy can be connected to their pursuit of critics under accusations of supporting terrorism and financing, and advocacy can be pressuring prosecutors, politicians, judges, the media, etc. to take the position that there is a terror angle. At which point they could take all of their assets, arrest everyone tangentially involved, seize those tangential peoples’ assets, get them all fired, could file rico to boot, private or public and expand it out further with a friendly judge.[

          There are also new laws from around 2018 that illegalize protest. These were orchestrated by fossil fuel companies in response to oil project protests and the like mostly. A lot of the more shitholier states passed them. Some, I think AZ might be one, it was reported in the Intercept I could find it, make organizers responsible for anything and everything that happens at a protest. There was a lot more to them than that. Impeding critical infrastructure is like a serious felony if not domestic terrorism with it. Chaining yourself to an oil pipeline under construction could see you in prison for life with all of your assets stolen and those of everyone you have any connection to basically. Being told to leave an area and not doing it immediately, or being accused of not doing it, is a serious felony if not terror. They are a further repudiation of the 1st amendment.

          So an Israel protest they could have their own guy punch someone, the organizers could be charged, and face ruinous 100k fines and the like if I recall. It is just built for agents of the groups being accused to create and incident and destroy the organizers, and others involved in the protest. Or blocking a road, crossing the street could get you accused of blocking it and you are a terrorist or at the least a person facing 30 years in prison or whatever and hundreds of thousands in fines.

          I am not sure if the greenpeace rico kangaroo court ruling used these new laws in north dakota, but that is sort of how it will play out. Basically going forward you can’t have any established group sponsor or even endorse a protest.

          Even if the charges don’t stick it’s ruinous to be charged and they know that, and the Israeli superfans are as vicious and capricious as they come, pleasuring in their impunity as the chosen people (of the US Government,) that are above law and given absolute power over American politics. A notion only we dispute.

          https://theintercept.com/2019/08/19/oil-lobby-pipeline-protests/ Same issue different article than I read, search engines don’t try to find what you ask anymore they give you one close, maybe, from the publication you are asking. Problem started for me in 2021 before that it worked I could find any article with knowledge from memory.

          Israel is pretty antisemitic. They kill lots of semitic arabs. And pro-israel groups tend to condone or excuse all that semite-killing, which is pretty antisemitic.

          You don’t like his tone, but it’s very important those two people went to prison. Should more people be in prison? Absolutely.

          We’re in a worse situation than that now. There was some rule of law when those two went to prison. They likely wouldn’t go today. They weren’t just some “faces”; they were the primary people responsible for the crimes.

          The murderers of Renee Good and Alex Pretti aren’t in jail.

              I am sure the only reason Maxwell hasn’t russuicided like epstein is she has compromising information that would be released on her death. Epstein probably had that too until the president and his pals talked to Israeli intelligence and cut a deal with them. Maxwell likely has her own people, as if this is some Robert Ludlum novel.

                So you’d agree then that no single person that really matters has been prosecuted then? Because the OP was slightly mistaken that no single person was charged. But hey, they got the 2 faces and none of the people facilitating or buying the services for the rich and powerful, so the rape gang can keep on keeping on.

                But yeah, you got’em!

                  No I think it’s very important that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, two child sex traffickers, former also a child sexual abuser, were convicted and imprisoned. They were not the “two faces”, they were facilitating (and in Epstein’s case, partaking in) the illegal, immoral acts we’re talking about.

                  You don’t know if the rape gang carried on. You’ve got no evidence for it. That doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, but it’s just wrong to say without evidence.

                  Saying it contributes to a world where it’s normal to just accuse people of shit. It doesn’t only blow onto the wealthy and the powerful who you think are bad - the giant paedophile conspiracy theory which you’re subscribing to helped elect Trump. It never mattered that Trump was mentioned in the files - it never mattered what was true because people like the OP, people like you, chat a load of shit and think it’s ok. You can do better.

                  That is why I care about it. So no, I didn’t got’em, because you don’t get it.

            " No one was arrested"

            " One person was arrested"

            “ONLY one person was arrested because they’re specifically NOT arresting anybody else. This is what we’re complaining about”

            " So you agree one person was arrested?"

            Like yes, we agree with you about the unimportant point that a nonzero amount of people were arrested, which specifically was NOT what OP meant, ya silly literalist.

              I think it’s important to be truthful, and I also think it’s important that Epstein and Maxwell were both sent to jail.

              And I think it’s even more important to push back against statements that are made not for their truth but just for their vibes, and the idea that calling out their lack of truth is somehow an opposition to the vibe. You can just say something true that expresses your feelings adequately, and it doesn’t contribute to an environment where truth doesn’t matter.
