A few in Europe, and a lot in USA, and the whole thing being an American operation, there's a pretty significant difference.
Sure there were Americans involved, but it was arguably a worldwide operation. Plenty of ties to the UK, EU, Russia, Israel and various middle eastern countries. I’m happy to talk crap about the US (amongst other countries) but I prefer to stick to facts when doing so.
True, but not the people that actually rule the UK or EU, only for USA does this spread right to the very top of those that actually rule. And it also spreads way more widely among the top in USA.
We also need to consider the media bias though. Most outlets I have seen that are reporting on the files are US based. They will likely recognize well known US names easily and so will their audience. It’s logical to report on those first.
Also just to add more names to the non-US pile:
Willing to bet there’s countless more high ranking politicians and royals worldwide involved. We’ll get more names in time I am sure.
Elon Musk South Africa. 🤣🤣🤣
I don't think he had contact with Epstein when he was a South African.
Also by that standard there are no true Americans apart from the native American.
IDK the details about most of those people, but for instance Mette-Marit visited Epstein once, and apart from that only had contact by mail, I don't think that makes her necessarily a pedophile. She's an idiot IMO, and also she has zero power.
Really? He was at a science conference at a neighboring island.
You are making a huge guilt by association argument, and that's actually disgusting, and probably the purpose of the way the information is released, because it's to protect Trump and his friends.
Epstein cast an enormous net to try to catch important people, just because the net was cast on you, doesn't mean he actually ever got to you.
Let's wait and see what the evidence shows. If this will ever be properly investigated, which the current administration is doing everything to prevent.
Sure, musk also had Canadian citizenship and also eventually US citizenship after 2002.
People were sending their condolences to Epstein upon the death of Stephen Hawking because they “knew they were so close”. Also Hawking was directly accused by Virginia Giuffre of attending one of the same orgies as Bill Clinton.
The Norwegian crown princess appears in the files over 1000 times and had close email contact for years and stayed at his house 5 years after his conviction. Her emails were in part referencing her son in relation to naked women. The same son is currently on trial for sex crimes.
Obviously not everyone in the files will be a pedophile. Some people will simply be pedophile supporters, ridiculously gullible, motivated by money, simply victims or just existing in the same circles, but the same counts for the people from the US that are mentioned. You were the one claiming that this was a US operation. I have given you many, many counter examples with you giving 0 examples of your own. I’m done wasting my time on this.
