Have they identified the 14-yr old down syndrome girl whom jeffry and Leon Black impregnated and killed her baby? Or was she one of the victims who vanished with Epestien's 400 galons of acid and remains thrown in the ocean?

Nothing is going to come of this. He's invincible because we've allowed it.

He's invincible because 1/3rd of the US population looked away while another 1/3rd put him into power.

[–] ericatty@infosec.pub 5 points 3 hours ago

And the other 1/3 were accused of being hyperbolic and/or hysterical.

[–] Stormy@thelemmy.club 9 points 6 hours ago

For real. We never stood a chance against him and el on musk manipulating the ever loving fuck out of the media and the election.

[–] bearboiblake@pawb.social 11 points 10 hours ago

He's a frail old man. One solid shove in the right direction would be all it takes.

She'd better watch out.

Trump is good for the rich people, so anyone who threatens him threatens them.

She already disappeared.

forced a woman to give him oral sex when she was in her early teens

Talk about failure as a journalist. I just can’t with these assholes. They’re almost as guilty as Trump in that their word choice helps every last one of those bastards get away with it.

If the GIRL was a TEEN, then she was a CHILD, not a woman. I don’t care about the potential for alternative interpretations here. The frame placed on the situation is done with one word: woman. Not teen. Not child. Not kid. Not girl. “Woman”. Which creates a sideways shift in perception.

I am so sick of this shit.

[–] bearboiblake@pawb.social 10 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

Again, this isn't a failure, the media is working exactly as intended. They aren't on our side, they're on the side of the ruling class. The ruling class bought and own the media. They aren't going to use the media to criticize themselves.

If we want to see justice, we need to make it. We need to take action. The rules of the system protect the ruling class. We need to break the rules and break the system itself.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

The ruling class and Israel control the media

[–] bearboiblake@pawb.social 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Israel is a puppet state of the US. It is also controlled by the ruling class.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

They wouldn’t need to blackmail our politicians if that was the case . I think you’ve got it backwards it’s us who’s occupied by them. Netynahu is calling the shots Trump is a joke

[–] bearboiblake@pawb.social 0 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

I don't have it backwards, I promise you. Israel is a colony set up by the US and the UK with the explicit purpose of advancing their foreign policy goals in the Middle East. The US pretends that Israel is a sovereign nation because the US population would not tolerate their actions if it was their own country.

Israel destabilizes the middle east, making the region ripe for extractionism.

Not all US politicians are aligned with US/Israeli imperialist interests and thus they are bribed, but plenty of them aren't.

Trump is a puppet, but he's not Israel's puppet, he's the puppet of the primarily US-based ruling elite.

Look at all of the connections between Mossad and the CIA. They work together all the time.

Stop spreading their misinfornation for them.

Certin News people faced justice when the Nazis fell, a lot of people forget that it wasnt just the soldier of the regime that were tried and persecuted. Tho this person likely isn't the subject, her editer def might get looked over

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 92 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

Raped a teenager. That's what he did. He raped a teenage girl .

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 31 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

He raped a 13 year old girl. There. I said what should be in the headlines.

“Underage woman” is a phrase used by pedophile supporters.

Trigger warning for her testimonial.

She also disappeared without a trace after Trump became president.

Feds knew. America knew.

This is America.

And the darkest part is the sex trafficking and rape most likely is just the tip of how evil they are. They don't just want to own sex slaves, they want, or even more likely have the upper hand in owning humanity.

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 7 points 14 hours ago (4 children)

i wonder when they get bored of raping kids and start having hungergame style fucked up shit or something even more horrifying. Who knows if they already do in secret.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 hours ago

Didn’t the files talk about killing and eating some of the kids? Pretty sure that’s what they do when they bored of them.

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 1 points 9 hours ago

We had rich people eating slaves and natives since the founding of our nation.

I was going to respond to this, but the other commenter said it better than could.

That's called composition. A formal logical fallacy. Supersets are not homogenous. Applying what's true about a subset to the superset is possibly correct but often isn't.

For instance, all dogs are collies is demonstrably wrong. But all collies are dogs is true.

Again, early teens is not a woman, that's grade school or beginning of high school:

TNR reporter Edith Olmsted wrote that “A 21-page slideshow buried in the massive trove of Epstein-related documents included allegations that sometime between 1983 and 1985, Trump forced a woman to give him oral sex when she was in her early teens,” Olmsted wrote. “When the woman bit down on Trump’s exposed penis, he allegedly punched her in the head and kicked her out. That same woman told the DOJ that Epstein had introduced her to Trump in 1984.”
