    I mean i surely do not know enough about american politics to argue against your points. It just seems there are no consequences for even the most despicable people you have, as long as they are powerful enough. Now while Epstein might seem like a good argument i would say he is only dead because he was a danger for more powerful people.

    Interesting times to be alive.

      Yeah, there probably won’t be consequences for the people on the list even if it were to be released

      It’s probably includes like half of our Congress, the Saudis, most billionaires (globally), a bunch of our judges, Prince Andrew, King William, and countless other influential politicians/figures across the world.

      This isnt an island, it involves the full network of the 80+ resorts, mansions, and compounds where billionaires spend most of their lives

      They killed (or coerced to suicide) Epstein because he got caught sex trafficking children and had the blackmail material holding the conspiracy together. It was making powerful people very nervous. They’d be nervous if he just sat in jail, they’d be nervous if he walked free

      The only way elites like that face consequences is when they’re at cross purposes with more powerful people

      My point being, powerful people are nervous. On the other side conspiracy theories have busted into places to “save the children” in cases like pizzagate, and they’ve been foaming at the mouth over this for years

      So the Trump admin are the ones in danger. They have to thread the needle between these two groups, and I think they were threatened when they failed to make it go away in the last few months
