Case 1:16-cv-04642-RA Document 1-2 Filed 062016 Page 1 of 2:
“7. It was at these series of parties that I personally witnessed the Plaintiff being forced to perform various sexual acts with Donald J. Trump and Mr. Epstein. Both Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein were advised she was 13 years old.
8. I personally witnessed four sexual encounters that the Plaintiff was forced to have with Mr. Trump during this period, including the fourth of these encounters where Mr. Trump forcibly raped her despite her pleas to stop.”
@AdameMedia:
If the Epstein files would affect national security that means your politicians are pedophiles and your intelligence agencies know it.
The Epstein files went from being a hoax to a threat to national security if released.
… Massie accuses Speaker Johnson’s for PROTECTING pedophiIes:
“He wants to carve out an exemption for the very men who raped these women. He says, ‘We’ll make sure they’re credible allegations.’ So is he calling the survivors we heard today not credible? That’s the implication.”
… Massie exposes Mike Johnson:
“He’s trying to say the rich, powerful men who flew to Epstein Island are the victims now.
The only way a ‘Christian man’ can stand up there and sell a lie like that is if he’s already decided in his head that protecting them is somehow okay.”
“Trump is a child rapist, there is no denying it anymore. Trump is a child rapist and the white house fought to cover it up.”
Beverley Wood:
“One photograph stood out.”
It sure did, and I pointed it out to everyone I knew — trump is now happy to be the new Epstein – out loud for the world to see — because he thinks he is untouchable.
Sandra H:
He has no soul…he’s the devil incarnate and he’s been allowed to get away with everything including murder…when will he b stopped?
Linda MacDonald:
Thanks for writing about Jane Doe 13 years old. I have thought about her often as I have not forgotten her. I remember when she withdrew her case. Her story is so important!!
Mae Wilson:
This story is horrific! Trump once said he could commit murder on Madison Avenue and “They would still vote for me”. Sounds like he was right, but his rape and abuse of women, underage and otherwise surely begs the worst punishment the law could hand him. But they still vote for him and he avoids jail time and time again. This story here in print, begs to be published in every newspaper throughout the US. There must be alternate press outside the mainstream that would publish it. Yes, he would sue, but it would be worth it.
John F Psutka:
Thanks Charlie. My God Charlie this absolutely disgusting and depraved beyond any devil worshipping scum sucker. America has its head up its ass and won’t pulpit out. To be so morally bankrupt , is never again to return. Canadians must stay well away from this depravity that consumes and invades all of American society. There is no hope for Americans right now. A major break will have to occur to change direction and I doubt this will happen.
@trixie57.bsky.social:
That little girl’s name is Katie Johnson. Here is her full testimony about what Trump and Epstein did to her, along with court documents and the follow up article when she dropped it because she was being threatened.
Katie Johnson filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump & Epstein for (allegedly) raping her when she was 13.
Do yourself a favor Maga, and listen to her story. The only reason she came forward was because he ran for president in 2016, & she was trying to protect us from him.
@susiegquesie7591.bsky.social:
Millions of us know how evil he is.
Greed, Misogyny
, RAPE RELIGION & Racism keep him in power.
@AdameMedia:
This is how Israel became a country.
BREAKING: Epstein friend Lawrence Summers, former US Treasury secretary under Bill Clinton, to STEP DOWN from public commitments after documents showed he asked Jeffrey Epstein for advice on pursuing an extramarital relationship with a female mentee.
The latest in a long line of leaks exposing his relationship with the pedophiIe trafficker that lasted long after he was convicted as a pedophiIe.
This rat needs to be investigated. But the FBI is corrupt.
Trump’s Heart of Darkness, Warning: This story involves allegations of child abuse and rape by Charlie Angus / The Resistance, Nov 09, 2025
“His very existence was improbable, inexplicable, and altogether bewildering. He was an insoluble problem. It was inconceivable how he had existed, how he had succeeded in getting so far, how he had managed to remain – why he did not instantly disappear.”
– Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness
As millions of Americans faced the prospect of going hungry from having their basic food support suspended, Trump held a lavish Gatsby-themed Halloween party. Photos circulating from Mar-a-Lago showed scantily clad young dancers performing for wealthy old men in tuxedos.
One photograph stood out.
It showed a very young woman, partially naked, frolicking in a giant champagne glass. The photograph drew barely a flicker of attention from the media, even though she was performing for the president of the United States.
Trump’s Halloween spectacle came almost nine years to the day after another young woman was set to come forward with allegations that could have driven a stake through the heart of America’s Caligula.
The Press Conference That Never Was
It was November 2, 2016, just days before the presidential election. A woman using the name “Jane Doe” was set to host a press conference laying out allegations of her forcible confinement, beating and rape by Trump – brutal violations that took place when she was just 13 years old.
Jane Doe had a witness to back her up.
This witness wrote a statement describing the abuse suffered by Jane Doe and another 12-year-old girl at the hands of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. The witness stated the 12-year-old had been “disappeared” following one of the rapes.
But the press conference never happened.
It was hastily cancelled following death threats against the young woman and her lawyer. A few days later, Trump was elected. Jane Doe, whoever she is, went to ground.
I thought of Jane Doe as I looked at the photo of the very young woman (a teen perhaps) barely clothed in the fake glass of champagne. It was a stark reminder that the toxic world into which Jane Doe found herself has not gone away.
From Mar-a-lago to the Palace
Trump’s Gatsby celebration was about defiant excess and depravity. It took place as the Jeffrey Epstein scandal claimed its biggest name. The royal family has taken the unprecedented step of stripping Prince Andrew of all his titles. Andrew’s involvement in the sexual abuse scandal of Epstein has direct connections to Trump.
In 2022, Andrew was forced to pay an undisclosed sum to Virginia Giuffre, who at the age of 17, was recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell, while working at Mar-a-Lago for Trump. Virginia was turned over to Andrew who raped her while she was dressed as a prepubescent girl.
Trump later said that his friend, Epstein, “stole” the teenager from him.
By age 19, Virginia was considered too old for the Epstein crowd. She escaped to Australia. As the sexual crimes of the Epstein empire began to break in the media, she was contacted by both Maxwell and Epstein and warned to keep her mouth shut. (1)
Virginia went public but committed suicide before Andrew ever paid a price.
Perhaps she never believed that justice would be done.
But things may have shifted.
The first to go down was Peter Mandelson, former British Ambassador to the United States. He was fired when his signature appeared in the same birthday greeting book that included a pornographic signature from Donald Trump. Trump denies having written the greeting.
Firing an ambassador would normally be a huge thing, but it was small potatoes compared to the fallout from Prince Andrew’s scandal. You just don’t strip the king’s brother of his titles and frog march him out of the palace. It doesn’t happen.
Word is that Andrew refused to sign any statement acknowledging his crimes. King Charles ignored him and issued a statement that Buckingham Palace expressed its “utmost sympathies” with the survivors of the abuse.
This suggests that the House of Windsor is in full damage control and is willing to throw an entitled royal under the bus to achieve the distance they need.
Trump says he feels bad for the Royal family. No doubt he is pondering the question: if it is possible for a member of the royal family to be taken down, then maybe a sitting president could also be vulnerable — especially a president with such a tainted track record.
But even as the calls for the release of the documents in the Epstein case grow louder, Trump grows more defiant.
And this is where I fear he may be right. Would any further release of evidence linking Trump to Epstein and the abuse of women have any impact at all?No. MAGAt Christians hate women and girls and love rapists and raping; Trump is their worshipped viciously cruel lunatic who will legalize rape for them The evidence has always been there in plain sight. It’s just that no one in the media, the courts, or the electorate seemed particularly interested.
How is that even possible?Humans want to rape without consequence. Look around the world! Rapists everywhere, notably in positions of riches and power, usually let off by rape friendly disgusting judges appointed by rapist and or rape-friendly politicians.
Jane Doe’s Story
Let’s go back to the press conference that never was.
The court filing of Jane Doe makes for very dark reading. In 1994, she would have been in the 8th grade. An apparent runaway, she landed at the Port Authority bus terminal with a dream of becoming a model. This was where she was spotted by a young woman known as “Tiffany Doe.” It was Tiffany’s job as “party planner” to procure attractive young girls for Epstein.
Jane Doe was brought into the Epstein world at a time when Trump was bragging publicly about his close friendship with Epstein. To Trump, Epstein was a “terrific guy… [who] likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
According to the court filings, Trump knew Jane was only 13 years old. She and another 12-year-old named Maria were forced to perform sex acts on Epstein and Trump. Both girls were degraded and abused. The witness affidavit from Tiffany Doe stated that Maria went missing soon after this party.
Then, Trump had Jane Doe tied up on a bed where she was raped. Jane stated that when she begged him to stop, he slapped her across the face and said he could do whatever he liked.
Jane Doe said Trump warned her that he would have her and her family killed if she dared tell anyone.
Witness Tiffany Doe backed up the allegation of physical threat.
In her affidavit, she stated Trump warned “she shouldn’t say anything unless she wanted to disappear like the 12-year-old female Maria and that he was capable of having her whole family killed.”
It was a sordid story. But if journalists were worried about going forward on mere rumours, they could have simply referenced the public court filings of the Southern District of New York. The whole story was written for them.
When word came out that the press conference had been cancelled the media merely shrugged. The headlines at the time stated that Jane Doe had “failed to appear”. There was little interest in following up on the fact that she had gone into hiding from death threats. Instead, they hammered Jane Doe’s lawyer with questions about whether the press conference had been coordinated with the Hilary Clinton campaign.
Other media like Vox dismissed Jane Doe out of hand. They pointed out that the young woman provided an address for an abandoned house. Sure, Vox admitted, Jane Doe had said she was homeless, but it still made her case look “fishy.” (2)
End of story.
The publication Jezebel downplayed the allegations of violence and child rape as merely “unflattering” for Trump. They wrote off Jane Doe, saying that even for Trump, her story seemed “beyond the pale.” (3)
Case closed.
This was a full year before #MeToo reset the balance in favour of sexual abuse survivors. When given the choice of investigating the story of child rape brought forward by a homeless young woman or giving the benefit of the doubt to a very powerful man, media sided with the man running to be president.
It is possible that the press was right when they wrote off the allegations as a scheme cooked up by a young hustler. But to accept this premise meant journalists had to ignore a mountain of evidence on Trump and Epstein.
Rumours connecting Trump to rape had a long and ugly history. In the 1993 book, The Lost Tycoon, former Newsweek reporter Harry Hurt III wrote that Ivana Trump accused her husband of violent rape and vicious assault in her 1990 divorce deposition. Following a substantial financial payout and a non-disclosure agreement, Ivana modified her story by saying she had not been raped “in a criminal sense.” (4)
During the 2016 election, the allegations of sexual misconduct were swirling around Trump. After being accused of sexual assault by a woman on an airplane, he boasted about it at a MAGA rally:
“Believe me, she would not be my first choice. Check her out on Facebook. You’ll understand.” (5)
It was the same insult he threw at E. Jean Carroll when she accused him of rape. But her case went to court, and she was vindicated.
Then in late October 2016, the Access Hollywood tape was released.
The “grab ‘em by the pussy” tape was explosive proof that Trump believed he was so powerful he could sexually assault women without repercussions. Since the 1970s over 25 woman had come forward with allegations of sexual assault by Trump. He called them all liars and when allegations were made in the 2016 election, he said he would sue every one of them once he became president.
The Hollywood Access tape should have ended Trump’s election bid. But it didn’t.of course not, MAGAt men want to rape – and get away with it, just like their raping hero, Trump.Within half an hour of the release of the bombshell audio, the first massive batch of Democratic Party emails stolen by Russian hackers was released.
The role of Russian interference in getting Trump elected is well documented. The timing of the release of various stolen emails was crucial for slowing momentum for Clinton while giving Trump the breathing space he needed when the Hollywood access tape was released.
On the one hand, there was hard evidence of a sexual predator running for the most powerful office in the land, and a witness that had been frightened into silence. On the other hand, there were stolen emails hacked by the Russians that exposed petty squabbles within the Clinton campaign.
The media jumped on the latter.
Jane Doe could have been the missing piece to bring Trump’s world crashing down. Or would it have changed anything at all?Perhaps in a different species, but not in Homo naziens.
Evil in Plain Sight
Trump’s manifest evil has always been there in plain sight. By his actions, he forces everyone else to either pretend they don’t see or become complicit.Few humans are not evil, thus why the massive cult giving Trump and his kid rape regime unlimited power.
He never hid his relationship with Epstein or tried to downplay their obsession with young females. The powerful men who moved in the circle with Trump and Epstein didn’t try to hide their connections either.‘Cause they know Homo naziens is a raping devouring destroying species, with many rape friendly police, politicians and judges protecting them.It was all over the society pages.
Epstein, like Trump, seemed untouchable. New York City is a big city, but not that big. The rumours of his predilection for pedophilia and blackmail would have been known to the media, police and fellow party goers.
Rumours had it that he was protected because of ties to the Russian mob, Israeli intelligence, or because he simply had so much dirt on everyone. And still the rich and powerful came to his parties.with kid rape on their agendas.
When Jane Doe went to ground, nobody seemed interested in who threatened her or what happened to 12-year-old Marie. Nobody bothered to verify the story of Tiffany Doe, who had the job of picking up young girls at the bus station.
This manifest failure is enough to make you believe in conspiracies. And this is where the story gets so much darker.
The QAnon Storm
On the eve of Jane Doe’s press conference, Twitter exploded with online allegations that the New York City police had been covering up an extensive sex trafficking ring implicating the most powerful men in the country.
But this trafficking ring had nothing to do with Mar-a-Lago or Epstein’s mansion. This alleged sex trafficking ring was supposedly being run out of a pizza parlour in Washington for the benefit of the top Democrats and Liberals. “Pizzagate” may rank as one of the dumbest conspiracies ever, but it served its purpose.I know Canadian MAGAts who fell head over heels for Pizzagate, and still believe Trump is innocent, and that he’s Jesus, ridding the world of pedophiles. MAGAt rape loving minds have no defences to Trump’s propaganda
The origins lay in an online joke between young INCELs on 4Chan who were trolling through the stolen Democratic Party emails. The 4Chan army was poking fun at the many email conversations among democrat staffers about ordering pizza from the local Comet Ping Pong Pizzeria. The 4Chan trolls began to shit post that maybe all the talk about pizza and various toppings was metaphors for pedophilia.
But then this stupid joke was picked up and weaponized by the political right.
In the final week of the 2016 campaign, “pizzagate” exploded online. The notion that the Democrats and high-powered liberals were using a low-rent pizza parlour to traffic children was clearly ridiculous. But it didn’t matter.
“Pizzagate” allowed the right to drive online rage and conspiracy against Hilary Clinton while diverting attention from Trump’s obvious problems. Offshore bot operations in the Czech Republic, Cyprus and Vietnam heavily amplified the conspiracy.
Trump won the election, but the allegations against Epstein and Trump continued to grow. In response, the right-wing conspiracy narrative became bolder and darker.
In 2017, a series of anonymous posts from someone calling themself Q spun a bizarre story of Democrat child trafficking and how Donald Trump was secretly taking down the “deep state” to free the children.
It was nuts. But so was everything else in Trumpland.
The Trump White House actively promoted the QAnon conspiracy. Senior Republicans, such as Michael Flynn, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Lauren Boebert, went all in.
By 2022, the Q conspiracy was so embedded in the American political psyche that nearly 30% of Republican voters believed that Democrats were kidnapping and killing children while accepting the premise of Donald Trump as a stealth super hero protecting the children.
All the while, Trump continued to act out in plain sight.
It was as if Jane Doe never existed. And even today, as the Epstein scandal moves ever closer to the White House, the story of Jane Doe remains disappeared from public memory.
The one thing that future generations will ask themselves is how the many crimes of Donald Trump attracted so little response from all the people who had the job of holding such behaviour in check.
The girl in the champagne glass reminds us that Trump still thinks he is untouchable.That’s because he is, and Trump knows he is. He has “national security” and the most powerful gov’t in the world as his protectors, and human nature and man’s lust to rape are on his side, serving him well!
In Hiding in Plain Sight, author Sarah Kendzior writes about the failure of the media and political class to confront the abuses of Donald Trump. Of Jane Doe, she observes:
“In the 1990s, history ended with the spectre of the wealthiest men in the world raping teenage girls provided by a mafia-affiliated blackmailer.
History ended in a sealed file, history ended in a silent scream, history ended with the last man warning you that if you tell anyone, you’d end too.”

Brian Taylor:
Thanks, Charlie, for opening people’s eyes. I’m afraid I’m a terrible cynic on this topic. The Access Hollywood tape / ‘grab ’em by the pussy’ was public information and Americans elected Trump. E. Jean Carrol proved her case in court and Trump was adjudicated to be a rapist, and Americans elected him again. When the Democrats had power and the Republicans were screaming for the Epstein files to be released, they were not. When the Republicans took power, roles were reversed and still no files. I suspect that those files contain names of Democrats, Republicans, wealthy corporate donors, and maybe even a couple of Supreme Court justices.CJ Robert reportedly flew on Epstein’s Lolita Express The entire power structure stands to go to prison if it all comes out. It would be a French Revolution event. Except Trump will walk away. Everyone already knows he’s a depraved piece of scum, but they elected him anyway.Voting for sadist rapists like Trump allow the voters to let their rapes and sadism brazenly hang out, sans shame, and lets the women who married rapists feel like they married kings. Humans are an abusive, cruel, pathetic, cowardly, raping, disgusting species. Yes, there are some decent humans, but they do not fix our monstrous species. If there is a god, which I do not believe there is, he’s a pedophile.
It makes ICE raids, tariffs, East Wing demolition and government shutdown all look a bit inconsequential.
Ingamarie:
A grim possibility….but I’m leaning in your direction. Just one small addition: the contempt for women and the inconsequential nature of any of women’s sufferings is also apparent…..not only that. We have our own wealthy abusers in Canada as well…..
Epstein Emails Reveal “Bubba” Bombshell About Trump & Republicans Pretend It’s NBD by The Daily Show, Nov 17, 2025
“National Security” Blocks Epstein Files Release, The one word preventing transparency by Ken Klippenstein, Nov 17, 2025
When Congress votes tomorrow on a bill many think will pry loose the Jeffrey Epstein files, one glaring loophole will prevent full transparency. It’s called national security.
Not national security that has anything to do with the national defense or harm to the nation, but the self-serving kind that protects the system from the people by depriving them of information — in this case about Jeffrey Epstein, his 1,000+ victims according to the government, and any accomplices he had. With 89 percent of Americans in agreement that the Justice Department should release all information about Epstein(!), the message is clear: national security is more important than democracy.
Take a look at Congress’ long-shot attempt to force the release of the government’s records, led by Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie. A seemingly innocuous word appears in the resolution: “unclassified.”
Screenshot of Epstein Files Transparency Act
It is an official word that in theory only exists when it comes to national security matters; that is, that the release of such information could cause “harm” to the national security. (There is, of course, a small chance that some FBI methods relating to intelligence collection might officially qualify as “classified” because the release might expose certain capabilities of the government, but even there, I’d argue that the public has a right to know.)
And yet somehow the word made its way into the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
It’s the wrong word. The bill, after demanding that “No record shall be withheld, delayed or redacted on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary,” goes on to undermine all of that.
The bill says that if the Attorney General “makes a determination that covered information may not be declassified and made available in a manner that protects the national security of the United States, including methods or sources related to national security, the Attorney General shall release an unclassified summary for each of the redacted or withheld classified information.”
As in, the Attorney General would get to decide what to release and how to characterize it.
What?
Asked what their rationale was for including the “unclassified” word, neither Khanna nor Massie responded to a request for comment as of publication. It’s entirely possible that they (or their staffers and lawyers) didn’t even think about whether there were alternatives to using the language of national security, but it is more likely that the Justice and FBI liaison officers on the Hill helped craft acceptable language.
Asked by independent journalist Michael Tracey about a similar carveout for “national defense” information in earlier legislation back in September, Massie’s reply was basically that he had no choice.
Massie said:
“You have to put that in there if you’re going to get them to sign it … It’s not something I would sit and say, let’s put that in there. It’s something that, when you run the bill past other colleagues and say, ‘Can you sign this? In fact, can you get every Democrat to sign it?’ It’s one of the things that was felt was necessary to put in there.”
It all sounds procedural, but the resolution consequently falls prey to the national security doctrine that seems to be infecting every corner of American life. And Massie’s explanation gives a sense of how reflexively officials show deference to the logic of national security.
The truth is that the rich and powerful (including the FBI) are ultimately going to be protected from those who are clamoring for change. They aren’t hiding behind national security. They are national security.
The Epstein files released by the House Oversight Committee last week are dwarfed by the Justice Department and FBI’s over 300 gigabytes of information they say they’ve amassed from their review of all of their internal Epstein-related materials. Earlier this year, Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel said that their agencies had completed an “exhaustive review” of its holdings, an effort that reportedly involved over 1,000 FBI agents.
The Justice Department alluded to the sheer size of the effort in a press release, saying:
“Teams of agents, analysts, attorneys, and privacy and civil liberties experts combed through the digital and documentary evidence with the aim of providing as much information as possible to the public while simultaneously protecting victims.”
But they ended up releasing none of it. When pressed to explain why, Kash Patel gave the laughable excuse that “We’re not gonna re-victimize women.”
Though the 50-year-old Freedom of Information Act states that the federal government can’t withhold data from the public merely because it is embarrassing, in a 2021 lawsuit still pending where attorney Dan Novack sued for Epstein records, the FBI rattled off a long list of information it says it has but cannot disclose. That includes:
- “Names, Identifying Data and/or Information Provided by Individuals Under an Implied Assurance of Confidentiality”
- “Names, Identifying Data and/or Information Provided by Individuals Under an Express Assurance of Confidentiality”
- “Names and/or Identifying Information of Third Parties who Provided Information”
- “Names and/or Identifying Information of Third Parties of Investigative Interest”
- “Names and/or Identifying Information of FBI Special Agents”
- “Foreign Government Agency Information Under Implied Confidentiality”
- “Dates/Types of Investigations”
- “Collection/Analysis of Information”
- “Names and/or Identifying Information of Non-FBI Federal Government Personnel
- “Name and/or Identifying Information of Local Government Personnel”
- “Information Regarding Targets, Dates, and Scope of Surveillance”
The absurd lack of transparency by the government is a big reason for the prevalence of conspiracy theories. When the government is hiding something, people are naturally going to assume the worst.
Congress’ House Oversight Committee has had the most successful effort so far to force transparency, releasing some 20,000 pages of Epstein documents last week, largely records subpoenaed from Epstein’s estate. Yet here too lurks the specter of national security. The Oversight Committee was originally founded in 1927 for the purpose of overseeing the executive branch. But in 1991, Congress passed a law that gave up its power to oversee parts relating to national security.
“In rare circumstances, Congress has chosen to enact laws that limit its own ability to access specific types of information,” the Congressional Oversight Manual says. The manual adds that “commonly cited statutory restrictions on oversight…relate to foreign intelligence activities.”
Though Congress has generally interpreted executive privilege narrowly, national security is the big exception to that. It’s as if President Trump, or any president for that matter, has a panic button labeled national security.
Attorney General Pam Bondi explained back in March why the Epstein Files won’t be released. Asked by Fox News host Sean Hannity if anything besides victim information might need to be redacted, Bondi replied: “Of course, national security.”
Of course.
And so the word “unclassified” slipped into the resolution and nobody even questions the implications of including a national security term where it has no place. National security has become the dark matter of government: a substance that is everywhere around us and yet scarcely visible to anyone.
Tom:
I would argue that in fact this does impact national security…..Israel’s.And Israel rules USA, and owns Trump’s ugly criminal raping ass.
J. Rock:
I wonder how much this has to do with foreigners’ names being in the files. Epstein dealt with all kinds of people likely many of whom are in the arms trade or some such. How many other prominent Israelis are in there besides Ehud Barak?
Catherine:
I’m unaware of other Israelis, but Glenn Greenwald brought up something interesting on his podcast yesterday.
I guess Noam Chomsky and Lula (president of Brazil) were quite close.
Lula had been imprisoned on some bogus charges in Brazil.
Chomsky visited Lula in prison, and while there, Chomsky was on the phone with Epstein.
Glenn saw this info in some of the email dumps.
Who the heck was this Epstein guy?An evil greedy collector of kids to rape and connector of vile evil humans to rape those kids (for filming, photographing and blackmailing purposes).
Susan Becraft:
Congress is an arms dealer.Yup, that’s for sure. Carney’s Canada is too.
Joe:
“And so the word “unclassified” slipped into the resolution and nobody even questions the implications of including a national security term where it has no place.”
Also from Tracey’s piece that you linked:
“And it was Edwards who advised Massie and Khanna on crafting the language of their “Epstein Files” legislation. Which, let’s remember, does not provide for the full disclosure of “Epstein Files.” In fact, it expressly does the opposite. It carves out massive exceptions that allow the Attorney General, Pam Bondi, to continue concealing a huge cross-section of records in perpetuity, if she can claim the records somehow impinge on the “privacy” of purported victims (including Virginia Roberts Giuffre) — or if they somehow run afoul of US “national defense or foreign policy,” whatever the heck that means.”
In reference to Bradley Edwards, attorney for some of the victims.
Clif Brown:
I knew when Trump seemed to capitulate last night that there had to be an out.
Ok, American people, here is your chance to stand up and create an uproar such as we, at least those old enough, haven’t seen since the Vietnam War days. If there is anything that can put up in bright lights that we are not a country of political equals, but a country dedicated to protect the 1%, this is it. If there is not an uproar then we are truly unworthy to be called a democratic country and are a subservient obedient mass of consumers who exist to increase the wealth of the powerful few.That’s human nature, has always been so, and is one of the main reasons I refused to have kids. Why would I bring a child into this hideous kid-raping vicious human created system that uses the poor and ordinary to make the rich richer, more powerful and more evil? The only way to stop the hideousness of humanity and our destroying earth’s livability and wiping out endless other species, is to stop producing more hideous humans!
The litany of successes in the last 50 years of the 1% over we the people is very long, after every one of which we the people have been essentially supine. This tops everything that has come before. Will we be true to form? Will we stand for yet another slap in our faces?
Were Massie and Khanna truly courageous, they would have made this “out” known to all before allowing the bill to be presented. True national security has not been threatened since the arrest of Jonathan Pollard….
Has anyone seen news of this beyond Ken’s reporting? I suspect the answer is no.
Susan Becraft:
I’ll say it again. The Epstein files, in their entirety, will never see the light of day. By adding the word “unclassified”, Massie and Khanna gave the government an out. This is good stuff, Ken. Unfortunately, you confirm what I’ve been saying for years.
John Reynolds:
Come on, with all the crap the administration is hitting us with, they should at least entertain us with bare assed pics of Clinton, Trump and all the other peds and pervs running our country
Ken Klippenstein:
lmao
Helena Llera:
By inserting “unclassified” in the text, it protects the identity of foreign pedos, such as members of Saudi royal family or Russian governmentand the world’s pedo sanctuary – Israel.
Cécile Stelzer-Johnson:
For many years now, many countries have seen the United states as a promised land where they all wanted to live. This has given rise to a plethora of traffickers as young women and girls wanting to escape their condition have accepted what they thought was honest work as models only to be trafficked by unscrupulous jerks, like this Jean-Luc Brunel:
Jean-Luc Brunel, a French former modeling agent and associate of Jeffrey Epstein, was found dead in his Paris prison cell in February 2022 under circumstances officially ruled a “suicide” by hanging. His death in a high-security prison while awaiting trial on charges of rape and sex trafficking of minors generated significant public and media speculation, mirroring the circumstances of Epstein’s own prison death in 2019.
Can you see the common points with Epstein’s “suicide”?
I read the story in French and I was hit by the common points:
- Found hanging. Was about to have his day in court.
- He was held in a “vulnerable people area” of the prison, (because of several suicide attempts) where guards checked on inmates several times per night, but without cameras in his cell.
- The first allegations of sexual misconduct against Jean-Luc Brunel were made publicly in December 1988, in an interview on the CBS news magazine show 60 Minutes.
In a segment titled “American Girls In Paris,” several American models represented by Brunel accused him of pressuring them into sexual encounters or risking their careers. Two women alleged he drugged their drinks, and one stated she was raped under the influence of the drugs.
Despite the public allegations at the time, no formal criminal investigation was launched, and Brunel’s career continued to thrive for decades.
Virginia Giuffre testified against him.
It seems to me there is a pattern here. Was Jean-Luc Brunel the only purveyor of victims?
Considering the difficulty of obtaining a conviction in such cases, these 2 men chose suicide? That too does not tack: They could have been cleared…
While Maxwell is in prison, a number of other female “recruiters” were mentioned if you look at the Wiki on Jeffrey Epstein. That is an avenue that needs to be explored further.
