Analyst says interest in Epstein files plummeted after war on Iran launched

7h 41m ago by piefed.social/u/ExtremeDullard in politics from www.aljazeera.com

Republican US Congressman Thomas Massie has said the war ‘won’t make the Epstein files go away’.

In case you had any doubt what this whole Iran affair is really about...

When the United States fakes an attack on US soil by Iran, Trump will be able to declare martial law without pushback. Once he has that kind of control he will destroy the Epstein files permanently. He will also never give up martial law and will become a dictator that will pass on to other dictators for the next hundred years. This is the future of the United States of America unless the man is taken care of.

The worst of it is already gone if I had to guess. When the FBI got hacked it lost 100TB of data relating to the investigation. 100TB ain't gonna be emails, that's media.

People don’t lose data from being hacked. The FBI has backups of backups. Even I can’t “lose a file” if I tried because everything I do has very basic consumer level backups. If they “lost” something, it was destroyed internally… and even still there’s probably a copy.

Ten bucks says he declares Marshal Law instead.

I’m not taking that bet. I don’t like to lose money hahahah.

My guess is he does it in October before the midterms so he can hassle voters or cancel elections.

With the USPS timestamps, SAVE act, etc there’s just no way the election is going to be fair.

The USA is dead. The fall of the USSR is going to look like utopia.

The fall of the USSR

Party for one!

Oh geez, yes I lost the tread. As you were.

Martial law

That is the joke.

That's why it is important to make everyone you know expect it. If enough people don't get fooled, then this won't work.

I'm actually worried about 4th of July. Fascists love dates and numbers and it is 250 anniversary of US.

I dunno. Trump doesn’t give a shit about historic dates. My bet is October. If you’re not out of the country by then, you’re never getting out.

He might rename it "Fourth of Trumply"

Not saying he wouldn't, but isn't Marshal Law part of the insurrection act? In any case, a foreign attack on a nation shouldn't be justification enough for an action of internal oppression. Again, I'm talking about a rational administration, here, not an autocratic dictatorship.

The United States government knew about Pearl Harbor, and they let it happen to get Into World War II. This led to Japanese internment camps inside the United States, which I would argue Is internal oppression. There is good evidence, that you can go find yourself, that The United States let 9/11 happen. This led to the patriot act, and an entire war.

Martial law is not part of the insurrection act. That is a different thing, with similar talking points.

Declaring martial law or using anything in the insurrection act to take over the local governments would not be marketed as oppression. And if no one says oppression, then it can’t be oppression (According to the government).

I think that if Donald Trump is willing to bypass Congress to go to war, he’s willing to break any rule in the book. The rules no longer apply and the only reason he hasn’t tried to take over local governments is because no one is standing up to him yet. He gets away with everything. He may be a few cards short of a full deck, but he’s not dumb. He knows if you don’t have a problem, don’t make one. The United States citizens are not a problem for him.

Had me until

but he’s not dumb.

If he’s dumb, then he’s just really really Lucky.

It’s called being born into wealth.

You just get good at using your wealth to avoid accountability. It doesn’t take intelligence to not pay contractors cause you keep getting away with it your whole life.

There is strong evidence that he basically got saved by Russian money.

So yes, being so lucky to be born into wealth and also sociopathic enough to do whatever it takes like betraying your own country.

What I find extremely obscene is that he doesn’t have talent, skill, knowledge, training, or experience.

It’s just money. Dirty old money.

All you need to break EVERY rule in the book is...MONEY.

Being intelligent and being not dumb are not the same thing.

He knows he doesn’t need to roll tanks down Main Street USA, because people in the USA refuse to stand up to the government in any meaningful way.

I guess we have different definitions of dumb.

Like there are reports that he was the dumbest student in many classes.

Remember the basic “intelligence” test he took and he kept bragging about the results?

Book smarts and street smarts and the money to pay people to fix shit.

I don't think this is even true. It is more that media (owned by the same elites) can temporarily escape to Iran so they report it.

Meanwhile the records about victim's interview that they were hiding were released and they look quite bad.

It could just be an added benefit...

Yes. Operation Epstein Fury.

Also Operation Energy Fluffer, the saviour of Russia's war budget.

It’s about Israel, one way or another.

It's about Netty-bo yanking on Trump's leash.

this isn't our war. it's Netanyahu's. (and maybe the Saudis, too.)

My interest hasn’t plummeted, I just haven’t been reading as many news articles about it because there hasn’t been as many.

Please tell me this report isn’t that fucking stupid

Interest from mainstream journalists, obviously, duh

lol reddit already censored that link

It was posted to /r/pics - which has rules against posting political content

what kind of twisted fuckwit thinks child rape is a political position?

Has Trump in the title. It was auto modded

so?

it's not political content when the person actually was friends with a child rapist.

there's nothing political about the fact that he hung around with pedos and traffickers. in fact I'd assert it's political censorship of the worst kind to hide stories talking about this connection.

It's children being raped, not the heritage foundation view on taxation. That's politics.

Also, simping for reddit much?

I'm just telling you why it was removed. No mod besides a filter bot was involved

Why did they censor it?

In shocking news: people read fewer articles about a subject when the articles aren’t available!

mission accomplished

I mean nope. just because a mountain range overshadows a single mountain in it does not mean it disapears.

That is what main stream media (owned by the billionaires licking between Shitler's toes) WANTS you to think. They WANT you to stop talking about it.

Don't fall for their bullshit.

KEEP TALKING ABOUT IT AND DON'T LET UP!

Where are the TRUMPSTEIN FILES! Release the TRUMPSTEIN FILES! Prove you didn't rape children, didn't EAT CHILDREN and have them killed! If you didn't do it, you should be happy to show that you didn't fucking do it.

Forgive me for not believing one unaccountable analyst. I still see and hear people talking about the files all around me constantly.

No the fuck it has not

The Iran War, [what would famously be known as the Epstein War,] began at the most convenient time possible for the PedophileOTUS. The name fits, arguably better than Microslop.

Yes the fuck it has, and really it was the inevitable result. This is not just a spontaneous development, this is the result of decades of moral and financial corruption. We would like to absolve ourselves of complicity but the reality is that each American, in their own small way, has contributed to the systemic corruption we all suffer from. It’s a difficult thing. Many of us, most of us suffer disproportionately to the aristocracy, yet we carry on, and we let them continue with their schemes. We could easily topple them, wrestle the levers of power from their wretched, traitorous hands, but we don’t.

No it didn't. The media has an excuse to ignore it more.

There are a lot of people committed to making sure it won't go away. https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1fXqBioUq-OtShq6IRzeU_k2ZDjir-agb

What are you linking to here? Curious, but not enough to click a tracking packed google link

I'm linking to a file called epstein_victim_reports.pdf. Produced by someone I follow on Pixelfed. They and others, posting mostly on reddit, have been using search tools to go thru what has been released, and documenting their findings.

You make a good point. How do I link a .pdf? Seems I can't just drop it on the comment above. I should be able to UL it to my server, and give a link to that, I suppose. I've ul'd the file, but the share link is not anonymous, and I don't wish to draw undue attention to the server, as it is run by an associate. How to do I share that file anonymously? I'm happy to do this better, but don't know how.

editted.

catbox.moe is a popular host around here, mega.io has been my go to for a while. https://epsteinexposed.com/ isn't hosting, but a resource you might appreciate. Thanks for sharing whatever you can however you can, don't mean to be critical

I was just sharing something that another fediverse user has shared from their own research. And hey, I can take criticism; it was quite reasonable to be suspect of a google link. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Sometimes I get unreasonably over enthusiastic. :-D

Not sure how long it'll stay there though.

If this is true his distraction really worked. But thanks to Kimmel and Colbert, they keep on reminding the public that watch them. Every night. 😁

Sounds like a mighty big cover up, 10-4.

I will always be interested in and never forget what started the Epstein War in Iran.

Thank you. I'm saving your comment for reference.

how the fuck did this just go away?

I still see posts all over the internet every day about the files. I think it's also that there hasn't been any new files or revelations since the Iran war started except for that dump yesterday. It's not that there's less interest, it's that those that are intensely interested are either still going through them or waiting for the next big thing like when (former) prince Andrew was arrested. I'm sure as soon as the next big thing comes up it'll jump right back up. And I'm sure in that same week the war will escalate. It's just a big tug o' war on our attention spans.

removed by mods. what was it?

Why, it's almost like it was intentionally timed to do just that!

Operation Epstein Fury

Mission accomplished!

Nice try, Diddy

I was just reading through a couple thousands of the financial statements and reports and scans from 10. Kinda interesting stuff seeing how millionaires manage their finances, private jets, and properties.

Americans never did have much of an attention span
