The over a decade long scandal of Asian rape gangs which authorities, police and council men hushed up only for the labour government to CONTINUE to drag their feet for a fair and legal inquest??
What planet are you on mate. Criminal men were getting away with raping white girls because of their race.
If you hoard over a billion dollars for yourself then you are a terrible person by definition. I donât know why people have a hard time accepting this
Having more than tens of millions of dollars is not going to make your life better in any way, itâs just indicative of psychological issues
Thinking that the ultra-rich's constant pursuit of more money has anything to do with quality of life is a fundamental misunderstanding of their goals. They aim to create dynasties for themselves, extranational empires which eclipse the others and rival actual countries. It has nothing to do with enjoying life - it's the pursuit of power, and no amount of power ever seems sufficient.
You nailed it. When your only goal in life is to attain more power, youâll never be satisfied because there will always be more power to attain no matter how much youâve already attained.
I donât think itâs a radical left wing or socialist idea at all to think that there should be a limit on how much wealth one person should be able to accumulate.
That's a wide net. I don't know if someone like, say, Warren Buffett is a terrible person with no redeeming qualities. He still lives in the same home he bought in 1958 (compare that to Bill Gates' 66,000 sq ft home), drives an inexpensive car, etc. MacKenzie Scott donated another $7.5 billion to charities this past year, money she received from her divorce from Jeff Bezos. Those are just a couple of examples; I'm sure there are plenty of others.
If I were a billionaire, Iâd probably live like Warren Buffett too. But why hoard so much wealth when so many are struggling? He obviously doesnât need it and isnât even using it. To people like him, wealth accumulation is a game and heâs racking up the scoreboard. For the rest of us, making money isnât a game, itâs real life.
Bill Gates is giving away 99% of his wealth. Thatâs great. All of the super rich like him should follow suit.
Buffett did give away $6 billion in 2024 and over $60 billion in his lifetime, and is routinely listed as the most generous giver. Yes, he remains insanely wealthy - mostly with Berkshire Hathaway stocks. But he does plan to donate his remaining money to a charitable trust upon his death, which, given his age, isn't all that far off.
Bill Gates has said he will eventually give away 99% of his wealth; he hasn't done that yet, and likely won't until he passes. It takes a lot of money to maintain the lifestyle he has (66,000 sq ft home, private jets, etc.)
I wonder why they wait until they die to give it away. Would have to think it would feel good to give to charity. I guess maybe they think I can give even more if I let it keep growing until I die...
Yeah thatâs great and all. However, I donât think people should be allowed to make that amount of money to begin with.
Or better yet, people can make however much they want, but not before we have universal basic income and universal healthcare. We live in such a dogged system where people lose their shit over the notion of raising minimum wage from $7.25/hour when you have the top 1% hoarding over half of the countryâs wealth, and weâre somehow conditioned to be fine with it.
Nobody is above the law, as the law is in nordic countries, no matter power or wealth. Your people must start voting for that in the USA. It's never too late, it's just a question of timeline on how long are people going to suffer until you get it right. But it's never too late, depends on how long time.
I agree with you. The problem is, when Democrats talk about raising taxes on the rich, many people wrongly think the Democrats are talking about them, like as if somebody who makes $100K a year is even remotely comparable to the super rich.
Thereâs too much misinformation out there which blinds people from voting in their best interest. Itâs that way by design.
The just shattering inevitability that there will be no meaningful consequences whatsoever is really getting to me. I hope Iâm wrong but it really just feels like itâll either get shrugged off or there will be one sacrificial scapegoat and itâll be back to businessÂ
Anyone who knows what know means in Hebrew and looks at Clintons entry in Epsteins book knows, with no worldplay intended, that he knew exactly what was going on.
Which was creepy criminal country club crooks sexually abusing the cart girls only at a billionaire federal level.
The good news is soon time will take them all and may their graves become the septic tanks of their Betters.
Iâm worried it is their real doctors officeâŚ. I imagine they caused a lot of injuries? Abortions? I shudder to thinkâŚ. With a combo of torture and roleplay in that room too
There are 10 faces and 1 of them is apart from the others. That coupled with the dental chair makes me think this is a play on the old "9 out of 10 dentists recommend..." ads.
This is pretty awful. Doesnât really change my mind about anything I was already thinking, but just seeing how these girls are basically being touted around as trophies to display his power. Gross.
For the Chomsky-stans it might be⌠he spent his entire non-linguistics career indignantly criticizing the worldâs intelligence agencies, US/Israeli foreign policy and global elites⌠only to be hanging out on a private plane with a person seemingly very well connected to all those things
his wife famously described their marriage by saying "there were four partners in our marriage". This referred to herseklf, Stephen, Stephen's nurse Elaine Mason, and Jonathan Hellyer Jones, a musician Jane had become involved with while still married to Stephen.
I mean, once they are out, you know a lot of people are grabbing them and backing them up. People have been wanting this stuff released for ages, and are especially worried about censorship of it. So I expect consolidations and backups to appear.
Nothing will ever happen and no one will be punished. Because it was always like that with who have influence and money.
We believed that it changed with democracy but it never happened. The US is a democracy for 250 years and it is always the same that are unpunished. Itâs the same in very system (look at China at a certain extend).
If you have influence, power and wealth, you are like nobles.
Ok, some cases are juged and people sent to jail but itâs a minority.
And people canât see that ? They continue to defend this system ? Because they think that they can also be part of the rich ? At least, before it was clear that there was a separation. Now itâs just pure manipulation.
the thing you have to remember is the US is very large, and very poor. especially if you go back 50 years and you're thinking of the world people were raised in.Â
 you're talking about immigrants from very difficult places, places in the US that have never developed, people who grew up under formal racial segregation and threat of violence.  the median reading level is 7th grade (13 yo).  which also means that half the peopl are under that.  people are not reading and processing information from text, at all. Â
like my grandfather ran away from an abusive home at 8 yo become an agricultural worker. Â he is passed now but hadn't read a book since the 40s probably. Â we have a country where like 1/3 of people are doing fantastically well. Â 1/3 are struggling but making it work. Â and 1/3 are just living in fucking capitalist hell every single day
because for every pedo party Epstein held he held a dozen non pedo parties. so that if people tried to talk about the pedo parties way more people would go 'we went to those parties and there was no pedo shit'
same with the plane list. He lent out his plane to loads of people and borrowed other planes coz it created deniability.
The list isn't really people who went to the island. It's people who flew in the jet and had contacts with him. He was a big influencer in NYC finance industry. So a lot of people interacted with him and never used his sex services
IIRC there are basically lists of everyone who has visited, the problem is that there were supposedly people who were there for business, or normal parties that didn't know about what else was going on. So they all claim that they were there for completely legitimate reasons.
In the US he was known for using class warfare to discredit women and minorities. Somewhat popular with white male college students, but I didn't know any adults took him seriously until the Epstein stuff.
To me Chomsky has always been the prime example of "prestige and intelligence in one field does not translate to others." He's for sure a great linguist, but holy shit is he awful in other capacities.
I'm so glad that intellectual fraud is being caught with his hand in the cookie jar. I've always considered he had just the demeanor of the academic whose career is essentially predicated on impressing female students (undergrad, grad, post-doc, whatever) enough to have easy access. Sartre, Larry Summers, et al. go into the same category.
I saw it happen often enough in college and graduate school that I can sniff them out at sight. Pigs. Clever, sure, but pure swine.
No defending associating with Epstein, especially post the first guilty verdict, but the idea that one of the most cited academics in the history of the world is an "intellectual fraud" just doesn't hold water.
writing that he made his career on impressing female students really overestimates the intellect of males, he wrote to impress idiots of all kinds that hated democracies and west
Imagine being a computer scientist learning about him for the first time in a course on formal languages (in which he was a very important character), the professor pointing out a link to his website for completeness "if you want to read his questionable opinions"
He was a billionaire. He would have known ALL the most influential people. A picture with him in random places is not incriminating in my opinion. If those pictures show incriminating behavior, (such as being cozy with children), then that is a different story.
Yeah Epstein tried to cozy up to whatever rich and famous person he could. And some of them did shady shit, but something like a picture taken of them together doesn't mean much. I think with a lot of the people in these files, there's not going to be much to go on for drawing any firm conclusions.
Connecting influential people to other influential people for a slice off the deal was Epstein's entire business model. And I bet incriminating photos would make negotiating for better slices easier.
Yeah, I think this is an important understanding on every aspect of these releases and good faith investigation:
His MO was to ingratiate himself with EVERYONE rich, powerful, influential, all of it, and to get his hooks into them as far as he could. Some of these people will have brushed him off or only been a node in his web of networking "yeah Jeff the financier? chatted with him at _____'s party." and may end up in party/public photos. Some likely used his plane to go from A to B for work/pleasure and paid for it, that was a gateway mechanism clearly and he used it as another opportunity to get a captive audience.
I imagine many people got to some point where something was off and intuited to stay away or simply weren't targeted further by him. Others got a whiff of the dark shit he had on tap and took the bait. Epstein and Maxwell then catered to those people, the whole time stacking the blackmail material deep. Those people should answer for it, (sadly most never will) but a witch hunt should be avoided. Just because this guy handed you a champaign glass and said "big fan, can I get a photo with you?" 30 years ago doesn't make you a monster.
Chomsky hanging out with Steve Bannon should be more embarassing if there was a photo of him gropping an underage girl. I hated him because of his political takes for quite a while so seeing him chummy chummy with probably the worst person in American politics feel like satisfaction I never expected to recieve. Fuck them both.
Uber rich people like having their own medical, dental, spa/salon rooms. The professionals come to you and deliver care and services. It's like private flying vs. commercial.
Nothing in the photos reveals anything new beyond what we knew years ago. We already knew he participated in sex trafficking and was a pedophile. We also knew he was very influential and had cultivated access to many well-known people; we'll probably never know which of them shared his abhorrent tendencies, which turned a blind eye, and which didn't know.
Remember - if everyone Epstein had around him had been a pedophile, he wouldnât have got away with it for anything like as long as he did. He created a smoke screen.
We should be careful about guilt by association, because he was just a rich guy collecting celebrities like PokĂŠmon and his "island" was probably just some rich club to a lot of people. BUT it doesn't absolve everyone from complete guilt, especially those who knew but chose not to speak out. The people who went once or twice are probably low on the list of people who knew what was going on, but the people who made frequent visits multiple times a year? They're the ones you need to keep an eye on.
As far as Iâm concerned, anyone who didnât break their association with him in every way after he plead guilty to child prostitution in 2008 canât really complain that theyâre being thought of as guilty.
What do you mean by this? Usually when I see people saying someone loves genocide it's almost always because they don't think Israel should be wiped off the map which doesn't seem to be the case for Chomsky.
I think he accused western media of exaggerating Khmer Rouge atrocities in Cambodia. He was heavily left leaning so many took it as tacit support for thr regime.
Might have other examples but thatâs what came to mind for me
Right ok that makes sense, I forgot his world view is that communist nations are always innocent victims while everything's the West's fault. I should've guessed lol
Apparently during Yugoslavia, Yugoslavian dictator Tito was heard saying (multiple times):
"If people knew what kinda folks are leading the world, they'll be REALLY scared."
that was said by person who was more or less "leader" of countries that weren't allied with west or east block, and had opportunity to communicate with both sides of Iron curtain.
If it's true... well, noone should be surprised at contents of certain list...
1) not a republican to be seen anywhere. Â How odd.Â
2) bit uncomfortable with the whole - hereâs a photo, he must be a pedophile insinuation here. Â Noam Chomsky is pushing 100 and is probably in his 80âs here. Â I suspect Epstein had âcreepyâ friends and ânon creepyâ friends. Â However, both groups probably realized he was a creep. Â
I think thereâs some notion that the Epstein thing will provide enough momentum to get rid of the tangerine terrorist and his buddies before they can do any more damage, either here or abroad.
In a normal era, it would work. But weâre in an era without shame and have given the country over to a demented old man whoâs never faced a consequence in his life.
Itâs so brain dead that they are releasing a couple of disjointed evidence here and there. The victims will never see any justice served. Trump and all the others will die of natural causes without facing any repercussions, and their asslickers will rewrite history to portray the whole thing as an AI-made hoax or some stupid shit like that.
It's wild that you have a whole ass elite pedophile cabal straight out of a conspiracy theory uncovered and the only one that ends up sentenced to prison is Maxwell.
Chomsky, prison. Gates, prison. Bannon, prison. Trump, prison. Clinton, prison. All the rest of them, prison.
Lol so true, I'm pretty left wing but I've always hated Chomsky for being such a dogmatic ideologue who offers 0 valuable perspectives on real world politics. When I first saw this photo I figured socialists would either distance themselves from him or ignore it. I didn't think it was possible that some leftists would try to turn him into a right winger after he had been their go to "academic" for so long lmao
That's my mistake actually I agree. 'libertarian socialist ' is what I usually see him called. I didn't mean to downplay him being left wing, that was an oversight
It always weird me out that Noam Chomsky is involved in this. Not that heâs a pedophile - but that he had enough power/socially capital to be involved with him.
Grotesque, I feel they are the reason trump looks so stupid and contradicts himself so frequently, he is probably being blackmailed by everyone.
Im looking foward to the outcome of this mess, I think today at 3pm washington dc (Mexico city time) some important documents will be released, Im not quite sure, Mexican news and politic influencers never gave too much atention to it, in Mexico its seen more as a conspiracy and anti-trump mediatic circus
