So much focus on the idea that the ICE crackdown is a distraction from the Epstein files makes me wonder if it isn’t the other way around-get people to focus on the idea of a cover up that they don’t resist a fascist takeover as effectively as they otherwise might.

    The files are a distraction from themselves.

    Everybody is worried about which powerful people will be embarrassed. Nobody is asking: does this sort of thing still go on? Or How can we prevent billionaires from snatching teenagers off the streets?

    Because our society only pretends to care about the victims of sexual abuse. We talk about how we hate rapists and pedophiles, but our actions betray the truth.

      I’m inclined to believe Epstein was working for Israel and he’s not the only agent doing this… they’re not gonna only have one “employee”…
