Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Arrested For Sex Trafficking of Minors
- Thread starter GrapeApes
- Start date
There was nothing really to talk about until we got some new news. Which it appears will be today.
America is pre-revolutionary France. Our oligarchy is out of control and must be brought to heel.
"Judge Berman just told the court he does not intend to reach a decision today on whether Epstein will be released. "
LOL
Imagine trying to prove he's done nothing wrong for 14 years...and the prosecutors are like... "We literally just pulled child porn from your house."
They are still talking about Epstein on the cable news shows (CNN, MSNBC,...) and right now, GMA (literally the story is on RIGHT NOW!)

This might be like the Panama Papers. Where it actually led up to things being changed, people being accounted for etc. All things happening in background but public assumes nothing happened after story broke out. Really hoping this guy comes out with names and such, but I don't know anything about his life in terms of family. I'm assuming he has a family and he would put them all at risk for exposing names, ugh. I hope there is a competent agency using found evidence to find others guilty.
Berman is a Clinton appointee by the way. So I'm faintly optimistic that we're not going to see Judge Ellis-style fuckery at this trial like at the first Manafort trial.
Stanley Kubrick didn't get his inspiration from a vacuum. He was clearly in-the-know and the movie was a stark warning. 90% of the content went over the heads of casual viewers b/c who would believe that well-known people actually do these sort of things? This case is providing the tiniest glimpse into that horrifying aspect of this world. I personally think that most of society wouldn't be able to handle knowing just how deep and dark this goes ; it would be world-changing, that's for sure.

They'll pay *anything* to get him out because he'll fly.
He has assets the courts can't reach that generate $10 million in passive income per year.
Eyes Wide Shut did involve children too (costume shop owner's daughter), and there was a lot of footage that might have been more explicitly referring to things like children being at the Masked Ball that was removed from the final cut and destroyed after his death (of supposedly natural causes).
Very final scene shows Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman forgetting about their child as two older men walk off with her.
Many of his movies examined the awful things that people in power do.
Stuff like MK Ultra is alluded to in the likes of A Clockwork Orange and Full Metal Jacket. The Shining draws on Native American Genocide and child abuse.
Offer him bail for a complete list of all his business dealings, and the names of all his "clients".
....but the list and an interview discussing all his dealings has to come before bail is set.
Once he provides the list, set bail at 10 Trillion dollars, payable in full up front.
That final scene was amazing, and that detail you mention is missed by almost everyone ----- one of the most haunting endings to a film, once you realize it and understand how closely it captures real-life high-level trafficking.
I heard a few other theories that it's two men that were at Ziegler's party who take her, or that it's the organisation exacting revenge on Cruise for not being able to just stay out, or even that Kidman was in on it and that's why she's distracting Tom.
I need to watch it again and take notes.
Yeah, doubt Kidman's character was involved, but it's likely the same men at Ziegler's party. I interpret it as both a revenge act as well as something that the group does anyway (kidnapping/trafficking children) and that Cruise's child in the movie got marked b/c of how deep Cruise went into their society.
Can't help but think dudes in suits just walk into evidence and take any dodgy stuff that might incriminate rich and powerful people. Can you imagine it's blackmail tapes, photos. Would they really be hands off.
I wonder were he got his money from, cost for access.

"supposedly"?
You left out the Minotaur and the moon landing.
Got a decent source on that? I can only find conspiracy websites.
Buzzfeed came out with an article the other day about how Epstein received an Iranian townhouse seized by the government and then got sued by them when he tried to make money off of it:
Shit is bizarre. And shows how connected he's been for decades now.

If he gets bail you bet your ass he runs. Also a bail hearing for a person who was caught with child porn, wtf.
Hearing at 11:30 am.
MH: Leaked documents show Jeffrey Epstein kept funds offshore. Can the money even be tracked?

Epstein's lawyer has offered further explanation of the foreign passport, saying it was given to him "by a friend." Lawyer also says Epstein is a citizen only of the United States.

But coupled with the fact that many of his businesses were operated in or with help from Caribbean offshore tax havens, the documents raise the likelihood that Epstein's wealth is spread secretly across the globe. Wealthy people commonly employ opaque offshore companies to mask their true fortunes from tax authorities and creditors, although the companies also have legitimate business and tax-planning uses.
LOL a friend gave me the passport because of my Jewish name? I want to know both how these excuses are devised and who suggests them. I wonder if his lawyers are like "Well Jeff, is there ANY possibility a friend gave you the passport?" Epstein: "Umm no, oh wait, oooohhh! Yeah! That's right I forgot a friend gave it to me."
Come on, Epstein. Give us whatever you have on Trump and we'll give you prison for the rest of your life instead of....erm..... SUPER PRISON !!
It would not surprise me if Epstein was in the intelligence community. He seems more powerful than the '16 news stories let on.

Berman:
"I find that the government has established danger to others and to the community by clear and convincing evidence," he says, also finding risk of flight by "preponderance of the evidence."
"I doubt that any bail package can overcome danger to the community."
Berman cites testimony of Annie Farmer and Courtney Wild in supporting his ruling.
Berman also cites evidence of intimidation and evidence of Epstein missing sex-offender check-ins.
He also cites "sexually explicit photos" and "expired Austrian passport" with Epstein's photo, not his name, and a Saudi residence.
