Another one:
Epstein is a convicted sex offender. They keep calling him, “disgraced Financier”
They dont want the other financiers tarred with the same brush, even though the capitalist scum deserve it.
I watched the first few hours of his interview that leaked. That man had a room temperature IQ. No one was asking him for financial advice.
Eh.
He wasn’t the kind of financier that handled accounts, he was the kind that had connections and when you needed a loan knew who could hook you up.
Of course, his real line of work was trafficking children.
I think it’s not that at all actually. If you listen to him, he doesn’t understand the first thing about finance. What he did with money was get rich people social connections to the anything from pedophilia to STD drugs to slip to your wife. His financial expertise began and end at blackmailing rich people while using their money to get them whatever fucked up thing they wanted.
his cover was that of, basically, a matchmaker for cash.
If Person A needed to finance a project, he had a Rolodex full of stupid rich assholes he could then match them with and get the financing for the project.
And yes. his real “job” was to set people up with children or whatever else they wanted - and then black mail the ever living shit out of them.
That is not what he did. He was a financial manager who was paid by billionaires (literally, exclusively billionaires) to hide money in tax shelters.
This is the one that pissed me off the most.
Dude ran a fucking ultra elaborate sex trafficking scheme and they label him the same way they would someone caught doing a petty crime.
They should just call him “typical rich guy”
Don’t want to risk missing out on precious clicks and shares due to keyword-sensitive advertiser friendliness algorithms.
That could be part of it. But the main reason is the same as what we saw during the manufacturing of consent for the Palestinian Genocide.
Israeli Citizens Slaughtered by Hamas
54 Palestinians dead after Israeli targeted strike of Hamas leaders
Palestinians “die” in news headlines. Israelis are slaughtered.
It got as bad as media giving us headlines of “Israeli hostage kidnapped from tank”. Not even kidding. They labeled an IDF soldier in a tank as a kidnapped hostage. We have a word for that already: prisoner of war.
Once you notice this type of passive language used to describe the crimes of who the US government supports vs. who it sees as an enemy. Man, you’ll start to go crazy at noticing how much it’s used.
Journalist and talking heads on TV are told exactly what vocabulary to use when covering a specific topic. It’s more directed at the interest of those in power and those with wealth than it is to fit an algorithm.
I mean, the people directing the vocabulary are the same group of people that ensure that algorithm favors them. They allow very extreme vocabulary like “rape” or “beheadings” through their filters when they want to lie about something that favors their narrative.

The “news” is the same people as the accused. It’s all the ultra wealthy ruling class. They are also destroying the environment with fossil fuels, buying up livable property and jacking up the rates, shorting water stocks and such, etc.
Their time may be up soon, but I want to see them rot in prison, not the other option, because that’ll be way more chaotic and could lead to worse outcomes.
There is no prison for billionaires. Look at New York v. Trump. The only way to fix this mess is a revolution, AKA civil war.
Revolutions and civil war have a nasty habit of not going the way you want them to go. Even the French Revolution was coopted by Napoleon and turned into a monarchy.
That’s the sad thing about revolutions, really. They pretty much happen when people don’t have any other options anymore - so what can they do, but to revolt, even if it leads to an another shitty situation? At least with trying there’s the possibility of things changing for the better, while allowing the status quo to continue it will only get worse
Nah, that’s an edgy chronically online 14 year old’s opinion. We likely won’t be able to just vote ourselves out of this mess, but you have no idea what you’re talking about with revolution and civil war. Stop playing Call of Duty and actually go outside.
You’re the smartest one here so what’s going to happen if not democracy and not war?
Yall are glowing lol
“Adolescent women” to refer to a 13 year old was used in that one witness account of the women who worked as a recruiter for his parties.
Distorsión of reality by linguistic manipulation.
This is straight out of 1984 book:
In the novel, “Newspeak” wasn’t just about being concise; it was designed to shrink the vocabulary so much that “heretical” thoughts became literally impossible because the words for them no longer existed.
Here is a breakdown of how linguistic manipulation distorts reality, both in the book and in our world:
1. The Erasure of Nuance
In 1984, if you wanted to say something was “terrible,” you just said it was ungood.
By removing “bad,” “terrible,” and “horrific,” the emotional weight of the experience is flattened.
- The Result: When we lose specific words for our feelings or experiences, our ability to think critically about those experiences atrophies.
Ungood is very similar to “unalived”…
What a coincidence…
They took a literary warning about totalitarian regimes and used it as manual to implement a totalitarian regime.
It would be laughable if it wasn’t so dangerous.
Classic Torment Nexus stuff.
You could say doubleplusungood.
Which is cumbersome and sounds too clinical to convey the same gravity
is this made to look like it was written by “ai” as a sort of ironic joke, or did you actually use an llm to write your thoughts for you on how powerful people controlling the language we use is dangerous?
Yes!
The minimization is CRAZY. Like people are saying “Oh, no, he didn’t rape the kid he just had sex with her.” Like the child CONSENTED to it. Sex, by definition, is engaging in sexual pleasure with both persons consent.
Our country that was fought for by thousands of soldiers, many whom died for this land, so we could have freedom and a break away from the king of Britain. He was a dictator, and now we are in the company of one such other dictator. A rat, who gained entry only by his father’s money and influence. Who used that influence and abused it, who corrupted young minds and brainwashed people to believe that he was doing good.
That he was making America great again.
When the only thing he did for us was give us empty promises, and shoved us down the path of an emptier future.

They’re just extending to elite men almost the same level of rhetorical gentleness that is typically directed at women sexually assaulting boys. It’s only “almost” because they aren’t also playing up how attractive these men are like they tend to when a woman sexually assaults a boy.
I understand that sexual assault is committed by both genders.
Yeah, but the level of minimization is par the course for women offenders and only treated as completely crazy because it’s men doing it. Any time there’s a media story about a woman sexually assaulting a boy they try to find glam shots of her, refer to it as an “affair” or “romp” and make at least two references to how attractive she is. It’s just such a radical difference in coverage and reaction it needs pointed out.
Have you checked who owns big media corporations? 🤔
People who rape children.
At this point it’s on the wealthy to prove they aren’t child rapists. Epstein is just one of many and there is zero reason to assume others like him are not still operating.
They also own big troll farms manufacturing consent.
There’s a reason most social media is as opaque (algorithms, moderation et.al) as they can be.
These media corporations and troll farms work together to push a subtle narrative manufactured by their handlers.
X.com? Supporting the abusers, i see.
Ignoring the substance of the post to whine about where it was posted, very interesting
I mean the owner of X
- Has made significant contributions to those in power that are hiding the contents of the Epstein files.
- IS IN SAID FILES
I don’t think it’s an inappropriate callout.
very interesting
In principle, I agree.
Reaching out to the people who haven’t moved on from the captured platforms, however, still has the potential to do good. If a large population is only or almost only using Twitter, then the message never reaches them if no one on Twitter is saying it. Of course, the algorithm will do what it can to minimize such voices, but a small amount of message saturation is more than none.
More like the people that own these news companies are also in the files and tweaking the narrative as a result. Something something follow the money something
“Underage female”. I’ll never forget this. He was a serial child rapist, to start with.
The media machine is complicit with the state. Always has been.
🎼 Some of those who work newsrooms
Are the same who rape kiddos
SHILLING IN THE NAME OF! 🎶
To actually answer the question:
Because most of the old media functionally has the CIA as an editorial board.
Immensely ironically, we know a lot about that because of Noam Chomsky.
Who… is also in the Epstein files.
Quite a lot.
Yeah, it wasn’t just the right wing of the country that has been existing in a constructed media hyperreality, it has also been the left wing of the country.
Immensely ironically, we know a lot about that because of Noam Chomsky.
Limited hangout.
Which questions are not asked because Chomsky already gave many answers?
What does Chomsky knowing Epstein have to do with anything?
They kind of just explained that… Chomsky is famous for writing about manufacturing consent, which is exactly what the media is doing here.
Yeah, thank you.
Chomsky functionally was the primary whistleblower on how the media in the US gets routinely manipulated by intelligence agencies…
… and its now pretty clear that he got folded in, to being part of that the system that does that.
Because the news is largely owned by the oligarchy.
How the fuck was I your first upvote? You’re spitting pure fact. Our MSM “news” is mostly owned by right-wing billionaires AKA oligarchs.
lol, stfu.
Owned by Disney conglomerate which is paid into heavily by politicians.
What’s even more fucked is just how personally responsible Epstein is to the modern right wing movement. While online Nazis and crass as fuck assholes were common, the way how they became such a concerted and active and effective politicial movement was done entirely through Epstein motivated and funded shit.
You know how so many major gaming channels always make a ton of right wing advocacy? Their money and funding came from the motherfucker and his network.
I remember when online gaming channels were AVGN type fun stuff. Either with retro or with modern games.
