Other Epstein victims credited Giuffre with giving them the courage to speak out.

    The last minute transfer of funds away from Epstein’s account to his brother is fucked. If the state wanted to, it could have been transferred to Epstein’s victims.

    Also Prince Andrew walks free.

      If the US were actually cool we’d send a whole fucking fleet to extract Andrew, kill all the Buckingham palace guards, steal the crown from Charles’ head after kicking him in the shin, then extraditing Andrew back to the States to have him put on trial before locking him up in ADX Florence.

        None of that would be necessary, the US could just say “give us Andrew” and the UK would happily comply.

        Not gonna happen though, because well yeah we know why

          At the very least it would be educational, a test if the British ruling classes’ reflexive subservience to the hegemon is stronger than their reflexive subservience to the crown.

            I sincerely believe that you’d split the right with half of them going SOVEREIGNTY and the other half going YEAH KILL THE NONCES.

              This is so accurate.

              The fact that the right is like “Tommy Robinson did nuffin wrong” and has nothing to say about the Paedo Prince is bonkers.

      2019 is a long time ago, especially considering other events that universally damaged peoples mental health.

      I don’t think we should rule anything out considering another accuser died recently too, though. iirc? wait the crash was her? Weird method but I don’t have any idea how or where she drove.

      Wait is this real? I thought I’d seen a similar post before but don’t remember it being from her?

        Yup, this was real at the time. Was posted abit before she went onto TrueAnon, where she was incredibly lucid and insightful on how a woman can find herself in a position like that, and what the glaring red flags are and cautioning young artists especially against getting too involved with their wealthy patrons.

    I hate that as soon as I click the link a video starts to play and the first frame is Epstein’s haggard face.

    This woman deserved better than to have the face of her abuser in every article about her. Fucking bleak.

    Rest in peace you poor tortured soul, you shone a light on them and we shall erect statues in your name once the barbarism of western imperialism is overthrown.

    Last thing I saw was a car crash where police later denied the severity

    Wasn’t she just in a bad accident and only given a few days to live?

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
