A few months after their friendship began, in a November 2016 email included in the FBI files, Epstein sent Chopra a link to a Daily Mail article about a “troubled woman” who claimed that she had been assaulted by Donald Trump when she was 13 years old, at a party hosted by Epstein. (The article reported that those allegations had not been substantiated, and that the woman’s lawsuit against Trump was dismissed.)

“Did she also drop civil case against you?” Chopra asked. Epstein responded with one word: “yup.” Chopra said: “good.”

Over the following year, the two continued to exchange greetings, ideas and invitations. In February 2017, Chopra invited Epstein by email to attend a course the following month called “Journey Into Healing.” Chopra added that he would also be leading a weeklong retreat that June at a Canadian resort — he wrote “Bamf,” presumably meaning Banff, Alberta — and said, “The girls might enjoy it.”

In another email a few days after that one, Chopra invited Epstein to “Come to Israel with us” to “Relax and have fun with interesting people.” He suggested that Epstein might “use a fake name” and “Bring your girls.”

“They investigated me for month -- found nothing!!!” said the short note, which is hard to decipher in some places. “It is a treat to be able to choose” the “time to say goodbye,” the note continues. “Watcha want me to do -- Bust out cryin!!”

“NO FUN,” the note concludes, with those words underlined. “NOT WORTH IT!!”

A Library Dedicated Solely to the Epstein Files Is Opening in New York

Video Source

In today's episode, we examine the recent file releases related to Jeffrey Epstein and his celebrity, political and business connections.

“A man actually claims that he met Jeffrey Epstein, was brought to the ranch, was drugged, and he describes in detail a scene in which multiple young men were r---- at the ranch in front of him after he was drugged,” Stansbury said.

“You hear about Jeffrey Epstein's penchant for minors and for young women, but not men, we haven't heard that before,” Brown said.

Also appearing on the program was Chauntae Davies, an Epstein survivor who told CBS News in 2019 that she was raped at Zorro Ranch “at least twice," and says she was abused by Epstein and his accomplices between 2001 and 2005. She was also photographed in 2002 at 22 years old giving a massage to former President Bill Clinton.

Speaking with Brown, Davies said that she remembered hearing “rumors” at the ranch about the burial of two women or girls that were killed by “strangulation during rough, fetish sex,” and that she recalled conversations about a disturbing incident potentially involving Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime accomplice who’s currently serving 20 years in prison for sex trafficking.

From Peter Thiel to Reid Hoffman to Leon Black, the Epstein class is still here, it's bipartisan, and it's extremely powerful.

Zampolli, a former head of a modeling agency in the ’90s, claims that he introduced Donald and Melania Trump and helped the first lady obtain a work visa in the mid-’90s. He even told the Daily Mail he was prepared to testify before Congress following Melania’s public denial earlier this month of close connections to Jeffrey Epstein, including that it was the convicted sex offender introduced her to Donald Trump. Melania Trump called for a congressional hearing to allow survivors of Epstein’s abuse to testify.

Zampolli has his own ties to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. He and Epstein discussed and later failed in their bid to purchase the agency Elite Model Management in 2004, and according to the Daily Beast, became a partner of Maxwell’s environmental charity and nonprofit organization, the TerraMar Project, that described itself as focused on protecting oceans. Maxwell launched the project in 2012 but the organization was dissolved in December 2019, following Epstein’s arrest in July of that same year.

Sex-criminal financier Jeffrey Epstein housed women who say he abused them in several London flats in the years after UK police decided not to investigate him, the BBC can reveal.

We found evidence of four flats, rented in the affluent borough of Kensington and Chelsea, in receipts, emails and bank records contained within the Epstein files. Six of the women housed in them have since come forward as victims of Epstein's abuse.

Many of them - from Russia, eastern Europe and elsewhere - were brought to the UK after the Metropolitan Police decided not to investigate Virginia Giuffre's 2015 allegation that she had been a victim of international trafficking to London.

The Met said it followed "reasonable lines of inquiry" at the time, interviewing Giuffre on multiple occasions following her complaint and co-operating with US investigators.

Some of the women housed in the London flats were coerced by Epstein to recruit others into his sex trafficking scheme, as well as regularly transported to Paris by Eurostar to visit him, according to emails in the files.

“Will take legal action against you and your pedophile husband,” she wrote in another post a few minutes earlier. “I have known you for 20 years. You knew I was detained in ICE. You were present in my life — every year on my son’s birthday, even sending Secret Service and being the first to congratulate him, back in 2016.

“Something was clearly wrong, but I am not part of any evil mission involving children. So what did you do, Melania? You tried to involve me, but you failed — because I have character.”

Beyond her laughable attempt to overcome years of her own history with Jeffrey Epstein -- thoroughly documented both privately and in the media -- by simply ordering discussion of it to stop, Mrs. Trump has called for a hearing not for the perpetrators, nor for Epstein's co-conspirators, but a hearing in which the survivors testify.

I wish I were joking, but no. The linked BBC article, which focuses more on Mrs. Trump's well-established, undeniable ties to both Epstein and Maxwell, also has information on this proposed hearing:

In a surprise announcement on Thursday, the first lady called for congressional hearings for survivors of Epstein's sex trafficking.

Melania Trump on Thursday additionally called on lawmakers to "give these victims their opportunity to testify under oath in front of Congress with the power of sworn testimony".

"Each and every woman should have her day to tell her story in public if she wishes, and then her testimony should be permanently entered into the congressional record," she said. "Then, and only then, we will have the truth."

Family of Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, Sky and Amanda Roberts, and other survivors told BBC Newsnight that they "have already shown extraordinary courage by coming forward, filing reports, and giving testimony.

"Asking more of them now is a deflection of responsibility, not justice," they said in a statement. They accused the first lady of protecting "those with power", including members of her husband's administration who they said still have not released all of the investigative files related to Epstein.

"Survivors have done their part," they said. "Now it's time for those in power to do theirs."

When faced with domestic/personal political problems, an easy method to sideline & slowly solve them, is to start or escalate #war.

It shifts the public conversation, changes the legal & political environment /interests, eases expanded military action at home, & creates opportunities to reward & align with certain factions (oligarchs, corporations, #military leaders).

Here are my thoughts and analysis on the subject in the shape of a table.

What do you think?

Took me a while to make this :)

Please share if you think this makes sense!

Was going through the (partial!) Epstein Files.

This is exactly how convicted child-sex offender Jeffrey #Epstein and his friends wanted their victims to feel, when with them, especially minors! 🤢

A woman who says Donald Trump abused her when she was 13 years old in 1984 shared information about her life that turned out to be true.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.wtf/post/40215034

Gettin’ academic on his @$%.

A friend of hers also reported the allegations about Trump to the FBI in 2019. The bureau cited her allegations in an email circulated within the agency and recently made public by the Justice Department. She asked that her friend be protected.

Of the details that The Post and Courier found supported by public records, none related directly to the alleged victim’s claims about Trump.

To identify key players in the woman’s account and attempt to evaluate her claims, the newspaper scoured court records, police reports and old newspaper clippings in multiple states. It also deployed a reporter to the West Coast to retrace her steps in a journey that began on a tony resort island along the South Carolina coast.

. . . At one point, her mother became aware that Epstein had nude photos of the teen from their sexual encounters and was demanding money to keep them hidden, the woman told the FBI. The victim said she had seen the photographs in his bedstand, leading to a violent encounter when he discovered her snooping.

She said his extortion demand caused her mother to steal funds from her real estate company.

[OP Note: interesting that Epstein was the same dirtbag asshole before he got all of Les Wexner’s money. At the time of this accuser’s account he was just extorting his landlord]

. . . She said the incident occurred when he was a leading developer with a new casino in Atlantic City. She said she was led to Trump in a “very tall building with huge rooms.” The future president instructed others to leave the room, she said, and allegedly told her, “Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be.”

She said he unzipped his pants and forced her to perform a sex act. The alleged victim told the FBI she “bit the (expletive) out of it,” causing Trump to slap her across the face and curse at her.

It is unclear from the interview records how long she stayed in the New York area, but she had family connections in the state.

In her talks with the FBI, the woman also detailed calls to her mother at an assisted living facility on the West Coast, where both of them had settled. The Post and Courier verified that the mother used a private nursing care home as an address in her declining years. A death record matches the mother’s age and name, but Washington state does not publicly release other identifying details.

. . . After her time with Epstein, the alleged victim [accumulated a record of criminal charges, drug dependency and domestic turmoil. She had a daughter and was prosecuted for filing false claims for food stamp applications. The alleged victim avoided prison by completing a drug diversion program.

The alleged victim had a turbulent domestic life, with three marriages including one that lasted only a few weeks. Her mother shows up in court records as a witness in a violent domestic incident between her daughter and her first husband, who declined to speak when a reporter approached him at his door.

The alleged victim eventually returned to the East Coast and lived with relatives in Georgia, developing a romantic relationship with a terminally-ill man who was saving money for his funeral.

She stole an envelope filled with cash from him and spent a year in the county jail for it. Her public defender told The Post and Courier that she described her life to him as having been permanently scarred by her experience with Epstein.

Breaking down a video about Sharon Stone and her career in the 80's to what is happening now in hollywood and Epstein files. Some individuals discussed are Woody Allen, Wes and Samantha Craven. I saw same some similarities/connections with ICE, Drake's new album ICEMAN, (ice cream), and the owl, which is his logo for his record label.

This is a breakdown of the global fallout since the Epstein Files have been dropped. Resignations, Arrests, Stocks Falling, World War III, etc. The video also includes clips from an interesting interview of Sam Tripoli on the Danny Jones Show.

The above-linked EFTA file is a "Notice of Appeal and Petition to Review" filed against the Epstein estate in 2021.

Normally these things are drier than a fart in the Sahara -- and really, don't expect anything different now -- but it was just something that came up today when I was trying to find a transcript of the USVI probate court proceedings I read several months ago.

But what first caught my attention -- and I mean beyond the fact that they have moved many (most?) of the PUBLIC probate court records off the "Court Records" section of the main DoJ Epstein library -- is that these PUBLIC records are now all redacted.

Okay, fine. I've seen enough redacted instances of the word don't to know what they're doing.

But I'm looking through this and noticing they're redacting unrelated place names, and select individual names, that have nothing to do with anything but the filing itself, and are themselves not only public record, but in the news.

For example, in every mention of St. Thomas, the name Thomas is redacted.

In every mention of Denise George, the Attorney General of the USVI, the name George is redacted.

Yet a great many other proper names are NOT redacted. Denise, Carol, Shari, Daniel and Marc are just fine with the DoJ. Even Andrew is in there a few times, unredacted for all the world to see.

So out of curiosity and maybe a bit of spite, I found an unredacted version of this very public (and honestly quite boring) record and compared them side by side, and found a pretty clear pattern.

These are all the unique redactions. Do you see it too?

First, this is very clearly auto-redaction. No human did this, inasmuch as it makes zero sense to redact the partial name of the court where the filing was made, in every instance where it appears, for example. Or half an attorney's name, or half of the name of a public official. So I think it's safe to conclude as a hypothesis that these are machine redactions.

If that's true, then we're looking at a list of specific terms fed into a program to be redacted no matter where they appear, whether in whole or in part. We know this because partial and not whole names are redacted, and the same parts are consistently redacted.

So you'd expect to see victim names redacted, right? Or female names? No. Except for a handful, they are ALL male first names, or could be. No female first names were redacted.

But then there's Royal, lol. And Ferguson. (But not Andrew.)

Parris is best known as Parris Island, a military training center off the coast of South Carolina, but it could refer to a number of people (including at least one in politics) or places.

Singer and White also fall into this latter "could be anyone or anywhere" category, but these too are not self-evidently victim names, which are the only names, by law, that EFTA files are supposed to have redacted. They're just the partial names of rando attorneys attached to a mundane probate filing in the USVI.

Below are the actual page by page redactions, for anyone interested.
