I don't think it has. I think media is saying it has.

Don’t worry, none of us have forgotten about the international pedo ring that many of our public servants tolerated, enabled, and participated in and then did not take responsibility for when they were exposed.

[–] DeborahLevine@thelemmy.club 25 points 1 week ago

No it hasn't...

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

No it doesn't. Keep pretending though

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

i don't buy it that they need to bomb iran to "distract from the epstein files"

they wouldn't be prosecuted about it anyway period, and it's not like people are gonna forget we have pedophilic elites.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 week ago

I do imagine there are more fundamental reasons why the US finally decided to attack Iran.

[–] asdasd201@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's more like those files are used for blackmailing Trump & Co. to attack Iran.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

the us has been threatening iran from way before trump was even being considered for presidency.

[–] asdasd201@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes they do, Iran embargo was way before Trump. But as I understand, Trump was sort of reluctant to attack Iran, and even kidnapped Maduro for distraction.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

trump kidnapped maduro for intimidation, and was just as immune from the epstein stuff then.

i think you guys will have to depose him if you want him to see consequences.

i think you guys will have to depose him if you want him to see consequences.

too many americans are either too comfortable or too desperate to do this; only a systems collapse caused by either climate change or economic crisis will accomplish this.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

then we better hope the oil stuff crashes their economy asap, i really don't want to see what an empire-ending climate change crisis would look like.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

i suspect that they're going to use nukes once their oil stuff is truly threatened

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

then they better come up with a new way to keep rule of the world like they are rn, because they will be throwing their hegemony in the trash and they are not the only ones with nukes.

though to be fair detonating the planet and ending life on earth as we know it because they can't have it all to themselves anymore is something i can totally see them do 🥲

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

the plan is to go hide in their bunkers & safe spotss while civilization collapses from climate change and then come out of their bunkers later to then continue dominating the remaining 2% of humanity that survived the fallout on the surface.

writing this out makes me wish that i was making this up rn.

[–] TiredTiger@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I hope whatever happens, there are enough of us left to fill their damn air vents with cement before we succumb to whatever world-ending catastrophe finally pushes them into the bunkers in the first place.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

new zealand missing from a lot of maps is bourgeois conspiracy to erase it because they will use it as a bunker.

how could we reach new zealand without reliable access to oil or electricity? are wind sails viable for such a trip? asking for a friend.

[–] TiredTiger@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The Maori got there by sea in the first place. Time to start practicing with a sextant and charts.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

the maori did it by building upon thousands of years of experience and technology, while we'll be starting all over from zero with a whole new global dark age; only the people in the bunkers will know how to do it and where the bunkers are.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

we would have to re-learn how to make planes; relearn how to pump oil to fuel them; and relearn how to make powerful enough weapons again after the apocalypse so we can fly to their island bunker fortresses and fight off their private armies to do that.

and that's assuming that we can collectively remember where the bunkers are located; we don't even know where most of them are right now.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

funny you mention it because i've been thinking about preppers. maybe we should be building ours just in case this whole behead them and scramble to fix it thing turns out to not go as well as we would all want.

i feel not even they are having fun in this miserable bullshit they created. how deranged can you be until you can't be satisfied anymore.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

how deranged can you be until you can’t be satisfied anymore.

i imagine that would be the dr evil guy in the epstein files. lol

[–] asdasd201@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You guys

Don't look at me, I don't even live in the American continents.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

even if you did, i don't think usians in general are ready for action at all.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I live here and we are not hungry enough yet.

Maybe ozempic will be put in the tap water when food becomes scarce.

WE’VE BEEN LYING TO YOU THIS WHOLE TIME ABOUT WHAT YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE, BUT IT’S NOT WORKING ANYMORE BECAUSE OF INTERNET MEDIA ON THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT,

MORE AT ELEVEN.

LOOK OVER HERE, the Israeli government totally does not have video footage of our billionaire owner raping underage women on Epstein island.

Damn it, why isn’t it working anymore?

[–] Alloi@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

sure it did, diddy

Sez who? I haven't forgotten anything, and I mean anything. I'm still holding hard grudges from the first administration.

Nah, that's the corporate news services creating the narrative

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Google Trends data

So for me to "stay interested", not only am I supposed to stay at my computer 24/7 and search "epstien files" over and over, I have to use Google to do it as well?

Is the person in charge of calculating unemployment numbers and cost of living increases in charge of this as well?

[–] enkille@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

"president forcibly enters area without permission" headline works for both

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

It's up to us, all of us collectively, to keep talking about it as much as possible. Talk to your friends talk to your neighbors post articles call Congressman anything you can

[–] ScrambledEggs@lazysoci.al 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This just means we need to up our efforts by 95%

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 4 points 1 week ago

I assume articles like these are for the 5% who still believe articles like these.

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago
[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

That's a dumb way to frame this. "My interest in resolving my crippling debt dropped 95% when I set my house on fire!" Well, creating and imminent crisis doesn't make your other problems go away.

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 4 points 1 week ago

The mosquito bite didn't bother me at all after i cut my hand off

[–] Binturong@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Sure, that's why so many people are calling it world war epstein right? This article is pure, concentrated cope. The only strategy they have is telling you you aren't thinking about something, which by the way makes you think about that thing. So... mission accomplished?

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

What stupid research. But even if those numbers are meaningful now, all they remind us of is that people's interest will return. For example, now we have documents about the security guard who got bribed who falsified the documents. We also have more information about Epstein's brother who lied to federal investigators about what he knew. And we have even more pictures and video of Trump being a sleazy bastard.

Donald thought he could deflect attention, but in the end it will always come back to him and his ultra-rich buddies being horrible human beings. We're not gonna forget that. We're not going to let it go.
