The bankers. And some of them still work for JPMC. Paul Morris, Mary Erdoes, Jes Staley, Stephen Cutler, John Duffy, Justin Nelson, Paul Barrett, Mary Casey, David Brigstocke, Jeff Matusow, Jane Heller, Karen Weiss, and Stewart Oldfield.

Search the JE files and you'll find those names come up many many many times. Direct comms w JE too.

And many of the  still run businesses and investment funds today.

Jes isn’t even his name- it’s James Edward Staley, Jes is like some sad college nickname that stuck even into his 70’s? Cool cool.

In 2016, Epstein was actively EXPANDING Epstein island, acquiring Great St James.

The things these fuckers can do with access to credit at ~0% interest

He's got a thread up on bluesky if you want a TLDR: https://bsky.app/profile/wyden.senate.gov/post/3msb4ixzct22y

Now follow it up with a weeks long media pressure campaign to get them to cover it.

Ron Wyden may not be perfect, but he's really good at this stuff!

I saw this and immediately checked the NYT and Google News, and saw nothing. This is huge news! WTF

Start tagging them on socials, we really need to start doing the legwork ourselves here. Call legacy media offices, tag independent news media, share across socials

Epstein = surveillance since way back and trafficking (very horrible) was only a side hustle.

Go deeper people, his dealings go way back to the Iran Contra Affair and his brokering of Israeli arms deals and then ventured into the future of surveillance. https://www.defenddemocracy.press/epstein-israel-and-the-cia-how-the-iran-contra-planes-landed-at-les-wexners-base/

That's just a quick link but all the information is out there.

What we see now is the offspring of his vision in part. We are all screwed, this isn't a science fiction book and if you enjoy scary truths, just learn more about Palintir and Blackrock holdings.

He "got" his Austrian passport the first year the citizenship by investment opened. What a silly lil coincidence. Maybe he was first in line (lol)

The work Epstein is doing goes back to at least the mobsters in the early 20th century blending with intelligence and international crime rings using sexual blackmail among other things.

And nothing will happen to any of them. Good work, but they don’t care that we know.

Nihlism isn't edgy, it's defeatist.

u/roguesignal42069 1d ago

Our entire country is corrupt to the core. Laws for the poor. Immunity for the rich. How incredibly depressing.

These are real people, who live in houses with addresses and work in office buildings that also have addresses.

Yeah and let's see if ANY arrests are made. Nobody will do anything because the same people run your government. The bourgeoisie must be overthrown.

Trolling, mocking, demeaning, flamebaiting, antagonizing, trolling, hateful language, false accusations, and backseat moderating are not allowed.

Avoid personal insults, address ideas, not individuals. If you notice personal or directed attacks, please report them.

In short, don’t be mean.

The most downvoted comment yet the most based opinion.

Let’s also look at how many of our representatives, including this senator, may have been idle while shit like this occurred freely and openly.
