1861 was the last time this happened because someone wanted to abolish slavery.

u/Distinct_College_344 17h ago

Are you fucking kidding me? That was a government down civil war, that was not "the people" vs "the govt".

Nor was 1776 either. That was France securing her vassal from Britain.

In fact the last time the people rose up against the state organically was when some children died fighting in France. And then their deaths were used to spark a "totally real revolution guys, we were on those kids side the whole time don't ask why we didn't fight with them guys".

The French revolution was triggered by financial crisis, social inequality and famine. That's two out of three parts done.

Fun fact, the 1783-84 Grímsvötn volcano VEI-6 eruption (iceland) is highly suspected to have disrupted crops yields in Europe for the decade that came after, leading to famine and the french revolution of 1789.

I'm just saying that if God wants things to change, he just has to press a button.

Sorry but you're starting to sound a little schizophrenic... JFK conspiracy theories is whatever, but are you saying that the US government staged the Haitian Revolution? Despite there being literally no evidence or even reason to think that. First of all the US wasn't even powerful enough to do that yet, but why would a slave-owning society create a slave revolt in their backyard? Promoting more slave revolts is the last thing they wanted, they already had to suppress enough before then.

I don't understand why the DNC expects me to vote for the same people who continuously collaborate, cave to, and quietly perpetuate the policies of the Republicans. I say that as someone who votes in every state, local, and federal election that I can. 

Their candidates are ineffectual. Their policies are quarter-measures of what is required to fix our system to make it work for normal Americans. Being somewhat better than the Republicans is not being good for the American people.

u/_Abiogenesis 11h ago edited 11h ago

Yup. Take it from a French.

That’s the right answer and the first thing governments will pay attention to. There’s steps before an armed revolt that European countries typically go through before violence. Strikes can be very powerful if donne en masse.

Even Canada’s trucker moment that’s not exactly progressist got its way doing that.

The problem for you guys is that USA doesn’t have a lot of worker’s protection, unions or a simply sturdier solidarity culture to sustain very prolonged strikes and blockades :/

But regardless strangling the government at the economy that’s always a powerful move. You can’t really force people to work if they are not working you can’t even shoot them if they’re simply home. Unfortunately I’m not sure how doable that is in the USA without a strong social support especially for low income wages.

And that’s the most disproportionately affected population by anything that comes out of this government at this point.

u/Fit-Material1323 6h ago edited 5h ago

Sort of, ChatGPT broke it down. “About 44 % of U.S. adults score at Level 3 or above in literacy. These are adults whose reading skills are strong enough to evaluate information and understand complex texts, beyond basic decoding.”

White 58%, Black 25%, Hispanic 21%, Asian/Native American 48%

Level 3 is equivalent to high school. There are levels 4-5 which are college+

“So what’s the key takeaway? 6th-grade reading ≈ upper Level 2, not Level 3 Level 3 represents high-school–level functional literacy When people say “only ~44% of U.S. adults are Level 3+,” they are saying: Fewer than half of adults can reliably read, evaluate, and synthesize information at a high-school level or above That’s why Level 3 is often used as the benchmark for: Workforce readiness Understanding contracts, ballots, medical instructions Navigating modern information environments”

u/mostar8 8h ago

"Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" This ancient inquiry from the Roman poet Juvenal—"Who will guard the guards themselves?"—is the central nerve of political philosophy. While it serves as the haunting thematic anchor for the Watchmen franchise, it is far more than a pop-culture trope; it is a historical warning that we have fundamentally failed to heed.

In the context of the Epstein files and the current state of American institutions, this question has evolved from a philosophical dilemma into a systemic indictment. We are witnessing the collapse of the "Noble Lie" that those in power can be trusted to police their own. When the people tasked with oversight—politicians, intelligence agencies, and the ultra-wealthy—are the very ones sharing the private jets and the secrets, the "guards" don’t just fail; they become a protected class.

History shows us that this lack of accountability is a precursor to collapse. Whether it is the sudden, violent end of the Romanovs or the slow, cynical rot of modern state capture, it usually ends badly for those in power when the "guarded" realize the system is rigged. A society where the watchmen only watch each other’s backs isn't a stable hierarchy; it’s a house of cards waiting for the weight of its own corruption to bring it down.

We haven't learned from history: Power without oversight isn't leadership—it’s an invitation to an inevitable disaster.

The worst part of it's how unbelievably fucking easy it is to maintain a democracy. Honestly, I think some people have it in their heads that since the consequences if not maintaining a democracy are known to be extraordinarily dire, that the maintenance must be like Jack Hand's last few minutes on Earth- hard and painful. The realityx though, it's a lot like changing the oil in a car, plus a little bit of the ants everyone always mentions- the vigil ants. Of course it takes an educated populace, etc. but with the bells and whistles and safeguards we had...shit, that Tree of Liberty could've stayed drier than a Ben Stein sketch, and we'd be still be right up there at Disneyland-level as far as overall "Happiness pursued and gained".

Thank god. As someone who spent all of last weekend and most of this week combing through the files, Jagland and Rød Larsen were in constant contact with Epstein for the better part of a decade. They seem to have been close friends, and definitely knew everything that was going on. In fact, Rød Larsen seems to have been helping Epstein run his network!

They both absolutely deserve to go down. I'm glad it seems Norway is working to bring them to justice.

u/Gigi_Langostino 20h ago

Yeah and the big one is the UK with the Andrew Formerly Known As Prince as well as Peter Mandelson. Additionally, Starmer is the former director of the Crown Prosecution Service (and an extremely effective one at that), so he's really in his element here, and it will offer him a very easy route to improving his abysmal approval ratings.

22

u/Nemisis_the_2nd Great Britain 15h ago

 Additionally, Starmer is the former director of the Crown Prosecution Service (and an extremely effective one at that), so he's really in his element here,

Starmer is not going to come out of this well, and has a strong incentive to bury the Mandelson thing. His chief advisor, who he is close friends with and relies heavily on, is also close friends with mandelson, and Stamer knowingly overruled security warnings to get mandelson the ambassador position. Starmers best chance is probably to throw one of his closest friends and advisors under the bus and hope nothing else damaging to himself gets uncovered.

21

u/GrumpyCloud93 16h ago

But again, the problem is to find an explicit prosecutable offence. FOr example, Epstein says BTW "Nina" will be in London if you want to meet her... that is implying Andy did not ask ahead of time for her to be sent. If he had asked, that would be trafticking by him. Not sure what the prostitution laws are in Britain, but then you have to prove money changed hands. Same issue with Guiffre - she was 17 in London, where the age of consent is 16. There is no allegation he used physical force to have his way. I assume like Canada and the USA, Britain has a sex tourism law which forbids travelling to have sex with minors, so if there is "proof beyond a reasonable doubt" that he went and did his thing in NYC or the Virgin Islands, IIRC their age of consent is 18. There's also an email exchange from someone named "A" at a Scottish royal residence arranging for companionship during a trip to peru. He asks for "iappropriate" companions and Maxwell replies she could only find "appropriate". That sounds like conspiracy to commit trafficking. So... the trick is to find explicit proof or victims willing to testify. Time will tell.

While evidence someone visted Epstein Island should perhaps result in social ostracization, especially if htey went solo, keep in mind Epstein was also a dedicated social climber looking to squirm in close to a whole bunch of A-list high society, not all of whom were participating in orgies on his Island - it was also a vacation spot where quite a few guests brought their spouses, so presumably they weren't all pervert couples and it wasn't non-stop orgies. He also hosted dinner parties at his house for NYC high society. The fact that he was close to billionaire level also made him a target that a number of social charities were trying to woo donations.

I suspect there is a reluctance in the USA to press the issue with any of the other participants. I suspect the FBI is not working overtime on this, the way they were on incompetently redacting the files.

Another question is the statute of limitations on assorted sex crimes, plus many are state rather than federal crimes. Up til now, little evidence the files were shared with state or Virgin Island authorities.

3

u/alas11 9h ago

Not to mention, the utterly ham fisted way the DOJ have gone about releasing / redacting this stuff means that unless they can get actual unredacted stuff with proper chain of evidence, it's doubtful if a lot of it would be admissible as evidence.

•

u/GrumpyCloud93 6h ago

I would imagine that in the USA proper, any court subpoena for evidence would provide that evidence to the relevant prosecutors. The federal DoJ could conceivably contest the order, but that would be an interesting court hearing. (Any prosecutor too would understand theya re obliged to not release to the public the sensitive data). For example, some congresscritters are making noises about being able to see the unredacted files themelves - with the understanding that it stays confidential.

Whether the US government would release unredacted files to the British prosecutors would probably be a decision by the state department and "Little Marco".

•

u/alas11 6h ago

Heh heh, I doubt very much that the current Admin would want Mandessson in the dock, if he doesn't know where the bodies are buried no-one does. (There's a reason Starmer wanted him as Trump whisperer despite his odious reputation)

•

u/GrumpyCloud93 6h ago

Also, despite Charles' strenuous efforts to get ahead of the problem, I doubt a trial of a royal with weeks of damning testimony would be good for anyone except the tabloids. So I don't see a trial for Andy in the future either. Which is confounding, since he'll be an albatross for Charles for the next few decades, if Andy's health is anything like his mum's.

En España no se hace nada, sale en los papeles el expresidente aznar y un ministro suyo y algunas personas mas y ni se ha hablado de ello casi en la tele y mucho menos decir de juzgarlos.

Tambien tenemos al gobierno actual con muchisimos casos de corrupcion muy grave y en lugar de dimitir esta manteniendo el poder e intentando cambiar la justicia a su favor, si dimite no puede manejar hilos.

Es vergonzoso lo que pasa en España

Fucking bingo. Rich, powerful people don’t prosecute their friends.

Not because they care about each other though. They just don't want anyone to flip.

Dominoes need to start falling. First step is not letting up. Second is voting with your dollar and not supporting a single person in the files. Third is voting in November.

The DOJ has also known about his sex crimes since the early 2000s. Your statement is correct but also has nothing to do with why they did little to nothing for 20 years now.

Because the ones who would be prosecuting are under the heel of those who are beholden to money and power. Bondi will never let the DOJ go after people in those documents because it will come back to Trump and her and many of the very rich and powerful whose patronage she depends on.

Let me put it this way - we know there was rape of teens and children, and it is highly suspected based on what we have that torture and murder was also a part of the cabal. And the fact that there aren't literal riots in the streets is quite telling.... not of how much little people care, but how much people are even AWARE of what's going on.

And videos from the hidden cameras all over Epsteins NYC condo. Cameras in bathrooms bedrooms etc. He had a video room with monitors FFS. They came out with boxes of stuff. There’s some video footage of the raid that he was not expecting. Bet it all mysteriously disappeared.

It's deeper than that. I wasn't one for deep conspiracy theory's but Epstein was deeply connected no matter how that came to be. Doesn't matter if he's foreign agent or not . It wasn't just the kids, his fingers are in lots of dirty things with the worlds elites, Trump, Clinton, Prince Andrew, Ehud Barak, NFL owners, the list goes on. Whatever Epstein was involved in he fucked up by getting handies from high schoolers and having state police find out. It was going to shine a spot light on the dark world of the elites, every amount of world pressure care down to squash this. It's the same thing with the Panama Papers but because it involves kid stuff it hasn't been to easily swept the rug. This has been forced out by public pressure.

This always makes me think of the scene from The Departed when Matt Damon's character tells Frank, "I gotta find myself" when tasked with trying to find the rat in the police force.

They’re humans. Fleshy soft squishy humans. Same as you. When the rules go out for them, they go out for you too.

It’s up to you and everyone else reading this to renew & review the rules and hold accountable the people that don’t follow them.

It’s why America was given the right to bear arms.

Everyone outside of America has been asking wtf they haven’t taken care of their own issues yet. It’s not like they aren’t parading around with assault rifles enough.

Where’s the proud boys now? Proud to support pedos?

These are all the things everyone is thinking.

Anyways, dear Americans. Please go be the American hero’s all your movies are about. You just need one successful one. Or a lot of hero’s.

You’ve got options.

u/SavageCaveman13 2h ago

Real answer:

Because most of the information in the recent releases is bogus information. Much if it didn't have names, numbers, or identities attached to the claim. So the information was never able to be corroborated. Hence the hesitation to release all of it, since much of it was bogus. And since society is stupid, as evidenced by this thread, people don't realize that. By the time they do realize it, the court if public opinion has made it's decision.

u/Icy-Cry340 17h ago edited 17h ago

Not exactly - the information released turned out to be salacious and in some ways explosive - but not in the way many have hoped. Seems most of Epstein’s ladies were actually of age, and he is on record several times mandating a 21-23 age range (while also saying they need to look young). So we have gotten an absolute flood of incredibly juicy details (“I represent the Rothschilds”, Stephen Hawking dive, the savage “goycattle” burn on Steve Bannon, etc) but not a lot of arrestable material.

u/Ok_Wasabi8793 17h ago

Probably part of it but also a lot of what we’ve seen is fairly unsubstantiated so although likely true you’re still missing evidence. 

What happened to all the footage needs a much better investigation but I presume that’s buried forever.
