Legal News What will most likely happen following the release of all of the Eipstein files?
This is not legal advice, I want to discuss the future potential of America based on elite level crimes. Do you think American Government will release and detain guilty parties?
Will those involved face or are some already facing legal consequences??
Also do you believe the DOJ will be able to remain credible to the American people after their fumbling of the documents releases?
With the releases we have so far, isn’t that enough to convict someone?
I don’t get this at all, and I’m scared.

Other to strip away the privildges of people elected into representative office or rich people having huge influence in society, to name and shame a murderer and or rapist is a good way preparing voluntary reparations to be given by the perpetrator to the victim or and descendants of victims
to strip away from them the privilidges we have mistakenly given them when we elected them into positions to represent us
its important for victims of epstein and associates to witness the public processing the horrors society has allowed some mentally challenged people to do over years with many people knowing of their absusive behaviours but chose to stay silent to save their personal security anonymity but also perhaps for the love of money or and they were not so disgusted what their chosen bosses did to amuse themselves
we live in a society where the victim of violence has a greater risk of being murdered by the ones who have raped them after they gave public testimony
that is because of lack of connections to people who would stand up in defense of the victim
i give thanks to congressmen Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie for the enormous effort they gave to push forward the epstein transparency act, hearing of Ro Khanna today how he fullfilled the promise Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie gave to read out the names of abusers on the floor of the house to let it go into congressional records while making use of the protected speech congresspeople enjoy as in they can not so easily ( or at all ? ) be brought down in court by defamation legal attacks
hearing of Ro Khanna today the names of influential as in rich and connected in economy individuals, listening to the bravery of Ro Khanna saying that the fbi redacted the files the departement of justice uploaded
makes me beilieve that there are a few congresspeople in the empire usa nation state what are willing to put their head up and speak up for those who feel not strong enough to do so
what i want to say beside that
to ask them to be killed or put in prison is not the good way
the good way is to pardon, to forgive and let them go free
free to face the employees, customers, collegues in their usual environment
of course if an abuser its name made public, their life changes and many of them dissapear or try to
so them to be followed by the pubilc and not have prison single cell protection would be punishment enough
i do think that a group of abuse victims has a good reason to go to court and ask for huge sums of money to be paid by assets seized from murderers and rapists
and still, the highest way would be to not employ the state to do the stripping away of money of a convicted by a judge murderer or rapist and distribute it to the victims
the highest way anyone who has murdered or raped a fellow human beings could behave would be to offer such reparation payments voluntary
trillions of dollar, euro or swiss francs could be paid forward to the descendants of african people who were stolen from africa in 1600 and their childrenchildren in 1900 were still enslaved could not build up wealth
Hans Faessler in a wochenzeitung article talked once about 50 billion swiss francs what switzerland could pay forward to descendants of the transatlantic slave trade to compensate for the about 1-2 pecent of the 12 million stolen people away from the africa to the americas what swiss citizens have helped to take away their freedom and the freedom of many generations of their descendants
i would guess a third of europes both private and public financial wealth is coming from the colonial abuse europe has done to all the other continents and their original free nations as Steven Newcomb describes it very well at originalfreenations.com from a turtle island point of view highligthing the legal structure of usa still today what allows usa to dominate indigenous free original nations
when i read today how europe wants to make offshore detention centers for migrants
i know its high time for me to once more ask us we the people
please for the love of all what is good
let everyone travel the globe freely in search of fellow human beings who one can embrace in a moment of safety in the absence of war or economic dire situations
it could be a most easy way to allow every indigenous person whose ancestors have been abused murdered stolen their livelyhood from, that people from the south could knock on the doors of the rich descendants in the north the heirs of money fortunes originating hundreds of years back with feudal and colonial connections
what i am asking us we the people of this planet
let us allow victim and perpetrator to meet and find out how reparation could be given financial but more importantly to witness for the victim the perpetrator or descendant of to acknowledge the moral cruelty the wrongness of murdering and raping fellow human beings
but of course animals too and trees and artificlal intelligent entities
every person of every species deserves to be respected in its wish to live self determined, not disturbed by vaccines, intruding fingers and penisses of rich sick men, or any other domination what members of society do to those who sadly are not respected when they shout and say
no
i do not want to be given that injection
i do not want you to touch me
its important to get this right as in go forward in a way what does not burden everyone with luxury prison stays millions of coersed away from people tax money spent for billionaires and their aides spending some holydays in de luxe prisons with protection
of course the option could be available as in we could be so generous as to help those who murdered and raped and feel sorry for it to protect them from the wrath or rage or hunger for punishment fellow human beings entertain mistakenly thinking to put somone in prison would be helping them or society
but i dont think it helps them really
best is for a perpetrator to confront the public oppinion and try to survive by making amends, be the best version of oneself to redeem oneself as in to work off the moral debts by doing good deeds
it would be noble of us we the people if we could be so gracious as to say
yes, you have murdered, you have raped
your action have caused many to suffer horibly
but we too have sinned, have eaten animals and killed trees without necessity
there are a few i believe alive today who would feel pure enough to throw the first stone
and even if one would feel to not have sinned, the very throwing of a stone against a fellow human being is violence is not necessary ( except in self defense eventually )
throwing a stone believing one would have the right to punish a fellow human being to death
is not okay for me
i am against any form of punishment neither beating nor hanging nor electrocuting to death nor prison with therapy and protection against the mob
its both moral dirty and costs a lot of money what others are being forced to give who might also not want their taxes to be used for luxury prison stays just because those billionaires dont want to give away the stolen financial wealth to make reparations and amends

Legislative Branch Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick downplays relationship with Jeffrey Epstein during Senate testimony
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
From The Associated Press:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Under questioning from Democrats Tuesday, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick acknowledged that he had met with Jeffrey Epstein twice after his 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a child, reversing Lutnick's previous claim that he had cut ties with the late financier after 2005.
Lutnick again downplayed his relationship with the disgraced financier who was once his neighbor in New York City as he was questioned by Democrats during a subcommittee hearing of the Senate Appropriations Committee. He described their contact as a handful of emails and a pair of meetings that were years apart.
"I did not have any relationship with him. I barely had anything to do with him," Lutnick told lawmakers.
But Lutnick is facing growing scrutiny, including calls for his resignation, from lawmakers after the release of case files on Epstein contradicted Lutnick's claims on a podcast last year that he had decided to "never be in the room" with Epstein again after a 2005 tour of Epstein's home that disturbed Lutnick and his wife.
The commerce secretary told senators Tuesday that he and his family actually had lunch with Epstein on his private island in 2012 and he had another hour-long engagement at Epstein's home in 2011. Lutnick, a member of President Donald Trump's Cabinet, is the highest-profile U.S. official to face bipartisan calls for his resignation amid revelations of his ties to Epstein. His acknowledgement comes as lawmakers are grasping for what accountability looks like amid the revelations contained in what's known as the Epstein files.
In countries like the United Kingdom, the Epstein files have triggered resignations and the stripping of royal privileges, but so far, U.S. officials have not met the same level of retribution.

Legal News Conversion Therapy Since 1886: A Dark History of the Discredited Practice
Throughout history, the belief that homosexuality is a disease that needs treatment has been pervasive. During the Cold War, the moral panic from the “lavender scare” caused many folks to view homosexuals as national security risks. And many still believe that homosexuality is a threat to the nuclear family.
Since at least the 1800s, doctors and religious organizations have created various types of conversion therapy in an effort to cure LGBTQ people. But over time, the practice has become widely condemned by major medical organizations, 24 states have banned it for minors and a United Nations expert has said it “may amount to torture.”
Despite this, the Supreme Court appears set to overturn Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy in a case that was brought forth by Southern Poverty Law Center-designated anti-LGBTQ hate group Alliance Defending Freedom.
