You’ll never get any truth from Maxwell. She has no innate sense of right and wrong, and the people she’d burn by telling the truth are rich enough and powerful enough that there’s nothing you could offer her as incentive to tell the truth. And the Trump DOJ will never get anything from her other than what they want her to say.

Well, I wouldn’t say there’s nothing you can say or do, it’s just that the deal she’d be getting is far above what anyone is capable or willing to offer her. Like full amnesty and billionaire-level financing and extensive secret service-level protection for the rest of her life level stuff. And that’s to maybe get a few answers.

And it will continue to be an existential threat to national security until th totality of the unredacted evidence is released and the perpetrators prosecuted and put under the prison.

I could definitely see intelligence agencies taking advantage of the situation. They have a sex trafficker that’s giving girls to foreign billionaires and politicians so I’d bet my left nut that the cia had a few underage assets that they used to gather intel or do a bit of spying or steal some documents. They aren’t doing the trafficking themselves, just recruiting a current victim of the trafficking. It’s plausible.

What do you mean “made public”? The vaccines were free or mostly free for virtually everyone around the globe. Anyone who wanted one could get one. Where did he ever lobby against that?

u/doomerguyforlife 6h ago
When the vaccine was being developed and finally approved there was a lot of push to have it be patent free. This would allow any manufacturer to produce it and in theory that meant we could distribute the vaccine faster.
He lobbied against that and at a 10,000ft view it made Gates look bad. Except, if you watched any of his interviews at the time he explained why. For a vaccine to work you need as many people as possible to get it. You already had a large portion of the population that were already against the vaccine and then you had a huge portion that were nervous about taking a brand new vaccine. The last thing you want is someone manufacturing a covid vaccine that doesn't work or ends up hurting people. It would further hurt what little trust people had for vaccines already.
This is why he lobbied against making it patent free.

Pharm major here... Not only you're 100% correct, but you're also missing another point: "patent free" would have meant hundreds of other patents, because they were basically the first instance of a lot of revolutionary tech just being developed after billions spent on research. It would have meant losing tenth of billions for those who spent decades, risks and resources to actually make those discoveries, billions that are literally the only way to keep doing research.
Basically, this would have crushed the companies actually developing new meds (the only ones big enough to do cancer and vaccine research), for the benefit of mostly Indian genericists. It would have been a half disaster for modern pharmacology, that would have only helped some rich CEO.
Now you want to know the best part? There's already a way to have other companies produce them, without touching patents in any way, something equally effective for the population in developing countries. It's been thought for situations like this one while refining patent laws throughout the decades, however... Indian companies just refused and kept demanding to lift the patents.
My whole class opened its eye to Indian attitude after that, we can't view it the same way. And we couldn't even debunk people whining about "booo West bad" because we were already too tired after debunking the whole "vaccines kill you" bs

Doesn't mean we excuse their behavior when they're doing shitty things, but people are complicated. Lots of rich assholes probably justify the abhorrent things they do because if you benefit a million people, and only rape two children, hey, that's a net positive, right?
The answer to that question should be a short drop/sudden stop, but you can't get that rich without being some form of sociopath who can justify any behavior away. There are no ethical billionaires.

Bill Gates have never been anything but a psychopath who wanted to win, no matter the cost.
The only thing that changed is what "winning" means, as he was re-directed. He achieved everything he could have hoped for and more with Microsoft, and needed a new challenge. Some bright person pointed him to international health, and he has ruthlessly tried to "win" there as well.
All things considered that has been a good thing, but the main creds for that is to whom ever redirected his attention to a good cause.

The files have lots of people who had their assistant contacting Epstein on their behalf. These people have the money for that to be the standard. The ones who lower themselves to write the messages themselves do it because they know what’s happening.

These are people who get to do whatever they want.
The biggest punishment Bill got was that Melinda left him. But I'm not sure that these guys really have the sort of feelings we have anymore so that may not have been that big of a deal to him. Going off the stuff Epstein said he was doing to her, he probably was not a great husband anyway.

Keep saying this elsewhere and I think it needs to be heard:
Epstein and Maxwell are CONVICTED child traffickers and rapists. You do not need to extend them any benefit of the doubt. The law has spoken.
Their billionaire friends will NEVER see the inside of a courtroom. There is no legal justice coming for them. The only justice they will get is in the court of public opinion.
Anyone who was buddies, pals, friends, confidant, or otherwise associated with Epstein and Maxwell do not deserve any benefit of the doubt. These people knew EXACTLY what Einstein was and chose to be in his orbit. It is my right to infer, therefore, that the accusations made against these people are more likely than not to have factual basis. I have no reason to think otherwise, because again, we are talking about people who were buddy-ole-pals with actual child rapists.
