Steve Bannon’s whole pitch is that he’s leading a movement against a decadent, borderless elite. Except according to newly released messages and emails, that movement has been heavily reliant on the most decadent, borderless elite of all: Jeffrey Epstein.
Steve Bannon Was Much Closer to Epstein Than You Realize

I'm shocked! Shocked, I say!

Bannon is the type of guy you'd never want to enter his house because it smells so bad. I'm not at all surprised he's a diddler too.

You don’t like eau de Cigar and farts?
TachyonTele@piefed.social · 9 pts · 269d
And lots of stale alcohol. Definitely b.o. too
SGGeorwell@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 269d
It’s cigars, and meth, and chipotle farts specifically.

Probably more like cadaverine and putrescine.

You can just smell so many pictures of him.

To be fair, there is no evidence that Bannon himself was a kiddie diddler, just that he was good friends with Epstein. Much like Michael Wolfe and Bill Gates. Though it is quite obvious that he knew what was going on, and has himself said that Epstein was the only person that could take down Trump.

I'm not going to be fair with this asshole. He can rot.
Curiousfur@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 269d
He can swing!. Just like the rest of them.
DaMummy@lemmy.world · -6 pts · 269d
Fair point, but it taints every other Epstein related case.

There was a picture of Gates and a young woman released today...
And Michael Wolfe, that fucker was actively coordinating with Epstein, far more than is normal for a journalist.
DaMummy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 268d
Yeah, that's still just a smoking gun. I've only seen a censored picture with Gates, so for all I know, it could be a picture with Hannibal Lectar himself, and Wolfe is that type of journalist. Everything he's done before, he implants himself into some unbelievable crowds, and it seems to somehow work, though I'm skeptical why some people he talks about still trust him to this day to share the most secrets.

because they know nothing will happen to them, and they like seeing their name in headlines?
samus12345@sh.itjust.works · 10 pts · 269d
It's like when a person sits at a table with Nazis.
DaMummy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 268d
I think we need to kill that saying off after the Ukraine deal, how many jews are blatant nazis like Stephen Miller, and when Vice were good, they would sit down with ISIS.
IronBird@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 268d
plenty of jews helped the actual nazis betray their own people in a move to push people to israel, they're hardly a monolith
DaMummy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 268d
Exactly my point. Not all jews are/were nazis.
sturmblast@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 268d
Vice was soo badass back in the day. I miss that.
samus12345@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 268d
The saying refers to choosing to associate with them, not just negotiating or anything like that.
blazeknave@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 268d
Okay Putin. Don't confuse Jews and Israelis
DaMummy@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 268d
Stephen Miller is an American Jew. And I think it's fair to say if you fell for a Reichstag fire event and are committing a genocide against a semite population, it's okay to call you a nazi.

He's MAGA. ALL MAGAs are pedophiles.

Earlier today I learned he owned a WoW gold farm, and was paying people $4 a day for 80 hour work weeks. Sound like a great guy

I'm pretty sure most offensively rich people in this country, and possibly other countries, were much closer to Epstein than we initially realized at this point.
Avicenna@programming.dev · 9 pts · 268d
I mean there is a reason why all the tech giants are licking Trump's asshole so eagerly. Among other reasons such as being able to run rampant with no consequences, some of their founders or shareholders are almost surely in the files. So Trump is using both carrot and stick against them and it seems to work well.

There was also that rich Chinese guy with the yacht https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/aug/20/steve-bannon-arrested-charged-fraud-we-build-the-wall

It’s seems like EVERYONE was a lot closer to Epstein than we all thought…
UnculturedSwine@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 6 pts · 269d
Still waiting for the expose on omnomnomsky revealing he was really close to Epstein and was a kiddie diddler too. I'm really trying not to be so cynical these days but all these Epstein revelations are not helping.

A group of powerful sexual abusers and pedophiles are at imminent threat of being caught and they're all scrambling to seize power before it can be used to bring them to account. The entire group of current American Republican leadership and strategists are likely all implicated.
