the average person is actually too stupid to legitimately understand the epstein files
everyone knows epstein was a bad guy, so they immediately assume that literally anything in those emails has to be related to something bad. people are making massive leaps in logic to come to conclusions that are likely far worse than what is actually being displayed.
epstein is bad, obviously, we all know that, but the thing about villains in real life is that they are still people. epstein didn't have a mountain with a massive skull carved into it that exuded dark energy that could only be dispelled by he-man or some shit.
take example 1, for instance. i'm seeing people say that "140 - coney island" in this email is code for a 14 year old boy that epstein and his brother are talking about. no, it's literally just them talking about the invention of hot dogs on coney island 140 years ago. who the fuck knows why, but that's what it is. the link isn't some weird sinister shit, it's just a local news website that is still running to this day. unfortunately that specific article isn't on the wayback machine, but i'm pretty sure it's talking about hot dogs and coney island.
then you have example 2, where people see =9 and see it as referring to a 9 year old. if they have seen the other files, they'll know that the = sign shows up a lot as a substitute for other letters and numbers at random, likely due to some weird formatting error. this exact email is present in another location in the files with the formatting intact to show it is a 19 year old being talked about: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA00659212.pdf
i'm beginning to wonder if these files really SHOULDN'T have been released. there's so much slop that can be so easily misinterpreted while there are other problems in the US and in the world in general that are more immediate threats to a massive amount of people. it all seems like a distraction and a lot of political theater. it'd be better if the DOJ could actually hunt these people down, charge them, and release the relevant documents for those cases to the public instead of just uncovering literally everything epstein ever did online.
@beardalaxy additionally people are forgetting that these messages are from an old man so he's treating these emails like how you would text messages.
He probably see something on TV decides to message someone that he knows famous in the field or just talking about random things.
He had no concern about security so he wouldn't talk and coded language really when he was doing something nefarious and when he was all the coded words or the exact same so you don't really have to speculate.
The average person truly is retarded.
Democracy is demonstrably a failure.
@Mr_NutterButter yeah that's straight up what i just replied to this post with haha! an old dude forwarding an email about an article to his brother in 2010 seems pretty fuckin normal to me.
i've noticed a lot of people just don't seem to know how to read emails (anymore) too. i've even gotten a bit tripped up reading these from time to time. like, who is emailing who, where is the forwarded message going, etc. i saw people saying that epstein was the one talking about indoctrinating kids into microtransactions but it was the person he sent bobby kotick's email to that said that, some pablos guy or whatever his name was.
