Independent experts appointed by human rights council speak of ‘grave’ nature regarding scale of atrocities against women and girls

Millions of files related to the convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a “global criminal enterprise” that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, a panel of independent experts appointed by the United Nations human rights council has said.

The experts said crimes outlined in documents released by the US justice department were committed against a backdrop of supremacist beliefs, racism, corruption and extreme misogyny. The crimes, they said, showed a commodification and dehumanisation of women and girls.

“So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity,” they said in a statement.

      Pizza-gaters never actually cared about children. Pizza-gate was never more than a fictionel club to swing at democrats. Now that their own team is being credibly accused of child rape they assume it is a lie as well.

      That’s the genius of the GOP. They craft all these lies accusing the Democrats of crimes that Republicans are actively committing. Then when their own crimes come to light, the GOP base assumes that the accusations against the Republicans are also lies and dismiss them without thought.

      Every accusation is a confession is literally the GOP modus operandi.

        Well it was a Democrat who’s files were leaked. But they were good friends with pedophile Dennis Hastert ®.

        Democrat power player David Brock’s ex boyfriend’s Instagram account posts were far from fictional.

        I should add that apart from the nature of the (alleged) crimes, there doesn’t seem to be a link between Epstein and Pizzagate.

        Gaslight obstruct project.

        If you project it on your ‘enemies’ the people get desensitized to a concept over time and eventually ‘both sides’ it so they can palate (sp?) excusing it in their ‘own’

      TBH, probably pissed, but the media and botfarms that were amping their nonsense before don’t want to now. So we’re not hearing them. That’s why Trump is so desperate to meddle with midterms, he knows that in a fair election he’s fucked. He is absurdly unpopular.

      But never forget Trump’s buddy Thiel’s thoughts about that. They fully plan on making peaceful revolution impossible…

      Moot(4chan owner) met Epstein and created the /pol/ board the same day. Q anon was created on 4chan.com/pol/ a couple years later.

      Epstein seems to be using “pizza and grape soda”, “muffins”, “muffin batter”, “baking spray”, “jerky” and possibly other words as code words, they’re used in very strange ways some of which only make sense refering to something else.

      So this is probably a calculated strategy of creating Q to paint any leaks or future accusations as ridiculous like that stupid Q from 4chan. Mix some truth with ridiculous lies and send anyone interested down an embarrassing dead end. The UFO strategy.

      Presumably chillin with the “The gubbmint’s buildin FEMA death camps!” people…now that the government is building death camps.

      It’s really irritating. It’s some incredible psy-ops to make the conspiracy theorist crowd not constantly be screaming “I told you so” from the rooftops when they were even partially correct.
