The Conservative Cave

Don't confuse the DUmmies with facts!!!

In the US, far less repercussions but it is starting in the corporate, financial and academic world. Earlier, a Goldman Sachs top exec, Kathryn Ruemmler, resigned.

I think the Epstein files are going to bring the whole regime down.

We are already seeing it unravel, maybe not at a pace fast enough for us, but it is happening. It has started in Europe with several people resigning or even being investigated, depending on how involved they were with Epstein.
In some countries, the mere mention of your name in these files is enough to get you to resign, even if you may not have been directly involved with sex crimes, you are still associated with a criminal.

In the US, far less repercussions but it is starting in the corporate, financial and academic world. Earlier, a Goldman Sachs top exec, Kathryn Ruemmler, resigned.

Likewise affected were Brad Karp of the Paul Weiss law firm, David A. Ross from the School of Visual Arts in NYC, and Larry Summer,s who stopped teaching at Harvard and went on leave in November of last year.

Now, given that most right-wing politicians have no shame, moral fiber, or principles, this may take a bit longer to start affecting our "ruling class". Lutnick is under fire and being pressured to resign, for example.

Still, I am convinced heads are going to roll, and Trump won't be able to escape consequences.

It may well have been the glue that held all these clowns together. We were always wondering why Trump had such a hold on the GOP. The answer may be that he has blackmail on most of them who were connected one way or another to Epstein. It sounds like a significant fraction of the ruling elite was involved.

Could we bypass 1917 Russia and go straight to 1938 Russia?

I'm not going to whitewash the Tories' failure to hold people accountable for the betrayal of Britain's young women in the decades-long rape gang scandal.

Tens or hundreds of thousands of British girls were...it's impossible to describe the horrors they faced, or the betrayal by the governments involved. If many of us had our way, the wood chippers could be kept busy for years as they dispensed justice to everybody involved.

But the current malefactors are the Labour government, which has been doing everything it can to slow-walk the inquiry into what happened and who was responsible for the betrayals. No doubt one of the main reasons is that Labour politicians are deeply implicated, as is Keir Starmer himself.

Starmer, you see, was head of the Crown Prosecution Service at the height of the abuses, and it isn't really clear that all the abuses have stopped yet. He opposed the idea of conducting any inquiry, calling it "far-right," and reversed course only because the political pressure was too intense to ignore.

When I say that Labour is slow-walking the process, I am not exaggerating. The official report will not be released until 2029, five years after it was initially authorized under great pressure.

Britain needs to understand the sophisticated level of coordination between the rape gangs - it goes far deeper than anybody realises.

A national crime network, of the most depraved kind.

Our inquiry is finding evidence of advanced links between dozens and dozens of towns and cities.

This is not simply dispersed groups of savages.

This is coordinated, right across the country. The tactics are well rehearsed, and well drilled. They know EXACTLY what they are doing.
...
And there is ZERO appetite in Westminster or the media to even discuss it.
