      God, you people are so literal. You know I mean people in power. Get your head out of your ass.

        I mean people in power.

        The Epstein files are largely focused on Western ruling class and the Western political class. No need to drag the other half of the world into this pedo-cult.

          So far… there’s still millions of documents to go and they’ve already uncovered Andrew (formerly Prince) and supposedly the Dalai Lama… so. I say again, the list may be shorter to name those not in it when it’s all over (those rich, famous and powerful for YOU “the dense” PEOPLE)

            A westerner.

            the Dalai Lama…

            Dalai Lama is a known CIA asset. I would consider him to be a Western figure, as his reputation and popularity is largely a Western creation.

            It’s all the usual suspects. If you understand capitalism/imperialism this all points in the same direction.

              Alright, if anyone non-western comes up in the files you’ll automatically label them as western because of any association with imperialism/captilism thereby solidifying your claim? That shit is everywhere! I’d bet the Prince of UAE is on that list. UAE isn’t western, it isn’t even considered westernized, but it is capitalist economy. I’d say it is largely western yes, so far, but give it time… more non-westerners will be exposed because fuckin everybody is on that god damn list!

                Not the Chinese leadership, or the DPRK’s, or Iran. Their point is that compradors that are aligned with western capital seemed awfully eager to be doing cruel shit with Epstein and other elites, while those opposed to them and seeking sovereignty weren’t.

                Are we seriously trying to argue that the UK isn’t western? What are you even trying to say?

                I can’t find Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, but Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem is mentioned very prominently, who has close ties to the Maktoums.
