The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

So let's get the information to the right people and then be patient while they uncover actionable facts and not the wild theories of some ignorant folks on some little discussion board in some little backwater site of the internet.

Yes, but....don't we already know that this has happened?

I mean, what we're talking about is information that is in the files of the FBI and the DOJ. It's gotten to the right people. They initiated a big criminal case against Epstein in 2019, and a second one against Maxwell - it's not like they didn't go out and uncover actionable facts. It seems highly unlikely that these women didn't get asked about their experiences by the FBI previously just in the course of those investigations. In the highly unlikely event that these women didn't have the chance to talk to the FBI in 2019, they certainly have the chance now (with a half dozen or more Congressbeings from both parties behind them). The right people have already gotten the information.

Implicit in all of this is the conspiracy theory that the FBI was given this information and chose to sit on it. That they're corrupted by politics and/or the Deep State, to the point where they would choose to cover up direct testimonial evidence of child rape rather than act on it? The FBI, which brings criminal cases against Senators and Congressmen and many rich people all the time over lots of financial and white collar crimes wouldn't be stirred to action by child rape? It's the belief that these specific rich and powerful people are too rich and powerful for even the FBI to touch.
