I think we can assume that among the millions of available documents, some are entirely true, others are completely fabricated, and most fall somewhere in between these two extremes. It would be naive to consider everything as true. We would need to sort through them, but the DOJ has given us no information allowing us to do so. It looks too much like a disinformation tactic not to be suspicious (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firehose_of_falsehood). On the other hand, they took several months before making everything available. One can assume that during that time, they didn’t just sit there with their arms crossed looking at the pile of documents: they likely spent a lot of time modifying documents to limit damage on their end and, in the process, cast doubt on their enemies.

It would indeed be highly implausible for 100% of the documents to be fabricated or AI-generated (and besides, I claimed no such thing), but it is difficult to rule out that some of the available documents are completely fake.

Highlighting this fact is absolutely not ‘helping criminals.’ You say that my hypothesis helps the worst people alive, but can you give me a list of their names? No. These documents serve only to enrage people in a vacuum without pointing a finger on anyone guilty. Very useful for the regime.

Also, it is certainly simpler to believe that ‘all these documents are true’ as you do, but that is not an explanation—and that is not how Occam’s Razor works.

Please note that I am not attacking you or your intentions. I think we’re on the same side.

It’s just a hypothesis. I’m open to counterarguments. Calling someone dumb doesn’t count as one.

Yeah. The article is unfair as it holds AOC to a set of standards much, much higher than any politician in the last 20 years.

Tread carefully, you sound sus.

Are you serious? I’m just throwing an idea here. How can you be so sure all this data is legit, when the DOD had plenty of time to add or remove anything they wanted?

I am NOT a trump supporter, far from it, but I won’t believe something just because it would fit nicely in my worldview.

What I find sus is the fact that they released the files when nothing stopped them from keeping them secret.

He wasn’t murdered. He was beaten up.

The far right has been active in France for a long time, and non violence was never able to stop the movement.

Sometimes, you have to fight back, and I’d argue that violence is warranted against overt Nazis.

I’m sincerely wondering if all these Epstein files are real. Like, it would be a fantastic distraction from ICE, midterm elections meddling and all the rest, to grab random snuff pics from the darkest places of the web, accompanying them with outrageous AI generated descriptions/slop, and let people go crazy over thousands and thousands of documents created this way.

I can’t believe the US government would let people access the Epstein files without having some advantage in doing so.

Judging by the comments, it works!

The single aim of this post if to sow division among those who could unite to defeat the right.

Your comment is exactly what the comic is about.

There are post mortem pics of him in the Epstein files it seems.

And by doing this, journalists would be taking the focus off:

• The Epstein files
• ICE
• Election meddling
• etc.

That’s the plan.

Old guy like me thinks everything interesting has been done with a drum and a guitar, and then young guys like this come out of their garage and prove me wrong. I love it!

I’m not from the US but I’m old enough to remember 9/11, and what’s happening right now in your country seems waaaaay different from then. There was no ICE. People weren’t kidnapped in broad daylight. Bush wasn’t trying to subvert the electoral process. Minorities at large weren’t explicitly targeted.

You have an actual source for this?

40M is nothing to Bezos, and it’s a good investment if it wins him a few favors from Trump.

So is every job interview.

Thanks, you made me realize I need to read from him

Don’t know you, but if you are American, what are you waiting for?

And as a bonus, Poilievre won’t attack him on that. He could have if Carney had explicitly refused.

It will officially be once Waltz orders the state national guard to defend the city from ICE. Which is why he doesn’t.
