    Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.

    And the more I think about it, the more I think there's well over a hundred people with alien fantasies who are gonna show up to this fake thing. I'd put the number at, comfortably, a thousand people who legit think this is an opportunity to prove to their relatives and bosses that they weren't the crazy ones all along. I do think you'll see some political crazies using it as an opportunity to grandstand (like infowars "look at these lizard people!!!" types).

    I think the vast majority of people who will show up will be there just for the shits and giggles... not crazy, not a conspiracy nut, just there because they've got nothing better to do and they have the time/means to go check it out. Kind of like a free, shittier burning man.

    I kinda want them to hit some super advanced alien tech that disables all recording equipment in the area, a single alien walks out, looks at all of the assembled people, and says "Yes, but no one will ever believe you," and then walks back into the facility.

    Probably, but I bet there's still enough crazies who will show up to make it worth their while. There's a small, but very hardcore group of alien awareness types who are 100% serious about this.

    There’s all these weird people willing to do a bunch of stupid shit that could get them killed.

    Let’s just let them.

    Wanna storm the gates of Area 51? Have at it.

    Wanna take some pretty pictures in a pink lake in Russia or something? Cool. Enjoy dying for your influencer status.

    We don’t need these people.

    In the end if shit actually went south, it adds up to a “More air for the rest of us” outcome. So it is definitely win/win for those of us not stupid enough to get involved.

    This could be about to get wild.

    As for the PM, Cameron seems the most "laddish" of the recent ones, but my black horse in this race is Winston Churchill, that time traveling pervert.

    Plausible theory on how Epstein's scam operated.
    tl;dr:
    1. Host fancy parties among the high and mighty where you ensure underage trafficked girls are present.
    2. Wait for one of them to get handsy and take one of the girls into a back room where you have cameras set up.
    3. Spring the blackmail trap in the morning.
    4. Take payment not directly, but by having them invest in your hedge fund (which is basically just stuffing the money in an index fund) and taking a standard management fee.
    5. Hide everything offshore.
    6. You don't want to talk. They don't want to talk. No one blows the whistle to the SEC.

    Nothing unites Americans quite like hatred for those who commit sexual abuse, especially with minors.

    No matter which side of the aisle these fuckers are on, the left will hold the kindling while the right lights the match.

    The way the article marks a distinction between "former Prime Minister" and "world leaders" my guess is either UK or Canada. Those are the only two that Americans are broadly aware of having a PM. Everyone else has a President or a Supreme Leader or a Tsar, or we don't know, we're just ignorant Americans.

    Some countries have a prime minister AND president. Like Russia.

    Putin used to be prime minister.

    Also, 32 countries have prime ministers in the commonwealth. Australia among them.

    Way too many for Americans to remember. You get two. The cold one and the stuffy one.

    I would agree, but that article doesn't come anywhere near showing any of the people they listed were involved. I've seen Bush, Clinton, and Trump all come up repeatedly in different articles. The closest to suggesting any of them were actually involved was one of the prostitutes thought she saw him once. That article added a secret service log review from the Hillary campaign provided by an anonymous source, and given the track record of Vanity, and the dubious way this 'evidence' was offered I don't put a lot of stock into that. One article will claim that Trump and Epstein were best friends, and the next one is claiming the Clinton campaign was afraid Trump was going to exploit the close relationship between Bill and Epstein. Seriously, how much of this are they just pulling out of their ass? The presidents are coming up the most often because they're the biggest names. Now, we can add the British royal family... apparently. Epstein was a billionaire, and knew a pretty long list of other wealthy people and politicians. At this point the media is just carelessly throwing out any name they can because they're incompetent assholes with no scruples. Look at this shit -

    They bolded every name drop in that utterly pointless paragraph. If I was going to pontificate I would wager a lot of the people in that article didn't even know he was a registered sex offender, let alone were actively involved in his sex trafficking ring. I wouldn't be surprised if this scandal drags down a couple other elites, but we have no idea who 'they' are yet.
