I guess we will never find out what's on those CDs and hard drives.
Among the images shown to the jury in Ghislaine Maxwell’s underage sex-trafficking trial was one showing a safe found in a fifth-floor dressing room that was sawed open by the FBI and contained hard drives, CDs, diamonds, a large amount of US currency, and passports belonging to Epstein

I just want the guy managing ressources to not be plowing children.
That's their goal.
If people stop believing in government, private industry is the only alternative.
And if you've got some dream of an autonomous commune in mind, forget it. They would smash you just to keep the thugs in practice.
If you've ever trusted any of them you're naive. That's what all that stuff with democracy, rule of law, separation of powers and checks and balances is about. You only get power for a limited amount of time with clearly defined conditions and accountability. I know it has never really worked that way in the US but right now they're even dropping all pretense.

Probably shouldn't do that to begin with.

I hope they do. On purpose.
