Independent experts appointed by human rights council speak of ‘grave’ nature regarding scale of atrocities against women and girls

Millions of files related to the convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a “global criminal enterprise” that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, a panel of independent experts appointed by the United Nations human rights council has said.

The experts said crimes outlined in documents released by the US justice department were committed against a backdrop of supremacist beliefs, racism, corruption and extreme misogyny. The crimes, they said, showed a commodification and dehumanisation of women and girls.

“So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity,” they said in a statement.

    I’ll take the opposite tack from the other guy, Bob Lazar comes off as a skilled liar, and aliens and time travelers require actual evidence.

    The US government did fake 90% of the UFO movement.

    Most of the fucked up story is told here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8F1HnpeQTo

    That’s a Behind the Bastards episode, Part One: How The U.S. Government Used Aliens To Destroy a Man’s Mind.

    The actual truth is more fucked up than the made up conspiracies, but also more boring. Weapons and Weapon Systems. That’s it. Bad ideas and worse coverups.

      Now that sounds way more plausible than Obamas secret Alien Bob Lazers or whatever that other guy was saying.

        Yeah, the story is wild, but also it’s always tied back to nukes.

        An example is cattle mutilation. See, there was a project called “Plowshare” where some people, wanting to have more nukes, tried to find “peaceful” uses for nukes. So, the detonated a nuke, deep underground in the South West, in an effort to fracture the rock and release natural gas.

        This worked, except for the little fact that all the gas was contaminated with radioactive isotopes and was rendered unusable.

        But this gas was leaky, because the ground was nuked, so in order to track the cancers caused, government agents secretly vivisected cattle, mostly to remove lymph nodes to track a common radiation linked cancer. As always, they didn’t tell anyone local that they were doing this, which prompted local authorities and farmers to investigate.

        With some careful prodding, a few hints, and a placed agent or two, the guy investigating was convinced that it was aliens doing experiments.
