Ghislaine Maxwell found guilty
Chomper Higgot replied to Chomper Higgot's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
Post trial cometary by Informed commentators (ie those who have real experience of prosecuting serious crimes) suggests that the prosecution deliberately limited the prosecution case in order to make a clear and simple case before the jury. Prince Andrew’s civil case brought by Virginia Giuffre is currently before the court. Immediately after the Maxwell verdict the judge in the Giuffe v Windsor case ordered that the Giuffe/Epstein settlement shall be unsealed on January 4th. So now Maxwell can hear the clock ticking, she has to calculate if she wants to cut a deal and give up information in exchange for leniency against the possibility that January 4th will reveal information that undermines her own value to prosecutors. There are other possibilities: Prosecutors might already have all of Maxwell’s information, or prosecutors might not willing to do a deal with her. The least likely scenario (imho) is prosecutors shutting down an investigation into such a high profile case with such widespread public interest. -

‘The age of consent is not a ‘red herring argument’. As a general rule, if you come across a report or claim regarding a conspiracy check the validity before passing it on: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/fact-focus-misinformation-persists-after-maxwell-trial-ends/2021/12/31/78db7f86-69f8-11ec-9390-eae241f4c8b1_story.html -

“As silly as an actress going to a producer's hotel room at midnight after drinks in a bar, and thinking it's really about a movie script.” ‘Silly’ you say, but it wasn’t actresses, it was minors trafficked for sex. And here you are blaming the victims. -

The abused where minors at the time they were abused. As minors they cannot give consent to sex with an adult. A sexual abuser cannot ‘compensate’ a minor they have sexually abused. What you think she did or did not do is irrelevant, she had been found guilty by the jury in an open court of law. As for “Always seems to be years later, when they realize they can squeeze more money out of the system, by claiming 'abuse'.” Wrong again. Maxwell was charged and found guilty of heinous criminality, her prosecution was in a criminal court and has nothing to do with anyone seeking to ‘squeeze more money out of the system’. In short your comments are factually incorrect, blaming minors for the heinous crimes committed against them and offering cover for a vile sexual abuser. Let me repeat this because you clearly not get it: Adults committing sex acts with minors is always a crime, adults trafficking minors for sexual is always a crime. Have a word with yourself. -

Thanks for posting, I enjoyed that. -
The jury has found her guilty on four counts, she’s going to spend the rest of what was her gilded life behind bars: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/dec/29/ghislaine-maxwell-sex-trafficking-trial-verdict

Omicron is here is it time to get boosted?
Chomper Higgot replied to yogi yogi's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
You mentioned ‘speculation’, and did so without an ounce of introspection. -
You are playing semantics. Vaccinations greatly reduce the probability of infection*, serious illness, hospitalization and death from COVID. The gap in infections, serious illnesses, hospitalizations and deaths between for vaccinated v unvaccinated individuals is what the vaccines have prevented. *For the record: No vaccine prevents infection, pick any vaccine for any virus; the virus has to enter the body (infect the body) before the immune system starts to fight it. Infection is not the measure of a vaccine’s success, vaccines are measured on their ability to prevent the diseases that arise when the infection gets past the immune system. Infection is not the same thing as disease. https://www.who.int/news-room/feature-stories/detail/vaccine-efficacy-effectiveness-and-protection https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/infectious-diseases/in-depth/germs/art-20045289

1. I’m not in fear of anyone. 2. You are injecting truth, you are cherry picking to misrepresent fact. 3. ‘Liberal new world order’ ‘Woke multicultural agenda’ - What on earth are you on about and whatever it is you are on about, what has it got to do with anything in this thread or even this sub-forum?

People scared of taking a jab of a safe and effective vaccine insinuating others are cowards is hypocrisy writ large. -

“Considering the number of vaxxed and boosted people that are getting it is still not shown that a booster shot has much of an effect.” Unless of course you look at the incidence of serious illness, hospitalization and deaths. (All the stuff rational people wish to avoid). -

“I am amazed about the number of cowardly old folk though. And whom appear to have no shame in displaying their fearful nature. When I was young, men didn't ever show fear.” Easy enough to call others cowards…. from behind your keyboard: https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/mid-south/102-year-old-wwii-hero-becomes-first-veteran-at-missouri-va-hospital-to-get-covid-vaccine/ -

Superstition of the Middle Ages was banished with science, the linked article is written by an adherent of 21st Century ‘Wellness’ superstitions attempting to banish science. It’s a stream of utter nonsense.
