Un-redacted text from released documents began circulating on social media on Monday evening

People examining documents released by the Department of Justice in the Jeffrey Epstein case discovered that some of the file redaction can be undone with Photoshop techniques, or by simply highlighting text to paste into a word processing file.

Un-redacted text from these documents began circulating through social media on Monday evening. An exhibit in a civil case in the Virgin Islands against Darren K Indyke and Richard D Kahn, two executors of Epstein’s estate, contains redacted allegations explaining how Epstein and his associates had facilitated the sexual abuse of children. The exhibit was part of the second amended complaint in the state case against Indyke and Kahn.

    One of the documents talked about how Trump and Epstein were involved in the rape of a 14 year old and the murder of her baby so… yes.

      Though that one had the most critical information unredacted. Certainly worth highlighting that particular document regardless, but technically not an answer to the question about redactions.

      These are witness statements with evidence?

      They used Russian propaganda techniques to deal with this, polarization, gas lighting, every trick in the book. Now the lines are so blurred, nobody knows what to believe, which is the true stated goal and accomplishment.

      If you’re American- realize that you live in the most heavily propagandized nation on the planet earth. Yes, worse than Russia, China and North Korea.

      It’s just the end results, achievements, goals are not aligned with what we might traditionally perceive as the end goals of propaganda. This includes corporate and government sponsored forms.

          He’s managed so far to have a pretty damning pile of evidence against him, to openly use the presidential office for personal financial gain (like billions, openly) to no avail. Even going as far as openly discussing no elections in 28’. It is playbook Russian propaganda tactics.

          Which agency will physically remove the guy from the White House in 28’? If he captures that agency it’s game over for democracy in the USA?

          Corporate propaganda pushes 10,000 ads on the typical american per day.

          This leads to the most psychologically optimized persuasion (see propaganda) on the Earth- except it’s not just commerical but includes privately funded algorithmic political, but overt and subtle.

          Much of American culture is advertising, branding and political posturing.
