‘It isn’t a crime to party with Mr. Epstein’
So The Hill just served up more fodder for ostracizm. Their story begins, “Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said Monday that there is a chance anyone who attended parties with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein could be prosecuted but noted that “it isn’t a crime to party with Mr. Epstein.””. Thanks for the reminder, Mr. Blanche. It’s not a crime to party, associate with, employ, or even marry someone with a former conviction for a sex offense, but the sentiment here is that being seen with the wrong person is apparently the social equivalent of being a criminal. Never mind whether you actually did anything illegal — if you attended the same event, suddenly you’re treated like you invented crime itself. That cultural panic is exactly what we’re fighting against here at FAC.
Remember our January 13 weekly update? We talked about how stigma has metastasized so thoroughly that it doesn’t just stick to the person who served their time — it leaps off them like glitter from a craft table and stains anyone who refuses to join the social shunning parade. Friends, family, employers, landlords — suddenly everyone gets labeled because society decided association is tantamount to intent. That’s not just bad public policy — it makes no sense for public safety, which is supposed to be the real goal of the registry.
After the DOJ released its latest batch of documents, dozens of big names have paid the price for exchanging an email or merely being in the same place at the same time as Jeffrey Epstein. And the question practically begs to be asked: what exactly is the crime here? If they weren’t doing anything illegal—if they were talking politics, business, philanthropy, or simply being a friend or acquaintance — what is it we’re actually punishing? Proximity? Poor networking instincts? Why can’t anyone stand up and say, “yeah, I know the guy, I condemn what he did, I have nothing to do with it, but I know him in the a different context and I’m not going to abandon a friend or turn down a party invitation because he’s going to be there”? Somewhere along the way, we’ve decided that association alone is enough to trigger public shaming, career destruction, and moral condemnation, even in the absence of evidence of wrongdoing. That logic may feel emotionally satisfying, but it’s also reckless. It replaces facts with vibes and due process with social-media verdicts. And once we accept that simply knowing the “wrong” person is disqualifying, none of us are very far from the blast radius.
If the current cultural logic holds up, we might as well ban people who once rode the same bus, because obviously the stigma is contagious like the flu. It’s past time we stop acting like guilt by proximity is a valid legal or moral doctrine. People who have served their sentences and are working to rebuild their lives should not be treated like radioactive waste, and anyone who supports them shouldn’t be viewed as reckless public enemies either. That kind of thinking destroys livelihoods, tears apart families, and replaces nuanced judgment with mob-style reactions. If we want safer, healthier communities, the solution isn’t to shun people — it’s to give them the tools to succeed, not the scarlet letter of association. Let’s start changing the narrative for real.

Oh, please, just drop the innocent act already.
We all know the rules by now:
If you’re accused of a sex crime → you’re guilty.
If you’re married to someone accused of a sex crime → you’re guilty.
If you’re the child of someone accused → congrats, you’re guilty too.
If you’re a friend, a distant cousin, or even just someone who once liked their Facebook post → guilty by association.
If you employed them, worked with them, or—God forbid—sat in the same pew at church with them → you’re basically an accomplice in the court of public opinion.
There are now more ways to catch a guilt-by-association sex-crime charge than there were ways to supposedly catch COVID at the absolute peak of that glorious pandemic circus.
At this point they might as well just hand out “Guilty: Adjacent Edition” participation trophies and save everyone the paperwork. 🙄
YES, so true. This is a good thing. So GET photos of yourself and pupic figures that want to tear us down and talk shit. Then send those pics to the news and ask Dose so and so support sex offenders? Stick the sigma to them and their carreers. Guilt by association. Can destroy political carreers, so take them down.
I could see that backfiring.
My husband’s oldest friend since childhood attended dinner parties with JE.
He was in marketing and involved in the network of retailers including Wexner…The Limited, Victoria’s Secret, Bath n Body) in Columbus OH that met for various events. The interest concerning JE was financial, nothing else as far as our friend knows.
This one single issue is THE one being used in the Agenda 2030 reset. It’s easy to get weak easily influenced dumbed down minds to jump on the band wagon. The mafia is entirely well-versed in mind control tactics as they have been developing them for millennia. They know human nature.
This is why they CONjured the animal registry too. Same brainwashing psyop. Every uninformed animal lover has the same knee-jerk reaction to animal abuse. My reaction is always the same….a harmed person who harms an animal or anyone has been traumatized to the extent of damage. They need healing therapy and love, not judgement.
“For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.”
Romans 3:23
Meaning: Our ego has free will how we use the Inner Chi within us. Some call it the “higher self”. When we do good things to help others, the Inner Chi/Energy shines, is glorified. When intentional harm is done to others, the Chi is dark, the Light is dimmed.
Intentional harm includes judging others. The manipulators have perfected trapping people into judging others. It’s a 2 for 1 deal.
Judgment harms your Self way more than it harms the ones you judge. This one single tool is preventing humanity from ascending to the higher vibrational level that is our birthright.
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.“
Matthew 7:1
Karma brings balance. Cause and effect. What you vibe out is reflected back exponentially bigger due to momentum because Energy is always moving and spinning. I could expound further but this is the critically need to know knowledge.
Thoughts are things. Thoughts manifest into words and actions. Guard your thoughts. That goes for EVERY hueman.
“More than anything you guard, protect your mind for life flows from it.“
-Proverbs 4:23
We are Creators. We create our reality.
Be careful what you wish for. What your wish for others comes to you too. See how the cycle is perpetuated?
This is not directed to adherents to a single political party, because I’ve seen it from BOTH sides for many years now. But I don’t feel bad that those who promoted the crazy online conspiracies and called members of one political party the P-word or defenders of the P-word, and tried linking them with Epstein’s crimes, is finally getting a dose of their own medicine.
We have had our own share of having the guilt by association label throwb at anti-registry activists and concerned citizens who believe the registry has gone too far. Like back when Lauren Book was hitting me with SLAPP suits back in 2017/2018 where she called those associated with me in any way “p**ophile, s*xual pr*dator compatriots”.
I want to make this clear, BOTH political parties have folks in “those’ files. It is not about politics but aboyt the rich, and it seems Epstein himself was involved in the creation AND promotion of certain high-profile political conspiracies. Seems to me that Epstein was engaging in the biggest case of projection in human history.
He was not convicted until much later in his life well after many party pics were taken and posted possibly. The guilt by association long afterward when things became public is wrong by those who judge and have skeletons most likely in their closet too they wouldn’t want the world to know of either. The man was very smart and tried to use that to his advantage whether in NM or the Caribbean, but to assume every instance or every instance captured on film was perverted is immature at best.
Should this not extend to Slick Willy, as an example, given his history and those who have hung with him? Where is that guilt by association?
Wait until the pics are released of those who are with Diddy after he is released and the crushing wave of judgement from those pics that hits those folks who were there during those party times or even those who just associated with him for business deals during those times. The hypocrisy and judgement in this country is sickening.
So, start getting your picture taken with very pubic people, Like at a Gala or other event. Then leak those photos to the news, with are they after your kids to? And let the glitter effect kill off there status and carreers. Show them how it is to be convicted by pubic opinion by proxsimity. A photo can speak much louder than the truth. Use there game against them. Have a good day.
YES!!
