Zone1 Hackers Unredact Epstein Files — What You Need To Know

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

So I found this interesting primarily because I've redacted documents myself, some more effectively than others, but also because of my background in digital forensics. It's horrible, that the DOJ on one hand, in its attempt to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA) have "inadvertently" disclosed the identity of at least one of the victims, while blacking out entire pages of information and the entire photograph that are displayed on page after page, on the other.

I am personally familiar with this response from our federal government upon being compelled to disclosure information that they obviously feel may be damaging to the government itself or specific individuals within the government. But it's also intriguing what they DON'T redact, not to give anything away.

In any case, there are apparently a significant amount of people who are hard at work uncovering what the government has taken measures to attempt to conceal. I'm particularly interested in the recovered hard drives content and if steganography was used on any of the files.

They weren't "hacked". You can just copy from the PDF, paste into a word processor like Notepad, and the redacted portion becomes visible.

my question would be ....why do any redacting if it can be easily shown?...

No idea. I'm sure it wasn't intentional. Someone just screwed up when they converted the text to a PDF. I think they've fixed it since a couple days ago.

i would think the people who did the redacting would know these little tricks.....

You would think, but apparently they have fixed that problem. I tried copying and pasting some of the redacted text, and it no longer works. It did work a few days ago.

I'm absolutely sure that I would never trust the truthfulness of any organization that took pride in 'hacking'.

That's the headline grabber - but the important dirt here is who was collecting all this info and what they were doing with it. Lots of powerful people have been compromised. Who's pulling their strings?

For starters, they can't become King of England ever again.

What more do you want done to them?

The sad part about all of this is the following

1. Those most interested in the Epstein files, and who are in a position to expose them, only want to use them to put away Trump. The problem is, pretty much all the pictures thus far has Bill Clinton in them, someone we all know will never be held to any account for anything.

2. Democrats nor Republicans want everyone involved held to account, because it would hurt them financially and politically because these are the uber rich fat cats around the world, thus none of it will ever be used to seek proper justice for any of them. In fact, Biden and the DNC sat on these files for how long? Keep in mind that they hate Trump with a passion, so why did they not pursue him with the Epstein files they had in their possession? Is it because TDS is all a ruse, and Trump is really one of them, or is it because they wanted to hide other bad actors that they value too much politically to expose those files? It is really an either or question.

3. The files exposed to the public would then be used to prosecute those people on social media, which would probably lead to more vigilantly justice Charlie Kirk style, or the health care CEO in New York as people no longer view the justice system as just, especially when it comes to the wealthy.

4. There is nothing that can be done to right the wrongs of what happened to those girls, or if there is, it would be few and far between. The 600 lb. gorilla in the room is, human trafficking today is at an all-time high around the world, yet no one makes a peep about doing anything about it. It is comparable to the DNC crying crocodile tears for slaves that lived 200 plus years ago in the US and pretending they can right those wrongs with reparations to their descendants. But the funniest part of all is, they don't even have to be descendants, all they have to do is have the same skin color as those slave descendants. Having said that, neither political party in the US seems to give a damn. Why is that? Meanwhile, at no other time in human history have there been more slaves in the world than there is now, but once again, there is no political movement out there who is attempting to address this.

who is talking about ******* england?.......and what i want done to them if they were molesting girls under 17?.....******* drop them in the middle of the pacific ocean.....laugh at that votto....

Ever heard of Prince Andrew dolt? Tackling that one issue would be a nightmare for either political party in the US, let alone how many more like him in the mix, hence the problem.

As for fish food, anyone you don't like just put then on a speed boat in the Gulf of Trump and all your problems will vanish overnight. But if not, the DNC will have them out of jail in under a week.

Interestingly enough, even though the Royal family has all but admitted his guilt by pushing him away from Royal, if you are an average citizen and call Prince Andrew a pedophile, you wind up in jail.

Funny that.

But hey, you can still yell, "Death to the Jews!" in England and nothing ever happens to you, so there is that.

Not much. One reason is that the statute of limitations has gone years ago. For the second reason, there can be no prosecution without a victim. The majority of these victims don't want to be identified. That's why their names are redacted. You, unfortunately, don't get to tell them what to do.

Don't you worry your pretty little head about the Epstein files, as those in the Swamp are hot on the trail since the Biden administration!
