It's not a fact, it's just an opinion. Which, in my opinion, and that of others I've referenced, is obviously wrong.
Well if you don't believe it's a fact, perhaps you will be good enough to show us all where the celebration is in the Epstein/Thiel email exchange that you posted (below)

Apart from it being blindingly obvious and visible from space, I've already done that upthread.

We will just have to agree that we have wildly different opinions on this. Which I'm sure you can cope with.

No, you haven't shown us where the celebration is. And now you're trying to dodge doing so. If it was

"blindingly obvious and visible from space"

you'd have no trouble pointing it out

Yes, I have, I'm dodging nothing. Epstein's views are very obvious from the text, in my opinion.

You just disagree, and hold a diametrically opposed opinion.

Again, I'm sure you can cope with that.

No evidence of celebration in Epstein's words (below), that's why it's fake news

return to tribalism . counter to globalization. amazing new alliances. you and I both agreed zero interest rates
were too high, and as i said in your office. finding things on their way to collapse , was much easier than
finding the next bargain

In your opinion.

In other people's, including mine, there very clearly is.

Incidentally, enlarging your text does not make you more convincing.

But he also said , "Brexit, just the beginning".

So a beginning of things getting "easier" for speculators who like their "things" on the way to collapse.
Brexit was a partial collapse.
Funded to a large degree by rich and right wing.


It is a celebration.

:lol:

Laughable. If this was a legal case, and you presented the above as evidence, you'd be laughed out of court.

Think you've wandered into conspiracy theory here, with your wild speculation, but there's still no celebration. Fake news

I never suggested criminality with regard to the Brexit issue.

But he is clearly pleased and sees opportunity to make money from "collapse".

I agree it's boring and also that the whole business is very sad.

The fact that these rich and influential (and criminal) men who make their massive fortunes on the backs of ordinary people should find the idea that a "collapse" a good thing is the terrible aspect.

After all, many made their excessive wealth at a time when things were better economically, that is before the 2008 crash.
But they could never have enough, these types, so as the better times dwindled they turn their attention to promoting collapse.
And the better times, it could be argued, dwindled because of their own greed.
Hence the idea that "zero interest rates were too high"!

Untrue. Epstein never said that collapse was a good thing. His words were

Best to let others decide for themselves if it is "untrue", I think.
