“What Are They Hiding? Epstein Files Could Explode Washington And They are Almost Public”

The Jeffrey Epstein case is not a political game or made up story.

its real. More than 1000 Survivors have come forward.

They deserve justice not silence.

The government is holding back thousands of pages of documents the full story of who was involved who looke other way and who need to held accountable.

Survivors Are Speaking Out

Last Week we held press conference with both Democrats and Republicans including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green standing alongside survivors of Epstein abuse.

when will the Epstein files be released

Justice Department Epstein investigations

Marina Lacerda was 14 when Epstein start abusing her.

Anouska De Georgious another survivor said

“The only reason to oppose this bill is to cover up wrongdoing”

Some desire to treat this like partisan issues.

Its not American across board left right and center agree on this.

No one should be above law specially when it comes to abusing kids.

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie to force a vote in Congress to release Epstein files.

Our petition has 216 of 218 needed signature.

Once two new members of Congress are sworn in we have votes we need.

The White House added we do not need petition because Department of Justice DOJ is helping the Oversight Committee get files.

The DOJ gave Congress 33000 pages so far.

Less than 1% of totl Epstein records.

Only 3% of what they gave us is new.

when will the Epstein files be released

Justice Department Epstein investigations

We latest asked Epstein estate to hand over document a birthday book put together by Ghisliane Maxwell for Epstein 50th birthday a collection of letters and text from powerful person.

One of those from Trump.

He said it did not exist. This week we made it public.

Almost 70$ of American think the government is not announcing the truth regarding about Epstein.

We have seen to many cases where rich and powerful get away with everything everyday people suffer.

Survivors are ignore. Files are hidden and justice is delayed.

We can not be honest about this how can people trust government on anything else from health care to jobs to basic safety.

When our bill gets to floor every member of Congress have to make a option.

Stand with survivors or protect the powerful.

Ther is no middle ground.

What is the number of ALDI stores in New York?

According to the company’s website, there are 137 locations around the state of New York. They are located in the Rochester area as follows:

Fairport, located at 6687 Pittsford-Palmyra Road
Gates: 3600 Mount Read Blvd. and 714 Long Pond Road; Gates, Greece: 8 Spencerport Road
Irondequoit: 1733 East Ridge Road and 2194 Hudson Ave.

Rochester: 3170 Chili Avenue, Suite T3, 400 Lake Avenue, and 175 North Winton Road

1925 South Clinton Avenue in Brighton;

615 Jefferson Road in Henrietta

Webster: Ridge Road, 915

Which ALDI goods are going to be less expensive?

Previously $1.89, Clancy’s Chili Lime Potato Chips are now $1.79.

Formerly $4.39, Friendly Farms: 2% Ultra-Filtered Milk is now $3.89.

The Protein Pancake Mix from Millville is now $3.49 instead of $3.79.

Previously $6.29, Mama Cozzi’s: Mini Pizza Bagels are now $5.99.

Previously $1.59, Summit: Popz Prebiotic Soda is now $1.49.

At ALDI, value is not a fad. ALDI Chief Commercial Officer Scott Patton stated in a news release on June 5 that “it’s been in our DNA since we opened our first store nearly 50 years ago.”

“We’re going above and beyond this summer to provide more of what makes us unique—excellent products at the most competitive costs.

We want to do everything we can to assist customers enjoy more summer by lowering the prices of the best-selling items in every aisle.

The discount grocery store chain ALDI claims that by lowering the cost of over 400 items in all 2,400 of its locations in the United States, customers will save $100 million over the course of the summer.

In a statement, CEO Jason Hart said, “We want to do everything we can to help shoppers enjoy more of summer by lowering the prices of the season’s best-loved products in every aisle.”

“It’s just one more way we’re stepping up our efforts to help customers load their carts with fantastic deals.”

About 25% of ALDI’s products, including as fresh meat, organic fruit, snacks, and other staples, will now be less expensive for customers, the business announced.

Recent statements and advertisements indicate that the German grocery store has already reduced the cost of the following items, among others:

Red grapes: $1.29 per pound (was $1.99)
Blueberries: $1.89 per piece (was $2.99)
Cantaloupe: reduced from $2.19 to $1.99
Organic Simply Nature Tortilla Chips: $1.69 (previously $1.85)
With food costs rising 2.8% over the 12 months ending in April, according to statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, ALDI’s action comes as food inflation continues to put a strain on American customers’ budgets.

“We’re working hard to unlock even more value for our shoppers, just in time for summer’s lineup of holidays and gatherings where food takes center stage,”

Hart added, despite the fact that customers may notice higher costs at other stores.

Over the past ten years, ALDI has grown rapidly in the United States, as seen by the 2023 acquisition of 400 Winn-Dixie and Harveys outlets.

In 2024, it opened 120 additional locations, and this year, it intends to open another 225.

Aldi has its consumers’ best interests in mind.

The budget grocery store business, which originated in Germany and currently has locations throughout the Southern United States, understands how to make its patrons happy, and not just with their Specialty Selected Vanilla Super Premium Ice Cream.

Aldi has declared that it will be lowering the cost of about 25% of its merchandise.

Yes, in order to make your grocery spend a little lower when you go to the register, they are actually cutting the cost of over 400 items, including vegetables and meat.

Aldi has consistently taken a slightly different approach. In addition to requiring consumers to “rent” shopping carts, they mostly sell private label goods, which they adore (pickle chips, for example).

Aldi is one of the most popular shopping destinations in the South because they are able to lower their costs when other grocers are rising theirs.

“ALDI storefront promoting summer discounts on over 400 products”

Even though the business is well-known for offering some of the lowest costs in the industry, they are now lowering them even further. Customers in the South may save a significant amount of money thanks to Aldi’s announcement that prices on several of its products will be lowered by up to 33%.

Scott Patton, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi, told USA Today that summer is for camping, grilling, attending concerts, and spending time with loved ones rather than worrying about grocery expenditures.

“That’s why we decided to offer even lower prices on ALDI favorites all summer long.”

Julius Malema, the head of the far-left Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) of South Africa, was seen in the video yelling, “Kill the Boer, kill the farmer.”

False Implication: Although the EFF is not in power and only has 9.5% of parliamentary seats, Trump implied that Malema was a government figure.

Why Does the Myth of the “White Genocide” Still Exist?

Far-right parties have long promoted the disproven conspiracy notion of a white genocide in South Africa. Important details:

Although farm killings are a severe problem, they don’t only afflict white farmers.

Systemic persecution is denied by the South African government, and the genocide claim is not supported by crime data.

Trump’s 2018 asylum offer to white South African farmers drew harsh criticism for being politically driven.

The Diplomatic Reaction of Ramaphosa

Trump’s allegations were denied by President Ramaphosa and his entourage. Agriculture Minister John Steenhuisen (Democratic Alliance) said the government coalition was formed in order to prevent the EFF from gaining power.

Ramaphosa’s attempt to mend the strained U.S.-South Africa relationship, which had been exacerbated by Trump’s previous criticism of South Africa’s foreign policy and land reform initiatives, included the meeting.

Conclusion: The Peril of False Information in International Relations

Trump’s use of fabricated and deceptive proof demonstrates how misinformation may influence global affairs.

The “white genocide” narrative is a lie that perpetuates divide, even while white South Africans deal with issues relating to crime.

Questions and Answers (FAQs)

1. Is South Africa truly experiencing a “white genocide”?
No. There is no proof of a purposeful genocide against white farmers, despite the fact that violent crime affects all South Africans.

2. What was the real source of Trump’s photos and videos?
Not from South Africa, but from the DRC conflict, were some of the pictures.

Instead of being a graveyard, the “mass grave” footage was a memorial site.

Less than 10% of parliamentary seats are held by the opposition EFF party, which is led by Malema.

Government policy is not reflected in his extreme rhetoric.
