When I first saw a tweet about the Bash Reference Manual being part of Epstein files, I simply thought of it as a joke.

And then there were more tweets. As a Linux user and an open source enthusiast, I was curious and I had to find out if there was any truth in it.

The truth is that indeed Bash Reference Manual is part of the Epstein Files released by the U.S. Department of Justice. You can access it here.

NOTHING IS SAFE LMFAO

At the same time I’m kind of shocked how much of these emails happens on seemingly regular @gmail.com or @yahoo.com addresses.

So much for Snowden's revelations about PRISM. All that digital surveilance and yet they don't catch the pedos and traffickers with it. Curious.

Or maybe not so curious...

Well yeah, he's probably on a filterlist at NSA so his emails were not logged.

Same thing happened to the Labour adjustments to the review on dragnet surveilance in the UK. They just added "Union members can't be tracked" instead of fucking doing something decent.

And we're seeing how the current Labour party in power is behaving regarding this; by having had Peter "Epstein is my great friend" Mandelson in positions of power until people started to care too much.
