When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.

Or, as Jefferson proclaimed: "When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty,"

Link is dead? Here is the guardian article

Seems like another lose end cut:

He compared his work to fishing, explaining to Epstein in an email in 2014 that patience was required: “In This busyness I feel like fisherman some time I cache (sic) quick, some time no fish.”

Siad liked to emphasise that the women he had found for Epstein appeared youthful, writing on one occasion: “26 but she look 18”.

Siad was well connected in the modelling world and also worked as a scout on commission for Jean-Luc Brunel, who was the leading agent in Paris, New York and Miami for more than four decades. Brunel killed himself in prison in February 2022, after spending 14 months in custody awaiting trial on charges of rape of minors and sexual harassment, which he denied along with any participation in Epstein’s sex trafficking. Epstein died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking. ... Earlier this year, the former Swedish model Ebba Karlsson accused Siad of rape. She said he had scouted her in her home town of Stockholm, Sweden, in 1990, when she was a 20-year-old model, and later raped her in France. Siad then went by a different name, she said, and she was only able to identify him after seeing images of him in reporting of Epstein files

Responding to the news of Siad’s death, Karlsson told AFP it was “very frustrating”. “He was very close to be arrested. We worked so hard for this, trying to have justice.”

It's good to see youth on the move and I congratulate their bravery. I just hope more political engagement will grow from that, and that it bears fruit.

And the same I wish for the US, and the EU

"Plaintiffs have no answer for the fact that the lead Plaintiff, President Trump, directs and controls the Defendants," the reply goes on. "That alone renders this lawsuit non-adversarial, collusive, and jurisdictionally improper."

Well said. Let's hope for the best.
