Who's following the Sascha Riley case?

Sascha Riley, a decorated Iraq war veteran, has come forward with detailed allegations about child trafficking and abuse within the Epstein network. Journalist Lisa Noelle Volding has published his full testimony.

Check out Voldeng's substack.

Lisa Noelle Voldeng (@lvoldeng): " JEDI ALERT: One of the male victims I'm helping fought back after Trump had another victim murdered in front of him. Trump raped him right after, and he fought back by kicking a tent stake into Trump's anus. Trump was airlifted out of the location, and retaliated weeks later b…" https://share.google/7xweDzHM6sGMA9nTl

I posted elsewhere that he is believable. He talks like a person who is telling the truth.

Now, I might be fooling myself. So I'm thinking: what motivation would he have to lie?

Money?

I don't think so, because he is putting a target on his head, no matter where in the world he relocates to.

His interview is very detailed, and his anger rises when speaking of Biggs. That sounds real to me.

I've been fooled before, but I'll tell you, I don't see what would motivate him to lie.

if the things he said are indeed true, it's enough to cause a person to question humanity. It's enough to make you want to live on another planet.

i keep asking myself...why would he lie? Why would he put himself at risk by lying?

The answer I keep coming up with is: He wouldn't.

actually are. I keep seeing links to audio files I don't have time right now to listen to and even if I did, I don't know who is who and how they "mesh" with each other contextually.

Can you just give us an overview--starting at the beginning?

Riley is an Army vet - decorated, I believe. Served in combat early 2000s.

He alleges he was trafficked in the Epstein ring and the most heinous and horrid of crimes by those involved, including murder. Seems his story is just coming out.

You can also Google him

that another soldier was caught in possession of a child porn tape, and that a person in the tape looked a lot like Riley probably looked when he was younger.

It's so outrageous I don't know whether to believe it.

Sascha is supposedly testifying before House oversight committee today.

Perpetrator names I've read include Jim Jordan, Clarence Thomas, Lindsay Graham, trump.

Although I have to admit that I almost cheered when he kicked the wooden pole that put the pig in the hospital. But that was enough. I had to stop reading after that.

When I saw the names I thought it makes sense. Why else would so many of a party in power decide to resign? Why does an entire party sit back and watch while a corrupt pig destroys the country and our standing in the world.
This is the only thing that I see could make them do that.
