Epstein was one of the most well-connected people on the planet. Being named in the Epstein files isn't an incrimination. It's what they're named doing and in what context. Obama is all over them but it's just people complaining about him in emails, right.
This isn't to say the Dalai Lama didn't do anything wrong, I don't know that. But just being 'named' means nothing.

@Younameit It's like concentric circles of awareness.
1. Active participants
2. Aware and somewhat involved
3. Aware but not involved
4. Somewhat aware
5. Not aware
And the issue is nobody had an excuse to be at level 5 after 2008, and anyone who had any friendly engagements with him after 2010 is complicit.
Looks like the Dalai Lama probably visited his island around 2012-ish. There's no indication he hurt any girls, but rather, was certainly not bothered by the fact there's this dude with a private island with questionably young women everywhere and a lot of legal trouble surrounding statutory rape and sex trafficking.

@CountScrofula Yeah, then that’s really messed up if he saw those things. I haven’t gone down the rabbit hole with these files cause I don’t have the stomach for it. But the fact that these famous people are now being exposed is an amazing thing. But unfortunately it will never erase the damage to the victims.

@Younameit No, and more importantly, if nothing happens to the people who did this, it means that this problem is not corrected.
The wealthy and powerful are sexually assaulting young women because they want to and the only reason we're where we are is that Epstein was ludicrously, grotesquely over the top about it and was for decades. So what do you do about someone who is more low-key and localized. How do you save those girls. "I can do what I want" money and power means something very scary.
