Maintaining the Epstein files shouldn’t be a right-left issue, the organizer of a demonstration Saturday at the capitol complex in downtown Carson City says what has been revealed thus far should disturb everyone, regardless of party affiliation.
Emily Tiehm is a Carson City mom who organized the rally in front of the capitol Saturday. Her aim is to raise awareness about children who have gone missing in the country, child sex abuse, pedophilia and the Epstein files.
“The Epstein files have been released and there are no arrests being made to our public figures, celebrities and those who are in the files. Now they are saying they’re going to release (UFO, UAP) alien documents. This is to distract us. We want people to know that we are not going to shut up about this,” said Tiehm.
The issue is beyond politics, she said.
“Personally I believe left and right is kind of a distraction meant to have us at each others’ throats rather than talk about what is actually going on,” she said. “This is a cause both sides should be able to unite on because this is about children. This is not red versus blue, this is good versus evil. Terrible things are happening to children. It should not matter what party you are of. It should matter that children are in unsafe environments and need to be saved.”
Tiehm said she was prompted to start the demonstrations — with Saturday being the first of what will be monthly — with the hopes of bringing awareness to the issue and to hold people accountable. As a mother she said she is passionate about children and that she herself went through abuse in her own childhood.
“That brings out a fire in me. I do not like children being touched, tortured or harmed in any way and if my voice can make a difference, I’m going to scream as loud as I can,” she said.
Joining Saturday’s demonstration was Ashley McGill who brought her 9-month-old son Tucker with her to the capitol. She said she participated in demonstrations downtown six years ago when the issue began to surface publicly.
“We were out here six years ago being told that we were conspiracists. Being able to read everything now, it is horrifying what they were actually doing to our children. We need to be advocating for our children because nobody else is going to do it for them.”
The demonstrations will continue on the third Saturday of every month from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with March 21 being the next one.
