I think we should expand our conversation about the Epstein scandal. [View all]
The trafficking of young girls is a horrific crime, and anyone involved in any capacity should be imprisoned, ostracized, excommunicated from all polite society, and suffer for all eternity. That said, the Epstein affair is so much more that should be in the conversation. It was money laundering. It was extortion and blackmail. It was espionage. And yes, it is becoming obvious it was murder. The trafficking and abuse of the the young victims was just the trap. It was the tool to suck some of the rich and powerful in. This is a much bigger operation, and it has been very successful in roiling the world order. Putin, Netanyahu, tRump, Musk, etc. are achieving a goal 2 world wars could not. They are destroying everything the US once held dear. They are replacing democracy with autocracy. They are replacing every good tendency with greed, avarice, and hate. Those covering these crimes up should meet the same fate as the perpetrators. They are complicit. We are a long way down this road but destroying everyone involved in the Epstein crimes in any way would be a good start to a return to normalcy. If we can't achieve accountability for this massive web of criminality, I fear for our future.
