“…Epstein mythology can be roughly defined as the popular belief, nearly ubiquitous on social media and adjacent outlets, that the deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein orchestrated a sprawling child sex-trafficking operation in which the powerful individuals across government, business, entertainment, and academia with whom Epstein consorted were systematically entrapped into compromising sexual encounters, surreptitiously filmed, and then blackmailed into silence or complicity—likely with the assistance of some unknown intelligence agencies (Mossad being a typical candidate). The true scale of this operation has been covered up, the mythology goes, because its exposure would unveil the evil at the very heart of global power structures.
More recently, the mythology has taken on a startling new dimension. While the second Trump administration promised to vanquish the Deep State and to bring long overdue justice to child-predating wrongdoers, there appears to have been a slight snafu. Justice was apparently to be served by releasing what had colloquially become known as the “Epstein Files”—a compendium of damning documents understood to be sitting in a government repository somewhere, shielded from public disclosure by reprobates in the Biden Administration—and indeed the first Trump administration, which had also been obstructed by the insidious Deep State. But this time, Trump would install only the most loyal and tenacious warriors. Incorruptible heroes such as Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, and Pam Bondi would stop at nothing to reveal the truth, once and for all. And yet now, in a shocking twist, Trump and his subordinates have decided to join the coverup, and let the elite pedophiles continue enjoying their impunity.
That’s a brief rundown of the current iteration of Epstein mythology. Of course, there are also non-mythological components to the Jeffrey Epstein saga. He really did procure teenage girls for his own perverse gratification. He really did hobnob with an astonishing array of well-connected and powerful individuals. He really did die under peculiar circumstances. It is easy to see why this story has morphed into an object of such sustained intrigue. But kernels of truth have long since given way to an ever-expanding mythology which cannot be falsified. No countervailing evidence could ever disabuse its most committed adherents of their essential belief: that organized sexual predation rings of the kind orchestrated by Epstein are pervasively real and play a decisive role in how power is distributed in society…”
And where exactly do you think Comey and Brennan will point when pressed hard in a criminal investigation?
That’s right.
Brennan is already signalling that if he goes down, Obama goes down.
Delicious.
Someone fell out of that coconut tree!
Where did she get that Rastafarian accent?
Love it!
So authentic.
I do see this phenomenon as a natural adaptation to improve survival in early human societies.
What nonsense.
The guy was a freak who loved sex with children. He was a criminal. He was old. He was used to a life of privilege and leisure. He had many millions of dollars. His life as he knew it was over. He would spend the rest of his days in jail. His associate who helped him is in jail. There is no need for some super secret conspiracy to explain any of it. There is no need to make public videos and images of his victims or release any information that could make the names of victims public.
If you make fun of libtards for thinking this kind of grand conspiracy shit, you need to get a hold of yourself.
Every reasonably normal person who has seen the file has said the same thing. Barr. Patel. Bongino. Bondi.
Listen carefully to what Dershowitz says. Dershowitz was targeted by a self-described Epstein victim, Giuffre ( a serial fabricator), with a false accusation that fell apart in litigation. Dershowitz is personally involved and that involvement may color his otherwise outstanding judgment on most issues. I’m not sure I agree with him here. By releasing everything, I think there is a high likelihood that you release and besmirch the identity of innocent people who would now have to prove their innocence in the court of public opinion. If there is evidence of additional crimes in the material, I certainly hope the DOJ will pursue charges.
In general, total transparency is the right choice. Here, it is complicated. It could hurt the innocent.
