The criminal elite exposed in the Epstein files are burying the truth.

Perhaps not surprisingly, the media noise over the Epstein files is serving chiefly to drown out a more truthful story struggling to emerge. The same elite that once prized Epstein as its ringmaster is now trying to draw our attention away from its complicity in his crimes, to direct it to a few select individuals – notably in the UK, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Peter Mandelson. The pair hardly count as sacrificial lambs. Nonetheless, they serve the same purpose: to satiate the growing public appetite for retribution. Meanwhile, the rest of his circle either deny the well-established evidence of their friendships with Epstein or, if cornered, hastily apologise for a brief lapse in judgment – before scurrying for cover. This is a false reckoning. The Epstein Files don’t just show us the dark choices of a few powerful individuals. More significantly, they highlight the degenerate logic of the power structures behind these individuals. The powerful figures who took Epstein’s Lolita Express to his island; who got “massages” from young, trafficked women and girls; and who casually joked about the abuse these youngsters suffered, are the very same people who quietly helped Israel commit mass slaughter in Gaza – and in some cases, noisily defended its right to do so. Are we surprised that those who raised not a whisper of opposition to the murder and maiming of tens of thousands of Palestinian children, and the starvation of hundreds of thousands more, were also those who connived in rituals of abuse against children – or condoned such rituals – far closer to home? These are the people who required anyone hoping to raise their voice in defence of Gaza’s children to spend their time instead condemning Hamas. These are the people who sought at every turn to discredit the mounting death toll of children by attributing it to Gaza’s “Hamas-run health ministry”. These are the people who denied Israel’s targeting of hospitals needed to treat Gaza’s wounded and sick children – and ignored Israel’s mass starvation of the entire population. And these are the people now pretending that Israel’s continuing murder and torture of Gaza’s children amounts to a “peace plan”. This is an extract from my latest article The criminal elite exposed in the Epstein files are burying the truth. Find a link to the rest in the reply post below ⬇️
