This week the information has been stuffed with headlines akin to these: “Trump’s Connection to Epstein a lot worse than we knew”; “Colombian President Petro Calls US Leaders ‘Clan of Pedophiles”; “White Home In Panic Mode As New ‘Smoking Gun’ Emails Hyperlink Trump to Epstein”; “Trump Summons Boebert to Scenario Room over Epstein”; “New Epstein Recordsdata Dump Incriminates Andrew Whereas Epstein says Palace Wished Giuffre Silenced”; “Statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Returns to D.C. After Newly Launched Emails”; “The Epstein Affair Has Moved from Sleaze to a Disaster for American Democracy Itself”.

It’s no surprise. The revelation {that a} pedophile ring has been alive and nicely for many years that concerned an English prince and an English “madam” who has sucked as much as the second in cost on the DOJ and whom the American president has known as a “good pal” and apparently ordered moved from a jail to a soft jail with preferential therapy. And whose star character was a “excellent pal” of the president for not less than 15 years—why wouldn’t that be headline fodder?
In current DMs I’ve shared a few of the insights from Chuck Collins’ necessary ebook, Burned By Billionaires: How Concentrated Wealth and Energy are Ruining Our Lives and Planet. The Epstein information provides an entire chapter to that ebook: how concentrated wealth and energy can get away for years with masking up pedophilia dedicated by a few of the richest and strongest males on this planet.
How highly effective males from world wide break the lives of women and younger girls, driving some to suicide. How they battle like hell from the White Home itself (and the state of affairs room there) to see that the reality doesn’t get out. And the way their supporters from the facility locations of Congress and the Republican Get together do the identical (although that block appears to be splitting over this one concern).
The reality of what number of victims, what number of ladies and younger girls, have been raped by the highly effective billionaires of our day is rising. And the way the American president, in Epstein’s phrases, was “the canine who didn’t bark” and who certainly “knew in regards to the ladies.”
And the way the reality at hand introduced down a prince of England and his ex-wife, and is rattling the very existence of the British monarchy.
These similar billionaires are amongst those that personal over 85% of the media in our nation. They’ve purchased the Supreme Court docket and 60% of the politicians within the nation. They’re those who really feel they need to not should pay any revenue taxes, and so manipulate the legal guidelines that many don’t accomplish that.
They’re amongst those that set the agenda for a dying democracy. They whip up fervor towards immigrants and gas racial strife and sophistication warfare, and cheer the sending of American troops into America’s cities.
And, apparently, they (not all, however too many) contemplate underage girls and ladies to be nothing however objects for his or her sexual satisfaction. They usually battle like hell to forestall the information from being informed to the American public.
Do we actually need males like these to set the agenda for our media? For our politics? For our faculties and kids? For our firms and companies and authorities and Supreme Court docket? And make selections about the way forward for our planet? About warfare and peace? About relations with different international locations?
