The initial allegations against convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein – namely that he and his associates procured underage girls for men of wealth and power to exploit and abuse – were sufficiently heinous.
Sex with anyone who has not attained the age of consent is illegal. Immoral. Reprehensible. That’s why this media outlet has consistently called on those who engage in such acts to suffer the direst of consequences.
But as the Epstein saga has unfolded, the allegations linked to his network have moved beyond “sufficiently heinous” and into the realm of unfathomably evil. Unspeakably depraved. Unprecedentedly horrific.
On a private island in the Caribbean Sea, in a massive mansion in midtown Manhattan, and at a secluded ranch in New Mexico and various coordinates in between, atrocities were perpetrated by the so-called masters of the universe on those they deemed to be expendable.
As they were happening, these exploits were dutifully recorded and catalogued by Epstein and his associates as kompromat.
The darkness confronting us in the Epstein Files is something deeper and more insidious than we ever expected… or previously encountered. It is shocking to our senses, repulsive to our souls and elementally corrosive to our faith in the institutions we thought we could trust – and the basic humanity we thought we once shared. And we likely don’t know – and may never know – the half of it.
The documents released contain, as expected, allegations related to the grooming, kidnapping and trafficking of underage women – including all manner of sexual abuse purportedly perpetrated against them. But they also contain allegations of murder – and not just that, ritualistic murder, torture, cannibalism and other sheer Satanic practices.

Within the grisly files are reports of dismemberment and strangulation, the consumption of human intestines, the harvesting of adrenochrome and attempts to breed a new master race.
Worst of all? Many of the alleged victims referenced in connection with these acts were children – or infants.
Are these horror stories true? Many Epstein-related revelations have long been branded as the ravings of conspiracy theorists… but it is clearly no longer a conspiracy that the men who rule(d?) the world do not want them investigated.
And are doing everything within their considerable power to protect those implicated…
Adding another layer of depth to the depravity? Epstein is widely suspected of operating as an intelligence asset – meaning the aforementioned kompromat activities in which he engaged were on some level sanctioned by governments (possibly even our government). As previously reported, British media tycoon Robert Maxwell – the father of Epstein’s longtime lover and co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell – was widely believed to have been an Israeli asset, specifically an operative in the employ of its Mossad intelligence agency.
Epstein himself seemed to acknowledge as much in an email (.pdf) sent to an unknown recipient in March of 2018. Entitled “he was passed away,” the email related four quotes about Robert Maxwell – including one in which he was alleged to have been killed because he “threatened Mossad.”

“He told them that unless they gave him £400 to save his crumbling empire, he would expose all he had done for them,” one of the quotes noted.
Robert Maxwell died under suspicious circumstances on his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine, on November 5, 1991. That’s right… and you thought Epstein’s death was the only unexplained “un-aliving” tied to this scandal?
Epstein’s own connections to Israel have drawn scrutiny, with memos provided to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) suggesting the financier was “a co-opted Mossad agent” who had been “trained as a spy” for the Israeli intelligence service.
Israeli leaders – up to and including prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu – have pushed back against this allegation.
All of this speculation brings us to arguably the most damning reality – and significant casualty – of the Epstein drama: the end of the truth as we once knew it.

Our media outlet has extensively documented the delay, deflection and deception associated with the release of these materials – and the total lack of accountability for those implicated by the allegations contained therein. Whether we are dealing with incomplete disclosures, inconsistent redactions or disappearing documents (many of the files originally published by the Department of Justice continue to mysteriously vanish from the Epstein website), it is abundantly clear our government is more interested in burying this scandal than getting to the bottom of it.
Not surprisingly, the administration of Donald Trump – whose name appears literally hundreds of times in the files he once referred to as a “hoax” – clearly has no plans to prosecute anyone in connection with these allegations. So far only one government – the state of New Mexico – appears serious about accountability, with a resolution moving forward which would create a special committee to “investigate (Epstein’s) Zorro ranch” and the “related allegations of criminal activity” which are said to have transpired there.
It’s not much… but we suppose it is a start.
In her 2010 memoir, A Mountain of Crumbs, Russian author Elena Gorokhova described life in Soviet Russia after World War II.
“The rules are simple: they lie to us, we know they’re lying, they know we know they’re lying but they keep lying anyway, and we keep pretending to believe them,” she wrote.
It’s time to stop pretending, people… and time to start following what’s left of the truth wherever it leads.

“It is abundantly clear our government is more interested in burying this scandal than getting to the bottom of it.”
“Our government?” Are you afraid to say his name? Who is president, in total control of Congress and the DOJ and many red state governments as well?
We ceased having a government on January 20, 2025 and now have a veritable dick-tatership.
Sad. At least you can always believe in Comet Ping Pong pizzagate…
“Donald Trump – whose name appears literally hundreds of times”, uh try his name appears literally THOUSANDS of times.
Also, why not mention that yesterday Maxwell refused to exonerate Trump unless Trump granted her clemency?
Who are YOU protecting Will?
Please stop saying “underage women” They are CHILDREN
Haha. Welcome, Will. Being anti-pedophile puts you at odds with Trump and his merry band of sycophants but I suppose you calling him out (even in this watered down, chickenshit way) is better late than never.
Whatever the case was in the past, it is no longer “the Government” that does not want answers. It is Donald Trump and the Republicans. Whatever hesitancy there was among Democrats is over. They all agree we should release everything as soon as possible, as does the vast majority of the American public. So time to do it. Let the chips fall where they may: left, right, or center. I don’t give a crap about the billionaires who will fall, but that said, it’s easy for me, because I know that the hammer will fall disproportionately on Trump and his billionaire buddies. Why? Because they are the only ones still fighting the release. They are all relying on Trump and his bootlickers (like Bondi, Patel, and Miller) to keep their names secret. Of course, if Trump can find a way to save himself, he will throw them all under the bus in a skinny minute, but they probably have too much on him. So he will keep up the cover-up, keep demanding that we all stop talking about Epstein, keep pretending it’s all a conspiracy, keep distracting as long as he can. So keep up the pressure.
The only reason the “hesitancy” of the Democrats (as a party, not individually) is over on this (after 9+ years no less) is because it keeps the massive Minnesota/California fraud news off the headlines [recall “if it bleeds it leads”, and “sex sells.” ] That is 99% a Democrat fraud problem with huge present and future -day consequences for many hundreds of Democrat politicians and their imbedded government bureaucracy acolytes. Faced with that, or the alternative of throwing under the Epstein bus probably less than 50 old, rich, mostly white liberals who have largely served their purpose for the Revolution is an easy call, especially because it will also bring down some old rich white RINOs and smear the others who show up in the files. But I agree that Kash and Pam are completely in the tank in terms of following the Transparency Act and going failing to go after powerful people who clearly were doing horrible things. They gotta go.
You are funny. Distract, deflect, make up crap. The vast majority of Medicare and Medicaid fraud in this country is perpetrated by companies owned or controlled by rich white Republicans, like Rick Scott. Trump has pardoned people who have stolen billions of dollars through fraud. Somehow, the billionaires who get the money never seem to pay the price.
