I haven’t had time to properly delve into the Epstein files properly just yet but the little I have read is truly shocking.
I don’t mean this to sound flippant, but until recently I thought this was all about powerful men who “just” liked to have sex with barely legal girls who had been coerced into complying.
Obviously that’s bad enough, and in another time that would have been sufficient to launch investigations and get people prosecuted. And rightly so.
But clearly what went on is far, far worse - and no one seems to be doing much other than huffing a bit. There’s testimony about the rape and murder of young teens. Pam fucking Bondi lying about things that we can all blatantly see are there in black and white. It’s utter madness. Sure, she’s been bollocked but does anyone actually have any power to do anything? Seemingly not. It feels as if this is going to blow over - along with any of Trump’s other outrageous behaviours that break the law, or those of his representatives (like the ICE murders).
I think depravity and corruption runs much deeper than anyone realised. There is a circle of very powerful men who used vulnerable young girls for their sickest fantasies with literally no consequence.
It feels surreal. It’s like something out of a dark spy thriller - but it’s not fiction.
Maybe that’s the problem; this is so enormous and so awful it’s impossible to truly grasp.
I really hope there’s someone with power in the US that has the drive to get this properly investigated. The trouble is, I’m not sure there’s anyone left to do it. Trump has removed everyone who’s competent at their job in agencies like the FBI and replaced them with inexperienced nonentities who will do his bidding.
This can’t be allowed to drop but who is there to get this done??
