The conclusion, then, is not a lurid morality tale about “bad people doing bad things,” nor the tired revelation that royals, celebrities, or billionaires behave with impunity. That much is already obvious. Child abusers exist across every class and every society. What does not exist everywhere is a system that records, archives, weaponises, and protects that abuse for strategic ends.
The Epstein case points not to isolated depravity, but to structured leverage: an architecture of blackmail in which sexual crimes become instruments of power rather than grounds for prosecution. That is why the fixation on individual scandal – princes, parties, and gossip – functions as misdirection.
The real scandal is the evidence of an intelligence-linked operation in which Mossad repeatedly appears as a point of reference, protection, and utility; an operation that embedded itself across politics, finance, media, and celebrity culture.
Ex anti-Russian Brit spy who publishes unsourced and discredited Russian rumors claims it’s Russia. Story at 11.
Steele’s work is excellent. I read the dossier he produced on Trump and it was highly accurate. It also specified when sourcing was not confirmed, such as the claim Trump had had prostitutes urinate on a Moscow hotel bed the Obamas had once slept in (what is colloquially called the pee tape). But his prediction ROSNEFT would split off 20% and sell this to an intermediary buyer for Trump and the Republicans actually did happen. And that was the real meat of his report.
