Back after Epstein’s death, I said that the truth died with him. The Epstein case long ago became a political pinata that dishonest people play with. And after the latest round of Epstein games, what we know is most of what we already knew.
The only real answer that remains to the Epstein puzzle is that he was the establishment. A math teacher with some number skills and far more con artist skills catapulted himself into the ranks of the elites by playing intermediary with politicians, tycoons, pimps, princes, prostitutes, and public figures.
Epstein became very good at collecting names, inviting famous people to parties on the pretext that there would be other famous people there and if anything untoward happened at those parties, well don’t ask any of the attendees about it.
Like the rest of our establishment, Epstein courted and was courted by foreign businessmen, elites and players. He traded access and girls and built a mystique that lives on long after his death.
Most of those details only matter so much. The big question has always been, who protected him during his original bust and afterwards? There’s really only one family that was in a position to do it and it’s the Clintons. If that was so, then Epstein made the ultimate leap, turning his little black book into a lever that moved a former and aspiring future president to use their network to cover up his crimes.
Unlike most of the Epstein trivia, that is a question worth asking. More so than what Bill Gates was getting up to at parties let alone Prince Andrew. Some men, Epstein corrupted because they were already corrupt. But some had the power to corrupt an entire system for him. Epstein is dead, but the corruption in the system must be torn out because that is the corruption of not just one dead man who temporarily embodied the worst of the establishment, but of the establishment itself.
