(Real, actual tweet from the president’s oldest, circa 2023; citation HERE.)
Here’s the most interesting part of the whole debacle that has been the current president’s handling of the Epstein case: I think there’s about a 50/50 chance that he (the current president*) wasn’t a client of the previously mentioned modern-Day Monster (henceforth simply “The Monster”). I say this for two reasons:
1. He is a notorious germaphobe.
2. With
him, it always goes back to money and greed.
To that second point, I think the relationship with The Monster was likely far more about making money than it was the exploitation of children. The abuse of children is not impossible, but I am saying that it wasn't the primary driver.
Oh, and before I forget to mention it, let’s all agree that the term “underaged women” or similar words are repugnant in that they are an attempt to soft sell the crimes committed. These were CHILDREN that were abused.
Given this, why the utterly ridiculous denial of The Monster’s client list in the first place? Again, note that this is after using the client list as a literal hammer to go after opponents for YEARS. See Junior's actual Tweet, above. Anyway, here’s my theory:
• There
is a list.
• Even if
he was not a client, he’s referenced in it repeatedly.
• It’s
not really just him that’s being protected…instead it’s his class of people.
That third bullet is the key. We all want to believe that supervillains who do terrible things are fictional, but what if it were true that the multi-multi-millionaire and billionaire classes can use their money and power to, for example, exploit children for the very worst of reasons? What if some of these folks were names that we would all recognize (akin to “Prince” Andrew)? This class of people has conditioned the masses to believe that they are better than the rest of us. More successful. More powerful. Simply better. But what if they are worse? How would the 99% of folks who are not in these upper echelons of society react if it became common knowledge that one of the privileges that money buys is the sexual assault of children?
What if all of this were about protecting the image of the rich and powerful? Now I am not prone to conspiracy theories, but in this case, we have something of a tiny peephole into reality, namely the case of Britian’s Prince Andrew. You can read more about that HERE.
A bottom line of sorts: Release the damn list. Release everything. Every name. Every connection. Every log. Every scrap of paper. Make this a teachable, wake-up moment for modern society where an uncaring population must come face to face with the fact that being rich and powerful can sometimes make you a monster who does terrible, terrible things. Lay bare the fact that unrestricted wealth and power can have horrible consequences. Force us to reconcile a society that promotes high ideals but allows the lowest of behaviors when money is involved. Remind us that some are above the law by virtue of money and power, even if we pretend that justice is somehow equal.
Nothing can or will change until we face reality first.
