DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE: There is no vaccine for the Epstein pandemic except justice

Like the song from the 1970’s movie Love Story “Where do I begin to tell the

story…” only the bad news; this is not a love story.

Actually, it’s more to the point a horror flick.

I’ve watched people going back and forth arguing and debating on one little piece or another of this colossally heinous situation called the Epstein Files – the Epstein pandemic. Unfortunately, there’s no vaccine for this, only justice.

Here is a fact: human beings trust authority more than their own judgment. Psychologists call it social proof. If a credible source approves something, people follow without thinking twice. That’s why someone’s title matters, or a good review matters or an expert opinion. This is the sort of thing that can flip a crowd, and you’d better believe the manipulators know it.

And it’s happening now with the Epstein files.

Ask yourself – who is more credible than my own judgment and the whisper of my soul? Are you really going to give that away to the highest bidder so they can make this go away?

There’s so much we can talk about with the files but instead check it all out yourself at www.justice.gov/epstein – if you want to be 100% sure you know what you’re talking about.

In the latest DOJ release, which includes a list you can find on mainstream media, there are more than 300 high-profile individuals including Donald Trump, Sir Keir Starmer, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew), Bill Gates, Queen Elizabeth II, Woody Allen, Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger, Kevin Spacey, Bill Clinton, Kurt Cobain, Kim Kardashian – you get the idea.

The Justice Department did say that having your name in the files doesn’t mean the person committed a crime.

I will agree with that, but what about the photos in the files that are obviously a person we recognize doing something that’s questionable?

And then there’s Attorney General Pam Bondi, whose performance last week was disconcerting even to right-leaning little ‘ol me.

Deflecting and talking about how great the Dow is doing while the survivors are in the audience listening was not exactly appropriate.

Even some red people are cringing at this point.

We need to be talking about the people named in the released file, clear the names of those who are innocent, prosecute those who are not, and find out to what degree this is still going on – because it still is going on somewhere.

Regarding the horror of it all there’s also the fact the files actually redacted the “predators” names and listed the survivor’s name unredacted.

Why did our DOJ decide pedophiles and murderers have more rights than those who lived through the horror?

And yes, the Epstein files are a horror because the horrific revelations like eating babies, murdering, trafficking, sexually assaulting, and hunting children like animals for sport are for real and not just some conspiracy theory – remember those people calling this a conspiracy not long ago?

Innocent until proven guilty, yes, people deserve that.

But when there are pictures and emails and obvious links, it’s time to stop dragging your feet and get going. And that get going could start with the DOJ talking to the survivors who were at the congressional hearing.

Bondi said a few weeks ago she can’t release the names of all the predators that have hurt women because the government would collapse.

Most people I know say, “burn it down.”

In other words, we don’t care about the government – remove the incumbents and the bureaucrats and whoever else needs to be removed and make this right – NOW!

The big question – is Trump guilty?

Is Biden guilty?

Is Obama, Clinton, and Bush how far back do you want to go – are they all guilty?

A story going around is that Trump’s DOJ released all the files to lawmakers in DC and were secretly able to see who searched what files to look at what (to see what names were there). The thinking is Trump set everyone up by allowing this – I’m not convinced of that as of this writing.

Bottom line – Americans expect the Epstein Files Transparency Act to be taken seriously.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), said the DOJ is “purposefully muddying the waters on who was a predator and who was mentioned in an email.”

Republican Rep. from South Carolina, Nancy Mace said there are “missing names on the list disclosed this evening.”

Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert from Colorado said something along the lines of this is way darker than anyone imagined, torture emails, constant references to “consumption,” a place literally called “The Cannibal” restaurant, and code words like “jerky” and “human meat” being thrown around like it’s nothing.

And the women? Ghislaine Maxwell, Rachel Chandler, and a whole group of female predators were moving children around like they were nothing.

And Maxwell is in Club Fed in Texas right now playing the game and perhaps thinking she will be released soon.

There will be more hearings, but meanwhile Khanna and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) who both spearheaded the passing of the Epstein Files Transparency Act (www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/ro-khanna-thomas-massie-inherent-contempt-bondi-kaine-epstein-rcna250298) are digging in hard from both sides of the aisle.

Massie also pointed out, “These survivors would love to have a meeting. It’s not about Bill Clinton, and it’s not about Donald Trump. This Epstein Files Transparency Act was about getting these survivors justice.”

That and he mentioned on camera that he is not suicidal. I’m sure he knows he could be in danger since he is demanding the truth.

Consider the fact there are currently millions of minds on this topic and that’s one way for a control structure to begin to lose its ability to decide what the collective is allowed to know.

The energy everyone can feel in the world since Covid has shifted. It’s created a rupture that can no longer be managed and hidden.

The COVID experiment opened the door for people to begin to see the dirty little secrets hidden in the shadows for years.

Perhaps releasing the Epstein files is a controlled breach instead of an uncontrolled collapse.

The pattern will likely repeat as larger disclosures continue. Those who hold power will try to release fragments in such a way that it creates exhaustion for people and they will just give up or become too jaded to care.

Those in power will try to scatter the narrative into a thousand arguments so that no unified conclusion forms.

What we are seeing now is a release that’s substantial enough to satisfy the surface demands yet complex enough to keep the deeper structure hidden from the casual observer.

Still, it’s a release and the first admission is always the most dangerous for those who rely on denial.

It comes down to truth versus comfortable illusion.

If you’re talking about the Epstein files and listening to just one side of the aisle or mainstream media, you’re doing yourself a disservice.

The left and right have been fighting for years by design – we must remove the distraction.

I suggest everyone think about what information you’re being fed regarding the Epstein files and politics in general. Was emotional manipulation involved in your source?

Then think about what you can do to find a peaceful way forward as we are on the brink of more disclosures and truths.

Maybe it’s as simple as voting incumbents out and putting new people in, or maybe you step up to lead as well.

It’s not as much about what you do – as that you do something. The time is now for everyone to have a voice, find peace and demand retribution for those who are guilty no matter the side of the aisle.
