More Epstein documents have been dumped, and they’re atrocious. It seems like most of the US elite was involved.
There are two reasons for this. One is that people who are super-powerful and super-rich feel like ordinary morality and laws don’t apply to them, and rape and torture and pedophilia are, to them, an ultimate rush, a proof of their power.
The other is similar to some gang initiations where if you want to be a member you have to kill someone. (Making your bones.) Once you’ve done that, you’re in, because they have you by the balls. You can’t betray them because they know who you murdered.
If you want to be in the top echelon of American (or Israeli, and possibly UK) elites they need to know you can be trusted. They need blackmail. You have to make your bones. Once you’ve committed an unspeakable crime, and they have pictures and video (remember, Epstein had cameras everywhere), well you can be allowed in, because you’re not going to use any power you have in any way the betrays elite interests, because they can destroy you any time they want.
(This is also how the Yale fraternity “Skull and Bones” is alleged to operate. You tell them your secrets to get in. They push your career. You’re one of them, and you can be trusted by other members, because you all have dirt on each other.)
Elite pedophilia isn’t a bug, it’s a feature, at least to other members of the elite classes.

Something similar could be said about the Catholic hierarchy.

… and MURDERS:

They SNUFFED women after using them, (i.e., rape and torture,) and then buried the bodies at a Trump Golf Course.
They also murdered a trafficked underage girl who ended up pregnant — and her newborn baby girl.
(The YouTuber is digging and reading through the release Epstein files.)

BTW, if anyone else is gonna watch any of the Epstein file breakdown videos on YouTube, you need to watch those videos in small bites. There is so much shocking information that my brain could not keep up and just blanked out.

Where are Michael Tracey’s elaborate explanations and excuses, how all this is a nothingburger?
Purple Library Guy
It’s going to be interesting. Such gang rituals are useful to such gangs, but such gangs can still be taken down. And in this case, nobody controls the blackmail any more, and for a change maybe it’ll be the elites madly fighting each other like crabs in a bucket, trying to avoid the consequences.
It should probably not require mention, but any elite that operates like this is by definition one that needs to be crushed. In order to require this, they have to be, first, immoral psychopathic bastards, and second, the whole basis of their rule has to be behaviour that the lower orders would scream vengeance for if they understood what was going on. Otherwise there’s no need for the obsessive secrecy and blackmail in the first place.

These “people” are ugly in body speech and mind.
Look at photos of any one of them. Repulsive.
Read or listen to anything they say. Disgusting.
To quote Frank Zappa, what’s the ugliest part of your body? I think it’s your mind . . .

Skull and Bones is a Yale thing.
Given the numbers, this is a pretty small fraction of elites. Abhorrent as this bullshit is, it’s an edge case within much larger elite social networks, which have much larger societal, political and economic effects / dimensions.

Finster called it, Tracey made a bizarre, 3+ hours appearance on Due Dissidence, loudly and angrily arguing over the hosts that Epstein only copped to one light case of sex with a 17 year old girl “hours before” her 18th birthday, if they’d been in a different time zone it wouldn’t have been a crime at all, etc. Now this is borderline true, but Tracey brags of his “expertise” in the subject, he has read “every court file” on Epstein lawsuits so knows “nothing to see here, folks.”
It doesn’t bother him that Alex Acosta of the first Trump Admin, then the Florida Attorney General, cherry picked the smallest case they had on Jeffrey, out of something like 38, and admitted publicly the reason, paraphrased, “He had intell connections”, Mossad, FBI informant, multiple passports, so he had to be treated with kid gloves.
Acosta himself dressed his children up as the little girls (ghosts) in The Shining for public appearances, causing Reditteers to ask, “Are these little girls okay?”
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=alex+acosta+picture+daughters+&t=ffab&ia=images&iax=images&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thecinemaholic.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2020%2F05%2Facosta-1-370×247.jpg
Mago references Zappa and his “Dumb All Over, A Little Ugly on the Side” applies here. Ugly parents, homely, scary-looking children all for public display. Pence is the only human looking person at Acosta’s swearing in.
Carborundum has it wrong (again), Oh, Skull and Bones was only at Yale so it’s no big deal. Nearly a century old and has the US’s top elites, stole Geronimo’s skull, has brutal initiations with sexualized torture. Reportedly Bush the Lesser initiated the new pledges with burning coat hangers on naked skin. The 2004 Presidential election was between Bush Jr. and John Kerry, US would be ruled by a Skull & Bones guy either way, so saying it has no influence is 100% counterfactual.
The question viz Michael Tracey is why does he virulently attack anyone for seeing anything suspicious about Epstein’s child-recruitment, Mossad and FBI “informant” links, blackmail ring, etc? Is he paid to throw dust in the eyes of those looking into it? Does he wish to participate? Is he being given honey(pots) for doing so? His cover story is that Epstein may have committed ONE case of pedophilia with a minor in his entire career, no more than that, and that all of the court cases against Epstein supporters like Harvard (gosh, it’s not just Yale), JP Morgan etc. were just greedy bitches (his misogyny is open) scamming the poor, wealthy victims. On DD they showed him the picture of Virginia Guiffre with Prince Andrew, and he spewed a lengthy defense that Epstein hired a lot of “20 year olds” who “stripped down to their underwear and gave massages”, no sex, no foul. Absurd.
Tracey is a short, prematurely bald George Costanza knock-off, sweaty with a Nerd vibe from here to Texas. I doubt (given his rampant misogyny and desire to defend non-consensual sex with children) that he’s much of a hit with the ladies.
Tracey and Matt Taibbi are now the most-disgraced and owned former “journalists” among a swamp of Bad Faith reporting from the beltway. Former Free Speech Warrior Taibbi (who won many honors and accolades over decades) is now reduced to an unpopular Right Wing Rage Bait podcast with the odious, elderly dry-drunk and fanatical Zionist Walter Kirn, writing encomiums to the failing idiot Bari Weiss, who in the pay of the Ellison family (the world’s richest) is tanking CBS, now actually ZBS, the Zionist Broadcast Network, after her failed “Free Press” Vanity podcast which drew a tiny audience, and her fake Texas “University” based on nostalgia for ancient, classical Empires. He called her “brilliant” and an amazing “entrepreneur”. I will admit that being promoted to CBS with her small, failing podcast bought out for $100 million is impressive, but we all know which puppet strings pulled that off.
In conclusion, Yes, “We are the Baddies.” Well, our Elites are. Too much impunity means they stopped even hiding it. So the question is, can all the public’s disgust create any meaningful change? Clearly not at the moment, but something is building.

Bizarre comment, where you’re saying someone’s kids are ugly as if that’s an argument…

IMO, the real question is still “who has the Epstein Tapes”? (whatever – and mostly, whoever – he recorded from all those cameras)
‘Elite perverts’ is the surface story, and of course, it’s true, but Epstein’s ring wasn’t just a Rich Boys’ Sex Club.
Part of the operation was about ensuring control over [parts of] the US Justice System (SDNY at least); Epstein (& Co?) had to be able to protect himself AND his clients from the occasional Honest Cop. But the tentacles extend way beyond that.
I’m betting that Mossad has [most of] the Tapes.

If Epstein, who somehow already had a fake passport way back in 1982 when he was 28-29, was connected to Mossad, then isn’t this whole Epstein thing yet another mechanism of foreign Zionist control of the US plutocratic regime?
How is that not the number 1 issue? So many of the recent events taking place in the US seem to relate to preserving that all-important foreign Zionist control over the US:
– ICE deportations that started first and foremost with those involved in anti-genocide protests
– Stephen Miller’s quota and goal of 1 million per year ICE deportations of Latinos/Arabs/Muslims (3,000 per day) would change US demographics to help preserve that hold
– Seizure and transfer of TikTok USA to Larry Ellison’s Oracle as urgent concerns grew over young Americans, including young Jewish-Americans, rejecting Zionism, apartheid, and genocide
– Assassination of the Kirk just weeks after he had started to publicly question Zionist influence over the US – highly problematic given his influence over young conservative Americans
– Abrupt resignation of Marjorie Taylor Greene from her highly influential position in Congress, who had urged release of the Epstein files and criticized Zionist influence over the US
– Sudden large increases in investigations and arrests in the UK and other Western countries to silence those critical of the genocide and the genocidal Zionist regime
To what extent is what gets characterized as Trump/ICE fascism in the US actually a manifestation of Zionist fascism rising throughout the West?
Because of constant attempts to conflate the two, it’s important to underline that Judaism is not Zionism, and many Jewish people have a principled stance against Zionism, apartheid, and genocide:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM3wNcHIfQM
Are people focusing on Trump/ICE/Yale/Tracey/scandals/etc. while not paying attention to the real, larger, issue driving those? If its elites are compromised and controlled to this extent, does the US have sovereignty?
Carborundum
Where did I say that Skull and Bones or similar social groupings have no influence? To the contrary, my point (beyond simply correcting the original mis-statement of Skull and Bones being at Harvard rather than Yale) was that although pedophilia gets a lot of attention, it should be viewed as less significant than other elite network distortions. (Yes, pedophilia is devastating for the victims, but the number of people affected by the other predations is many orders of magnitude greater.)
cc
correction: “of the Kirk” should have been “of Charlie Kirk”
And we could add to the list of recent news items that relate to reinforcing/fortifying Zionist control over the US:
– Larry Ellison’s son David Ellison appointed Bari Weiss to head CBS News.
– Larry and David Ellison, through Paramount/Skydance, are also trying to acquire Warner Bros.
Is it like in the “Alien” movies, when a parasitic organism feels like their hold over a host is being threatened, they tighten and redouble their efforts to preserve their control over it?
Feral Finster
@Mark Level:
What happened was that, to his credit, Taibbi defended free speech when the liberals and democrats were the censors.
Naturally, that got MAGA hot and bothered. They adopted Taibbi as one of their own. Taibbi decided he liked it (and liked the subscription revenue), even when MAGA got the whip hand.
When WE do it, it’s only self-defense, at worst a measured response to outrageous provocation.
When they do it, The Boots Of Fascism Are On The March.

‘Pedophilia’ is defined as an attraction to ‘prepubescent’ children.
Biologically, puberty is a process that happens over a period of years and is highly variable at the individual level.
The psychiatric institution – a nest of looney bins in its own right – the psychiatric institution allows to the age of thirteen for their ‘diagnosis’ of pedophilia.
Most of the girls and women involved were ‘pubescent’ according to society’s current criteria.
That said, Nick Bryant spoke to a psychiatrist who said she had been contacted by victims younger than thirteen.
So, this is not only not ‘limited’ to pedophilia but in fact involves many more victims who were pubescent – and some adult victims as well.
—
‘it’s an edge case within much larger elite social networks, which have much larger societal, political and economic effects / dimensions.’
‘although pedophilia gets a lot of attention, it should be viewed as less significant than other elite network distortions. (Yes, pedophilia is devastating for the victims, but the number of people affected by the other predations is many orders of magnitude greater.)’
This simply isn’t true.
This isn’t just garden-variety pubescentphilia among some elites who are drunk on power.
This is deeply structural and is used to create and maintain systems.
It is integral as to why ‘the number of people affected by the other predations is many orders of magnitude greater.’
None of this is new and none of it is unique to ‘the west.’

I wonder if this is partially why Mike Pence was so weird about only being around other women if “Mother” was present. He’s a Christian fundamentalist ninny, but perhaps he took his vows quite seriously and was propositioned as Governor of Indiana or as a Trump’s VP running mate. Perhaps a test was run at Mar-a-Lago?

On the other hand, the world must also be full of wannabees who are not the slightest attracted by sex with underaged, who could use the knonwledge as a threat, and a way of making their own carreer.

I know this is a small thing, but after seeing the glaring silence by the American Left on the ever-deepening evidence of Chomsky & Epstein’s friendship and high regard for each other after Epstein’s conviction as a sex offender (where is Democracy Now? Mother Jones? The brash young podcasters? Greg Grandin in the Nation basically said “no biggie, Epstein’s cool” a couple of months ago) and the outright defenses of Chomsky and downplaying of Epstein’s crimes from Aaron Mate, Nathan Robinson, Matt Taibbi and others, I’m grateful that at least one old-time leftie blogger still has the moral clarity to see that pimping underage girls to the world’s elite isn’t OK.
Thank you.
