We keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down, and who knows even his regime or the empire.

A piece by investigative journalist Carole Cadwalladr, connecting the paedophilic culture of the Epstein orbit to our own.

He also told me that a culture which reveres female youth and innocence despises female age and experience. It disgusts them, scares them. That’s our paedophiliac culture too; misogyny of adult women is the opposite of sexual desire for girls, an inverted mirror.

Epstein has given us an extraordinary portal through which we can now see how hostile state influence, criminality and the impunity of the billionaire class are intimately enmeshed. That’s the piece I still want to write. But we can’t understand any of this until we realise that Epstein isn’t just a doorway, he’s also a mirror.

His culture is our culture.

@fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net has kindly pointed out in the comments that one of the citations used by the author is to an article by a shady Christian anti-porn group. I have shared my thoughts on this in the comments too.

I agree: the article linked to seems to make a reasonable argument
