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.

I was chatting with with my bro today. I asked "how do you just - do that heinous shit?" I remarked that I could never do what they did to those people if i got rich and powerful.

He's like "you sure? How do you know you wouldn't?"

And the more i think about it, I'm not so sure. Are we all just monsters forced to be good by the status quo? Are we brainwashed to be good? Is being evil the best way to live and we're all just suckers?

I honestly feel sick thinking about the implications.

How can good ever win? What the hell can we do?

Sorry for the cringy rant but I'm pretty broke up about it.

A lot of the rich and powerful got that way by being psychopaths. Then they go to a party where they see other bigwigs of all stripes doing psychopath stuff and they shrug and figure they can get away with it — they’ve gotten away with everything else after all.

It’s just a small slice of the Epstein network that was doing the worst stuff. Chances are you or I would go to that party, talk to some interesting people, and maybe do some blow and fuck a trafficked adult (not knowing they are trafficked) and probably not even know about the truly heinous stuff that was going on in other rooms.

As a sophisticated kompromat enterprise they had to, on the one hand, facilitate truly depraved behavior while on the other hand not letting people see that who would be upset enough about it to do something. They probably sussed out the level they could entrap you into and led you down that path.
