Sex Trafficking Prosecutions Won’t Stop the Next Epstein. Here’s What Will.

What can be done to stop another Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and their network of people who participated in the abuse of more than 1,000 girls and young women? Right now, the U.S. right and carceral liberal forces (including many Democrats) are focused heavily on demanding that the Department of Justice release the grand jury files related to the Epstein case — as though this “smoking gun” will finally clarify everything and bring perpetrators to justice.

The New Epstein Files - Full Analysis

We've talked about Jeffrey Epstein in the past, diving mostly into his Intelligence Connections, specifically those within Israeli Intelligence (Mossad).

The Epstein Files Cover-up: Botched or Calculated? | The Listening Post

The latest tranche of the Epstein files contains more than three million documents - the largest release of its kind. In what appears to be a clumsy attempt at a cover-up by the US Department of Justice, the sloppily redacted names of high-profile perpetrators have failed to conceal the intricate web of global elites spanning politics, royalty, Hollywood and tech.

The Epstein files - and the coverup - reveal all we need to know.
Call a friend. Start organizing. Get educated. Let’s put this primitive “predatory phase” of humanity behind us. We know what to do. We know how to feed, house, clothe, and care for all of us on this miraculous floating orb in outer space.

Epstein, Trump and Mossad: It's Worse Than You Think

Double Down News investigates the evidence suggesting Jeffrey Epstein ran blackmail operations for Israeli intelligence, with deep ties to Donald Trump now being erased from public records.
