The mere mention of Jeffrey Epstein conjures unpleasant imagery of sexually perverted elites abusing their power and influence to satisfy their hedonism. While sex scandals and harlotry are not uncommon in Washington, D.C., the accusations of pedophilia have given Epstein and his associates their own place in the D.C. Hall of Infamy.  The politicisation of the Epstein scandal changed the case from one centred on the moral degeneracy and sexual depravity to a shameless battle between the Republicans and Democrats.

What Epstein’s underage girls have demonstrated is that the rich get richer, their urges get sicker and more nefarious. What many may be wondering is why U.S. leaders are always centre stage in these Greek tragedies centred around moral lapses, and usually resulting in one or several unexplained suicides. It appears that the same social and economic freedom which is central to the American way of life has turned half the country’s elites into sexual deviants.

America is the hotspot of both modern life and ignominy. Regardless of the verity behind Epstein’s operation, and whether or not his links to foreign intelligence are verifiable, the politicisation of what is essentially a criminal sex scandal served a political agenda. Politicising criminal cases serves one purpose: to obstruct justice and distort truth.

When a felony becomes politicised, it is no longer a question of justice. The politicisation of the Epstein scandal changed the case from one centred on the moral degeneracy and sexual depravity of the men and women in power to a battle between the Republicans and Democrats.

In such a blurred political nuage, the offenders almost always walk free. Had justice and the unmasking of the perpetrators been the goal, the case would have remained criminal, and the Epstein files would have been released long ago (with redactions due to minor privacy laws).

Now, the public’s attention has been successfully shifted away from unmasking Epstein’s pedophiles, as masses of people engage in a debate of the moral inferiority of one political group over another, forcing one to wonder to whose advantage was the politicisation of the Epstein case?

Based on officially released documents, it is evident that most of the Epstein-Maxwell clique were high-profile Democrats. Other than the Clintons, Bill Gates, Alan Dershowitz, and Noam Chomsky, American journalist Michael Wolff, who authored several books criticising Trump, is also a confirmed Epstein associate. Larry Summers and Kathryn Ruemmler have also been named, both Democrats who served in the Clinton and Obama administrations.

While there is no confirmation as to when Epstein and Maxwell began recruiting high-profile individuals for their circle of hell, the two met in the 1990s. Their global child smuggling operation was likely operational in the early 2000s, as there are records of Epstein contacting publicists to discredit his victims’ stories as early as 2011. In the 2010s, prominent New York media outlets also prevented a story about Epstein from breaking into the mainstream news.

It wasn’t until 2018, during the Presidency of Donald Trump, that the truth about the Epstein ordeal came to light. While Trump’s friendship with Epstein is a matter of public record, so was their falling out. Trump ultimately banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago “for being a creep”, and accused Epstein and Maxwell of trying to recruit female employees.

It was later speculated that Virginia Guiffre was among the Mar-a-Lago employees recruited by Maxwell, after a statement made by Trump. While Democrat nominees shied away from the Epstein files, Trump repeatedly addressed him, vowing to release the files and deliver justice to his MAGA base.

So, what happened? Many wonder why Trump has not delivered on his campaign promises, and claim that he must be implicated in the files to prevent their release. What is more likely is that the Democrats have implicated Trump, duped into releasing the files, meaning, taking on the public and political burden of the Epstein scandal in front of the nation.

Regardless of Trump’s innocence, the association between his administration and the name “Epstein” is a Democrat plot to taint him with what they themselves are guilty of. Despite the Clintons being among the closest in the Epstein-Maxwell entourage, the name Epstein has been successfully linked to Trump in the media and in the public eye.

Epstein’s associations with members of left-wing political parties are the only certainty of the scandal thus far. Internationally, his associates were mainly Labour Party members; his most prolific relationship with the left-wing Israeli politician Ehud Barak is central to the entire scheme. Barak is not only accused of being a pedophile and rapist, but also a sexual sadist.

Even in Israel, there are no proven links between any right-wing politician and Epstein; the Epstein virus is decidedly a virus of the left, a global pedophile network run by the globalists. As Trump tries to “Make America Great Again” and return to a policy of isolationism, the shadow of Epstein lingers over his effort, a shadow illuminated by a Democrat-run projector, no doubt.

It is important to note that it is likely the degree of sexual depravity engaged in by Epstein’s Island goers was significant enough not only to take down high-profile Democrats, but to taint the entire party. Whether the U.S. deep state would ever allow this is questionable. When has the globalist deep state ever been, in any way, pro-Republican?

On Trump’s morality, one must question whether a man who does not even drink alcohol, vows off smoking and drugs, is a likely member of Epstein’s inferno? In everything, including his religiosity, Trump appears as a puritan. On his sexual preferences, he has made no effort to hide his preference for tall, beautiful, Slavic-looking women.

In fact, his entire sexual history is a canonical fact, either sealed by matrimony or featured in the tabloid press. While Epstein and Maxwell cater to their international friends with extreme sexual preferences, Trump’s multiple marriages were extreme enough in his New York circles.

Another question that must be asked is the Russian role in the Epstein scandal. While Epstein is widely speculated to be working for the Mossad, as Ghislaine’s father Robert Maxwell was, one must remember that Maxwell Sr. was also accused of working for the KGB.

Destroying the public’s trust in the entire American elite, thereby delegitimising the government of a global superpower, is undoubtedly in the interest of the Eastern hegemon. Any scandal which involves the American ruling class affects the geopolitical power balance, making Putin a direct beneficiary of the Epstein scandal.

The role of the Chinese must also be questioned: a nation seemingly involved in nothing beyond trade and economic affairs, yet somehow benefiting from its non-association and its involvement in the modern world. While Russia, China, and even Iran may use the Epstein scandal as proof of the corruption of the West, authoritarian dictatorships and totalitarian societies have no right to lecture the free world on scandals which have occurred in all free societies throughout history.

Under the Islamic Regime in Iran, the absence of an Epstein is not proof of a nation or religion’s moral superiority, but the control of the regime over the sex lives of its population and administrators.

The Trumpian revolution, which has been promised, has been sterilised by the Epstein virus. Trump’s attempts to redirect the U.S. inwards and implement a Woodrow Wilson-style isolationism would ultimately hinder the Democrats from their international associations with prolific child sex traffickers.

Ultimately, the Epstein case is an attempt by the Democrats to force the resignation of Trump, just as the Democrats used the Watergate scandal to force the resignation of Richard Nixon, for the simple reason that a popular populist Republican President is difficult for the deep state to dictate to.

While the origins of Trump’s billions are well documented in his lifelong career in business, the hundreds of millions of USD amassed by Nancy Pelosi, the Clintons, and other high-profile Democrats are less traceable. What kind of career in public office leads to one becoming a centennial multimillionaire?

The economic scandals are tied to the sex ones, as an excess of the latter has brought with it a preference for perverse sexual behaviour. While Trump tries to steer the globalists back to the mainland, the main hurdle he is encountering is the name Jeffrey Epstein.
