The Client List that Disappeared

And so vanishes the last plume of smoke from the smouldering Epstein file. No client list. No murder. No cover-up. Just 10 hours of “surveillance footage” where no one did anything—except Jeffrey himself.

The long-promised revelations about the most significant elite sex trafficking case of the 21st century turn out to be… nothing. Zero. Nada. And the U.S. Justice Department? They look straight into the camera and say: “Trust us.”

You’d almost laugh if it weren’t so tragically absurd. For years, right-wing America hunted the “Epstein conspiracy.” The man who knew—who had the names of those who enjoyed massages from minors on private islands, in rows of seats at the back of the Lolita Express. Politicians, CEOs, royalty. The networks whispered about in backrooms, podcasts, and court hallways.

And Trump? He promised to blow it all open. “I know things,” he winked. His puppet, Attorney General Pam Bondi, waved a white binder labelled “The Epstein Files: Phase 1.” Phase 1? It turned out to be the phase of photo ops, content for conspiracy influencers, and documents already available in the public domain. It wasn’t even smoke. It was a smoke machine.

Then comes the punchline: “After months of investigation, there is no evidence of a client list.” And of course, according to the official version, Epstein took his own life—just as he was about to testify, in a prison where the cameras conveniently failed, the guards fell asleep, and the cell assignments had been changed. Coincidence exists.

Or does it? Because the absolute disappearance isn’t just that of a client list. It’s the disappearance of accountability. Of a moral compass. Of justice.

Instead of answers, we got a media spectacle—influencers posing with white binders as if on a Netflix set. “Transparency,” they call it in Washington. And those who ask questions are labelled “extremists,” “conspiracy theorists,” or worse: “right-wing.”

No, this isn’t a conspiracy. This is how power works. Not through secret cabals, but through open contempt for truth-seeking. The only lesson from Epstein? Power protects itself.

Always.
