I'm not taking the really sick stuff I've heard about too seriously at the moment. It's all been from anonymous tips and just too over the top. It needs to be investigated, but I feel it's unlikely to be true.
The real worry is the emails from people to Epstein post his 2008 conviction, where people wanted to "party", or wanted favours, or wanted something else. These are people who can't claim they didn't know he was a paedophile. They knew and didn't care. These are not fakes or plants, these are clear evidence of moral depravity from key people in business and governments around the world.
A good example is Musk, who sent an
email on Christmas day 2012 wanting to come to an Epstein party. He knew exactly what sort of party it would be and he knew exactly who and what Epstein was. Musk was all in on this. But then he recently popped up in the UK at a rally talking about protecting women and children from rape gangs and getting onside with the far right loonies. He decries any attempt to limit Grok's child-undressing abilities as an attack on free speech. He's only one of a vast number of wealthy, powerful men (almost always men) whose own words tie them irrevocably to Epstein.
Exposing and rooting out this cabal will require an international effort. It will bring down some of the wealthiest and most notable people on the planet. I don't know if the world has the kind of leaders who will join together to actually do this. They seem to have gone very quiet.
At the absolute minimum, I hope that these people are removed from positions of authority, their careers ended, banks close their accounts and the media refuse to quote them. These people are now known to be liabilities, ticking time bombs that will take down governments or businesses who have no answer to "Why keep them onboard after the Epstein files were released?"
