No stupid answers either, I just want your honest thoughts.

I assume the trickle truth’ing around Epstein files* and Trumps behavior is supposed to distract from the growth of surveillance, the mass production of modern war devices (drones etc), and the problematic growing addictions to phones, as well as (not so) slowly developing idiocracy due to that.

And therefor also distracting us from taking control of the things we can still change.

Please be kind, these are just my thoughts. I’m interested in yours as well.

*saying that because there isn’t much new information, we already know there had been rape and sex trafficking and some more cruelty. so it’s just bread crumbs thrown at us to look at it again even though we know whats going on

    The Epstein files obviously contain a lot of information about rape and trafficking, which is very understandably and rightly in the spotlight. But what the files also contain is very detailed information about exactly how our laws and financial systems are being actively exploited to maintain the power of a select few. That is something that is much harder to write a quick article about, by design, but we haven’t even seen some of these names mentioned in the media:

    • de Rothschild (with a very illustrative diagram in EFTA01114424)
    • Thiel
    • Rockefeller
    • Murdoch
    • von Habsburg

    And those are just individuals, not companies. We haven’t heard anything about JP Morgan Chase, Sotheby’s, Goldman Sachs… Or even the universities like Harvard.

    You can’t usually pull a single short damning quote from an email for them because it’s not as simple as the horror of one person raping children, but it lays the foundation of how this horror was allowed to continue at such a large scale by so many people.
