As you are surely aware, the contents of the Epstein files have been heavily redacted and the overwhelming majority have not been released, despite the legal deadline passing on Friday.
Ricky, hope and optimism shine through your article and these are essential elements to transformation and change. I found your argument both uplifting and cogent. The alternative would be resigning ourselves to a world in which the powerful are allowed free reign with their debased activities.
Corruption is built into the system Ricky, it would need a paradigm shift the likes of which we’ve never seen. Outside of a proper revolution it’s pretty unlikely. Too many citizens have too many mortgages to pay.
The point I'm making is this is the chance for the paradigm shift. This is the one thing that could bring their system crashing down. If paedophilia can't do it, nothing can, and we might as well give up now. This is our last shot.
The US Security state/military industrial complex and almighty dollar is way too big to fail, much bigger than the few creeps who end up “in charge”. It will easily allow presidents and their allies to go down in order to maintain its power, don’t you think?
Are you saying we give up? I've always been in this to win.
This is the chance we've been wating for. Just look at how the popularity of MAGA politicians and influencers is plummeting. Ben Shapiro's career is in crisis. Democrats are doing no better whereas the likes of Thomas Massie are skyrocketing in popularity. Things are changing.
I share your disgust of the present US system of governance and would love to see a more humane one. It’s so highly militaristic, armed (even the citizenry) and dangerous - I can’t see it ever laying down its weapons voluntarily. This is not something we can ‘win’.
I'm with you Ricky, while the paedophile's and their enablers have managed to go about unchecked - change is coming - I believe that the majority of humans are okish people, they just have to be angry enough to stop being silent and start being vocal about predators and perpetrators not being welcome in our society.
Well done for spreading a bit of hope. It's much needed in the sea of despair. X x x
The risk is when the media and the liberals try to make this just about paedophilia. The perversion is just a convenient tool for the Zionists/Nazis to ensure the right people stay on side, in case they become ideologically weak or someone else buys them. The real story is how Israel and the USA created a situation where only a half-dozen world leaders will oppose genocide. Mark Carney - who would have guessed?
You may not be an American but as an American, I can say that you are spot on. We refer to the GOP as the Guardians of Pedophiles because even though they're Dems that need to be held accountable, the Republican Party can't seem to shake itself of "Lolita loving lawmakers".
Since I wrote this Friday it’s become even more clear that Trump’s DOJ is going all in on the cover-up. From the almost comical release of every Clinton photo to pulling photos and mentions of Trump after the fact, expect more of the same.
Why?
Because Donald Trump is guilty of such unspeakable crimes that he can’t survive their exposure.

I agree. I will be a witness of the fall of an empire that is trillions of dollars in debt and still borrowing money to support Israel to cover their pedo asses!
Unfortunately the entire Western world will be financially impacted as well.
So the biggest issue is paedofilia and not that the UK will soon just have gone too far with its overt and covert war against Russia and get itself pulverized, in the process reaping the whirlwind from Centuries of Colonial Imperialistic slaughter throughout the Empire and as the US' most manipulative lackey?
Do you not even understand that different cultures, many of which are included in the UK in large numbers, allow marriage of young teens and even younger?
Odd how there's always an ignorant Islamophobic moron in England squeaking away. Don't blame the "others" mate: it's the morons and wealthy elite who have taken England down .
I read your first comment and wonder if you read the article.
The issue is the one that can move people, not that it is the most pressing. All the same, they are well connected due to those who need to go from positions of power and wealth.
Yes, I read the article. I see its thesis as that political and other elites being involved in pedophilia, as shown by the recent reveal (& continuing conceal) of more information on the subject will motivate the masses to somehow take action to create an admirable, peaceful, and just society.
The reality is that there has already been plenty of information to prove pedophila. For whatever reasons, the masses have not mounted much of a challenge to their rulers, while the people continue to lose rights to free speech, jury trials, their social programs. (in UK but also elsewhere).
Genocide in Palestine and fighting to the last Ukrainian, has not led to major positive changes in the West, as the public pedophilia scandal remains in the headlines as pedophilia itself surely continues.
I bet most of the readers of this Substack do not need the pedophilia facts or scandal to motivate them to be against mass murder and and the further unfolding of WW3 and in favor of free speech.
It seems a truism that those who seek power disqualify themselves from being given power by an enlightened people.
Another is that Revolution is usually achieved by a relatively small group of people who seek power, some of them in self-defense.
And successful power-seekers prompted the statement: by Lord Acton (perhaps having so many examples in British history):
"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Every politician on the planet is past his/her sell by date. We all seem to be living in a global gerontocracy.
Yes, if anytime in history, now is the time for the hackers and leakers to quit fucking around for profit and apply that skill set for doing good.
You think think the powerful will allow us to "clear them out"? Come on...
they might be about to lose that power

The Roman/British/Byzantine/Spanish/Persian/Aztec/Ming Empire is too big and powerful to fail!
The power of each was actually in the narratives of myriad 'powerless, little people'. I think that Ricky sees that and highlights it here.
There’s something a bit different to all of those Jack, the power it wields is of another scale and protected with layers of complexity.
Very inspiring article, Ricky. Thank you. Lets hope the Truth Will Set Us Free as Joan Baez used to sing

If you want to go further back read the Franklin Cover Up in its entirety.
Britain is just as bad. People going to prison for nonviolent protests against genocide. But the UK doesn't have the power of the US.

Brilliantly well said , and urgently necessary . John Lennon’s epic poem/song “Imagine” leaps to mind . I also wonder what
Leonard Cohen would be writing today , were he alive to do so . ( In other matters , “transparency in government” is an urgent
need in Australia as well .)

"The public are not going to vote for paedophiles, not any more." I hope you're right. But they voted for a convicted sex offender.
"Imagine a new generation of politicians who have never taken AIPAC money." I hope this comes true, but I'd be surprised if it did.
I agree. I will be a witness of the fall of an empire that is trillions of dollars in debt and still borrowing money to support Israel to cover their pedo asses!

So did “me too” , and nothing happened
You got to be kidding, Ricky.
