Why the Epstein Scandal May Be the Most Important Story of the Decade

The Epstein underage sex-trafficking and blackmail story may be the most important story of the decade. It is a parable for much that has gone wrong with Western civilization, the story of the corruption of a ruling elite not merely on a human level but on a spiritual one, the explanation of our current condition.

The characters in this sordid drama seemed to have accepted their damnation and determined to live out their debauchery without even the possibility of redemption. Despite the prestige and opulence of its setting, Epstein’s was a world of despair where the shadow suicide or guilty evasion was the price of stimulation.

There was something joyless about that life despite its veneer of trendy causes and intellectual advancement. There seemed more happiness and hope in an African hut than in their deceit ridden palaces. If that was the view from the top, then it was the view from hell. Cynicism on this scale is hard to hide from the public. What they glimpsed, dismayed. The elite seemed convinced there was no God or worker’s paradise, no balm in Gilead, no justice on earth. But as to the devil — he most definitely existed.

The Epstein scandal was one of many recent events that suggested the custodians had betrayed their stewardship. If culture is the mind of a civilization, no society can long survive the corruption of its own legacy and symbols. The photo of Ghislaine Maxwell and Kevin Spacey seated on the thrones of England as guests of Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton respectively seemed to do just that.

If the corruption is as deep as I think it is, and if it is exposed as much as I hope it is exposed, then this whole thing unravels everything back to the French Revolution. Biggest story of the decade? Think bigger.

Partner, the Epsteins were involved with the Clintoons and this is all we have say about the Epsteins.

The Clintoons will never explain why so many folks died suspiciously around them and this is why the Clintoons are a forever marked couple.

If The FBI dos their job, Clinton is implicated in weeks. Thus, Hillary is tarnished, thus Weak Joe is stained.

Let the chips fall where they may.

And I don’t care who they are. If they are involved in this kind of crap they need to be locked up. But as I always say...When you are a member of “The Club” you don’t have much to worry about.

The FBI's job appears to be protecting the FBI and you should assume they'll do just that. In the meantime, just assume the Clintons are untouchable and you won't be disappointed.

Good bet nothing happens. Certainly not before Election Day.

Assuming the same glacial pace as the Russia counter-investigation, we won’t hear anything until after the election. If Trump doesn’t win, we’ll never hear anything.

The Clintons tried to saddle up to the Bush Family and now that family has the taint too.

Epstein is only a piece of the puzzle. You had to be “in” with the in crowd by participating in the debauchery. Comet Pizza in DC, the Podestas in Chicago, and Hollywood. Witchcraft, child rape and ritual obscenities. Probably thousands of big names and not-so-big journalists, actors and actresses, powers in government. Sign our contract with the devil or we will destroy you.

There are likely a whole lot of elites that could be named.....however since this is an investigation for criminal activity they will be selective in what can bring actual conviction of the accused and her crimes.

I guess “Sid Vicious” Blumenthal will be pressed back into service as “The Cleaner?”

The Epstein story converts “conspiracy theories” into “conspiracy observations” like nothing else.

The Epstein saga pales in comparison to the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

Both parties knowingly violated the Constitution.

I’m sorry, but the story of the decade is the Democrat attempt to overthrow a duly elected government of the United States. Period.
