Epstein’s legacy is simply the canary in the coal mine of The West’s deep, dark, depressing, subterranean cavern of human failings.
It’s a rotten, stinking, oozing, vicious, viscous, discordant, shameful, venal, sick, unholy mess…
I’m talking of course of the cabal that own the world; that have more power than national governments and influence our lives minutely. Their entitlement, greed and sense of invulnerability is not something us ordinary folk can really comprehend.
While we are rightly shocked at Epstein’s paedophilia and trafficking of young women, his hold over the seemingly endless numbers of powerful men who shared his view that any other human was theirs to use and own, is more broadly about greed, power and corruption. With the drip of information contained in the infamous Epstein files, we are simply getting a glimpse into just how deep the rot goes, how wide, how extensive the networks.
The perpetrators were overwhelmingly men and vastly, outrageously rich. And many of them, while riding rough shod over the vulnerable and weak, are responsible for running the world we live in.
Anyone paying attention is aware of the Oxfam statistic that
The world’s top 1% own more wealth than 95% of humanity.
Solving the man-made problems faced by so much of humanity is difficult to achieve because so much is stacked against the required outcome.
Many structures are rigidly, deeply embedded in the status quo.
Difficult it may be but complicated it most definitely is not.
Many folk on our precious planet with its dwindling damaged resources are in need.
A tiny handful at the very top have wealth beyond imagining.
There are estimated to be 800 billionaires in the US and even the tiny UK boasts 156 according to The Times Rich List.
Our outdated systems focus tax on income and not wealth and that is the first and very least of things that need to change. But which government will do this with the billionaires and all their resources constantly stroking them and flunkies like Lord Mandelson ready to put their rich mates before their duty to country.
Humanity is now painted into a corner. The people we desperately need to get under control have all the power.
It’s tough but it is in no way complicated.
'It's complicated' is the biggest lie in town.
It’s painfully, clearly, heartbreakingly simple…
A handful of greedy corrupt nasty fuckers have it all.
