I am heartsick.

As a young boy, I experienced horrific sexual violence, which I have written about before and which continues to mark me even decades later. It means that I cannot tolerate anyone who exploits young children in a way that is not merely moral but physical: I am utterly repulsed by anyone who harms children and shudder when I hear anyone who even disciplines a child. Two of my children are adults, and two are still children and with each of them I have felt and feel deeply about their fragilities and their futures. For me, there are no second chances for a person who violates a child.

I read about the Jeffrey Epstein case because it hurts me greatly to read about the dangerous violence inflicted on children and young people.

But of course, it was impossible to ignore the emails between my friend and collaborator Noam Chomsky and Epstein. I have read what I can, and I have seen what I need to see. Noam has been a great mentor for me, and we have made two books together. Both books were written around the time that he was in correspondence with Epstein.

  1. I am still going through the emails....And the more I read, the more I am convinced I am right that the people who decide on what country to invade, what genocide is acceptable, scam people with fractional reserve banking---behind closed doors, rape and kill kids...

  2. You could be right Frankie or it could be confirmation bias. Misuses of power though does often precede power abuses.

  3. Henry,

    It's not "confirmation bias", it's looking at the evidence and drawing the only conclusion that any right-minded person would come to.

    All anyone has to do is simply read up on the names surrounding Kincora, Dutroux, Pizzagate, Epstein---throw into the mix any of the religious sex abuse scandals and by and large it is almost always the same names and families...

    Let's not forget about the Grove in Northern California, where the bankers, rich and famous, again, heads of state, like to dress up wearing KKK outfits and blow their loads over redwood trees while they laugh at the world falling for the fractional reserve banking scam....

    One day, I hope the world wakes up and starts to understand that the people whom they vote for, trust with their finances, etc. -----A lot of them at the top of the food chain are very sick people.----There is a wealth of information about them, and most people write it off as some sort of tin hat conspiracy....

  4. Read my comment again, Frankie. I said you could be right! It's possible and even probable that some of those in the highest decision-making positions raped and killed children. The certainty evidence isn't fully there ... yet!

  5. Henry,

    I have read, and I understood your POV. And it reads (to me) like you are fence sitting---trust me, those that fence sit, get splinters in their bum. The evidence is out in the public domain....

    I am sure you know the stories of both Richard Kerr, and Clint Massey and how they were sex trafficked from Kincora boys home to palaces in Westminster to be raped by members of the British royal family and British politicians ....Today we can all read in the Epstein files how young vunerable girls were sex traficked to the same places to be raped and abused....In mainland Europe, there was L'affaire Dutroux,......In Norway ..... The Epstein files are threatening to split Norway’s royal family in two------ Norway's crown princess apologises after pressure over Epstein friendship------ ‘Can Mette-Marit be queen after this?’: Rape trial and Epstein files bring double crisis for Norway’s royals

    The Catholic Church and every other religious institution you can name have covered up sex abuse.....

    In 2016, I wrote a piece for TPQ called Fuck you John Podesta. I got laughed at by some quarters on TPQ because I questioned why members of the Democratic party cover up child abuse, and the constant reference to "Pizza" The same references to "Pizza" can be found all over the current Epstein files .

    A lot of the people named in the Epstein files and the Podesta/Clinton email dumps---rich bankers, heads of state, and politicians--- like to go to Bohemian Grove, dress in KKK type outfits and worship Moloch and blow their loads in front of each other behind redwood trees.. Bill Clinton is on record saying, "Rich Republicans like to rub themselves against redwood trees" ... Nixon said something similar years before.

    The bankers who help cover up child sex abuse---JP Morgan, Citibank---those two banks paid approx $500 million to the victims of Epstein...They are also behind the banking scam--- listen to what Epstein told Steve Bannon

    The certainty evidence isn't fully there ... yet!

    Really???
