The Epstein Files are Worse Than You Think! (www.youtube.com)

The first two batches of the Epstein files have finally been released, and the revelations are explosive. For decades, the media and the justice system ignored the most basic question: Who helped him? Now, thanks to thousands of pages of newly released DOJ documents, we know that there were the co-conspirators.

In this video, we look through the latest evidence to expose the network of co-conspirators and high-powered enablers who made Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes possible. We go beyond the headlines to reveal the specific individuals—from Ghislaine Maxwell to banking titans like Jes Staley—who were far closer to Epstein’s operation than they ever admitted.

We break down the bombshell New York Times investigation that dismantles the myth of Epstein's "financial genius" and uncover the bipartisan cover-up that kept these files buried for 40 years. From Donald Trump’s newly revealed flight logs to Bill Clinton’s White House connections, we show how a "two-tier" justice system worked to protect the powerful at the expense of the truth.

Tried by who? The Americans who allowed them power?

More like whoever comes to rescue us from ourselves.

No one is coming to save us.

We must do the work of demanding accountability, beginning with our local leaders, and rising all the way to the top.

for my part, im tired of: being laughed at; looked at as if i have 2 heads; people just kinda vaguely agreeing saying something to the effect of 'it is what it is'; legitimate criticism, whether agreed with or not being deferred with 'just wait for 2026' as if the election itself wasnt suspect; or just being plain ol, flat out ignored by self-proclaimed 'organizers' who quit after 2 months.

call me a rat if you want, i want off this sinking ship. its refusal to rescue itself and complete breakdown of social fabric that would allow such a thing to take place is the biggest reason why.

Well, as I say, solutions will not be handed down from the top.

We must do the work together of solving our own problems.

I certainly respect anyone who feels the need to leave, but mobility is a privilege not available to everyone. Moreover, we should all respect everyone willing to stay for the fight. Simply, many would prefer fighting to keep their homes over fleeing elsewhere.
