What is coming out in the Epstein files is a prime example of how power corrupts, and how the people responsible for such corruption will do whatever it takes to keep their power in place. This is why marginalised people are turned into scapegoats. It’s also why refusing to look the other way to prescribe to the lies of those in power sees people being labelled as ‘woke.’
Donald Trump once said that the Epstein files were merely fabricated by members of the Democratic Party. Now that we know how prevalent Trump is in the files, we can see why he said this.
“Epstein is a terrific guy who likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side”, Trump said in a 2002 interview with New York magazine.
We’re not ‘woke’, we’re awake.
We’re awake to the truth…
Making scapegoats out of the marginalised to cover their backs
There are no trans people in the Epstein files, or ‘illegal’ immigrants, the two minority groups that are most under target. What there is, however, and in abundance at that, is the world’s richest and most powerful. This includes high-profile figures in entertainment, and even more worryingly, government advisors, and, in America’s case, Presidents, both current (Donald Trump), and former (Bill Clinton). And the reason for this is simple. With money, the law (or rather, the lack thereof) can be bought.
This is why, despite having been accused of rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment by at least 25 women, Donald Trump is the president of the most powerful country in the world.
When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.
… Grab ‘em by the pussy.
On multiple occasions, Trump has stated that if Ivanka were not his daughter, he might be dating her. This included a 2006 appearance on The View where he and Ivanka appeared together, and he remarked that she had a “very nice figure”.
If commenting on your own daughter’s sexuality wasn’t bad enough, in 2023, a New York jury found Trump liable for the rape of the American journalist and author, E. Jean Carroll. Trump was ordered to pay $83.3 million in damages as a result.
Just consider that for a moment, and let it sink in…
Let it sink in that the same man who is the current president of the United States is a rapist, and there’s proof.
Make it make sense…
The question is… Why?
It might not make sense why such people are allowed to be in charge of a whole country, but what does make sense is that none of it is about sex, it’s all about domination.
It’s one thing to want to dominate a country that hasn’t given consent (as Trump has proven, he’s hungry for it, just ask Greenland), but it’s quite another to want to dominate a body that hasn’t given consent. To make it yours. To silence it. Restrict it. End it, if you want.
Power-hungry people, evidently, will stop at nothing to get what they want, even if the cost of it is their own humanity.
