As I see it | Epstein files reveal the underbelly of Western elites
If such are the people who run the world of business and politics, we are all doomed
In the 1980s and 1990s, there was a wave of mass hysteria sweeping across the United States based on fear of satanic cults, child abuse and sacrifices.
Well, it turns out maybe it wasn’t ordinary Americans but the elites who are more into that sort of thing.
I will skip the revelations about former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor; there are a lot more juicy bits from the latest release of millions of pages and photos from the US Justice Department on the order of Congress.
On a vast estate owned by the late Epstein on Little St James – which is part of the US Virgin Islands in the Caribbean – there stands a creepy cube-like structure adorned in blue-and-white stripes, flanked by palm trees and overlooking the sea on a stone terrace decorated with bold pink geometric shapes.
Epstein, who died in prison, owned a number of such properties where young mostly female victims were trafficked to rich and powerful people. Some were allegedly beaten and tortured. The official conclusion of prison suicide has been questioned in many quarters, thereby fuelling conspiracy theories about Epstein’s death.
