We're obsessed with Epstein. But Epstein was one spy, one of many. How many Epstein's are still doing their horrors and their blackmails?

Even at this moment there will be another facilitator feeding the ghouls more young blood.

Thank you for continuing to shine a light on this.

Well presented Jonathan.

But you hesitate to take the ‘final step’ in naming that ‘exceptionalist culture’ within the global elite that is clearly behind this supra-national conspiracy to lead the world deliberately to the Armageddon from which only it will survive. And it does have a name.

As long as those of us who know what is going are unprepared to name and pursue the culprits those elite individuals involved will remain hidden too, protected by the system we are failing to properly challenge.

Thanks Jonathan. Right on the money as ever.

Now that the link has been made between Peter Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein will someone please pick up the trail which leads to Tony Blair and his main fundraiser Michael Levy, Lord Levy. What promises were made in return for that 1997 general election?

So true but I’ve been feeling nausea over what these people have done with no hope of justice or retribution for such heinous and truly horrific crimes. May your words have an impact on many so we can join hands as human beings of conscience to make sure such criminals not hide behind their power and money. They should face the death penalty if there was any justice; they abused the life they were given when they abused the most innocent and vulnerable of us who deserve to live good lives. I can’t say “normal” any more because these so called “leaders” are terrifyingly evil, and it feels as if these same criminals want to build concentration camps for forced labor while they continue their nightmarish power schemes. Unless we start doing something to stop them.

Finally a voice that stands out of the wilderness that is making it difficult to know truth!

Your voice rings true! Thank you

Thank you Jonathan, a well written and thoughtful takedown of our current political and social system. Be careful though, I don’t want to read in the Guardian that you have been arrested for “stirring things up” (to quote Laura Kuensberg)

Great article, although I don’t agree with the idea that both Mandelson and Mountbatten-Windsor are sacrificial lambs. Mandelson certainly is, the media seems to be going to town on his involvement with Epstein and quite rightly, but not Mountbatten-Windsor. Where he’s concerned there seems to be a concerted effort, on the likes of the BBC and Sky News at least, to keep the focus on Mandelson almost as if he’s providing the perfect distraction. While the storm surrounding Mandelson rages, there’s been hardly a mention of Mountbatten-Windsor’s proclivities, which should come as no surprise since The Royals ARE the Establishment and the BBC will do anything to protect it.

Jonathan, you are cooking my man. Thanks for reporting with such clarity what all of this means.

People find conspiracy difficult to believe, but the explanation is trivial: psychopaths rule the world. They always have. History makes more sense if you view it through that lens.

In any system (capitalist, socialist, democratic), the least compassionate and most ruthless tend to rise to the top.

As always, excellent work Jonathan.

There are numerous reasons why people would want to become so wealthy that nothing is outside their realm of possibility. This mindless pursuit of wealth is aptly summarised thus: “Neoliberalism is the pursuit of money and power for its own sake, divorced from any higher purpose or social good.” Such an accumulation of wealth and consequently power, is clearly immoral and nihilistic. It virtually says that there are no rules, morals or values. What we are experiencing is controlled chaos. This reckless behaviour of the super-wealthy says nothing less than: ‘Life is meaningless. There is no higher purpose. Whilst alive, we might as well take as much as we can from this world before we die, even if it means committing genocide’. It is only through suffering that one can really find meaning in life. It is ordinary people that give meaning to life through faith, love, and humility as Leo Tolstoy discovered 150 years ago.

Jonathan: I’ve been following your work for years - what an excellent (if extremely depressing) article. We’ve had 500 years of western ‘civilisation’, from Cortez to Netanyahu. It’s always the same story - avarice, oppression, war, slaughter, genocide. With the rise of China, Russia, BRICS and the global south, it seems to me that we can now hope for an end to this 1/2 millennium long depravity. I just hope and pray that the leaders of this fundamental shift to the east and south, have the skill set to gently guide the abomination that is the ‘west’ into incremental impotence, without them going out all guns blazing. 🤞

Another masterfully researched and written article from you Jonathan

Excellent article..exactly as it is..the essence of the global mire. Let's hope there is more of a wake up. I have been saying for years that all roads lead to Israel and the Epstein files show just how much. Complicity in the 'pandemic' for profit, bringing my country Greece to its knees in order to save the German and French banks..the list is endless. Epstein facilitated the genocide in Gaza. Without the complicity of those depraved power hungry people that he drew into his web, it could not have reached this point while the world stands by and watches, desensitised by real time death and destruction.

We need to wake up and pressure for the release of the rest of the files. The obvious names are being thrown to the wolves. The extent of the depravity has yet to be revealed because it could bring down this satanic house of cards.

Keep writing Johnathan... journalists like you are our only hope of waking people out of their mainstream stupor.
