Jeffrey Epstein, who died in 2019, left a burdensome legacy that many are desperate to extricate themselves as the global elites caught up in the Epstein web find themselves confronted with their perversions that they never cease to denounce.

Sordid as can be, sickening in many ways, the Jeffrey Epstein affair continues to make the global elites tremble, whether political, economic, financial or even technological. The latest example to date is Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, who admitted to having had extramarital affairs with two young Russian women in the lap of the billionaire who died in 2019.

Because the Epstein affair is proving to be a slow poison, a timed venom that contaminates day after day strata of individuals who perhaps thought themselves, because of their status, untouchable and protected. In a boundless cynicism and in a perversion that is perhaps just as cynical, the billionaire and his accomplices set up a misguided system using the weakness of young women and the feeling of impunity of certain individuals encouraged by the silence of those around them.

Lies and Deception

In France alone, the former and charismatic Minister of Culture Jack Lang, and his daughter Anne, have been named in this case where lies and deception are mixed and where, above all, rape culture in the highest spheres of society had become commonplace.

Often quick to give moral lessons to a majority of ordinary individuals who are generally led to respect the law and its moral fundamentals, the global elites have developed a marginal world where the vulgar and common law did not apply, because it was too restrictive in view of their desires and fantasies. Authorized by the power that was theirs, acquired by birth, status or the money at their disposal, these elites threw opprobrium on the duty of exemplarity that was theirs and that they made it an honor and a duty, they claimed, to defend.

The reality turned out to be simpler: Jeffrey Epstein was just a pimp in his Sunday best who used his wealth and influence to satisfy the unhealthy needs of men of power in need of sensations. The remarks are deliberately intended to be exhaustive, but they summarize in a few selected words a reality that has not finished catching up with those who have put their finger in the gears.

Of course, not all the names cited in this case are borne by individuals who necessarily used Epstein's special services. But it doesn't matter, the fact of having frequented the individual marks the person with a hot iron and the question is immediately asked: What did you have to do with him?

Epstein's name appears today as a foil, a black death that continues to infect those who have come close to him. The Clintons named in the case, President Donald Trump, whose name also appears, and so many anonymous people suddenly see their future darkened, swept away by the whirlwind of facts as well as rumors that are rife. To which is added an ultimate paradox, even dead, Jeffrey Epstein continues to poison those who have approached him from near or far.
