My Thoughts on Jeffrey Epstein and the MAGA-Based Fury at Trump For Betraying His Promise to Root Out the Upper Class Pedophiles and Sex Traffickers
Nick Bryant is an expert on upper class pedophilia and sex trafficking whom Chris Hedges interviews: lots of good information comes out
I just read this Chris Hedges Substack interview with Nick Bryant (author of The Franklin Scandal, an excellent exposure of a Nebraska-based upper class pedophile organization) and found Hedges’s interview of Bryant to containe a lot of credible information about Jeffrey Epstein and pedophile organizations more generally, and the way that very many people in the upper class are pedophiles and are under blackmail control (kompromat) by organizations such as the CIA and Mossad.
This information makes it clear why so many people in the MAGA movement, to their credit, wanted Donald Trump to carry out his promise to root out upper class pedophiles such as Jeffrey Epstein and prosecute the upper class sex traffickers, and why these same MAGA people are so outraged by Trump’s refusal to carry out his promise today.
As Nick Bryant discusses, the CIA and Mossad (and J. Edgar Hoover in the past and who knows who else) use or used blackmail to control LOTS of upper class people and politicians (it’s called “kompromat” by the Russians who do it too) and this kind of control has been going on in the United States since it was used against Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. As Bryant also mentions, it is politicians who are controlled this way who often have the most successful careers. Being “kompromised” is a way of being certified as a trusted servant of the real masters of the universe.
Perhaps this is why ruling class secret college societies such as Yale’s Skull and Bones and Oxford’s Piers Gaveston Society have, shall we say, rather strange initiation rites.1 It is a way of making sure that no individual member of the ruling elite will dare to “go off track” because they know all the others have “kompromat” on them.
I read Nick Bryant’s The Franklin Scandal several years ago and wrote the following Facebook post about it:
Here's one of the many well-deserved five-star reviews of this book [*] I just finished reading:
"I am a soccer mom, news junkie, and sober professional not at all given to being enticed by conspiracy theories. I first heard about Johnny Gosch, which led me to the Franklin story, which led me to this book. I guess I was naïve, because I had no idea that a conspiracy of this scope, involving law enforcement and many powerful people, was actually possible. Recent news out of the UK, however, illuminates the fact that these things do, in fact, happen. Disadvantaged children and youth are clearly at risk from organized sexual predation by powerful people who are able to manipulate even law enforcement agencies. And something is clearly rotten at the core of Nebraska, where many of the players who conspired to repress the truth still live and work, and where the official story is still that the whole thing was a hoax."
Nick Bryant, the author of this extremely good book, exposes how truly evil people (murdering pedophiles) in all the key institutions of the United States (the FBI, CIA, the judicial system including top judges and prosecutors, the mass media--local and national, the Catholic Church, nationally and not just in Nebraska, where the story is focused) have the upper hand and use it to protect murderous child prostitution and related blackmailing by the most powerful people in our society. The positive reviews on Amazon are all true, and I suggest you read them.
I wish that this book, published in 2009, had generated a massive uprising to remove the evil people from power and thereby create a real, not fake, democracy. If and when that ever happens then the kind of people with the real power in society would be, for a change, the kind that Nick Bryant describes who, at great personal sacrifice, stood up for the truth and against the evil, only to be crushed by brute violence--sometimes lethal--, threats and lies.
But this book did not, unfortunately, generate such an uprising. Why not?
The book itself explains why not. Such books, with their message of truth about evil-doing by the rich and powerful, might get published by a small publishing house, but they don't get published by the big publishers who can promote a book in the mass media the way they promote those by people like Hillary Clinton; they are prevented from reaching a critical mass of the population. Furthermore, no TV network news anchor will tell listeners that the assertions in the book are true.
What this means is that the few people who do read the book never come to believe that they are part of a large majority who are outraged by the book's revelations; they will know that they are merely part of a very small number of people who know about the book and are outraged by its revelations. And knowing this, they will refrain from even trying to organize the massive uprising that is called for.
The closest thing we've had to a massive uprising against evil pedophilia is the one against the Catholic Church. While it is a good thing that it happened, let's be clear. The ONLY reason it happened is because the mass media wanted it to happen. The billionaires in control of the mass media have long had a conflict with the Catholic Church, going back at least to John D. Rockefeller, Sr. So the ruling billionaire plutocracy leaped at the chance to use the Church's sordid infestation of pedophilia to take it down a notch. But this same ruling plutocracy is not about to take down its own FBI and CIA and oppressive judicial system and mass media!
The mass media does sometimes expose and prosecute pedophilia by a small number of individuals, such as Jeffrey Epstein and the handful of celebrities connected to him. But it doesn't expose the culpability of its valued institutions. The public will not, therefore, be told--even if it is true, which I suspect it is--that Epstein was an Israeli Mossad agent setting honey traps to blackmail powerful people into towing the Zionist line.
The Moral of the Story
The kind of evil that Nick Bryant exposes in his book is what I call secret evil; it's evil that the ruling class is able to keep sufficiently secret so as to prevent a large public uprising to develop against it.
In contrast to secret evil is non-secret evil. Non-secret evil includes all of the things the ruling class does openly and routinely to treat us like dirt, many of which I identify. [**] The ruling class treats us like dirt so routinely that we tend to stop taking note of it. For example, paying us poverty wages, refusing to provide good housing and driving many to homelessness, making people debt slaves with college loans, using the "poverty draft" to make people enlist in the military to kill innocent people or be killed and suffer PTSD or become suicidal as a result, and the list goes on.
We CAN build a revolutionary uprising against the NON-SECRET evils, because, in contrast to the secret evils, everybody already knows about them; they know they are true and, furthermore--and this is KEY!--, they know that everybody ELSE knows they are true even if there's no "Walter Cronkite" saying they're true. And this means that people can be confident that in opposing these non-secret evils committed by the rich they will not be alone, which is a crucial requirement for a mass movement to develop, as I discuss here.
But to build a movement against the non-secret evils we must condemn them for being not only objectionable but also UN-NECESSARY, because a MUCH better world is possible, an egalitarian world. We need, in other words, to spread an explicitly egalitarian revolutionary [***] vision of how the world OUGHT to be, a vision that--because most people love the idea whenever they hear about it--can unite the vast majority into a truly revolutionary movement. Let's do that!
Please Dump this Wrong Idea
Some people who focus on conspiracy secret evils seem to do it because they have a wrong idea about what it takes to persuade people in large numbers to rise up against the rich. They think--wrongly--that what is required is to somehow shock people out of their apathy to make them care about the evil that the rich do, and that to shock them this way requires exposing the most horrifying evil act(s) imaginable that the rich secretly do.
But this is a wrong understanding of what prevents people from rising up against the rich. Apathy--i.e., not caring--has never been the problem; people care. It is hopelessness that is the problem. People feel hopeless about being able to do anything to stop the things--evil acts of the rich--that they care about because they feel alone in wanting to stop these things. The mass media's #1 job is to make people feel alone and hence hopeless this way.
As I learned in the anti-Vietnam War movement in 1969 (discussed in my "What Causes a Political Sea Change?") two things make a mass movement develop: #1. Lots of people knowing that they are morally right in opposing something that lots of people know the rich are doing; #2. Lots of people knowing that they are joined by lots of other people in feeling this way--that they are not alone in this feeling.
There will not ever be a large mass movement against secret evil deeds that only a small number of people will be convinced are truly happening. But there CAN be a large mass movement against the evil deeds that that the rich OPENLY commit against us. So let's focus on those openly committed, non-secret, evil deeds of the rich.

Hi, I appreciate your report on the Epstein scandal and book review that documents the sick crimes of pedophilia and trafficking engaged in and advanced by powerful people who work secretly outside public purview.
I agree with you that liberating from plutocracy requires a mass movement of a shared desire to not be dominated by them. You phrase this aspiration pithily as ‘let’s remove the rich from power so we can have real and not fake democracy.”
As you know, Green Liberty Caucus, a collective voice of indignation against state crimes, and a call for a liberation coalition that aligns with the egalitarian aspiration, is dedicated to getting justice and accountability from the plutocracy for key crimes: JFK and other 60’s assassinations; September 11th / Anthrax attack and more recently the Covid crime, among other malfeasance. https://greenlibertycaucus.org/green-liberty-calls-on-green-party-to-make-calling-out-state-crimes-an-element-in-building-green-movement/
State crimes are not “secret” events; they are evident, but Plutocratic media obfuscates as you well know. There can be no diminishment of calling out plutocratic malfeasance; it qualifies as an end in itself, but I am with you, that we lever this terrible travesty into an egalitarian revolution. https://greenlibertycaucus.org/in-solidarity-with-egalitarian-revolution/
On the matter of Jeffery Epstein and MAGA disappointment at Trump and Bondi not delivering on the promise to get some accountability for Epstein, Trump’s covering up of the Epstein scandal is no surprise.
In fact, the covering up of the Epstein event, his role as manufacturer of the Mossad / CIA Kompromat ‘honey trap,’ his impunity to run a honey trap, and his apparent murder in jail, are not “secret” matters. They are only “secret” because legacy media does not report on the crimes.
That ordinary people are not “convinced” a criminal cover up is an issue, is not a reason to dismiss the fact of a high level criminal conspiracy to cover up a state crime as a relevant issue to tie into the aspiration to remove the rich from power.
True, many people in the ‘truth movement’ seem to like to talk ad nauseam about the lies, but this is irrelevant to that fact that high level conspiracies are a real expression of the power of the plutocracy, and should be explicitly called out. Indeed, truth activists should be leaders in a call to remove the evil force behind state crimes from power. Green Liberty takes inspiration from Cynthia McKinney. https://greenlibertycaucus.org/cynthia-mckinney-address-to-lawyers-committee-9-11-truth/
Liberating from plutocracy, sociologically and politically speaking, requires a collectively stated intention to not have a plutocracy, and replace the power elite with a real democracy, and this means people step up and claim democratic destiny; however this gets accomplished. We agree we need to declare an intention, so others know they are not alone in desiring to be free from ruling class domination.
You have dismissed the value of indicting the plutocracy for its role in conducting and enabling and living off of state crimes because it is “secret” and people are not convinced “state crimes” are true.
Alternatively, you point to a zillion ways the plutocracy treats people like dirt and argue a liberation movement should focus on those issues to rationalize an egalitarian revolution. Yet, you admit “the ruling class treats us like dirt so routinely that we tend to stop taking note of it.”
So, in the end, an egalitarian revolution needs to remind people that we are treated like dirt because we accept the bad treatment just as a co-depedent accepts living in an alcoholic relationship.
I think you are too binary in your thinking (“secret” versus obvious) about how to appeal to the people to advance an egalitarian revolution. State crimes and the cover ups, is not a “secret” issue versus obvious issue; the issue is that we stand in solidarity for the possibility of a real democracy and a fair and rational society.
How do we appeal to that? You suggest there is nothing to appeal to; that people already accept the proposition to remove the rich from power, they just need to know they are not alone in this aspiration.
That is easy to accomplish if we all just accepted the proposition, and state an intention, which you do in your front line activism inviting the conversation to remove the rich from power.
In the end, people come to accept the proposition to remove the rich from power for many different reasons.
You pose that the moral depravity inherent in the plutocracy as an unjust social and political fact needs no rationalization to oppose and remove from society; it’s obvious how they treat us like dirt, you suggest, so they should be removed from power.
However, I disagree with you on this. As you admit, we are inured to the corruption of plutocracy, to being treated like dirt because we have come to accept ‘them’ as a fact of life. Yet, you insist we build an egalitarian revolution by inviting people to accept the proposition as the first step.
However, in the end, people need a reason, in my opinion to ditch the rich. In the American Declaration of Independence, Jefferson penned a number of reasons to rationalize withdrawing consent to be governed by the king of England.
Don’t dismiss the power of indignation at state crimes. They are not as “secret” as you think. The wicked evil power of the elite, manifest in state crimes and the cover ups they require, may be the galvanizing reason people come to accept they need to liberate from plutocracy.
I willread Bryant's book because of you, John, but it is beyond disgusting to think that such "secret evil" is true.
