Epstein, Western Decline, & The Moral Collapse Of The Elites | ZeroHedge

"What is at stake is no longer who “visited the island” or who “caught a ride on Epstein’s plane.” What is at stake is the fact that networks of this kind only exist when they are backed by deep institutional protection. There is no ritual pedophilia, no human trafficking on a transnational scale, no systematic production of extreme material without political, police, judicial, and media cover. This is not conspiracy: it is the logic of power.

From this point on, the West can no longer hide behind the idea of gradual decline. It is not merely cultural degeneration or a loss of values.

It is something darker: an elite that operates outside any recognizable moral limits and yet continues to govern. People directly or indirectly involved with this world continue to decide elections, wars, economic policies, and the fate of entire societies.

If there is anything positive in this moment, it is the end of naivety.

It is no longer possible to pretend that the system is “sick but recoverable.” What remained of the Western (anti-)civilizational project has been corroded from within. What comes next is still uncertain – and will be contested by all possible and necessary means.

But one thing is clear: after Epstein, nothing can continue as before. Anyone who acts as if nothing has changed either does not understand the gravity of what has come to light or is pretending not to understand."
