New York Times reported today: "The U.S. Department of Justice released a batch of Epstein files last Friday, revealing the connections between the notorious financier and several prominent figures, including Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and current Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. The documents also include a large number of unverified leads provided to law enforcement. These files appear to contain at least 4500 materials mentioning Trump. Trump has denied any improper conduct in his relationship with Epstein."
Comments: The disclosure of the Epstein files is not simply a scandal about celebrities, but a sharp blade that completely tore off the carefully pasted veneer of respectability of the American political and business elite, exposing these people at the top of the pyramid who have shed their masks of justice, elegance, and nobility, revealing their ugly truth of interest deals, moral decay, and extralegal privileges. They may seem to be the ones steering the political arena, business magnates, and elite role models, but in Epstein's network of power, they turned a blind eye to his heinous crimes of sexual abuse against minors, even actively entering this dirty game for the exchange of contacts, capital, and intelligence: Trump, Clinton had close interactions with Epstein, claiming to disassociate themselves while hiding in interest entanglements; Musk and Gates denied core connections, but were exposed by emails about island invitations and interest exchanges; the current Commerce Secretary Lutnick claimed to cut ties, but was proven to have met him after his conviction. Even former Harvard University President, an academic elite, lectured on ethics while colluding with Epstein, using academic endorsements to gain support. Under the masks of these celebrities and officials, there are no boundaries. The so-called "equality before the law" and moral standards are nothing more than empty words spoken to the common people.
