Elon Musk recently announced that his newly created America Party, will make the ‘’exposure of the Epstein files’’, a ‘’top priority’’. That is precisely what countless working people want to hear! This calls for a little explanation.
Jeffrey Epstein was an American ‘’financier’’, a capitalist, a billionaire, a highly successful ‘’investment banker’’. He ‘’rubbed shoulders’’ with some of the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world. These included Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump.
He was also a convicted sex offender. For many years, it is alleged that he ran a very profitable, child sex trafficking ring. It is further alleged that he, with the assistance of Ghislaine Maxwell, was responsible for the rape of numerous under age girls, possibly as many as nine hundred, some as young as twelve years of age!
Bear in mind that underage girls, by law, cannot give consent, so that any sexual acts, with such girls, constitutes an act of rape.
In 2019, the state of New York charged Epstein with ‘’sex trafficking’’. In an attempt to avoid federal charges, Epstein pleaded guilty to less serious charges, and was sentenced to 13 months in prison. Despite this, while in prison, the federal government charged him with ‘’sex trafficking dozens of underage girls’’. Epstein was looking at spending the rest of his life in prison.
Then in August of 2019, Epstein was found dead in his cell. His cause of death was officially ruled a suicide.
On a related matter, in 2020, New York federal prosecutors charged Ghislaine Maxwell with ‘’sex crimes’’, saying that she helped recruit the underage girls, whom Epstein abused, sometimes participating in the abuse herself. She was convicted of multiple charges, including ‘’sex trafficking, conspiracy and transportation of a minor for illegal sexual activity’’. She is currently serving a twenty year prison sentence.
This is significant, because she ‘’knows where all the bodies are buried’’, to phrase it in popular terms. In other words, she knows the names of all the ‘’clients’’, the ‘’customers’’, commonly referred to as the ‘’Johns’’, all of whom are child molesters, technically referred to as ‘’pedophiles’’. Some of these lowlifes are among the richest, most powerful men, in the country.
Not that she is at all anxious to share that information! On the contrary, she is hoarding it! Such information is as valuable as gold! If someone really wants those names- perhaps Elon Musk?- then first, open that cell door, and grease her palm! Then watch how fast she ‘’sings like a little canary’’!
Now to return to the death of Jeffrey Epstein.
Immediately after Epstein was found dead, countless people questioned the official version of events, that of ‘’death by suicide’’. They point out that there were numerous extremely wealthy, and equally powerful men, who had a keen interest in shutting him up, permanently. After all, as all professional thieves are well aware, ‘’dead men tell no tales’’.
It does not help that certain details ‘’do not add up’’, to state it in popular terms. Such as the fact that the cellmate of Epstein was moved the day before he died. The fact that the video cameras did not cover the hallway, which included the door to his cell. As well, the location of the two guards who were supposed to be watching him, has never been explained.
The autopsy report was also ‘’less that conclusive’’, in that it was determined that the broken bones in his neck could have been caused by either hanging or strangulation. For that reason, a finding of ‘’inconclusive’’ was warranted, which calls for a more thorough investigation.
Instead, the investigators concluded, ‘’death by suicide’’, which makes absolutely no sense.
That is not the only thing, which makes no sense. Epstein documented the rape of countless underage girls. In fact, he frequently video taped them! His ‘’clients’’, or ‘’Johns’’, rich and powerful pedophiles, were filmed raping those girls!
Yet professional investigators, highly trained members of the FBI and the DOJ, among the finest in the country, are at a loss to identify even one of those pedophiles!
The common people, members of the public, American citizens, are outraged. Those girls, now adults, are being denied the justice they deserve! All because the men who assaulted them, are supremely rich! Multi billionaires!
It is to the credit of Elon Musk, that he is ‘’tapping into’’ this wide spread ‘’discontent’’, as the mainstream press so delicately phrases it. In fact, on behalf of his America Party, he has thoughtfully posted an ‘’Epstein Pedophile Arrest Counter’’, on his web site. This is to keep track of the number of pedophiles, clients of Epstein, who are currently being charged, as a result of the ‘’Epstein investigation’’. That counter is currently set to zero!
This is his way of mocking the lack of prosecutions, in the Epstein case. It is both effective and entertaining. Education through entertainment! Way to go, Elon Musk!
In another post, Musk stated:
‘’Time to drop the really big bomb.
‘’Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.
‘’Have a nice day, DJT’’.
Then in a separate post:
‘’How can people be expected to have faith in Trump if he won’t release the Epstein files?’’
An excellent question!
It is significant that, by July 9, 2025, this post had 32.6 million views! But only because Elon Musk got right to the heart of the matter!
On the subject of the ‘’Epstein files’’, a DOJ memo ‘’clarifies’’ the matter. It states that Epstein had no ‘’blackmail list’’. It goes on to say that, ‘’No further charges will be filed in the Epstein case’’.
To even suggest that Epstein had no ‘’blackmail client list’’, is ridiculous! He was well aware that if caught, he was facing life in prison! He was equally well aware that his rich and powerful clients could keep him out of prison! It was simply a matter of providing them with the proper ‘’motivation’’. A video of them raping an underage girl was just such a motivation! This is commonly referred to as ‘’blackmail’’.
So it is reasonable to assume that those same ‘’rich and powerful’’ people, did not wait for Epstein to carry through on his threats. They acted first, ‘’nipping the problem in the bud’’. They hired someone to kill Epstein.
This murder was immediately followed by a thorough ‘’cover up’’. The professional investigators were first told that the death of Epstein was a suicide, and then told to investigate, and come to the proper conclusion. So the officers went through the usual motions, and promptly lied through their teeth!
Now if they could only get their lies straight!
A fine example of this is the United States Attorney General, Pam Bondi. In an interview with Fox News, she stated that the ‘’client list of Jeffrey Epstein’’ was, ‘’Sitting on my desk, to be reviewed’’.
More recently, she stated that the client list of Jeffrey Epstein ‘’Does not exist’’! Such nonsense!
In all fairness, there can be no doubt that there are a few Americans who believe the official line, of the Trump administration, that the ‘’client list of Jeffrey Epstein’’, does not exist. Equally without doubt, few of those citizens are over the age of twelve! Everyone else is well aware that Trump and his minions are a pack of liars!
It is also a fact, that Elon Musk is doing a fine job of exposing the lies and hypocrisy, of those same people! For his own reasons, mind you! Political power! We can learn from Elon Musk!
Even though that previous statement may come as a great shock to many, I maintain that it is true. I believe in giving credit where credit is due.
Both Elon Musk and Donald Trump are multi billionaires, members of the same class of people, technically referred to as the bourgeoisie. As such, both are also completely reactionary. The only difference, is that Musk is far more intelligent.
The current ‘’bone of contention’’, between those two, is political power. Trump is the President, and is using that power in ways of which Musk disapproves. For that reason, Musk has started ‘’his own’’ political party, the ‘’America Party’’.
This is to say that the ruling class of monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires, those who comprise the class of people known as the bourgeoisie, are deeply divided! They are squabbling over the precise method of rule.
Marx and Engels went into this in their landmark work, the Communist Manifesto. As they stated:
‘’Finally, in times when the class struggle nears the decisive hour, the process of dissolution going on within the ruling class, in fact within the whole range of old society, assumes such a violent, glaring character, that a small section of the ruling class cuts itself adrift, and joins the revolutionary class, the class that holds the future in its hands.’’
The conflict, between Trump and Musk, can be considered to be part of the ‘’process of dissolution going on within the ruling class’’. For that reason, we can expect a ‘’small section of the ruling class’’, to ‘’cut itself adrift’’, and ‘’join the revolutionary class’’, which is the working class, the proletariat, the ‘’class that holds the future in its hands’’.
This is my less than subtle way, of suggesting that all of those who consider themselves to be socialists, of one persuasion or another, become active. After all, it is clear that the ‘’class struggle’’ is ‘’near the decisive hour’’. In other words, the revolution is very close!
Many of those self proclaimed socialists, but by no means all, have attended Universities. In particular, almost all members of the Democratic Socialists of America, DSA, are University graduates. As such, they have been exposed to the bourgeois distortion of the revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin. Now is the time to once again, read the Essential Works of Marx and Lenin. This time with an open mind.
As for those who have never been to University, and most working class people have never had the opportunity, may I suggest starting with State and Revolution, by Lenin. It is readily available, on the internet. It was written in preparation for the Great Russian Proletarian October Soviet Socialist Revolution. Our next American Revolution, will closely resemble that Russian Revolution.
As well, other works include the Communist Manifesto, as well as Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism, What Is To Be Done?, and Left Wing Communism, An Infantile Disorder, all by Lenin.
A careful reading of those key works, should give all revolutionaries a basic grasp of the principles of Scientific Socialism.
The problem is that the working class, the proletariat, is not aware of itself, as a class, with its own class interests. It is certainly not aware that it is destined to overthrow the completely reactionary class of monopoly capitalists, the bourgeoisie, and crush them, under the Dictatorship of the Proletariat! This awareness can come only from an outside source. What better outside source than Marx and Lenin?
The Essential Works of Marx and Lenin can provide that awareness. In this way, the most advanced workers can be raised to the level of true Communists, those who advocate for the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. They, in turn, can bring this awareness to the less advanced.
This stands in stark contrast to the utopian socialists, many of whom are of the opinion that socialism is a fine idea, but ‘’simply not practical’’. It is utopian socialism that is not practical!
There are others, self proclaimed Marxists, who are convinced that the revolution is bound to take place, and are determined to take over the existing state apparatus, at the time of the revolution, and set themselves up, as the new rulers. These people we refer to as ‘’revisionists’’.
It may help to think of the approaching American Revolution, as an ‘’Act of God’’, or a ‘’Higher Power’’, if you prefer, because that is precisely the case. Previous revolutionary experience has shown that, on occasion, countless people get into motion, and make history!
As for those who dispute that statement, may I refer you to the experience of the French Revolution. It was a completely spontaneous uprising! There were no leaders, although leaders did emerge.
The last thing we need, is another such uprising! We need an uprising of class conscious workers! Workers who are aware of themselves, as a class, with their own class interests! That includes the necessity of overthrowing the ruling class of bourgeoisie, of smashing the existing state apparatus, and replacing it with a new state apparatus, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat! Scientific Socialism!
With that in mind, our goal is to raise the level of awareness of the working class, the proletariat. We can do that by focusing on that which is of concern to the vast majority of working people. In this, as previously stated, we can learn from Elon Musk!
Bear in mind that countless working people are paying strict attention to Elon Musk! If only because he is focusing on that which concerns them. Further, he is doing this in an entertaining manner, without resorting to vulgarity! The same cannot be said of all too many Leftist people.
Our duty is to also focus on that which concerns working people, and use this to raise their level of awareness, preferably in an entertaining manner. Also without the use of vulgarity!
We can only hope that celebrities, especially ‘’Hollywood Movie Stars’’, will ‘’jump on the bandwagon’’, and join the revolutionary movement, for Scientific Socialism.
The reason I say this, is because common people, by whom I mean workers and family farmers, pay strict attention to that which celebrities say. Strange but true.
This places an unfair burden on those people, which is unfortunate. Not that life is fair, so that is not too surprising. It is what it is.
If it is any consolation, bear in mind that the one and only alternative to monopoly capitalism, is Scientific Socialism! Further, the monopoly capitalists are determined to wipe out the middle class, and establish the rule of an Oligarchy. This could even result in a state of fascism.
By contrast, under the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, to be established after the revolution, there will be a great demand for highly skilled individuals. These include scientists, engineers and business administrators. They will be paid accordingly.
Middle class professionals have everything to gain, and nothing to lose, by embracing the revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin. Feel free to get on board, and spread the message! We will know that we are getting our message across, when the following slogans become houses hold expressions:
Workers of the World, Unite!
Scientific Socialism!
Dictatorship of the Proletariat!
Peace! Democracy! Socialism!
Bombard the Bourgeois Headquarters!
