As is well known, Jeffrey Epstein recently died in prison. It is equally well known that he was being charged with various sex crimes, including that of ‘’trafficking underage girls’’. This is a rather polite way of saying that he was alleged to have sold children, girls under the age of seventeen, to various rich men. It is further alleged that he made video recordings of these ‘’liaisons’’, these ‘’encounters’’, these rapes of children! By numerous rich and powerful men!
Of course, under our democratic system, everyone who is charged with any crime, is entitled to their ‘’day in court’’. ‘’Innocent until proven guilty’’, as is the expression. Properly so, I might add. Yet that ‘’day in court’’ never happened, as he was found dead in his cell.
His death was officially ruled to be a suicide. ‘’Death by hanging’’, even though there was no way he could have hung himself! As I have gone into this in a previous article, there is no need to repeat it here.
Yet since I wrote that article, there have been certain ‘’recent developments’’, such as the fact that Ghislaine Maxwell has been transferred to a different prison, one which is classified as ‘’minimum security’’. As well, a possible ‘’presidential pardon’’ has been mentioned, for reasons which defy all rational explanation. Unless, of course, it is to ‘’shut her up’’, to ‘’buy her silence’’. Her freedom, in exchange for her silence! Not to mention the possibility of also arranging for her ‘’suicide’’, if she chooses to release the names of Epstein’s clients!
This has given rise to an increasingly powerful mass movement, or a ‘’public uproar’’, if you will. For that reason, I have chosen to write another article.
The ‘’suspicious death’’ of Jeffrey Epstein, a man who is widely considered to be a most ‘’prolific pedophile’’, a child molester, has not ‘’broken the heart’’, of too many people. ‘’Good riddance’’! It ‘’could not have happened to a more deserving individual’’, is the attitude of so many common people. So why are those same people so focused on the ‘’Epstein Scandal’’?
Because the under age girls, the children, who were sexually assaulted, were raped, robbed of their innocence, have now been denied justice! Possibly as many as one thousand! Some of these victims, now of course adults, have even been driven to suicide!
Even though Epstein was never ‘’held to account’’, in a court of law, that was only because he died in prison, almost certainly murdered, before he had a chance to be brought before a judge. And in such a case, he could possibly have revealed the names of his clients!
The same can be said of Ghislaine Maxwell, his ‘’accomplice’’, his ‘’partner in crime’’. She ‘’groomed’’ those under age girls, pretending to be their friend, gaining their trust, and then betraying them. This self described ‘’British Socialite’’, as well as non self described ‘’former associate and fixer’’ for Jeffrey Epstein, was convicted of ‘’child sex trafficking and other offences’’, in a federal court. She was sentenced, in 2022, to twenty years in prison.
It is not too surprising that she maintains her innocence, falsely accused and convicted. After all, every other prison inmate says the same thing. They would have us believe that our prisons are filled with harmless little lambs. Ha! So how is it that this particular little lamb has been transferred to a minimum security prison?
We are not about to get any answers from the mainstream press, as it is owned and operated by the multi billionaires, the ruling class of people who are technically referred to as the bourgeoisie. The journalists who work for these outlets, are careful to report only that which their bosses approve. It is in their best interest to do so. To even suggest that a considerable number of those multi billionaires, may be listed as ‘’clients’’ of Epstein- child molesters!- is strictly forbidden!
For that reason, it is the ‘’Leftist press’’, the journalists who do not answer to the multi billionaires, those who post videos on the internet, who are able to provide us with the answers.
In fact, the Leftist press reports that no less than one thousand FBI agents were put to work, twenty four hours a day, in order to ‘’flag’’ any Epstein files, which contained the name of Donald Trump. As there are reported to be one hundred thousand files, each containing three pages, that ‘’flagging’’ took a while.
The term ‘’flagging’’ is used to make sure that any files which contain the name of Trump, is not to ‘’see the light of day’’.
Even though it is estimated that at least one thousand underage girls have been sexually assaulted- raped-, yet merely two people have even been charged. Those two people are Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Now Epstein is dead, and Maxwell has been moved to a minimum security prison.
Yet it is the duty of law enforcement personnel, including the FBI, to identify and prosecute the individuals responsible, the child molesters, the pedophiles. Instead, the FBI is covering up those crimes. The multi billionaires must be protected!
It is entirely possible that all of the Epstein files, as well as countless video recordings, in which Epstein filmed the rape of those girls, may be destroyed. Not to protect the victims, but to protect the guilty! The child molesters!
Regardless of whether or not the Epstein files are destroyed, or merely with held, the point must be stressed, to the working class, that this is merely an example of class conflict, of the working class, the proletariat, in conflict with the capitalist class, the bourgeoisie. Donald Trump is merely the spokesman, the ‘’mouthpiece’’, for the multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie.
It is also a fact that the ‘’mass movement’’, of the working class, the revolutionary motion of the proletariat, is now very broad and deep. It is so powerful, the House of Representatives was shut down early, for the summer recess, in an attempt to prevent those Members from taking any action, which was opposed by the ruling class of monopoly capitalists, the bourgeoisie. Unsuccessfully, I might add.
In support of that previous statement, may I draw the attention of the reader to a video, recently posted on the internet. It is titled, ‘’National Politics: House Committee issues subpoenas in Epstein controversy’’. Despite the fact that the House is in recess, the journalist reports that:
‘’House lawmakers are pushing for more information in the Jeffrey Epstein files. Today issuing subpoenas for former President Clinton and a number of Democratic and Republican officials….On Capital Hill, lawmakers still focused on the files of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The House Oversight Committee issued subpoenas to former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and several former top Justice Department officials, in both Democratic and Republican administrations, to testify before the Committee on Epstein. It’s an interesting group. They’ve certainly cast a very wide net, and you have people from all political parties being subpoenaed to come. Will the public ever hear this information? That is unclear. As of right now, these are supposed to be ‘’closed door’’ depositions. Republican Committee Chairman James Comer, who has been pushing the White House and Department of Justice to release all the files, also issued a subpoena to the DOJ, for the complete un-redacted records, related to Epstein, on or before August 19. This is the latest move in a controversy that has plagued the president, over his former relationship with the now deceased financier. NBC News has learned that the DOJ is now considering releasing a transcript of the interview, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch, the president’s former lawyer, did with Epstein accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell. She’s convicted of sex trafficking young girls, and last week she was moved from a low security federal prison, to a less secure prison camp. For weeks, President Trump has claimed the issue is a hoax, blaming Democrats, and trying to move on’’.
Incidentally, Epstein was found dead in his cell on August 19, 2019. Also, the question of the ‘’public ever hearing this information’’, is a matter of the strength of the revolutionary motion, of the working class. As that revolutionary motion is now very powerful, it is ever more likely that it will be made public.
It is clear that the ruling class of monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie, are deeply divided, squabbling among themselves. It is just as clear that the working people, especially the proletariat, are deeply dissatisfied. This discontent is growing. In other words, the situation is revolutionary.
Marx and Engels went into this, in the Communist Manifesto: ‘’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. Just as, therefore, at an earlier period, a section of the nobility went over to the bourgeoisie, so now a section of the bourgeoisie goes over to the proletariat, and in particular, a portion of the bourgeois ideologists, who have raised themselves to the level of comprehending theoretically the historical movement as a whole.’’
It is clear that the class struggle is ‘’nearing the decisive hour’’. The ruling class is deeply divided, in the ‘’process of dissolution’’. Their plan to abolish the democratic republic and establish the rule of an Oligarchy, led by Trump, has not proceeded as they had anticipated. An unforeseen difficulty, a ‘’bump in the road’’, has made an appearance. That little difficulty is the revolutionary movement of the working class. Who ever would have thought that the death of a child molester would have led to such an uproar?
Yet such is the case. Not because the working people are ‘’all broken up’’ over the death of Epstein. On the contrary, their attitude is one of ‘’good riddance’’. It is the manner of his death, which was clearly a murder, in order to ‘’shut him up’’, to keep him from revealing the names of his ‘’customers’’, those who are ‘’rich and powerful’’ men, child molesters, one and all.
So many children were terribly abused, robbed of their innocence. Now as adults, they are being denied justice. The very system which is supposed to protect them, including the law enforcement agencies, such as the FBI, are now frantically protecting their abusers!
That is the reason the working people are so upset! It is becoming clear to them that the ruling class of multi billionaires, the members of the bourgeoisie, consider themselves to be ‘’above the law’’. For years, many of them have been molesting children, and getting away with it. Not any more! Not if the working class has anything to say about this! And rest assured, they are saying this! Loud and clear!
Now we can expect a ‘’small section of the ruling class’’, the ‘’bourgeois ideologists’’, those who are capable of comprehending the revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin, to ‘’join the proletariat’’, the ‘’revolutionary class’’, the class which ‘’holds the future in its hands’’.
As I have documented in previous articles, it is certainly in their best interests to do so! There is no need to repeat it here. Suffice it to say that the country can best be compared to a ‘’powder keg’’, in that any spark can cause an explosion. The tension is extreme.
Perhaps an example is appropriate. At town hall meetings, in even ‘’deeply red states’’, the politicians are being heckled, ridiculed for their defence of the multi billionaires. They are facing chants of ‘’Tax the rich’’!
A full scale uprising, a revolution, could break out at any time. Even the staunchest supporters of the bourgeoisie, can see the ‘’writing on the wall’’. One such supporter is revealed in a video titled, ‘’Trump Gets Dire Warning From Ex- Fox News Host’’. In that video, Gretchen Carlson, who is introduced as a ‘’Journalist and Co- Founder of Lift Our Voices’’, stated, ‘’There will be an insurrection if he (Trump) pardons Ghislaine Maxwell.’’
She is so right! For the moment, this uprising is spontaneous. It lacks direction. Leaders are required. Otherwise, the revolution could succeed only in overthrowing one set of rulers, and replacing them with another. ‘’Out of the frying pan, into the fire’’! Not a vast improvement!
Monopoly capitalism must be replaced with Scientific Socialism, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. The completely reactionary class of multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie, must be overthrown and crushed, by the working class, the proletariat. Otherwise, they will return to power, as they have in both the Soviet Union and China.
It is up to true Marxists, Scientific Socialists, Communists, to explain this to the working class. We can learn from the mistakes of previous revolutions, or we can repeat those mistakes!
There is an urgent need to raise the level of awareness of the working class. The most advanced workers must be raised to the level of conscious people, true Communists, aware of the revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin. They must embrace the goal of true Scientific Socialism, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. They in turn, will lead the less advanced.
As I have mentioned on numerous previous occasions, the Essential Works of Marx and Lenin are available, on the internet. At a very minimum, State and Revolution, by Lenin, is an absolute necessity. It documents the fact that the existing state apparatus must be smashed, at the time of the revolution, and replaced with a working class state apparatus, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, in order to crush the bourgeoisie, as they make every effort to restore their ‘’paradise lost’’.
We will know we are getting our message across, when the expressions Dictatorship of the Proletariat, Workers of the World, Unite!, and Scientific Socialism, are common place.
