"There is an elite cabal of wealthy men, and a few women like Ghislaine. They cross party lines but they are united in their desire to control the world. They believe they are entitled to control the world. …
What unites this cabal is a desire—and desperate need—to maintain power. That’s why, although they cross party lines, they have a common enemy: Democracy."

"Epstein matters. It’s not just the horrific abuse of children, although that’s at its core. It’s about power, corruption, and the roots of our political crisis.
It is about how we got here, and why democracy is on the brink."

"When the Supreme Court’s Trump-loving majority makes decisions without explanation, ignores precedent, explicitly calls for precedents to be discarded, and abandons some the most important laws in our history, it’s because they think the Constitution and the law belong to them."

"And it lessens pressure on congressional Republicans to distance themselves from this travesty and conduct a full investigation. Worst of all, it treats Trump as a bystander."

“'Epstein scandal' is an entirely inapt description of what we are facing. The shorthand minimizes the underlying, horrific criminal enterprise, airbrushing out the victims and their quest for justice. It shields Trump, Bondi, and the entire Justice Department from the appropriate level of scrutiny."

"The high court won’t stop him; he owns six of them so completely, it is fair to wonder if any of them, especially the sexual harasser and the sexual assailant, were friends with the dead pedophile. ...
We cannot rely on help from any of these people or institutions.
We—we the people—must demand his resignation."

"It does not serve their financial interests to do so. (Also: many of the most powerful people on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley were also friends with the dead pedophile who ran the industrial scale child sex trafficking operation.)"

"The legacy media is not going to demand his resignation. A clutch of rapacious, plundering oligarchs owns most of the newspapers, TV stations, cable news channels, and social media outlets, and it does not serve their interests to do so.
Neither Wall Street nor Silicon Valley is going to demand his resignation."

"In and of itself, that should disqualify these people from ever functioning in polite society themselves — though it will not, because we do not have, and never have had, a society that is polite."

"The people at the highest echelons of 'polite society' — from Washington to New York to Palm Beach to Cambridge to Europe to the Middle East — continued to treat Epstein like one of their own.
The fact that he was a pedophile meant nothing to them."

"Here is what is so utterly gross about tranche of emails released by the House Oversight Committee last week: really powerful people — people at the highest echelons of finance, academia, and government — continued to treat Jeffrey Epstein like a friend and confidant virtually until the moment of his arrest on July 6, 2019."

"It isn’t a surprise that a Jeffrey Epstein would come to such prominence and influence in a period like this one. Decades of Neoliberal redistribution and the corruption of our politics and the rigging of our economy, which is what always happens in these types of eras, has created a class of insulated elites whom predictably engage in debauchery."

"Epstein’s 'friends' are everywhere. They are giants of finance, academic leaders, politicians. There is nary a corner of power within the United States that hasn’t been infected with his evil. ...
It helps to understand that for an individual to reach the highest echelons of wealth and power in this system they must be willing to hurt people."

As the US House prepares for its vote on the Epstein files, Aaron Parnas interviews Epstein abuse survivor Annie Farmer, whom Epstein (and Maxwell) groomed when she was 16.
What stands out in her testimony here: the "systemic failures" of institutions including the criminal justice to listen to Epstein's victims. "It's time to do the right thing," she tells Parnas.

"And as a consequence, they set the rules by which the rest of us live…and where it suits them, they violate those rules if only to prove to us that they are different."

"CEOs get geometrically richer while the minimum wage does not rise. The percentage of our wealth controlled by a tiny fraction of people rises while that for which the rest of us must struggle shrinks. A handful of families and kleptocrats control more wealth than the majority of humans on this earth."

"The Epstein case is an example of the degree to which the very rich have been able to carve out roles that while occurring within our society are not of our society. They live above us, exploiting us as they require or desire to but not subject to our laws or moral codes. …
Inequality has exploded in our society."

"Many of the emails to and from Epstein are marked by a tone of haughty knowingness, a kind of worldly, smug cynicism I’ve encountered before in people who think that they are smarter than everyone else. Maybe in the haughty world of billionaires and private jets, it is considered provincial to think that adults should not have sex with children. Maybe to them, morality is for the little people."

"There is no evidence that these men participated in Jeffrey Epstein’s habitual sexual abuse of girl children. But their interactions with him suggest a kind of blithe tolerance of his presence in their midst, a seeming comfort in exchanging intimate – and sometimes lewd – exchanges with a man they must have known to have sexually exploited a child."

"But the documents also reveal the stunning breadth of Epstein’s connections among the nation’s elite, including long after his initial 2008 sex crimes conviction, and the extent to which other men in positions of great power considered him a confidant or voice of reason."

"The Jeffrey Epstein story makes no sense unless you realize that he was deeply entrenched in the foreign policy elite, a fact that gave him much of the impunity he enjoyed for most of his life. Powerful people felt comfortable around Epstein because he was one of them."

"Contrast [what Bunch says] to a prominently displayed New York Times feature story that puts a nostalgic gloss on Epstein’s world. Looking back on that world and the people who inhabited it, it carried the headline, Epstein Emails Reveal a Lost New York."

"The timing couldn’t be better, or worse, for this midnight of the elites. The overblown stock market fueled by an AI hallucination is set to burst any moment, and new hiring is already grinding to a halt — just as the price of everything from steak to coffee goes through the roof and health insurance is doubling or tripling for millions of Americans."

"about the much deeper rot that’s already been laid bare about the entire decrepit class of men (because they’re almost all men) who rule the world with atrocious grammar amid a non-stop booty call.
I’m not a financial expert, but if I had disposable cash I’d avoid the hyperinflated AI bubble and invest in a company that manufactures pitchforks."

And as Will Bunch reminds us, the Epstein cover-up is part and parcel of this story of the overweening power and arrogant immunity of the grossly rich:
"I don’t know if the emails, so far, are enough to take down Trump, but the president should be even more worried — and he probably is —" (continued in /8)

"It would be funny if it weren’t so perfectly tragic. The dopey-ist son of a fake billionaire (pre-crypto scams) turned fake president, who likes Gatsby parties and golden toilets, go on oligarch-tv to lecture the struggling masses about how easy it is to move half a billion dollars. While sipping Merlot."

"And now, we’ve arrived at the logical conclusion of all this—Eric Trump, the barking embodiment of dumb-son nepotism. A laughable lout with inherited intellectual necrosis and the empathy of a Terminator wrapped in designer smugness."

Pointing to Eric Trump as the "patron saint of the stupid rich," Cliff Schechter says,
"Hello Second Gilded Age.
An era where a reality-show President with the wit of a drunken walrus would actually fight in court to starve Americans. Yes, Trump argued in court that food our laws required him to give people—so they don’t die—should be denied. So they do."

"First, ignore billionaires when they threaten to take their marbles and go home. The big money always responds to threats of tax hikes, or even mere verbal criticism, by threatening to go all Ayn Rand and move to Galt’s Gulch. In reality, they won’t even move to Florida."

Carr's proposal, which was released on Thursday & is scheduled for a vote on August 7, criticized the previous administration's approach. Carr intends to focus the next #FCC inquiry on the statute's "is being deployed" phrase rather than looking at whether broadband has already been deployed. Carr's proposal said: [pic]

§706 of the #Telecommunications Act requires the #FCC to determine whether #broadband is being deployed "on a reasonable & timely basis" to all Americans. If the answer is no, the #US #law says the FCC must "take immediate action to accelerate deployment of such capability by removing barriers to #infrastructure investment & by promoting competition in the telecommunications market."

A Radical Podcast Ep 9: #RadicalCommunityBuilding
"In this episode of A Radical Podcast, host Jason Bayless takes listeners deep dive into the transformative concept of ‘Radical #CommunityBuilding.’ We explore its historical roots, the challenges faced; the triumphs celebrated, and its vital role in today’s society. We demonstrate the power and necessity of collective action in confronting systemic injustices such as #EconomicDisparity, #EnvironmentalDestruction, and #oppression.
"Our ‘#Anarchists and Radical News’ segment highlights the #MutualAid Acupuncture Collective based in #PortlandOregon, showcasing their remarkable commitment to shared power, equity, and mutual responsibility principles. This collective, born amidst the uprising for Black lives and matured through the pandemic, aspires to create a model for this type of mutual aid work that can be replicated elsewhere. You can also support Mutual Aid Acupuncture Collective by visiting this GoFundMe Page.
"For the ‘Updates about A Radical Guide’ segment, we focus on the #WestOaklandMuralHouse, a vibrant testament to the legacy of the Black Panther Party and an extraordinary example of radical community building in action. The mural, honoring the women of the Black Panther Party, has quickly become a powerful centerpiece of this community, serving as a destination for meeting, gathering, remembering, and looking forward with hope and determination.
"Packed with inspiring stories, practical wisdom, and actionable insights, this episode invites you to rethink, reshape, and radicalize your approach to community. Tune in to ‘Radical Community Building’ and join us on this transformative journey."
