A woman who was trafficked from Cape Town to Jeffrey Epstein’s private island in the Caribbean and ranch in New Mexico says her entrapment was more than physical.
Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking ring extended all the way to Africa’s southern coast - held together by the invisible chains of psychological bondage that kept his victims ensnared for years at a time.
“Invisible chains is a good way to put it, it was like I was handcuffed invisibly,” says 43-year-old Juliette Bryant.
“I’d never even told my family, I never told anyone about what happened with him until he died.”

Its so weird in our timeline seeing certain celebs get cancelled for so much as a whiff of bad news while others can continue to be a president.
Like at the end of the day, wtf? How the hell is the West starting to look worse than Russia and China?
How the hell is the West starting to look worse than Russia and China?
because you have become disillusioned by the inward propaganda but still believe the outward?
paramilitary indiscrimenatly grabbing, shooting, killing in our cities. I was raised that this is how russia and nazi germany ran.
Turns out we’re also the bad guys i guess
Absolute power corrupts absolutely
If crimes go unpunished, we need a serious overhaul of our “Justice system”.
If there are two-tiers of justice, that isn’t justice — it is corruption with a mask.
You have a Legal Sytem. You’ve never ever had a Justice System. They are different things, though often confused.
Good point. I’ve heard that, recently, too. Didn’t pass through my consciousness while writing the post.
The fact they’re trying to really claim only two people committed crimes is fucking insane.
And it’s not just trump, the prosecution started before Obama was in office, and they’ve known about more people for 20 years.
But everyone who sees that list suddenly decides not to prosecute anyone else.
Either because they’re all protecting wealthy people, or more likely everyone that gets the blackmail material decides they’d rather use it as blackmail themselves rather than bring anyone to justice.
Maybe it’s fear not power they gain from seeing the list.
Epstein could not have done as much harm as he did, had it only been two people. There are so many moving pieces to an operation at that scale, and so many must have been complicit. From direct coconspirators to enablers, even the networks of enablers who knew enough by association and still did nothing. People knew Epstein was no good but didn’t care.
And we’d be idiots to believe he was the only one or everyone else suddenly quit.
Everything Epstein did at his worst is still being done right now. And the same people aren’t speaking up.
But going after who we know was connected to Epstein, gets them to snitch on others. That’s the real reason no one gets prosecuted, they’ll keep uncovering new monsters and then investigating them.
The people who’ve had the access to these files for 20 years legitimately don’t know where it will end up. And I think that’s the real reason no one will do anything. It’s basically a button to blow up the current world order and anyone in the position to push it, has too much to lose personally from pressing it.
That’s all the more reason someone needs to push the button tho.
If we don’t actually flush these people out of power, they’re gonna keep doing what they’ve always done.
I wish to remind all that Jimmy Savile was an “open secret” for at least 15 years…at least.
edit:word
It’s a little naive to think there was no overlap too
If not with Epstein than with Maxwell’s dad before. Like that’s the whole point of an international trafficking ring for the purpose of blackmail…
When you get one person, you make them snitch on everyone they know who’s also into it. Then you get them too. Wash and repeat as you collect powerful and influential people like Pokemon. Both operations were too large that not a single person was involved in just one. And the first person in both would have told both rings about the other.
When Saville went down they at least got a couple other people. But the royal family was likely just throwing people under the bus to keep eyes off Andrew.
Fully going after everyone on that list would drastically shake up a lot of the worlds governments, and the thing is that’s a good thing. Shit needed changing for a long time, but it needed a giant push like this to get people motivated to do it all in one go, and that’s the only way this works.
Newton was right…I’m going to insult that twink virgin.
Also the powerful women outside of Maxwell need to be called out. Something this prolific doesn’t happen without powerful women using thier presence as a way to placate victims.
When Epstein cut his sweetheart deal on 2008, one of the specifications was immunity for all of his co-conspirators. They’re all off the hook.
Make the Guillotine Great Again
Lock every single one of them up and throw away the key. The world will be a better place. Full stop.
I have found that in the study of chaos and fractalization, affecting the smallest will impact the largest. That we do not take the dis-ease of impunity upon the weak, makes the whole much weaker. IOW we are as strong as our weakest link and we are promoting some weak-ass fucking links. As human beings, we allow this. As human beings we condone this. As human doings, we suck ass.
