The failing of pieces like this, however, is the "subject/object" nature of the reporting. This report talks about how Epstein "lured" the bank into doing things, and how they were covering for him, etc, etc. That's 50% true, and in and of itself is of course bad. But it misses a huge piece. What this continues to do is make Epstein the mastermind. This makes Epstein appear to be the prime (and sole) motivator behind all this activity. That is extremely unlikely. Epstein was an employee. Until reporting begins to look at who was Epstein working for, the ring remains basically untouched. They have just replaced the face of the organization.

It's equivalent to saying that when Biden goes, the Democratic party would disappear. No. This is a good reminder of how well-entrenched this ring is. But they are still reporting it without examining why it's so deeply interconnected.
