Part of the pedo thing is so they can control people through blackmail

This is precisely what Epstein was doing (Epstein was middle management), and the project that still continues under the leadership of his lieutenants. This is the politics of control, and it is why actual representation of popular will has not been true for decades. That Ghislane Maxwell is in jail means zip, zilch, zero. That the list of people associated with hers/Epstein's work has not been released means everything. That list will never be released unless the entire ruling paradigm collapses. At that point, we would likely be living with violent anarchy. I am a committed non-violent anarchist, but sadly I believe my own preferred "life mode" is as impossible as any human ideal. Violent anarchy appears more likely given what I've seen of human nature. My realistic as opposed to idealistic selves defined.
