DOJ's Epstein Files: A Transparency Act or a Slow-Motion Cover-Up?
Mainstream media hails the Department of Justice’s acknowledgment of requests for Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs, dutifully reporting it as a step toward transparency. Yet, this 'transparency' arrives years after Epstein’s alleged suicide in federal custody (a death the DOJ, conveniently, found no one responsible for), and long after many prominent figures were publicly photographed traveling on
his infamous 'Lolita Express.' The media frames this as a new development, rather than a forced concession to public pressure decades too late. One might wonder why the names on these logs – names many already know or can easily deduce from public appearances and flight manifests – remain so shrouded in mystery. The speed with which the state secures national security secrets stands in stark
contrast to its leisurely pace in revealing uncomfortable truths about its powerful friends. How many more years until we learn what was discussed on those flights, or is the 'transparency' only for the manifest, not the manifest content?
