Epstein Files Released: Media Asks ‘Unanswered Questions,’ Ignores Obvious Ones
The latest wave of Epstein documents has landed, and The Independent dutifully reports on the 'unanswered questions' surrounding the late, un-suicided financier. They highlight the almost 30,000 pages released and the 'possibly a million more to follow.' But while they ponder the guest list, they conveniently sidestep the elephant in the room: how do such figures operate with impunity for so long,
and how many 'elites' were fully aware, or even complicit, long before now? Instead of questioning complicit systems and institutional failures that protected powerful predators—including those with extensive ties to political and financial capitals—the narrative remains fixed on the individual, rather than the network. One might theorize that a truly independent press would investigate not just
the names, but the systemic protection afforded to billionaires who traffic underage girls, especially when those individuals held sway with national and international figures. What questions remain 'unanswered' only depends on how hard you're willing to look at power.
