Epstein Files: The Power Players Newsweek Forgets to Name
Newsweek reports on a congressman outlining details about ten 'co-conspirators' in the Epstein saga (Newsweek, January 10, 2018). It’s a convenient narrative that keeps the spotlight on nebulous figures, never quite zeroing in on the truly well-connected. We hear whispers of powerful names, yet the systems that allowed his predation to flourish—systems often built by and for the powerful—remain
largely unexamined. It's a classic media move: spotlight the scandal, obscure the systemic rot. While outlets focus on the salacious details, they rarely connect the dots to the deeper rot of elite impunity. We're left to wonder: how many such figures have their own networks, their own immunity, their own convenient omissions from the public record? The silence around those details speaks louder
than any congressional outline.
