Jeffery Epstein’s “Birthday book” dedicated to him and compiled by his girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell for his 50th birthday is quite an eye opener. The book has been reported on for several months now, but most of us had our eyes wide shut. Too few of us paid close attention to it and what it revealed about what the Breaking Points podcast anchors are calling “the Epstein Class,” the extended network of billionaires, princes, and presidents who frolicked with Jeffery at his New York mansion or at Epstein Island. I will note that I mentioned Stanley Kubrick’s final film Eyes Wide Shut in yesterday’s article, commenting that the film was a too-close-for-comfort depiction of elite depravity. As it turns out, Epstein and his cronies seem to have been fascinated by the film in the way that real-life mobsters were fascinated with The Godfather. A number of luminaries, including Epstein lawyer Alan Dershowitz, contributed to the birthday book. Dershowitz’s contribution was a direct reference to Eyes Wide Shut. The most depraved parts of the birthday compilation are sexualized photos of children, and bizarre crayon drawings made by children.
Donald Trump has denied that the letter signed by him and included in the birthday book is authentic. That seems unlikely, given his history with Epstein. Bill Clinton is quite prominent in this story as well. The book was apparently in the possession of the Justice Department and was probably shared with Ghislaine Maxwell’s defense team prior to her trial. Breaking Points’ Emily Jashinsky suggests that Maxwell may have had a hand in leaking some of the contents of the book to The Wall Street Journal as a “shot across the bow” to Trump indicating that she had the goods on him as well as on a lot of others. Jashinsky suggests that Maxwell may have been bargaining to be transferred to a cushy “Club fed” style federal prison.
I leave readers to view the Breaking Points segment below describing the contents of the book in so far as the anchors can stomach it. We have to acknowledge a painful truth: there aren’t any good guys in the system, at least any who actually wield power. And we should ask ourselves a troubling question: “Who really runs the world?”
