In 2019, Jeffrey Epstein was arrested for sex trafficking minors. By 2020, he was dead. In between, the world caught a fleeting glimpse into a world it was never supposed to see. Epstein’s black book included princes, presidents, professors, billionaires, Hollywood moguls, and intelligence agents. The Lolita Express logs showed names like Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey, Ehud Barak, and Alan Dershowitz. The island’s infrastructure was designed for secrecy. Victims described orgies, coercion, and surveillance systems built for blackmail. And yet, despite the overwhelming mountain of evidence, not one of Epstein’s powerful clients has been arrested.
Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s long-time accomplice, was convicted of child sex trafficking in 2022. But the names of those she trafficked children to remain sealed. Not a single client list has been released to the public. We are told to accept that Epstein ran a global trafficking network for the elite, yet somehow did it alone. Even more damning, ABC News anchor Amy Robach was caught on a hot mic in 2019 admitting the network had the story in 2016—including interviews with victims and photos of Prince Andrew—but suppressed it due to pressure from Buckingham Palace.
This is not justice. It is selective silence. Epstein is not an outlier. He is a blueprint. He is the clearest modern example of how the world’s most powerful men operate behind closed doors with legal immunity. He did not need to hide. He was protected. He flaunted it.
PIZZA, ART, AND MACRON’S BOOKSHELF: THE SYMBOLIC CODE OF THE RULING CLASS
Much has been written to discredit the so-called Pizzagate scandal, and for good reason. Unfounded claims and amateur internet sleuthing obscured real concerns. But in the rush to dismiss, the media ignored one undeniable reality: John Podesta and his brother Tony own and commission art that depicts bound children, acts of cannibalism, and graphic violence. These are not conspiracy theories. These are verified facts. The artists include Biljana Djurdjevic and Marina Abramović, whose “spirit cooking” rituals include mock cannibalism and occult symbolism.
John Podesta’s emails, released by Wikileaks, included cryptic references to “pizza,” “hotdogs,” and “cheese” in ways that defied normal context. A private party in the backroom of a pizza shop included a performance by a band known for sexualizing children. Comet Ping Pong, the location at the center of the controversy, had Instagram posts referencing toddlers and explicit jokes involving children. None of these details prove a child sex ring. But they certainly raise questions that no journalist has dared to pursue.
French President Emmanuel Macron added to the growing list of elite provocations in 2023 when his official presidential portrait featured the book “Testo Junkie” by Paul B. Preciado. Preciado is a radical queer theorist who has argued in favor of abolishing the legal age of consent and dismantling traditional conceptions of childhood. Candace Owens rightly pointed out that the book was placed on the table deliberately. It is not background decor. It is a message.
These signals are repeated across elite spaces. The goal is not to conceal depravity but to normalize it through exposure, irony, and aesthetic distance. This is not secret behavior. It is behavior masked as sophistication. The depravity is public. The denials are performative.
HOLLYWOOD’S ROLE IN GROOMING AND GLORIFICATION
Hollywood is not a passive observer of these trends. It is an active priesthood. Celebrities and studios regularly push films and music that normalize or eroticize children under the guise of “art” and “liberation.” In 2020, Netflix released “Cuties,” a French film that featured eleven-year-old girls twerking, stripping, and posing for adult judges in provocative outfits. The film was defended as a critique of sexualization. Yet it sexualized. Its director said she wanted to “spark conversation.” She sparked outrage instead. Netflix doubled down.
In 2023, HBO aired “The Idol,” featuring underage sexual themes and grooming scenarios framed as empowerment. The show’s co-creator, Sam Levinson, had already directed “Euphoria,” which graphically depicted teenage sexuality for adult audiences. Meanwhile, prominent figures like James Gunn—now head of DC Studios—had posted tweets joking about raping toddlers, participating in “to catch a predator”–themed parties, and making graphic sexual references to children. Gunn was briefly fired, then rehired. Apologies were accepted. His career advanced.
Nickelodeon, once a staple of family programming, has a long history of sexual misconduct allegations. Dan Schneider, creator of numerous kids’ shows, was quietly removed after years of rumors about inappropriate behavior, especially involving minors’ feet. His departure was not accompanied by public accusations or criminal charges. Just silence and severance.
The entertainment industry does not merely tolerate pedophilia. It courts it. It jokes about it. It rewards those who flirt with it. It casts underage actors in adult roles, hires known predators, and punishes whistleblowers. It saturates media with sexual content aimed at adolescents while simultaneously shaming those who call it out. This is not accidental. It is strategic.
POLICY, PROTECTION, AND THE POLITICAL CLASS’S WAR ON CHILDHOOD
The legislative world mirrors Hollywood’s cultural messaging. Laws are being passed that erode protections for children under the banner of equity, inclusion, and bodily autonomy. California’s SB 145, signed into law in 2020, allows judges to forgo registering adult offenders as sex criminals if the victim is between 14 and 17 and the offender is within 10 years of age. The stated purpose was to eliminate discrimination against LGBT offenders. The practical effect is that adult men, as old as 24, may avoid registration after sex with 14-year-olds.
School systems across the West have embraced “gender affirmation” policies that allow children to change their name, pronouns, and identity without parental knowledge or consent. In some jurisdictions, teachers are advised not to inform parents if a child is undergoing gender transition at school. Activist groups are pushing for hormone blockers and surgical referrals for minors, with medical institutions like Boston Children’s Hospital and Kaiser Permanente involved in offering these services to youth
At the international level, the World Health Organization published a document promoting “sexuality education” beginning at age four. The UN has issued policy guidance that calls for “decriminalizing all consensual sexual activity,” with vague language that has raised alarm about underage implications. These documents are drafted by bureaucrats far removed from the families they affect, but the consequences are real and immediate.
Under the guise of progress, childhood is being dismantled. Institutions that once protected children now claim that innocence is a harmful myth, that self-determination includes irreversible medical decisions, and that parents must be bypassed in favor of state-sanctioned ideology. The cultural engine and legal machine are working in tandem to sexualize, destabilize, and sever the natural bonds between children and their moral safeguards.
DESECRATING THE IMAGE OF GOD
The first reason the elite prey on children is not merely sexual. It is theological. Whether they know it or not, their lust for the young is about desecrating innocence—an attack on the very image of God. In nearly every civilization, children have symbolized purity, vulnerability, and divine trust. When Christ placed a child in the midst of his disciples and said, “Unless you become like one of these,” he elevated the child as the model for entry into the kingdom of heaven. To defile a child is to spit in the face of the Creator. That’s not accidental. It is the point.
This is why ancient pagan religions sacrificed children on altars. It was not because they lacked adult victims. It was because children represented something sacred. The Canaanites burned their sons and daughters to Molech in public ceremonies. The Phoenicians did the same to Baal. In many of these systems, child sacrifice was not punishment but offering. It was viewed as the most precious thing a person could give because the child was viewed as the most sacred. Inverting that equation, the most precious becomes the most profitable to corrupt.
The elite do not sacrifice children with fire anymore. They sacrifice them with scalpel and camera. They sexualize, mutilate, and propagandize. They rob children of their innocence, of their protection, of their normal development. Whether through grooming, trafficking, or ideology, the target is always the same: the child must be transformed from an image bearer to an object. Once objectified, they are useful. Once broken, they are silent.
This is not a new form of evil. It is the oldest form of blasphemy. Satan hates God, but he cannot strike Him directly. So he defiles His image in man, and he begins with the most undefended. When Jesus warned that it would be better to tie a millstone around the neck of anyone who harms a child, He was not using hyperbole. He was drawing the battle lines.

I don’t know what’s more heinous and grievous than child sex predating. The nearest equivalent I can see to it is rape. If I were to ever encounter either one, I’d be sorely tempted to permanently end that depravity right then and there.
