Crack open a cold one with the (of legal drinking age) boys and peer down this rabbit hole:

You know, reading things like this makes me realize that the truly horrific Evil found in the Old Testament and contemporaneous writers from the ancient world is still with us today. The brutal subjugation of the weak for the pleasure of the strong, the gross violation of purity and innocence for its own sake, the odious worship of false gods, the callous disregard for human suffering, the elevation of carnal ecstasy to the level of a sacrament... I know that the prophets, and later Christ Himself, explicitly warned us about such Evil but I have to admit (to my great shame) that I didn't believe such blatant, organized, dogmatic Evil—Evil with a capital E—still existed in the civilized world.
I believed in lowercase-E evil, sure enough. A quick survey of the 20th century is all you need to be convinced of Man's bottomless capacity to inflict unthinkable acts of violence upon his bretheren. This was an evil to be feared to be sure, but it could be comprehended from an academic point of view. Rather, it was the Baal and Moloch cults olf the Old Testament that seemed outdated to me. A golden calf? Really bro? I was a good little Modern and put these and other similar stories in their proper historical context by interpreting them mythologically—as the Israelites rebelling against Jehovah—and taking the lesson that we all turn away from God sometimes and must repent. However, in extending this biblical insight to my life in the 20th century, I translated "rebellion" into more anodyne forms that I could understand: swearing, drinking to excess, sloth, and sexual licentiousness.
This translation most certainly did NOT comprise me, or anyone, actually making common cause with a
demon.
That kind of rebellion against God simply had no place in a high-tech world of cars, TVs, manned flight, and instant communication. I mean, the Satan already had so many new toys with which to tempt human beings in the Space Age that I thought he had long ago given up with the gilded idols, the human sacrifice, and the swaying, chanting acolytes. His new weapon, Technology, had produced human death and suffering on an industrialized scale in two world wars; why bother to get the rubes to worship a statue when you've already got them mowing each other down with machine guns? The civilized world had moved beyond such things.
And yet, Epstein.
The more I read about this craven husk of a man and his creepy sycophants, the more the curtain is drawn back to reveal the visage of pure Evil. Not the petty "I had lustful thoughts" or "I stole something" kind of evil. Golden calf Evil. Canaanite Evil. Carthaginian Evil. Evil for the sake of Evil.
A person doesn't do what Epstein and Maxwell (and probably the Clintons and a host of other elites) are alleged to have done
just for pleasure. To commit such inhuman acts in such an organized, efficient manner for years tells me that personal predilection isn't the primary thing driving their actions. Nor is it money or power; let's be real, these people have more than enough money and power already. To do what these people are alleged to have done, for as long as they have, belies some deeper devotion. Some kind of orthodoxy. An infernal dogma. The code of silence that surrounds this story, the corrupted individuals involved, and the "suicides" of those associated with it, have only strengthened my belief that this is not just a loose circle of like-minded pedophiles trying to stay under the radar, but something far more sinister.
An obscene, horned shape lurking behind that slowly withdrawing curtain. Yeats' rough beast slouching its way to Bethlehem to be born.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Lord God, have mercy on us.
Christ Jesus, protect us.
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
