Most of the people I know fetishizing about Jefferey Epstein's death have very little to say that is of any use to Survivors. Sexual exploitation and grooming are quite common activities. Industrial scale activities. Globally sex trafficking is valued at $150 billion.
Global statistics on human trafficking are on the rise: every day thousands of women, men and children are trafficked worldwide for various exploitative purposes. The International Labor Organization (ILO) estimates that there are currently 25 million victims of human trafficking around the world.
Human trafficking is an issue for all countries and communities. Importantly (and surprising for many), human trafficking does not necessarily involve the crossing of international borders. Moving from town to town, within a single country, the people victimised are shunted around like cattle to the market.

Most people I see obsessing about Epstein and other famous abusers appear to have not engaged with current study, research or writings on the prevalence of sexual exploitation, the psychology of sexual abuse, the dynamics of deliberate traumatisation, on the nature of learned behaviour in a toxic environment, on inter-generational behaviour patterning associated with poverty, warfare, deprivation or discrimination, or on the psychology of hierarchically violent cultures, let alone the psychology of egalitarian cultures or even the biology of behaviour.
All of which help inform a grounded understanding of the realities of sexual exploitation as a global cultural problem.
Many of the people I see with this fetish are using a few incidences of sexual exploitation to have a go at selected politicians rather than explore the full meaning of sexual exploitation as a characteristic of this culture we are living within. It's not just the rich and powerful who behave in such awful manner. The problem is cultural. Misogyny is everywhere. Sexual harassment is ubiquitous. If you're a women, you meet it everywhere you go.
What does not happen much is decent men talking seriously to other men, saying "enough of this already - it stops here!" and taking deliberate, informed action to confront the attitudes that enable the stream of sexualised harassment, that feed the culture of male entitlement and accepted 'natural' misogyny - men are more powerful than women, naturally - that is the toxic sea within which sexual exploitation industry floats it's boat.
Many of those people I am writing about have taken no viable action to support Survivors, even though the Survivors have been the very people who have been working so hard to bring cases forward. People make memes about Andrew Windsor, they take aim at Andrew Windsor, yet they do not want to talk about the lives of the survivors who challenged Mr. Windsor. What they lived through and why they were forced to live through all of that by a careless society. Too much work, me thinks. If we look at it honestly, we cannot ignore, we have to take action.
When Survivors step forward and place witness testimony and evidence in the public domain, when they take up that exhausting work that has been carried out for decades, and has been bringing proven offenders to justice, they are serving all of us.
The conviction rate for Rape in the UK is less than 2% of cases reported, and we know that reported cases are way below the real world incidence.

No.
It seems to me that there is a pattern of people who prefer their 'beliefs', their fetishes, their drama and their lack of knowledge over the hard, courageous work of confronting abuse directly, the work that so many Survivors are engaged in.
We all had so much to say about Jimmy Savile, and yet nothing to say to the Survivors, let alone the desire to listen to them and to learn from them. Savile is still more famous than the people he harmed. Hitler is more famous than the people his Government harmed. Johnson is more famous than the people his regime has harmed. Blair is more famous than the people his wars have harmed.
What support do the Elite Pedo-ring Conspiracy Freaks offer to the millions of ordinary Survivors dealing with their abuse every day?
Where are the go-fund-me crowd funding efforts to support their legal teams?
Where were the Marches for Justice when men and women who had been victimised, abused and harmed were taking the Vatican to court? Why was the bulk of society absent to that effort?
Where are the press writers writing about cultural abuse dynamics, with a view to examining this culture and it's abuse dynamic, honestly?
Who truly supports Survivors of Sexual Abuse by going to the Survivors and asking, in all humility, "What can we do to help you?" and "What do you think needs to be done to prevent this from happening again?"

None of us would know anything of Epstein's activities if it were not for the courage of Survivors - those women who decided it was time to confront the powerful, knowing full well the power disadvantage they were facing. What courage does that take?
Courage to speak truth to power, honestly, fearlessly even though they were likely petrified.
And note that he was indicted, and was able to use his power and connections to evade the appropriate sanction, and was able to continue to cause harm. Reminds me of some Catholic Priests, and others, abusers who were allowed to evade sanction in order to preserve the good name of others.

None of us would know anything of what went on in elite Catholic boarding schools, and many other forms of institutional residential care systems worldwide were it not for the Survivors who took direct action, via the courts.
Support Survivors in their work, please.
Do not fall for the drama, the feverish drama, the speculation.
If you don't know enough to understand the problems, then please, be humble enough to learn.
Kindest regards

Thank you for reading this blog. All we need to do is be really honest, responsive to the evidence we find,and ready to reassess when new evidence emerges. The rest is easy.
