All this hand wringing about Jeffrey Epstein’s bad behavior…No doubt he needs punishment. But Let’s be clear how his repugnancy was able to go undetected…and then virtually unpunished for so long. Let us not forget that we are the land that is so very good at ignoring injustice; that we are the land that has brought us that “exemplary” national behavior that has accommodated in a somewhat linear order:

Slavery to Reconstruction…and then
Lynching to Mass Incarceration, the new form of legalized slavery, enabling billions of dollars of profits earned on the backs of blacks, people of color and women).
Add to these historical periods, the relative newly growing “prison for profit industry” and the newly emerging forms of “Trumpism”, lying right below the surface, which has revived all of the un-eradicable strains of White supremacy consciousness,  which in turn has historically and indelibly compelled the viewing of the “Other” as less than human.
Let’s consider the parallels of the billions of dollars earned by the “Injustice System” to the billions earned by the porno industry, which makes money by reinforcing the objectification of women as disposable toys available primarily for the unrestrained whims and urges of male sexual fantasies. And then let us ask, “Why are we so surprised”… when a billionaire like Epstein gets caught simply giving actuality to these fantasies, which are secretly harbored in the imagination of every tiny, little politician from your local traffic cop to the Supreme Court (or did you think Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh have tossed out their secret stash of porno images hidden away for their private porno viewing?)
Here’s a news flash…just as our great US of A justice system has a history at every level of applying the law in all sorts of ways to ignore justice for thousands of innocent prisoners who have either been executed or allowed to languish in prison for years on end for no other reason than failure or refusal by our Justice system (from arrest to appeal) to consider for even 30 minutes OBVIOUS  exculpatory evidence…and for no other reason than RACISM…we have the same type of mentality at work when the exploitation, humiliation and ruination of young girls is considered to be no more important than the purchase of a disposable sex toy, which is to be used, abused and thrown away like a pair of worn sneakers that no longer please the taste of the entitled male purchaser. Money doesn’t just talk… it shouts, it swears it Controls!
I would like to see the porno collection and/or the X-rated viewing history of  most of the male officials who look the other way…although some of these sexless/joyless blobs of stagnant protoplasm may be so fearful of female sexuality that they may be operating out of an abstinence that is grounded in pure and simple bitterness at their lack of any sexual joy in their drab, empty lives…an emptiness that requires finding substitute fulfillment in hate, anger and bitterness…best vented against woman either by their own private exploitation, or by ignoring the exploitation that they should be protecting against.

The systemic problems with our justice system are going to be difficult to fix as long as the consciousness of too many people has not evolved enough to recognize the common humanity and dignity of each and every one of us… and the respect, love and care we should want to give to each other…every day!

  1. Sunlight does seem to be getting used more as a disinfectant. There isn’t enough money in the world to keep this in the dark now.
