The Pedophile Network: Money Laundering, Abuse, and the Russians

You know what really grinds my gears: When wealthy shitheads construct entire ecosystems of exploitation while the rest of us pretend the stench isn't choking us all.

There's a particular feeling you get when reading through someone's emails—like pressing your palm against cold glass smudged with fingerprints, each whorl revealing something the owner thought was invisible. The packet of correspondence between Jeffrey Epstein and his network of enablers doesn't just smell like rot. It tastes like bile rising in your throat when you realize how casually evil operates in broad daylight, dressed in business casual and signing off with "please note" disclaimers.

These aren't leaked documents from some shadowy conspiracy. These are the actual fucking words these people typed to each other. Real sentences. Real coordination. Real human beings constructing the infrastructure of predation while discussing it like they were planning a goddamn dinner party.

But what happens when the insanity is the majority? What happens when the people with power actively choose to inhabit a reality where trafficking children for sex is just another networking opportunity?

Let me paint you a picture of how this shitshow actually functioned. On February 11, 2017, Kathy Ruemmler—former White House Counsel under President Barack Obama—exchanges messages with Jeffrey Epstein about whether Donaldo Shitsburger is "still feeling good." Epstein replies: "he will blame everyone around him. for bad results. gary cohn in good place. all others, not long for this world.. intresting argument whether using whats app is obstruction of justice. deletes after sending. ?"

Here's where the fuckstick goes from bad to worse: This isn't gossip. This is a former top government lawyer casually shooting the shit with a convicted sex offender about White House personnel decisions and whether encrypted messaging apps constitute obstruction of justice. The banality is what makes your stomach turn—the way they discuss the mechanics of power like they're comparing lunch options.

The texture of these exchanges is all wrong. There's no hesitation, no moral pause, no moment where Ruemmler thinks "why the hell am I still talking to this cumguzzling predator?" Instead, we get May 25, 2016 correspondence where she's asking him about White House Counsel opportunities: "What's the thumb nail on Nussbaum/foster?" Epstein responds with insider political analysis like they're colleagues workshopping career moves.

Feel the weight of that. A former White House Counsel—someone who supposedly represents the pinnacle of legal ethics—is seeking career advice from a man whose crimes were public record. The disconnect isn't accidental. It's engineered. It's how power protects itself: by creating a reality where professional utility trumps moral accounting every goddamn time.

September 19, 2014 brings another exchange. Ruemmler writes: "Doesn't look like you are prioritizing your schedule very effectively.....how are you going to manage all of that? this is a huge week so can't talk freely." Epstein responds with a list of powerful people he's meeting: "this week, thiel, summers, bill burns, gordon brown, jagland, (council of europe and nobel chairman). mongolia pres, hardcep purec (india), boris (gatcs). jabor (qatar). sultan (dubai,), kosslyn (harvard), leon black, woody."

Read that shitlist again. That's not networking. That's a convicted sex offender maintaining active relationships with:

And Ruemmler is worried about his scheduling. Not his crimes. Not his victims. His fucking calendar management.

THE PROXIMITY:

And here we are. Looking. Watching good people—or at least people we're told are good—do precisely fucking nothing except maintain their connections to power.

The Specific Pattern That Deserves Disemboweling

Larry Summers—former Treasury Secretary, former Harvard President, the economist motherfucker who helped deregulate the financial industry—writes to Epstein on October 27, 2017: "Softbank deputy guy i liked and seemed aware and honest re Son. Lots of slathering to saudis. I yipped about inclusion... DjT is world s luckiest guy in terms of opposition, economy etc. still think his world will collapse."

Translation: A man who shaped American economic policy for decades is casually corresponding with a child sex trafficker about Saudi business deals, Donald Dumpstump's political fortunes, and diversity initiatives. The cognitive dissonance required to maintain this relationship—to keep those two realities in your head simultaneously—requires either contempt or delusion so profound it defies comprehension.

This isn't isolated dickwaddery. On November 6, 2016—literally election night—Peter Mandelson writes to Epstein: "What's the donald white house? And how are you?" Epstein responds: "trump/ and having agreat deal of fun. in hindsight. you were right about staying away from andrew. I was right in your staying with rinaldo."

Let that settle into your bones for a moment. British political heavyweight Peter Mandelson is consulting with Epstein about Prince Andrew—whose own connections to Epstein's trafficking network were already under scrutiny. They're casually discussing proximity to power, who should distance themselves from whom, all while maintaining their own cozy fucking relationship. The calculation is nakedly transactional: protect the network, manage the optics, but never—never—actually sever the connections that matter.

But responsibility is a luxury these asswipes can't afford. Because accepting responsibility means acknowledging complicity, and complicity means consequences, and consequences are for poor people who can't afford lawyers expensive enough to redefine reality.

THE MAXWELL DOCUMENTS:

On March 4, 2011, Epstein received correspondence regarding Ghislaine Maxwell—his partner in recruiting and abusing minors. The document outlines allegations that Maxwell:

This isn't speculation. This is documentary evidence that a vast network of wealthy and powerful cocksuckers participated in—or at minimum, knew about—systematic child abuse.

The same fucking month, Epstein is sending emails about Ghislaine Maxwell to journalists and media figures, discussing whether they should respond to inquiries. The calculations are transparent: How do we manage this story? Who can we pressure? What narrative can we construct that protects the network?

July 1, 2011: Epstein writes to Peggy Siegal—a publicist and socialite— suggesting they investigate the victim: "I promise you she is a fraud. you and i will be able to go to ascot for the rest of our lives. I know there is a public police report that no one has had the courage to publish, as they do not want to be seen attacking a 'victim', but being falsely accused will be the new headline."

That's the fucking playbook, isn't it? Attack the victims. Question their credibility. Make them the story instead of the crimes. And all of it communicated casually, like they're planning brunch, not coordinating a cover-up of child sexual abuse.

Except these aren't good men doing nothing. These are powerful shitstains actively doing something—maintaining relationships, providing access, offering advice, managing narratives. The evil doesn't triumph because of inaction. It triumphs because of calculated, deliberate, sustained action by people who know exactly what they're protecting.

But taking sides requires acknowledging what's in front of your face. And what's in front of our faces is that the people who run shit knew. They fucking knew.

The synthesis is clear: We have constructed a system where proximity to power inoculates you from consequence, where professional ambition requires selective blindness, where maintaining access means swallowing your humanity in increments so small you barely notice the taste of bullshit anymore.

Not "networking." Not "complicated relationships." A conscious choice to prioritize career advancement over the safety of children.

These same dipshits who claim to fear authoritarianism are the ones doing exactly what authoritarianism requires: looking away when it's convenient, maintaining relationships that advance their interests, calculating which associations can be acknowledged and which must be memory-holed.

The emails reveal a pattern so consistent it reads like choreography. May 22, 2017: Reid Weingarten—a prominent defense attorney—emails Epstein asking "do you want it? or jared?" regarding representing Trumpty MouthAnus as outside counsel for the Washington Post story. The casualness with which Epstein is consulted on these decisions—as if his opinion on legal representation for the fucking President matters—demonstrates how thoroughly embedded he remained in elite power networks despite his conviction.

June 21, 2017: Epstein sends a YouTube link with the subject line "How are u? Send this interview to Donald Trump pls. Its going to be everywhere." He's still operating as if he has direct influence, as if his connections to power remain active and valuable.

Consider the pattern: • Ruemmler, White House Counsel, stays in touch despite Epstein's conviction • Summers, economic architect, exchanges ideas and gossip
• Michael Wolff, journalist, discusses opportunities to "finish" Donny TurdATrump while coordinating with Epstein • Weingarten, defense attorney, consults Epstein about representing the President • Mandelson, British political heavyweight, coordinates strategy regarding Prince Andrew

What does it say that our institutions—legal, academic, journalistic, financial—all maintained these connections? That nobody thought their career was worth sacrificing to say "this man trafficked children and I will not take his calls"?

The answer is simple and makes your intestines twist: These connections were worth more than children's safety. Professional access, insider knowledge, networking opportunities—all of it weighed heavier on the scale than the lives of teenage girls who couldn't defend themselves against billionaires and their lawyers.

The smell of these emails lingers like smoke in fabric—you can't quite wash it out. It clings to everything it touches: the Obama administration, Harvard, major media organizations, financial powerhouses. The rot isn't localized. It's systemic.

Tomorrow, another dickweed in a position of authority will make the calculation that staying connected to power matters more than their principles. Another institution will quietly distance itself from scandal while protecting everyone involved. And the same fucking people who write op-eds about democracy will continue to prove that democracy is just networking with better PR.

But that's not how it has to be. That's just how it is when we collectively decide that elite impunity is the price of admission to a functioning society—when we treat accountability as a luxury good only affordable for people without connections.

The question isn't whether powerful people will continue to protect each other. They will.

The question is whether we're going to keep pretending we don't smell the corpse-stink of our institutions rotting from the inside, or whether we're finally going to acknowledge that the people we trusted to lead us chose access over humanity, power over decency, and networking over the lives of children who couldn't fight back.
