As is now well known, following the approval of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, three million pages, 180,000 images and 2,000 videos were made public between the end of 2025 and the beginning of 2026.

These are available here: https://www.justice.gov/epstein.
Other batches of documents had already been published, including the list of over 1,200 victims. However, despite the enormous quantity of documents available for consultation at the US Department of Justice, more than two million files are still missing.

As well as Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, the files refer to a wide circle of people more or less involved in this hellish affair, including US presidents such as Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, former diplomat Peter Mandelson, Bill Gates, Elon Musk and Prince Andrew Windsor-Mountbatten, as well as Richard Branson, Michael Jackson, Steve Bannon, the princesses of Sweden and Norway, Brett Ratner (director of the Melania Trump documentary), Google co-founder Sergey Brin, Ehud Barak, Noam Chomsky, Woody Allen, Kevin Spacey, David Copperfield, Mick Jagger, Naomi Campbell, Stephen Hawking and many others.

1. So much for confidentiality!

A few weeks ago, an avalanche of photos, videos and emails was released to the public, causing confusion, indignation, anger and hatred.

This is the first issue I would like to address.
There is talk of a cabal of rich and powerful people with a licence to commit crimes across the board.
But if I were a criminal or someone who facilitates crime, and I wanted to make criminal opportunities such as those we have before us available to friends and clients, I would do so with absolute confidentiality. This is what the people involved should have demanded for fear of blackmail (as indeed happened).

Right?

Obviously, with the acquiescence of my high-ranking cronies, I wouldn’t start collecting a sort of Encyclopaedia Britannica of photos, emails and videos.
But no.
Even assuming that Epstein was (or still is) a pawn of Mossad — and perhaps of other intelligence agencies too — an organisation famous for blackmailing the world’s powerful elite, well, all the more reason I would want to commit my favourite misdeeds in absolute privacy.
Or not?
And yet here they are, all caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
This is very strange, and it can only seem natural in a world where one avoids thinking at all costs, given that these mechanisms have been working very well in total secrecy and in the absence of any documentary evidence whatsoever for years and years – well before the Epstein affair.
If these files have indeed been hidden or ignored by the relevant authorities for years, despite being known about and monitored by higher levels of power, it’s clear that the network linked to Epstein was used not only for personal purposes, but also as a tool for controlling and blackmailing political leaders, scientists, and important figures in international finance.
Let’s keep that in mind.

Faced with the magnitude of the scandal that has been unfolding for several weeks, everyone active on social media has filled their accounts with content on this issue, and – in the case of fellow journalists – their public statements.
Independent journalists, of course, because those embedded in the mainstream media are wary of doing so as they have…families to support.
Therefore, I decided to wait some time before publishing a personal reflection, as the sheer volume of data to be examined can be as much an enemy of the truth as a lack of evidence.

Even though it is impossible to view millions of files and understand every facet of the horror they convey, I believe it is also unnecessary if we want to observe the matter from a spiritual point of view as well as an anthropological and political one.

2. The astonishment of right-thinking people

A second fundamental point to consider, in my opinion, is the widespread astonishment at the revelations about the corruption of many of the people who guide humanity’s destiny.
This is truly symptomatic of the majority of the population’s absolute desire to ignore reality, now that they are totally manipulated by so-called information.
In reality, a few independent journalists and authors have been trying for years to publicise episodes that have regularly been ignored or censored by the mainstream media and have only briefly emerged in the news before being plunged back into obscurity.

I would like to mention a few of these episodes.

The first concerns Cathy O’Brien, a victim of Project Monarch, which is one of many sub-projects of the CIA‘s MK ULTRA experiments that began in 1953.
As a sex slave, Cathy was ‘made available’ to many national and international leaders for years.
She and her daughter, Kelly, were rescued from sexual abuse and mind control by Mark Phillips, a former intelligence agent. During the rescue and healing process, Cathy gradually recovered memories of what she had witnessed while under mind control.
Subsequently, Cathy and Mark collected a large number of documents, pieces of evidence and testimonies, accusing the US government of committing crimes through mind control against thousands of citizens.
This investigation culminated in the 1995 publication of Trance Formation of America, a harrowing account of the abuse and violence endured by dozens of young sex slaves ‘used’ by the paedophile Satanist elite, whose identities she exposed.

You can read the text on this website: https://www.liberopensare.com/autori-vari/cathy-obrien-mark-philips-trance-formation-of-america/

The ‘practices’ denounced by Cathy thirty years ago are the same ones described by Virginia Giuffre, a victim of Epstein who apparently died by suicide last year, in her book Nobody’s Girl.
When I talked and wrote about it after reading that book, which was like taking a real journey into hell, I was ignored and ridiculed as gullible and a conspiracy theorist. I was in good company with all those who dared to talk about Satanism and the ritual murder of young people.
But that’s how it is: the cognitively dissonant only see what they are told to see.

A more recent example — but there are many — is that of Dutch entrepreneur and financier Ronald Bernard.

He came to little public attention in 2017, when he stated in a series of interviews that, while working at the highest levels of international finance and committing financial abuses, he had been offered the opportunity to participate in ritual child sacrifices abroad in order to rise to the top of the power pyramid.
Initially, he was invited by a colleague to ‘elegant dinners’ where exciting substances, drugs and available girls or boys could be found, as well as promotions, money and power.
However, when he unexpectedly found himself faced with the need to participate in a ritual sacrifice to seal a pact of joint responsibility and submission, he fled.
His refusal to perform this act marked the end of Bernard‘s financial career. After years of persecution and healing processes, he declared that he had been tortured and suffered a total psychophysical breakdown.
You can watch the interviews with Ronald Bernard, which were broadcast on the Dutch platform De Vrije Media (DVM TV), here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXdk11vQw-P9KdqnTtkr8fb4eCFMAQSWK

We could also briefly mention Gabriela Rico Jiménez. The 21-year-old Mexican model was filmed outside the Fiesta Inn in Monterrey, Mexico, on 3 August 2009. She had attended an elite fashion event there, which brought together prominent businessmen, politicians, and other figures whose names appear in the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Ruslana KorshunovaShe began screaming that they were eating human flesh inside.
She was arrested and has since disappeared without a trace.
Another example is Karen Mulder, the Dutch supermodel who was famous in the 1990s. She claimed to have been raped by several powerful men and has recently returned to the news.
Unlike Gabriela Rico Jiménez and Virginia Giuffre, Mulder did not suffer the same unfortunate fate, but she disappeared from the public eye after her revelations.

Another of Epstein’s victims was Ruslana Korshunova, a promising model from Kazakhstan. She flew to Epstein‘s island at the age of 18 and suffered such profound psychological consequences that, after several years of treatment, she threw herself from the ninth-floor window of her New York apartment, ending her life.

However, it was the uproar caused by Virginia Giuffre‘s testimony in 2011 that created the conditions for the decades of denial to finally be exposed.
That year, she passed on information and details about her life as Epstein‘s sex slave to a Daily Mail journalist, providing photos that implicated Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, in the Epstein affair.
A few years later, in 2018, Julie K. Brown of the Miami Herald gathered over 80 testimonies from people claiming to be victims of sexual abuse perpetrated by Epstein and his ‘friends’.

This led to the Epstein case being reopened in a federal court, resulting in his arrest in July 2019 on charges of ‘trafficking persons for sexual exploitation’.
The rest is recent history: searches of his homes uncovered a vast quantity of child pornography and photos, as well as instruments of torture.
According to reports, Epstein‘s life came to an end on the morning of 10 August 2019, when he was found hanged in his cell.

However, this official account is completely lacking in credibility.
The fact remains that the announcement of his death, published by the US Department of Justice, is dated 9 August 2019, i.e. the day before he was found dead (see image on the left). The announcement was written by Geoffrey S. Berman, the Manhattan District Attorney, who stated that Epstein‘s body had been found by prison staff.
It seems the Department of Justice has some very talented fortune tellers who can predict the death of a healthy person the day before…

3. The Silence of the Wolves

Now, let us ask ourselves: how is it possible, in this day and age, with all the information that has leaked out over the years, to be ‘taken by surprise’?
How is it possible to have heard about these situations, even if not exactly on the front page, and not ask questions?
In my opinion, this — not the news about paedophile Satanists who rape and murder children — is the most shocking thing of all.
How can we not ask ourselves the question:

‘Maybe it’s all exaggerated to annoy someone’? But what if it’s true? Let me look into it.’ Let me see if children are really disappearing into thin air.’

All you have to do is consult Google to find some data — it’s not secret, it’s available to everyone.
There was a film called The Silence of the Lambs.

But here, there are no lambs, no innocents; we are all wolves.
Guilty of not wanting to see or understand.

In Italy alone, over 11,000 reports of missing children were made in the first four months of 2025, of whom 8,059 were foreign and 3,352 were Italian. Of the 8,059 foreign children reported missing, 2,889 were found. Of the 3,352 reports concerning Italian children, 2,486 were found.
In 2024, Missing Children Europe, an NGO, received over 124,000 reports across Europe, almost double the number in 2023.
The worst case was in the United States, where 349,557 reports concerning missing young people and minors were entered into the FBI database in 2024 alone.
Of those who were found, either alive or dead, what happened to the rest?

Is it so difficult to realise that what is depicted in this prime-time horror film is true?
If so, can we still turn a blind eye and become desensitised to the horror, especially in light of the Deputy Minister of Justice’s statement that the Epstein files contain images of torture, abuse and death?
At this point, it is no longer possible to talk about abuse or excesses, but rather a complex system that has allowed the powerful to commit the most terrible organised and ritual crimes against children for years.
We can no longer hide behind ‘I didn’t know’ or ‘I read something, but there was no definitive proof’.
Not only is it now abundantly clear that these paedophile networks trafficking human beings on an international scale exist, but they also enjoy the highest levels of international protection, as well as political, police, judicial and media cover-ups.
Until now, anyone who denounced the West’s shameful hypocrisy and double standards was labelled a conspiracy theorist or dismissed with the retort, ‘Why don’t you go to Russia or China then?’

But today, the facts unequivocally show that the people involved in this horror story are the same ones who manage policies, elections, wars, restrictions and compulsory vaccinations from the top of the institutions.

So what now?

4. The Overton Window

The disclosure of the documents stems from an order issued by Judge Loretta Preska of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in the civil case of Virginia Giuffre.
However, the judiciary does not act alone; the removal of ‘classified’ documents is the result of years of legal battles. This is not a spontaneous leak, but a controlled release carried out in stages to allow the system to gradually absorb the scandal and possibly delay or prevent the exposure of certain names.
Assuming that many people finally realise, despite the media’s pseudo-censorship, that we are facing an event that should cause the overthrow of the corrupt Western governments, what will happen?
Will the guilty be punished?
Will corrupt organisations be dismantled?

Some have written that ‘after Epstein, nothing can continue as before’.
Well, this reminds me of the cry of ‘no more wars’ after the First World War.

The timing of this revelation of horror cannot be ignored; it follows closely on the heels of the genocide in Palestine, creating the most gigantic and horrendous Overton Window aimed at convincing humanity that this is the new normal.

It is also possible that the blackmail linked to the files is no longer useful to those in power, but remains an effective tool for causing social chaos and distracting public opinion from more profound economic and geopolitical changes.

The old order is collapsing, and the publication of the files could be used as a weapon of mass distraction or as a tool in a final showdown between rival elites.

The dissemination of names would serve to delegitimise and neutralise specific leaders, preventing them from influencing the political future in the gang war that is shaking the world order and removing factions of power.
This would not be a victory for justice, but rather a change in the management of compromising material. Those who produced it are dead, those who exploited it have already done so, and those who are now disclosing it are doing so as part of a specific strategy.
In this case, the files would represent the legacy of a system that exploits human weaknesses rather than constituting a genuine act of transparency or truth.

In conclusion, the Epstein case presents objective facts indicating a serious systemic anomaly involving opaque wealth, relationships at the highest levels of global power, anomalous judicial protections and a death in custody characterised by sensational protocol failures in 2019.
Some believe that Epstein did not work for a specific state, but rather as an operator within a global power system geared towards controlling and consolidating influence. If the goal is global domination, as articulated by figures such as George H. W. Bush, then control is achieved by compromising governments and, indirectly, intelligence services.
Epstein certainly did not have the characteristics of a great financial strategist, yet he systematically managed to close deals at the right time. This suggests that he received instructions from higher centres of power, such as the Rothschild family, whom Epstein repeatedly claimed to represent.
In other words, Epstein does not appear to be a creator of economic value, but rather a functional intermediary who was useful for connecting power, compromise and silence. It seems that his role was to trap the elite through transgression and keep them controllable through secrecy and blackmail.

The real scandal is not the man himself, but the system that made him possible and which remains intact: networks that have never been fully exposed, diffuse responsibilities that have never been clarified, and protected narratives.
In a way, Epstein becomes the scapegoat, while the structure survives.
It is important to understand that condemning the individual is not enough: until the power mechanism that requires figures like him is questioned, the phenomenon will continue to repeat itself with different methods and protagonists.

5. The Meaning of Evil

The third point is linked to the sudden exposure of the true nature of evil at a particular moment in history.
Unexpected, disconcerting and incredible.
These are the impressions of most people confronted with the evidence of horror laid bare in the Epstein files, which speak of violence, human trafficking, snuff films, rape, infanticide, and organ trafficking.
If no real convictions follow in the face of this overdose of horror, it is to be expected that the dissemination of these files will be a real spiritual poison for humanity. Immersion in images of violence and depravity will lead to the normalisation of horror and collective addiction.
Rather than providing catharsis through justice, it will generate a crescendo of frustration, impotent anger and cynicism, confirming the impression that evil regularly goes unpunished. This mechanism generates learned helplessness, a condition in which people stop believing that their actions can change reality.
What is needed to counter this, then, is the spiritual perspective that can shed light on the events by revealing their underlying causes.
Spiritual science enables us to enrich our view of events by providing broader meaning.

According to Rudolf Steiner, the forces of evil and death are, in fact, side effects of cosmic processes that are essential to evolution.
In the fifth post-Atlantean epoch, which began in 1413, humanity’s central task is to confront and transform evil through consciousness.

Evil will approach the human being of the fifth post-Atlantean epoch in every conceivable form. Scientifically he will have to solve the nature and essence of Evil. In his loving and in his hating, he will have to grapple in the right way with all that springs from Evil; he will have to fight and wrestle with the resistances of Evil to the impulses of the Will. All this is essential to the tasks of the fifth post-Atlantean time. (Rudolf Steiner, Spiritual Scientific Notes on Goethe’s Faust, Vol. II, GA 273).

While the forces of death allow the human being of the fifth post-Atlantean epoch to integrate with them and welcome the higher parts of the being (spiritual self, life spirit and spirit man), the forces of evil only act partially in the present human being; their full integration will only take place in a future epoch.
True evil is not found in outward actions, but in the evil dispositions present in the subconscious of each individual — a universal potentiality in the age of the conscious soul.
Their cosmic purpose is not to provoke crimes, but to inspire human beings to consciously receive spiritual life, transforming these tendencies into an evolutionary impulse.
Evil is not an absolute entity, but rather a combination of Luciferic and Ahrimanic forces acting out of time or place and manifesting as temptation or obstacles.
Visible evil actions, which we judge as evil in external events, are merely a distorted use of these forces.
Consciously accepting evil enables the conscious soul to develop and achieve spiritual freedom, fostering active interest in others and enriching future civilisation.

Therefore, evil must be understood in an internal sense, transforming it into a positive force for human evolution without generating pessimism, but rather impulses of awakening and conscious action.

Now in the fourth post-Atlantean epoch, the epoch of the Intellectual or Rational Soul, birth and death were active in man in characteristic fashion; as yet there was no need for him to be aware of them externally. Now, in the epoch of the Consciousness Soul he must perceive them externally; to this end he must again develop in himself something else, and this is very important. (Rudolf Steiner, From Symptom to Reality in Modern History, GA 185).

The real goal is not to destroy evil, but to transform it.

Through the impulse of Christ, these obstructive forces can fertilise spiritual development, enabling humanity to grow and evolve consciously.
In the face of the worst imaginable evil – that perpetrated against innocent beings – what is required of us is the awakening of our consciences to recognise the true meaning of these events.
Goethe summarises this well in the words he puts into the mouth of Mephistopheles in his Faust:

“I am part of that power which eternally wills evil and eternally works good.”
